Javanka in Exile as the starter. Everyday Treason Thread #49

Prior Thread.

I love that they're nailing Ivankadonk on her "rented" apartment from the Trump org., veering in price from 8 to 20+ million depending on the instrument/need involved.

The resident was a bit flummoxed herself; this was her first face-to-face encounter with the former First Daughter. “She’s well put together,” the neighbor remembers. “She’s had a lot of work done, and it’s good plastic. It’s Miami, and there’s a lot of bad plastic here. She has good plastic.”

Thanks for making the thread, OP. Why do they keep locking these?

R3, may her whole family need epitaphs very, very soon.

[quote]Asked whether he was expecting Ivanka Trump to appear, Raskin declined to answer directly but said, "I personally am expecting everybody who was asked to come and testify to come and do it. And most people are doing it without a subpoena."

Don’t Judge Me, Dad!

The Treason really really runs deep. My god. Make no mistake this is all the result of, not conservatives having unpopular policies they can’t win on (that is true), it is the fucking billionaires who have too much power and never want to be questioned. They envy Russian oligarchs. They’ve made it possible, likely through a combo of blackmail and willingness, for an entire political party to turn to fascism.

r7 - How do you fight against the oligarchs, FCI? They have the money and the deplorables unwittingly on their side.

[quote] the fucking billionaires who have too much power and never want to be questioned.

Thanks for saying that, FCI.

Listening to MadCaw's unhinged rant tonight and also Boebert, one of the things that has occurred to me before is that they are placed there to read the script that people who have no sense of decorum or patriotism would give themselves if they could. THAT is why it sounds so absurd. Why the text may refer to "the American People" (it always does), it is absolutely only serving the person who has purchased the delivery mechanism.

i hope they get fat

R8 By a slim margin. This is going to be the biggest white knuckle ride of our lives. I know people think I’m being partisan, but the billionaires really haven’t gotten their claws into Democrats with Sinema and Manchin being huge exceptions. The 1/6 committee and DOJ can go a long way into stopping or slowing down their treason.

[quote] i hope they get fat

Waaaaaaaayyy ahead of you, r11.

r11 -

[quote]The 1/6 committee and DOJ can go a long way into stopping or slowing down their treason

The 1/6 committee can only do so much, FCI. What's your take on the DOJ?

The threads get paywalled at a certain point, r4. They get paywalled faster when the thread becomes a steady stream of links from a poster. It reads as spam and the thread gets paywalled.

R13 1/6 can do a lot about perceptions with the hated swing voters. We need every single vote. We can’t spare any.

DOJ- who the fuck knows. They are they key. If they do their job, this is a slam dunk. DOJ is full of MAGA slowing things down.

[quote]DOJ is full of MAGA slowing things down

Thanks, FCI. That would explain things. So what do you think Garland will do?

R16 I think he will put forward a case when they have an air tight one. You can’t swing and miss at this.

By the way, FCI, do you know Angry Staffer?

I envision the two of you having scotch-n-btich sessions together..

R18 How do you know I’m not Angry Staffer? :)

Scotch? I’m only 36. Though I do love my Woodford Reserve with a little bitters and simple syrup with another former intern friend every Saturday. After the sex, of course.

[quote] [R18] How do you know I’m not Angry Staffer? :)

I did consider it. But he references a wife and kids from time-to-time.

That bit at the end of the story, where she stole a pumpkin.

Kleptomaniacs once and forever, all of them.

r17 - I get that, FCI. But the impatience is growing for at least an acknowledgment that they aren't doing nothing. At least it's giving Trump time to do more stupid things and dig himself even deeper.

She didn't steal it, r21. She was allowed to take one and had a henchman (the bodyguard) do the dirty work for her. She's a Trump, remember?

R20 I was joking about the sex. He’s straight.

R22 And digging he is, isn’t he? What a fucking moron.

Pence Chief Counsel Greg Jacob Testifies, Called a "Patriot." Jeff Clark Finally Forced to Testify

Every other commercial here in Houston is pro-republican. They are blitzing the market here. There were four pro-(insert republican candidate) commercials in a row many times today.

R14, I know there was some weird obsessive link poster on previous threads but I don't think that happened in the last one. I think they just paywall popular threads to try to get people to pay.

R26 - Same in Dallas. And two of the four are for George P. Bush.

More reasons to like Robin and Ken.

I wonder which neighbors the Secret Service must run to in order to use the bathroom, since the Kushners don't allow 'the help' to use their own personal facilities.

^The kids' allotted time for Secret Serv protection hasn't expired yet?

Yeah I thought it was 6 MONTHS not forever

David Geffen will rescue them from social exile.

"They're both lovely people" he said of them in the NY Times, right after Trump was elected and the Times published a "Style" section article on the Kushners.

Of course, maybe Geffen was still grinding his heel into the Clintons with whom he had a falling out with before Hillary's run in 2016.

I thought they bought land on that Trump trash island and we’re going to build a house while they stayed in the apartment. But upthread it says they’ve bought a house - so why not move into the house? They’d certainly be more at home on that swampland.

Josh Hawley & Tucker Carlson are parroting Russian talking points. Tucker is a Murdoch media propagandist & entertainer. Josh is a U.S. Senator with responsibility to support U.S. interests and security, as well serve his constituency.

And the nose job looks weird.

Ivan Kratsev has an interesting Opinion piece in today's NYTimes, setting out the notion that Putin doesn't really want to invade Ukraine, but that he is rather acting aggressively in order to try to destabilize the Europe / US alliance. I linked it below, since I think they maybe don't paywall their Opinion pieces, but am not certain about that. I *did* try to copy and paste the most relevant part, but it was too long for Muriel's size limitations.

^The gist of it is that Pootie wants the West to just sort of hand over to him control of all the countries in the former Eastern Bloc under Communism.

"The country occupies FIFTEEN time zones."

Yeah, but they're the crappy ones that nobody wants

I love this quote from OP's article:

That's the best epitaph Ivanka will ever get: "She has good plastic."

I want to meet that neighbor. "She has good plastic" and "Slenderman" made me laugh.

Security must be costing Jared and Ivanka a fortune. They no longer receive secret service protection from the government. So it has to be coming out of their pockets now.

I'm surprised no one hasn't tried to take both of them out yet. They're both garbage people.

We are Pennsylvania Democrats.

Republicans have controlled the State House for 23 of the last 27 years. In November, we need to flip 12 seats to elect a blue majority.

We need help – we are 500 followers shy from 11,000. Can you RT and follow to help us elect local Dems in PA?

^ I'm from PA. Republicans dominate the state legislature because PA is gerrymandered as hell. PA Republicans are fucking horrible, they are desperate for an "audit" of the election that Trump lost a year ago. Morons.

Always believe a guy who parties like this wife his wife...

I'm always surprised when rich people choose to live in Florida. That humidity is disgusting and everything feels sticky & grimy.

Unbelievable

Wow. Florida is a cesspool.

I've mixed it up with Christina Pushaw more than once on Twitter. She's the most unqualified, unprofessional media person for a governor you'd ever meet. She doesn't respond to legitimate news outlet's requests for information, she's mean and vindictive and has already been suspended from Twitter, but I fail to see what any of this has to do with the Kushners

If the Democrats had an ounce of how to play this game (and they don't) they would find a special prosecutor named Brandon. Qualifications don't matter, you just want to steal the meme. Remember when the fascists were 'proud teabaggers' until they found out what it meant?

It’s the general treason thread. Not every post has to be about the Kushners despite the title referencing them.

Is Christina Pushaw the one who posted “how do we know they are really Nazis?” about the neo-Nazis?

^ Ok, my bad

Love this cartoon on Christina Pushaw by Andy Marlette. I got in a lot of trouble when I posted it to her Twitter

Old hands on these threads know I cannot give this up, because I know the answer is very very fascinating:

Thank you for comment, ElderLez @ r73. The Washingtonian article was chosen because it was a different angle, "light" and perhaps amusing, yet quite relevant. It indicated "as a starter", so posters know "Javanka" does not need to be the sole focus, though it is an attractive subject matter for DL.

I am the OP of THIS particular thread.

Nice to see you R75 and thank you for starting the thread R76 Tundra! I agree that Javanka is an attractive subject for DL.

Guess who's not getting invited to Thanksgiving dinner!

Rona McDaniel, head of the RNC, is totally in the Trump camp because she fears doing otherwise, will cost her the lucrative job she has. These types value holding an office or lofty job for profits and status, over being honest, forthright, and having a moral compass. Most GQP House & Senate members, and many on the State level, exhibit such behavior.

So...

What are Ginni's husband and DeathSantis secretly up to?

[quote] In one of the emails about having DeSantis talk to “conservative patriots,” Ginni Thomas says that DeSantis should be acquainted with her for a few reasons: she interviewed him for the Daily Caller when he was in Congress, saw him at a state dinner when Donald Trump was president, and “my husband has been in contact with him too on various things of late.”

I often get the feeling that if they were around in 1940, Tuck-Tuck and Joshy would be arguing that we should support Hitler because he was winning and he had a right to more lebensraum and why did we care about the Brits and want to spend so much money on them anyway

^I hope *someone* secretly records the shenanigans at the Federalist Society this evening, and lets us know what those creeps are up to.

Liz responds:

“The leaders of the Republican Party have made themselves willing hostages to a man who admits he tried to overturn a presidential election and suggests he would pardon Jan. 6 defendants, some of whom have been charged with seditious conspiracy."

While GOP Rep. Andrew Clyde described Jan. 6 as a "normal tourist visit," Ronna McDaniel and hardcore Trumper David Bossie now characterize it as "legitimate political discourse."

Which I guess paves the way for citizens to forcibly invade any state capitol they wish to, for any reason they feel is legitimate.

Jane Mayer was interviewed on the NPR Fresh Air show the other day, and described how Ginni Thomas was desperate to get a meeting with Trump at the WH, but kept getting rebuffed. Finally, Trump consented to have the Thomases for dinner, and shortly thereafter Ginni got her meeting, where she gave Trump an earful, telling him which people needed to be purged from government and banished from the Repug party, etc. for not being right wing enough for her tastes. After she left, Trump announced he never wanted to see that loon again.

And yet the list of loons he continued to see (and continues to see to this day) is endless.

Which ties in to Missouri Senate Bill 666, R84.

Lindsey Simmons:

[quote] That this bill is in direct response to the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, the reckless actions of the McClosky’s + the sham that was the Rittenhouse trial there is no doubt.

They really, really, want violence without any repercussions.

Ginni Thomas has been deplorable for decades. Below is a 2015 article whereby she phoned Anita Hill and left a nasty message.

Ginni needs to be brought down a few pegs, and account for her activities related to the 1/06 insurrection.

Clarence Thomas is participating in SC deliberations and votes that are blatant and gross conflicts of interest.

I'm really curious as to how a successful Black man ended up married to an ugly right-wing cunt like her. You'd think he'd be a bit more liberal and not aligned with a bigot like her.

Missouri, Texas, and Florida have gone to extreme levels of right-wing, fanatic policy-making.

That is the funny thing about Trump--sometimes he spots the loons immediately (Ginny Thomas) and other times he throws his full weight behind them (Sydney Powell)

^He backed away from the Kraken pretty early on her rampage, considering what she was trying to do on his behalf. He's a conniver, not stupid when it comes to his grift.

^He's played the litigation game enough times to know well that when you make *totally* groundless allegations in court, you often get assessed to pay the other side's attorney's fees.

[quote]That is the funny thing about Trump--sometimes he spots the loons immediately (Ginny Thomas) and other times he throws his full weight behind them (Sydney Powell)

Ginni is fat. Trump doesn't like obese women. Who knows what he thinks of that marriage.

Ginni came to DC as an intern to a Repug congressman from her flyover state, Oklahoma I think. Her family was well known in their town as crazy conservatives from way back. They belonged to the John Birch Society. In her movements through loony right wing DC circles, Ginni was introduced to Clarence Thomas and they bonded over their shared Neanderthal views.

And love of pubic hairs.

R89: Thomas was never a polished speaker.

Until adulthood, gruff, young Clarence had been raised in a modest home by a good, traditionally conservative grandfather. As a young lawyer he was captured by cynical Federalist Society types, who convinced him his failure to advance further (despite having attended Yale Law) was not due to racist attitudes toward his Black, country-like comportment, but rather due to Yale having admitted other minorities, who were not - they said - his equal. Thus, they explained, he was deemed unqualified by other whites because of “Them.” Hence his antipathy for “affirmative action “ despite the same process being used to admit sports prospects and the children of alumni.

He is smart. But once firmly ensconced within that conservative cult (like a 24/7 captive of Fox News) he came to accept their flattering (to him) twist on reality.

Ginni was very much a rising, hanger on in that world. She was his ticket to acceptance. He was hers to fame.

Please, R97, never believe that the Federalist Society is comprised of Fox News believers. I know quite a lot of them and they are among the best educated people in the United States. Evil yes, but let's not underestimate the intelligence of the other side.

People who say that Clarence Thomas is smart, can you give some examples?

I always thought he was extremely dim and gullible. He doesn’t seem smart to me at all. He is always repeating what somebody else says. He has a very limited pool of concepts that he just keeps repeating in different ways. Like a dumb kid who never intellectually matured.

But he has never come across as a “bright” person to me.

Clarence is manipulative. That is not the same as intelligent. He thinks like a criminal. But a dumb criminal.

Raping his secretary, marrying for money….The guy takes bribes in plain sight for gods sake. Not the smartest tool in the shed.

I don’t buy the line that Clarence is some cerebral genius. Give me a break. He is a common criminal, on par with the neighborhood drug dealer. He should be praising affirmative action because he was an affirmative action super court pick. And a corrupt pick at that.

There were many smarter judges to choose from. But this dud was chosen precisely for his questionable morals.

Federalist Society's prime agenda is about the big banks and corporate interests such as pushing for increasing deregulation and tax cuts for the very wealthy.

People who are willing to take the low road, and people who don’t possess a single moral like Clarence often are framed as “smart” or evil “geniuses”.

I think it’s lizard brain territory myself. Common thug mentality.

Try to get ahead without lying and cheating and taking bribes. That is much more difficult and takes much more intelligence.

Thomas is not really in the Federalist society. The let him think so because he’s a token and he is on the court. They use him be he will never be one of them.

Don’t tell him that. He seems to think he is one of them.

The Koch country clubs would never allow him in. But they will take his slobbering loyalty to their advantage.

Thomas was from Savannah. He benefited from Affirmative Action through his higher education and career moves. Then, he has sought to shut AA down for others.

[quote] Two sources who have reviewed the call records tell CNN that Trump spoke on the phone at the White House residence with Jordan for 10 minutes on the morning of January 6. That afternoon, Jordan took to the House floor to object to the certification of President Joe Biden's Electoral College win, and pro-Trump supporters attacked the US Capitol.

[quote] A key focus of the committee's investigation has been on the runup to the insurrection and the myriad ways Trump and his allies, including those in Congress, tried to overturn the election results. The new details about the morning phone call come as the committee is debating whether to move forward with a subpoena for Jordan after he refused to voluntarily appear for an interview.

[...]

[quote] One entry in the White House records shows a request from Trump to get Jordan on the phone from the White House residence on the morning of January 6. A second entry shows that the length of the call was 10 minutes.

[quote]Lindsey Graham Spent Six Years With His Head Up Trump’s Ass for Nothing

Literally? One would assume he enjoyed it.

Of course Gym Jordan was talking to him. Of course

Johnson claims to have spoken to Trump "several times" 1/6. Each conversation is important, and an interesting sequence of illicit and criminal oinks, I expect.

I thought I read this on DL, though it might have been elsewhere: -- isn't there someone relatively famous whose parents were Goldwater-style bedrock Conservative Republicans. But even they thought that the family down the block, who were John Birch-style uber-right wingers were batshit crazy. And what was that batshit crazy family? Ginny's parents.

Did I hallucinate this or can someone provide the details I forget

[quote] isn't there someone relatively famous whose parents were Goldwater-style bedrock Conservative Republicans. But even they thought that the family down the block, who were John Birch-style uber-right wingers were batshit crazy.

If you haven’t listened to the Jayne Mayer NPR interview or read her New Yorker piece you’re behind.

There was a lot of news that week. But I’ll post them both. A must read/listen.

Is Ginni Thomas a Threat to the Supreme Court?

Behind closed doors, Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife is working with many groups directly involved in controversial cases before the Court.

New Yorker staff writer Jane Mayer discusses the conservative beliefs and influence of Ginni Thomas, wife of Justice Clarence Thomas. She's a right-wing activist and has been associated with some groups involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

I don't agree with Liz on much, but...

The GOP is now pro-terrorism

It's scary that people like this are running for office

And yet the media will keep attacking Biden because "both sides"

R89. He’s successful because he’s conservative. He would never have been put on the court and we would never have heard of him if he were a liberal. He was one of the tiny number of hard right black jurists available to Bush. Thomas “deigns” to think for himself.

^I had the sense at the time that it was a VERY cynical move on the part of Pappy Bush and his henchmen: they *had* to pick a black man to replace Thurgood Marshall, just because of the political reality of the situation, and so they worked hard and picked the very worst black man they could find. That's all it was.

Yes. But only Biden would pick judges based on race.

^No sane adult should be the least bit hesitant or shy about saying that the highest court in a democracy should fairly represent the backgrounds of its citizens. The Court SHOULD be roughly 50 percent women (and it has been ALL white men until, what, just about 40 years ago?). No black women have ever been appointed, and that should be remedied. For Republicans to whine that this means we won't have the "best-qualified" Justice selected is just horseshit, and they should have it stuffed down their throats. They are DISGUSTING, conniving little shits. I say this as an old white male attorney.

I was being sarcastic in the context of how pathetic Thomas was and how obviously he was chosen for his race.

I know, 129, but the Repuglicans ARE bitching about Biden saying he would put a black woman on the Court, like it was some kind of moral outrage.

We need a way to spin this! Help!

I taught Clarence Thomas to use his BlackBerry.. he is not smart.

Junior wants a pat on the head from daddy.

R141 let them all die

[quote]At one time, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were the darlings of the New York City social scene (and even the Democrats). And Ivanka, who had her own line of clothing, was a fashion scene darling. Both realized that things were going to have to change after Donald Trump's one term in the White House that resulted in two impeachments and a violent insurrection in his name.

Which of you high society NYC DL bitches have had cocktails with Jared?

They may be fine now enjoying Cuban cuisine and becoming fans of the Miami Hurricanes.

Tim Ryan is awesome. My dad's congressman. My dad was a lifelong Republican until eight years of W turned him around and starting with Obama, he became a proud Democrat. He wept bitterly when Trump won. But, by God, he LOVED Tim Ryan, even got to meet him twice before he died. (My dad, not TR.)

I live a couple of blocks from the house they lived in in DC. It's in a very swanky neighborhood surrounded by large houses and mansions occupied in great part by ambassadors and their families and wealthy corporate executives.

I just assumed that their neighbors would have been friendly to them because they were part of the White House and had access, and rich people and diplomats tend to be opportunists who value power and money over morality and integrity.

After a couple of years, the Kushners had a large wall 10' or 12' high built around the back of their house. The house is very close to neighboring houses. The wall isn't that obtrusive but it is unusual for the neighborhood.

Anyway, I was THRILLED when I wandered by in September before the election that every single house in close proximity to the Kushners' house had Biden or anti-Trump signs in their yards. It felt to me like a 'Care Bear Stare' beaming love at the evil Kushner monsters in the neighborhood. The house directly across the street from them in particular had several signs that included "BYE DON" and others directly telling Trump to get outta town.

I don't generally get off on seeing anyone suffer but every member of this family worked overtime to earn ill will. They are a cancer on this country.

And I know people don't agree, but that goes for their children, too. People defended Tiffany and said she is probably a decent person since her father shunned her all her life. She sold out and did his bidding when he was at the height of his evildoing. Barron is a teenager but he was raised by the same man who all of Trump's kids look up to, plus soulless Melania. There is a zero percent chance he will turn out to be anything but an evil, opportunistic, predatory, cancerous adult. No one in the family deserves the benefit of the doubt, no matter what they look like, how soft spoken they may be or their ages.

r149, I enjoyed reading that r149, although I do have a bit of a soft spot for Barron who I've always anticipated may, one day, change his last to Knauss, Melania's pre-marriage name.

"There is only one sin in wealthy New York society and that is poverty" as quoted in the New York Times "Style" section and said by an observer who knew the community well. This was in the context of yet another article on the Kushners, Trump 's mid-term, and if they'll be welcome back in NY.

Could the Kushners be an exception to that statement? I have no idea, but, they've earned and deserve pariah status.

I love Tom Ryan I think he has a real shot

“No one in the family deserves the benefit of the doubt,”

Amen!

Ronna may soon be out as RNC Chair. David Bossie, longtime Trump adviser, is pursuing the job.

Ronna did not push Trump's false claim of election fraud strong enough for his liking.

The RNC may become a part of Coup Attempt II, or just a continuation of the existing coup effort with more operatives strategically placed in their network.

Bossie was the driving force behind the RNC's censure of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, so that wouldn't be surprising.

Law professor says Clarence Thomas' vote in Trump case should set off alarm bells

Sasse:

Trump can't be President without Jared. Jared knows all that smart stuff like the Constitution 'n shit. Even though he lost his his security clearance, the powers that be had to look the other way and let him back in, because they realized he was really the one running the country.

Building on R155. Clarence Thomas certainly should have recused himself from the Congressional papers case.

The usual test for recusal is not whether there is an absolute conflict, but rather whether there is the evident appearance of a conflict. By reason of the numerous reports of Ginni Thomas’s involvement in events surrounding the January 6th insurrection, we’ve long ago blown way past that standard.

The fact that the Supreme Court vote was 8 (including all of Trump’s appointees) to 1, demonstrates the issue was not partisan. The fact that Clarence knew what the vote would be in advance (when the Justices caucused) means he knew he want going to be able to block the release of whatever he suspects (or knows) is likely in those papers.

Recusal would have maintained his neutrality, while letting the majority do what the law compelled them to do.

Instead, he sacrificed the remains of his judicial integrity in order to please his wife.

“he knew he Wasn’t. . .”

Uncle Thomas needs to be impeached

By my careful, precise calculations those shreds disappeared some time in the last millennium.

This really jarred be because of how stupid he is. Just dumb.

[quote]Trump has already singled out 10 House Republicans for extinction. He is attacking GOP governors and backing their primary challengers, while meddling in Senate races where it may lead to the nomination of flawed candidates who are ill-suited for a general election. He is fomenting a rebellion against the party’s Senate leader, Mitch McConnell. And this week, in Salt Lake City, it was David Bossie, the former Trump deputy campaign manager, who was leading the effort to kick Cheney and Kinzinger to the curb.

Bossie has headed Citizens United since 2000.

Remember Russians hacked the RNC. What if most republicans have not been legitimately elected and Russians have receipts? It would explain the slavish devotion to Low T.

From r177's link, so depressing:

The two-day meeting also will feature former Vice President Mike Pence and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, as well as a session billed “The End of Roe v. Wade?” that will be moderated by a federal judge appointed by former President Donald Trump. The high court is weighing a major rollback of abortion rights, and could overrule the 1973 Roe decision.

And at the State level...

Arizona really does have some crazy people at the state level. Wendy Rogers and Kari Lake probably have a shrine to Trump in their bedroom (their individual bedrooms - not one that they share...)

Wendy Rogers is a stupid, racist, homophobic cow

Republican Donors Rush To Save Kyrsten Sinema As Grassroots Money Dries Up

Does Kevin McCarthy still room with Frank Luntz to make sure Frank takes his medicine?

That is not the first explanation and is a strange one. As Luntz owns a luxury penthouse, he should be able to afford a nice pill organizer from CVS for $10.99.

NYT:

Faced with at least 16 Trump allies who have signaled they will not fully cooperate with the committee, investigators have taken a page out of organized crime prosecutions and quietly turned at least six lower-level Trump staff members into witnesses who have provided information about their bosses’ activities.

The committee is also considering granting immunity to key members of Mr. Trump’s inner circle who have invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination as a way of pressuring them to testify.

Chickens coming home to roost, R196, good way for low-paid, under-appreciated, abused staffers to get even!

The Dear White Staffers Instagram account publishes anonymous stories from Capitol Hill staffers. It's exploded in popularity as Hill staffers call out bad bosses, low pay, and a lack of diversity. One staffer said he hopes the bad press forces lawmakers to "reevaluate how you run your office."

How do we deal with this?

Lil' Marco, it is told, still misses quite a number of Senate sessions, committee meetings, and related work. Absenteeism is part of his reputation for those that are familiar.

R201, leave me alone! I have lots of foam parties to attend and lots of public parks to visit at 3am. I can't be everywhere at once!

You mean he's a typical Cuban Repug from Florida, R203.

Paul Gosar doesn't want anyone messing with his buddy, Nick Fuentes. Gosar expresses his feelings for Fuentes on Gab.

[quote]Established in 2016, Gab is a social networking site that attracts the ultra-right-wing. It serves as an alternative location for people to share unvarnished views, including hate speech, that likely would be removed for violating more mainstream platforms' terms of service agreements. Gab can act as a new online forum for those who have been barred from participating in the more commonly-used online sites.

Also, not enough bacon.

"As staffers watched in shock at what was unfolding down Pennsylvania Avenue on television screens positioned throughout the West Wing, Trump’s attention was so rapt that he hit rewind and watched certain moments again.

“Look at all of the people fighting for me,” Trump said. At one point, the president was confused why staffers weren’t as excited as he was watching the unrest unfold."

It went something like this...

[quote]Former President Donald Trump is reportedly charging $100,000 for attendees of an upcoming fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago to take a photo with him, with ticket prices for a private dinner soaring to $250,000. An invite to the event — shared on Twitter by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman — shows that the cost to attend the Take Back Congress Candidate Forum on Feb. 23 at the private Palm Beach, Florida, club starts at $5,000. A source recently told PEOPLE that Trump and his wife, Melania Trump — who recently celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary — are "very happy to be in Palm Beach." "Donald plays golf regularly with political guys who fly down as well as with social friends from his club, and Melania keeps busy with her family, the spa at Mar-a-Lago and her own business and philanthropic interests," the source said. As one source told PEOPLE in January: "[The former first lady] knows what Donald wants from her, but the rest of her life is dictated by her own interests. Each has come to respect what the other wants and needs."

[quote]According to the invitation, the event will also be attended by PAC chair Pam Bondi — the former attorney general of Florida — and Kimberly Guilfoyle, the fiancé of Donald Trump Jr. and the national finance chair of another Trump PAC, America First Action.

$250,000 for the private dinner? For lap dances? They damn sure better have Lindzebelle there for those very high fees?

Those pesky records...

More GOP racist gerrymandering

The Republican Party is now a terrorist organization, and should be banned from government.

She's ruining her life for a "client" who does not, and never did, give a flying fuck about her. She is so pathetic.

Miss Marsha Blackburn concerns herself with Covid protocols for public employees in Los Angeles, but says nothing about book burnings & child jailings in Tennessee.

R226 Sidney appeared in court a lot with Rudy Giuliani challenging voting results with no evidence, while espousing ridiculous conspiracy theories. She hasn't disclosed her funding sources, specifically. The MyPillow guy? It would be big contributors but none from DJT himself

I think it's weird that in some states you have to state a party affiliation on your voter registration. My state does not require one.

Who in Congress is advocating "defund the police", the tired old slogan Republicans use in a distorting way against the Democrats? It was Republicans that opposed additional funds for the Capitol Police, and opposed Covid relief money being used by states to support police.

We need to expose the billionaires funding this march towards autocracy. So much money in the hands of so few. Who knew that would be such a disaster to let (and actively make) happen?

Interesting comment from Reddit re MConnels latest statement:

You misunderstand McConnell’s grand plan. He’s using the courts he tricked Trump into assembling to fuck him at every turn (election results, his tax returns, now J6) while supporting traditional conservative principles (minor wins for religious rights, campaign finance, likely wins for guns and abortion in Corlett and Dobbs coming out this summer). And while the courts destroy him piece by piece, the J6 committee led by two McConnell Republicans exposes the real dirt behind him and leaves him with his pants down for the Federalist Society graduate DOJ to come and collect. That’s why he didn’t convict at the impeachment trial but warned that Trump was responsible for everything and justice would come. He knew what he was doing, just didn’t want his caucus to get their hands dirty so as to lose support from the base.

r232, is it also possible that McConnell, from backchannels and leaks, knows whatever damning info against Trump the DOJ or New York has?

Could that be part of why he's now got the balls to publicly twist the knife into Trump?

R233 Yes

The Fulton County, Georgia Grand Jury pertaining to Trump's election interference, begins its formal work starting May 2nd. Unlike the appearance of foot dragging in NY and the DoJ, County AG Fani Willis has established a timetable. It could be a hot summer for Donald. Lindsey Graham does not seem to be in the clear on this either.

But I'm too pretty to go to jail!

Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Lindz, tried to interfere, this implies.

[quote]Willis' sprawling probe has focused on not only Trump's actions related to Georgia but also the activities of his allies, including former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

[quote]In two generations, the Kushner family went from escaping from Nazis to doing business with the Nazi bank of choice, from endowing Jewish causes to allying with anti-Semitic white nationalists, and from surviving the Holocaust to authorizing a Blue State Genocide. This is the real Jared Kushner.

Also of interest, in this report, Greg Olear comes this 👌 close to simply outing Jared Kushner.

^That article is a FANTASTIC summation of Jared Kushner's crocked dealings in the White House.

^

The son was tall and quiet, like his mother. He was intellectually lazy and not particularly smart, but was always convinced he knew better than anyone else, despite ample evidence to the contrary.

He got ho-hum grades in high school. His SAT tests were subpar. He applied to Harvard, but was only accepted after his father donated millions to the school.

^

He married the daughter of an infamous New York personality, a loutish gossip column fixture who was a money launderer for the Russian mob. The family did not approve of her because she was not Jewish. To appease them, she converted—although she kept her last name, just as his grandmother had. He and his wife became a power couple, power brokers in the most powerful city in the world. That seemed to be the point of the marriage. Certainly there was no discernible passion on the part of either party, and plenty of lurid rumors. The wife would later describe their first date as “the best deal we ever made.”

^

He and his wife made over half a billion dollars while working at the White House. That doesn’t count future earnings on connections forged and promises made during his time there—especially during the pandemic, when a lot of federal money went missing. He is now hitting up investors for his new investment capital concern. So far, he’s amassed some $3 billion. How much of this is payment for services rendered? How much of it is blood money?

Why has he not been charged for his many crimes? Who is protecting him, and for what purpose?

How does he live with himself? How does he sleep at night?

In two generations, the family went from escaping from Nazis to doing business with the Nazi bank of choice, from endowing Jewish causes to allying with anti-Semitic white nationalists, and from surviving the Holocaust to authorizing a Blue State Genocide.

This is the real Jared Kushner.

For shame.

Pence, MCConnell & other Republicans Break from Trump: Kevin McCarthy Scurries Away from Reporters

[quote]"Florida Women’s Group introduced herself as “the proud parent of a non-binary teenager.” She cited the high suicide rate among LGBTQ kids. She also noted that she had been to the legislature on other days to speak out against anti-abortion measures. “And now for this seems like you guys care that it’s born and it has a heartbeat, but God forbid it should turn out to be a lesbian or a gay or a trans or a member of that community,” she said. “You don’t care about their heartbeat then, do you?” A student from Leon County stepped up and said the bill made LGBTQ seem like “a curse word.” “When kids are young, when they aren't allowed to talk about it, it seems like it won't be accepted,” she said. “If you make it seem like it's a curse word, it seems like it isn't accepted. That'll make bullying come even more." She described a disastrous chain reaction.

“You need to be able to trust your teachers to get a good education, because when you can’t trust your teachers, you can’t learn,” she said. “And that’s when the grades start dropping. That’s when the suicide rates go up.”

I was watching our local news here in Houston (which seems to be subtly getting more conservative) and went to some correspondent in DC (Brie Jackson, not really affiliated with the station) who framed rising crime on, and I quote, “National calls to defund the police.” WHAT?

"While President Trump was in office, staff in the White House residence periodically discovered wads of printed paper clogging a toilet — and believed the president had flushed pieces of paper."

But her emails!

By "staff" I'm assuming she doesn't mean Trump's aides, but the people who make up the permanent, full-time housekeeping and maintenance White House staff.

Of all the disgusting, crooked, evil, dangerous, stupid things that POS, lower than a snake's instep, hell, lower than the Mariana Trench Trump has done, and is, this puts him in the class among the Worst Human Beings Ever.

It's telling of the owner of trash hotels, golf courses, his own homes, of Trump's disgust and contempt for real workers. Not only did they have to clean the WH toilet seats after he desecrated them with his bodily waste, but he created even MORE work for them by clogging them with flushed documents.

When, oh when, is this gelatinous, offensive mound of human effluvia going to topple over dead from a heart attack or massive stroke?

When it becomes certain DJT has no political future and is facing firm prosecution; and Junior Mint is not employable for anything else beyond his grifter role with dad, I would expect Kimberly Guilfoyle will flee Junior and that family on a fast track.

Trump's Document Destruction & Mishandling of Classified Materials: When Will DOJ Finally Act?

Is Merrick Garland, by not acting on anything, except for a Steve Bannon subpoena under pressure, the main person getting in the way of saving democracy?

Is he afraid and intimidated? Profoundly lazy? An unrevealed Trump loyalist trying to run out the clock? Or is it incompetence?

Something is very bizarre about DoJ not moving on any of this.

Now to the toilet.

R315 DOJ is filled with pro-Low T loyalists. It isn’t Garland.

FCI at r317, I get that it's the DOJ front-line lower-level attorneys and, for that matter, the lower level FBI agents that any investigation has to rely on, and that among them are Trumpers. Some Trumpers are probably in the upper ranks, too.

When I say "so fucking what" it's not at you, it's at Garland.

He needs to remind all attorneys with the DOJ, in no uncertain terms, that he stood behind a podium and told Americans:

[quote] The central norm is that, in our criminal investigations, there cannot be different rules depending on one’s political party or affiliation. There cannot be different rules for friends and foes. And there cannot be different rules for the powerful and the powerless.

And then discipline or warn any attorneys that are foot-dragging that he won't put up with it.

Sheesh, I've been patient. I've hoped Garland is one of those outwardly nebbish types but inwardly they're made of thin, don't-fuck-with-me steel.

But C'mon, Garland. We've all seen with our own eyes what was retrieved from Mar-a-Lago.

[quote]Trump's Document Destruction & Mishandling of Classified Materials: When Will DOJ Finally Act?

This is a rhetorical question, yes?

Ginny (not Clarence's insurrection enabling spouse) from billing, could have written-up indictments for a host of Trump-related characters months ago, and she isn't even a paralegal.

Here's MSNBC conveying Garland has been given an opening. Bullcrap, Garland has had more than a year of openings. The media needs to scrutinize DoJ as why they are not moving on a mountain of evidence.

I am tired of talking heads on TV expressing endless dismay over DJT scandals for ratings, and then nothing happens in the judiciary system.

[quote]Garland has been given an opening

Pics please.

Relatively speaking...

As the late Albert Ellis once said, "should is shit". So is "could". Saying they "can't", really means they "won't".

Could face consequences? That is empty and speculative.

Who with authority is saying WILL face consequences and delivers on it?

Trump escapes everything. Always has.

Face it...

Garland is either a). A pussy or b). Corrupt scumbag

Personally I believe it is a lil bit of both.

New York state had decades to hold Trump accountable and never did. Why?

I blame "liberal" New York for thus mess. They knew exactly who and what Trump was, and fir whatever reason everyone looked the other way. Trump was vulnerable so many times, he could've very easily been taken down long ago. But now that he's a former president and political figure it's all going to look like politics and then there's his cult.

New York state and NYC fucked up big time. Trump should've been clipped long ago.

So much so that we were scared, legitimately scared to take sensitive, classified information into the Oval Office and tell the president of the United States about it."

I know Rubio is especially bad about not actually showing up, but it seems like a large amount of the GOP's main priority is to get on rightwing media and spend their day tweeting and retweeting things that they think will own the libs. Legislating seems to be pretty far down on their priority list.

[quote]Trump Attacks The Media For Not Caring About His Hillary Clinton Story

That's because there's no there there.

DJT has lost weight in this pic.

Don’t be surprised when another attempted coup is business coordinating to destroy a Democratic president’s economy. It’s so, so odd all these companies have record profits yet we have record inflation. Hmmmm. Billionaires seem to be plotting to be in the same league as Russian oligarchs. Then there is just good ol greed which is worse than ever it seems.

I don’t know, r426. I don’t see businesses coming together to destroy the economy. All they care about is one thing—making money. However, I do see their actions—caring only about money and getting richer—as being a detriment to our democracy.

R427, look at the timing. The price-gouging didn't start until Biden took over. Before then, even with the supply chain disruptions due to Covid, the prices didn't skyrocket like supply and demand would predict. This is purposeful.

Since the jury also found against Sarah Palin, that will stop her appeals based on the judge having dismissed the claim ahead of time. The appellate courts will rule that she lost the case with the jury, and that therefore the issue of "malice" as a precondition for libel against a public figure is not something an appellate court needs to consider, and they will dismiss her appeals out of hand. Appellate courts' job is to take the simplest approach to reaching a decision and not weighing in on issues that are not directly in controversy. Palin lost big on this one.

Well, r424, a ruse is a ruse is a ruse is a ruse…

^Clev.

In fact, even James Joyce would be proud of you, R430.

Agree with R430 (true DL cleverness and sophistication) and R427.

Current inflation is both circumstantial and encouraged on the part of certain of TPTB. During peak Covid the upper half could WFH and the wealthier could ride on their investments.

Supply chain backups meant there was less everyday economic activity (fewer semiconductors; meatpacking plants only working part time, restaurants closed, etc.) - people cocooned; and due to Fed ‘s zero interest rates those with money pooled it and searched for investment bargains.

Now economic activity is returning. Measured as a percentage against a previously slower economy the increased [italic] percentage[/italic] of activity = inflation. Restaurants are trying to recover what they lost and cover new, (deservedly higher) wages = inflated restaurant prices. Now that people have a reason to leave their homes more need to replace older cars, for example (but there are still no semiconductors) = inflation. AND rapacious, wealthy investment pools are buying real estate out from under middle class families to convert into higher cost rentals; rising rents being a major factor in government’s calculation of inflation.

Horrible timing for the Administration

There was a long inflation period beginning during the Nixon administration, through Ford, Carter, and well into Reagan. While Carter was blamed, it was Carter who appointed Paul Volcker in 1979 as Chairman of the Federal Reserve who ultimately got inflation under control. He served two terms including continuing into the Reagan administration.

In the late 70s and the 80s, the Vietnam War bills became due.

Eric is the dumbest Trump

Republicans don't really care about inflation

Yeah what are they proposing to bring it down^^

[quote] Schumer on the floor criticizing Tom Cotton for holding up votes on eight of Biden's U.S. attorney nominees. Says it was nearly half a century ago - 1975 - the last time Senate held a roll-call vote on a US attorney nominee (usually they're approved by voice or unanimous consent)

[quote] Cotton, on the floor, says he’s holding up the votes because he wants information about why four US Marshalls who defended the Portland courthouse in 2020 have been denied representation by DOJ in lawsuits. Says he won’t “roll over” and allow them to be “hung out to dry”

Republicans are all over Twitter with attacks on Biden and Democrats, spreading propaganda and truth distortions, showing themselves on Fox News excerpts, but failing to show for Capitol Hill work and committee voting. That is no coincidence. It is a strategy to deflect from the 1/06 investigation and ongoing revelations about Trump's irresponsible and illegal activities. The mainstream media needs to expose this widely, and confront these GQP politicians with tough questions. They won't do so sufficiently.

Miss Marsha has been tweeting much of the day. But she has little time to do work.

[quote] Rand Paul’s son charged with assault

[quote] The 19-year-old son of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was charged with assaulting a flight attendant in addition to the previously reported underage drinking and disorderly conduct charges he faces following an incident on a Jan. 5 flight from Lexington, Ky. to Charlotte.

[quote] The Charlotte Observer reported on the additional charge, "a misdemeanor assault on a female by aggressive physical force." It was not clear why the assault charge wasn't disclosed in the initial reports.

[quote] Police said William Paul may have been served alcohol on the U.S. Airways flight. In a statement last week, Sen. Paul's office asked for privacy on the matter.

The Hill -- Today

[quote] Eight Republican senators are urging the Justice Department to reject a request to create a "no fly" list for unruly passengers, saying it "would seemingly equate them to terrorists."

[quote] In a letter dated Monday and addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland, the senators pointed to data from the Federal Aviation Administration that found most violations are related to a refusal to wear a face mask as required by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and said there was "significant uncertainty around the efficacy of this mandate."

[quote] "Creating a federal 'no-fly' list for unruly passengers who are skeptical of this mandate would seemingly equate them to terrorists who seek to actively take the lives of Americans and perpetrate attacks on the homeland," the senators wrote. "The TSA was created in the wake of 9/11 to protect Americans from future horrific attacks, not to regulate human behavior onboard flights."

[...]

[quote] The Republicans who signed the letter include Sens. Cynthia Lummis (Wyo.), Mike Lee (Utah), James Lankford (Okla.), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Kevin Cramer (N.D.), Ted Cruz (Texas), John Hoeven (N.D.) and Rick Scott (Fla.).

[quote] The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear a request from New York City teachers to block a vaccine mandate over religious objections, despite Justice Sonia Sotomayor initially denying the request just last week.

[quote] An application for the teachers' request was submitted to Sotomayor last week, which she rejected. Sotomayor oversees cases in the 2nd Circuit and had previously rejected a similar request in October.

[quote] However, the plaintiffs submitted a second request to Justice Neil Gorsuch, who referred it to the court for consideration. While Supreme Court rules allow for renewed requests to other justices after they have been rejected, the application is considered "not favored."

[quote]The long-serving Republican congressman from East Texas has suggested altering the moon’s orbit as a way to combat climate change.

Merrick doesn't want to upset Trump and the criminal gang? At least say you're investigating. If not, state you have no intention to do so.

[quote]On Jan. 5, marking the one-year anniversary of Jan. 6, Attorney General Merrick Garland promised that, "following the facts," the Justice Department would pursue anyone, no matter how powerful, responsible for planning and carrying out the assault on the U.S. Capitol. "The Justice Department remains committed to holding all January 6 perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law - whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy." One month later, it's fair to ask: "General, what are you waiting for? Why hasn't Donald Trump yet been charged with any crime? How much more evidence do you need?"

A nice outline of Shitler's *known* financial chicanery over the past few years; in sum, he comes across as nothing more or less than a CONMAN; he's been braying about Mazars' claims re his funny-money financial statements and his loud mouth is going to get him right where the AG wants him, in a deposition for some sworn testimony:

Dobbs, Hannity, Carlson, Pirro, Watters, Ingraham, and near all the other Fox "performers", are there under the auspices and compensations by Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch. Reacting to individual commentators on Fox gets them social media hits and widdens their exposure. Being "shocking" fuels their fans.

[bold] Wisconsin Republicans seek to jail more officials as part of their review of the 2020 presidential election

[quote] MADISON – Assembly Republicans sought Friday to jail the chairwoman of the state Elections Commission, Racine’s mayor and other officials as part of their months-long review of the 2020 presidential election.

[quote] The court filing marked the latest shift in approach for Michael Gableman, a former state Supreme Court justice who is leading the review for the Republicans. Three days ago, he abandoned far-reaching subpoenas he issued in January to the immigrant rights group Voces de la Frontera Action.

[quote] A month ago an attorney working with Gableman told a judge he was hoping to avoid trying to jail the mayors of Madison and Green Bay.

[quote] But on Friday Gableman intensified his efforts, telling Waukesha County Circuit Judge Ralph Ramirez he should incarcerate those mayors and others if they don’t sit for interviews with him behind closed doors.

[quote] The officials have said they are willing to talk to Gableman but don’t believe he should be able to do so out of the view of the public. They argue the interviews should be conducted before a legislative committee.
