Treason Thread #61: A Dump for All Treasons

Previous thread below.

Will Trump be asked about E. Jean at his Town Hall?

I love the thread title, by the way

I have not tuned into these threads for a while - considering current happenings, I will keep a closer eye.

Thankya r3!

Is anyone hate-watching the town hall? I refuse to watch CNN anymore. Dump should be in prison, not the center of a town hall.

He attacked E. Jean Carroll. I hope she sues him for defamation AGAIN

Trump said he never met her, didn't know her, then said he met her outside Bergordorf's and went into Bloomingdales.

Trump lies all the time, everywhere all at once. His people can believe anything they WANT to believe.

He pulled out a fantasy timeline for what he did during the missing three hours on J6. Then shoved it back in his jacket. Just a bunch of new lies.

Now Stephanie Grisham says she had to make sure female staffers weren't alone with Trump because she was afraid he'd harass or assault them

R9 And it took 1/6 for her to grow a conscience.

Just read that Chris Licht was the executive producer of the Colbert show before he set about FUX-ifying CNN. What happened to him?

Hey, r10/FCI.

Just based on the clips I've seen I'm guessing the Town Hall was a trainwreck

^He looks like some frail, senile old coot who wondered away from the nursing home and has no idea where he is or what's going on.

The 2-hr. town hall prep session DJT had with LadyG doesn’t seem to have worked very well.

Fani, your move. Now is the time to file those indictments.

In Texas, some people want to hang the 10 commandments in every classroom.

[quote]Trump lies all the time, everywhere all at once. His people can believe anything they WANT to believe.

And I think most of them are Trump fans. But the commandments against bearing false witness and committing adultery do not give them pause.

r16, I hope she adds the lawyer to the indictments...

Members of the U.S. Senate need to actually help fix problems such as the decades-long issues at the border. Miss Lindz running her mouth on Fox daily and name-calling, is not a solution for a damn thing.

Baghdad Majorkas? LG can be nasty in multiple ways.

The Biden administration has a huge problem with growing undocumented migration. It is disturbing. But where is the Republican proposed legislation/funding to directly address it? There’s nothing offered on this front from Kevin McCarthy or Mitch McConnell or anyone in their caucuses.

Undocumented immigration is actually going down. And it went up when Trump was president

JFC does it really take THREE YEARS to indict this muthafucka sociopath for Jan 6?

R12 Hey Doris! (I hope we aren’t admonished for this again). :)

Republicans don’t want to and will never fix the immigration system. Ever. Their donors hire them for cheap labor and they can use it every single election as a wedge issue. They had two years of total control under Trump, not to mention the time under W, yet did absolutely nothing. Bipartisan immigration reform went down in defeat because of the radical righties in Congress. All Democrats want to do is treat them humanely since it is Big Business luring them over for their cheap labor.

Weekend at Bernie’s

Sounds capitalistic

I don't remember him saying it was bad to write a book that sells well.

$170K in royalties is peanuts in political publishing. Didn't' Hillz and Billz each get multiple millions and big advances?

Hillz and Billz don’t rail against this kind of thing.

I don’t have an issue with this. Bernie pays a ton of lip service to good policies, but has little real accomplishments. That should be a huge issue.

Can he help it if no one likes him, r32/FCI?

R33 He needs to get things accomplished but it won’t be “pure” so he can’t sully his reputation and be labeled another corporate shill.

Rafael & Lindzebelle

R34, he seems fine being the gun industry's shill. Wouldn't want those poor manufacturers to be able to be sued, no would we, Bernie?

[quote]I don’t have an issue with this. Bernie pays a ton of lip service to good policies, but has little real accomplishments. That should be a huge issue.

Has he finally done anything beyond the post office naming? That's all he had over the last two election cycles. Never forget, Bernbros are responsible for Trump as much as the Trumptards.

Btw- my health insurance has now started to ask my sexual preference and pronouns. What could go wrong?

That $170,000 will come in handy as Jane Sanders may want to upgrade the RV, as the Sanders may go on camping vacations with Clarence & Ginni at Walmart parking lots.

I hate the term sexual "preference." I am a gay guy, and the ONLY option is another guy. No preference is involved.

^ yeah

I couldn't fuck a pussy if my life depended on it.

R39 R40. You’d turn down hot pussy? Geez fellas, at least give it a try!

R39 here.

I suppose the only element of preference might be a gay guy, a bisexual guy, or a straight guy.

But there is a common theme here - a penised-person as Nan Michiganwomyn would say!

Nan is just jealous, that's all.

Good lord, this Giuliani crap...ew...

Three South Carolina districts were allegedly racially gerrymandered.

Case goes to U.S. Supreme Court.

Did anyone else see E. Jean Carroll and Roberta Kaplan on Rachel Maddow last night? Those ladies are mighty impressive, but darn if I wasn’t having the same Freudian slip as Rachel.

That poor intern who got bashed by a baseball bat on her first day. Yikes!

As a former intern, I know how scary it is when you see the pure insanity from constituents. Only the most angry, insane people call or write consistently and we get to see, and respond to, that. At my congressman’s office, we had a whole file cabinet dedicated to one constituent. He wrong that much. All of his writings were the most insane things you could imagine. We had a picture of one constituent hanging up with instructions to call 911 if he showed up.

^wrote that much 😂

Giuliani and Trump made quite a pair. Is $2 million really the best they could do? If you're going to do something wrong, do it right.

[bold]Giuliani accused of offering to sell Trump pardons for $2 million each in new lawsuit[/bold]

. . .

[quote]But after she was hired, Dunphy alleged, Giuliani kept her employment “secret” and paid her only about $12,000 and reimbursed some of her business expenses, owing her $1,988,000 in unpaid wages. She said she was fired in January 2021.

Jeez, Giuliani might actually be stupid enough to stiff someone who had the goods on him and Trump.

Hey! Business hasn't been good lately! Not sure why, but the attorney jobs have dried up these last two years! So, sue me! (Oh, wait!)

R49, they're two wild and crazy guys!

I'm concerned!!

I feel the house of cards is started to finally crumble.

r53/FCI - Yep. Here's Mr. Kirschner's take on the pardon$. He mentions Mr. Kushner...

^is starting

I shouldn’t post while stopped at red lights.

R54 Thanks, Doris!

That also explains why none of those clowns who preemptively asked for them (Gaetz, MTG, etc) got them - broke ass bitches!

MAGA hates all trans people. Including Caitlin.

We all hate Caitlin. Can we all unite over this? Biden, this could be what finally brings up together!

Shitler's main attorney involved in the stolen secret documents fiasco has told Donny, "Auf wiedersehen!!" Interesting, to say the least:

Adieu...to yieu and yieu and yieu.

Would prosecutors be allowed to subpoena the documents, etc., in the Giuliani civil case for a potential criminal prosecution?

^The documents should be easily accessible to anyone, yes. Nowadays discovery docs are often not included in part of the court's case file because they are too cumbersome (too much extraneous paperwork for the court clerks to keep track of), so the parties typically just exchange the evidence between themselves without involving the court (unless disputes arise, which happens a lot). But yes, an authorized investigative authority could have a subpoena issued to examine them. Simple.

R54, it was either here or the dead bird where someone had posted about the pardons that Marge Theee Toes and Rapey McForehead asked for.

Allegedly, orange made them WRITE DOWN why they wanted pardons. What crimes they had committed. In writing.

They don’t have pardons but orange has their signed confessions. Also, he cannot pardon co-conspirators.

^ That would be delicious if there was written evidence

Oh, Mr Smith...

The most beloved Senator:

It's becoming complicated: all the King's men are now all suing each other (the Ga. fake 'electors' vs. Rudy Giuliani now), apparently, and even the lawyers are getting caught in the crosshairs. God help us...

^Muriel needs to cut the childish crap about blocking any comments on stories linked from The Daily Mail. It's moronic.

Muriel would like you to know that once you come up with an acceptable cash-only offer to purchase the Datalounge you can cut whatever crap you would like, regardless of its age.

Until that moment you can feel free to shut the fuck up.

Not defending the DM, which is trash, but wondering what Muriel would consider an acceptable cash only offer.

Now you're talking ElderLez!

Because the MAGA faithful view criminality in Trump World as a means to a sought end that is unchallenged personality cult authoritarianism; doesn’t mean Merrick Garland needs to sit on his skinny rump and continue to avoid investigating and prosecuting the white collar leaders and operatives of this seditious contingent.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is spreading conspiracies about Seth Rich *sigh*

I wish I could say I was shocked, R100.

Get better Dianne, so you can hangout with some of the other gals.

OMG - I can actually post???? (I haven't been able to for weeks!)

Can someone please explain to me...... Tim Scott? Republican, black, 54 years old, never married (!!).....what he lacks in backbone he makes up for in overbite.

Does this guy stand for anything?

His answer to the question Would you sign a natiomal abortion ban, was classic tapdancing. You could hear the ball-step-chain.

Or even the step ball change.

Tim Scott is gay. The media would be all over him being his age, never married if he were a woman or Democrat. The media’s bias towards Democrats is thorough and deeply damaging. When I interned, everyone joked about it even the Republican interns/pages/aides. They all saw the media bias in favor of Republicans. What muddies the waters a bit is the media is socially liberal so for cultural conservatives it is liberal. However, it is fiscally conservative (extremely pro-business, pro-tax cuts for the rich) and its overall coverage pushes Republican narratives.

R105,thank you.

FCI, that’s precisely why I fear that if the debt ceiling drama ends badly, the media will blame Biden and then the people, being the usual sheep they are, will fall right in line and do so also, despite the fact it couldn’t be more obvious that this entire mess is due to the Rethugs trying to destroy our economy just for political gain. It’s all so disgusting.

Tim Scott is an empty suit when it comes to working for South Carolina. He has mastered some verbal platitudes that attempts to imply he’s both reasonable and acceptably conservative. If he is very unlikely elected President, it may be a disaster. His leadership capability for handling the role lacks clarity. He’ll follow the “tool” mantra unwaveringly. One can’t do that 100% of the time as President.

"I want to speak to the manager!"

^Fear Merrick will serve them champagne & caviar.

Refuse the request.

Lawrence: What if Joe Biden is doing everything right in the debt ceiling negotiations?

Tim Scott is turtle’s man.

Listen. Turtle knows fat Donnie is going down hard. He hates Fat Donnie. He also knows that Meatball Ron is a fucking creepy weirdo who won’t make it past Iowa.

No rethug will vote for Nimrod and nobody knows who the fuck (or what gender) Asa is ( and you know how the thugs are hung up on gender!)

Tim Scott is the “reasonable alternative” in turtle’s mind. A black man so the rethugs can say they aren’t racist pukes. Someone who wasn’t in the dump admin. Someone who seems “normal” compared to everyone else.

From what I understand, Scott is well liked by other Senators. He’s bland, uncontroversial and pretty unknown. Ready to step in when the two sumo wrestlers off each other.

Or, that’s what turtle thinks.

Accept the invitation, it is pro forma before an indictment.

Smith and Garland attend.

Tim Scott was promoted by Republicans because he is gay and controllable.

Can't wait for his closet door to be ripped off its hinges.

R114, I'm not gay, just waiting for Mrs. Right to come along. I'm the straightest dude in the Senate, after manliness expert Josh Hawley

Oh hun, crying out "Oh sweet Jesus! Oh God! Jesus Christ!" during prison anal does not a Christian make.

Perhaps not r127, but it can make for a hot video.

Prosecutors in former President Donald Trump's Manhattan criminal case have released to his attorneys a recording of Trump and a witness, whose identity was not disclosed.

The document, called an automatic discovery form, describes the nature of the charges against a defendant and a broad overview of the evidence that prosecutors will present at Trump's preliminary hearing or at trial.

The document lists the dates of 34 instances between Feb. 14, 2017 and Dec. 5, 2017 when Trump allegedly falsified records.

Fucker. That is all.

People magazine. Trump's treason is reported in People magazine. That's what our nation has come to.

[bold]Donald Trump Sometimes Showed Classified Docs to Mar-a-Lago Visitors, According to Witnesses[/bold]

Witnesses are telling prosecutors that Donald Trump had a habit of showing classified documents to visitors at his private Mar-a-Lago club, according to a new Washington Post report.

Sources tell the outlet that the former president — who is currently running for the office again — has been accused by witnesses of keeping classified documents in an area of his office where they were visible, at times showing them to people who visited him.

The report comes as Trump, 76, is mired in an ongoing criminal investigation by the Department of Justice into whether he violated statutes related to national security by allegedly mishandling classified documents he allegedly removed from the White House at the end of his presidency.

My goodness, Junior.

[quote] Trump Jr. paused for a moment after the mixup but continued on, later claiming DeSantis is a flip-flopper who continues to dodge questions about his stance on Ukraine. Don Jr. also ripped DeSantis for his “nasal and effeminate voice,” claiming “it was that bad.”

If Junior said such about Miss Lindsey, dad would slap him, and remind Junior he is worthless for the 10,000th time.

That said, the bossy bottom, Miss Ronda, does have a nasal and effeminate voice.

In the words of that great and eminent sage, Rick James,

"Nasal and effeminate voice"....Is Junior posting on the datalounge?

R136 that was a Freudian slip for sure.

Some high profile MAGAs, including politicians, at least read DL; some post anonymous of course.

R140, that's a lie! I'm MAGA and I most definitely do not cruise the DL for dick pics

^ Forgot about that. Has the Schlapp story just been forgotten?

I would never search through DL threads to find pictures of naked twinks

Too bad Vladimir, Miss Lindsey will defy your warrant. You ain’t tossing her from a window. Your goons won’t get past Sheriff Herschel and his deputies. Anyway, she has an upcoming date in Georgia, USA; not the Georgia next to you.

Don’t mess with Miss Lindsey, silly ass Vladimir. You ain’t getting any of that.

Russia, you'll never take our precious Lindzebelle! If you even try she'll shoot you like Scarlett O'Hara shot that Yankee!

If Pootie has an in with Miss Lindz' inner circle, he could pull a Navalny, and poison her crinolines.

Lindsey is a favorite of defense contractors and the military establishment.. He is very supportive of giving Ukraine the weapons they need to battle the ongoing sinister aggression from Putin.

What is odd, is that Lindsey continues to be a very major Trump supporter, including championing Trump’s 2024 election campaign. Trump functions as a Putin asset and sycophant, while siding against Ukraine’s interests.

Does Lindsey intend to explain this?.

He looks reptilian.

Trump looks like what he is. A fat, aging, stressed wastrel. His mental state which is not normal to begin with, he is likely decompensating under the pressure of impending court charges. The Trump you see at rallies and interviews is sprayed, painted, wearing lifts and hopped up on stimulants. I love seeing him as in that video.

CNN [bold]EXCLUSIVE: Trump captured on tape talking about classified document he kept after leaving the White House[/bold]

Federal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting in which former President Donald Trump acknowledges he held onto a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran, multiple sources told CNN, undercutting his argument that he declassified everything.

The recording indicates Trump understood he retained classified material after leaving the White House, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation. On the recording, Trump’s comments suggest he would like to share the information but he’s aware of limitations on his ability post-presidency to declassify records, two of the sources said.

R154, that’s damning on so many levels. He took a classified document that would have compromised a U.S. military operation.

Since Republicans want to return to the 1950s....Will they demand that Trump should be treated the way that the Rosenbergs were treated?

Don't you wonder if he's beginning to seriously squirm underneath all the shit that has come to light?

He should defect to Russia and make Tara Reade his 4th wife

And then there is that R164....

R64 Absolutely not! 4th wife has been promised to me!

^uh, r164

Aw, poor pigeon-headed whore...

I want Trump to feel the weight of his past, his present, but mostly his FUTURE. A future with all walls closing in tight.

I want him to feel terror. Terror over this game he has lost, as he desperately pretends to still be in control of his life. He is not.

I want him to obsess with fear that one of his lawyers or other insiders is a ratt and is selling him out.

I want him to have the need to constantly look over his shoulder to see if the gendarmes are moving in for the final kill.

I want him to trust NO one, to fear EVERYone, to suspect those that he counts on the most, to lead him into a trap that is impossible to slither out of and away from.

I want. Oh how I want.

R168, Trump has no concept of loyalty, only of fealty toward him. It just wouldn't occur to him to keep his mouth shut in public, then call her up, tease her a bit, let her apologize and strengthen their bond.

Casey DeSantis takes swipe at Melania Trump.

[quote] Casey DeSantis might be taking a fashion page from Melania Trump’s playbook, but that’s where the similarities end in their husbands’ campaigns for the Republican Party nomination. It’s being reported that the Florida first lady is hoping to be right by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ side throughout his run, which seems to be the complete opposite strategy of Melania these days.

Neither has said begone to the Devil.

I want to be a fly on the wall when Mr Smith says to Trump:

Mr Trump, we are not having this conversation about IF you are going to jail. We are having this discussion to determine if you are going to DIE in jail.

The whole of Trump's life has been egregious acts, courting publicity, and evading consequences. If and when he is hauled into court on charges brought by Jack Smith it may finally enter his reptile brain that he can't buy/lie his way out. He may actually flee. I would love it if he were deemed a flight risk and had to sit in custody.

^He could take flight to Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, or North Korea. Grabbing ‘em by the pussies in Russia will be OK but requires the money upfront. The pee pee girls got stiffed the last time. They know better now. Elsewhere, he’d run a big risk.

R187

The thing about Trump is that anything is possible with him. This is the man who used to call reporters and papers posing as John Barron, with the most outrageous claims about Trump. He uses paid "supporters" to fill the stands behind him at rallies. He had a stand in for Melania while POTUS so it looked like she was accompanying him on and off planes. I know that last sounds too fantastic, but I became convinced of it during the last year of his term. He is crazy enough to do anything.

Georgia GQP state convention regresses into insanity. Kari Lake as keynote speaker? Sidney Powell or Ginni Thomas wasn’t available?

At least MTG is from Georgia.

[quote] Others set to speak include U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler. Kemp and other state GOP leaders, meanwhile, have quickly distanced themselves from the state party and its tilt toward a brand of hard-line, pro-Trump conservative politics. On Wednesday, Kemp said he was using his political machine to safeguard GOP legislative districts — a role the state party once routinely played. Lake embodies the GOP’s push toward the right. A former news anchor, she has for months contested her November defeat even after her claims of misconduct were rejected in court. In last year’s midterm, she endorsed Perdue and other Trump-backed insurgents.

The thing about Trump keeping documents relating to a possible war with Iran is that it was not past tense. It was future tense. Clearly he intended to profit from it even though he was no longer POTUS. The plan of the Neo Cons, Dick Cheney's gang, as well as BeBe Netanyahu, was the invasion of Iran.

One of the reasons Cheney got Bush involved in invading Iraq was to subdue them and go into Lebanon to get to Iran. A war not limited to air and bombing. It would have to be a ground war. A mess. Bebe has done his damnedest to provoke such a war, especially by provoking Lebanon.

Which IMO begs the question of how much damage did he actually do while he was POTUS. We suspect, with very good reasons that he & JAred colluded with the Saudis. Gave up intel that got people killed in Saudi Arabia, and helped MBS to consolidate his power. And now we have MBS and Putin in bed with one another. They have gotten very close since Trump got elected.

What else? We know Trump would have sold out Zelensky and Ukraine and Zelensky knew it. Pulling out of Afghanistan happens to be the right thing to do, but Trump was engineering it for Putin. There's a lot of stuff he did to benefit Putin. If he could have he would have weakened or pulled out of NATO altogether.

Trump was Putin's errand boy and his money launderer. And Jared helped all of it happen. Bet Jared is singing like a bird for Mr. Smith.

People joke about Trump being a flight risk, but it's Jared and Ivanka who will very likely flee.

Oops! I lost a top secret document!

Holy SHIT

And here we go.

Yep.

It’s not complicated. Go with the obvious.

Will this be done at Junior’s and Kimberly’s wedding too?

Mark Meadows, allegedly, has been squealing to fed investigators for awhile now.

No doubt, Jack Smith has extensive and solid evidence.

Meadows knows espionage is a charge that will put him in federal prison, if not Gitmo, for LIFE.

He’s a pathetic weasel trying to save his own yellow belly by giving up (most) everything he knows. You can bet he keeps trying to hold stuff back but orange just keeps running his jibs and admitting to more crimes that Meadows was an accessory to.

I’d say his exposure to RICO charges are pretty clear while Mandriod and Entitlement Barbie are more exposed on the espionage front.

They ALL need to fry. Very publicly. A slap on the wrist or allowing them to flee will embolden others who hold the same fevered dreams of selling OUR SECRETS for personal profit.

R200, Meadows is pure slime and he is one of the most unreliable witnesses they could find. He lies and changes his stories and withholds information and backs out on agreements he makes, then changes his mind.. The only thing consistent about Meadows is his political agenda. He is one of the founding members of the Tea Party and and an avowed White Christian Nationalist. He has himself set up in some foundation in D.C. right now dedicated to get more MAGAs and insurrectionists elected. They're also buying up real estate in D.C. He should die in a grease fire. We dither around with such confidence in our "rule of Law" and our platitudes about how no one is above the law, but these people have a very clear agenda and they are making gains, small and large where ever they can. They are on a mission, make no mistake.

^ Love it! "Mandroid and Entitlement Barbie" !

I hope Meadows squeezes the Sedition Caucus in the House and Senate.

Bye-Bye Felicia Jordan and pals.

LOL! IN your dreams, R204. Meadows won't give up the ones we want.

I knew a year and 1/2 ago that Meadows would sing like a canary and posted it here.

What were the papers that Meadows would burn in the fireplace?

The foundation he's been working for is basically a MAGA/re-elect Trump scam, paid for party by Trump's campaign. Essentially he's still working for Trump and it's doubtful he would roll over on Trump publicly. Look for him to be fired soon and disparaged by Trump for these leaks.

I wonder where Perla is.

I forgot about Perla

I think most people have. There's things/people I haven't forgotten. I like to bring 'em up again every so often. I posted this more than a few times in the Mueller threads.

Whole buncha things to get to. The Repubs in Russia on July 4th...Ivanka and Wendi's whirlwind "vacation"...

Dumb Senator is an understatement.

MAGA & pro-insurrection Tuberville with his anti-abortion stunts, is fucking with the wrong people.

[quote] It's been far too long since we commended the voters of Alabama for trading Doug Jones for Tommy Tuberville as that state's senior United States senator. The courageous prosecutor who beat the Klan in court was deemed less qualified to represent his state's interests than a half-bright football coach with a 7-6 lifetime record in bowl games. Since senators have a direct effect on the entire country, I don't think a week should go by without all of our thanking Alabama for visiting this goober on the rest of us. Especially since the Toobs is having a rough couple of days.

Half Bright?

Tuberville is a good ol' boy ignoramus who would be very comfy at a lynching.

He was seen as an affable, popular, not very bright, good ol' boy, before he ran for the Senate, and now we are seeing what that really means in the South.

Face it.Americans are getting dumber. We are losing future generations thanks to GOP policies at the state level, so people like Tuberville will keep getting elected, and voters will keep getting manipulated into voting against their own interests. It's like the proverbial frogs in a pot of water on the stove.

Can Tubs name the three branches of government by now?

“ President Trump decides who those three people are”, is not the answer, Tommy.

You know, I am still mystified at how a bellicose, crude crass POS celebrity con artist swindler like Trump can command the loyalty and admiration of grown ups, and their acceptance of his leadership. Guys like Tuberville actually admire him. Our celebrity culture is disgusting. That's what paved the way for a Trump Presidency. Reagan was a celebrity, too, obviously, and a terrible person, but at least he was elected governor, before running for POTUS. Now all pretense of basic knowledge about government or politics is absent. It's as if people are running as a popularity contest.

R222 has it right

Reality tv has ruined this country. Popular entertainment now consists of watching real people behave badly. Social media has created a celebrity culture of influencers, psuedo celebrities, attention hungry fools. A large swath of this country gets its information from these sources, talk radio, etc. Education, experience, knowledge is no longer a prerequisite for candidates. The unapologetic ignorance of many candidates and elected officials is appalling. Expect more of same.

What r222 and r223 said.

Add in that what they have accurately described reinforces and soothes bigoted, racist, and homophobic attitudes and beliefs you get the societal toxic stew we’re all being cooked in.

I’m so glad I didn’t have children and that, barring sudden fatal illness and accident, I’ve got only a couple of more decades.

The “American Experiment “ has emitted some data - the USA is fucked.

These money hungry evangelical preachers are a huge problem. They rage on the stage and behind the pulpit spewing extreme right-wing views, even hate, and also stating their political and candidate preferences. They grossly distort Christian teachings. Some black congregations have been very political on the left, but nothing as absurd as what is seen on the far right.

Tax all the churches that are politically active. It won’t happen, though. At least cable TV needs to remove such from basic packages.

Church is fine for praying, Bible study, singing hymns, fellowship, hearing music, praising the Lord, hearing sermons about parables, other scripture messaging, and lessons for living.

Endorsing and fundraising for Trump, DeSantis, Pence, and the Republican Party are not. They inject their religious doctrine into abortion laws, LGBT+ discrimination, picking judges, anti- environmental policies, etc.

DL fave Jill Wine-Banks, commenting on the tape recording of Trump discussing classified material:

“This evidence just adds to the mound of stuff that already exists, and no one piece is the ‘be all and end all,’ but when you put them all together, the case is so strong. You cannot imagine his getting away with this.

“I’m wearing a toast pin today because I think he’s toast."

What an incredible coincidence:

An employee at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence drained the resort’s swimming pool last October and ended up flooding a room where computer servers containing surveillance video logs were kept, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

While it’s unclear if the room was intentionally flooded or if it happened by mistake, the incident occurred amid a series of events that federal prosecutors found suspicious.

Sounds like the documents indictment is coming this week.

Well, Dumpy seems to think it's imminent:

"CROOKED HILLARY DELETED 33,000 EMAILS, MANY CLASSIFIED, AND WASN'T EVEN CLOSE TO BEING CHARGED! ONLY TRUMP - THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!"

Putin, Saudi Arabia, etc. were given or sold copies of what they wanted. Orange Menace's relationship with Kim went beyond exchanging love letters. South Korea needs to be concerned too.

Whenever he starts ranting about Crooked Hillary you know something is up

lol

I wonder if there's any way to find out if he gave documents (either for money or quid pro quo) to Russia, N. Korea or elsewhere?

Re. the flooded surveillance computer system room, that wouldn't necessarily damage or destroy the hard drives. Data has ben recovered from drives damaged worse than this.

Yes, R234, but stable genius Donald Trump wouldn't know that.

[quote]stable genius Donald Trump wouldn't know that.

That would be in keeping with his stupidity. It appears that the systems themselves weren't damaged.

R233, there is no doubt in my mind he kept the info to sell it. And his defense will be that since he “owns” it, it was his right to sell. And the hard core MAGATs will back him up.

There must be charges coming.

Did Trump give all these wealthy dictators his private off shore bank account?

Robert Hanssen just died. The OG traitor

Rachel covered him tonight, r239. I only vaguely remember his being imprisoned but the story has a definite resonance with what's going on today.

Mar-a-Lago turned into an internatinal crime hub. Do club members and visitors still want to be seen there? For what? Catch a glimpse of Lady Lindzebelle sashaying across the terrace?

Did he die or was he killed?

I'm surprised Trump hasn't fled yet.

I hope that Mr. Smith requires that he file all flight plans with the FBI, just in case he decides to wander off.

There is no doubt in my mind that a series of indictments are coming—Georgia, the classified documents probe, Jan. 6, etc. this is why Repukes are entering the race. They think Dump will fall under these indictments.

Former President Donald Trump's former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows testified before a federal grand jury hearing evidence in the special counsel's investigations into former President Trump.

Sources tell ABC News that Meadows answered questions on both Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election and Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents.

It was not immediately clear exactly when Meadows testified.

I can’t find a thread but have you all seen the Jack Smith video???

😳😳😳

He looks thin. Based on the two or 3 pictures we’ve seen of him.

Yes, r247, he brings a new meaning to the word *gaunt*.

Plus super pale 🙁

Can you just imagine what’s on his shoulders right now??

[quote]Can you just imagine what’s on his shoulders right now??

The MAGA base are quite vocal in their calls for violence at tomorrow's arraignment. (tons of online chatter this weekend)

One hopes proper security will be in place, but since this we're talking about Florida who the fuck knows.

We look at the old farts who show up at Trump rallies but those aren't the only people out there and you know it. I was really disgusted by how effective the Extreme Right White supremacists have been in recruiting younger people. Yes we have Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Boogaloos, and random militias, whose leadership we went after. But there are others. There were easily several thousands of people in D.C. for the insurrection in January. I welcome this. I want to see just how many people are still out here that will respond to a call for violence, in June in Florida. My guess is they won't be well organized. But we can also add inciting violence to Trump's charges.

There’s the bathroom, full of boxes of classified documents, that can only be locked from the inside.

J. D. Vance attacks Jack Smith and all federal employees.

Jim Jordan is a bad buckeye.

Vance is a lying, phony piece of shit.

But I guess Thiel’s balls won’t lick themselves.

I assume Vance started using like his mother.

[quote]J. D. Vance attacks Jack Smith and all federal employees.

Tom Nichols goes after J.D. Vance:

Vance initially tried to position himself as a reasonable man from humble origins, someone who understood the angst of rural, Forgotten-Man America.

But when you’re getting millions of dollars in support from Peter Thiel, losing to someone as off the wall as (primary opponent) Josh Mandel isn’t noble—it’s just losing. And so Vance retooled both his approach and his personality. He pledged his sword to Donald Trump, who duly endorsed him and lifted him to a win in the primary. Vance then ran as the MAGA candidate, appearing onstage with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz and accepting their endorsements. This combination of pusillanimity and shamelessness, along with Trump’s support, helped Vance defeat the centrist Democrat Tim Ryan, and he headed back east to Washington.

Once in the Senate, Vance shed the MAGA clown costume and became a responsible center-right legislator, advancing the interests of the poor and forgotten in Ohio and … I’m kidding, of course. Vance did no such thing. What he once wore as electoral camouflage is now tattooed all over him, in yet another fulfillment of the late Kurt Vonnegut’s warning that, eventually, “we are what we pretend to be.”

Fuck J.D. Vance and fuck all the rentboys who are taking Peter Thiel's $$$$

Yet another sexual predator who was in Trump's orbit

Oops, should have posted this link in r340

I think it's common knowledge in certain circles that Trump used to have parties at his hotel or in the buildings where he had condos for sale. He would supply the girls from his "modeling agencies" (he had two agencies) and told the girls they had to "make friends" and party with these disgusting pigs because they were influential and it would help their careers. It is during one of those parties that he allegedly rapes a 13 yr. old himself. I hope the eventually expose his human trafficking side too. Because he was up to his neck with the Russian mob.

Rudy Giuliani is singing.

He met with Jack Smith last week.

Rudy wants to make a deal so he doesn't have to do time.

Rudy is so dirty he stinks. I remember when he was doing his "world tour" getting accolades from foreign leaders for his "leaderhip" on September 11th. Then all of a sudden he was in Ukraine making speeches and getting paid. His connections with mobsters (Russians) go deep and go back years. There was even a rumor that he nailed Gotti and the Italian mobsters to make way for the Russian mob. He was already their guy. when he was U.S. attorney.

I hope Rudy is indicted in Georgia

We'll know come August, r370.

About the Trump is a misogynist who creates an unsafe environment for women whilst lusting after his daughter. No news there. Trump's superpower is that he is all the horror a being might be in open. Those who support him either approve or don't care. I do wonder what soulless Jared thinks about Trump's daddylove. I imagine he weighs it against any benefits it confers upon he and Ivanka and moves on.

R372, I'm still shocked at the number of people who laugh and say, "Oh, he didn't mean it! He was putting you on..." And in some ways even the media never really took him seriously. He was entertaining. I remember for months all we heard was that soon he would "pivot" and act more presidential. He is a fucking monster. And if they had reported on him as a monster instead of a buffoon and an entertainer who said outrageous things, we'd be in a better place. He was accused of raping a 13 yr old. He was accused of sexual misconduct dozens of times. It was passed off. Not treated seriously. BEcause he was ratings gold for the TV networks.

[quote] I remember for months all we heard was that soon he would "pivot" and act more presidential.

I can only imagine how long it would take for a creature of his enormous bulkitude to pivot.

Rudy's in deep shit. He is trying to negotiate with Smith, but he was up to his eyeballs in the fake elector plot. In fact in Georgia, he may definitely be indicted because he is the one who started the rumors and accusations against the two women election workers in Fulton County, a mother and daughter, accusing them of fraud. He made their lives hell with death threats etc. I hope Fani Willis hands him his ass.

And I hope she wears gloves while doing so.

OK, either the Coens or Wes Anderson needs to make the movie. Seriously. When you think of Rudy's news conference at the Four Seasons landscaping place, and you realize it's across from a crematorium and next door to a porn store, and the hair dye dripping down his cheeks and he's drunk, it writes itself. Truthfully all of the characters are like characters out of a Batman comic.

Ghouliani is trying to save his own ass but it’s way too late for that shit.

He thought if he waited long enough, fat orange could get elected and then pardon his ass. But that ain’t happening. At any level.

Problem is, everyone ELSE has already spilled THEIR guts and given Jack and Fani all they need to nail the traitor(s). Nobody needs anything Ghouliani is selling. No one is remotely interested in his lies or half truths.

He’s simply not credible and the Feds/Fani don’t NEED him for anything. He’s screwed but too delusional to realize it

^^Oops, I can never remember which of the British rags doesn't play well with DL. From the article:

The Department of Justice is prepared to seek indictments against multiple figures in former president Donald Trump’s orbit and may yet bring additional charges against the ex-president in the coming weeks.

Prosecutors are now prepared to “stack” an “additional 30 to 45 charges” on top of the 37-count indictment brought against Mr Trump on 8 June.

I wanted all to like me. I tried hard for nearly two years to avoid all this.

If he wanted to avoid it, r383, he wouldn’t have assigned Jack Smith as prosecutor. But I will say he was hesitant to bring charges without a supposedly unbiased intermediary.

He took an oath to the Federalist Society, and he didn't want to break his oath. (That was a joke...sort of.) People please remember, that while Merrick Garland is the very image of rectitude and integrity, and judicial bearing, he was offered by Obama to McConnell BECAUSE he was no Liberal. In hindsight, I am very glad he is not on the Supreme Court. He would have been terrible.

Crowd at Trump rally in SC persistently and loudly boos Miss Lindzey:

[quote] Crowd boos Sen. Lindsey Graham at Trump rally in SC. The crowd booed US Senator Lindsey Graham and drowned out his remarks. Graham, from nearby Oconee County, said he was going to help Trump win the 2024 general election and even pointed out that he was part of the Senate Judiciary Committee that helped bolster the Supreme Court’s conservative sheen. Despite that, the crowd remained unmoved and the booing continued.

[quote] He was joined by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, Congressman Joe Wilson and Lt. Governor Pamela Evette, among others. Trump's SC leadership team: Gov. Henry McMaster, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, Lt. Governor Pamela Evette, Congressman Joe Wilson, Congressman Russel Fry, Congressman Will Timmons, former U.S. Attorney Pete McCoy Jr. and former Lt. Governor Andre Bauer.

[quote] Marjorie Taylor Greene appears at Pickens rally: Greene arrived a little after 10 a.m. to show her support for Trump. She walked towards the crowd close to the media zone and conversed with Trump’s supporters who drove from all over the country. Pickens, she said, reminded her of her own congressional district in the southern part of Georgia.

MTG’s congressional district is in northwest Georgia. Is she that dumb not to know the general geography of the State of Georgia?

Apparently, Trump also called Doug Doucey (former Arizona governor) and asked him to "find" the number of votes he needed to win, just like he did in GA

Sorry, it's "Ducey" not "Doucey"

No matter how you spell it, it is pronounced doosh - ee.

Does DeSantis want to monitor where Caitlyn pees whenever she visits Trump Tower? is this the biggest problem facing America? Is the Florida legislature and DeSantis planning on restricting Caitlyn's pee sites and watch her bathroom visits if she enters Florida?

Wow, you know DeSantis is repugnant when he makes people like Caitlin and George Santos look sympathetic

Be careful with Christie. He's another assertive emphatic highly opinionated guy who knows a lot less than he asserts, but is very convincing. He has the image of a straight shooter and he is far from it. He is underhanded, dishonest and self serving, has no problem contradicting himself. Chris Christie firmly convinced he is the smartest guy in the room. Always. He has an unshakable faith in his own rightness. He was a shit governor and a corrupt son of a bitch.

R431- Yes he is a ruthless Mafia thug and corrupt grifter. Never forget that he was by trump's side and helped get him elected. This is a personal vendetta for him. He is doing this for revenge against trump. He is as corrupt and amoral as the rest of the GOP. He is also a pathological liar.

Chris Christie shut down a bridge for political retaliation. He was Donald Trump before Donald Trump. He treated reporters like shit, calling them retards and morons. Give me a break.

[quote]He has an unshakable faith in his own rightness.

Show me a politician who doesn't. Or a DLer, for that matter.

I think Christie is a smarter politician than most current GOPers, but that's a very low bar. I don't think any Biden voters are going to be swayed by him.

[quote He is doing this for revenge against trump.

and Jared Kushner, who shut him out of the WH and any Executive branch job.

Gossip had it that Kushner threw a fit when Trump considered Christie for AG and any other big job.

Christie helped Trump get elected. Then when it was pay-back time for Trump to give Christie a plum job, Trump, being Trump, and wanting to side with his son-in-law, reneged on Christie.

It's right up Christie's large alley to savor having a hand in putting both Dad and son in jail, or at least insinuate that Jared Kushner's deals as a WH employee bear closer scrutiny.

And, I doubt Christie is intimidated by Kushner's money.

That's what I'm keeping my eye on and why he buttered popcorn is always at the ready.

the buttered popcorn^

Oh, I'm sure he's buttered a lot of popcorn in his time.

Jack Smith will do Jared before Christie ever does. De Santis is insane. We get that. But Christie is only a few notches above him in stability.

Farron's take on Christie...

When it is left to Clair McCaskill and MSNBC to come to Lindsey Graham’s defense against Donald Trump and his booing MAGAs from Lindsey’s home district; it’s way past due for Lindsey to abandon Trump and his campaign. No, he’ll double down on being a Trump sycophant.

Was Lindsey spending July 4th in Mar-a-Lago or Bedminster? That would be interesting to know.

What Graham should have been doing is crisscrossing South Carolina addressing public education, health care, migration issues, infrastructure, poverty, child care, the environment, etc. Of course, he won’t do that.

[quote]What Graham should have been doing is crisscrossing South Carolina addressing public education, health care, migration issues, infrastructure, poverty, child care, the environment, etc. Of course, he won’t do that.

No, he'll double down on defending Trump.

R441, yep.

Trump said Jack Smith looks like a crackhead and he's behind the cocaine in the WH.

Trump is projecting. Again.

It would not surprise me one bit to discover that someone set up Biden by planting the coke in the visitor's area.

These are the times we're living in, r445.

Someone I know left marijuana in a tree outside the holocaust memorial museum in DC upon encountering the screening to enter. I think it was just a tourist.

Manly man, Josh Hawley, on July 4th, tweeted a quote he attributed to Patrick Henry. The misattributed quote argues that America "was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians." However, it didn't come from Patrick Henry. It came from a segregationist newspaper in Virginia in 1956.

[quote] Josh Hawley is a man who needs no introduction, but the CliffsNotes, in case you’re not up on the senator from Missouri, are that he: Thinks he’s an expert on “manhood” and “masculinity” Helped spread Donald Trump’s 2020 election lies Pumped his fist in solidarity with the January 6 mob …and then fled that mob as fast as his legs could carry him Said he regretted nothing about his actions on the day the Capitol was attacked (which he claimed he has fundraised off of) Is pro-hate-crimes Joined the governor of Florida’s ridiculous war of retribution on Disney Doesn’t know how the First Amendment—or the free market? or capitalism?—works Oh, and he’s apparently also the kind of guy who uses fake quotes to make shit up about the United States’ founding to push religious propaganda. On an American holiday no less!

[quote] After a devastating mass shooting left five people dead in Philadelphia, misinformation about the suspected shooter ran rampant on Twitter with politicians like Georgia Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene claiming the assailant was transgender. “Another trans shooter,” Ms Greene tweeted on Tuesday with a link to an article from the right-wing website The Post Millennial.

MTG claims another mass shooter is transgender.

By eliminating transgenders, no mass shooters????

Possible, r449, but I think we should start by eliminating MTG first and see if that works.

Makes me wonder.

Prosecutors and government workers in the Trump documents case are getting threats from MAGA scum

Chris Christie says Trump probably kept the classified documents to pretend he's still president. That rings true to me. He's one twisted fuck.

I'm not buying any of the psychobabble about Trump. For years he seems to have benefited from being underestimated. Maybe he did like to pretend. But you know what? He knew he was going to lose the election. He knew he was under performing and the polling was looking bad way back in September. He is hardwired to monetize everything. He is a grifter in his bones. So he mounted a multi layered strategy to stay in the WH. That was his priority. A close second was to see how he could still make money. He raised millions with his ranting about election fraud. But those documents were his ticket to riches. I believe he was peddling Top Secret information and he was extorting money the entire time he was in office and he intended to continue after he left. Fuck psychology, the man is a fucking criminal and a traitor.

I think he was a Russian asset all along and he was worried that his money stream would get cut off once he left the White House so he took the documents with him to have something tosell. He wanted to remain relevant and important. To Russia, The Saudis, and anyone else he could sell to.,

MTG

What’s the other 18%?

Hugarian virgins, r458.

tRump had no interest in being President, it was all a money-making proposition.

Orson looks ready to do a Mr. Creosote there, but I'm glad he somehow managed to hang in for another 20 years.

[quote]tRump had no interest in being President, it was all a money-making proposition.

Don't forget he was hoping to get a vice-president that would do all the work and he could just be the face of the administration and do the *fun* stuff.

[quote]tRump had no interest in being President, it was all a money-making proposition.

But once he was in office, he found he loved all the attention and subservience.

He also loved the fact that he couldn't be prosecuted while in office

I believe the only reason this deranged, mentally ill, fat orange old asshole ran for president was because an intelligent, competent, physically and mentally fit BLACK man got to be president before he did. Obama and his family also knew how to "work the crowd". The Obamas were very popular, to the point of being beloved and (to someone as unstable and concerned about popularity as Dump) could have been seen as the American equivalent of a royal family. How DARE those [n-word] be smarter, more loved, and more popular than the Dump family!? You know that's what he thought. Then he was humiliated with whole birth certificate thing, but the racist assholes who already didn't like having a black president and loved him from his reality show thought a billionaire businessman would be the level-headed leader 'Muricah needed. We would ALL be rich just like him! And of course, he was white.

Miss Marsha is appalled that cocaine was found at the White House.

She'd properly address her as 'Mizzzzz Hahpahhhh.'

I get it. The Saudis funneling $$ to the fam. But WTF is the benefit to the Saudis? Are they doing this for Putin? MBS and Putin are buddies and Putin is a bit preoccupied right now. I have to believe there is a benefit even if it isn't direct. Vlad really likes Donnie.

R474, Saudi Arabia has big ambitions for itself. Controlling the whole Middle East would be a very nice gig. The Saudis, of course, are also linked with China.

The fucking Saudis also want to buy up US water rights out west and charge astronomical amounts for water.

Just like they’re buying up oil refineries in the Gulf of Mexico.

Fuck those backwater terrorists. They’ve NEVER been out “friends”.

*our

The Saudis may be friendly with China, but the closest relationship is between MBS and Putin. And Trump was their go between. Trump tried to get along with Xi, but he really didn't like him or feel comfortable with him the way he did with Putin. And the Saudi money made all things possible.

I've never seen Farron this angry...

O'Donnell was on fire talking about Trump's defense attorneys' strategy and "Judge" Cannon. They want an open ended delay, and anticipate a dismissal. All the reasons they cite are bullshit or out and out lies. So what's Cannon going to do? I say she allows the delay. And I have no idea what the defense can do about it. They want a trial in December. They asked for a speedy trial. Now, IMO Smith had to know this was their tactic. Trump is nothing if not obvious. So why did he open the door? Was this bait? WTF is going on. I pray Smith is all we hoped he'd be, but after what we went through with Mueller, I am very uneasy. Cannon should not be allowed to try this case. He appointed her dammit.

I threw up in my mouth...a lot.

You know this conspiracy is much bigger than Trump, right? Or the Jan 6th shitmess. If you have been paying attention, the Republicans were in collusion with a fucking spy to try to manufacture dirt on Hunter and Joe. Now the spy is in the wind, he's been exposed and the question is who in the GOP knew and why did they cooperate? And there's a lot more shit going on with foreign adversaries that we realize. Our government has never been more poreous. What had already begun on the sly for the past two decades, has been given steroids by Trump. So yeas he is a fucking traitor. Definitely. But he has a whole lot of company from the Republican Party and all these Ultra Right support groups like the Federalists.

Rumor has it Prigozhin has been treated for stomach cancer. Also quite a few Military and Intel types in Putin's gov't are being disappeared. Housecleaning.

Some retired U.S. Army general claims we'll never see Prigozhin again because he is dead.

^ It will leak out.

Thug ordering the murder of another thug deemed a threat.

I don't think Prigozhin is dead. He was popular with his army. And he has some public support, albeit misguided. I think "leaking" a rumor that he has stomach cancer is more plausible. This way, his people will expect him to die and get a funeral, etc. Putin keeps them happy while he slowly poisons Prigozhin to death. It's a Win, win.

Always grifting: Melania edition

Trump is trying desperately to derail the case against him in Georgia

R497, he won't. The GOP in Georgia is sharply...but not evenly... divided. As we all know politicians always play to their base. Raffensperger and Kemp are anti Trump. The Governor and the Secretary of State. They enjoy wide support from voters, both Republicans and independents. They're Conservatives. Big time. They seem moderate compared to the lunatics, but the Republican Party itself has been taken over by the thugs who support Trump. The Lt. Governor is an Election Denier and he supported January 6th. The Legislature is divided too. Both Kemp and the Secretary of state have had many opportunities to interfere with the 2020 election. They could really fuck with Fani Willis who is running for re-election. But they aren't. What Trump did not respect then, or now, is that hundreds of people maybe even thousands volunteered or worked temp jobs on the 2020 election, and the entire election machinery would have been disrupted if they had done what he wanted. They will not do him any favors and neither will Fani, or the state's judges.

"Tell Pelosi we are coming for that bitch!"

After all, isn't that why Trump sent them there- to get Nancy?

OHIO POLITICAL AD

I suppose there is nothing left for trump to do except fake a health issue. In 3,2,1...

As Trump's documents/espionage court date approaches, his posts show he has INSURRECTION on his mind

That's because the Insurrection can be linked to the Sedition. Both are conspiracies. It's the conspiracy charges he is sweating.

Donald J. Trump and his allies are planning a sweeping expansion of presidential power over the machinery of government if voters return him to the White House in 2025, reshaping the structure of the executive branch to concentrate far greater authority directly in his hands.

Mr. Trump intends to bring independent agencies — like the Federal Communications Commission, which makes and enforces rules for television and internet companies, and the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces various antitrust and other consumer protection rules against businesses — under direct presidential control.

He wants to revive the practice of “impounding” funds, refusing to spend money Congress has appropriated for programs a president doesn’t like — a tactic that lawmakers banned under President Richard Nixon.

He intends to strip employment protections from tens of thousands of career civil servants, making it easier to replace them if they are deemed obstacles to his agenda. And he plans to scour the intelligence agencies, the State Department and the defense bureaucracies to remove officials he has vilified as “the sick political class that hates our country.”

I swear this is Roger Stone's playbook, R504, but even scarier, is that if we take all the laws the GOP has passed or tried to pass at the state level, and in Congress, we can see alarming similarities to Germany in the early 30's. Hitler didn't just seize power abruptly. All the horrors of Nazi Germany were laws that were enacted gradually.

R505, when Trump was first President, he didn't really understand how anything worked. He still deferred somewhat to people with more experience. Now he knows more; he understands that he wants to be a dictator. He doesn't want anyone thwarting him a second time. It's all about vengeance and destruction.

R506 you're right. But we also need to understand that while Trump is on his mission furthering his agenda there are other smarter people with experience, guys like Stephen Miller that Neo Nazi POS who have an agenda to recreate the bad old days and succeed where Hitler failed. The fact that a world wide movement towards authoritarianism is occurring is not coincidental. Dark money is funding it, and it is directly tied t o Climate change. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. But having us fighting amongst ourselves and acting against our own interests is exactly the distraction they need to solidify their power.

R507, why do the Dark Money evil-doers WANT our planet to burn up? How are their goals directly tied into making the planet unlivable for anyone, even if you have air conditioning?

They don’t WANT it to burn up. They just don’t think it will affect them, and therefore don’t care.

No, they are smart if they are the power behind the scene. They have scientists. That doesn't make sense.

Dee Plorable doesn't think it will affect her, but rich, powerful people know it will.

Your conspiracy theory doesn't hold up.

[quote]Dee Plorable doesn't think it will affect her, but rich, powerful people know it will.

Today's rich, powerful Republicans believe the riffraff might suffer from a changing climate but their wealth and privilege will somehow shield them.

The Murdochs were first in line to get the Covid vaccine while their media empire went all in on anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. They. Don't. Care.

It's like the Titanic, R510. There are not enough life boats, so the privileged classes will be taken care of, and they may even do some genetic engineering. It's basically what corporations do, downsizing, etc. My "conspiracy theory" holds up just fine.

I will also add that it's getting pretty obvious that our scientists and NASA are frantically looking for other planets that can sustain life. Lots going on we aren't privy to. And a lot of space exploration has been privatized. I am not a crazy person. BUt at this point, we can almost predict exactly how long it will be until our oceans die, our air becomes unbreathable and the food shortages have great impact.

[quote]There are not enough life boats

There are no life boats. Not one. None.

There's two movies I think of when we talk about this catastrophic disaster awaiting the planet. District 9, and that Matt Damon movie, Elysium. I do believe in the future we will be sending our farmers to build structures so they'll be able to farm and even to live on other planet. Looking at the homeless situation now, it makes one wonder how many hundreds of thousands will be left homeless in the futre with Climate change. World wide famines, etc.

Here comes Tom Cottontale! Step aside manly man Josh Hawley and Miss Lindz. Lachlan Murdoch’s Fox is featuring a new darling.

[quote] Sen. Tom Cotton (R-NE) on Sunday shrugged off questions about his opposition to the Pentagon paying for service members to travel to receive an abortion, smearing the policy as unlawful “abortion tourism” and insisting that women should just use some their allotted time off. On Fox News Sunday, Cotton was asked about Republicans in the House on Thursday adding several controversial amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act, including one that would nix the Pentagon’s policy of reimbursing service members for the travel costs incurred to obtain an abortion. That policy has drawn the ire of Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who in response has been holding up hundreds of normally routine and speedy military promotions in the Senate.

It boggles my mind that anyone even listens to Trump. He's a fucking moron and a liar "the likes of which we've never seen."

Wow. Tom Cotton looks like he's starring in "Our Gang: Alfalfa Goes to Washington".

The corruption of Miss Lindz:

Well, gentleman callers should have known better not to leave their wallets on the nightstand. It is just too tempting for a lady that cherishes nice things.

Tom Cotton is another one of those Harvard Elite JDs.

GA Supreme court shoots Trump down.

Speculation around Atlanta, is that in addition to Trump, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, and Lindsey Graham will be indicted.

Mark Meadows was also significantly involved with attempts to tamper with voting results in Georgia. As with the feds, he may be cooperating with Fulton County prosecutors as part of a leniency arrangement.

Expectation is that Fani Wilson will deliver the bombshell.

Jack Smith delivering the one-two punch. Being notified you’re a target = indictment coming.

Jack Smith is my hero.

Kevin McCarthy made Trump a promise last month: The House would vote to expunge the two impeachments against the former president. And — as McCarthy would communicate through aides later that same day — they would do so before August recess.

[quote]The House would vote to expunge the two impeachments against the former president.

Why?

It doesn't change the fact he was twice impeached?

It is not some magic spell of forgetfulness.

If anything It makes the GOP House look even more insane and beholden to Trump by swing and independent voters.

[quote]It doesn't change the fact he was twice impeached?

It will shock you how much this never happened.

I posted this on another thread but it fits here. This is the most damning piece of reporting I've ever read. They can go through all the games they want but nothing can "expunge" Trump's role his leadership and his planning of the Insurrection on January 6th.

The White Supremacists hate real history. If they expunge it, they feel it never happened.

As opposed to Woke history: impeached, not removed. Impeached not removed. Republicans "expunged" the impeachments. Republicans think that expunging will alter the history. False, it only adds to it.

A con man who was pardoned by Trump has just been arrested for defrauding people

Kevin McCarthy is a political opportunist willing to dismiss ethics each time for the sake of power.

MPK is a strange one. He’s done some great work (The Comeback) along with dreck. Darren Starr left early in the S&TC series and MPK was responsible for the best seasons (3-5), which I find still watchable today. But he is just past his prime. He’s nearly 70, it’s time to retire.

DeSantis rails against drag queens. Puddin’ does make exceptions for Republican politicians.

The Fulton county district attorney investigating Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state of Georgia has developed sufficient evidence to charge a sprawling racketeering indictment next month, according to two people briefed on the matter.

The racketeering statute in Georgia requires prosecutors to show the existence of an “enterprise” – and a pattern of racketeering activity that is predicated on at least two “qualifying” crimes.

In the Trump investigation, the Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis, has amassed enough evidence to pursue a racketeering indictment predicated on statutes related to influencing witnesses and computer trespass, the people said.

Can’t Kevin McCarthy do something positive? For example, he could go out with housemate, Frank Luntz, and buy new drapes.

Trump documents trial set for next May.

This is ruining Trump’s breakfast. Judge Loose Cannon actually sets trial date for next spring, not for this December as prosecutors wanted but also not after the election as Trump’s attorneys wanted.

R554, please let it include Lindsey Graham, please let it include Lindsey Graham!

In fact, r557, right smack in the middle of the election. My only concern is that if there’s another slip, it will move the trial to after the election. Do federal judges normally hold to dates once they’re established?

Please Concern Troll this all the way to May 2024, r559.

I created thread #62, in preparation for more Dump indictments.

R558 Has Miss Lindzebelle been spending too much time poolside at Mar-a-Lago with Ginni Thomas and Sidney Powell? Her latest look from there shows the influence.

Miss Lindzebelle needs to be instead worrying about Georgia’s Fulton County. Hosting more gentleman callers can come later.

Please don't be too hard on those of us who have "concerns." I have hated Trump for a long time. I hoped and prayed for him to get caught, get charged with crimes and brought to trial. Then Jail. I hoped Mueller would "get " him. I hoped his own party would finally "see the light." I watched him get impeached twice, but never convicted by b the partisan Senate. I've watched Merrick Garland drag his ass following the Insurrection. Trump's always been so blatant, so "in your face" with his wrong doing. Then comes Jack Smith. I'm glad. He seems different. The times are different. This time it really looks like he's goona pay. But after all we've been through, please pardon my anxieties. That's all it really is. Anxieties. It's really happening and I need to believe. I want so badly for him to go down.

I think it's more "We have a RESPONSIBILITY to be Concern Trolls!"

I want to live!

So… just asking my question again- does anyone know whether federal judges generally hold trial dates according to their schedule? Or do they get moved a lot like local trials?

Fun fact. I used trolldar on r566 and not only is he a regular trolly troll who likes to insult random posters, he’s also the troll that posts only numbered posts to see what his blocked posters posted. So I killed two birds with one stone by blocking him.

This is going to be one WEIRD election year next year. Trump's going to be the Republican nominee no matter how many felonies he's charged with. Trump will be sitting and steaming in courtrooms for days at a time, then going out and holding rallies in the south in 100 degree heat and whining and insulting the judges and prosecutors and giving more and more explicit demands for his cult followers to DO SOMETHING! Crazy days ahead.

Well to all who have been ridiculing "concerns" just want to say that according to the legal experts and pundits on Twitter and on the News, "this may be just one of several postponements or delays..." Trump's attorneys have a strategy that includes delaying as much as possible. We should never assume we finally got him. He is a slippery, slimey POS. Our most important task is to make ironclad sure the Dems win in both Houses of Congress and we hold the White House. We need to get rid of the Republican majorities in our state legislatures and where ever possible in State governors and S o S. Wecan't keep playing defense and push back. We need to go on the offense at every level. Act like Republicans. Kick some ass.

Dems used to control many more state houses and local governments plus more Senate seats only 12-15 years ago but we got complacent and thought we “won”.
