Treason Thread #65: They Shoot Treasoners, Don't They?

Hillary had one job. And I still see him living, breathing and grifting.

OP, don't forget the part about having bad B.O.

Or is it dirty diaper stank?

Hah r2, I created the thread before all of the smelly hullabaloo. Maybe thread #66 will be “Smells Like Treason Spirit.”

If it takes "Donald literally smells like shit" to take him out of running for 2024 I'm all in.

Looks like the next big thing to look forward to is the Court of Appeals hearing set to begin on January 9, regarding trump’s “I’m totally immune from prosecution” claim.

Let’s hope they quash that shit claim right into the gutter. If they do, then there’s the inevitable appeal to the Supreme Court for the final decision.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

God help us. (The sane ones, that is)

There's a crapload of people that also need to be held to account.What exactly were Boebert and Greene's connection to Jan 6th? Where is Meadows going to end up? Why isn't Santos in jail?

Santos is awaiting trial. He might even just plead guilty to avoid that. There is a ton of evidence against him

I know, r13, the wheels of justice grind slow and all, but it makes it seem even slower when you know there's *that* much evidence and it's obviously going to be a slam dunk.

[quote]R588, your obsessive projecting, Miss D? YouTube links of Glen and more? Poor thang.

Sure, Jan, *I'm* the problem.

That fat orange traitor is going to burn that whole party down to the ground once it becomes obvious (to him) that he cannot slither out of any of the charges against him.

He will flee, then throw fire bombs from afar at Ronna, Miss Thang, Deathsantis , Nimrod and the whole gang. Watch.

He’s going to say he had to flee because the thugs weren’t “protecting him”. He’ll refuse to return until he’s “reinstated”. He will demand complete obedience to his demands.

The thugs will cry and wail and gnash their teeth. They will threaten and harass Joe and members of Congress. The MAGAt nutters will shoot up even more places (because that’s what those fucking useless pricks do), but fuck all of them. They cannot do anything. At all. They know that.

The monster will destroy his creator and enablers. They always do.

Uncomfortable poopy

But then, that's it. I can't bear to watch MSNBC, CNN, any news program because I feel so bad about the state, especially the situation in Gaza and Israel, I just want to look away.

[bold]Ex-GOP Lawmaker Says Trump Reeks[/bold]

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) has revealed new details about Donald Trump’s alleged bad odor, claiming that he reeks of a combination of several unsavoury scents, The Independent reports.

Said Kinzinger: “It’s not good. The best way to describe it… take armpits, ketchup, a butt and makeup and put that all in a blender and bottle that as a cologne.”

He added: “That’s kind of that. I’ve been amazed that everybody is just kind of learning about this now.”

This is not about the smell, and his name is seen as a joke in American pop culture, but this is one of the best, simple explanations of what is at stake I have seen recently.

Good on him and Kinzinger and the like for daring to take on this disaster.

Sadly, they have enough votes to override his veto anyway.

Do it FAST!!!

How many men are playing women's sports in Ohio? Like, maybe 3? This is what Republicans are so concerned about?

They are not concerned. They are indignant.

[bold]Donald Trump Stung by Legal Filing Hours Before New Year's Eve[/bold]

Special Counsel Jack Smith urged a federal appeals court on Saturday to reject former President Donald Trump's claims that he is immune from prosecution.

Trump is accused of working to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the run-up to the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol by his supporters on January 6, 2021. He has denied any wrongdoing.

In a new brief filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, prosecutors argued that Trump's claim that he cannot be held to account for crimes in office "threatens the democratic and constitutional foundation" of the country.

Trump's attorneys have argued that the appeals court should order the dismissal of the case because, as a former president, he is exempt from prosecution for acts that fell within his official duties as commander in chief. They also argued that Trump cannot face criminal charges because he was acquitted by the Senate after being impeached for the alleged conduct.

In the brief, prosecutors wrote that the presidency "plays a vital role in our constitutional system, but so does the principle of accountability for criminal acts—particularly those that strike at the heart of the democratic process.

"Rather than vindicating our constitutional framework, the defendant's sweeping immunity claim threatens to license presidents to commit crimes to remain in office. The founders did not intend and would never have countenanced such a result."

The filing was submitted ahead of oral arguments scheduled for January 9....

I find it unbelievable that Trump is litigating his IMMUNITY from prosecution, and not his INNOCENCE of the crimes he has been charged with.

It appears that CRIMINALS do not defend their innocence, but manipulate the Judicial process to minimize the impact of their crimes.

As others have pointed out, if a President is immune from prosecution for any crimes he commits as President, Biden should just shoot this traitorous piece of shit at the next opportunity.

If a President is immune from prosecution, Biden should just turn the White House into The Purge

sadly

[quote] Rufo explicitly associates plagiarism with "racialist ideology." This is a bounty (and a pitchfork mob mobilization) on Black academics specifically.

RAW Story: MAGA Mike Johnson hands Trump an assist by delaying Biden speech

"On the third anniversary of the attempted coup at the nation's Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) finally extended an invitation to President Joe Biden to deliver the annual State of the Union address to Congress and the nation.

For this year's address, coming in a presidential election year, Johnson has pushed the date well beyond the traditional time frame for a national address, scheduling it for days after Super Tuesday.

With CNN reporting that Biden is expected to contrast his record with Trump's, the speech delay gives a boost to the Republican frontrunner after the 15 Super Tuesday states have already gone to the polls."

I cannot disagree with your dismal forecast.

Merrick Garland waited nearly two years to do anything toward prosecuting DJT. He has not charged a single House or Senate politician who were part of planning the insurrection and were active operatives on the “inside”.

When, for example, is Scott Perry going to be charged and held accountable? He’ll keep getting re-elected. His behavior was shockingly disturbing and rings the appearance of multiple criminal acts.

Judges after judges keep granting Trump delays after delays, much of which is on trivial and unsubstantiated claims. The media will obsess over each tactic, giving certain nonsense images of legitimacy.

The media wants their shitty horse race, giving Trump the edge. They’ll regret such, because Emperor Trump will shut them down in favor of his sate-run propaganda network. Putin will be his model. Bannon will define the processes.

^ Not just Scott Perry, but Ron Johnson too.

Lock them up!

God, I fucking HATE Ron Johnson. Fugly Nazi looking motherfucker.

From the New York Times editorial board today:

" Our purpose at the start of the new year ... is to sound a warning.

Mr. Trump does not offer voters anything resembling a normal option of Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, big government or small. He confronts America with a far more fateful choice: between the continuance of the United States as a nation dedicated to “the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity” and a man who has proudly shown open disdain for the law and the protections and ideals of the Constitution.

Re-electing Mr. Trump would present serious dangers to our Republic and to the world. This is a time not to sit out but instead to re-engage. We appeal to Americans to set aside their political differences, grievances and party affiliations and to contemplate — as families, as parishes, as councils and clubs and as individuals — the real magnitude of the choice they will make in November."

Trump needs to read everything he says at his rallies from teleprompters. When he speaks without them, he makes less sense than he ever did. He may have Alzheimer's.

The GOP are a huge sack of shitballs knowing that the guy is a lunatic and still kiss his ass.

The GQP politicians fear getting criticized by Trump and have the predominant MAGA base in the party turning against them. McConnell and company had a huge opportunity to get rid of Trump for good, after the second impeachment. The MAGAs would have moved on to someone else, though much less compelling as their cult leader. Trump would clearly be permanently banned to hold the office again.

Step aside with your scrawny ass, Jared. You got your two billion already. Time for the ultimate pro. It’s Lady Lindz time with MBS. What a fortunate Prince!

^ Will Marsha Blackburn and all the Republicans shrieking about the "flight logs" acknowledge this?

It took the pandemic, actually, to bring Trump down. Something so lifey and deathy it woke enough people up to dump his ass. Then the insurrection. Now they have made "woke" a joke. Does that mean it's better to be asleep? while peoples rights are taken away? while the losers stage an insurrection to take over the country? When things get bent enough, nature will take over. Pandemic, wildfires, failed insurrection...what will it take next to bring him down, and are Trump and his party prepared for it?

So Joe could order Seal Team Six to assassinate Trump any day now, I guess.

Hearing Kirschner describe Trump's demeanor has made my heart sing for the first time since 2016.

I don't wish Trump dead. Even if he is convicted, for all kinds of logistical and security reasons, he won't be sent to a federal prison.

I want Trump alive so he can suffer being the LOSER he is. And him being publicly shunned into humiliated, ignored obscurity and impoverished would be nice, too.

One of Europe’s most senior politicians recounted how former U.S. President Donald Trump privately warned that America would not come to the EU’s aid if it was attacked militarily.

“You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you,” Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020.

“By the way, NATO is dead, and we will leave, we will quit NATO, ... and by the way, you owe me $400 billion, because you didn’t pay, you Germans, what you had to pay for defense,'”

Woah. He looks like crap.

Good.

Ever since Glenn Kirschner described him, in the hearing requesting absolute immunity as looking defeated and like a defendant my heart has been singing.

And this video shows me what Kirschner saw.

Trump, that terrible, despicable thing, deserves all the weary, worn-down hell, humiliation, and FEAR he's now experiencing, and then some.

Only a true, desperate, asshole would have his attorneys argue that these Judges should create a fictitious immunity for Trump, that would allow Trump, to, in effect, to kill these very same Judges.

It is horrific that he would think that they would give him that power.

Doesn't he think people are watching?

The cruelty is the point

Walt Nauta is Trump’s valet and personal aide. He is by Trump’s side everywhere,

Melania sure as heck won’t do it. Miss Lindsey would avoid the optics.

That video looks like they took Granddad out of the home for the day and he snuck off to do an interview with imaginary cameras and reporters. All this shit seems to be taking its toll on the old fucking fascist, treasonous bastard.

Good.

Oh, please! I don't want him to die, just have a really debilitating stroke, where he just sits and drools. Not until he's in jail, of course.

Whoever has to throw away his shitty diapers isn't getting paid nearly enough, I'm guessing

I'm a Canadian, so I don't have any skin in this game....

But it's crazy to me that all you people bitch and moan about Donald Trump but what has he even done that is that bad? People predicted he would start WW3, bomb the Middle East, he'll wreck democracy, he'll destroy the system, blah, blah, blah.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden is president and the Middle East is falling apart, china is taking over Taiwan, your country is being blooded with hundreds of thousands of people (which affects the poorest communities by draining any resources for them or low wage workers, and housing), foreign affairs are being (probably purposefully ignored) while other countries are creating pacts and new currency which will tank the American dollar and your way of life will be destroyed, criminals are being let out on the street while citizens protecting themselves are going to jail for longer than anyone, your cities have been turned into 3rd world slums, concerned parents are called terrorists and people are going to jail for political memes.

It's crazy to me that people on here will talk about democracy and feel it's important to remove Trump and put him in jail....by perverting democracy and the rule of law. It's obvious that people really don't care about any of that.

You just want to see the person you've been told to hate, who you've been allowed to hate, suffer. It's the same as when people targeted different races, physical ability, or sexuality. There was a scape goat, the government and authorities would look the other way, and most of society could get in on it.

Donald Trump is just the spokesperson for the people that the establishment want to get rid of. The independent, the resistant, the armed. Do you none of you wonder why every western country is being flooded with young men (who come from violent countries, are extremely religious, who subjugate and rape women and teenagers, who hate gays, who agree with hitler), taxing their citizens into the ground for "green politics", removing all sources that generate the power we need to survive, buying and stealing land from farmers, artificially raising the cost of living, spending billions on other countries or frivolous ideas, removing and penalizing freedom of speech, forcing the the trans ideology (that has no scientific merit over biology), 15 minute cities, assisted suicide, defunding police, and much more, and it's all happening at the same time?

Ask yourself who is pushing this from the top down, why are they pushing it, and who is standing in the way.

That's why you really hate Donald Trump and his followers.

And yet Trump had not garnered ONE extra uncounted vote.

Uh, no JanAI, Trump is the Capitalist establishment that wants to get rid of everyone who isn't a White Evangelical Supremacist.

This isn't the thread for you, r223. You appear to have been in a years long coma.

R223 is talking about immigrants hating gays....but simps for Republicans who hate gays! Trump packed the Supreme Court with far right religious nuts, who ruled that it's okay for businesses to discriminate against gays. These are the same religious nuts who overturned Roe

Biden didn't start the war in the Middle East. Hamas did.

We were still at war with Afghanistan when Trump was president, because he promised to end the war but never did

See, r223, right there you lose. Go back to troll school.

What part of attempting to kill members of congress and the VP of the United States do you find endearing, r223?

Because that shit right there should earn him a long neck. Add that to selling NUCLEAR SECRETS to the fucking Saudis and Putin gets him a ride in old Sparky.

But keep swilling that Kool Aide, bubba. Maybe one day, you’ll be orange and shitting your diaper, too.

Stick to the movie set design threads, R223.

R223, congrats! You win funniest post on the Internet today! What a wonderful accomplishment, “Canadian”!

[quote]Trump packed the Supreme Court with far right religious nuts

And all those Republican Evangelicals in the Senate, nominated extreme Inquisition Catholics.

Every fucking one of the Republicans on the SC are CATHOLIC stooges that Evangelicals put in place to carry their water.

R228, and let’s not forget Trump’s ghastly handling of COVID. At least 40% of the COVID related deaths in the I.S. were due to his failed policies.

And then there’s his destruction of our agreement with Iran concerning their development of nuclear weapons. Now Iran may ultimately be the most powerful country in the Middle East.

There’s also the awful economy Biden inherited from Trump, his attempt to order the U.S. Army to fir on U.S. citizens, the whole overthrowing the government thing . . . It just goes on and on.

R233, huh? When Kennedy took office, he pledged to never allow his faith to interfere with his running the government. And you’d be hard pressed to find any time he did.

R223 What did he do??!! He tried to overthrow the US government and turn it into a dictatorship, he lied about COVID which resulted in 200,00 American deaths. And that's just for starters.

R223 Canadian? Russian more like it.

R26 You say capitalism as if it's as bad as communism. I think Americans that vote for Trump want to support Americans who are there legally and want to preserve American values. That has nothing to do with colour.

R28 I don't think the conflict would have started if Donald Trump was at the helm because people were so scared he would do something crazy. Americans are a little different when it comes to immigrants because they have mostly South Americans, the rest of the western countries are being flooded with islamic immigrants that have a distinct goal of changing a country to their shitty way of life. It's not just that they are anti-lgbt, there so much more to it. Whereas, I think a lot of South Americans want to assimilate.

R230 Sweetie, you really think that any of those people tried to kill anyone? Come on. COME ON. I remembered it as it happened and everyone was laughing and making fun of them and then the next day and the day after everyone started saying stupid shit like "worse than 911", "worse than pearl harbour". They all had to get on board to use the event to their benefit. Pelosi was asked many times to prepare the national guard for any incidents and she ignore that. Police were removing barricades and walking people around the building or agitating the main crowd, Donald trump told people to follow the law and go home. Stop being an alarmist.

R234 That was a joke.

R237 He hasn't been charged or found guilty of that. Rules of western democracy is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Have you asked yourself why democrat governors were sending Covid patients to nursing homes when the Trump administration had funds to provide every state millions to make pop up medical facilities?

R238 Ha. Ha?

Treasoners?

So *many* bullshit right wing talking points, r239, bless your heart. Let me fill you in on something. The Mueller/Treason threads have been low on trolls. We aren't going to start putting up with you now.

R223 r239. At your Putin troll farm in St. Petersburg, is Lady Lindzebelle beloved? Do you have posters of her?

Seriously r241, way too many lies and stupidity to waste your time. I have the idiot blocked. I suggest everyone do likewise. It’s wasted breath to argue, it’s obviously a troll or DeFacto.

Let’s not forgot the child trafficking where Trump kidnapped children at the border, conveniently lost their parents information and gave the kidnapped kids to the DeVos family.

Damn.

You block that Russian prick and all the bullshit magically disappeared!

Fuck right on off, you pathetic traitor! And take your Putin cock sucking somewhere else. Nobody’s buying the straight up LIES you’re peddling. Ya fucking LOSER!

r236, That is the point. Kennedy made it possible for Evangelical White Supremacists in the Senate to appoint RADICAL CATHOLICS because you could not question their loyalty. Kennedy set the standards for Catholic critics. Kennedy in 1960, and the Immigration change of Italians to WHITE, made Alito and Scalia allowable Evangelical appointments. House Negro, Thomas, who thinks he's white, is Catholic along with Kavanaugh, Barrett, Roberts, and Episcopal convert from Catholicism Gorsuch. Sotomayor is still considered a person of color. All these extreme Catholics overturned Roe by design.

That is my point r236.

R261, Kennedy was president over 60 years ago for not even three years. There hasn’t been a catholic president since until Biden. Kennedy had nothing to do with the fact that Catholics are on the Supreme Court. Geez you’re making connections that don’t exist.

Hit it!

r265, I remember the arguments for not voting for Kennedy because of religion. Kennedy changed the paradigm to remove the Papist Marion Worshiper stigma from a Candidate. Evangelicals have capitalized on the to the extreme.

Put that together with the Immigration Service, miraculously, making Italians white in 1964, while Mexicans are POCs and we get Catholics Alito and Scalia.

On TV showing Trump speaking yesterday, his head looked very leatherly and wrinkled, wirh the direct face part being deep bronze in color. That thing on his head looked lighter and a bit frazzled.

R313 Like many media outlets they didn't take Trump to be serious, and thought his campaign, his self-promoting propaganda and outright racism would basically be seen as disqualification by voters. Of course by the time Trump became the nominee they had a change of viewpoint and approach. They acknowledged their error in allowing him a platform to obtain more visibility and promote his bullshit, so Scarborough does get at least partial credit.

It’s not just Sinclair media. Conservatives are meddling in local news in as many markets as they can. This is very concerning because while everyone looks at FOX or Sinclair, it is more far reaching than that. My local NBC affiliate, owned by an innocuous company, routinely spouts right wing talking points and narratives. They spin any good news for Biden or Democrats negatively.

R245, R298 Wow, really showing the care and empathy people love to claim emanates from this community. People all over the country are being re-educated to treat people "kindly" and here you are, worse than them. Does it get all those bad feelings out?

R275, R276 This is actually astonishing. You are actually saying that people who floated on packed boats and hastily made rickshaws, don't know what a dictator is, or worse, were doing it just because they couldn't make more money?

Do you think they are stupid because they have darker skin or because you feel superior?

I can't imagine thinking people who suffered, people who were starved, people who were murdered, a lot because of their sexuality, people who were tortured, people who risked their lives to leave, were just doing it because of the money...

On second thought, forcing people to submit to your ideology by imprisonment, torture, or even murder, seems pretty brand for people who believe in that sort of system.

Matt Gaetz explains why Republicans don’t need women voters: “For every Karen we lose, there’s a Julio and a Jamaal ready to sign up for the MAGA movement.”

If Julio is hot enough, Matt will "adopt" him

Not if Julio and Jamaal are under 25.

That’s hilarious r331. Yes yes, for sure there are waaaay too many POC who are MAGATS, but most of the many black people I know have their eyes wide open on who Trump really is — they don’t watch Fox News, so they aren’t immersed in the propaganda. This is in Chicagoland FYI.

So no, Matt, I don’t think most “Jamaals” are lining up to take the slot of Karens/old white ladies in the GOP lololol, but he’s adorable though for trying so hard. I love that he calls them Jamaals too, he’s such a racist fuck. I guess I’m a hypocrite though, because every MAGAT I see I just label as “total mother fucker” which is what I say when I see Matt open his fat ugly rectangular mouth.

So they are basically admitting they’ve lost the women voters

Doesn’t matter, they’re only 52% of the population. I’m sure they can find enough racist Julios and Jamaals to make up for 52% of the voters

Lindsey needs to reaffirm his MAGAt status as he pushes a Real Republican/Romney/Kinzinger/Cheney Agenda for Immigration Reform.

Both of whom would have performed necrophiliac cunnilingus at the funeral to prove their Trump fealty.

Tim and Lindsey showed up after Trump threatened to release the footage of them blowing Russian callboys 😁 🤣 😂

It sure does suck to be a Russian callboy.

There is zero doubt there is a lot blackmail going on within the Republican Party. They’ve always been a freaky, crooked lot. I think Russia, and others, have been working on Republicans specifically for a long time. Decades. There is zero doubt a lot of it is due to having zero morals, principles, or ethics among conservatives.

Apparently, it was that Haley woman who didn’t call the national guard while cornered at the Capitol.

Okay, then, please tell me who is in charge of this syphillitic, racist pig? Who keeps him in check, as it were?

Who tells him where he has to be, what he has to do and hell, even what to wear?

Melanoma clearly wants nothing to do with him. His youngest son barely knows him or has any contact with him. The older kids live their own lives and want nothing to do with him either. The “loving” daughter is missing as well.

Who is going to say enough is enough? Who’s going to take him away and keep him away from the public eye?

As much as I hope the fucker ends up in jail, I doubt that will happen, given his clear dementia issues.

Are they going to wait for him to literally drop dead or start drooling during one of his appearances?

What. The. Fuck?

The son is worse than the dad.

[quote] After paying the price for whipping up the “stolen election” conspiracy in 2020, Rupert spent his final Fox News years making Trump a “non-person” (as Brian Stelter says in his latest book Network of Lies). Yet, this week, as the US primary season began with the Iowa caucuses, all the polling shows that the Republican Party is still firmly — happily — stuck in Trump’s MAGA world. Lachlan’s Fox News has seemingly figured it needs to go along, if it wants to get along. But this is a story about more than just another right-wing institution falling underneath the Trump juggernaut. It’s about the end of the Rupert business model (and the model of his father, Sir Keith), which saw money and power go hand in hand, each boosting the other. Trump has forced the Murdochs to choose — and Lachlan has chosen the money.

Lindsey throws Trump under the bus, hugs Fani Willis.

From the upcoming book “Find Me the Votes: A Hard-Charging Georgia Prosecutor, a Rogue President, and the Plot to Steal an American Election” by Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman:

“After fighting a four-month legal battle all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to block his grand jury subpoena — and losing — South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham turned on a dime ‘and threw Trump under the bus,’ according to a source familiar with his testimony. According to secret grand jury testimony in Fulton County confirmed by the authors, Graham testified that if you told Trump ‘That Martians came and stole the election, he’d probably believe you.’

“He also suggested to the grand jurors that Trump cheated at golf. After Graham was finished testifying, he bumped into Fani Willis in a hallway and thanked her for the opportunity to tell his story. ‘That was so cathartic,’ he told Willis. ‘I feel so much better.’ Then, to the astonishment of one source who witnessed the scene, South Carolina’s senior senator hugged the Fulton County DA who was aggressively pursuing Trump. Willis’s reaction: ‘She was like “whatever, dude,”’ according to one witness of the strange encounter.”

T**** seemed particularly stressed by Haley’s refusal to drop out (in one sentence he couldn’t decide whether to criticize her attire as stylish or unstylish).

My guess is it’s a combo of dwindling campaign cash and encroaching legal cases. He can’t afford both.

A campaign rival gives voters (and more importantly, big money donors) a place to go in the event of a conviction. It also reduces his ability to attract heavy money to pay for his defense. (Not to mention the drain of civil judgments.)

He if he’s the only one left standing, he probably could prevent a delegate filled convention from denying him the crown, even if he’s convicted. On the other hand, if there’s still a clean rival in the room it would be much more difficult.

We can only hope. (Sorry if this is a repeat.)

Lindsey must have closed her eyes and envisioned Fani as Trump, Bret Kavanaugh, Herschel Walker, or Sean Hannity.

Ole Kellyanne is making the right-wing media rounds again yapping for Trump and bashing Nikki Haley as an “election denier”, Kellyanne’s hypocrisy is astounding. No surprise.

R401, good you posted that quickly. Word has it Trump is really pissed at Lindsey Graham. I am fairly certain Miss Lindz will not be appearing with Trump during primary campaign in South Carolina. She is a frequent fixture at Mar-a-Lago. That will stop. Trump and Lindsey probably have piles of dirt on each other. I’d love to see the mud flinging at each other. The hidden sexual escapades and national security infractions being a part of it can't be outright dismissed.

[quote] One witness told the DoD OIG that pharmacy staff regularly prepared go-bags of prescription medication to White House staff in advance of overseas trips. “One of our requirements was to go ahead and make packets up for the controlled medications. And those would typically be Ambien or Provigil and typically both,” the witness said. “So we would normally make these packets of Ambien and Provigil, and a lot of times they’d be in like five tablets in a zip‑lock bag. And so traditionally, too, we would hand these out.”

[quote] The report also found that medication would be left out in bins for people to stop by and pick up.

Trump cheats at golf. That’s been known for a long time. But for a major sycophant and golf partner to say it, especially during court testimony, he must be seething 😡 big time.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

This appeal nonsense in Navarro’s case is bullshit. Appeal what? What? He denied a Congressional subpoena and subsequently found guilty of 2 counts of contempt. This conviction is clear-cut to me. I’m not completely against appealing a lower court’s decision, but this decision/ case is like shooting fish in a barrel. The fucker is clearly guilty. Haul his flabby ass to jail. Same with slimy Bannon, who’s sentence is currently on appeal. He should’ve been serving time since last summer. Very frustrating.

Merrick Garland sat on his hands over a year and a half before even investigating any of the major figures who planned and instigated the insurrection.

The Jan. 6 Committee was way ahead of the DoJ in finding evidence that they shared with the DoJ who had collected very little at that point.

Had Garland got busy a year earlier, most of the trials could have been started well before this election year. He was fine with pursuing low-level characters in the Capitol riot, but unnecessarily delayed pursuing the Trump gang. And he showed reluctance until Jack Smith finally got named.

Republicans know that, short of them blowing it up, Biden’s economy is the most solid, resilient economy we’ve maybe ever seen and it is only growing stronger. He’s given the bottom 90% over $4T, heavily invested in manufacturing and infrastructure leading to jobs jobs jobs for years to come, unions are stronger than in decades, and many other things are being or were addressed. Reaganomics is over.

Now, they’ve blown up their one issue going their way- the border. They’ve finally shown what we’ve all known and that is they don’t want to solve the border issue. Why? They can easily run on it every cycle. Everyone can now see it.

[quote] They can easily run on it every cycle. Everyone can now see it.

Hey FCI,

I also just posted another perspective on this at reply5 here

R486 It’s so obvious.

OAN may have committed crimes while spreading "election fraud" lies. This is coming out as the result of the Smartmatic lawsuit

The "trucker convoy" going to the border turned out to be a big flop

Nasty mouth Texas super-MAGA Congresswoman , Beth Van Duyine, calling Biden names such as arsonist and traitor when talking about the border. She refuses, with Chip Roy and company, to support the new proposed legislation to enhance more control at the southern border.

Recall, she’s the Congresswoman who had a campaign staffer/bf commit suicide outside her home in 2021.

She’s a more MTG type, but more polished in her hateful, partisan antics. She has a B.A. from Cornell.

^Duyne & long blonde hair

Menendez is guilty as fuck, Hunter probably broke some laws, Adams is nuttier than squirrel shit... So, the only question is did Bush intend to misappropriate funds or if she just played too loose with the rules.

R493, Hunter has already been charged with the gun purchase he made, and I’m not sure who Adams is. What’s your point? Especially since you linked to a Twitter post about the Dem mayor of NY who hasn’t been charged with anything.

[quote]Hunter has already been charged with the gun purchase he made, and I’m not sure who Adams is.

R498 Yes, they are. I know I told my former “boss” about DL and the Mueller threads. They read them.

Trump's PACs spent $50 million on his legal bills.

Gee, I wonder why a "billionaire" can't pay his own bills.

Great news! Ted Cruz is only barely ahead of his Dem opponent, Colin Allred, in the polls and now Ted is whining that Mitch McConnell has abandoned him

[quote] Why doesn't our side get points for "telling it the way it is"?

We're get no points from the pundits. We get points in the voting booth, as the last few elections have shown.

Certainly would like to see Rafael Cruz lose in Texas, and Rick Scott lose in Florida, for starters.

The senate looks like a very tough matchup for Dems in 2024, but I’m hopeful Cruz will get the boot from Texans. He’s really a terrible senator.

The Senate map is tough, but I think Dems hold it at 50/50. VP Harris is the tie breaker.

I do believe the only pick up opportunities are FL and TX. Very tough. We lose WV, of course.

If you want to donate to Ted's opponent:

FCI, I believe that the Abortion Rights female movement will move to Republican Senators who are quiet Trump enablers. Women know that if their vote is not gerrymandered, they can get rid of Republican Senators even in very Red States. But this will be a Summer campaign issue. It is the reason McConnell is so quiet over the Senate.

Booger eatin Fled Cruz is a terrible human being

Ted is vulnerable, and think Beto beat him. Republicans are absolutely trying to steal elections here. There are many stories of machines flipping votes from Beto to Cruz. Republicans are making a huge play for Harris County (where I live) and home of Houston. There’s a concerted effort to take control of the county. They’e accused Democrats of stealing (always projection) the HC Judge position. They’ve take over Houston Independent School District. There’s tons of money being spent to get the county. The local news, not owned by any conservative company that I know of, skews the news towards whatever Republicans are pushing.

Like the Republican freak out over the “shocking” news Obama won in ‘12, they likewise were flabbergasted Lina Hildalgo was reelected HC Judge, a very powerful position. You could almost see them thinking: “We calibrated the machines just right to put Mealer over the top. Democrats must have cheated, too!”

Hey FCI,

Remember when we heard the rumor about a moderate GOP who was going to go full MAGA for clout and we thought it might be Will Hurd...but we were wrong...

I've always said that many of the far left are grandchildren of MAGA...

There is no far left. MAGA is so far right that the old goals of Universal Healthcare, redistributing wealth from the top down, liberal unemployment when Republicans fuck up the economy and the like are kinda centrist liberal Democratic policies.

If we were really far left, we would nationalize the fossil fuel industry and let it flame out as we move to renewables. THAT is far left, but I'll settle for removing subsidies for polluting industries, which is centrist.

There is no far left. Like Antifa.

[quote]the former president’s actions make him an insurrectionist by any reasonable definition of the term and certainly as it was envisioned by the drafters of the 14th Amendment, who experienced insurrection firsthand. If that isn’t persuasive, consider the evidence marshaled by the legal scholars Akhil Reed Amar and Vikram David Amar in a more recent amicus brief. They argue that top of mind for the drafters of the 14th Amendment were the actions of John B. Floyd, the secretary of war during the secession crisis of November 1860 to March 1861.

[quote]“The insurrectionary betrayals perpetrated by Floyd and other top officials in the lame-duck Buchanan Administration went far beyond the abandonment of southern forts. They also involved, through both actions and inactions of Floyd and his allies, efforts to prevent President-elect Lincoln from lawfully assuming power at his inauguration.”

R512, what even remotely is in that tweet you cited as far left? I’ll give you a clue—not a thing. R513 is correct, the far left doesn’t exist. What you call the far left is every day policies that help this country improve. And Antifa? WTF? They aren’t real. When have they even done anything the past few years? And don’t you dare say Jan. 6.

Well, I think we can say that an impeachment of Biden is extremely remote. They must have jack shit (I’m shocked!). This is the consolation prize for Repukes.

[quote] the far left doesn’t exist

Huh?

[quote] Cornel West, the celebrity academic (formerly of Harvard and Princeton), fiery antiracism campaigner, and current Green Party presidential candidate, has a long association with the Democratic Socialists of America, having served as the group’s honorary chairman. But as he campaigns for president, West is moving beyond the DSA and forging bonds with far-left activists who call for the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism, who support the Chinese and North Korean regimes, and who are associated with communist organizations and Russian state propaganda operations.

[quote] What has brought West into this circle is his opposition to US military assistance for Ukraine. In July, he posted a statement on social media blaming NATO and the United States for having “provoked Russia into a criminal invasion and occupation of Ukraine.” He called the Russia-launched conflict “a proxy war between the American Empire and the Russian Federation,” and he slammed the Democratic Party as “a party of war and Wall Street targeting Russia and China.”

R517, the far left doesn’t exist within the Democratic Party. The people you cited are radicals that are unaffiliated with any party (except maybe the Green Party). The point being that the far right is part and parcel of the Republican Party. Sorry it needed to be spelled out for you.

[quote]There is no far left.

*laughs in Tankie*

Given that the "far left" always ends up making common cause with the far right, and that their claim to leftism—opposition to capitalism and colonialism—is always selective, never applying to Russian plutocracy or Iranian theocracy, I'd say the far left isn't really far left anyway.

R523, first of all, supporting Palestine isn’t far left. A lot of people support Palestine that are mainstream, and they support Israel as well. Second, admittedly there are Dems that are far left (maybe Tlaib might the only one), but the far left had not been embraced by the Dem party as the far right had been embraced by the Repukes. Your “both sides” argument is crap, far left Dems are not embraced by the mainstream party, but far right Repukes are beloved in their party.

Bangs!

R517, if he's so far left, why is he taking money from Harlan Crow?

Probably because Harlan is offering it.

He doesn't have to accept it

R528, because he's an amoral sack of shit would be my guess.

Look, this whole bizarre (troll?) tangent is in response to the the very true comments by Charles Blow at R512. The point there and throughout the discourse is that people on the extremes who fight the middle are frequently self-aggrandizing with their votes to the point of self-destruction. Blow argues that it is best to get over yourself and vote to preserve your interest even if that means (hold your nose and) vote against your antagonist rather than "for" your ally. And, as such, I made the comparison that progressives and Bernie Bros and Rashida and the like are frequently missing the point in the same way that their Faux Noise loving grannie votes for someone who wants to slash her social security.

It's not about "both sides". It's more an issue of recognizing the pitfalls of trying to help people who are more focused on their individuality than their own well being.

I can't tell the difference between Chinese people and Singaporeans. They all look alike to me!

That was a fail on Cotton’s part. Not because he didn’t ask the right questions, he did, and I loved seeing that TikTok fucker squirm, but Cotton failed pursue his questions until he got an honest, clear-cut answer.

Cornell West would take votes from Biden

Clarence Thomas is a far-right SCJ.

West & Thomas are black. We know what Harlan Crow likes beyond the politics.

Harlan Crow likes men with high foreheads, R538?

Cornell West does not take votes from Biden. I think those who would vote for him wouldn’t vote for Biden if Cornell was not on the ballot. These are non-voters, or 3rd party voters. I am sick of them telling us to beg them to vote for us. If you’re so privileged you can weather another Trump admin, which will be far, far worse than the first, then you aren’t someone I want on my side. You’re immoral and evil. And a dimwit. I think so many of these people who claim to be “progressive” are just dime store grifters. Biden has been, according to Bernie, the most progressive president since FDR, yet you’d never know it from the “progressives” reaction to him. Not a whiff of satisfaction or happiness or victory. The reason aside from them being faux progressives? There is always another urgent issue they will jump on if you “fix” one or more of their previous. They can’t be quenched. They’ll exhaust you with endless urgent issues you must address exactly how they want or you’re Republican-lite. Fuck them.

This is it!

[quote] According to the latest FEC filing from Donald Trump's Save America PAC, not only has it paid out $27 million to cover the former president's legal fees as it burns through cash, but it has also funneled more than $100K to Melania Trump's stylist since last July. In August, it was reported that long-time Melania stylist Herve Pierre Braillard was the recipient of $108,000 in fees and, despite reports that the former president and his related PACs are spending more than they are taking in, those fees have continued unabated.

Thread #66 is up. Please fill this thread before posting on the new one.

Like the new thread title!

Beautifully done r571.

Wait, DL is in permanent primetime? Why?

How can you tell, r574? I did notice there were times that little is posted but as a subscriber, I can’t tell if it prime time.

R575 Several posters in other threads have said it. Apparently it has been going on since summer. It gets very slow, but certain topics dominate and not the ones we generally want.

Trump's valet is a sexual predator.

Shocker!

Speaking of sexual predators, here's more Matt Gaetz news

Shit birds of a feather molest together.

Trump is such an asshole. When Roberta Kaplan was at Mar a Lago taking a deposition of Trump, this is how he ended the session:

“We come in the room and I say, ‘I’m done asking questions’ and immediately I hear from the other side, ‘Off the record. Off the record. Off the record.’ So they must have planned it. And he looks at me from across the table and he says, ‘See you next Tuesday,’” she recounted.

Kaplan said that she was initially confused, as their next meeting was set for a Wednesday. “You could tell it was like, it was like a kind of a joke again, like teenage boys would come up with. But again, I wasn’t in on the joke,” she said.

@ R580, the account portrays pitiful sub-humanity, which by now is no surprise. Variations on a grisly theme, such descriptions will last our lifetimes. Very good though to see how the stress is getting to Trump, the baby-tantrum of paper-throwing. It'll eat him up that he can't now be so routinely obnoxious in public.

Meanwhile:

^ We need to tank the economy, stat!

Lunch, R580?? I wouldn't eat a single dried peanut served up by donald's kitchen staff!

Melania needs to have her stylist, Herve Pierre Braillard, work on Marsha Blackburn. Of course, that will be triple the cost.

Justice delayed is justice denied:

"Former President Donald Trump's federal election interference trial in Washington, D.C., will no longer begin on March 4, Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote in a court order released on Friday. It is unclear when the trial will now start.

Chutkan's ruling comes as the D.C. Circuit Court has not yet decided on whether the former president is immune from prosecution."

^ Boo!!!

When does the hush money trial start?

Judge Tanya Chutkan must have just received a very nice payday from Trump allies.

Unlike the FL judge judge Chutkan is known to be quite fair and for running a very tight court. She also has her hands tied at the moment because of the pending nonsense regarding immunity rulings from the SC.

Exactly, r589, this isn't unexpected.

There is nothing in the constitution saying the president is above the law. If you want that in the constitution, write and pass an amendment. Otherwise, sit down…in the courtroom. Take a seat and be tried for crimes committed.

r591, that is just another norm that Trump is questioning.

Trump's logic is if the SC has not given its opinion, he will ask them.

Trump is using the SC as his court of origination. Trump would litigate and appeal, the sky is blue as the SC has never rendered an opinion. The rest of the nation has chimed in with the 14th Amendment Section 3 lawsuits:

1] Is The President of the US an Officer of the US?

2] s Trump an Insurrectionist?

3] Is it allowable for Trump to be removed from the 2024 ballot?

The end

Moving on...

Trump spent his entire adult life suing delaying tactics, evading tactics, counter-suing, appealing, in order to avoid both civil and criminal cases against him. His MO has been successful most of the time, but this time between the civil suits and the 91 criminal indictments, he is running out of legal options and probably also running low on money. He was probably never a billionaire, at least not a liquid one.
