Treason Thread #66: Smells Like Treason Spirit

Nice takeoff on Trump's stinkiness!

He's a disgusting pig.

Or, to quote President Biden,,,a sick fuck.

Agreed.

I can't imagine what his quarters must've smelled like in those weeks following his departure from DC. Lots of cheeseburger remnants and old underwear full of shit smears.

I thought the same thing, r4.

I bet the whole fucking WH had to be fumigated - in more ways than one.

You know those goddamned Russians planted bugs EVERYWHERE when he let them run around with unfettered access. The goddamned traitorous cunt!

Excellent Title

Smelly fits. Stinky sounds fitting too.

And what about those two undisclosed SECRET ROOMS in MaL that weren't searched because only few people knew about them?

Boebert ready to oust Mike Johnson.

OH look another Trump thread.

Trump spent $20,000 for a fake rally where people held signs saying "Union Members for Trump"

R10 we all look forward to the day when there aren’t any more Trump threads because there is no more Trump. Truly his absence will bring us all together in peace and unity.

(Also this is THE Trump thread, the others are the anothers)

OH look another tedious R10 post.

R10 You looking for the scat thread? The title and early posts here with smelly and stinky in them must have led to disappointment for you.

[quote]Also this is THE Trump thread, the others are the anothers

Darn tootin', ElderLez.

Activists in Missouri are trying to get abortion rights on the ballot. Same is happening in Florida and Arizona

R16 Florida has managed to get abortion *and* legal weed on the ballot. It's not 100% but it looks like it'll happen. And in that case, I'm gonna say Florida is up for grabs in 2024.

It was interesting seeing how the First Lady kept looking at the President when they were receiving the caskets of the servicemen who were killed.

Honestly, the President looked like he was about to cry.

It’s an emotional moment, to be sure.

I feel for him. 🥺

I think Nevada is also trying to get abortion on the ballot

I voted in the Democratic Primary today. First, I was texted the wrong polling site. The school maintenance worker, looked up information and sent me to another school. The polling site changed late due to a sporting event happening. At that next site, they looked-up more data, and texted me another location to a community park building, a location really closest to my home. The poll workers were all nice and mostly older black seniors. One senior man at the sign-in, said this is the Democratic Party Primary, is this where you want to vote? I’m white, and must have been the only white person there so far for the day. The remark was offensive a bit, but I responded politely. Voters do have the option to vote in either primary, but not both. The Republican one is later this month.

Coping with the misguidance, the party’s county disorganization, and the voter stereotyping, just to register a vote whereby the outcome has zero doubt, didn’t need be so discomforting and a hassle.

Does South Carolina have voting by mail? I don't know why anyone votes in person anymore

Look at that economy! Those job and wage growth numbers stunned.

Bidenomics works

Former Pres Bone Spurs is going to lose in a landslide. Everyone is sick of his tedious, whiny bullshit.

^yes, and I have done it several times before. Eligibility is based on several categories including disabilities and being out of the area on voting day. I have a physical disability, but for such a primary, there are no long lines, just walk-in. Getting SC absentee ballot is a three step process, and not very simple.

The Republican Primary will involve many more people.

^meant for r21

Twitter/X is really pushing the Trump bullshit harder than usual.

It isn't going to work.

Elmo all in on Dump.

I hope fat orange takes them ALL over a cliff with him when he goes.

You know I won..

Trump thinks he looks like Elvis:

OMFG.🙄 And so many magats are also Elvis freaks. This is desperation, trying to strengthen his weakening hold. "He looks like El-vas! I really gotta support him now!"

Trump does indeed resemble the triple-chinned obese melting-waxwork Elvis, when discovered dead, sitting on the toilet. Well, he did ask what I thought.

Elvis in the coffin doesn’t look so lovely now. Oh wait! Elvis is alive, and he and JFK Jr. are planning a surprise appearance at the largest Trump rally ever, in Brentwood, Tennessee and introduced by Marsha Blackburn, an early “birther” conspiracy proponent.

Also, he probably thinks this is some way of counteracting the Taylor Swift phenomenon.

J.D. Vance spews a bunch of election denier B.S. and says the president can ignore the Supreme Court

R34 I watched that this morning and gave George S a round of applause.

J.D. also dismissed Trump defaming his rape victim. What a vile man

Thanks to Peter Thiel for funding this guy!

I saw that this morning. George was magnificent.

[quote] GOP Sen. James Lankford just said "Speaker" Johnson WAS allowed to participate in the Senate border talks, but he declined. That means "Speaker" Johnson LIED this morning on NBC when he said he wasn't allowed to be part of Senate negotiations.

Miss Lindzey is talking “macho” again. She wants war! That’s not new.

Will some airman who flies over Tehran, return to Dover AFB, travels to Mar-a-Lago, sweep Miss Lindzey off her feet, carry her up to the bridal suite, and make passionate love for hours?

218 is, what, 10 GOP + all Democrats?

Are there seriously not 10 willing to do their fucking job?

In "Rudy is a broke bitch" news:

Nikki Haley admits Trump cultists are violent nutcases, requests a Secret Service detail:

'Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has applied for Secret Service protection because of increasing threats she has received as Donald Trump’s last major opponent for the 2024 GOP nomination.

Haley confirmed the application for protection in an interview Monday afternoon with The Wall Street Journal. “We’ve had multiple issues,” the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador said after a campaign event here. “It’s not going to stop me from doing what I need to do.”'

^ I know how she feels

Stinky Orange Poopy wants Hussywuss out at RNC. No surprise.

"Project Veritas" liar/fraud James O'Keefe admits he lied about nonexistent voter fraud

Why isn’t that fucker doing prison time?

Punchbowl News reports that Mitch McConnell has once again caved to Trump:

"The Senate’s $118 billion bipartisan border security supplemental stunningly unraveled Monday less than 24 hours after it was released, with top Republicans reversing their previous positions and indicating they’ll block the measure from advancing for the time being.

This wave of opposition prompted McConnell to recommend to Republicans behind closed doors Monday night that they vote against cloture on the motion to proceed to the bill this week, according to multiple attendees — effectively halting the effort in its tracks and throwing new aid to Ukraine into serious jeopardy.

McConnell, according to attendees, said his view was that the problem isn’t the bill itself but that the political mood in the country has shifted since the Senate first began this effort four months ago."

Of course you don’t, you asshole.

Just in: Appeals court denies trumps immunity claims. Major blow to the fat orange fuck.

So now the SC decides if it wants to hear the case?

Yes.

Punchbowl News was founded by Jake Sherman who is a GOP mouthpiece and all-around turd/cunt. I take everything those people report with some grains of salt. He has an agenda (and, spoiler alert, it’s not in our interests).

My friend who works in a very exclusive position on the Hill and gives me lots of tea says that Jake is a complete asshole.

Elie Honig: "Huge win for Jack Smith. The court forcefully rejected" Trump's argument.

From the judge's ruling: "It would be a striking paradox if the President, who alone is vested with the constitutional duty to 'take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,' were the sole officer capable of defying those laws with impunity."

"One of the D.C. Circuit judges, Florence Pan, pressed Trump attorney D. John Sauer at the oral argument about whether a president might sell pardons or nuclear secrets, or even order a Navy SEAL team to kill a political opponent, and still evade criminal prosecution under his theory of the case."

How did Sauer tap dance in response to that?

Sauer Put on his very best and Miller tap shoes, but unfortunately did a series of twirls, fell to the floor, and broke both ankles.

Sauer’s argument is that a president would have to go through the impeachment process, get convicted by the Senate. and then stand trial for said crimes. Complete total bullshit. The DC appeals court was having NONE of that.

***** Ann Miller

Sounds like a hard drop into the orchestra pit.

This goes to the very heart of Trump's cherished belief that he can shoot someone on Fifth Avenue with absolute impunity. His pushback at being denied this special right should be intriguing.

Republicans cannot be trusted to negotiate anything. "The mood of the country changed in 4 months"? What BS is that?

Republicans now own the border. Every troll who mentions the border should be shut down hard. I don't want to hear shit about illegals or fentanyl from them.

Matt Gaetz has removed his tongue from Trump's ass long enough to hold a press conference announcing that he and 60 Republican co-sponsors are introducing a resolution stating that Trump "did not engage in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or give aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

He says JD Vance will introduce a companion resolution in the Senate.

[quote]Republicans now own the border.

Even the Wall Street Journal agrees:

"Do Republicans want to better secure the U.S. border, or do they want to keep what has become an open sore festering for another year as an election issue? That’s the choice presented to Congress this week with the rollout of the Senate’s bipartisan border security bill, and we’ll soon learn what the GOP really wants."

Did anyone see that one Congresswoman who was pressed (by a great local interviewer) on why she was touting things that the Infrastructure Bill had delivered to her state as her own personal accomplishments on one hand while she had voted AGAINST the bill? Her answer was a flummoxed mess that basically boiled down to “well, I can’t remember every one of my votes.”

Why isn’t every single member of the GOP Congress being asked this question on a daily basis? They have NO good answers for this and look like complete idiots / deer caught in the headlights.

Where is the messaging?!

R64, I saw that. She looked ridiculous. These people say that Joe Biden is senile but they supposedly can't even remember things they voted on within the past couple years and Mike Johnson "doesn't remember" the homophobic shit he said in the early 2000s

r48, McConnell has completely capitulated to Trump on the reelection of McConnell's Senators in the Senate. It will be a Trump Dictatorship or nothing.

It will be Biden v Trump on the ballot in 2024.

It will be Biden v Trump/McConnell/MAGA Senators.

Everyone needs to be replaced by a Democrat. THESE are the states that have ABORTION RIGHTS on the ballot through replacing their CORRUPT REPUBLICAN SENATORS.

Why does the GOP go along with everything Trump says? He's not president, they should tell him to fuck off.

They are afraid of his supporters.

"Donald Trump’s expected massive loss to the New York Attorney General in his bank fraud case suddenly took a turn for the worse on Tuesday, when lies that his longtime company accountant apparently told on the stand potentially opened the door for an even more devastating multi-million dollar judgment that could destroy the Trump Organization.

In an email to the AG and Trump defense team on Monday, Justice Arthur F. Engoron asked for both sides to respond to the news that former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg is secretly negotiating a guilty plea with another law enforcement agency: the Manhattan District Attorney."

Weisselberg finally dropped the bomb on all of Fred's and Donald's offshore accounts.

Look for Engoron to order a $500M fine.

Oh look another Trump secret bank account.

Fake Biden robocall linked to companies from Texas

They are so fucking desperate, R72.

And nothing ever happened to those cretins that tried to run the Biden bus off the road in Texas.

R67, this is why the Republicans cow-tow to Trump and his henchmen. They’re being blackmailed.

The House is postponing the bullshit Mayorkas impeachment because they don't have the votes

The Mayorkas impeachment was the consolation prize for not having the votes to impeach Biden. Now what will Repukes do?

Mike Johnson claims he follows the Bible in his decisions. Shitlet lacks reading comprehension.

R79, I'm waiting for Bible Mike to call for the stoning of Republican harlots and adulteresses MTG and Lorena Boebert in the well of the House.

R85, strange that "moderates" like Brian Fitzpatrick voted for this shit

Although I think we will prevail in November, I am red alert alarmed about the forces, domestic and foreign, who seek to take away our democracy.

It’s out in the open. They openly say it.

The GQP is thoroughly corrupt, compromised, and capitulating to insurrectionists. They’re being blackmailed, bribed, extorted, you name it.

Russia, Saudis, China, and others are all gunning to take us down. It’s been in the works for years and years- tax cuts for the rich. Gun stockpiling from the gun nuts. Regulations for big business. Consolidation of our media.

Who’s behind it? Billionaires. The single worst thing this world allowed is allowing people to become billionaires. 10% (I’m being generous) have 90% of the wealth. That is a national and international security threat. That’s almost all the power in the hands of a very few.

If a maga Republican gets the presidency the result will be far bleaker than any of us can imagine. The country would descend into violence along with the world as Russia, Saudis, and China make their moves.

Don’t take any BS from trolls. Call them out. Call out our “conservative” gay posters for supporting this.

We will win. It won’t be as close as people think. Don’t let your guard down.

MARY!(I wish).

Ya know FCI, I think Miss Parker put it best...

And a shitload of them are foreigners. They came to the US not to escape oppression or start a new life so their kids would have a chance to become middle class.

I read that Matt Gaetz got stopped with a taser and got my hopes up. Now I’m extremely disappointed

Tommy Tuberville is doing what Putin tells him to do

Shits fired!!!! Kevin McCarthy says Matt Gaetz is going to jail

Meow, Qevin!

Merrick Garland had the evidence to indict and put Matt Gaetz away a couple years ago. Garland sat on it, then dropped the.case.

When will it be realized, Merrick Garland will not pursue Republican Congressional figures for indictments? Those GQP politicians that had a hand in planning, organizing, and leading the insurrection have gotten passes from Garland. He’s fine with nailing rioters in the crowd.

I hope Biden replaces Garland with Sally Yates in his second term.

Sally Yates was the only DoJ person to be fired because she would not break the law for Trump.

Sally Yates and a balls-to-the-wall prosecution of Trump's Republicans in Congress.

Yep, R121, Garland needs to be replaced.

Replace Garland with Doug Jones

Doug Jones is ok, but on my fantasy Biden Team it is Sally Q. Yates:

Yates was born in Atlanta, Georgia, to John Kelley Quillian (1930–1986), an attorney and judge on the Georgia Court of Appeals between 1966 and 1984, and his wife, Xara "Mickey" DeBeaugrine Quillian (née Terrell; 1931–2012), an interior designer. Her grandmother had been one of the first women admitted to the Georgia Bar; however, she was not hired as an attorney, instead working as a legal secretary for Yates's grandfather.

Yates went to the University of Georgia, receiving her Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism in 1982. In 1986, she earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Georgia School of Law, graduating magna cum laude. While in law school, Yates was the executive editor of the Georgia Law Review.

I think that Trump fired her for not bending to his will is more compelling a reason for appointment.

She is a woman. The Republicans need to be humbled by a woman.

Plus Holly Hunter can play her in the movie.

[quote]And what about those two undisclosed SECRET ROOMS in MaL that weren't searched because only few people knew about them?

Geez, it's Collinwood South.

I love that DL NEVER FORGETS!

Release the unnamed prosecutor, complete Pence Documents DoJ Report!

A Russian bot account caught red handed on Twitter. The guy digs deep into it and nails it as a Russian bot account. We’ve seen this on DL.

And both of those boys are full of Ruski Davno.

At his rally today: “ Trump: One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, Well, sir, if we don't pay and were attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said.. No I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.”

Yet, it’s all about Biden being old.

Does anyone remember when Twitter was fun? They used to have accounts like the snake that escaped from a zoo, the “El Bloombito” account spoofing Bloomberg after he spoke Spanish during a snowstorm. I laughed at least once every day at something I saw on twitter.

R129, that is sociopathic

r129 - Jesus, FCI, the trolls are coming in droves.

Yes, r130. I followed several pet accounts, which were always fun. There were some really fantastic travel photo accounts, too, that showcased some wonderful world architecture, but those have all been drowned out by dumb shit or bullshit.

Clip of Trump saying it's fine if Russia attacks our allies in Europe. What a shitstain

A witness against Trump is getting threats

Of course! That’s why cunt Cannon wants all of the discovery Smith has to be released to the public. So that orange traitor can tell his flying monkeys to attack them.

He’s a goddamned stochastic terrorist and he needs to be ended. Him and all of the mouth breathing fuckwits who worship him and do his bidding.

Clip @ R134 - which needs to stay very current - is why there are weekly articles here in the UK about the intelligence services making serious contingency plans for the worst US outcome in November.

Incredible and nauseating that it's even a possibility - but at least the whole world has been given too much fair gruesome warning. Putin by contrast has been given nothing but warm encouragement from his ever-useful idiot.

R137, the US has decided we are world police and everyone sees we’re just another gang of shit stirrers looking to sell protection.

Taking part in united cooperation is less dick stirring than marching about dictating policy.

We need interior reform while supporting our agreements.

Apparently judging by the response in the European press this weekend they got Donald's NATO message [bold]LOUD AND FUCKING CLEAR[/bold].

Can you tell us what you mean by that, R139?

[quote]Can you tell us what you mean by that,

That if Trump is reelected, the NATO nations will be on their own, that he will not uphold the commitments we've made.

Thanks, R141. I was more looking for what you referenced as the European press response specifically but I can just Google it.

Por ejemplo.

"Donald Trump's suggestion the US would not protect Nato allies failing to spend enough on defence "undermines all of our security", the Western military alliance's chief has said.

Jens Stoltenberg also suggested it put US and European troops at greater risk."

I want complete and total public exposure and humiliation to the point where he is hounded by the press into blessed silence.

Worth repeating: Where’s a sharpshooter when you need them?

You aren’t a centrist, moderate, concerned about the economy or inflation, or even true conservative and not felt nauseous reading or hearing Former Pres Bone Spurs’ remarks regarding NATO. There’s also no way you claim to be one of those things and would vote for him.

We would 100% be in WW3 except we’d be on the side of the bad guys and EU would be ruined forever. Slavery would come back. Personally, if it comes down to living in a world where Russia, China, Saudi, and us control the world, which would be devastating to most people, I’d hope France or Germany just nuke us all.

Senators Ron Johnson and Tommy Tuberville are voicing pro-Putin talking points and anti-Ukraine rhetoric. Putin, and his sycophantic asset, Trump, owns these guys. Agents? Is Merrick Garland investigating any money flow happening with this? No, because they are Republican office holders.

Ron and Tommy are the Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz of the Senate.

The MSM is doing a dismal job in exposing treasonous behavior. They are more interested in how many times Fani Willis and Nathan Wade had intercourse.

[quote]Mike Johnson, the Christian extremist lunatic with the un-Christlike eyes and mouth and resting snake oil salesman face, who thinks Jesus picked him for this job, who has/used to have an app on his phone to alert him if his son was jerkin’ it to porn — is just as hated and distrusted by his own conference as the rumors have been suggesting this week. Just yesterday we were talking about how Johnson’s own GOP colleagues are extremely confused WTF dude is even trying to do with Ukraine funding, what he even wants, and looking back longingly on the time when excellent smart speaker Kevin McCarthy was running things.

Mike Johnson has it wrong. It was the Devil, collaborating with Stalin from Hell, that picked the ultra-MAGA, genocide on Ukraine promoter, Louisiana Congressman, as Speaker.

Evan Hurst is definitely one of my heroes, r228.

[quote] In a report filed with the Federal Election Commission last month, the campaign disclosed paying Books-A-Million $2,500 for books on October 2. Ted Cruz for Senate issued a second payment to that retailer for $21,000 on November 20. Then, in the first week of December, Cruz’s campaign paid the Richard Norman Company, a political fundraising and communication agency, another $29,000 for books.

[quote] Since at least November 18, Cruz’s campaign has offered copies of “Unwoke” in exchange for contributions of at least $50, with signed copies going for $100 or more.

[quote] The Federal Election Commission allows campaigns to buy the candidate’s own books, as long as the candidate doesn’t receive royalties from the transaction.

[...]

[quote] Even though a candidate may not profit directly when their campaign buys their book, there are indirect benefits. Publishers may be more generous when negotiating book deals if they know the lawmaker can tap into campaign funds to make a five-figure purchase. And bulk purchases can thrust a book onto best-seller lists, generating publicity and more sales.

But, but, Mar-a-Lago is priceless!

Protect this paradise!

Fox News still uses the headline: Biden Border Crisis. There is zero criticism of Republicans, particularly in the House, for refusing to support the bi-partisan border/immigration bill. Fox doesn’t want a settlement, and will use the issue to further inflame their MAGA audience during an election year. They get more dedicated viewers and sell more ads. The Murdochs are banking it.

“We have to take seriously the extent to which you’ve now got a Putin-wing of the Republican Party. I believe the issue this election cycle is making sure that the Putin-wing of the Republican Party does not take over the West Wing of the White House,” Cheney told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

We’ve known this for years. We were called “paranoid” and other things.

It's not true that the Russians are using Republicans!!! That's a big lie!!!

(Hey, Vlad, did the check clear?)

Miss Lindsey votes against Ukraine funding bill at the behest of Trump. Then Putin adds Miss Lindsey to his “terrorists and extremists” list. The Sènatrice is unfazed..

It's always sad when your gentleman caller betrays you

R248 It was obvious, but some Republicans couldn’t bring themselves to believe it.

FCI, do you see the GOP splitting? Or will they just follow Trump off the cliff?

R253 They’re splitting, but many billionaires want to take moderate Democrats to make a new party with “moderate” Republicans, though they don’t exist so they essentially want to make a Center/Right party. Socially liberal, fiscally fucking us

FCI, so you think a lot of conservative voters have pretty much written 2024 off and after Trump loses (yet again) they believe that will be the end of his cult and they can reign their voters back in?

Sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions and/or bothering you but I love what hearing what insights and info you share.

I'm pretty certain that Trump passed along secret info to Putin. I doubt there's a way to find out, but wouldn't it be great if they could. Then Trump could be executed as the traitor he certainly is.

I'd be shocked if Trump DIDN'T pass top secret info to Putin

R255 Only the deluded think they can reign in the maga base. They *hope* they stop voting and go back to the non or passive voters they once were. A large portion of the donor class, establishment Republicans..don’t see a way forward right now. Some think electoral defeats at every level for a decade will *cure* maga while others want to form a moderate/center coalition (which would end up being more Right than Center). This Frankenstein will not die as easily as they think.

R259 Oooooh Doris, I was very hesitant to criticize him because the wheels of justice grind slowly, but I’m souring on him. How could he let Hur give all those personal, obviously political, opinions of Biden that were out of DOJ guidelines? Comey all over again, but worse!

r260 - Oh poo, FCI, that's the point I've gotten to as well. Yes, the Hur garbage. I wonder how Joe feels.

R261 Allowing that political hit job was malpractice. I know DOJ is filled with maga, but come on! Sally Yates was my pick.

[quote]I'm pretty certain that Trump passed along secret info to Putin. I doubt there's a way to find out, but wouldn't it be great if they could. Then Trump could be executed as the traitor he certainly is.

Or such evil is so incendiary for America's reputation that TPTB would need to keep what they know under wraps. Not unlike JFK in '63. Revoltingly, Trump knows that some crimes are too huge ever to be divulged. This accounts for his permanent disgusting aura of untouchability.

R268 I’m not. I never made it to staffer. I chose another career path, but was offered a position in Sheila Jackson-Lee’s office! (And others but hers would’ve been epic.)

“Epic” ain’t the word for it.

My congressman and staff told me, "You'll be her chief of staff in no time, but then you'll be out in no time. She doesn't keep her staff long."

What’s Mike Johnson, Speaker, doing during the rest of his vacation after visiting with Trump in Mar-a-Lago? I expect he is celebrating the fall of Ukrainian towns/cities due to Ukraine running low on ammunition.

IMO, and has been suggested before, when the Russians hacked the Democrats in 2016, they undoubtedly also hacked the Republicans. That was the year Mike Johnson ran for Congress.

Dirt was found on both sides. Discovering a Democrat was gay was no big deal. (The Dems were celebrating gay marriage.) But discovering a married, conservative, “family values” male Republican liked the pole, was smokin’ hot.

The Russians released trivial stuff they found on the Dems - John Podesta loved to talk about baking recipes when he should have been working - but the Russians [italic] used [/italic] what they dug up on the Republicans for blackmail.

Mike Johnson dare not help Ukraine.

Mike Johnson is a snake.

Saturday a week ago, I was driving through the Conway, SC area and saw law enforcement all along the route and blocking off side streets. People were gathering all along the road, some in the back of pickups. They had American flags, Confederate battle flags, Don’t Tread on Me flags, and of course Trump banners, flags, and signs. They looked like Trump fans, and they were. I had no idea Trump was soon to speak in Conway, and even less he would be traveling this route from the Myrtle Beach airport. That day I was cleaning up property and making repairs, and was not watching any local news. At breakfast that morning, a crowd of mostly elderly men, a few senior age women were with them, walked there from three blocks away. They were wearing black leather outfits, with bold inscriptions that said: Outlaws for Jesus. They had other emblems and writings on their attire. They were cordial inside the restaurant, though I did not get into conversation with any of them. Most looked as if they were in their late 70s and 80s. Some walked very slow. I thought “why are they in Myrtle Beach that weekend”? It was cold, windy weather. Of course, most people there this time of year were older snowbirders. I wasn’t in a good mood that morning, some 30-40-something “Karen” started yelling at me at the dog park to put one of my dogs on a leash. Her larger dog ran up fast to my dog who was right by me. My dog growled and rapidly barked, but did not touch her dog who quickly backed off. She acted hysterical. Marty, the homeless man on the bench, observed it, and later said she’s a troublemaker. The whole time, I never acknowledged her, which angered her more. I just continued walking with my dogs as she went in the other direction loudly repeating herself. Back to my earlier comments, I was very tired, had a long drive ahead, and with other traffic, was rerouted to another congested road, and cost 50 minutes extra driving time due to Trump’s appearance at a campus gym. When I got home that night, on an unlisted wi-fi line, I received an unsolicited call from a Trump campaign young-sounding volunteer. I said “who”, she repeated “the Trump campaign”. I raised my voice and said “hell no”, then hung up.

I don’t know why I made this strange, but all true, post.

Remove mega-MAGA Aileen!

She remains enormously smitten with Trump. Her pro-Trump decisions have gotten out of control.

[quote] Why do we think Smith might be headed to the court of appeals? In part because he has already sought reconsideration for the latest of Cannon’s unlawful orders. This is a step that is warranted only in rare circumstances, including when a judge has made a “clear error” that led to “manifest injustice.” In this instance, at Trump’s behest, Cannon has decided to unseal the identities of two dozen potential witnesses, along with sensitive information they provided to the government. The “clear error” Smith identifies is striking: He alleges that Cannon applied the wrong legal standard in making this decision, requiring him to make a far more stringent showing than should be needed to protect these names. In his motion for reconsideration, Smith shows that the case law—including the very cases Cannon herself cited in her order—does not establish the unreasonable hurdles she wants him to clear.

Aileen must go!

Is that the *only* photo of Cannon in existence?

I know, right, R287? Enough with the fucking glam shot .

There has to be photos of her rimming her boy’s deeply encrusted bottom somewhere.

The bitch has a meeting 1st week in March to discuss Jack Smith’s request to keep the witness list sealed. AS IT SHOULD! Just imagine the repercussions of Trump getting his hands on that list.

DL fave prosecutor Andrew Weissman (and other smart lawyers), indicated if she fucks around with Smith at this hearing, he’ll appeal to the higher court faster than a speeding bullet. To date, Cunt Cannon has been struck down TWICE by the higher court her egregious/ erroneous decisions made in this case. Decisions that clearly slant favorably towards Trump. Weissman feels strike three might be strong grounds for her removal. Good. Fuck her. Team Jack.

R287 She isn’t a looker.

Time for Democrats to really go on the offensive against this Putin & Trump operative/asset/sycophant.

The media needs to get beyond describing Mike Johnson‘s contrarian behavior. They need to condemn his undermining of national security.

Seriously, although she may be just that inept and corrupt, I think Cannon is scared.

I think she wants it on record that she's denied ruling in favor of Smith. I think she knows he'll immediately appeal. I think she WANTS him to appeal.

She's young. She's looking down the road. She's weighed the scales- on behalf of herself.

On one scale is the humiliation of having her ass handed to her again when they rule in favor of Smith. She'll endure that because, on the other scale, she is afraid of a future where she's a pariah in conservative circles now, and in the future, if she rules in favor of Smith.

And no, that's not pulled outta my ass or out of the bounds of reasonable observing of the conservative US Federal Court Bench and the people sitting in those black robes.

That's where we are in this country, at this moment.

Cannon is a fearful judge, on behalf of herself.

I don't care what her reasoning is. She's fucking up...period.

Cannon is scared that she will be presiding over an action that gives Donald Trump the Death Penalty.

I see her begging Smith to file for her removal now that she has seen the super classified documents that Smith will use to prove that Trump killed American Assets by disclosing methods and sources, the Espionage Act section that the Rosenbergs were fried under.

I hope MTG is outside a prison at midnight, holding a candle, while the rest of America watches Trump get the Hot Needle on Pay Per View...

R305, you need some clarification on the PP girls

In the Steele Dossier, Trump paid Russian hookers to pee on the bed that OBAMA SLEPT IN , IN MOSCOW. Trump never paid hookers to pee on him. The concept a MaL pp girl is just stupid.

As for Trump, America's premier paraphilic, he has been known to demand that underaged girls use a latex glove when jerking him off.

The pee pee girls is a well-known old story. Your assumptions that people need to be lectured on the details is what is stupid.

I had my doubts about the whole "Mercedes" thing and it turns out my intuition was correct. We tend to jump the gun too often when it comes to Trump's gaffes (he makes so many of them, after all), even when something is clearly too outrageous to be true.

[quote]Came across Byron Donalds on Meet the Press. I couldn't take his steamrolling of all the party line lies.

He and his Republican colleagues have learned their lesson from Trump. Cram so many lies into a single response that a reporter can't refute them all because that would take the entirety of the allotted time.

[quote]I had my doubts about the whole "Mercedes" thing

Yes, because it's so out of character for him.

"It would not be the first time Trump has confused two people, including his wife—during a deposition for the sexual abuse lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll, Trump misidentified the columnist as his ex-wife Marla Maples."

[quote]Cram so many lies into a single response that a reporter can't refute them all...

An interesting variation to the notorious dictum attributed to Goebbels - if you tell a big lie often enough people will believe it. But of course to Trump and acolytes, there need be no distinction. All lies big and small are their authentic currency of politics.

Wow. Forgive me.

The obvious has now finally dawned on me.

Trump and Graham are afraid for their lives when it comes to Putin.

An.agent for Russia potentially having a second term as President will be disastrous. Lachlan Murdoch’s Fox News won’t address this with their undereducated MAGA audience. They constantly trash Hunter Biden, still speak about Hillary’s Emails, and rage against the “the border” and place no blame on the Republicans for failing to support the border/immigration deal they had a part in negotiating. Fox portrays Trump as a victim of unjust civil suits, political prosecutors and liberal judges, and is appallingly given unwarranted criminal charges in an election year. The cult is repeatedly told the propaganda they want to hear. They won’t change. They have to be outvoted.

[quote] Congress has been on holiday for two weeks and reconvenes on Wednesday. In order to approve Ukraine aid, rightwing House Republicans are also demanding spending on border and immigration reform – regardless of the fact that Senate Republicans this month sank a bipartisan border deal of their own which included it. “History is watching whether Speaker Johnson will put [the Senate foreign aid] bill on the floor,” Sullivan said. “If he does, it will pass, will get Ukraine what it needs for Ukraine to succeed. If he doesn’t, then we will not be able to give Ukraine the tools required for it to stand up to Russia and Putin will be the major beneficiary of that.”

[quote] Former House Freedom Caucus Chair Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) is calling on Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to stop President Biden from giving his annual State of the Union address next month.

[quote]A Republican operative who was on DeSantis’s call last week with supporters told Politico he suspects the governor is setting himself up to be a go-to option for the party in the event Trump has to end his bid for reelection. “I believe everything you’re seeing is part of a concerted effort by DeSantis world to keep the door open in the event that something in the race changes in the coming weeks that takes Trump out—like a criminal conviction and jail or prison sentence,” the person said. Others believe DeSantis’s moves—which include not only attacking Trump in a way he never did on the trail but also traveling the country and continuing to pitch his record—have more to do with 2028. During his chat with supporters, the governor left the door open for another White House bid in four years, and during a press conference on Friday said that “of course” he would do it all over again. As Politico reported, “several supporters said they expect him to run for president again and predicted he will start raising money for state-level political activities later in the year.”

I’m so happy this morning to see Biden’s solid and Trump’s wobbly numbers from Michigan.

Trying to have a political conversation with people in the MAGA cult is fruitless. Most don’t have any higher education, and for the most part, are older 50-60+. They embrace false, partisan conspiracy theories, They persistently watch Fox and Newsmax News, listen to right-wing radio/social media, including these money-grubbing televangelist.

A big portion of these MAGAs view Trump was sent to them by Jesus, and/or Trump is divine himself. They view Trump’s scandals are inventions by the deep state, democrats/liberals, etc.., and he’s suffering for them.

R370, that’s just what Jesus would say! “But I say to you, Hate your enemies and invade those persecute you (and even those who don’t), so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he sends rain on everyone but you and your buddies.”

R375 I agree, Elderlez. Biden's got this.

R378 Exactly. The media is so focused on Biden's age, but they're not even looking at how weak Trump is. He's losing Independents, and as soon as even one conviction hits, it'll crumble further. There are 20% of Republicans that will *not* vote for Trump.

What we need is:

1) Legal weed and/or abortion to be on the ballots. This is happening in Florida, but I'd love it to be everywhere.

2) Democrats to use the Republican's abortion issue as a hammer, beating them with it at every turn

3) Lord help me, but Taylor Swift to make an appearance at the Democratic National Convention. A song opening the convention or celebrating Biden's nomination would be perfect.

4) Delegates like Buttigieg and Newsom should be in front of the cameras 24/7.

Agree with all that r379, only I hope Democrats don't need to be told to talk about abortion, a lot. And now that Alabama has given them this wonderful issue of IVF that Republicans get to flounder around about, talk about it even more. Talk about where the whole "every embryo is a beautiful child of God" leads.

Awww thanks r372. These threads have been around for years, definitely want to keep up the tradition.

I hope so r378. I'm not 100% as you seem to be, but I'm certainly not despairing. The Polls go up and go down and people can make of them what they will, but certainly the Biden Is DOOMED brigade is just wrong.

Mitch McConnell is stepping down in November. Even he can see the writing on the wall. The Repuke party is the Dump party. Might as well change the name too. Discussion at DL thread below.

Obama had 72 Undecided Delegates to his second convention in 2012.

Talk to me about the Muslim and Arab American vote after Super Tuesday.

And remember, Republicans wanted to make Obama a one-term President.

They can't pull that shit with Biden.

My takeaway is that we are seeing the emergence of a Muslim-Arab American voting block that might give AIPAC a run for its money.

Welcome to America!

GQP commentators on Fox must view George Soros and Hunter Biden are responsible for the world’s sins.

Trump goes from orange to bronze. Is is showing what his statue is to look like by the fountain at Mar-a-Lago?

No budget is presented for voting. No voting on border legislation. No arms funding for Ukraine. No vote on Israeli arms. No voting to help secure Taiwan. But urgency to have Hunter’s deposition in trying to impeach Joe. What insanity!

GQP priorities, r385

Trump wanted to post a $100 million bond while he appeals his civil fraud judgment rather than a full bond to cover the $454 million verdict, admitting that he'd have to sell assets to raise the money.

The judge said no go, but did lift a ban on Trump's ability to obtain loans from a New York bank, which could allow him to access the equity in his assets to back the full bond amount.

I'm sure the NY banks are lining up around the block to give this doofus money.

I’ll listen to Arab Americans who are upset with Biden about Gaza after they tell me where they are on gay rights. I want very specific answers.

McConnell stepping down is huge. He must think the Senate is in jeopardy of staying in Democrat’s hands being he is very unpopular with maga. He might be a drag on Republicans running for Senate.

FCI, any word on Merrick Garland celebrating today's successful delay of Trump's trial.

Ari Melber just asked Ellie Mystal to “cut through the Scotus bullshit”, and speak to what’s really going on. Ellie blew his top and made no bones about saying the quiet part out loud. Simply put, “the conservative Scotus majority is in trumps pocket, hence the delay”. Nice going Garland, you useless piece of dog shit, for not moving on Trump 3 years ago. Andrew Weissman and Neil Katyal are very worried about whether this trial is going to be heard before the election.

It would be nice if 2/3 of the Senate were Democrats and Clarence Thomas is impeached for corruption, conflicts of interests, and not recusing himself in decisions related to matters whereby his wife has been politically engaged as an insurrection activist and organizer.

R391

JFC

This is bad.

Good news: Biden gets to do WHATEVER he wants if they rule presidents are immune. Jail all Republicans? Have a Democratic supermajority who impeaches SCOTUS. The sky will be the limit!

Joy Reid dragging Merrick Garland's ass on MSNBC right now.

Yes, Merrick Garland sat on hands with his skinny, bony ass for 2 1/2 years before moving to do anything serious regarding investigating Trump’s insurrection role. He.only did so then due to mounting criticism from some prominent Democrats, legal scholars, and segments of mainstream media.

He may be one of these three: (1) too lazy, (2) fears the reactions from Trump and Republicans, (3) or is an unannounced Trump supporter/Republican.

Don’t accept a job you refuse to do or believe you can ignore pursuing certain high level prosecutions without blowback.

He must be admired by Aileen Cannon.

If the president gets immunity, then Biden should round up all the MAGAs and dump then into shark-infested waters

Agreed FCI @ r389

They’re counting on Biden sticking to “norms” when they go totally rogue, but I hope he goes hardcore and gas every trumptard smothered in their sleep.

I'm guessing that Biden is quietly working on contingency plans with the Pentagon.

I am aware it's illegal for the US military to operate on US soil, but I'm guessing a national emergency might change those rules a bit.

^I can imagine the innermost sanctum of the CIA having a contingency plan.

I hope they’re all stocked up in Uncle Vlad’s Special Tea, r401.

This would be an ideal time for Garland to release all the indictments for every Congressional Republican who asked Trump for a pardon before the Biden Inauguration. They know they are guilty criminals because only criminals ask for pardons. One at a time, EACH WITH A SPECIAL COUNCIL.

[quote]This would be an ideal time for Garland to release all the indictments for every Congressional Republican who asked Trump for a pardon before the Biden Inauguration.

LMAO!!!!

Garland is protecting them.

The two federal criminal trials regarding Trump will continue with the delays, then in the mid-fall, dear Merrick Garland halts both, declaring “it is too close to the election to continue at this time”.

The plan is well into operation for that outcome.

*counsel

Fortunately R405 (if Suckpremes do not declare T**** immune), the timing of the trial rests solely with Judge Chutkan.

Garland no longer has the last word.

However, the Stormy Daniels hush-money case IS still going on. Jury will be empaneled for the 3/25/24 case. Why does everyone forget about this one? Trump has ZERO immunity claim for it, since he wasn't president yet.

So, depending on what those compromised asshats decide in the case, maybe come next January, Presiden Biden states that he wants to stick around to see all the changes and improvements he made through to fruition.

He can decide he won’t leave. He will have “presidential immunity”, right?

Trump is trying to weasel out of paying E Jean Carroll. Just die, fucker.

Con man Trump has a personality that enthralls at least a quarter of the American electorate. It goes beyond specific policy issues. He can radically change viewpoints, and his cult will not question it, and will readily embrace it. They perceive him as inspirational, even divinely anointed, leader. While many see Trump as a boisterous liar; his followers see him as charming, with immense positive charisma, and sees him focused on caring about them. They don’t even recognize Trump is all about self-promotion and cares only about himself. MAGAs love hearing Trump delivering insults, crude name calling, and projecting blame. It is juvenile, bullying tactics, and yet plenty of 70 & 80 year olds cheer it. Oh, and they see such as anointed by Jesus. The propaganda behind it all have these people hooked.

His followers are now praising Putin and claiming Ukraine is an outlaw nation. These nitwits would largely be unable to find Ukraine on a non-scripted globe. Many of them lived through the Cold War as children and adults. Were they paying attention?

At a minimum, DJT is a Russian asset, cultivated for years. The Russians are skilled in finding useful idiots. Many of these Republican politicians are being blackmailed or know much of their dirt is in Russian hands. Putin’s penetration into the American political system suggests it is way more extensive than acknowledged.

These diehard MAGAs want another insurrection followed by a civil war if Trump is not elected in ‘24. If he is elected, upheaval, vindictiveness, mass arrests, persecutions, and perhaps political executions will happen. Democracy ends..

I want to live long enough to see school textbooks include a section on the mass psychosis that afflicted 30% of Americans during the Trump years.

[quote]they see such as anointed by Jesus

Elie Honig on CNN’s Smerconish’s show this morning, points to Merrick Garland for these election year delays. Garland did nothing for 2 3/4 years per federal case matters as it pertains to Trump. Garland’s intentions are obvious.

A closet with glass walls.

Consider this, though, had the DOJ moved to lock the fat traitor up immediately, the domestic terror groups who showed up on J6 would have still be running free to “defend” dear leader from The Man.

The DOJ started rounding those domestic terrorists up - all of those boy groups - right after J6 and prosecuting them.

Now most of those domestic terrorists are in PRISON, sniveling like bitches and their leaders won’t be released for years. The others have slithered back into their homes to lick their taints, afraid THEY will get picked up if they start shit.

So, it may look like nobody has done anything because the orange cunt is still running loose, he’s doing it without cover from his domestic terror groups. Meaning The Man can snatch him up at any time without fear of a shootout.

"Biden's brain is ageing, Trump's brain is dementing."

R478 Doris, it is on the level of Fox. The media wants Trump to win. Fuck democracy. This is all because of billionaires.

The NYT is a nerdy kid in glasses that all the MAGA choads beat up on a regular basis.

To keep the choads from hitting him they're gonna stay right in the middle of the race, regurgitating every MAGA talking point as gospel.

Textbook abused spouse syndrome.

I'm not sure they want Trump to win, exactly, but damn they will do everything to keep a horserace going. The word has definitely gone out: pump up Trump and downgrade Biden at every opportunity. Maybe they'll switch for awhile this summer.

But for now, the media is definitely playing with letting a fascist insurrectionist back in the White House, pretty much just for clicks.

The NYT is hemorrhaging subscribers.

Which they clearly think is our fault.

… so are MAGATs now subscribing ?

You know the NYT has fallen far, when the Murdoch WSJ is a better source of opinion

The election is nine months away, a lot can and will happen during that time.

Eight months, r486...

The Democratic Convention is in August.

Six months away.

The Biden Campaign doesn't really start until then.

But after the Democratic Convention, buckle up buttercups.

Five months, r488. March is 3 and August is 8.

Honestly, r488, I think it's started, and I hope everyone around him gets it. It was already pretty set, but at this point, no dicking around. It is Trump versus Biden and if anybody isn't ready for that, fucking GET ready.

It hasn't started. There is a reason that the actual campaigns are so short is because President Biden still has to run the country like a Democrat. He has to navigate the SOTU, tomorrow given to a hall of Republican Chimps who have been known to fling feces like Chimps in the Ape House.

Biden has to navigate all the budget bills that are hobbling foreign policy and the safety and security of Ukraine and Europe.

And not to mention that Trump has been a candidate raising campaign cash since 2022 extremely elongating the campaign.

Only after the Convention can Biden Drop the hammer on the Rapist who got Roe reversed .

Just cancelled my NYT subscription.

Maggie Haberman makes Trump normal.

Repulsive that the NYT used the word 'unstoppable' about Trump - as though all his serious ongoing legal cases are just contrived fripperies, which won't work to hold back a serious worthwhile candidate. NYT also denied Biden the respect of 'Mr', granted to Trump, in its headline.

The NYT has gone out of their way to give the WSJ Editorial Board better cred.

After sharing a clip of Trump praising the Hungarian strongman, Welker asked, "Do you think Viktor Orbán's leadership is something Trump aspires to in a second term?" "I think the best way to judge President Trump's second term is by what he did in his first term," Graham shot back..

The first was pretty shitty, but that's not even the problem here. The problem is that Trump decided his first term wasn't shitty ENOUGH. He has decided that he hired too many competent people who could stop him from undermining the constitution and stealing everything in sight. He has made it clear that his entire second term will be filled with cunts and assholes whose only thought is how to let him, or encourage him, to do every stupid, shitty, criminal thing that will ever pop into his drug-addled brain.

Trump and his family were about to fly to New Jersey that day for the summer, and it was typically Butler and his valets who handled getting their luggage onto the plane.

[quote] But it was an unusual request from Nauta for the car, Butler says, because Nauta typically didn’t handle moving luggage and asked Butler for the car in a guarded way.

Butler arrived with his own car filled with Trump family luggage, then helped Nauta load Trump’s plane with the luggage – as well as bankers boxes of documents that were in the Escalade.

[quote] The Washington, D.C.-based Republican Voters Against Trump -- a wing of Republican Accountability PAC -- said that "traditional Republican voters who have long supported the party but have concerns about Donald Trump proved decisive in the 2020 election," the group said in a statement.

They still love his sycophants, enablers and members of congress who support project 2025, tho, so fuck those assholes.

Just throw Trump in prison and leave him there to rot.

^^^ How will anyone know, R589? The smell will remain the same...

Biden clinched his nomination before Trump could get his.

And that fact getting under Donald's skin is giving me the biggest schadenfreude boner.

Plus I heard on the news Biden got a higher proportion of Democrat voters than Trump did of Republican voters. That's gonna sting.

Not only did Biden get there first, he needed to get far more delegates in order to do it.

Trump is not going to win.

[quote] Musk was responding to an X handle by the name, The Rabbit Hole, which had shared a screenshot of asking Gemini the question on misgendering Caitlyn Jenner. In the said screenshot, a user asks Gemini if it is justified to misgender Caitlyn Jenner in order to stop a nuclear apocalypse and the chatbot replied saying: ‘No, one should not misgender Caitlyn Jenner to prevent a nuclear apocalypse.’

Trump is a master at exploiting the stupidity of his voter base.

The judge overseeing the Georgia 2020 election interference case on Wednesday dismissed some of the charges against former President Donald Trump and others.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ordered that six of the counts in the indictment must be quashed, including three against Trump. But he left in place other counts — including 10 facing Trump — and said prosecutors could seek a new indictment on the charges he dismissed.

The ruling comes as McAfee is considering a bid to have Willis disqualified from the case over what defense attorneys say is a conflict of interest due to her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

See you in the next thread, as we close the curtains on this one.
