US Politics

It's quite fun watching the twisted maneouvering of evangelical thought as they try to justify excuse the inexcusable on a daily basis. Come the end of this, they'll be left completely bereft of honour or credibility. Of course, they mostly won't care about this, but hopefully a small percentage of the flocks will be sufficiently disgusted to question their idiot faith.

I predict Mueller will keep digging, patiently, handing off info and evidence to state prosecutors about various parts of the web and allowing state prosecutors to get the wins. The web of financial transactions gets unpicked. its all about the money.

Then, with enough edge/mid level prosecutions in the bag, Mueller goes after The Trump Organisation with RICO. A successful prosecution at that level would mean Trump as a brand wouldnt exist. I think to Trump the money, his brand and reputation as a businessman is all.

Even threatening to take that away with RICO would panic him, hopefully not into starting nuclear war for distraction though. That would suck balls.

American Evangelists have been forgiving that kind of hypocrisy for decades. They let Bakker and Swaggart off the hook, gave millions to Oral Roberts each time he received a death threat from God etc. Trump is no challenge for them.

lolno! because if there's one thing these holy hypocrites like more than white bread and mayo family values, it's punching downwards in the direction of poor brown folks.

Second only to outlawing abortion. Would have been third to stacking the courts with originalists too, but that's largely complete now.

Edit: not that either of those aren't directly and indirectly punching downwards in the direction of poor brown folks as well.

and here's another leaking pecker story:
https://nypost.com/2018/08/25/doorman-who-sold-story-of-alleged-trump-love-child-to-ami-says-hes-free-to-talk-now/

I don't understand why AMI released him from the contract instead of milking it.
They had the exclusive rights to that story and are now giving it away for free (kind of)?

Popbitch (of all people) had a series of long articles about AMI and National Enquirer. They make the point that their readers are Trump supporters so Pecker is in a delicate position when it comes to publishing anything critical of him.

Then why release the story that way?

Anyway, just in:

Trump tries to colour the American flag, screws it

He's just colouring a Serapis flag

Is recognising flags a test for mental congisance? It sounds like one of those kind of tests.

Do you see the Enquirer in the UK? It is fanatically pro Trump and anti Obama/Clinton. It really prints horrible stuff.
They have a history of buying people's silence. They pay cash for an exclusive story. The person is afraid of telling their story to anyone else because the Enquirer threatens to sue.
It is very intimidating for a normal person to be sued by a giant corporation with expert lawyers and unlimited funds.

mental congisance

You might want to try being a little more cognisant. :)

Reuniting separated families (or not)

Ha - I was wary about that one - even googled it to make sure it was a real word :(

Not sure if that was posted? A further take on the potential Weisselberg impact.

This is quite good too. This week will hopefully prove to have been pivotal.

McCain/Palin

Was a thing

Yeah, for all that McCain was supposedly a gentleman who represented the old 'better, decent' politics, he'll go down as the guy who put populist bullshit front and centre. He introduced the cuckoo to the nest to appease the Tea Partiers. Cunt, may he burn.
