US Politics

Ivanka should be in jail for real estate fraud.
The Trump Inc podcast has the details.
If the South District of New York can make a RICO prosecution stick the whole family will be in jail.

Trump supporters are not white, disenfranchised working class. They are white supremacist middle class.

It's not how you see them, it's how they see themselves.

worth noting hardly any "patriots" turned out for yesterday's goings-on despite their internet sabre rattling.

Probably down to the fact that these chudlords thought they had the president backing them. Not only did he not back them, he accused them of being criminals, then refused to pardon them to save his own neck.

the cockroaches may have scattered, but they're still there.

Nice to see he is still being outwitted by a teenager.

Given the multiple lawsuits and money troubles coming their way, I'm pretty sure Trump will carry on grifting to keep the money rolling in. I expect rallies to continue and some set-up to siphon off the cash (new party, re-elction campaign fund, etc). And the narcissist in him won't be able to accept sitting in his pants at Mar-a-lago.

also, seems to hold long grudges...

Makes it seem like its been eating away at her.

But probably not.

briliant though!

I think the entire Trump brood crying on the tarmac at Edwards base was a bit of a tell.

Not enough Amanda Gorman chat.

We will rise from the golden hills of the west.
We will rise from the wind-swept north-east where our forefathers first realized revolution.
We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the midwestern states.
We will rise from the sun-baked south.
We will rebuild, reconcile, and recover.
In every known nook of our nation, in every corner called our country, our people, diverse and beautiful, will emerge, battered and beautiful.

ted cruz is the next fucker / threat that needs to be taken down, along with the rest of the traitorous GOP

Cruz, Pompeo and Rubio scare the crap out of me.

Pompeo’s Twitter has been in overdrive during his last couple of weeks. He’s got presidential ambitions alright. He could easily be the acceptable face of the Republican Party.

i know it's just a poem, but

reconcile

fuck that.

Lincoln Project are turning their focus to Cruz and Hawley.

Pompeo has the charisma of a ball of pizza dough and is tarred by his Trump service. He won't be at the front but could be yeasty behind the scenes.

reconcile

fuck that.

Presumably fuck this too then?

I thought she was brilliant.

Rough guess ... in the cities largely Democrat. In rural areas probably Republican.

Not sure about 2020 but in 2016 Rep voters were statistically less educated, higher earning on average.

completely different time, place and context but you know that. i know it as well, because i was there. the TRC also came with a massive side order of actual restorative justice and no small amount of post-fact criticism on the grounds that it swept a lot of people's suffering under the carpet to appease the whites.

reconciling with white supremacists in the context of the recent fuckery in the US is an open invitation for them to try this shit again.

do better.

reconcile

fuck that.
Presumably fuck this too then?

I understood @greenhell to mean ‘fuck the historically consistent trend of forgetting the horrible things the other side said and did and pretending like it won’t repeat itself in 4-8 years’.

In which case, I agree, fuck that. All for real reconciliation though.

Thought Cruz will be going down for inciting the 6th Jan Insurrection?
Thought Ivanka had her eyes on Rubio's Florida seat?
Pompeo is one taco too many away from a coronary.

Possible repost, don't care.

Article about the rise of the Proud Boys

Thought I got this from here, maybe not, worth a repost anyway.

"Inside the residence, agents located the items MUNCHEL was depicted wearing in the
photograph above in the Senate chamber, including the tactical vest with a patch on the center of the chest displaying the “Punisher” comic book character and the Tennessee “thin blue line” patch depicting the State of Tennessee bisected by a horizontal blue line; a baseball cap depicting a rifle and a flag, with writing on the left side of the cap near the back of the cap; and five pairs of white plastic handcuffs"

Wow. That is amazing.
