    Remember when everyone was duped by these crooks?

    For months, Democrats have alluded to but largely danced around the question of whether President Trump might be compromised by Russia. On Thursday, Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) decided it was time to stop dancing so much.

    “I’m talking about the entirely legitimate question of whether Donald Trump could be compromised by the Russian government,” he says in prepared remarks for a floor speech he just began. “It’s more than a legitimate question.”

    “For should the facts confirm our greatest fears to be true, I ask my colleagues to consider what the history books will say about those who knew the president of the United States was compromised by a foreign power and yet still did nothing.”

    Sen. Bob Menendez found guilty on all counts, including acting as foreign agent, in federal corruption trial

    Sen. Bob Menendez was found guilty on all counts Tuesday in his federal corruption trial.

    Federal prosecutors in New York alleged the New Jersey Democrat accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, mortgage payments and more in exchange for the senator's political clout. Three New Jersey businessmen who were also charged, along with the governments of Egypt and Qatar, were the alleged recipients. Two of those co-defendants, Wael Hana and Fred Daibes, were also convicted of all counts they faced.

    It must feel so embarrassing.

    Teamsters union president calls Trump ‘tough SOB’ in unprecedented speech at RNC

    “Sean O’Brien thanks ex-president for ‘opening RNC’s doors’, breaking with most major unions who have backed Biden”

    I wager that the Democrat’s blue-collar support is bleeding out. I imagine they’re tired of that power hungry cult thieving their money for more boondoggle policies, and all that’s left are panty-wasted and woke soys. That party wants nothing to do with workers anymore unless it comes election time. It’s fun to watch.

    Equally as hilarious are stalwart Republicans, like Trump’s would-be assassin, who have to watch as their former party gets invaded by instagram models and union bosses and the lgbt. Trump is reordering American politics, so it’s glorious to watch the party apparatchiks seethe.

    The United States has not had a draft since 1973. Congress and the president would have to authorize a draft. In the case of a national emergency, the Selective Service will follow this process to draft eligible young men.

    The relevant law in Morrison was the Independent Counsel Act, which expired in 1999. CFR means federal regulations. Regulations are not statutes. Judge Cannon notes there is no such statute that exists today, nor was there one when Garland appointed Smith.

    “Congress may grant authority to the judicial branch to appoint independent counsel without violating the separation of powers, even though the independent counsel are members of the executive branch.”

    I’m not sure it applies because Smith wasn’t appointed by the judicial branch.

    Durham was already an employee of the state, confirmed by the senate. Mueller, however, was not. One of his indictees raised the issue of his unlawful appointment, but it was denied by the DC court. It wasn’t appealed so never made it to the Supreme Court.

    I suspect Cannon’s decision will be overturned in the court of appeals, but instead of the Mueller case, will reach the Supremes where the final decision will come through. No more unlawful appointments.

    If you’ve seen a relationship, and in fact it is all you ever see, what does one look like?

    Florida judge dismisses criminal classified documents case against Trump

    Smith illegally appointed. Why do anti-Trumpists keep violating the constitution?
  • How do you interpret nominalism?

    But you (and everyone else) cannot describe a thing in the absence of relationships.

    for all X
    {
    X=not(Everything else)
    }

    The intrinsic properties, essence or identity of X are irrelevant. X is not what it is - X is its relationships with everything else (what it is not).

    With this in mind - I fail to see how a thing is anything, let alone everything.

    You, a thing, are describing things. You cannot describe a relationship in the absence of things. X is a thing. Everything else are things.

    Less talked about was when Trump rid the GOP of their anti-gay stance, their homophobia, which for me was a pivotal realignment of that party’s social conservatism and neocon agenda into the more libertarian spirit we see today.

    Everyone has a right to contest or doubt an election, unless it was Biden, of course.
  • US Election 2024 (All general discussion)

    They tried censoring him, removing him from the ballot, putting him in jail. They wanted Trump to be assassinated. That much is clear. But now we have to watch their solemn play-acting as they deplore political violence and murder.

    How the desperate lies start.

    Top Democratic strategist pushed reporters to consider ‘staged’ shooting

    In an email Saturday at 7:34 pm that appeared to be addressed to sympathetic journalists, and which was also sent to Semafor, Mehlhorn wrote that one “possibility -- which feels horrific and alien and absurd in America, but is quite common globally -- is that this ‘shooting’ was encouraged and maybe even staged so Trump could get the photos and benefit from the backlash. This is a classic Russian tactic, such as when Putin killed 300 civilians in 1999 and blamed it on terrorists to ride the backlash to winning power. Others who have embraced this tactic of committing raw evil and then benefitting from the backlash include Hamas on October 7. If any Trump officials encouraged or knew of this attack, that is morally horrific, and Republicans of decency must demand that Trump step down as unfit.”

    One side has done so with much greater frequency.

    His party affiliation means little, especially when he donated to ActBlue, according to FEC filings. We all remember when Dems were switching to GOP to vote for Nikki Haley in the primaries. Either way, as groups like The Lincoln Project show, anti-Trumpism is a bipartisan moral panic, not limited to any one party.

    It’s just not as prevalent as the BlueAnon assassination-prepping we’ve received over the last few years regarding the second coming of Hitler.

    I appreciate it, but there isn’t much to this both-sideism. There are close to 8 years worth of anti-Trumpism propaganda to peruse, but just a speech or Fox News segment on the other hand.
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)
    ↪Michael


    So it isn’t really comparable at all. Just some comments.
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)
    ↪Michael


    The sheer number of moral entrepreneurs promoting the anti-Trump cause, along with the combined efforts of the press, makes the moral panic arise in one and not the other.

    Can you find any newspapers magazines or documentaries comparing Biden to Hitler for example? Or anything else outside of campaign propaganda?
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)

    Ok, a YouTube video from the same guy. So no mass media or anything. It almost has 100,000 views since 2020, which isn’t bad I guess.
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)

    I was speaking of propaganda. Maybe you post some. Something comparable to this, maybe?

    What can you show me that’s comparable? Assurance isn’t enough, I’m afraid.
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)

    Both sides are guilty of that, e.g.:

    I think even you will admit that the propaganda in one outpaces the propaganda in the other. The sheer number of moral entrepreneurs promoting the anti-Trump cause, along with the combined efforts of the press, makes the moral panic arise in one and not the other.

    Can you find any newspapers magazines or documentaries comparing Biden to Hitler for example?

    The attempt is the logical conclusion of anti-Trumpism. If you repeat long enough that another human being is an existential threat it won’t be long before someone takes action. It was only a matter of time until the persecution reached murderous levels.

    Yeah, I can’t believe he left after being shot. Crazy.
  • US Election 2024 (All general discussion)
    Watch the spin. They’ve radicalized themselves and their obsequious base into a corner. They’re the authoritarians they’ve been warning us about. Even though one of their fellow panicked brethren committed the act, one way or another this will be Trump’s fault.

    Prosecute their political opponents, excise their political opponents from the ballot, attempt to remove their own democratically-elected candidate from the race, violate the bill of rights and constitution from every corner. Assassination was all they had left. They failed even that.
