Special Counsel investigation of Trump part 2

[bilby]

Honestly, if you want a complacent, content enough population, make sure they have access to good jobs, affordable housing abd health care and day care and good educational opportunities for their families. And roads in decent shape, clean air and water. In other words, security, with hope for the future.

yes, and both rural people and urban people should want this and they should be United in their desire to have political candidates who address these things. And yet it seems that the majority of Republicans are not thinking this way.

I’m quite happy to consider the reasoned political opinions of those whose values may differ from mine but I almost never hear that from the right. Perhaps that is media bias at play, and the voices of those who are reasonable are getting drowned out.

Exactly. Palin came to power by politicizing abortion in a local mayoral race. The Virginia Governor would get to power because of CRT, while the Florida Governor was protecting the people from socialists. Rural Ohio has signs in yards against windmills, and not because of bilby's arguments.

And a lot of Americzns died because they politicized a pandemic emergency.

And this happened world wide, as well.

Yes, within mostly the same alt-right hyper-partisan madness. Brazil, England, US, India... nations with leaders that got to where they were via anger, resentment, and hate.

Around here, mostly as a response to the leakiness of American right-wing propaganda. It used to mostly be contained within your country, but these days it's on the Internet, so it gets everywhere.

It was very noticeable that a lot of the Covidiots here were complaining about the CDC, and Dr Fauci, neither of whom has any role in Australian pandemic policy or response. The very American tone of the opposition to vaccination and lock-downs is a dead giveaway that it's coming, not from Australian concerns, but from American propaganda via Twitter and Facebook.

I would not be completely certain that it actually originated from US sources, tbh.

Yeah, maybe they were talking about the French Dr Fauci.

It's kinda mind blowing but did you know that people all over the world know who Dr. Fauci is?

Or that sometimes, propaganda seeks to disguise where it originates. Or that it's propaganda? Maybe because it's not that honest?

Trust me: I'm not denying that the US has more than its fair share of idiots.

Holy fuck. FOX is interviewing Trump harder than CNN. Maybe I should stop drinking, the world isn't making sense.

Also, @TomC. I'm truly deeply sorry about Rupert fucking Murdoch. We should have castrated that cunt with two rocks "outback style" decades ago.

Yes the full interview was interesting. I can't seem to find it anymore on Fox which I could earlier today.

The Iran thing is interesting because if memory serves, that document hasn't been found.... and it might have never existed. It is possible he lied his ass off over it.

Gotta love how he'll throw any and everyone under the bus for incompetence when he has issues.

But yes, thanks for admitting your guilt on television. Went from an easy putt to a gimme for prosecution.

 

[ZiprHead]

The trial is set to begin August 14th.

I would say likely that he made the whole Iran thing up to impress some poor sucker. He confessed he had a bunch of papers "about Iran and other things" which usually would mean that the one thing the papers were NOT about, was Iran.

The trial is set to begin August 14th.

Scheduled to begin on 8/14, but it won't.

By setting an early trial date is Cannon trying to make up for her past fuckups? Or is it possible that something may be rotten in Denmark?

She's complying with the Speedy Trial Act which says the trial date must be set within 70 days of the indictment. Note: it can be extended.

She has to set a date within 70 days of the charges being files.

Orange Manboy was in typical asinine form on FOX. Pretty good performance if you're a prosecutor. Made me actually feel a pinch of pity for the ignorant slob because I don't know what it must be like trying to function in a society of adults but with the brain of a child. Must be terrifying given the awareness of same. Maybe most of his supporters are similarly affected.

And maybe those supporters just feel sorry enough for themselves and so support the biggest mouth in their middle school world.

Ex-FBI analyst who kept classified info in bathroom like Trump going to prison in KC case

“I cannot fathom why you would jeopardize our nation by leaving these types of documents in your bathtub,” U.S. District Court Judge Stephen Bough said.

news.yahoo.com

A former FBI intelligence analyst from Dodge City, Kansas, who kept hundreds of classified documents at her home, including in her bathroom, was sentenced to nearly four years in prison by a federal judge in Kansas City on Wednesday for violating the same part of the Espionage Act that former President Donald Trump is accused of breaking.

The sentencing for willful retention of national defense information was the first since a federal grand jury indicted Trump earlier this month, accusing him of hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, keeping boxes of documents not only in a storage room but in a ballroom and bathroom as well.

His (our) problem is that he lives in a world where "they let you do it". Because of his wealth and celebrity, real or imagined, he has been able to get away with everything because the people around him enable it. If he had simply gotten the shit kicked out of him the first time he grabbed someone by the pussy, he probably wouldn't have continued to try it. Or gotten put in jail the first time he embezzled from his own charity. Or... or... or...

In latest attempt to save himself from legal jeopardy, Former President Trump announced in front of a large crowd that "he was dead, and you can't charge dead people with crimes."

Trump makes satire harder, but it is still possible.

[T.G.G. Moogly]

We need to stop referring to this douchebag as "former president." Right now he's "alleged felon" and soon to be "convicted felon." And there are many more titles we could apply but that one best fits present circumstances.

I was thinking that too.
Maybe it's "make 'em run fast and perhaps they'll fall down".
