I like Jan 6 better than Kwanzaa. It has a more religious feel to it, and it's so nice to see Democrats trying to have some kind of religion.
Of course you do, and I'm sure that like Ernst Röhm, you'll come to recognize far too late that you were fucking wrong about such things.
You gotta admit, it's pretty funny to see Wordforge's resident poster child for "alleged Christians who really need to go back to their Bibles and read the words written in red a little more closely" accusing other people of not having religion. But then, modern-day Pharisees never do recognize that they're Pharisees.
Nope. I've talked to way too many refugees from places like Kosovo and Sudan to find somebody laughing at the idea of another civil war funny. @Nova has already stated that she knows if it comes to pass that she's DOA. So are a number of other people I know, and given the fact that the majority of my neighbors are from Latin American countries when folks who align themselves with SHERPL's views decide that they're going to "burn out" those folks who are "illegals," I can expect my own place to get torched, I'm rather inclined to find such statements as a threat against me as well. I spent the entirety of the Trump administration checking up on my friends in marginalized communities to make sure that they hadn't killed themselves or had been murdered by some shitstain who thought they could get away with murdering marginalized folks thanks to Trump to being in office. I don't ever want to go back to that. Especially after having witnessed a friend desperately trying to coordinate a search for a trans person who'd posted suicidal comments on FB before disappearing. I'll skip the details and just say that it didn't have a happy ending. So no, I don't find it funny. I find it very fucking concerning and you should too. Because poodle isn't alone in his thought processes and we have a large block of people in power who share his views.
Because it sets a precedent. The rule of law (whatever legal theory may say) is for the little guy. That they weren't necessarily always in the club is irrelevant.
Simple, if the "rabble" can come after even an ex-president and win, then what's to keep them from coming after *US*?
Here's a thing that I can see them doing, which doesn't invalidate your idea, but also allows them to at least appear to be dealing with the problem. The Fulton, GA DA appears poised to charge Trump with election interference. That's not a charge that a President could pardon Trump for, BTW. He gets charged with that, there's a bit of a media circus surrounding the announcement and the trial. The lawyer picked to handle the case is someone who is adept in showmanship, as well as getting witnesses flustered on the stand. The trial is, of course, televised. The prosecutor gets Trump on the stand, reducing him to a gibbering idiot, this costs Trump support. Additionally, while Trump is having all kinds of stress-related freakouts, Federal prosecutors bring charges against Trump for various things and promise that more charges are likely to be added. Trump then, ideally, chokes to death on a Big Mac while having a stress-induced heart attack. CPR efforts fail to save him, and he dies. Problem solved. If Trump doesn't have a heart attack, still not a problem. He goes to jail for election interference, and the stress of being jailed, along with being hauled to court for his other crimes are enough to destroy his reputation amongst all but the most bizarrely devoted followers and give him a heart attack or stroke. They do just enough to give the illusion that they're serious about prosecuting him, without freaking out the rest of the moneyed class that they might be next.
I will point you to this historical document: In all seriousness, if a prosecutor gets Trump to cry on the stand or say something that incriminates one of the other "thought leaders," like Bannon, that'll pretty much end him in their minds.
Yeah. Lindell just said he had the evidence to put everyone in the U.S. over 5 years old in jail for life, and people are still sending him money.
What is rational? Back in 2002 I told everyone to buy gold, they told me I was crazy. Then in 2007 I said there will be a stock market crash and housing will tank, they said I was crazy. People can look at the same set of circumstances differently.
They are hoping he dies or the movement dies, it is but slowly. Also its tearing the GOP apart. The speakership is just the begining.
"Trumpism" is a narrative. That which it platformed pre-existed him and will survive him, it just won't look the same as long as there's no figurehead. But the fascist lunacy is as healthy as it has ever been, even as the man himself recedes under the weight of legal investigations. (I don't hold much hope for the federal investigations because elite impunity has been a thng his entire adult life - but the state/local stuff may yet get him)
On the upside you must be loaded now since you saw those certain financial opportunities coming ahead of time.
We'll see. Jan 6th committee just turned over their results to DOJ a month ago, and there's a special counsel. I don't think we can close the book on Trump getting away with it just yet. I do agree that it should have already been done.
Have you ever seen thatg guy where you work who spends a whole lot of time and effort looking like he is busy working, but he is never actually getting anything done? Maybe people like you do not actually see that guy because you are fooled by his scam. I really do not know why he is not obvious to you, but if they had spent this much effort on convicting him he would be in jail right now. We have spend billions of dollars, and millions of hours supposedly trying to do something about Trump, and he has been charged with nothing. Why do you think throwing some more money, time, and resources on that pile will get us anything more when we have nothing for it?
Absolutely, I was a stockbroker and retired some years ago at 55. I was around here and TK back in those days, people may remember me touting gold and the crash.
