    Should we talk about how the candidate is too old?

    At an appearance today that was really a doozy, a candidate for president told the crowd that he has never been indicted. Now if that were Joe Biden that would be true. Sadly that wasn’t the case. Then he said to the crowd not to worry about voting because he has plenty of votes. Aaaaand, compared himself to Nelson Mandela who a large part of his supporters if they know Mandela at all he’s the uppity black guy terrorist that should have never been let off Robben Island.

    But wait, there’s more.

    ““U.S.” and “us” are spelled the same.

    Has anyone ever thought of that before? Couple of days, I’m reading, and it said ‘us.’ and I said, you know, when you think about it, us equals U.S. Now if we say something genius, they will never say it.

    Where something genius is the kind of thing that probably has occurred to a bright 4th grader grader and pretty much everyone by middle school.

    Tell me again why we’re taking off our shoes if TSA can’t even spot a firearm?

    Maybe they should pay staff more and not just take anyone as long as they pass the background check.

    3)Unfortunately our former Governor is no longer ambassador. The State Senator better hope they don’t remember the Riots of the early 1880s in China. Tacoma dedicated a reconciliation park awhile back. Although the Manchu government got compensated, none of it went to the immigrants who were the target of the mob.

    Trump and DeSantis are warning Hamas terrorists will try to sneak into the U.S. and wreak havoc here. But don’t worry, CBP is on top of it.

    Any “military-age men wearing military gear and traveling alone at the border,” and wearing “insignias worn by Hamas, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah [or] the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group,” will be detained for questioning.

    In Montana, a down-on-his-luck white supremacist went to a church panhandling for charity. An elderly female black employee of the church handed him a gift card.

    Think about it: A male member of the superior race reduced to begging for money from a black woman.

    He snapped.

    At least he doesn’t have to beg anymore. Now he gets free room and board from the taxpayers.

    Tell me again why we’re taking off our shoes if TSA can’t even spot a firearm?

    Because you don’t have a KTN – Known Traveler Number.

    It’s $78 for five years, and it takes an appointment and an interview. Gets you TSA Pre-check status, which lets you enter a shorter line and keep your shoes on and your laptop in its case.

    Unfortunately for G-clown, the 17 cock and scrotum rings he wears still set off the metal detector. And cause him recurrent anaerobic bacterial infections that turn off his sex partners, who can smell him before he even bends over.

    Ellis wept uncontrollably during her initial hearing this morning entering her guilty plea to a single felony. No time deal. No longer a lawyer. Will cooperate and testify against Trump and Giuliani.

    Nice.

  17. 17

    A big reason these lawyers have all flipped in the Georgia RICO case is money. Once again Trump’s greed fucks the GOP.

    A typical Georgia RICO prosecution can go on for years. Few lawyers will accept these clients without a massive up front retainer. Trump refused to help any of them out with the costs. Nor would any big GOP donors, super PACs, or LDFs.

    @17

    He doesn’t have the money. He could drain that presidential campaign account to take care of it but then he wouldn’t have any money left to throw at losing another election.

    He doesn’t have the personal cash to do it either. Nothing liquid at least. That’s what the NY fraud lawsuit is all about. The house built on fake valuations is coming down.

    Anyone see that new “House of Usher” series on NetFlix?

    Trump tried to hire lawyers on the cheap. Not only were they incredibly bad lawyers, all you had to do was look at Ellis’ past writings about how the U.S. Constitution should always be framed in a biblical viewpoint to know, but they don’t have the institutional loyalty to just take the charge and do the time.

    It’s why I never ever discussed anything important with anyone outside my inner circle who were with me for at least two decades.

    He’s the dumbest wannabe we ever saw. When he wanted to do business with us in Atlantic City we said, “Get the fuck outta here with your chintzy joints. You can’t pay when this goes south and then we’d have you running to the Feds because, you’re a pansy-ass silver spoon baby.” Cedarville University, get the fuck out with that Baptist shit, Jenna.

    17,
    Trump has lots. Lots more than any of the other candidates. His fund raising has exploded since the indictments, gag orders, and now cooperating witnesses flipping on him. The average Republican voter is highly supportive of violent insurrection as a way of obtaining and keeping political power. They view Trump’s legal battles over his various criminal offenses as a very natural part of that effort to seize political power.

    The issue just seems to be that Trump is very jealous of the money raised in his own name, and generally refuses to share. He has offered opportunities for some of these co-conspirators to raise their own money. But Republican donor support for those efforts has been very anemic. It’s Trump they love.

    So they’re going with another election denier as speaker.

    Cool.

    Good optics.

    You know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April.

    “Donald Trump’s attorneys on Tuesday demanded that the former president’s New York civil fraud trial be halted immediately due to a COVID-19 risk that could affect the former president himself as he sat in the courtroom.

    An unmasked Trump watched as his unmasked lawyers asked the trial be delayed due to the risk of infection, but the judge overseeing the high-profile Manhattan trial quickly shot down that request.

    He reminded the parties that if anyone was concerned, N95 masks were available. But for all the hubbub over the “risk,” there were no takers, Trump included.”

    Leaving NATO is a GREAT idea that my hero Donald once had. Also the reevaluate if we want to have a part in the UN. We should just have no role in international diplomacy and I don’t give a rip if someone tries to roll Germany or France. There’s no reason at all we would want to have bases there. We can just fire ICBM nukes at Hamas from subs if we need to do something.

  24. 24

    Don’t lose sight of the rest of the GOP. They aren’t just acting on his behalf. They have an agenda and he’s the glue that holds their voters together for the time being. But the agenda of the clown show that is happening in DC will live on without him.

    They will kill democracy. They will not stop their fascist movement. See @23.

    Defeat them all. Hang them all.

    “’If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges,’ a tearful Ellis told the judge.”

    Bullshit. I don’t believe she’s that blind or stupid. Like all two-bit criminals, she’s remorseful about getting caught.

    The backstory with all these attorney defendants is they’re pleading to low-level offenses that won’t get them permanently disbarred. The big fish (Gules, Eastman, etc.) shouldn’t enjoy that privilege.

  26. 26

    @13 I don’t have to defend this. I’m paid to take risks, and it either works out or it doesn’t. It’s a bet on an unreliable grid, more frequent and destructive storms, very low market penetration, and a monopoly market share. Just a couple years ago, this stock was $500. Not saying it will be again, just guessing that over time it’ll do better than your lowball projection. As for timing the very bottom of a stock, I can’t, nor can any Wall Street analyst, and I strongly suspect you can’t either.

    @14 But the gun wasn’t in his shoes or laptop case, was it? It was in his carry-on bag, which makes your low-wattage logic function irrelevant, as usual.

    @20 “Trump has lots.” Yes, but why would he spend a dime on people who will never be useful to him again?

    Someone who refuses to take care of his underlings’ families while they do time on his behalf will never make it as a gangster. He doesn’t even know how to hire hitmen; they’re all still alive and singing.

    @21 It’s important to remember that Republicans don’t consider blacks full citizens, so black votes are illegitimate, therefore the election was stolen by millions of fraudulent votes cast by noncitizens.

    “He’s the dumbest wannabe we ever saw.”

    Even dumber than the troll? Note the precipitous drop in IQ this thread was hit with @13 and 14.

    Did the traitor finally muster the courage to come here and talk about politics? Only if one believes that talking about stocks and cock rings is talking politics.

    The troll is a wannabe not-a-dumbfuck, but he’ll never see the day.

    Can’t expect much from a coward who routinely drops his trousers and bends over whenever he sees a horse.

    We just can’t do our jobs because of the defunding we’ve been subjected to. We have no idea why (cough cough, just a little teargas) the citizenry here distrust us so much.

    One of SPD’s highest-paid employees was caught napping in her cruiser downtown last year, according to an OPA report released on Friday. An anonymous tipster submitted a video showing Sgt. Paige Maks parked in a busy bus lane on 3rd Ave with “her head tilted back against the headrest and mouth open.”

    Maks, who made $390,000 last year ($91,000 more than Chief Diaz), was reprimanded for sleeping on duty. She violated SPD’s professionalism policy, according to the report, because she could not monitor criminal activity, answer 911 calls, or supervise her subordinates, all of which required her to be awake. The OPA wrote that “the community distrust [her] actions potentially caused cannot be overstated.”

    Of course it wouldn’t be an Independent investigation by the OPA if it didn’t include exonerating language and just a light talking to disciplinary action.

    Regarding Maks’ parking job, the OPA argued that it was inconsiderate but not unlawful, as police cruisers are exempt from city and state traffic laws. Maks’ vehicle was completely obstructing the bus lane, requiring buses to maneuver around her to pick up passengers.

    33,
    Your city is held hostage by a uniformed criminal gang of lazy, incompetent assholes.

    $400,000 to sleep in a bus zone. And she keeps her job. Keeps all of her pay, including the $150/hour she was earning while she slept. The utter contempt they have for their employers is simply breathtaking.

    And you fools voted for more of this. You really did.

  37. 37

    35,

    Facing opposition from Cheeto Mussolini, Emmer has already dropped out.

    The process starts all over again, until Republicans are reduced to vassals groveling at Trump’s feet. They have no other choice.
    Any vote for any Republican is a vote for Trump. And a vote for Trump is a vote to abandon democracy forever.

  39. 39

    $400,000 to block a bus zone and pass out – safe to presume drunk.

    And I just want to point out, once again, that this is a job which, when honestly reduced to its true simplest elements, consists essentially of driving around in an massively overweight over equipped SUV, meeting with crime victims, taking their statements, filing out crime reports, and then passing those reports and those statements up the chain to detectives for follow up. It’s about 99% clerical. The sleeping on the job is an indication of just how stultifyingly boring the routine reallly is.

    It’s the highest paid, easiest fucking public sector job in America.

    And the incompetent shitbirds you put in charge somehow manage to consistently only hire the worst.

    When will the obvious become obvious, namely, it’s going to take some Democratic votes to elect a speaker?

    IMHO, Jeffries & Co. shouldn’t let this go on much longer, or they’ll become complicit in the breakdown of governing. They shouldn’t take a terrible speaker, of course, but they should let it be known they’ll supply the bare minimum number of votes required to elect one they can live with.

    @39 Seattle is short 500 officers. Kinda surprising that people aren’t lining up to apply for a blue-collar job that can pay twice as much as UPS’s top scale.

    Apparently if you weed out the racists, insurrectionists, felons, and Nazis there’s nobody left.

    40,
    The so-called “moderates” in the GOP will all fold.

    I promise you.

    And the simplest explanation for this is that there simply are no Republican “moderates”. It’s all completely fake. And they’ve been telling us as much for decades. Didn’t “Sheriff” Dave Reichert always tell you? He was fake. He sought permission from the extreme conservatives to take meaningless votes whenever it was deemed safe that appeared to be “moderate”. But the reactionary authoritarian fascist beating heart of the GOP could always count on him when it realyly counted. The same is 100% true of every single other “moderate” Republican in the last forty years.

    This is the truth of it. The fake “moderates” will fall in line when they have to. And the fascists wing of the GOP will prevail just as they always have for the last forty years. They will get Jordan or they will get some puppet controlled by Jordan and the rest of the Death Caucus. And when it happens the corporate media, who have always slaved tirelessly in service to the myth of Republican “moderation” will conjure up some idiotic and completely false narrative to explain it all away.

    And the House will be nudged just that much closer to where Trump needs them to be in January of 2025.

  45. 45

    but they should let it be known they’ll supply the bare minimum number of votes required to elect one they can live with.

    They already have.

    The Republican caucus isnt interested. The only thing Jeffries has asked for is some very obviously much needed revisions to the standing rules, especially the profoundly stupid one allowing for a single Florida pedophile to call a vote to vacate the chair. But yes, they’d also like a couple of additional Dems on the Rules committee, and they’d like to make it easier for members of the minority party to introduce amendments and get a vote without the consent of the majority. So far the Republicans have told them to fuck off.

    They would much rather SHITDOWN than do anything even the slightest bit “bipartisan”. That’s why they got rid of Brave Kevin.
    Remember?

  46. 46

    @43 In January 2025 the House will be the one elected in November 2024, presided over by a speaker elected in January 2025. If Republicans expand their majority, it’ll presumably be easier for them to select a speaker. If they lose their majority, as they should and deserve to, their internal troubles will be immaterial to House governance.

    Donors to Jenna Ellis’s legal defense fund want refunds.

    She’s done in politics. Republicans despise her, and Democrats have no use for her. If she keeps her license, she might become a strip mall lawyer doing DUI defense, small-ball personal injuries and personal bankruptcies. Otherwise, I’m not sure what she could do with her homeschool education. Wait tables?

    @43

    You mean like when Reichert voted AGAINST (inexplicably) extending the sales tax deduction on Federal returns in the same way residents of other states can deduct their property and state income tax?

    Just because it was introduced by a Washington Democrat so it was the first tax cut Republicans hated.

    That moderate Dave Reichert? The guy hardly anyone notices is running for Governor because the Byrd guy is the darling of the loony Maga primary voters of Washington GOP?

  56. 56

    It gets worse

    Maks told the OPA that she parked there to deter “high-dollar” vandalism at a nearby restaurant. She and other officers were assigned to an emphasis patrol as part of Mayor Bruce Harrell’s overall strategy to create a visible police presence downtown.

    SPD is so committed to stopping the graffiti, petty crime and shoplifting causing ALLLL the downtown business closures that just sleeping in the car in front of one is a job worth doing.

    The entire force is as useful as an electric cat polisher.

    @48 update: Final results are in for this nationally-watched municipal election.

    In 2021, about 3,400 people voted in this Memphis suburb’s municipal elections. This year, Alderman Gabrielle Hanson, the Super-MAGA, Christian Nationalist candidate with white supremacist militia ties and neo-Nazi friends running for mayor, got 3,322 votes. The long-serving incumbent mayor, Ken Moore, got 12,822 votes. That’s right, turnout was about five times normal, as residents flocked to the polls to keep their city government from being taken over by a divisive rightwing freak.

  58. 58

    @57

    Yeah, the polling models being used thus far for 2024 definitely don’t have a four fold increase in turnout baked into the math.

    The silent majority could be extremely anti-fascist.

    After telling their own members that the conference would take no further votes tonight, resulting in at least dozens of members going home for the evening, the remaining Republicans met in secret and went ahead and voted a new nominee.

    Mike Johnson (R-LA) for about the next twelve hours would be my guess.

    Hey remember when free speech on college campuses for the likes of Jordan Peterson was all the rage among the cancel culture obsessed right wing?

    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s university system chancellor, responding to a push by Gov. Ron DeSantis, directed state universities Tuesday to disband campus groups with ties to the national Students for Justice in Palestine organization, marking the first punishments handed down to colleges here amid the Israel-Hamas war.

    Nothing says fascist quite like forcing groups you don’t agree with to disband.

    Oh for the good old days where the only thing keeping unpopular opinions off campus was the resounding rejection of them by the student body through peaceful demonstration. You mean the Government could have just decreed the LaRouchies had to get the fuck off Red Square at UW?
