US politics - fried (part 5)

Certainly more than $10m!

I don’t know of anyone who regularly posts in the US politics thread who loves the Dems or Joe Biden. We just accept them as the only alternative as the head of the world’s preeminent power to a truly horrifying political party

Firstly, most of us didn’t say Joe was fine. We said we’d want to see more evidence than one person carrying tales.

Secondly, if you have evidence of Joe Biden being corrupt or dodgy please show it. I’m not personally aware of any. So frankly, comparing Biden to Trump seems pretty partisan and inaccurate.

I suspect just about any president from Reagan onwards has probably done some corrupt ■■■■. The system more or less allows it, especially as regulations become more lax and the corporate money thrown around gets into obscene amounts of money. Quite frankly I’m not sure I trust the character of most people who run for it, these days.

Of course, ■■■■■■ policy is one thing. Throwing tantrums about losing elections and arranging for a coup attempt is, well, something else.

I just wish we set a higher bar for ourselves than “not Trump”.

Seems appropriate timing.

Will be interesting to read the indictment. Seems like a stretch/a bit novel based on that article.

I think if something sends Trump to jail, the Georgia case has the most potential.

BREAKING: Trump is hit with devastating news as over 20,000 Nevada Christians sign a petition demanding that Las Vegas cancel plans to hold a pro-Trump rally featuring Eric Trump, Alex Jones, Roseanne Barr and Michael Flynn on public property.

But it gets even worse for Trump…

The Christian leaders who launched the petition didn’t mince words in a brutal takedown, declaring that Trump and his “Reawaken America Tour” are “some of the worst examples of Christian nationalism today,” and that the “toxic” event promotes “antisemitism” and “political violence.”

But they didn’t stop there, declaring that, “Every ReAwaken America event is a toxic, two-day parade of pro-Trump preachers, MAGA celebrities, and QAnon conspiracy theorists mixing election denial, violent rhetoric, and deadly COVID-19 misinformation with baptisms and praise music — all in Jesus’ name. An event that promotes antisemitism, lies, and even outright political violence should never be welcome on public property. Let’s speak out together now and ask North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown to revoke ReAwaken America’s permits and decline to rent them public facilities.”

The group concluded its takedown by declaring that “toxic nationalism has no place in a publicly owned venue,” and that the First Amendment “doesn’t protect the incitement of political violence nor obligate taxpayers to platform hate speech like antisemitism.”

The numbers turning up to Trump rallies could be wildly overestimated. There was one rally that MAGA claimed an audience of 7k, others saying it was in the low hundreds.

Yeah, I know he’s actually just saying “big league” badly.

Actually, I had no idea that is what he was saying.

DeSantis’ campaign looks to be on death’s door.

249 likes in 12 hours. This guy really cuts through.

Meanwhile Kari Lake is working hard to be an even bigger loser than Trump
