It's just so depressingly familiar. A minority getting uppity and demanding to be treated like "normal" folk? Lock up your wives and children, they're gonnae shag ye! Meanwhile, don't ask who kids and women are more likely to be abused by, by quite some distance... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 With a population like this, I reckon Trump is a shoe-in to regain the Presidency... "American's belief in angels (69%) is about on par with belief in heaven and the power of prayer, but bested by belief in God or a higher power (79%). Fewer US adults believe in the devil or Satan (56%), astrology (34%), reincarnation (34%), and that physical things can have spiritual energies, such as plants, rivers or crystals (42%)." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-belief-angels-poll-devil-b2384233.html Folk will believe anything.

Granny Danger Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Trump saying that Congress should not support any further aid to Ukraine unless the White House ‘cooperates’ with requests for information relating to Hunter Biden. He’s also saying that GOP Congressmen who don’t support this approach should be challenged in the primaries. The ‘mob boss’ comparison could not be more accurate. How did the Republican Party manage to get themselves into such a mess that one deranged individual is calling all the shots? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, after being blatantly Anti-Jewish became less fashionable, they moved to Anti-Communiust (plus tossing any of those uppity Black folks into the Communist category, extending the usefulness) as the preferred external threat. After the fall of the USSR, they needed a new bogeyman, and found it in the “Illegal Immigrants”, a dying bonus from the Soviets political involvement in Central America. That all morphed into the War on Terror and has now slid into the Anti-Marxist/Anti-Liberal bent of the Republican Party. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Trumps leadership PAC (Political Action Committee) now shown to have spent over $40,000,000 on legal fees for Trump and related defendants in multiple court cases. Seems to be clear this campaign is as much about raising tax free money to pay lawyers as it is about running for President. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her defence in the latest indictment of conspiring to destroy/withhold evidence is that said evidence was eventually handed over so everything’s OK. That must be work $2,000 per hour minimum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a cracker. Wish I had the balls to try it. "Yes, I robbed the bank, but I returned all of the money I stole as soon as I heard the police sirens outside my house. I don't see why I'm still being prosecuted for this." 1 hour ago, DA Baracus said: This piece of shit dead yet?

Ignoring that restriction could lead to contempt proceedings. I hope he ignores the restriction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) I’m assuming Giuliani is one of the six unnamed co-conspirators. Sidney Powell another? ETA a John Eastman another? Edited August 1, 2023 by Granny Danger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
