Not nobodies. Serious players in Republican politics, state senators, someone from the Trump admin. You don't care because you don't care. That's really the issue. The sitting VP brushes it off as, essentially, more "locker room talk." You people are whatabouting it like crazy. Still, nobody can manage to condemn what should be condemned. Defense of the indefensible.

I'm not going to indulge your desperate whataboutism. Nor will I entertain the premise that there is any circumstance in which blatant racism and misogyny are excusable. It's beneath the dignity of decent people everywhere. You can wallow in depravity with your brethren, but I won't be joining you.

Sure, except for the fact that it's the textbook definition of whataboutism. And now you propose that the "context" of racial either epithets and other hate speech might redeem the usage. Because there's got to be some kind of reasonable pro-Hitler, pro-slavery context. 🙄 Look, it's no surprise that these people are exactly who we think they are when they think no one is watching. Sometimes the hood slips. What's always a little surprising--and entertaining--is how eager some of you are to unmask yourselves and jump right into the hot water with them.

I see that whataboutism is the first course. Pretty predictable. You could at least put in the effort to find a better whatabout though. Yes, indeed saying something hateful about one hated foe is VASTLY less offensive than blanket racism, misogyny and other such condemnable sentiment. Doesn't make it admirable, but the stark difference is pretty obvious, you know, if you're not working overtime to defend the indefensible.

Politico Mixed into formal conversations about whipping votes, social media strategy and logistics, the members of the chat slung around an array of slurs — which POLITICO is republishing to show how they spoke. Epithets like “f----t,” “retarded” and “n--ga” appeared more than 251 times combined. In one instance, Walker — who at the time was a staffer for Ortt — talked about how a mutual friend of some in the chat “dated this very obese Indian woman for a period of time.” Giunta responded that the woman “was not Indian.” “She just didn’t bathe often,” Samuel Douglass, a state senator from northern Vermont and the head of the state’s Young Republicans, replied to Giunta. Clearly awful, awful people. Now we get to watch like-minded folks here line up to once again defend the indefensible.

Look at your post to which I replied and then shove "rule #2" right back up your Trump hole. You use Twitter because it's easier than thinking for yourself. Like a kid who thinks copying and pasting Wikipedia is "doing the homework." A (well established) toolbag from Fox said something, another toolbag reposed it on Twitter, you reposted it here as if it is substantive information. Congratulations, you're the bad end of the human centipede.

Eh, that's rich coming from a guy who get's 100% of his information and opinions from the Twitter algorithms--including this thread. You still haven't realized that you are the product, dummy, and you're just farking thrilled to be manipulated. Try again when you have actual information to share.

Sure. They made up a "hoax" and it just turned out to be true. One-in-a-million shot. They sure are lucky! 🙄

Pretty far ahead of yourself, no? It's far from established (and likely to stay that way) that James committed any kind of fraud. Trump, on the other hand clearly did so. It's also pretty preposterous to equate a checkbox in a pile of paperwork with massively overstating property sizes and values. But why don't we see if she even did anything wrong before trying to compare apples to watermelons.

Smarter and more loyal. Huge upgrade.

It's a BDSM dynamic. Subs want nothing more than a strongman to spank them hard and spit in their mouths. Trump is that guy for Canadian MAGA.

It's also about a 4+% bump in home value, so the investment will covered even if they decide to move. Turns out having $0 electric bills is a huge selling point. Just leave the electric bill on the counter while the agent is showing. 👍

I just finished a solar installation at my home. The payback is just under 5 years at current rates--and the rates continue to climb. Great for the environment and for my finances.

I see you're still mainlining the fever swamp juice, but there's nothing new here. Just impotent howling in an effort to deny documented, established facts. Fact 1: Russian intelligence engaged in a an influence operation to interfere in the US election and help secure a Trump victory. Fact 2: Trump's campaign chairman was working with known Russian intelligence officers, feeding them the campaign strategy and internal polling data they needed to effectively orchestrate their influence campaign. And going through extraordinary machinations to conceal those connections and cover all tracks. Those things happened. It's thoroughly laid out in the congressional record, documented in excruciating detail. Those facts are not "made up" intelligence. They have nothing to do with Obama and the CIA. The Republican-led intelligence committee report was released in 2020, FFS. You can pretend all you like that Trump is a good guy and nobody should care that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, but obviously people do care. If they didn't, they (and you) would stop lying about it in an attempt to rewrite history.

Sure, who was actually president over the FBI is just a technicality. Lol And Wray was a Trump appointee, but secretly following Biden's orders. Probably Patel too. That's the only possible explanation. Definitely not gullible MAGA fools blindly following a pathological liar--no matter how unmoored he is from reality.

“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!!" Truth social Do something? To whom is he writing? What does he want them to do?

Crazy that you see independent DoJ and state investigations and prosecutions of actual crimes and unfounded, nakedly political prosecutions at the order of the POTUS as the same thing. These cases are going nowhere. You don't care. All you actually want is for you orange Jesus to be above the law. You are offended that he was held accountable for his actions. And you want the people who stood up to him to be punished. WTF are you even talking about. Sober up and try again when you can string together a cogent reply.

Don't be ridiculous. "The government" being involved is not the same as people in government being involved. Bob Mendez's crimes are not "the government's" crimes. Right? Absolutely those people in government who could be reasonably connected to planning J6 should have been investigated. They don't get a pass just because they in office.

You know, when most people say "smaller government" they don't mean consolidating power to a lone dictator. Executive Power? Who needs Congress when you’ve got a Sharpie and executive orders? Nothing says “small government” like using the DOJ to settle personal grudges. States’ Rights? Federalism is great—unless Portland hurts my feelings. Independent agencies are for losers and suckers. Federal money into the president's pockets? Turns out the Hatch Act is just a suggestion, not a rule. Meritocracy? Nah, personal loyalty oaths, please. Appointing unqualified cronies totally shrinks the government, right?Peaceful (and dignified) transfer of power is such a quaint notion. If you don't win an election, "smaller government" means lying, cheating or rioting your way back into office. Inserting oneself--and dictating the presidential PoV--into arts, education and culture like Chairman farking Mao? Aggressively picking winners and losers in the markets based on political alignment? Actively meddling in science research to force alignment to a presidential PoV. In no way, shape or form is Trump fighting for a classical Republican interpretation of "small government." The truth is that MAGA has watched for decades as actual conservatism continued to lose in the marketplace of ideas. And since classical conservatism can't win the arguments, MAGA was born to force compliance through centralized government power. It is in every way the opposite of a free society and of small government.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but it's a really, really sad deflection from a fact you know to be true: Halligan is objectively unqualified. Time for a little introspection. You know for a fact someone without prosecutorial experience should not be installed as the top prosecutor for a district--which Trump has now done twice, picking his personal lawyers to do his bidding rather than qualified appointees. Children can understand that it's wrong. Dogs can understand it. You understand it. It's entirely indefensible, and there is not even an argument to be made that she is qualified. But you are so farking far up Trump's ass you can't even admit what you know to be true. You have to deflect and defend what you KNOW to be wrong. What the hell kind of man are you? What has Trump given you that was worth your dignity and self respect. Jeebus.

A. I said violent not deadly (though it certainly was deadly) B. Participants are on camera touting the intent to overthrow the government. C. Insurrection does not require "government organizational efforts," but there certainly were multiple efforts to organize and instigate, including the sitting POTUS. D. No matter what you want to call it, any attempt to delay the view certification through violence was illegal--which was your absurd question.

Trump's slavishly obedient real estate attorney, like so many of his appointees, is objectively--and abjectly--unqualified for the job, yet he's entrusted the business of justice for the American people to her. The top prosecutor in the district has never prosecuted a case. And now, with two embarrassingly thin indictments filed, the odds are good she still won't prosecute a case. Both of these cases are likely to be thrown out before trial. That's why Trump's first appointee wouldn't charge either of them. He had to find someone with less expertise and less charcter--someone more like him. What an utter embarrassment to this nation.

Should probably go without saying, but yeah, delaying the vote through violent insurrection is, indeed, against the law.

Does he have access to national intelligence information and did he marry a well known Russian intelligence operative? Because if those two things are true, yeah, probably.

The FBI got the FISA warrant and tapped Page's phone. Page was also meeting with the Russians--and catching the attention of our intelligence services--looong before the FISA warrant. Before he was even on the campaign. Giving them information. Lying about those meetings. And they knew he had been actively recruited by the Russians. It may have been shoddy, corner-cutting, lazy paperwork in that warrant application. That's a fair criticism. But did Page merit investigation based on what intelligence knew about his activities? Absolutely.
