From the Judge presiding over the case. “Democracy will prevail. Our system of law will prevail. Because without democracy, without our law, we are nothing more than any other failed state in this world, run by the loudest of voices with the worst of intentions — the mob who thinks they know what justice is without any regard of the facts, or worse.” Bolding added. I think this perfectly describes the cancer that the Trump Cult represents.

It’s funny how every now and then I reach the point where I think nothing the right wing media does can shock or disgust me anymore…. And I’m always wrong. For years and years we’ve heard nothing but ‘back the blue’, ‘blue lives matter’, flat out dismissals of any complaints about systemic racism or other failing in Ferguson, Kenosha or anywhere else no matter how many people complain. Even defences of flat out murderers like Chauvin. Now they’ve gone after the Chosen One and a Fox host is on air saying “We all know these guys lie and plant evidence for a living”. So why has he never given a single flying fuck about that before?

Steve Bannon's request for a new trial is rejected by federal judge

A husband and wife were golfing when suddenly the wife asked, "Honey, if I died would you get married again?" The husband said, "No sweetie." The woman said, "I'm sure you would." So the man said, "Okay, I would" Then the woman asked, "Would you let her sleep in our bed?" And the man replied, "Ya, I guess so." Then the wife asked, "Would you let her use my golf clubs?" And the husband replied, "No, she's left handed."

Why? Truth be known, they did it for you. That's right, you are that critical to the process of putting Trump away. Why? Because you, and the millions like you who still check under the bed each night before climbing in, need a little cosplay and sweet soda to take your medicine. By spreading out the evidence in front of FBI witnesses and photographing it on carpet so gaudy that only Trump and Bert and Ernie's grandma would like it, and alongside Trumps personal, narcissistic, Time Magazine mementos they create a credible chain of evidence. Just like taking his passports from the desk drawer where other classified documents were found such things tie the evidence to the perpetrator. That connective tissue, by way of analogy, is the big thing the fuzz need to do to tie a guy to the dime bag and vial of pink hearts laying on his coffee table. The hope was that instead of coming unglued even people like you, and the jury to come, would be able to see the traitor in the perpetrator. See there? It wasn't that hard at all if you can just stop for a single second to think about it.

Trolls don’t need a point. Their purpose is just to elicit a response.

Thank Nixon for the switch, enthusiastically embraced by Reagan.

The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, a member of the United Nations and recognized by the United States and the international community as a sovereign state under international law, and the United States of America are committed to working together to reach a comprehensive and sustainable peace agreement that ends the war in Afghanistan for the benefit of all Afghans and contributes to regional stability and global security. ... The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the people of Afghanistan reaffirm their support for peace and their willingness to negotiate an end to this war. ... The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan welcomes the Reduction in Violence period and takes note of the U.S.-Taliban agreement, an important step toward ending the war. ... Source is the 2020-02-29 "Joint Declaration between the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the United States of America for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan" https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/02.29.20-US-Afghanistan-Joint-Declaration.pdf Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think Biden had taken office yet.

Jo Weber: "and then I remember Duane took me to this Indian Reservation where he said he grew up. It maybe started with a Y. I said 'Duane, you never told me you were Native American!' He said he had lived there until about 1972.”

Trump didn't use his own agreement with the Taliban (you know, the one where he shut out the actual Afghan government) because he knew it was shit. He knew full well the Taliban would take over (nobody knew how fast that would happen). Trump knew full well that the US would look like shit during and after the withdrawl. He knew full well that we'd leave behind a bunch of Americans, Afghans who would be in danger because they helped us and a whole lot of gear (mostly junk, but still "American Equipment left to the 'terrorists'). So he deliberately set up Biden to be in office when it happened. Look at how the Trumpettes went ballistic blaming Biden for Trump's withdrawl agreement. One of the few things Trump is actually good at is dumping blame on other people.

Remember before woke was a thing and “tolerance” was the subject of the Republican’s irrational rage? “You can’t call yourself tolerant if you criticise my bigotry in any way!” Yep, Brent clearly remembers those days.

Anytime somebody teases like this, and then says something like "if you want to know the rest, sign up for my whatever or purchase my whatever", you immediately loose credibility. From the little I have searched up on Chael Sonnen, this isn't something new. He has been saying this for at least 4 or 5 years right? Yet, somehow still never tells who it is. So he is basically saying it is a family friend or more specifically his dad's friend. So either: 1) He really knows who Cooper is 2) He really thinks he knows who Cooper is, but is wrong 3) For some reason, not entirely clear, using the case to get something out of it...like more subscribers or whatever. Not sure if you have to pay for his "subscription" or not. Which is it ? Parrot posted the following video about a year ago. In the video, he is embarrassingly loose/inaccurate on some of the most basic details of the case, things like: - "bomb in his bag" instead of brief case. This mistake is almost the equivalent to saying that Santa Claus uses a hot air balloon or even skis to deliver his presents --how do you get this wrong? - and even more egregious "while they are up, he parachutes, they don't know he has a parachute" So right there, he looses me...how can we believe anything he says after that ? Not to mention the "if you want to know more, sign up for my subscription" shtick. He does seem to believe what he is saying...

Domed RDS for Odysey 100 odi.mp4

Yeah, WRT the low class foul mouthed stuff and the idea that he was more of a clown and that he knew just enough to get himself killed as well as the overly confident assertions that he was dead...I always thought that it was a calculated strategy to appeal to the hijackers ego and get him to make a mistake that would lead to his capture.......or they knew something that we didn't regarding his behavior. BTW, no disrespect to anyone who is in the camp of him dying that night, he certainly may have. Now...I like my ceegars with a glass of bourbon...paleez.

I dunno guys, personally handing out thousands of ideological pamphlets to minors in order to "enlighten" them sounds like grooming to me...

Look man, Slim’s just a guy driving around Florida high schools with a car full of 13000 constitutions. There’s no need to put labels on things here.

The C-124 "loadmasters" would in all probability be career USAF personnel in the grades of E-5 or E-6. In addition to kicking things out of the aircraft, they would be responsible for loading the aircraft and making certain that the cargo was properly secured, and that the aircraft center-of-gravity was in the correct range. While 32 was not too old to be a kicker in the Korean War (the Korean Armistice was signed in late July 1953), Cooper was apparently a few years younger than that but would still fit in with the correct age range.

Agreed. The FBI’s own suspect profiles within the 302’s speak to quite the opposite. They say he was educated and not working class. They speculated he was probably used to working as an executive who had a secretary take notes and run errands for him in the past (never liked that speculation since that seems lazy). You get the sense reading the suspect profile that when Cooper served in the military he was probably a junior officer, not a grunt.

The boss wants results. Otherwise there are those hospitals with the ejector beds. Da we destroyed 10 more HIMARS yesterday.. Our intelligence is that the fascist American swine has supplied the Nazi Ukrainians with 1854 HIMARS. Of course the lying American NATO swine only admitted to a few dozen.

same.. DR. Edwards has done a stunning piece of work that has real depth.

Yes it was staged… and they said it was staged. It was staged to show a quick snapshot of the type of documents they were finding, not to fool anyone into thinking that’s how they were found. So I honestly have no idea what your point is.

Or you can believe the truth. This picture was created by the FBI the same way that pictures of evidence are taken in almost every case ever prosecuted. It is a typical practice for law enforcement to place the evidence in viewable form to capture a photo just like, this with an evidence marker and a ruler for scale. The FBI did not in any way claim that this is the way the documents were found. Quite the contrary, they made it clear that they found this evidence of a crime in various locations. Ever see a photo after a drug bust, you will see drugs, guns, cash and other objects all on a table or floor, just like this with an evidence marker and ruler. I am sorry that you are having trouble understanding this.

The FBI, in their statement, said these documents were removed from a box that came from random places in the Trump residence at Mar a Lago. They were showing that, in fact, they were real documents, but not indicating that's how they were found. Yes, some people took it that way. Some people (who shall remain nameless) even spread that implication, thinking it funny. Kind of like how some people took the "Obama was a Muslim born in Kenya" and ran with it. Wendy P.

It’s fascinating seeing the Trumpers who jumped on the student loan forgiveness as work of Satan now trying to defend the PPP loans to GOP congresspersons that were forgiven as somehow different and OK. The weaseling is terrific.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 in PPP(Payrol Protection Plan) loans forgiven. While she appeared on FOX critizing President Biden and democrats for giving aid to struggling students. Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) got $5.5 million in federal crop subsidies. He voted against the plan. Congressman Kevin Hern had over $1 million in PPP loans forgiven. He tweeted "To recap, in the last two weeks, the "Party of the People" has supercharged the IRS to go after working-class Americans, raised their taxes, and forced them to pay for other people's college degrees." Congressman Vern Buchanan had over $2.3 million in PPP loans forgiven. He tweeted "As a blue-collar kid who worked his way through college, I know firsthand the sacrifices people make to receive an education. Biden’s reckless, unilateral student loan giveaway is unfair to the 87 percent of Americans without student loan debt and those who played by the rules." Congressman Markwayne Mullin had over $1.4 million in PPP loans forgiven. He tweeted "We do not need farmers and ranchers, small business owners, and teachers in Oklahoma paying the debts of Ivy League lawyers and doctors across the U.S. This places undue burden on those already suffering due to the weight of Biden’s failed economic policy." I could go on through the GOP senate and the GOP House. But its more of the same.

Stroke of genius to wait until the (R)s started whining to expose the hypocrisy.
