Guest Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Looks like the dam is starting to break. DeJoy's employees were encouraged to donate to Republicans and were then reimbursed. Quote “Louis was a national fundraiser for the Republican Party. He asked employees for money. We gave him the money, and then he reciprocated by giving us big bonuses,” David Young, who served as director of human resources for New Breed Logistics under DeJoy, told The Washington Post. “When we got our bonuses, let’s just say they were bigger, they exceeded expectations — and that covered the tax and everything else.” People are coming out on the record.

The Atlantic's editor-in-chief says his story about Trump calling vets 'losers' is just the beginning cnn.com/2020/09/06/media/jeffrey-goldberg-atlantic-trump-reliable-sources/index.html Quote New York (CNN Business)Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, said his magazine's story about Trump calling Americans who died in battle "losers" and "suckers," was just the tip of the iceberg. "I would fully expect more reporting to come out about this and more confirmation and new pieces of information in the coming days and weeks," Goldberg told CNN's Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter on "Reliable Sources" Sunday. "We have a responsibility and we're going to do it regardless of what he says." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for the party of morality.... Trump encouraged voter fraud? He only did it because he has to because democrats are doing it. Also he doesn't have to.

Varysblackfyre321 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 https://www.wtsp.com/mobile/article/news/nation-world/trump-doe-investigates-1619-project-schools/507-1c142c65-42fd-4501-8003-87965b2128d4 If a lot of people who were arguing ”we can't take statues down, because ”we have to remember our history!” are not outraged at this attempt to whitewash America’s history with slavery in schools, I think they don't really care for remembering history, as much as pretending it's great. Also, cancel culture strikes again! The government is trying to cancel a program that sheds a not so flattering light on the early history of America. I'm certain the many, many reactionaries, who cry the second a US military base’s name is changed from a Confederate general are outraged. Kidding.

Argonath Diver Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 My hometown is near an Air Force base and is very much a war-hawk, flags on all the houses kind of place. My high school social studies teacher thought Teddy Roosevelt was the greatest American, was rigidly insistent that America had convincingly 'won' the Vietnam War, and threatened to have me suspended - literally - if I mentioned Howard Zinn's name in his class, after I brought up Zinn's depiction of our Founding Fathers. His caricature of a personality was a catalyst for me first becoming skeptical about my primary education constantly informing me just how awesome America, and Western Civ in general, have always been. I doubt he is still with us on the mortal plane, but I have to imagine that if he's still kicking around, he is one cranky old SOB about the 1619 Project.

sologdin Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 trying to cancel a program that sheds a not so flattering light on the early history of America. gotta love how this recitation-- Quote they should identify spending related to any training on “critical race theory," “white privilege” or any other material that teaches or suggests that the United States or any race or ethnicity is “inherently racist or evil.” --confirms that they haven't bothered to read the materials that they'd ban.

GrimTuesday Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 16 hours ago, DireWolfSpirit said: We really do need to start prosecuting these Republican criminals once they are voted out. If nothing else it should be a deterrent to their type of behavior that has been allowed to go on unchecked for far too many years now. The system drastically needs to rebalance itself from where we are currently, hopelessly listing like a damaged ship of state. Lock them all up, or at least let N.Y. state convict Trump for state crimes, which I believe they have some jurisdiction over (financial) crimes Trump has committed that he cannot be pardoned out of. Lock him up, it needs to happen. What? That sounds like you're asking for real transformative change, we can't have that! I propose that we start out by telling them they are very naughty boys, we don't want to move to fast, otherwise moderates will get scared. Little itty bitty baby steps will totally get us to a better place, just don't ask me how long it will take because we have to make sure that everyone is onboard, who cares what happens in the intervening half century or two.

Guest Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 19 hours ago, Fragile Bird said: CNN has an advance copy of Michael Cohen's new book, "Disloyal". One of the stories Cohen describes is how, before his presidential run, Trump hired a "faux-Obama" and filmed a video of him belittling and chastizing the actor, and then "firing" him. Cohen includes a picture of Trump sitting at a desk with a black man in a suit sitting across from him who vaguely looks like Obama. Think of how twisted you have to be to do something like that. The link includes the picture. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/05/politics/michael-cohen-book-trump-white-house/index.html It's ironic; Cohen might be the one who ends up taking Trump down. He knows exactly where all the bodies are buried, because he probably buried most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to fail you in this reference, but I have no concept of what this could mean. I could have googled the key words, returning some vague pun or lax comedic refrain, but such an act would taste a lie and deny us this moment of truth. Woe and damnation surely hang about my eaves, cruel and ungracing in triumph. No less than such furies as I have called against foes is due against my inadequacies. Forsooth that these evil days should see mine own reduction, denied the dignity of repost. Such days and workers of days deserve no less than the savoring of despair wrought from my heart in this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
