Larry of the Lake Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Just now, Ser Scot A Ellison said: Thank you. I did not know that. If you subscribe to their blog or substack or whatever you'll get all the minute by minute coverage of Trump's imminent arrest in slow motion since it started 7 years ago for only $2.99 a month, that's less than the cost of a cup of coffee. And the updates will be "BREAKING!". They're not quite qanon for liberals, but they're pretty damn close. Darzin and Ser Scot A Ellison 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darzin Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) 14 hours ago, Secretary of Eumenes said: James Comey says what? You people amaze me. C'mere and kick this football Charlie Brown... For God's sake when will people learn? I remember being asked by a friend almost a year ago why I wasn't following the latest Trump hearing that was "surely gonna get him this time!" And my dad called me a few days ago asking if I heard the big news that "they're finally gonna get him! even Trump (a notoriously honest man) says he's gonna get arrested." The fact that so many liberals feel he must be got! Is just a symptom of how liberals are way to used to crying to authority figures to make bad people disappear. (of course they don't literally vanish which is half the problem) The type of liberals who make up the #resistence! are members of the professional managerial class and a guy like Trump in their workplace would have been fired a long time ago. They are so used to crying to HR, Social media mods, university admin to make bad people go away and sanitize their environment. They just know some authority somewhere must make Trump go away. The trouble in a democracy is that the people can bypass the bureaucratic mandarins and the deplorables still get a vote. And Trump is right it is a witch-hunt he's not getting arrested over some bullshit 100k hush money campaign finance violation, but because he's the Emmanuel Goldstein of the Democratic Party. And he probably will get arrested but only in an administrative sense of visiting the police station and then being charged and paying some fine, not getting hauled in away in chains and thrown in a dungeon to appease the mob as both his supporters and detractors imagine. Don't pretend that Trump going to jail for this or that technical administrative crime would be justice, as if everyone howling for him to be locked up cares about these crimes so deeply and just doesn't hate Trump. He always slithers out of whatever jam he's not because he's innocent (which he most surely isn't) but because America is really bad about prosecuting billionaires and the wealthy in general. But like don't pretend the hatred of Trump is cause he committed some minor white collar violations. You wanna charge Trump with something? Charge him with sedition of which he's surely guilty and be done with it. Don't rely on the administrative state to get him on some technical violations in these pathetic appeals to the competent authorities that are never going to work.

Secretary of Eumenes Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Preach! My god, am IIIIII allowed to accuse him of treason? Because I will. I saw it. I saw him tell people to do treason for months on TV and then they did it for him PEOPLE DIED!!!! They TRIED TO HANG THE VEEP Boasted on Twitter that they were after the Speaker of the House!!!! ON TWITTER! AT HIS BEHEST! THEY -and he, Trump himself- LOOKED DIRECTLY INTO THE CAMERA AND TOLD YOU WHAT THEY WERE DOING. Many, many, times!!!! I will accuse him. I do. Seriously, this drives me up a fucking wall. THE MAN DID A BEER HALL PUTSCH AND THEY'RE GOING AFTER HIS WHORE PAYMENTS!!!! So are you allowed to attempt to overthrow democracy then as long as you keep your prostitutes paid up right? Because, not a lawyer, from what I understand he's (lol) "in trouble" for the way the payments were RECORDED rather than the payments themselves. It's -literally- a technicality... You can't make this shit up. I don't think I'm even gonna be mad at the Once and Future President when he announces the 4th Reich in about 18 months. Seriously, at some point I can't hold this... person... accountable anymore if he is never held to account for his crimes His REAL on-televison and predeclared crimes! He's not gonna arrest his fucking self, people! /End rant (I needed that, seriously @Darzin) Darzin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martell Spy Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Justice for Manchin: Senate Republicans closing in on 2024 recruit If the popular governor jumps in, Republicans would break their losing streak in recruiting popular governors and reshape next year’s battleground map in one fell swoop. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/24/manchin-senate-republicans-2024-00088620 Quote Elated Senate Republicans believe they are on the cusp of landing their highest-profile recruit of the 2024 campaign: West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice. Justice, a Democrat-turned-Republican with sky-high approval ratings, is increasingly expected to launch a bid for Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) seat after consulting with top party officials in Washington this month, according to a half-dozen GOP senators and aides. A Justice candidacy would notch two big wins for Republicans, breaking their losing streak in recruiting popular governors and reshaping next year’s battleground map.
