keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 29, 2022 Please someone tell me how, with all the evidence now public, Trump will not or cannot stand trial? Is US Law that deep in money and corruption that rich, guilty white men get off and poor black people fill US prisons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,310 Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Evidence of the utter stupidity that runs rife among the present shambles wrecking the GOP is well overdetermined. However, it's hard to beat the following for the well contested competition of thickest Republican of the year: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/republican-says-she-d-shoot-her-own-grandchildren-to-keep-them-safe/ar-AAZn1nm?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=9ebf9fca564849dfa0a3d1d9d2cf43e9 Republican congresswoman Debbie Lesko sparked confusion when she appeared to say that she would "shoot her own grandchildren" to "keep them safe". “I have five grandchildren. I would do anything—anything—to protect my five grandchildren. Including, as a last resort, shooting them, if I had to, to protect the lives of my grandchildren,” she said. Lesko made the remark when she took to the floor of the House to oppose a gun safety bill on 9 June. In short, she defends the right to own guns so she can shoot dead her own grandchildren to save them from being shot dead by a stranger. Only in America!

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted July 22, 2022 Its being reported that its fairly certain, indictments aside, that Trump will run again and he won't run unless he wins. So 17 states with Republicans as Governor are preparing legislation that would allow them to overturn results if they believe they were fraudulent. And to that end, Trump supporters are compiling lists of public servants who aren't America First and they will be ousted if he comes to power. The raw videos are out of his 187 minutes of inaction, preparations of statements and calls to aides etc. And they show how bad it really was. And yet idiots like Carlson and Greene say they show Trump in a good light. But 20% of people who voted for him last time think he should be arrested or indicted. The DoJ is wary of indicting him, the Jan 6 committee cannot, for fear of martyring him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve always wanted that, but they wouldn’t let me do it. They said that would be inappropriate.” The Medal of Honor is awarded to servicemen in the armed forces who distinguish themselves by going beyond the call of duty and risking their own lives to advance America’s military operations.

Perhaps he is referring to his "military leadership" during the Jan 6th insurrection, and his noble attempt to "save America". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted July 25, 2022 It seems the print media has distanced itself from Trump recently. Even the NY Post, a Murdoch publication, has roundly lambasted him during the hearings. If Fox backs off then he is in real trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not going to be counting my chickens on that one. I think you're right about the MAGA hard core, Trump could crap on their mother's grave and they would shed tears of joy at his blessing. However, I take hope from the recent public vote on abortion rights in Kansas, which seems to demonstrate that the less vocal in American society are prepared to step forward when faced with the prospect of laws enshrining extreme right-wing bigotry.
