This is exactly why we roll our eyes at so many people from the left as gullible, nonthinking parrots of the dishonest propaganda fed to you. Mindlessly repeating the erroneous bs you hear on TikTok or MSNBC is a poor substitute for informed intelligent thought.
Except I’m willing to bet that not a single person on here peruses either TikTok or MSNBC. And by the way there’s a reason right wing propaganda is a billion dollar industry incorporating numerous social media and cable television outlets…and it’s not because those on the left are consuming it.

I don't know how true it is or if I'm getting details mixed up, but the aftermath of that apparently played a big role in post-war Germany legalizing abortion.
It was encouraged by Soviet authorities. The idea was "Your country launched an unprovoked sneak invasion of our homeland just to steal our land and kill our people. Payback is a MF'er. It'll be so savage and brutal and merciless that it'll be 1000 years before your people think of invading Russia again without twitching and soiling yourself."

LOL - can't make this shit up.
Reading is fundamental. Go back and read his takes. He may lean more left of center but he’s not some far Left loon living in an echo chamber posting MSNBC memes. Strikes me more of a blue dog Dem or a Rockefeller Republican. Not many on this board can claim that as they tend to stick w/ their “team” regardless of topic.

If everyone at Trump rallies are racist ignoramuses, all non-MAGA are bed wetting commies. Painting with such broad strokes makes you liable for some splash back and getting placed on the groomer watch list.

Interesting review of Stormy Daniels testimony. I laughed at this, "Daniels said she blacked out while they had sex:".

This part is a little hard to digest. She's a porn star who makes her living having sex. She said Trump didn't force her to have sex or stand between her and the door while she still had her clothes on, yet she took her clothes off and did the deed. Overall, she had a pretty detailed description of the encounter.

Biden isn't going to like this. The closer to or after the election, the less impact on the election.


I think it depends on when the trial actually happens and what the result is. Obviously it's not going to impact the staunch voters, but it could influence the independents. If they hit him right before the election and the verdict comes back guilty, it could be fresh in voters minds going to the polls. If it happens after the election or it comes back not guilty then it could work favorably for Trump for sure. Of course, the trial itself could be seen as an attack to a political adversary and could garner sympathy but I feel like that's less likely given that it's Trump.

In related news, don't know how legit this is so take it with a grain of salt, but apparently the "Classified Doc" photo may have been misleading and trumped up
https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc72b19e0-6336-4792-8ee9-1c30faeb301b_630x547.png


The DOJ’s clever wordsmithing, however, did not accurately describe the origin of the cover sheets. In what must be considered not only an act of doctoring evidence but willfully misleading the American people into believing the former president is a criminal and threat to national security, agents involved in the raid attached the cover sheets to at least seven files to stage the photo.

Classified cover sheets were not “recovered” in the container, contrary to Bratt’s declaration to the court. In fact, after being busted recently by defense attorneys for mishandling evidence in the case, Bratt had to fess up about how the cover sheets actually ended up on the documents.

Here is Bratt’s new version of the story, where he finally admits a critical detail that he failed to disclose in his August 2022 filing:

“[If] the investigative team found a document with classification markings, it removed the document, segregated it, and replaced it with a placeholder sheet. The investigative team used classified cover sheets for that purpose.”

But before the official cover sheets were used as placeholder, agents apparently used them as props. FBI agents took it upon themselves to paperclip the sheets to documents—something evident given the uniform nature of how each cover sheet is clipped to each file in the photo—laid them on the floor, and snapped a picture for political posterity.
But now defense attorneys claim, and the special counsel concedes, that some placeholders do not match the relevant document. “Following defense counsel’s review of the physical boxes…and the documents produced in classified discovery, defense counsel has learned that the cross-reference provided by the Special Counsel’s Office does not contain accurate information,” attorneys representing Trump’s co-defendant Waltine Nauta wrote in a May 1 motion.

Let's get to the heart of the matter. Why didn't the FBI arrest Trump on the spot for that ugly ass carpet?

Reading that article, if it is accurate, there are a lot of red flags that make you think this was orchestrated.

Because of the way he designated Mar-a-Lago for tax purposes I believe there are really tight restrictions on what he can actually improve about the property. That tacky carpet might be there for a while.

I'm independent.
And yes, Biden is far more authoritarian than Trump. It's not really close.

Both suck.
I'm a Pisces, and while some people may or may not be authoritarians, some people sure as hell like to cozy up to the dudes like Erdogan, Orban and Putin to at least give the impression that they like authoritarians if not want to be one.

Ending oil sanctions on Maduro/Venezuela isn't a good look either, but hey, gas prices....

Donnie yells more, yells louder and plays the grievance card about as good as anyone ever. The pattern, the effect, is undeniable.

Yeah, ‘cause how could a wannabe authoritarian who wants to suspend the constitution and openly admires dictators be a threat to democracy?
First, the US was founded so that no one individual could rule like a dictator. There are checks, balances, and a limit on presidential authority.

Second, Trump was president for 4 years and did nothing outside his limits.

Third, 2014 called to remind you: "I have a pen and a phone." --- Obama

High quality response @SeekNDestroy, as expected.

It’s pointless to argue with people like you. You don’t seem to understand Trump or his plans for a second administration. The only thing I can do is laugh at you.
You do remember all the outrageous predictions and pearl clutching you guys did 8 years ago, right? All the crazy wars and NAZI stuff and ending of the Bill of Rights nonsense and economic collapse. 'Member? You 'member. Your side has screamed about how the sky was gonna fall so many times, and been wrong about all of them. Stop. Seriously, stop with the childish, wrong "It's gonna be the end of the world!" bs if Trump is elected again.

You left out Trump launching nukes on day 1. That was my favorite.

100,000 at a Trump rally in the blue state of New Jersey. Can you imagine Biden or ANY Democrat pulling in 100,000 people at an event? Or ANY Republican for that matter?

Now, you tell me again how Joe “Basement” Biden got 81 million legal votes in 2020. Sadly, if it is declared that Trump is “not elected” President somehow in November things could get very ugly for this nation. People aren’t buying the lie anymore.

In New Jersey, the nations biggest shithole. Fitting.

You made a statement. I countered the statement. You responded with an emoji. If you don't want to dance in the ring, just throw in the towel.

I do know that no president abused his power and acted like a dictator more than FDR and there isn't a close second.

I encourage you to read Project 2025 and tell me that that isn’t abuse of power.

I don't need to read it - Trump isn't going to do it. Trump will be hamstrung just as much as his first administration and I think he is OK with it. I am less convinced today in Trump having real conviction on any particular topic than I was 8 years ago. He is in it for the ride, not the destination. Anyone scared of Republicans making real permanent changes to reverse the pendulum swing is about as delirious as right wingers thinking the Squad is driving policy for the left.
