pastabatman , to Politics in Trump Announces Plans to Finally Go Ahead and Prove Election Was Rigged

The last line of that trump tweet in the article was super risky coming from the guy that once tweeted “covfefe.”

They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!

Yeah, by himself. Due to being indicted everywhere.

If he rigged it and still lost, that means he gets a do-over since it wasn't legal right!?

Fatbuddha , (edited ) to Politics in ‘He Kicked Me in My Balls.’ Fight at Michigan GOP Meeting Turns Physical: Report

Fake news the best people tell me Republicans don't have balls, if they did they might stand up to the blatant corruption and descent into fascism that is obviously happening in the gop. I guess we can sum this up by saying if you don't believe physical violence in a chamber of politics is appropriate don't vote Republican. However Brandon is trying to forgive student loans so I don't know who to vote for since both parties are the same.

falsem , to Politics in Trump Privately Frets He Could Be Headed to Prison

Trump’s attorneys like Alina Habba have amplified that bravado. Habba told Fox News’ Shannon Bream last month that the former president was so confident he would be vindicated that he’s not even preparing for his various trials. “If it was a normal person, honestly Shannon, I could understand the concern,” she said, adding that “You don’t have to prep much when you’ve done nothing wrong.”

Never heard a bigger lie about our justice system.

? “You don’t have to prep much when you’ve done nothing wrong.”

this is generally how the rich feel and behave. when you can throw lawyers at every problem, youve already been acquitted on multiple felonies because of your fancy lawyers, of course he thinks hes bulletproof.

he doesnt understand that there might be a limit to the corruption he is using to escape justice.

falsem ,

Yeah, that's the part I was referring to. It obviously requires a huge amount of prep to defend yourself in a criminal case even with lawyers. Most prosecuters aren't in the habit of pursuing cases they don't think they can win.

Don’t know if it can be enforced?

How about don’t know if it’s legal to be on the books in the first place? You can’t restrict interstate travel of a citizen… how is this not a very simple matter of challenging this as simply unconstitutional based on freedom of movement?

Rootiest ,

Challenge it where?

Texas State courts?

US Supreme Court?

Good luck

If the ballot box and the jury box don’t work, it’s time to bust open the cartridge box.

At least we know Texans understand that language.

spaghettiwestern , to Politics in Trump: 'I'm Allowed to Do Whatever I Want' With Classified Info

Trump lied over 30,000 times just in the 4 years he was in office. What’s the problem with a few dozen more?

I’d love to see this vile malignant narcissist pull this shit while under oath.

That we know about. That doesn’t include the lies he tells himself, Melania, the kids, Rudy, etc.

I wish he would instead prove that he can shut his damn mouth, but I guess I'll take further counts of undermining democracy instead.

He is doing this to try and discredit that he knew the election was fairly lost... its not going to work but I imagine that is his lawyers gameplan...

HandsHurtLoL , to Politics in Private GOP Polling Data Reveals Why DeSantis’ Campaign Is Sputtering

TL;DR: It's because his campaign is beating the antivax and COVID restrictions drum, but GOP polling shows that COVID isn't listed in even the top 15 issues of concern for conservatives. Also, DeSantis is somehow boosting Trump's numbers because Trump has managed to play both sides of the vaccine issue with his base.

Good. Let him tank.

fiat_lux , (edited ) to Politics in Former White House Aide Cassidy Hutchinson Says Trump Threw His Food 'Once or Twice a Week'

Archive.today version - but it's also just copy pasted quotes and the YouTube link from book promoter's media release posing as journalism. Please don't give the Kimmel video or this article clicks.

Fuck Jimmy Kimmel too for platforming and enabling amoral grifters.

The Rolling Stone should also reconsider posting PR media releases as articles. I'm sure the delta on the media release vs. final version would be... minimal. They're amoral grifters just as much as Trump, Hutchinson and Kimmel for the same enabler reasons.

But given how toxic the Kimmel work-environment is, it's not surprising Kimmel is buddying up to a piece of shit. Scum collects on the surface like that.

Chaos, Comedy, and ‘Crying Rooms’: Inside Jimmy Fallon’s ‘Tonight Show’ - Rolling Stone, 7th September 2023, the same magazine just under 1 month ago.

Edit: formatting Edit 2: there are too many new-york-based late night tv hosts named Jimmy for me to remember properly. Serves me right.

Drusas ,

You say fuck Jimmy Kimmel, and then you provide a link that's about Jimmy Fallon.

fiat_lux ,

Ah shit, my brain just totally glossed over which late night tv host named Jimmy from New York around 50 who always wears a suit it was. Thanks, I appreciate the call out.
