Let's get ready to rumble!

Kind of hard to preach honesty and marital integrity when the leader you endorse has two ex-wives and is a convicted rapist.

I think you forgot to put /s at the end of that.

style99 , to Politics in NEWS: Patriot Front sues left-wing activist who infiltrated the hate group and named members
@style99@kbin.social avatar

The hypocrisy of these groups is showing:

The suit claims Capito joined Patriot Front using a false identity and accessed the group's computer databases to access private information, which he then shared with friendly activists and hackers.

"This confidential information was then widely published and used to harass and threaten the Plaintiffs, with the aim, and result, of doxxing them and other Patriot Front members and causing them serious harm," the lawsuit says.

They do this sort of thing all the time to the trans community.

style99 , to Politics in Trump’s Plan to Save Himself: Scapegoat His Coup Lawyers - Analysis
@style99@kbin.social avatar

“My attorneys had a productive meeting with the DOJ this morning, explaining in detail that I did nothing wrong, was advised by many lawyers, and that an Indictment of me would only further destroy our Country,” the (so far) twice-indicted former president posted to his social media website last week.

I wonder if this sticks. If this does stick, it becomes a huge talking point for him being a weak, ineffectual non-leader. He could actually be throwing himself under the bus, politically speaking.

style99 , to Politics in [Analysis] Vivek Ramaswamy Is On the Rise. So Are Christian Nationalist Attacks on His Religion
@style99@kbin.social avatar

Ramaswamy’s appearance on the Flashpoint show was typically crisp and articulate. Asked to explain his religious outlook by the host, pastor Gene Bailey, Ramaswamy declared that the United States was “founded on Judeo Christian values,” and insisted that, though he is a Hindu, “I share that same value-set in common.”

I do believe the gentleman has been misinformed about the kind of "values" Americans have (drinking and guns).

style99 , to Politics in News: White House slams Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld for saying ‘useful’ Jews survived Nazi camps
@style99@kbin.social avatar

If a reasonable person had made such a remark, they would rightfully be expected to apologize and take some serious time by themselves to reflect on the horrible mistake they had made. Given that this is Fox "News," I fully expect that no such correction will take place.

@style99@kbin.social avatar

An indictment is not the same thing as a conviction. Let's see how they feel after a few of those.

style99 , to Politics in Henry Kissinger at 100: Still a War Criminal
@style99@kbin.social avatar

It’s easy to cast Kissinger as a master geostrategist, an expert player in the game of nations. But do the math. Hundreds of thousands of dead in Bangladesh, Cambodia, and East Timor, perhaps a million in total. Tens of thousands dead in Argentina’s Dirty War. Thousands killed and tens of thousands tortured by the Chilean military dictatorship, and a democracy destroyed. His hands are drenched in blood.

Kissinger is routinely lambasted by his critics as a “war criminal,” though has never been held accountable for his misdeeds. He has made millions as a consultant, author, and commentator in the decades since he left government. I once heard of a Manhattan cocktail reception where he scoffed at the “war criminal” label and referred to it almost as a badge of honor. (“Bill Clinton does not have the spine to be a war criminal,” he joshed.) Kissinger has expressed few, if any, regrets about the cruel and deadly results of his moves on the global chessboard. When Koppel gently nudged him about the secret bombing in Cambodia, Kissinger took enormous umbrage and shot back: “This program you’re doing because I’m going to be 100 years old. And you are picking a topic of something that happened 60 years ago? You have to know it was a necessary step.” As for those who still protest him for that and other acts, he huffed, “Now the younger generation feels if they can raise their emotions, they don’t have to think.”

style99 , to Politics in Trump aims to expand presidential power over "every part of the federal government" with any independence
@style99@kbin.social avatar

I don't normally find myself agreeing with Hasan, but I feel like this bears repeating:

"Be afraid. This is on the verge of happening 18 months from now," tweeted MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan. "Now ask yourself this question: are cautious, in-denial, business-as-usual establishment Dems equipped, or even willing, to address this anti-democratic, autocratic threat?"

This is what happens when you elect Republicans. You aren't a woman anymore. You're property. You can't decide your most intimate health decisions. You're forced to let a man dictate to you, and they aren't remotely reasonable.

I'm sure they were totally relevant to the investigation of his taxes.
