Let’s talk about Trump’s effort at criminal justice reform. Why doesn’t he ever talk about the First Step Act anymore? https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/01/trump-republicans-first-step-act-00029104 Trump’s criminal justice reform bill becomes persona non grata among GOPers When Donald Trump signed a long-sought criminal justice reform measure into law in 2018, he had visions of using the legislation to make major inroads with Black and moderate swing voters. The First Step Act was not just hailed as a rare bipartisan achievement for the 45th president but as the beginning of a major shift in GOP politics, one that would move the party past the 1980s tough-on-crime mindset to a focus on rehabilitation, racial fairness and second chances. Three-and-a-half years later, few Republicans — Trump included — seem not at all interested in talking about it. With spikes in crime registering as a top concern for voters, Republicans have increasingly reverted back to that 1980s mindset. Talk of additional legislation has taken a back seat to calls for enhanced policing and accusations that Democratic-led cities are veering toward lawlessness. Trump himself rarely, if ever, mentions criminal justice reform when he issues statements or gives political speeches, having grown convinced the First Step Act never produced the spike in support from Black voters that he expected.

Yeah, there’s time. They’re going to be doing polling to test the prospective candidates in all the crucial states. I don’t know who will ultimately get the nod but I trust they’re doing their due diligence and I’ll be happy with whomever they choose.

Bunch of big fat old white women.

That would be the Project 2025 that he knows nothing about.

Yeah, where were you, Gunther?

And since Biden stepped down it’s only gotten worse. Not Mike Johnson and not an impeachment inquiry but close enough. The Trumpublicans are just too predictable. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4788663-andy-ogles-impeachment-articles-kamala-harris/ Tennessee Republican files articles of impeachment against Harris Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) filed articles of impeachment against Vice President Harris on Tuesday, as Republicans ramp up attacks while she launches a presidential campaign. The filing expands on previously introduced articles that target Harris’s record on immigration, a GOP rallying cryagainst the vice president. He added a second article in the new filing, which claims Harris covered up President Biden’s mental well-being, constituting a “breach of public trust.” While Biden ended his reelection campaign Monday, he has maintained that he will finish his term and is in good health. “Kamala Devi Harris has knowingly misled the people of the United States and the Congress of the United States, principally to obfuscate the physical and cognitive well-being of the President of the United States, Joe Biden,” the filing reads.

They won’t take shit. It’s Biden campaign cash, it’s Biden/Harris campaign cash. She’s already on the ticket. It’s her cash.

He’s a narcissist and a sociopath. He’s not hard to figure out. He’s incapable of change.

It’s not 5318008?

Why do they want to see.Bannon? To receive instructions?

One in 2015 and another in 2016 was what I heard on the news tonight. They said that won’t prevent you from being a cop in Illinois. Maybe it should.

I can’t think of any examples. I can only recall him saying it about women, and women of color more often than not. That’s why it was such an easy prediction.

That didn’t take long. Trump cleared that hurdle today during a press call at Mar-Lago: “She was by far the nastiest to Joe Biden. I was so surprised that he took her,” Trump said. “There was nobody nastier than her. She played the race card at a level that you rarely see, and she really was very nasty to him, and then he picked her. So I don't get that exactly now. They act like they're great friends, but you don't really recover from that.” https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/23/donald-trump-commits-to-a-debate-calls-her-kamala-harris-radical/74517983007/

Also pardoning a lot of criminals.

Username checks out.

He could get a laugh out of Jeffrey Epstein, though.

Kamala should look into doing an ad or a press event with Yusef Salaam, the exonerated member of the Central Park Five who is now a councilman in NYC and for whose execution Trump once advocated…and then refused to apologize when he was found to be innocent. Trump has even argued that they’re still guilty despite DNA evidence to the contrary and a confession by the actual perpetrator.

But Trump hates Little Marco and doesn’t trust him. Vance has become a true MAGA sycophant. Trump values loyalty above all else and Vance is a shameless cock gobbler.

He’s the most tedious and exhausting man the world has ever seen. No one has ever exaggerated every single little thing more than he does.

Rookie move not to burn that thing.

She’ll need to find a good AG.

Here’s the video. It’s outrageous. The shooting happens at 14:19. The cops are pretty condescending and talking down to her the whole time. Very disrespectful. I don’t know if she had any mental issues but some of the things she says are sort of strange. These guys obviously aren’t very well trained. I don’t think “Are you okay mentally?” is an appropriate question. Anyway, at one point she goes into the kitchen to tend to a pot of boiling water on the stove. The cop moves away, she asks where he’s going, and he says “Away from your hot, steaming water.” Okay, I’d say he’s being kind of a pussy maybe that’s what she was trying to tell him when she replied, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” That really set him off. It looks like that’s what triggered him, like he thinks those are magical words with real power. He responds, “You'd better fucking not! I swear to God, I'll fucking shoot you right in your fucking face!” He draws his gun and orders her to drop the pot of water and then BLAM, BLAM, BLAM! It all happened so fast. He was screaming at this little old lady. There’s no way she could’ve figured out that this fucking meathead was about to fucking kill her. Fucking pigs. YouTube won’t let me embed the video.

You mean the Mercers. They picked (and bankrolled) Trump. They were the connection to Bannon whom they were also funding through Breitbart. Miller came along with Jeff Sessions.

Obama called Trump a “bullshitter” which was on the nose. That was t the only time he’s been critical of Trump, of course. https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-joe-biden-donald-trump-politics-virus-outbreak-f928ebb315d4dd1d3ecdffdc4592dda0 Yeah, you said presidents. I listed presidents and presidential candidates. All of the GOP presidential candidates (other than Bob Dole who also did work for Russia) have been critical of Trump. Trump is such a vile, wretched, unqualified threat to American constitutional democracy that he doesn’t deserve special courtesy. Dubya’s silence is neither noble nor typical. More like cowardly.
