Here come the family Pardons. I would say campaign fraud on this scale is unheard of, but I kind of feel like anyone who donated to the campaign gets what they deserve.

 

The world needs to be reminded daily that accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. Every fuckstick who gets pardoned should be referred to as an admitted felon every time they are mentioned anywhere.

Example excerpt from future Biden speech: "My Attorney General will be appointing a special prosecutor to investigate former Sec of State and admitted felon Mike Pompeo...." 

Example NYT headline a few months from now: "Admitted Felon Donald Trump Junior ODs on Cocaine and Krocodil Drug Cocktail"

etc etc

But it was around then. You guys know “America First” was a thing then. So were conservative racist broadcasters. Father Coughlin anyone?

We were at each other’s throats until we found a good lot of external enemies to unite us.

Yeah there was a fair amount of government propaganda baked into the news reports in those days. And the number of avenues to consume "news" were certainly far far fewer. Now any fuckstick can broadcast their world view if they can succeed in capturing an audience. Much easier to do these days. Its an interesting contrast in how information is disseminated and consumed between these two eras.

Even if you write a thankyou note praising the president for his good looks, brilliant policies, and basic winnerlyness? Wienerlyness?

What if the pardon has a Sharpie addition that says, "More innocent than people have ever seen before!!!!!" ?

I agree with you on this point. I also think that while the WWII generation did a lot of mighty things, and are well worth admiring,
this strain of “muh freedumbs” is not new to American politics. They had their share of assholes to deal with right here at home. I mean there was an American Nazi Party for Pete’s sake. Selfish assholes have always been around blowing smoke up each other’s asses about how patriotic and awesome they are.

This.  Shitbaggery exists.  Its ability to be spread far and wide, and have huge groups get massive self-feedback on it, is new.  That's the change.  Speed of information transfer, and ability for the like-minded to self-select their information sources to reflect only their preconceptions.

Who thinks DT will win the GOP nomination in '24? 

I don't know if he'll actually run.  Probably depends on how his financial situation plays out over the next four years.  If he does run, I don't think he'll get the nomination.  His formula worked in '16; it didn't work in '20.  Politics seems to move on from its losers pretty quickly.

The GOP leadership, the actual leadership like Mitch, etc., is watching Trump divide the GOP and trying to destroy Republican leaders in Georgia as we speak (he was tweeting about it this morning).  And that's even before we get into the fact that this is impacting Senate races that could give the Senate to the Dems.  This is not what the GOP leadership wants - it's supposed to be the Dem stumbling around, putting each other through purity tests.

Privately, many Republicans have got to be pissed at Trump for dragging this shit out, and motivating people to vote Dem *AND* because of his shenanigans (going after other Republicans), he's giving the Dems time to regroup and get their shit together in a few areas.

Hell, the Georgia races are partly about Republican vs Dem, but Trump is still fighting the November results and accusing Georgia Republicans of helping rig the election, which could depress Republican turnout.

If the Georgia races flip next month, it'll be 100% because Trump is actively sabotaging Georgia's Republican leadership.

So?

There's not a goddamn thing they can do about it.  It's his party now, not theirs.  It's out of their fucking hands.

Ha, I wonder if we should look into Pence's family emails. Right?

From the Kushner shell company campaign corruption

Quote

Jared Kushner approved the creation of a shell company that operated like a “campaign within a campaign” and secretly funneled millions of dollars in campaign cash to Trump family members, Business Insider reports. The company, American Made Media Consultants Corporation and American Made Media Consultants LLC, took more than half of the Trump campaign’s massive $1.26 billion war chest and was largely shielded from having to publicly report financial details. However, a source told Business Insider that Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump was the company’s president, Vice President Mike Pence’s nephew was its VP, and Trump campaign CFO Sean Dollman was treasurer and secretary.

The mysterious company caused consternation among other campaign staffers, who had no idea how it was spending money, and the Campaign Legal Center filed a civil complaint with the FEC in June accusing the Trump campaign of laundering $170 million largely through it. A campaign spokesperson denied that AMMC paid Lara Trump or Pence’s nephew for being on its board.

They need his voters. That's all that matters.

I had a friend, who has never been on a military base, let alone served in the military, explain to me that the military mail in voting is done in a very strict manner, with officers and NCOs watching over everyone to make sure that there was no hanky panky.  According to this genius, the unit gets everyone's ballots, sits everyone down at the same time to fill them out, takes them all up, checks them for completeness and correctness, then sends them all back at the same time.  He couldn't tell me how he knew this, it just made the most sense to him.

As someone who was in Afghanistan during the 2008 voting, that was not my experience.  Half the people didn’t give a fuck, the other half filled it out when they had a minute and gave it to the xo or whoever and they did who knows what with it.

There wasn’t much formality or great importance placed on it.

If it's looking like he's going to cost Mitch control of the Senate, that will change.

Right now, he's a useful idiot for the GOP, but his usefulness is coming to an end, especially with attacking Republican leaders in Georgia, a crucial state.

He's been a useful idiot.

But he also controls a voting block the GOP can't do without.

 

The GOP.  They fucked around.  They found out.  And now they're in it and there's no going back.

When they invited the Dixiecrats and Evangelicals in they jumped the shark. Question was, how long?

probably been asked and answered already, but ... supposing this dipshit does pardon his dipshit spawn(s?), would that render them ineligible to run for public office?

Does this mean we’re gonna have a Space Academy now?

They're currently looking for a permanent headquarters for the U.S. Space Command for our Space Force Guardians. The finalists are Redstone Army Airfield (Huntsville, AL), Port San Antonio fka Kelly AFB, Patrick AFB (next to Cape Canaveral), Offutt AFB (Omaha), and Peterson AFB (Colorado Springs) near the Air Force Academy...so maybe?

That's just it. Trump doesn't have to control it all to control it all. The GOPs are stuck. They got out-villained and now mushroom dick holds the keys to the Hate Engine.

There's something else I'll throw out there, but let's recap:

Trump was/is in bed with Russia and Ukraine.

Russia and Ukraine poured money into GOP through the NRA  prior to Trump's nomination. Why would that be the only avenue they used? I suspect it's just one not the one conduit. Why wouldn't the GOP be floating in bad money?

Recall the tape of Ryan and his House collegues yukking it up about Russian influence and money.

The GOP thought they were bullet proof. They could take money from anyone and break any rule because they had Gerrymandered the nation into their own little Duchy. Greed Only Party/Grasp Onto Power party. Things look swell. They've even got a propaganda arm.

Oooooops. Donald Trump sees an opportunity to make some cash. He dips his hand into the trough and discovers the deed to the trough. He controls access and learns where all the bodies are buried. He drinks their milkshake. He drinks it up.

And here we are. They couldn't even cheat Donald in for a second term. They can't sue his ass into the White House. So where does the Greed and Power Party focus their efforts if power is slipping away? Yes. Yes, indeed. They focus on greed.

Trump could not bilk the entire decadent GOP of a billion buckareebahs. No. We'll find that money splashed everywhere.

What the GOP endgame may be is to leave Donald holding the bag as the mega-villain as they slip out the backdoor excercising their court connections, sympathetic white powerbroker connections, and wealth to stay out of jail. 

The GOP is nothing if not ruthless and strategically ept. Trump, the biggest whale, attracts the harpoons. He can rant all he wants, but he's a known liar. What will his accusations mean to the mainstream? Nothing useful.

Rich white people will determine that basically decent rich white people such as Mitch, Justice Kavanaugh, Paul Ryan, and a shitload of Senators shouldn't be thrown in Federal PINTA Prisons with the negroes and Italians. No, an ankle bracelet here, a discrete pardon for pay there, and a lot of coming to Jesus and tearful atonement.

I think Donald takes the heavy fall. The GOP knows the jig's up. It's time to fight rear guard and save as much of the army as possible. Hold the Senate a while longer if possible, but make plans for bad days.

They can sooth themselves in the knowledge that they've paved the way for the USA to decline as a republic. Well done. Barry Goldwater would be so proud of you!
