    Feds are reporting increase in threats of violence ahead of possible Trump indictment. Hopefully, the recent 1000+ arrests and hundreds of convictions from Jan 6 cases will deter most of these people from actually doing anything.

    HuffPo reporter not impressed with protest numbers this morning in NYC. Nor with the quality of commentary:

    In an effort to carry out "justice" in his state, the Idaho GOP legislature has passed and the Gov has signed the law allowing executions by firing squad in that state. Execution drugs have been scarce as manufacturers have been ending sales to states to use them to kill people.

    Proud to say that Maine has prohibited executions since 1887. Hope it stays that way, and I wish the end of that practice would spread nation-wide.

    Hey, I heard about that too. It's pretty crazy that some people are willing to resort to violence just because they don't like a certain political figure. I'm glad that the authorities are taking it seriously and making arrests when necessary. Hopefully, it will deter others from doing anything harmful. It's honestly pretty concerning to see how divided the country has become over politics. It feels like every day there's a new controversy or scandal. I've been trying to stay informed by checking out this political discussion forum on a social media platform. It's been a good way to keep up with all the latest news and get different perspectives on current events.

    Another of those grifters in service of Trump's "wall". Bannon has been charged in the same scheme, but his involvement is different. He has plead not guilty. This guy plead guilty. Got four years prison, and 25 mil fine:

    I received a text from Marsha Blackburn giving her support to Donald Trump's election bid using God within the body of the text. I do believe many Republicans think their constituents are uninformed.

    13 felony charges for Santos.

    2 more minutes of hate.

    Did you notice that the Biden evidence isn't present in your morning headlines?

    NYT:

    CNN:

    WashPost:

    Fox:

    I just pulled a sample. Four major outlets. If Fox were as biased as you believe, why does it have both articles where the others only have one?

    Are you the one actually misinformed? Why don't these other outlets have both articles? Are bank transfers clear evidence of Presidential corruption?

    You focus on Santos though.

    Here is the update from the house oversight committee. The amounts seem to be significantly more than the two counts of $564 in the Santos indictment. Your media only addresses one story of money laundering. How strange.

    Santos pleads not guilty, says he will fight "the witch hunt" (sounds familiar). Even says he will run again for office (also sounds familiar). I don't think this looks good for George.

    Media says connection to President not established by House committee. Those payments were to members of the President's immediate family, not him.

    I don't think this looks good for Joe.

    Who needs Santos, with 13 criminal charges against him, to stump for MAGA when CNN lets "Caligula" stump for himself for an entire hour?

    Seems like CNN let Trump's hirelings select the audience.

    I hope the FEC counts it as a campaign contribution.

    I can't believe this:

    Giuliani accused of selling pardons (for Trump) and forcing a woman to have sex and work in the nude.

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b2339652.html

    Fake news?

    You lap all the other stories up.

    Thomas and Kavanaugh are rapists and harassers, I recall you believing. How many Kavanaugh accusers recanted? You read unbiased media, right?

    Trump is too, you would have us believe. Which billionaire funded her suit (resulting from a change in law written specifically to allow that suit)?

    The billionaire NYC real estate mogul who dates supermodels found this woman so irresistable he raped her in a dressing room? Have a look at an Elle piece.



    Strangely, Tara Reade and her accusations about a certain politician are never brought up (let alone believed).

    The Giuliani story is actually absurd enough to bolster its probability though. The funniest outcome is often the most likely.

    "U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta today sentenced the leader of the right-wing Oath Keepers organization, Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, to 18 years in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release. In November a jury found Rhodes guilty of seditious conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, and tampering with documents and proceedings, for his role in organizing people to go to Washington in January 2021 and try to stop the counting of the electoral votes that would make Joe Biden president.

    Rhodes told the court that his only crime was standing against those who are “destroying our country.” He says he believes he is a “political prisoner” and that he hopes Trump will win the presidency in 2024. “You are not a political prisoner, Mr. Rhodes,” Judge Mehta said. “You, sir, present an ongoing threat and a peril to this country and to the republic and to the very fabric of this democracy.”

    And yet, former president Trump has said he would not only pardon the January 6 offenders, but would apologize to them for their treatment by the government. Today, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who yesterday announced he is running for president, said he, too, would consider pardoning them, promising to be “aggressive in issuing pardons.”

    Well, as anyone who has read the many posts in this sub-forum knows, it is impossible & virtually unheard of for a judge to be wrong and/or unduly influenced by political ties or related favors.

    I understand, Seney. It wasn't for what the judge said, but what actions Trump and Desantis are considering.
