OFFICIAL LRC President Donald Trump SECOND TERM Thread

Did I see they even did a Perp walk with this guy? Sheesh.

If we end the filibuster, then the next time we have a Dem POTUS with Dem majorities in the House and Senate, DC and Puerto Rico immediately become states.

Do you really want to end the filibuster?

this is a junk argument. do you understand how much of an unholy mess it would create -- how long passport applications would take -- if you can't just trust that someone's birth certificate on our soil does the job?

are we going to have to start showing up with genealogy trees? prove granddad was legal here and for the "right reasons?"

and the hard right dingbats pushing this, offering germany as an example, yeah, german has a great track record on the subject of ethics and diversity. ha. and even in the present day all their strict laws do is create a permanent underclass of gastarbeiter kids who are born there to workers legally there, but can't ever be citizens.

i mean the folks pushing german ideas of immigration are roughly as humane as the ones looking to apartheid south african business leaders for tech ethics. if it quacks like a duck and salutes like a duck......

the talking filibuster was meant to be for extraordinary circumstances and not as a weekly-used political tool to defeat majority measures.

Probably time for this:

EPSTEIN FILES?

this is perfection.

The Atlantic publishes a well-sourced piece on Patel's problems with alcohol.

Patel sues them for all the money, saying it's false.

As a result of Patel's lawsuit, the reporter is now 'inundated' by new sources begging to tell her their 'drunk Kash' stories. Those would come out in discovery. And all the receipts from da club.

This trial is not going to happen. It's Kash trying to be a tough guy like his orange lord. Discovery would be brutal for him.

Betting odds have just a 20% chance he survives the year in office.

"Sarah Fitzpatrick, The Atlantic investigative journalist behind last week’s bombshell story about FBI Director Kash Patel, has said she has since been “inundated” with messages from new sources corroborating her reporting.

“And I think one of the things that has been most gratifying, after – immediately after the story published was, I have been inundated by additional sourcing going up to the highest levels of the government, thanking us for doing the work, providing additional corroborating information.”"

I think we're all of two minds on the filibuster. It does stop the nation from making wild swings. But it is unjust that the party in power can't actually make policy.

But when this country elects a villain like Trump TWICE and he tries to completely revise the nation's laws and traditions...maybe having a stick in the mud senate is simply needed. Practically speaking. Maybe we aren't a stable enough nation to have the ruling pary be able to do whatever it wants.

Trump does not have the ability to see beyond the next three days.

Winning. Godspeed today trump, he’s a man of action and TDS is spreading among the Weak.

It's not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein.

If we are having discussions on which cabinet member is addicted to various substances, maybe it is time to have a discussion on RFK Jr.

I have never seen a skin texture or tone like that. His face looks like a pinkish raisin that has been sitting too long in an air fryer. Every Alcoholic I have ever seen has a beet red face from blood vessels bursting. It would also explain his shakes as he holds pieces of paper. And the sighing and heavy breathing.

But then again, maybe some of these guys would do even worse if they were sober.

BTW.. The runway is getting cleared for the Trump- Ghislane Maxwell pardon... It looks like Comer is going to do Trump a solid and send out the lie that they need to give her that to allow her to come in and speak freely. Because they are super duper interested in getting to the bottom of this Epstein stuff. And they need her uninhibited testimony. This will give Trump cover for doing so.

Then she will come in with her pardon and say nothing.

Murica!

yes, the US owns 10% of Intel. So Intel will 'succeed.'

pure putinism/orbanism/trumpism:

have a state-favored enterprise and help them succeed. Then everyone in business has to beg for the government's favor and never go against the dear leader. Trumpism is killing the golden goose of american capitalism every day.

They needed a fcking SWAT team to break into the room the "FBI director" had passed out in. It is impeachable offense #3,254 that Trump has not fired him already. Instead, they are going after journalists for documenting this incredible national security failure.

This is bullsh!t. Too Late Jerome was way over budget on the renovations. They were caulking the bathrooms with the wrong grade stuff. The plumbing hardly worked, the faucets were dripping. Migrants working the scaffolds. All the fixtures were mauve tone ceramics. No opulence at all. $$$$$$$$$$$ in cash. Massive green cash in over budget expenditures. The goddam FedRes balance sheet looks like Spirit airlines.

Posting on social media is not work Sally.

Is this wrong?

“A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts.
In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.
Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding”
