S*** just got real!


 All these right-wing pundits and politicians saying that Donald trump is being singled out for unfair treatment by the Manhattan District Attorney's office have never practiced criminal law in America. The truth is that Donald trump has been singled out for favorable treatment from the criminal justice system for years. Now, finally, it would appear that there is a prosecutor willing to charge him for his "alleged" crimes and make him accountable. 

And let's stop with this silly notion that Manhattan District Attorney Bragg should have waited to charge him until more serious charges were brought by one of the numerous other agencies investigating his numerous cases. That's not how this works. If you are committing criminal acts you should be held accountable regardless of your station in life. No one should be above the law. No one.  

Now, predictably, Mr. trump is painting the charges being brought against him as a political witch-hunt, and he is calling for violence, once again, from his minions. He is attacking the Judge, the District Attorney, and all of his perceived enemies for his predicament. Predictably,  he is leaving out the one person responsible for the mess he now finds himself in: Himself.

We will see how this plays out in the next coming days and months, and regardless of the outcome of his trial, Mr. trump has been an enormous stain on America and everything that she is supposed to stand for. He has exposed the true character of almost half of the country, and discredited the lie that we are a nation that view each other as equals. 

As is always the case with Mr. trump, there is more than enough irony in the position that he now find himself in. Remember all the "lock her up chants"? Hillary Clinton is having the last laugh. All those MAGA heads who were crying "lock her up" along with him, are now screaming that it's not right to indict and arrest a political opponent.  

Donald trump will be fingerprinted and have his mug shot taken on Tuesday, and a new chapter of his life will begin. This one won't end the way he wants it to, and he won't be able to control the narrative the way he is accustomed to with the help of his right-wingnut friends. 

As they say in the streets: S**t just got real.

I heard someone describe the indictment as “Fuck Around And Find Out Christmas.”

I laughed, but I do have to admit this is pretty small fry stuff, in the grand scheme of things. I don’t actually care that much if Trump boned a porn star, paid her to keep it quiet, and then fudged his records to hide the payment. That is far, far from the worst thing he has done, and I don’t believe he’ll do jail time for it anyway.

However, when Trump goes to prison for bank fraud/tax fraud/trying to overthrow democracy, that’s when I’ll break out the egg nog and start singing Christmas carols.

Alvin Bragg did Insane Clown a favor in shutting down the stronger tax/bank fraud case on the grounds that maybe Insane Clown intended to commit the legal kind of tax/bank fraud. Or some such horseshit. Bragg will look pretty fucking stupid if this gets thrown out on the grounds that the campaign finance crime (that they are relying on to elevate the falsification of business records to a felony and extend the statute of limitations) is a federal crime that is irrelevant in state court. And that Insane Clown never was convicted or even indicted even though he was individual-1 in the indictment that led to Michael Cohen doing the time for that crime.

“Bragg will look pretty fucking stupid if this gets thrown out …”

Well, DAs are politicians, and it does look like his decisions might be somewhat motivated by political considerations in bringing this case.

I mean, here is the chronology of events:

1) His office was investigating Trump’s business dealings, going back to Bragg’s predecessor, Cy Vance.

2) Several of the Manhattan district’s prosecutors abruptly quit, angry after learning that Bragg was refusing to bring charges against Trump for shady business practices. They publicly claimed there was a solid case against Trump, and implied Bragg had lost his nerve because Trump was a former president with some powerful elite friends and tons of insane/violent redneck followers.

3) Bragg ended up looking like a dick.

4) Possibly worried that Manhattan’s largely Democrat voters might be unhappy about the dropping of the investigation and not vote to re-elect him, Bragg brought this much weaker and more trivial set of charges against Trump related to the hush money payment.

So, yes, if it doesn’t pan out, Bragg will end up with egg on his face.

Donald Trump vows to escalate attacks against Alvin Bragg – sources

I predict that it won’t be long before the judge will be forced to shut Trump up by issuing a gag order so he doesn’t incite violence. Then Trump will violate the gag order and start making threats anyway, and the judge will be forced to put him under house arrest with an ankle monitor and take away all his communications devices.

This will basically make it impossible for him to run for president anymore, because he can no longer campaign. And even though it will be completely his own fault, Republicans will lose their minds with rage.

A man in Palo Alto Calif, wears a magat hat and people harass and call him a Nazi. He then removes his hat to reveal a yarmulke and claims it is insulting to a Jew to be called a Nazi.

My question is, weren't there any number of German Jews who collaborated with Nazis during WW 2 who should be named as Nazis?

Kenosha Killer Kyle appeared in a video with Theodore Nugent whining about being sued for monetary damages when he has no income. Nugent then went after Obamas and brought up the debunked myth that Michelle Obama was really Mike Obama and could not be the mother of the Obama girls. These fuckers never let a debunked fallacy die. magats are eternal victims.

There are Trump-loving, American liberal-hating Likud party Israelis who hate Black Lives Matter and blame all kinds of imaginary crimes on George Soros. There is Netanyahu himself who is trying to get complete political and judicial control of Israel and end 75 years of democracy.

These guys ain't Nazis. But they sure are fascists.

I talked to one of those bastards, just as he banned me across ten websites. I couldn't really answer him back being banned, of course. So I lurk and do research on conservatives.

All I said was this, "Could you please not equate Black Lives Matter and Antifa as if they were only one entity? They are separate organizations with separate goals."

At the time, 2020, conservatives routinely wrote incendiary posts about BLM/Antifa as if they were one group. They also blamed this chimera for any and all political violence in the U.S. which was at a record high.

So this right-wing monster from Israel blows a gasket as his head explodes in anger directed at me. I was accused of being a stooge working for Soros in this full-page hate letter. To top it off, he called me anti-semitic! Me, fucking Flying Junior an anti-semite!?!

So fuck those guys. I remember some American teenage Jews in Tel Aviv that I heard on KPFK Pacifica Radio in 2008 ranting and going off about how they hated Obama after he was elected the first black president. That just about blew my mind. Because all of the Jews that I knew my entire life were always really far out and nice people.

It’s possible I celebrated too soon. The media is reporting that Wisconsin also held a special election for a state Senate seat, and Republicans flipped it. Which ordinarily wouldn’t be particularly consequential, but the addition of that seat now gives Republicans a supermajority in the Wisconsin Senate — and that implies impeachment power.

I wouldn’t put it past them to invent flimsy pretexts to remove liberal Supreme Court justices if the Supreme Court issues rulings they don’t like. These bastards don’t know how to do anything else but cheat.

Dems have won the majority of statewide votes in 14 of the last 17 elections and yet magats control over 60% of the congressional seats due to gerrymandering.

I worry the SCOTUS will step in and block Wisconsin's court from getting involved with gerrymandering cases.

Congress has Republican members who helped violent insurrectionists, not merely protesters, enter the federal legislature. But there is zero chance they will be expelled.

Of course, they won’t even acknowledge the Jan 6th mob were insurrectionists. They’re still pretending they were tourists.

I respectively disagree. Yes, I believe that that Trump is guilty, but this won't be swept under the rug. I'm a white person with many white friends, and I want to see him go to prison, as do ninety percent or more of the people I know. My family is multi racial and can't abide Trump and his vile followers.
The die-hard Trump lovers are a small minority of the electorate, but the MSM allows or even encourages them to seem greater than they really are by reporting on everything they say without any rebuttal to their lies.

“Texass judge cited the ‘Comstock’ act when blabbing about the abortion pill and was ridiculed for it. Exactly who was taking underage drugs across state lines for the purpose of prostitution?”

You’re thinking of the Mann Act. That was an early anti-sex trafficking law that prohibited transportation of underage females across state lines. (One that was passed, however, as the result of a moral panic over a myth that huge numbers of white girls were being kidnapped by gangs and forced into prostitution. This was never a real thing.)

The Comstock laws were a set of prudish, generally anti-sex laws from the Victorian era that prohibited the distribution of porn, sex toys, contraception, and abortion methods by mail.

The fact that Christian fundies are trying to enforce archaic 19th-century laws to control other people’s sex lives, shows just how insane they are.

Everything about this ruling is nuts. It’s a farce from beginning to end.

1) There’s no reason for the plaintiffs to be granted standing to sue, as they haven’t been injured in any discernible way, nor will they ever be.

2) There’s no basis for the judge to issue a ruling. He agreed with the plaintiffs that the FDA did their jobs wrong, but even if that were true (and it’s not), that is not a legal question and is frankly none of his goddamn business.

3) The evidence that the FDA did their jobs wrong is pure bullshit. Mifepristone is obviously both safe and effective — it has been used all over the world for decades to carry out abortions, and serious side effects are very rare.

This is a textbook case of naked abuse of power by the judge.

The killings will go on, although possibly the body count in each such event will go down if Americans no longer have easy access to such high-powered weapons.

Which would be the point of such a ban.
