If anyone wrote a passage in here they’d be arrested by the grammar police. Maybe not if they were 5th graders Trump’s new excuse on not releasing his taxes is ‘completely meaningless’ and may not even be in English: CNN’s Toobin “I’m under tax audit, I have been for a long period of time,” the president told Hannity. “Once I ran for politics that deal was like we didn’t make it. So I’m under a continuing audit, and anyone that did that or showed that before you have it finalized, but they treat, they treat me horribly, the IRS. It is a disgrace what has happened. We had a deal done, I guess it was signed even. Once I ran or once I won, somewhere back a long time ago everything was like let’s start all over again.” https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/tr...s-and-may-not-even-be-in-english-cnns-toobin/
So I was reading George Will's latest: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...7ae76e-c208-11ea-9fdd-b7ac6b051dc8_story.html According to the headline, Will is ostensibly drawing a distinction between Trumpism and fascism. TL;DR: There isn't one. But what most interested me is this quote Will pulls from Mussolini: “Democracy has deprived the life of the people of ‘style’ . . . the color, the strength, the picturesque, the unexpected, the mystical; in sum, all that counts in the life of the masses. We play the lyre on all its strings.” Wow. Compared to Trump, Mussolini is a poet. Can you possibly imagine Trump writing, nay, even conceiving, of something so lyrical?
So Trump announced in a telemundo interview today that he’ll be signing an immigration “bill” (he admitted it will be an executive order when called on it) to address DACA and give them a path for citizenship My reaction: great. Wow you are ********ing desperate. I look forward to learning of the news of your death from a statement from the N.Y. department of detention
As expected, Trump is granting clemency to his sidekick, Roger stone. President Trump has commuted the sentence of longtime adviser Roger Stone, who was found guilty of seeking to thwart congressional and FBI investigations into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, Politico reports. The controversial move brings an abrupt end to the possibility of Stone spending 40 months behind bars. He had been scheduled to report to prison on July 14. New York Times: “Granting clemency to Mr. Stone is certain to prompt new complaints that the Trump administration is thwarting the federal justice system to help the president’s friends.”
That should be his position. Trump promised them last time, and argued about Clinton's finances on stage while hiding his own. Screw that.
So the CEO of Goya has decided that brand suicide is a good idea. Apparently Latinx Twitter and social media is going crazy.
Great that Judge Amy Bermann forced crooked Mango Mussolini to commute the sentence of his henchman before the election Disgusting
Mueller has weighed in on the commutation. The entire legal system has risen up against the orange menace's clear defense of his own criminality.
Ehh.. Mueller had to respond. Trump’s pardon letter went all in Mueller running a corrupt investigation that was in a witch-hunt to bring Trump down because they didn’t agree with Trump’s politics...
He did his job and he did excellently. The only knock against him might be that he believes in the system. The ones that let us down are the Republican senators.
Like they said...when it mattered, he let us down. Because everyone....and I meant EVERYONE...knew that the outcome was preordained. But yet he sat silently on the sidelines and enabled them to rewrite his report with impunity and did nothing to stop it. He failed the most important part. And just to be perfectly clear....he spent two ********ing years investigating a Russian psychological operation designed nefariously manipulate US public opinion....then sat silently while Trump and Barr misrepresented that very work in order to accomplish the exact same thing. He. Let. Us. Down.
Mueller is an old-school guy who believes in decency, restraint, and personal integrity. While I respect that, he's also smart enough to know that those attributes don't impress the Trump GOP. Quite the contrary. They mean "sucker" to the Trump GOP. So he blew it, by not adjusting to the reality that he did not wish to face, but needed to face. He was our Neville Chamberlain.
