I do try to give them some credit that they were taught since the moment they were born that slavery was all fine and normal. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wiggles Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Thomas Jefferson "had 6 unacknowledged children". Yeah my main problem with Jefferson ain't that they were "unacknowledged". It's that he raped a 16 year old slave he owned to conceive those children. Let's see FNC discuss that honestly. 🤷♂️ Edited September 6, 2022 by Captain Wiggles 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Founding Fathers owned slaves. And they absolutely should be taught about, and respected, for the great thing they accomplished. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Republican congressman presents convicted January 6 rioter with flag flown over US Capitol after her release from prison Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas presented an honorary American flag recently flown above the US Capitol to a convicted January 6 rioter after she was released from prison Friday. Gohmert, a Trump ally who has previously promoted debunked conspiracies about the January 6, 2021, insurrection, met Dr. Simone Gold upon her release from federal prison in Miami on Friday and gifted her a flag flown over the Capitol along with an official certificate. In a statement released Friday, Gohmert falsely claimed that Gold was "a political prisoner," a term many supporters of former President Donald Trump have used to inaccurately describe the prosecution and incarceration of January 6 defendants. "Dr. Gold is the definition of what a political prisoner looks like -- something I never thought I'd see here in the United States of America," Gohmert said. Gold is a well-known Covid-19 conspiracy theorist who was sentenced to 60 days in prison in June for her involvement in the January 6 riot. She is the founder of America's Frontline Doctors, a group that received national attention for spreading false claims about Covid-19, pushing unproven treatments like hydroxychloroquine and later lying about the FDA-authorized vaccines. The day before January 6, Gold spoke at a "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington, DC, where she further promoted vaccine misinformation. The next day, she joined a group of rioters who forced their way past officers and breached the US Capitol. She later spoke through a megaphone to fellow rioters gathered in Statuary Hall. At her sentencing hearing in June, US District Judge Christopher Cooper chastised Gold for "leaving people with the misimpression that this is a political prosecution." Cooper gave her the 60-day jail sentence after she pleaded guilty to entering restricted Capitol grounds, a low-level misdemeanor with a maximum potential sentence of one year behind bars. The statement released by Gohmert's office Friday said he presented Gold with the flag "to celebrate her invaluable work and contributions to public health, medical freedom and our God-given constitutional rights."

China Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 On 9/1/2022 at 1:05 AM, China said: Another failed business venture? If there's one thing Trump excels at, it's running businesses into the ground. Waiting for Trump Org to fail as well as it succumbs to all it's legal woes. Opinion | What the Truth Social Flop Says About Trump he slow-cooking financial disaster that has been simmering in Donald Trump’s business Crock-Pot is now coming to a boil. Truth Social — the Twitter knock-off the former president launched six months ago in reaction to Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube’s decision to deplatform him — might reduce itself to the smoke and char of bankruptcy, according to recent business press reports. The swill the site serves attracts only a fraction of what Twitter does. Google has yet to approve downloads of its app from the Play Store over moderation issues, blocking it from 40 percent of the smartphone market. It lost $6.5 million in the first year and seems unable to pay its bills. But worst of all, the merger plan that would give it a stock market listing and the $1.3 billion it hoped to raise has stalled. Once upon a time, Trump fed his 89 million Twitter followers a several-times-a-day mash of insult, provocation and bombast. But he has attracted only an estimated 3.9 million to his Truth Social account, making him one of the biggest social media flops of the decade. Where did the magic go? Why have Trump’s followers forsaken him? Is Truth Social doomed? Trump deserves credit for marketing his Twitter account to its Everestian heights. He’s always known how to play to the crowds, titillate them and leave them wanting more. During his first campaign and presidency, even a garden-variety Trump tweet could convulse newsrooms. But that was a function of his front-runner status and later his place in the Oval Office. He drew an enormous audience not because he was Donald Trump tweeting but because he was the tweeting president. The power of the office endowed his tweets with muscle that could move financial markets, bury political careers, inspire death threats against his enemies and make the press snap to attention. But exiled to Mar-a-Lago and denied his social media accounts rendered him just another celebrity squeaking noises from a tiny soapbox. When his profile shrank, he became easier to ignore.

China Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Perhaps we now know who told the FBI about the documents at Mar-a-Lago: Trump backed failed campaign coup against Kushner, Navarro book says In June 2020, less than five months before polling day, Donald Trump agreed to a “coup d’état” to remove his son-in-law Jared Kushner from control of his presidential re-election campaign and replace him with the far-right provocateur Steve Bannon. The coup had support from Donald Trump Jr but according to a new book by the former Trump aide Peter Navarro it did not work, after Trump refused to give Kushner the bad news himself. Fearing “family troubles if [he] himself had to deliver the bad news to … the father of his grandchildren”, Trump asked Bernie Marcus, the founder of Home Depot, a major Republican donor and a central player in the coup, “to be the messenger” to Kushner. In Navarro’s telling, Kushner first insulted Marcus by skipping a call, then told Trump’s emissary “things were fine with the campaign, there was no way he was stepping down and, in effect, Bernie Marcus and his big moneybags could go pound sand”. Navarro writes: “And that was that. And the rest is a catastrophic strategic failure history.” In November, Trump lost the White House to Joe Biden. Click on the link for the full article Oh, and **** Navarro. I hope he spends a significant amount of time in jail for contempt of Congress, and hopefully other charges and then never sees any money from his book so he can't profit from his crimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 With more than 40 Trump lawyers singled out for ethics complaints and even more facing charges, legal experts joke MAGA now stands for 'Making Attorneys Get Attorneys' For lawyers working with former President Donald Trump, legal risk is considered an expected part of the job: More than 40 attorneys who worked to overturn the 2020 election on his behalf have been hit with ethics complaints. The New York Times reported legal experts joke MAGA now stands for "Making Attorneys Get Attorneys," based on the reputational risk of working with Trump. "There's no way to adhere to your ethical integrity and keep your job," Kimberly Wehle, a University of Baltimore law professor who closely tracked investigations into the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, told The New York Times of the dilemma Mr. Trump's lawyers face: "There's just no way to not step into a mess." The 65 Project, a bipartisan effort to hold Trump-allied lawyers accountable for filing 65 lawsuits across swing states in an attempt to overturn legitimate 2020 election results, has filed more than 40 ethics complaints with their respective state bar associations against lawyers who participated in the scheme.

Damn speechwriter for Nixon. The late 90s and early 200s were an odd time: On the show, "Win Ben Stein's Money", it turned out that Jimmy Kimmel was the smart one and Ben Stein was the whackjob. In the Eminem-Moby dispute, it turned out that Eminem was a decent human being, and Moby was a creep. We judged Derek Jeter for his gift baskets, while we praised Tiger Woods for his family values. The SuperSize Me guy? Also a creep. The only constant in all of this is the awfulness of Fred Durst, both musically and at a personal level.
