    I’m sure the show will have lots of dead-eyed pauses and endless variations of “What is going on? What is happening in this country??”

    7 counts of wire fraud, 3 counts of money laundering, 1 count of theft of public funds and 2 counts of making materially false statements to the US House of Representatives. With the cherry on top that he is presently cosponsoring a bill designed to help prosecutors address one of the crimes he is charged with.

    I can't believe that the former US Attorney General to 5 different presidents and the man that single-handedly took down Al Capone could perpetrate these crimes.

    Dana Loesch's take on this:

    "What about Hunter Biden?!"

    I am not making this up. I didn't even think she was going to mention it, but she did, just so she could bring up Hunter.

    And he did all of it while sucking dick. By the way he’s gay, on top of all that.

    George Santos one year from now:

    The Trump town hall was an absolute shit show. I don't think CNN could have maneuvered themselves into a more pathetic position if they tried. They bend over backwards to accommodate the Fox audience they're trying to capture, never realizing that those people will hate CNN no matter how much CNN grovels. It was just a free hour for Trump to advertise on. He defamed a rape victim he was found liable for defaming literally yesterday, he unapologetically defended every aspect of Jan 6, and, just as an amuse bouche, he advocated for the United States to default on its debt.

    I think you mean "pay too much attention to cunts who should be ignored and put to pasture."

    Anyone upset about anything Trump says at this point has only themselves to blame for paying any attention at all. The only solution is to ignore it, and all the idiotic copycats who seek power at the cost of democracy and decency. We are only better if we act it.

    I am tired of the pearl clutching, that only inspires his base out of some disjointed sense of injury.

    Fuck him, fuck every word out of his mouth, and fuck anyone who broadcasts it.

    Let these cunts die ignored, and let's move on as a society. It's another American century, bitch, and we ain't got time for this nonsense.

    I mean that any attention is "too much". People like Trump shouldn't be platformed at all by anyone. Giving CNN the benefit of thinking they acted in good faith, they only succeeded in giving him a solid hour on prime time cable to preach and rant and get his message out, to an adoring audience no less.

    Just the other day I saw a clip of actual declared Nazi Richard Spencer on some news program, with the joke being, "watch the silly fascist get pwned by facts and logic". Cool, but in the meantime you have a Nazi reaching a national audience he never would otherwise. Words mean things, exponentially more when you broadcast them. "Stochastic terrorism" is when you can convince a whole ass Mexican to tattoo a swastika on himself and go kill on your behalf.

    isn't this good though? Show that the emperor has no clothes? I'm deep in the heart of trump country and all the MAGA-tards I know now despise him. Off the top of my head I can't think of a single one who wants him to run. Of course, those idiots also love desantis, but that's not the point. Let trump get all excited. Let him scam some more people for donations. Then watch when he doesn't get the GOP nomination and runs as an independent. He'll burn his house just to watch the flames. I'm loving every bit of this downfall.

    The problem is CNN packed the audience with Trump supporters ("Republican voter town hall") who laughed and clapped throughout. I have zero faith in the American voter, and an hour of primetime television where Trump looks in command and mean in the way that they like, while the fact check comes in the form of Jake Tapper saying "well boy, I don't know" afterward when everyone has already switched back to NCIS, does nothing to improve the country's electoral outcomes.

    As for your locals, do you live in Florida? I'm unaware of anywhere else where DeSantis is even sniffing the popularity that Trump has among the Republican base. I'm honestly ready to declare the Republican primary over at this point; no one else has a chance.

    The first thing that truly shed a lot of his cult, ironically, was QAnon. Many of them bailed on it finding it too ridiculous even for them. Now he’s like a rookie programmer battling a computer virus from 1992– desperately trying save anything while shit just avalanches off his drive.

    The problem now is that his many remaining followers have collectively degenerated along with him: Way more lying. Way more stupid. Way more unstable. Talking about civil war like they shouldn’t be thrown straight into a mental institution.

    They may hate Trump, they may not like Ron - but they’ll vote R no matter who it is. They just won’t broadcast it like last time.

    If they’re anything like R’s here in NC anyway.

    I think people seriously underestimate the damage that broadcasting politics from the pulpit has done. For the overwhelming majority of people that I am around, voting Democrat isn’t happening - ever.

    These people shun kids, grandkids, lifelong friends and family in the name of Jesus and Republican values. Then stand there alone and instead of some self reflection, double down on the bigotry and dig the hole deeper.

    When your at the dinner table at a family event and murdering gay people comes up as a natural discussion, there isn’t any fixing it.

    Really our only hope is that the Republican billionaires got scared so shitless by the "we should totally default on the US debt" that they'll dump a shitload of money into defeating Trump and accepting that they'll have to wait until 2028 to try to take back the White House.

    Youre family members are from 4chan? I’ve never heard anyone in real life bring that up in real life ever. Let alone as a natural discussion. Maybe it’s a southern thing?
