Trump went on a particularly racist rant at his Pennsylvania rally yesterday. Anybody still refusing to acknowledge his naked racism is simply not paying attention a racist. Its breathtaking:

Yes. An amendment would be necessary.

Jeff Lipman, a retired dentist living in Boca Raton, Fla., said he invested $750,000 in GPB. In an interview, Mr. Lipman said he had received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a federal settlement, but that he was owed nearly $300,000 more.

Mr. Lipman, 72, said he could not fathom why Mr. Trump, whom he supported, granted clemency to Mr. Gentile. He dismissed any notion that the prosecution was politically motivated.

“I’m a Trump supporter, and this was bad, bad, bad,” Mr. Lipman said. “To have this guy finally go to jail deservedly and for Trump let him out, there can be no excuse for this.”

 

Well, Mr. Lipman, the excuse is Trump is a fraudster. You were fooled by two conmen.

You know, if this were 2016, I might have a little bit more patience with these absolute fucking morons. How can you still be saying shit like that?

Trump won't go away. He's been in our faces 24/7 for over a decade and we still have tens of millions of people like "golly, I can't imagine why Trump would do something like that....". Because he's getting fucking paid, dumbass. I just don't get how you can still be confused on this after all this time.

Because their media does not tell them the truth.  Only now, with the costs of food etc. well higher than just a few years ago are some of the dim bulbs starting to glow.

Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, I'll get fooled again.

It's this right here.  They live in a world that feeds them misinformation 24/7.  I'm sure we've all seen it with friends and or family who - while seemingly normal in real life - will post or quote something that is objectively false on its face.  Something that if anyone else in the world said it besides tfg, or posted it besides a right leaning source, they'd say, "Of course this is crazy!"  But because it comes from tfg, or some source from his orbit, they will believe it.  It's a weird cult full of people who go into a weird trancelike inability to discern reality from fiction when it comes to tfg.  I can't wait for him to pass from the scene, and the bubble to pop.

Yeah, how is the headline not "Moron who repeatedly falls for cons upset about being repeatedly conned?"

YOU LITERALLY FUCKING VOTED FOR THIS EXACT OUTCOME.   WHEN YOU VOTE FOR A CONMAN, YOU VOTED FOR CONS.

He will tell you he is not a con, and I agree.

He says, almost exactly, what he plans to do. Everyone around him says, "don't take it literally." 

Then he does it and says, "Whaddya want from me? This is the mandate you idiots voted for... Biden Kamala Communist Taco Orange Gold Dog..."

"Don't be ridiculous, he wouldn't pardon the 1/6 rioters who spent the day beating up cops. He's not a monster. Geez, don't be such a dick...."

(he pardons all the violent rioters, literally the first day on the job)

"Oh well it's perfectly fine then. Moving on...."

It probably makes good sense not to involve the legislature in pardons and criminal justice generally, other than the making of criminal laws.

It's a power that just screams "this should be exercised by the executive."

But when you have a corrupt executive and a corrupt/compromised congress that poses no impeachment threat, well, it all kind of goes to shit.

Every scheme, at one level or another, is going to have to presume a degree of good faith.

Magnified and quoted for truth.

That's the dirty fucking secret of "the rule of law."  In the end, it ultimately depends on enough people involved acting in good faith.  

There will always be a complete and total criminal class that actively works against the rule of law.  Say, 3-5% of the population.  When that number increases, hitting a critical mass that's probably a LOT lower than any of us would like to imagine (think something like 7-8%), and even lower if that percentage includes those in actual power.....then it's fucking over.

Every system we have -- every single one -- depends on some modicum of good faith among a large majority of people.  Shit, see the "failsafe" of impeachment and the Senate voting to convict.  It presumed that the Senate -- our "higher, august body" -- would put themselves above craven politics and act in the interest of the Republic.  Whoops.

The rule of law is precisely as strong as the willingness of a marginally sized group of perhaps 3-4% of the population to actually follow it.  That's it.  That's what stands between a Rule of Law Republic and a lawless autocracy.  And we're well past the tipping point.

Sweet dreams!

Why do his supporters think this is OK?

Many of them have no fucking idea this shit is happening. My in-laws are constantly surprised when my wife passes on some of the cruel shit MAGA/Trump does. My MIL had ZERO idea that the US boarded and took over a Venezuelan oil tanker earlier this week.
