Trump thread part 2 (Or anything else we want to talk about that's ridiculous in politics today)

[unclefishstick]

i know where that can start!

 

[mean mr.mustard]

delusional don at it again


Former President Donald Trump descended upon Truth Social on Thursday evening to largely reiterate his talking points from his Tuesday night speech in New Jersey—but did note that he still expects, at some point, to be given back everything federal authorities seized in their raid on Mar-a-Lago. In a typical all-caps screed, Trump reasoned that it should be clear to all how he had been “totally exonerated” of the 37 federal charges related to his mishandling of classified materials at the Florida estate. Rattling off his laundry list of enemies—“corrupt Joe Biden, the DOJ, deranged Jack Smith, and their radical left, Marxist thugs”—he asked when they planned “to drop all charges against me, apologize, and return everything that was illegally taken (Fourth Amendment) from my home? This was nothing other than election interference!!!”

It has nothing to do with an election.

He just needs to keep repeating the lie.

I can't tell the difference between the two. I don't divide humanity into the good and the bad 'side'. I don't do this because it leads to feeling superior to another 'side'. You can substitute 'side' for 'race', 'religion', 'social caste', etc... and perhaps you can start to see where I am coming from. Or you can smugly sit there and feel superior to your fellow man, but that doesn't sound very reasonable to me.

You go ahead and sit on your self righteous horse while the world burns around you.

"Suspicious circumstances": Giuliani now claims GOP witness behind Biden bribery allegation is dead​

​

Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani claimed that the key whistleblower in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into President Joe Biden and his son's alleged bribery has died.

Committee Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, claimed to have seen an FBI document that indicated Biden accepted a bribe and participated in a money laundering scheme with his family. The file, an FD-1023 form that allows the public to submit tips to the government about possible crimes, according to the lawmakers, allegedly also suggests that there are audio recordings of the incident. But neither Comer nor Grassley, nor the FBI or Rudy Giuliani have the tapes, and several Republicans this week told the press that they don't know if the recordings even exist.

Newsmax has repeatedly questioned Comer, Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., about the purported audio files, and Johnson recently told the outlet that Grassley never actually said that the recordings exist.

In a Saturday interview with Newsmax, Giuliani claimed that the whistleblower that informed him of the Bidens' alleged scheme had died.

"I did tell them three years ago, and they followed up on none of the evidence I gave them," Giuliani said.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr, however, rebutted that claim in The Federalist last week, saying that the inquiry was "sent to Delaware for further investigation."

Barr's autobiography suggests that Giuliani could be the person who submitted the FBI form. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., called the report an example of "secondhand hearsay." and explained that its claims only "surfaced after Rudy Giuliani was making particular allegations" about the Bidens and Ukraine in early 2020.

"They were hoping that the people would just disappear or die," Giuliani alleged. "It's extraordinary. I gave them one witness that any investigator would jump through hoops to get to. Gave them a witness who was a woman, she was the chief accountant at this crooked company Burisma. She was the wife of the former owner, who died under suspicious circumstances. And she was willing to give up all of the off-shore bank accounts. Including the Bidens."

The person Giuliani may be referring to is the wife of Mykola Lisin, a co-founder of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, according to Raw Story. Lisin died in 2011, which predated Giuliani's trip to Ukraine to search for information on the president as well as Biden's first visit to Ukraine and Hunter's ascension to the company's board. The "suspicious circumstances" Giuliani alleged were a car accident.

Only right-wing outlets have reported the wife's death though none of them appear to know her name, Raw Story noted, and no report has details of the so-called mysterious circumstances Giuliani said surrounds her death either.

Grassley said during a Monday committee hearing that the purported whistleblower kept the alleged "tapes" as "insurance."

"According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses fifteen audio recordings of phone calls between him and Hunter Biden. According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses two audio recordings of phone calls between him and then-Vice President Joe Biden. These recordings were allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the foreign national in case he got into a tight spot. The 1023 also indicates that then-Vice President Joe Biden may have been involved in Burisma employing Hunter Biden," Grassley claimed.

"...Special Counsel Jack Smith has used a recording against former President Trump. Well, what's U.S. Attorney Weiss doing with respect to these alleged Joe and Hunter Biden recordings that are apparently relevant to a high-stakes bribery scheme?" he continued.

Comer also told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday that a source in the investigation into the Bidens' alleged money laundering scheme was missing, which follows last month's reports that a different source in the probe had also disappeared, according to Mediaite.

"And you estimate that nine Biden family members were beneficiaries - including grandchildren were being funneled money through these shell corporations, fake LLCs," Hannity said to the conservative lawmaker, before referencing the purported audio recordings. "You say about between 20 and $30 million from foreign nationals. Is that true? And what do we know about the 17 tapes? Do we have them? Do you know who has them?"

"Well, with the money, first of all, we've already tracked down a little over $10 million," Comer responded. "We're pretty confident, from other sources that that number will grow to beyond 20 million and it could be more if you factor in the president's brother, who dealt mainly in the Middle East."

"With respect to the tapes, look, it mentioned in the FBI form that the oligarch had 17 tapes of Biden - two with Joe Biden accepting the bribe, that he used that as an insurance policy," he added.

When Hannity asked if Comer had been in contact with the "high-ranking member or owner of Burisma," Comer replied that he hadn't.

"Unfortunately, nobody's had any contact with him for the last three years," Comer said. "You know, the MSNBC makes fun of me when I said that there are a lot of people that were involved in the Biden shenanigans that are currently missing. But with respect to this oligarch, we think we know where he is. He just hasn't been seen in public in a long time, but we're following the money."

Despite the host of accusations levied against Biden and his family, no tangible evidence has surfaced.

The woman who is believed to be this mystery informant really did die, though.

In a car accident.

In 2011.

This would mark the 2nd time someone literally rose from the dead for the sole purpose of getting involved in US politics. Don't forget that after Hugo Chavez died in 2013, he had the courtesy to rise from the dead 7 years later so he could rig US voting machines and interfere in the 2020 election.

A dude in a hot air ballonn was lost, so they shouted to another dude below, "Excuse me. I promised a friend I would meet him, but I don't know where I am."

The ground dude shouted, "you're at 31 degrees, 14.57 minutes North and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes West."

"You must be a Democrat," the ballon dude shouted back. "Because everything you've told me is technically correct, but the information is useless, and I'm still lost. You've been no help and are making this worse."

"And you must be a Republican," answered the ground dude.

"Why yes, how did you know?" ballon dude said.

"Because," ground dude replied, "you've risen to where you are due to a lot of hot air, you made a promise you couldn't keep and you expected me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position as before we met but somehow it's my fault."

I tried that. I was terrible at it at. So I switched to studying politics. Now I suck at 2 things.!

 

[armedoldhippy]

a country with greatness would be a country with the best educated people who went to the best school system in the world. The country would have the best infrastructure in the world with modern, up to date medical, education, highway, rail, and air systems. The peoples tax money would pay for all of this including new, well equipped hospitals.

we could have all of that now...but we'd have to go back and start taxing the rich at the former rate of 70% like we used to, and we could kiss all of those lovely military stuff goodbye. no more aircraft carriers (obsolete for the most part) and other expensive shit. in a peaceful world...

You go ahead and sit on your self righteous horse while the world burns around you.

The world around me is pretty burn free, unless you count sunburns, we have very high UV down here so that can be a problem. The world around you is about perspective and if all you see is negative, that's on you. Here's to you getting some more positivity in your life.

The key word in your statement there is perspective. You can have the perspective of just looking at only what affects you personally and ignore what everyone else around you is going thru or you can have the perspective where you see the good in your own life but also are still able to acknowledge that the vast majority of the world doesn't have it anywhere near as good as you and so you try to help improve their lives secure in the knowledge that when you improve the lives of everyone around you chances are better then not that your own situation will also improve even if it was already satisfactory.

You should put that on a motivational poster.
