These are heady times for a certain type of Republican.

[surada]

GFY Berg. Your hit jobs aren't witty and most Americans are well aware of how corrupt your party is and how polluted they've made our justice system. But your day, it's coming...

Very old school...

In paid private speeches, the long-retired 43rd president has been known to joke that both Trump and President Joe Biden are too old for the demands of the office.

"I'm younger than both of the candidates, and I'm too old," Bush has said in at least one speech, according to a witness who requested anonymity.

Just don't expect Bush, who turned 78 earlier this month, to say this kind of thing out loud - not even about Trump, the volatile businessman who built his political career in part by trashing the legacy of the Bush dynasty

While people often call on Bush to speak out against Trump and the Republican Party he has remade in his own image, friends and associates said he is standing by his pledge not to critique other presidents and political leaders.

"The job of the president is very hard to begin with," Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary for Bush, told USA TODAY. "He doesn't want to make it harder for anyone, friend or foe."

"It's very old school," Fleischer added. "It's very gracious. It's very Bush."

It also has public benefits for the former president - his approval ratings have more than doubled since he left office more than 15 years ago.

Apparently the Secret Service head will refuse to honor a congressional subpoena and there is no outrage. The democrat party and the Biden administration have the system rigged so that only republicans go to jail for ignoring subpoenas.

Regardless of the aesthetics, the GQP is understandably giddy right now. Have you ever seen a series of events that so favored a party towards the end of a campaign? Amazing.

The question remains, how many of these people really understand what it is they're asking for.

First and foremost they want their grievances to be satisfied. They want their guy to have power so they can "own the libs." They want to believe someone at the top has their interests in mind. They are all in on the idea a trump victory means their deluded wishes will come true.

It's up to congressional Repubs to enforce compliance with a subpoena.

He's forever grateful to Obama for not being prosecuted as a war criminal.

When Dubya is playing the reasonable, dignified, respected statesman, you know we've gone way the hell downhill over the last eight years.

Well, he didn't rape anyone. He just got a few hundred thousand people killed, indirectly caused a ME refugee crisis, which in turn contributed to the rise of far Right politics in Europe. Among Repubs he gets a pass.

Peter Navarro: ‘This morning I did walk out of a federal prison’​

Peter Navarro was invited to speak at the Republican National Convention just after being released from a Miami prison. He completed a four-month sentence for defying a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee. He was greeted with a standing ovation and quickly joked that he wished the audience could see the MAGA tattoo he got in prison.

As if they were doing a parody of themselves, "law and order" was a central theme of the RNC convention. But, let's be honest, despite the homage to obeying the law those folks sure do like their convicted criminals. Pete got a standing O just before he launched in to a racist rant about immigrants. A real show stopper.

This woman's folks are in prison for tax evasion but I don't necessarily think that's why she got to speak........if you catch my drift.



Is there really any doubt how the crowd would have reacted if Steve Bannon had been able to be there? Pandemonium. Steve was pardoned by trump in his fraud case but still managed to land in prison for contempt of Congress. That guy never gave up trying to make the list, the very long list......(trump, Bannon, Manafort, Gates, Weisselberg, Stone, Cohen, Navarro, and Rudy on deck. Not to mention the guilty pleas in the GA case and all those fake electors under indictment), of convicts associated with trump. You know, seeing as being a convicted criminal is a badge of honor in the POT. No doubt cuz those grand jury members are all part of the deep state so fuck them........am I right?

Then there's the big dog himself. He's gone above and beyond to show his contempt for the rule of law and thus endeared himself with the minions in a deep and spiritual way. He was found guilty on 34 counts in what could be described as an election interference case (ironic, right?). And who can forget the business fraud case? Perhaps the one that put him over the top in Repub's hearts and minds was being found financially liable for defamation in this case.

Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll​

After Donald Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll, his legal team and his defenders lodged a frequent talking point.
Despite Carroll’s claims that Trump had raped her, they noted, the jury stopped short of saying he committed that particular offense. Instead, jurors opted for a second option: sexual abuse.

“This was a rape claim, this was a rape case all along, and the jury rejected that — made other findings,” his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, said outside the courthouse.
A judge has now clarified that this is basically a legal distinction without a real-world difference. He says that what the jury found Trump did was in fact rape, as commonly understood.

How JD got to be the VP choice without a record is beyond me. Though he is a xenophobic, isolationist with an authoritarian bent so there's that. Anyway, my advice to anyone considering a career in POT politics is go see if you can't get yourself locked up. trump and the gang will love you for it.

Rambling nonsense.

The judge who claimed that the civil jury found Trump liable for “rape” Is flatly and totally wrong. That’s not at all what the jury said. In fact, they very clearly didn’t make any such determination which is evident by their verdict sheet.

The GOP is the party of law and order. That’s why they object to lawfare against Trump, Bannon, Navarro and so forth.

It is the Democrap Party that intentionally abuses and misuses our criminal justice system for nefarious and illegitimate reasons. No libturd Democrap should EVER attempt to lecture anyone on the topic of law and order. The Dim Party even loathes our very Constitution.

Trump is going to pardon all the J6 political prisoners.

Long overdue.

It'll be delicious watching leftard heads explode.

No you dumb shit, it's up to the asshole AG.

You must be living on a different planet.

Factually incorrect.

“The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.

He added: “Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.”

Kaplan said New York’s legal definition of “rape” is “far narrower” than the word is understood in “common modern parlance.”
The former requires forcible, unconsented-to penetration with one’s penis. But he said that the conduct the jury effectively found Trump liable for — forced digital penetration — meets a more common definition of rape. He cited definitions offered by the American Psychological Association and the Justice Department, which in 2012 expanded its definition of rape to include penetration “with any body part or object.”

You are indeed factually wrong.

So was the judge.

They said no to “rape.”

They said yes to the alleged sexual abuse.

They made that distinction.

And they did so knowing what it meant, too, because it got defined.

Not everyone’s a a gullible and slow as you are, bug.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Ordinarily, I'd laugh off your threat about my day coming. But I take trump seriously when he says people will be persecuted if they oppose him. So maybe he'll send out his goons looking for folks who dare to dissent.

Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell and Candace Owens were all unavailable for comment.

In NY, unless there is penetration by a penis things like sticking your finger inside a victim's vajayjay is defined by law as sexual assault. Frankly, I think you are too stupid to make the distinction.

I’m not sure by I know for a fact they were never at one of Racial Jungle *Joes clan meetings.

So even a moron like you grasps that it isn’t rape.

So why are you claiming otherwise, you asshole?

CNN NOW PROJECTS LANDSLIDE VICTORY FOR TRUMP​

Only a landslide??

 

[Oddball]

I'm pretty sure the Dem nominee, who ever that ends up being, won't be a convicted felon who surrounds him/herself with convicted felons at an event where lawlessness is celebrated.

I don't know how much worse it can get than a guy who molested his own fucking daughter, but I'm sure you loathsome shitlibs can manage to plumb the depths of pure evil even further.
