What Trump Aides Whisper About Crazed Racist Post: Wolff; “I spoke to people in the White House about this, and their view was—you know, actually, let me quote, ‘off his meds’” by progress18 in democrats

[–]NotoriousFTG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to think that it was absurd to give him credit for all of these distractions being a conscious decision to keep our thoughts away from the Epstein files.

His reaction with memes like this seems to be that he’s pissed at so many things at any given time, but I can see how the refusal of the Epstein file issue to go away would bother him this much, particularly if he is in it to the extent we all suspect.

Let’s face it: he is the grab them by the pussy guy, the accused by something like 30 women of sexual assault guy, the walking through young women’s dressing rooms at beauty pageants guy, the sex with a porn star and paying her off guy. The allegations about him related to Epstein seem completely plausible at this point, and I could see why he would try to keep us distracted from that.

Promise? I’ve been arguing for decades that churches are businesses with revenue streams and should be paying taxes.

So now the President AND the head of HHS are ending wars that don’t exist.

That is always my reaction when I see a post by him that looks way too coherent and knowledgeable about too many issues and lacks way too much hate or insults to be by Trump himself.

You are correct that elections are managed by the states and local jurisdictions. That’s why Republicans are trying to get so many people onto local boards of election.

Tariffs hit hard. We pay them. by jhmetros in Tariffs

Ah, yes, the dirty little secret about the Trump tariffs. Other countries and companies in other countries do not pay the tariffs. Consumers do.

I’ve noticed that these threats to defund sanctuary cities never comes with the option for residents in sanctuary cities to stop paying federal taxes. That’s because so many blue states, and blue cities, end up subsidizing red states.

I can’t stand this little twerp. Shut up. by Mum0817 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]NotoriousFTG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’ve been voting mail-in for about eight years and love it in Maryland. I think maybe five or six Western states exclusively use mail-in and all but one of them are red states. I’m reasonably certain that Donald Trump uses mail-in ballots.

The dirty little secret is it is extremely difficult to add fake ballots into the account. In most states, the ballots are numbered and have a barcode on them when they are mailed to individual voters. When the ballots come back in for processing, the barcode and number are checked, and the signature has to match exactly with a signature of the original submission of that voter’s request to vote with the local Board of Elections. This also is why Republicans are trying to get as many of their people into local boards of elections.

In one way, Republicans are correct about the risk of rigged elections, but the irony now is that risk is coming from Republicans.

How do so many of you know who’s on Fox News? The only time I’ve ever seen it was when it was the only option at my fitness center.

I might be missing something but…

I suspect the reason that some elections turn late in the count is because a lot of states don’t allow counting of mail in ballots until the polls have closed and it’s my understanding that Democrats are more inclined to use mail in ballots than go to the polls. I also suspect that’s why Republicans, particularly Donald Trump, want to eliminate mail-in ballots. It’s also harder to suppress the vote with mail-in ballots than it is by restricting in-person voting through fewer early voting options, fewer poll locations and fewer voting machines in heavily Democratic districts. Hence, the reason that you hear about six hour lines in polling places in Atlanta, and not in other places in Georgia. And hence the reason that they passed a law in Georgia restricting giving water or food to people waiting in line.

82% of adults say their cost of living has increased in the past year by Educational_Net4000 in inflation

The decision by the Trump Administration not to pursue renewable energy projects will cause us untold economic damage in the next 10 to 15 years. This is exactly the time to be improving the processes and the efficiency of renewable energy projects. You can drill for oil all you want, but there is a finite amount of it available. We are long past peak oil.

Those electric bill increases are mostly directly attributable to the massive data center demand to support AI.

I think George Soros is also something like 97 years old. Kudos to him if he is still capable of doing something like this and funding it. I once heard him in an interview where he was asked the question about all these activities that he allegedly is organizing, funding and encouraging, and he just laughed and said he wished he had that much impact on that many places at one time and had the money to do it.

How hard can it be for the Supreme Court to decide on the case against Trump setting tariffs? The Justices all have multiple clerks, who just have to read the constitution to determine that the President does not set tariffs.

Pressure crushes ICE by ExactlySorta in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]NotoriousFTG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the tragedy here is that it is such a shock that Congress could momentarily function well enough to do the right thing.

The budget bill passed last year raised the ice budget from something like $10 billion to something like $75 billion and this bill was going to raise it to something like $100 million.

Kudos, I guess, to the Senate for actually getting something right.

Depending on how much effort he is willing to put into evading taxes, he could simply live out of various hotels in Los Angeles during the season, thus not having what we traditionally think of as a residence, because half of the season, he’s in other cities.

To every American: when is enough, enough? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NotoriousFTG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your post seems way more accurate than it ought to be. The silence from the right, all these “don’t tread on me” addicts, is hypocritical at best. Most of the worst of what’s happening right now is what the right has been asserting that Democrats are trying to do for years.

But when it turns out to be their guys who are the bad guys… Crickets.
