“I’m so liberal and open minded, I want to cancel everyone who’s opinions don’t align with my own” -every socialist
This is America. Political Discrimination is not against the law, and not equal in any way to racial hate from Repukes.
No Democrat or socialist ever said that. It's always the same: Repukes made shit up and then attribute to Democrats. Trump has proven that socialism is far better than Racist Capitalism.
Another loss for Trump regarding his tax returns. Trump Challenge to New York D.A. Subpoena Is Thrown Out By Bob Van Voris August 20, 2020, 9:43 AM EDT Updated on August 20, 2020, 9:54 AM EDT Trump Challenge to New York D.A. Subpoena Is Thrown Out excerpt: "U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero Thursday rejected Trump’s claims that the subpoena, from a state grand jury looking into payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, was issued in bad faith and is over-broad. "We will appeal,” the president’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow said in a text message. The case was back before Marrero after the U.S. Supreme Court last month rejected Trump’s argument that he’s immune to state criminal investigations. In a new complaint filed after that decision, the president called for the subpoenas to be tossed as “wildly overbroad.” He claims the investigation is limited to the hush payments made by his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to Daniels, who says she had sex with Trump, and that Vance is seeking unrelated evidence to harass the president."
Steve Bannon arrested on fraud charges. Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon arrested on fraud charges in border wall fundraising scheme Brian Schwartz Published Thu, Aug 20 2020 9:38 AM EDT Updated 4 Min Ago Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon arrested on fraud charges in border wall fundraising scheme excerpts: "Prosecutors claim that the defendants “collectively received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donor funds from ‘We Build the Wall,’ which they each used in a manner inconsistent with the organization’s public representations,” according to the indictment." "Prior to his campaign to crowdfund the border wall, Kolfage had been involved in a string of far-right news blogs and groups, one of which had been scrubbed from Facebook for allegedly using fake accounts to drive up website traffic. Some of the sites peddled false conspiracy theories and racist content.As his wall-funding campaign gained national attention, Kolfage had frequently appeared on Fox News and Fox Business, where he defended Trump and slammed his critics for suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”"
That fucker ripped off the donors to the tune of $! million, to pay off debts. Well, alcohol is expensive.
A Timeline of Donald Trump’s Creepiness While He Owned Miss Universe From walking into a teen dressing room to joking about his obligation to sleep with contestants, Trump’s a storied pageant creep By Tessa Stuart October 12, 2016 8:26PM ET A Timeline of Donald Trump's Creepiness While He Owned Miss Universe excerpt: "Mariah Billado, Miss Teen Vermont 1997 told BuzzFeed, “I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here.'” Three other teenage contestants from the same year confirmed the story. The former pageant contestants discussed their memories of the incident after former Miss Arizona Tasha Dixon told Los Angeles’ CBS affiliate that Trump entered the Miss USA dressing room in 2001 when she was a contestant. “He just came strolling right in,” Dixon said. “There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some girls were topless. Others girls were naked. Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal and half-naked changing into our bikinis.” Dixon went on to say that employees of the Miss Universe Organization encouraged the contestants to lavish Trump with attention when he came in. “To have the owner come waltzing in, when we’re naked, or half-naked, in a very physically vulnerable position and then to have the pressure of the people that worked for him telling us to go fawn all over him, go walk up to him, talk to him, get his attention…”"
A Timeline of Donald Trump's Creepiness While He Owned Miss Universe excerpt: "The Trump campaign did not offer a response to either story, but in a 2005 appearance on Howard Stern’s show, Trump bragged about doing exactly what the women describe. “I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone’s getting dressed and ready and everything else,” he said. His position as the pageant’s owner entitled him to that kind of access, Trump explained, seemingly aware that what he was doing made the women uncomfortable. “You know, no men are anywhere. And I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant. And therefore I’m inspecting it… Is everyone OK? You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible-looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that,” he said"
Those remarks along with his 'grab women by the crotch' statement don't offer much confidence in his denials of his tinkering with porn stars. Trump's porn star issue and his clandestine payments spawned the criminal investigation which caused prosecutors to need to see his tax returns which Trump has been fighting vehemently.
Donald Trump's America. We stuck our Biden sign in the yard the other day. We live in the country, not the deep country like we used to live in, but the country. The entire county only has one red light and it just got that a few years ago. It's been said of Pennsylvania that it's Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with a long stretch of the Midwest in between. Sometimes called Pennsyltucky. In our area there are lots of Trump signs. Our neighbor had one until we put up our Biden sign...now he has two. The other night we had a knock at the door and a pickup truck was parked in the driveway. Turned out it was a neighbor lady from down the road. We thought she might be upset by the Biden sign, but she said she wanted to thank us for putting it up. The county is known for hillbillies and rednecks but also small pockets of artists and intellectuals hiding out among the trees. She's a physiologist and her husband is a lawyer. She wanted to put up a Biden sign but her husband won't let her. He's scared. She is part Italian and German, but he's one hundred percent Chinese. His parents fled China during the cultural Revolution and went to Vietnam, where he grew up. They fled Vietnam after their house and everything they owned was confiscated by the communists. He was fifteen and ended up with nothing but the clothes on his back on some island near Malaysia. His family was there for fourteen months with little water and food and no health or sanitary provisions. A refugee camp. They relied on Red Cross food drops. A church sponsored his family to the U.S and they're been here forty years now, he used to love the country. Now he's afraid to vote, afraid of the anti immigrant and anti Chinese wave of Trump followers. He tells his wife, "You don't know how bad it can get." While we were talking he called on the phone and he and his wife conversed in Italian. She has relatives there and they have been telling her about Covid in Italy. If they want to go to the store they don masks, stop at check points, show their government issued I.D., and state their destination and reason for traveling. On the way back they repeat the procedure and show proof of where they've been. They're learning Italian becasue they are thinking of moving to Italy. They believe the United States has become a place of fear and hated.
You just don't get it, huh? What the problem is here is obvious. It is not about right or left or conservative or liberal. It's about the type of speech. Any political speech is not protected, if Goodyear says so. It is their property. You can scream and shout and whine all you want. At Goodyear's property things are not the same as Free Speech at the shopping mall. The mall might be privately owned by a group of investors but according to the Pruneyard case they invite the public so it is a public place and the public can speak freely. At Goodyear, their property is not a public place. They don't have to please you. They can say an LGBQT T-Shirt is not political, or a BLM T-shirt is not political; but, a MAGA hat is without doubt political.
Bannon's arrest will remind voters that an entire troop of Trump's inner circle is just a bunch of criminals. It looks like Bannon and another man siphoned off a considerable chunk of cash from donations intended for Trump's stupid border wall. The same set of laws will be used on Trump himself in just months.
This is why we need Harris to prosecute the fuck out of the trumpers for their many many criminal actions in the White House and while in 'power.' You can pull the wool over some of the people's eyes some of the time, But not all of the people's all of the time... We see through these illusions and lies.
Zen, would you believe Trump just said he knew nothing about a border wall after he was asked about Bannon's arrest!
