Erick Erickson, a Georgia Republican insider, said bluntly on Friday that former President Donald Trump is in real trouble after his frantic efforts to make himself more palatable to voters who believe in reproductive rights and other key issues.
Writing on X, Erickson claimed to have had "privat...
25 years of organized propaganda (fox news, talk radio, etc.). I live amongst Trump supporters, they truly believe prices will come down and they will make more money.
my mom believes that we’re being “invaded” by illegals. i said, “stop using that term. it’s offensive and racist.”
“that’s what they are. they broke the law,” she shot back.
“and you’re offensive and racist. and i suppose that means you’re an illegal, too, since you jaywalked earlier?” I replied.
“illegal immigrants are felons!” she shouted at me.
“like Trump? so, he’s a 34-times illegal, then? and you’re voting for him?”
“that’s different!” she screamed
there’s no reasoning with these people
You can’t reason people out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into
Ain’t that a fucking truth. Ironically, it was my grandfather, my mother’s father, who first told me that
my favorite wisdom that has been passed down and not followed is: “Don’t believe everything you see on the Internet”
Gullible turds.
trump the illegal, I like it.
Third generation draft dodger.
His grandfather escaped Germany so he didn’t get drafted for WWI.
All in the family.
Ivan the terrible.
Putin the humiliated.
Trump the illegal.
To give Ivan some credit, his title is so old that it originally meant something more like Ivan the Terri_fying_
It’s my understanding that illegally entering the country is a misdemeanor, and illegally reentering the country is a felony. It is an amplifying action for a huge number of other felonies though. Am I wrong? 8* Usc section 1325 vs 8 Usc section 1326.
It was always my understanding that entering the country to claim asylum was not illegal at all
It’s also a civil violation, not a criminal one.
Not all laws are just.
I was on a grand jury once and most of the charges were for marijuana. I tried to convince the jury we should nullify, because sending teenagers to jail for pot is cruel. No one took me up on this. (A grand jury is simple majority, and the defense has no role in the proceedings. Side note: every time a cop isn’t indicated it’s because the prosecutor didn’t want to.)
There was a little old white lady who sat behind me on the jury. She said well that’s the law and if it’s bad we should change it. Fine, I said. But imagine it’s 1950 and you’re on a trial for a black man who sat at an all white’s counter. Would you indict? Would that be the right thing to do?
She went, “oh… mm I don’t know”. And I don’t think she meant because of peer pressure or imagining she only had the perspective of a white person from the 50s. I think she was just a very Lawful-Neutral person.
Anyway. The point I was trying to get at is a lot of people have garbage moral reasoning.
Fox News is absolutely one of the cause, but we can’t ignore Rush Limbaugh. He corrupted SO MANY people over the years, it’s absurd. I feel like a lot of people forget about that.
yep, racism is a helluva drug. It’s the poor brown peoples’ fault, not the billionaires who actually decide what happens.
