Politics What is happening????

Feeling a little better about the 45m hit he's getting now and after reading how he has several more lawsuits to damage his bank, maybe he will get hurt by the time it's sort of over.
$4m is just "operating cost" kind of fines for his grifting.

I still don't understand how anyone can choose lying, grifting and harming people for a living. He's a psychopath, but I just don't get the psychology of how people get into this this kind of thing.
It's far worse than just being a ransom hacker or even just a snake oil grifter. Folks who know AJ seem to say he's been an ass hole spewing bullshit since his school days...

Aside from the disgust I feel about him, I'm really curious about the psychology behind what drives someone to do this, and how anyone can seek out employment with someone like him...for instance all the sick-o mega church grifters selling apocalypse food like Jim Baker and his buckets of cheese broccoli and the huge operation that is needed to create his show.
I couldn't even make it through learning to demonstrate Kirby vacuum cleaners let alone deluding people about apocalypse fantasy.

It just makes me wonder where or how people develop a moral compass. I know I have a sense of right and wrong, but I'm not exactly sure what I used to build it, or where it came from.

I'm glad Breanna's killers will get charged, but again I'm really sick of mourning the death of brown people at the hands of white police.

What else is happening... Brittney Griner, this is a horror show. But as much as I feel horrible about her situation I feel like it was incredibly stupid of her to bring weed oil to Russia or even concider going to Russia at all. It's a fucking bear trap, don't put your foot in a bear trap ! How hard is that to understand ??

 

Trump appeared before the NY Attorney General today for a deposition under oath in the AG's civil investigation of alleged tax fraud and insurance fraud by the Trump Organization. He answered one question, his name, then pleaded the "fifth amendment" over 400 times. This was after a rant he posted last night calling the NY Attorney General a "racist."

Trump took Fifth Amendment more than 440 times in refusing to answer New York attorney general’s questions

This is the same Trump who said in Sept, 2016,
"You see the mob takes the Fifth. if you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"

Whats's next in this civil case by the NY Attorney General?

Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Donald Trump, Jr. have all been deposed by NY's attorney general's office — now what?

When an organization is so persistently corrupt over years and years and is deemed to be unsalvageable as a trustworthy organization given its leadership, the best remedy in the public interest may be the "death penalty."

 

On Tuesday NPD Trump also lost his appeal of the ruling that he must turn over his tax returns to the House Ways & Means Committee. The bad news is the appeal can be taken to the Supreme Court.

It's been a bad week for NPD Trump. I just hope it continues.

 

Texas will greatly reduce the punitive damages, most likely the 750K limit allowed by state law. Alex Jones faces a similar trials, some in states that also limit damages, but one state lets punitive damages stand.

 

I wonder if the secret service is required to keep ongoing records of who visits T at Mara Logo. If the papers have been there a year, God knows how many eyeballs have been on them..
Not to mention xerox machines ?? Imaging any hdd's etc for whoever wants to pay for the info ?
Putin seem to have control over trump similar as trump controls the GOP so maybe it's all Putin working the chess board. He's certainly smart enough, and a megalomaniac.

 

This' the same Secret Service that deleted phone records from Jan 05 & 06, 2021.

 

I didn't mean to click funny, but to agree with you there... forgot about that..

I did see this article the other day about how folks dig in heels over their closely held views of the world etc... interesting but no real path to sanity that I can imagine happening.
Shit even after loosing his son to covid Chuck Woolery has no problem at all hawking bullshit gold coins. I guess financial bullshit is ok but maybe healthcare bullshit isn't as ok ?

Cognitive Biases and Brain Biology Help Explain Why Facts Don't Change Minds - UConn Today

 

I find the above is especially true in lower IQ people. When they can't adequately defend or justify their beliefs when faced with facts that challenge those beliefs, they withdraw further into what they "know."

 

The FBI.

The Secret Service.

The Pentagon.

And ???

Oh Rusty Rusty Rusty...good going on the J6 panel...
But really...your brain rust is really hindering your perception.
Drill a hole on the top of your skull, pour in some vinegar and let it set overnight.
Next morning get on your Teeter inverter and let all the vinegar drain. Repeat rapidly with water to clear out the loose rust and rince out the vinegar.

So...I don't feel like I've been blindly indoctrinated into lefty views. Maybe I have to a degree ? I don't know.
But I've never felt the left is heading to an organized mass take over of culture, politics and religion as I have with the GOP.

I don't get how people lack the gut feeling of being lied to regardless of how little they understand the full details of things...
I mean I don't have much political book learnin' but I can see...for instance the wide eyed look on Liz Cheney's opponent that says to me...she knows she's lying to gain power and money and also avoid the wrath of trump and his murderous ideating followers. Literally, murderous.
Those wide open eyes, amazed at her own predicament and what she's done, accepted lies for gains, dragging her constituents deeper into a false reality. What's wrong with ppl in Wyoming that most can't see even basic facial expressions as you would see in a child who broke the lamp but is trying to avoid punishment ??
Really, that's all I'm relying on most of the time, and a moral framework from watching Leave it to Beaver...see Eddy Haskell ? Don't act like that !!
How fucking hard is that ??

 

Amazing how many politicians "see the light" AFTER being defeated.

It reminds me of people finding Gawd after the reality of prison sets in.

 

Are Russia and Iran cooking up a recipe for a ‘Red Armageddon’? | The Hill

Not much to add here but maybe wondering what T did to help with ground work on this...
Maybe provide access to the boxes at Mara Lago ?

If the ass holes blow up shit the big way there won't be much world to live in. I feel sorry for folks who have kids, or young adults.
