The former. The Bee occasionally stumbles into ‘clever’ but this is almost always by accident
It’s being called the Flamingo Revolution, because that island is a sanctuary for the endangered birds.
Another dupe who still likes Dump. US wife wants to visit Trump Doral hotel and possible glimpse the POS. Well things didn’t go as planned. Husband gets detained as criminal illegal per DHS. Whole story here. Tough on family and scathing indictment of DHS and immigration program.
“I’m his fan. I believe Trump is a good president,” she said. However, Zaragosa noted this political loyalty co-exists with the disappointment she feels over the months her husband spent in detention.
Trump supporters are so fucking stupid.
“I thought that was it — that my family was over. I thought I would wake up one day and find that I had lost him,” Zaragosa said, “that I would be left all alone with my son.”
Obviously you don’t love your husband that much, lady, if you’re still a fan of the scumbag who did all that to him.
What do you expect from someone who can’t even write the name of the city they came from right?
You mean Caesaraugusta?
From the article,
He spent more than three months in ICE custody in Florida. Rojas also faced accusations of gang affiliation; he says he feared being deported to El Salvador and lost his stable job and work permit. The family says they’ve lost their house and car, had to deplete Rojas’ 401(k) and are in debt.
“In the end, it was a bad decision,” Rojas, 34, said in an interview
Ya think?
Some people won’t change until they personally feel the pain, and being in a cult is a powerful anesthetic.
Agreed. The term cognitive dissonance comes to mind.
And yes, this is all typical of cult psychology. Who do you value more on a personal level? Your husband or your cult leader? As far as the cult is concerned there’s only one correct answer to that question.
This type of situation is becoming distressingly more common it seems like.
Incriminated Trump lawyer begs state judge to respect president’s pardon
President Donald Trump’s former campaign attorney is facing 11 counts of forgery in the state of Wisconsin for his role in the president’s fake elector scheme to overthrow a legitimate U.S. election. Now the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports he wants a Wisconsin judge to let him off the hook.
…
“… President Trump has chosen to pardon him,” Troupis’ attorneys argued.
Dude. Presidential pardons don’t work for state charges. Too bad, so sad.
Additionally, Troupis is asking the judge to move his case to Jefferson County, arguing that he won’t get a fair trial in Dane County due to the ballots he sought to victimize and disqualify during the 2020 recount were from Dane County voters.
“Here, the ‘victims’ will include, at the very least, all Dane County residents whose votes were challenged. That is so because jurors will be told, repeatedly, that Troupis tried to unlawfully throw out their votes, their family’s votes, their friend’s votes, their neighbor’s votes,”
If the case is moved, the jurors will be told, repeatedly, that Troupis tried to unlawfully throw out the votes of other state residents, the residents’ families’ votes, their friends in other districts’ votes, and their other residents, neighbours’ votes.
And, “Trump pardoned me,” is not the flex he thinks it is.
Correct. A pardon does not absolve a person of guilt. That might have been the legal theory at one time, but it isn’t currently.
Congress.gov: ArtII.S2.C1.3.7 Legal Effect of a Pardon
Later cases underscored the limits of the Court’s previous sweeping language. First, contrary to the suggestion of Garland that a pardon blots out of existence the guilt associated with the offense,8 the Court in Burdick stated that a pardon carries an imputation of guilt; acceptance a confession of it.9 Then, in Carlesi v. New York, the Court determined that a pardoned offense could still be considered as a circumstance of aggravation under a state habitual-offender law,10 reflecting that although a pardon may obviate the punishment for a federal crime, it does not erase the facts associated with the crime or preclude all collateral effects arising from those facts.
I like it when people read my links ![]()
What about the rest of those bozos that actually petended to be electors and showed up at the capitol? Are they in prison yet?
It’s AI altered but hopefully a common sight soon.
I have avoided Mr. Potato Head and his Big Gay Birthday Bash [South Park reference
], but I just saw this on Farcebook:
Did Trump REALLY just blame the weather channel for no one showing up to his $60 million cage fight birthday?
What did I miss?
Oy, veh/
A moment of schadenfreude!
“Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning. He is receiving excellent care,” spokesperson David Popp said.
The statement did not address the cause of McConnell’s hospitalization or his condition.
I hope he has a very, very long protracted recovery but doesn’t retire and let anyone fill his post prior to the upcoming election to further screw with any last minute efforts to push MAGA efforts in the Senate.
I don’t like to kick anyone when they’re down, but McConnell has done a lot of awful things to this country over the years, and now… well, I’d probably better just stop there. Grrrrr.
You should get it all out now! That way you don’t have to speak ill of the dead.
