I’m going to put this here for the moment. Perhaps it belongs in a different thread, but I’ll request a mod move it to somewhere more appropriate if need be.
Donald Trump had a foreign creditor he failed to disclose while running for president in 2016 and after assuming office in 2017.
This was a 19.8 million dollar loan from a South Korean company with [historical] ties to North Korea.
None of this was apparent on disclosure reports that Trump, whose representatives did not respond to requests for comment, filed with the Office of Government Ethics. “If someone does not disclose a loan, OGE has no way to know,” says Walter Shaub, who ran that agency when Trump took office. Don Fox, who also once headed the office, adds: “The system is kind of predicated upon people actually following a law because they want to follow the law.”
“And presumably,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor interjected, “that would be the same Ku Klux Klan outfit regardless whether if the child was Black or white or any other characteristic.”
That’s when Alito decided to make a “joke,” while thousands of Americans were listening to the Court’s live proceedings.
“You do see a lot of Black children in Ku Klux Klan outfits all the time,” he said, presumably sarcastically.
He then laughed, and some viewers in the gallery joined with him.
Rittenhouse is a murderer, by virtue of the fact that he murdered. If he ever went to an actual trial, instead of the farce he faced, he would have been convicted. The argument that got him acquitted is that it’s impossible to be guilty of murder if you have a gun, because having a gun creates the risk that someone else will take your gun and shoot you, and therefore any killing by a person with a gun qualifies as self-defense. We really shouldn’t have to point out how absurd that argument is.
The problem is, he made the joke to try to cover for a stupid point. He was saying, essentially, “okay, so if a white Santa doesn’t want to have a black child sit on his lap how is that any different that a black Santa not wanting to have a baby in a KKK outfit on his lap?” … as though what a person wears is the same as what color a person’s skin is. So he was basically saying, “yeah, it would only be a white baby in a Klan hood.”

Tens of thousands of Georgians will go to the poll in the senate runoff and vote for party over country. Herschel Walker, an empty Georgia football shirt of a man will get those votes. Serial sex abuser, serial abortionist, serial out of wedlock children fatherer, threatener of murder to ex-wife with a gun to her head, admitted mental illness, probable brain damage (CTE) from football, serial liar, felony voter in Georgia (not a resident, but an inhabitant), illiterate, on and on - and those are his qualifications!! This abomination finished his campaigning at - of course - a gun range.
Why? He’ll be the house Senate N*****; do what he’s told, and get paraded around as the latest MAGA mascot like pizza king (RIP), Tim Scott, Diamond and Silk, Clarence Thomas, Candace Owens and others.
Mitch McConnell campaigned for him (at least fund raising) after bemoaning the lack of quality candidates.
And now we have an endorsement from:
Sen. John Kennedy Urges Georgia to Pick Herschel Walker Instead of ‘High IQ’ People
The Louisiana senator added his voice to the bizarre chorus that was Walker’s final weekend of campaigning.
As if we need more stupid in Congress. Perhaps Sen. Kennedy is lonely as the lowest dredge of humanity the GQP has dug up. He’s down there with Tuberville, AL and Markwayne Mullin, OK.
