Joe Smith said...: Am guessing the Trump indictment will occur on the 22nd (Monday) for maximum press coverage...

If not then, some other Monday.

If they actually do arrest him, if I were Trump I would insist on being handcuffed and paraded out in front of the cameras...great campaign material : ); 8/17/22, 2:48 PM
Joe Smith said...: White teachers to be fired first.

Fucking fantastic...I love this!

Every teacher I ever knew (and I've known many) was a flaming lib.

This is what they literally voted for both in elections and in their union contract.

Delicious!; 8/17/22, 2:52 PM

God forgive me, but I would love for Trump to come out of Maralago like Rambo in First Blood. Or Arnold as the first Terminator.

But I don't really want anyone to get hurt. Just a daydream. Plus that would be suicide, and I want Trump to live for awhile.; 8/17/22, 3:26 PM
jim5301 said...: You guys are so out of touch with reality that you would cheer for Trump if he was convicted of steeling classified info and selling it to the Russians. In fact, there is nothing he could do to lose your support. He could kill your kids and you would love him more than ever.

Thankfully, the majority of Americans have not joined your cult. Good luck getting out. Do it for your grandkids, so they won't have to defend your actions in 50 years.; 8/17/22, 3:37 PM
Mark said...: Latest Marquette poll has Ron Johnson underwater. Given some of his statements and policy positions, it's going to be hard to get any independents back.

Maybe fear of a black Senator will do it for him, but the only way Ron wins is going negative.; 8/17/22, 3:46 PM

Joe Smith said...: "You guys are so out of touch with reality that you would cheer for Trump if he was convicted of steeling classified info and selling it to the Russians."

You are a deluded fucking moron if you think Trump is selling secrets to anyone.

I hate Hillary Clinton with the heat of a thousand suns, but even I wouldn't accuse her of something like that.

Humperdink said...: Ever wonder why the mainline religious denominations are bleeding members? One reason they typically the gospel they preach is from the newspaper as opposed to the Bible. The Episcopal church brings us the latest example.

"Resolution D066, passed by the 80th General Convention, is titled “Addressing restrictions on access to gender affirming care.”

It calls for the Episcopal Church to “advocate for access to gender affirming care in all forms (social, medical, or any other) and at all ages.” It goes on to say that advocating for sex change operations is “part of our Baptismal call to respect the dignity of every human being.”

Howard said...: jim5301: What I find sad is whenever I'm deep in Downeast and Upstate Trump country, the folks in public seem sickly, depressed and lethargic. I think the necessity to instill paranoia, fear and angst is the worst part of what feeds the Trump phenomenon. This no doubt exacerbates the young demographic and brain drain migration out of these rural regions causing economic stagnation and increasing government reliance.

If you are going to continue with your insane conspiracy theories and projection psychoses, why not go for broke?

Why not just accuse Trump of building a secret nuclear arsenal with North Korean assistance, basing those missiles out of a secret lair at Mar a Lago, and then threatening to destroy the moon and altering the earth's trajectory unless he is paid.....(pinkie held to lip)..1 Trillion dollars!!!; 8/17/22, 4:32 PM
TheOne Who Is Not Obeyed said...: "Maybe fear of a black Senator will do it for him, but the only way Ron wins is going negative"

Well...Barnes, the Dems, and their outside dark money have already gone negative so this is rather a silly little statement.

It would also be good of you to quit projecting your anti-black bigotry on the rest of Wisconsin's citizens. Otherwise you just come across as a run-of-the-mill liberal idiot instead of the fun, erudite, liberal idiot we know and love.; 8/17/22, 4:51 PM

So no, we don’t care about a former president having documents. We don’t care about what you call an insurrection. We don’t care about whatever made up, pulled from your butt reason you have to scream about Trump today.

You didn’t start screaming until Trump.

So shut up.

And Lake herself enthused that, after she'd heard people describe her as "the DeSantis of the West," she'd considered it the "greatest compliment" she could imagine, short of being called "Trump in a dress."

Humperdink said...: I have it on good authority that President Trump was prepared to sell the nuclear secrets to Chinese spies. Unfortunately, before the deal could be consummated, the two Chinese spies in question, Fang Bang, Eric Swalwell's (D-Ca) paramour and Diane Feinstein's (D-CA) chauffer fled the country.; 8/17/22, 5:55 PM

Think about how psychotic one would have to be to just think this of others. Then, think how much worse it is to believe such insanity.

Kate said...: Let The Atlantic post a word salad about Islam equivalent to the mess they just wrote about Catholicism. Even with their rant about gun-toting rad-trads, they feel completely safe in their slander.

And their ignorance. The rosary has always, by every Catholic, been considered a weapon. Prayer and Our Lady is the strength we turn to. I shouldn't be upset by the idiocy and cruelty, but I am forever shocked by the latest depth to which they sink.; 8/17/22, 6:57 PM
Drago said...: Readering: "Trump Org CFO Weisselberg to plead to 15 counts and be available to testify against corporate co-defendants at their October trial. I suspect they will also plead to avoid testimony about the owner."

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Purposefully lying, or hopelessly ignorant? Since with readering its usually both, we'll go with 60% ignorant and 40% simply lying.

Weisselberg plead guilty to essentially stealing from the company. The "owner" had nothing to do with it.

Further, even though the prosecutors are desperate for someone, anyone, close to Trump to lie about him so they can conjure up a prosecution in a deep blue corrupted judicial environment, that just ain't happening.

Same thing happened with Manafort after the DOJ/FBI worked hand in glove with their bosses at the DNC and Hillary campaign to give Tony Podesta full immunity, for FARA violations, so that Podesta could testify against Manafort for.....FARA violations. Manafort was also popped for tax issues from years earlier prior to working with the Trump campaign.

It sure helps your prospects with the DOJ/FBI if your brother is the head of the Hillary campaign that is already working with the DOJ/FBI/CIA/NSA to frame Trump for russian collusion.; 8/17/22, 7:02 PM
Dr Weevil said...: Interestingly, Biden did kill some of our kids, 14 at least*, in Afghanistan with his grotesque incompetence, but lots of Americans keep cheering for him. Trump did no such thing. Are Trump-haters projecting?

*Everyone says 13 soldiers and marines were killed evacuating Kabul, but I recall that at least one more did of wounds a day or two later.; 8/17/22, 7:04 PM
Maynard said...: What is it with you guys and the Russians? You used to love them, back when they were the HQ of the Soviet Union.

Dems still love the Russians. After Hillary was given a few hundred million bucks from Russian oligarchs, they had to project Russian Collusion onto Trump. Another example of the Deep State protecting itself.

The weak minded lefties have bought this crap hook, line and sinker. The DNC media enforce this thinking because they are envious of the Soviets and the control they had over the deplorables.; 8/17/22, 7:18 PM

If jim5301 was trolling, as suggested above, it was a particularly unsavory brand thereof. Thank you, iman, for finally calling xim out.

jim5301, try something novel: try considering that your political opponents love their spouses and children, that they have philosophical underpinnings for their positions, and that a large part of what we disagree on are details of execution.

Then again, I may be foolishly talking to a liberal of an earlier time, rather than a progressive of today who - by all available evidence - privileges some kind of DNA- or (weirdly) pretend-DNA-in-the-form-of-feelings-based "critical difference" over actual behavior and results.; 8/17/22, 9:38 PM

Christopher B said...: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil. -Charles Krauthammer

Haven't seen anything in the last two decades to make me think the good Doctor was wrong. I do think that the fundamental difference, contrary to the belief of Ron White and others, is that you can fix stupid. You can only destroy evil. At some point either conservatives are going to seriously start thinking, "it's us or them", or the more sane liberals are going to figure out the direction the rest of their herd is going.; 8/18/22, 6:22 AM
Jefferson's Revenge said...: While everyone is talking about Trump the D’s are suddenly in a good spot to increase control of the Senate and minimize losses in the House. Increased control of the Senate gives them everything; a packed court, DC statehood, control of voting laws, etc.

You are being played for fools by the D’s. They knew that making the conversation about Trump would distract from their horrible record. Forget about Trump. Forget about your fucking RINO purity tests. The only conversation should be about the D agenda and the D failure as a governing party everywhere.

For example, has anyone noticed that the D’s raided Trump just as Hunter’s bribery and tax issues were being covered more broadly? The raid changed the topic and you fell for it.

Scream all you want. You are reacting just like they expected.; 8/18/22, 6:41 AM

You are falling for the democratical's fake polls. You are the one jumping at the D's commands. I suspect its not the first time.

There is no way to "forget" about Trump. And it's your RINO-driven MAGA purity tests that is sending the party over the edge.

The populist broad-based working class America First agenda IS the agenda for a working republican majority. So why don't you get on board with that?

Truth needs to be repeatedly "endlessly", despite the now apparent fact that it cannot penetrate a leftist's cranium.

Even the NYT, probably thru gritted teeth, have admitted that this in no way involves Trump, even though readering keeps implying there is still hope that the walls may be closing in!

Prosecuting an executive for unreported perks over years...in Manhattan!! Every single executive in Manhattan could be prosecuted for that...but this, like all the others, is another Trump Special prosecution.

I'm surprised readering didn't somehow work in some russian angle on this latest farce. At least that would have been entertaining.; 8/18/22, 10:58 AM
Jefferson's Revenge said...: Drago- You miss the point- I am fully on board with the America First agenda. But I know that people have to get elected to implement it. Trump is a man. He is not the agenda.

Why are you talking about Trump when he is not running in 2022? I am saying that to get the agenda enacted we must take the Senate in 2022 and increase our side in the House. If we don't do that, especially the Senate, the D's will be able to enact their wish list and once they do, meaningful elections in the country are over.

If the D's win in 2022, it doesn't matter what the R's do in 2024. If you think the D's stole 2020, wait till 2024 with a D Senate and House. The R's could run a combination of Christ, Gandhi and Muhammed and they would still lose.; 8/18/22, 3:23 PM
