Good to know, but made my asshole pucker a little bit when I first read that because you know he is going to scream bloody murder about this being total proof of impropriety by the jury, which puts them in additional danger among other things…
There’s a lot of talk about inflation and its causes. Is it corporate greed? Supply chain issues? One clear base cause of inflation less talked about is having an inflationary currency supply. Any other inflation caused by supply chain issues, corporate greed, lack of market competition, etc is just added on top of that. Fiat...
Then why was Michael Cohen convicted? Was that a political persecution too, or are you just crying foul because somebody finally held your knuckle-dragging god king to account for once in his miserably pathetic fucking existence?
I’m only interested in prison in the Federal cases, and that will only happen if and when he loses the election. After that I want Jack Smith to go full gloves off on the classified documents case, force the 11th circuits hand to recuse Loose Cannon, and then sit his fucking ass in court where they are pushing for life in prison without the possibility of parole. Then he can sit in his special cell all by himself with his secret service detail while he slowly rots from the inside out.
Locking him up over this conviction will only serve to embolden him, and win him sympathy amongst low information voters. Getting a conviction for colluding to retain state secrets, and potentially selling them to foreign actors is a whole different ball game chief. None of the prosecutions that matter are getting done before the election. That is just the fucking facts. I want him getting fisted in the ass with no lube by the Justice Department, and throwing him in jail now guarantees that never happens. Use your brain.
If they sentence him to prison now, he will never see the inside of a cell before the election. It only helps his cause. You are so god damn naive if you don’t think that is the case. I’m looking for hard fucking time, no more pussyfooting, no more saber ratling. In order to do that he has to first lose the election, and then get bent over by the DOJ. That is the only way we have a chance of getting justice. If you don’t believe that then that’s on you, but you are 1000% fucking wrong.
It does not help him among the Republicans who are passively accepting Trump, or anyone else.
See, you say that, but that is a historically illiterate perspective. The guy feeds on the medias negativity bias towards him. It literally makes him stronger because the entire Republican media apparatus is now designed to spin any criticism or bad news about him into another attack vector for them to further erode democracy. Their messaging is so overwhelming that this firehose of falsehoods strategy has become unquestionably effective. It no longer matters what the facts are, it’s only about the vibes.
So let me tell you how this is going to go: Trump is going to win because he is the ultimate martyr of white victimhood. The poor white working class will burn this country to the fucking ground before they allow anyone else to be doing perceptually better than them en masse. These people truly believe that the only thing better than helping someone up is standing on their fucking head and watching them drown. So, he is going to win because the American experiment has failed. You can take that to the bank because you know deep down I am exactly right.
You should make peace with that, and accept that the real values that represent the end game of conservative politics have finally shown themselves. There is no going back.
Correct, which is further dragging the Overton window to the right. Everything conservatism touches is tainted, and ultimately destroyed. It is a self-defeating philosophy.
Because that will be a massive escalation that will certainly draw significant retaliation from Russia that could spill over into a full fledged conflict with NATO.

He knew this shit wouldn’t be popular with his base
Did he though? I think it is much more likely that he is either:
(Most Likely Scenario): Living in the past, is completely out of touch with the modern liberal voter base, and is under the illusion that some segment of the older moderates in the base still actively give a fuck about supporting Israel.
(Less Likely Scenario): Trying to strategically thread the needle because he knows that attacking Israel will cause them to further undermine American democracy, and lead to them playing double agent while they assist Russia in installing Donald Trump as president.
In either scenario I believe he thought he was preserving his election chances. What these fucking morons in the entrenched neo-liberal political class fail to realize is that the overwhelming majority of the electorate does not want the US involved in funding any more offensive conflicts, and that there are actually repercussions for the moral disgust people feel over their tax dollars being used to murder innocent people. At some point the “vote for me or get fucked in the ass” proposition fails to be effective anymore, and people just bend over.
