In old enough to remember about 65 years ago, when Trump first took office, when McCain was still alive, and Lindsey Graham was a voice of reasoning inside the republican party when it came to Trump. And then something switched almost instantly - and all of a sudden Graham became a Trump lap dog. Who wants to bet a nickel that his National Inquirer gestapo troops had the escort story and hung it over his head?



Or the Russians hacked his email and have the receipts.

Oh, of course. I mean, we've all pretty much been saying that here (and elsewhere) since Trump took office-he and his Russian cronies must have a whole lotta dirt on other members of the GOP, to help keep them in line. Trump was involved with the mob, after all, he no doubt knows people who could intimidate others. And he's a straight up bully as well.

What the GOP forgets, however, is that secrets don't stay secrets forever, and when it comes to politics, one way or another, the scandals will always, always eventually come out. Especially in this day and age, with hackers and social media outlets and whatnot ready to expose anyone and anything they can find. So if they know or can get access to all the shady dirt that the GOP's been desperately trying to hide these past few years, and if the people who were told to keep quiet are ready to talk, and can find a way to put it all out there, go for it.



Hooray :) :up:.
 
Unemployment numbers off by almost 5 million. I think we are seeing clear market manipularion. This is no accident. Real number 16.1%
 
Ok, these new unemployment numbers are complete bullshit.

10 million people lost their jobs in 2008 - unemployment 10%

30 million people were out of a job at the end of April 2020 - unemployment 14.7% (seemed low then)

40 million people out of work at end of May 2020 - unemployment rate 13.3%?????
Experts were estimating 8 million lost jobs and it ends up 2.5 million gained? WTF is going on here.
Welp...

And if l’m reading correctly, they won’t correct the “mistake“ because it might look like the numbers being manipulated. Isn’t that convenient.

Seriously. We all want jobs to come back. But again, like i said begore, his whole life is failing into success. Here, he fucks up the pandemic so badly, 40 million people lose their jobs. He fights against Dems on stimulus bill, but it gets through. Businesses completely independent of this shit bag, start to open and get people back to work, millions of jobs come back. He does nothing but fuck shit up and then sit back let other people do the work, and he comes out looking like some hero. I just hate him with every cell of my body .
 
Twitter wviscersted about two other people, posting their information and public profiles everywhere causing them to have to go into hiding.

Because everyone wants to be the hero.
Yes the social media doxing is something I'm very uncomfortable with.

Sure, they get the right person a lot... but they also get the wrong person quite often, and it can have serious consequences for their lives, jobs, families.

People will die over a resemblance to someone who they've never met because of these internet detectives.

It’s all a reality tv show to him and his crew. They are all con men (women). Look at the Conways. Playing both sides so Kellyanne has somewhere to fall if Trump is outed in November. It’ll be revealed she was secretly leaking info to the press and/or fighting back. She believed every word her husband said on Twitter and op-eds

Also turns out that Trump and Press Sec committed voter fraud with their mail in ballots. They’ll probably use that as exhibit A to cancel that form of voting this fall haha

They manipulated the numbers and ran a press rally on them. When caught that the numbers are a lie, they do nothing so the media only has the sound bites of the manipulation
 
Amazing protests across Australia today, with everyone complying fully with health regulations and physical distance restrictions.

That's great. There have been and are protests in the US that have included proper social distancing. They just haven't received much media attention at all.

There was one in a neighboring city to where I live. The spots were clearly marked in a large public park and only that number of people participated.
 
Read that yesterday. Trump will put pressure on him and he'll probably cave.

Remember-kneeling athletes are sons of bitches, white nationalists are good people. It's a good day for George Floyd when unemployment numbers go down.

Seriously, where's Trump's "fine people on both sides" comments now? Now these protesters are "terrorists". Funny how that works.

So you're telling me yesterday was not a great day for George Floyd?

Good lord, that clip...as if he couldn't get any more punchable. WHY CAN'T SOMEONE SHUT HIM UP ALREADY?

Finally got out and protested today.

It was a great feeling to be part of something. Weather was excellent and the vibe was good. Everyone was wearing masks and social distancing and the organizers brought food and water for everyone. The goal was stirring up up support and awareness with the people of Reseda driving past the police department.

Protesting for BLM in California is great because the support is already there. Some drivers already had signs and many were shouting support out their windows. Only one that stood out was an old white guy that flipped us off. [emoji23]

I'm nursing a sinus infection and haven't been sleeping well, so I'm gonna get some rest. I'll try to stay at tomorrow's North Hollywood protest a little longer.

Once again, I encourage everyone to give a little of their time. It does make a difference.

Glad to hear things went well, LM :up:.

Apparently there's been a few protests happening in my town recently, too, I guess. Which is a pleasant surprise. I should check into seeing if I can attend one. The mayor's been pretty supportive of them, too, which is nice.

Woo to the news about Ernst.

As for Texas, I saw someone wondering the other day if Bush's recent criticisms about Trump might help Biden's chances in that state. Would be interesting if they did.


Why the hell is anyone even letting this asshole into these places knowing he refuses to wear a mask? Somebody needs to tell him, "You're either putting on a mask or you're not allowed inside."
