The Many Faces of US Politics...

[Captain Scarlet]

My expert analysis is that it's a mad country.

Like when you look at the people behind Trump there are so many opposites and contradicting elements.

Surely there is scope for more parties? It'll go south soon. They won't hold for the entire term.

Musk will go in with AfD. Maga will fall out with him too.

The firings will start within the year.

There's a province in Mozambique called Gaza where they were sent to help stop the prevention of HIV apparently

Don't tell the Zionists, they'll claim that as well based on some old book or other!

Why is Trump going to bat for Eric Adams, a Democrat Mayor?

Why is Trump going to bat for Eric Adams, a Democrat Mayor?

Because Adams sucked up to him

[whitey]

Why is Trump going to bat for Eric Adams, a Democrat Mayor?

Because Adams sucked up to him

Because Adams wants to make the safety of his residents a priority (instead of pandering to the Democratic open borders policies of the prior administration)

Jesus Whitey talks some shite.  Open borders policy ffs.

Trump is entirely transactional.  It has nothing to do with the safety of anyone.  It has to do with what he's done for Trump (or will do).

As their recent behaviour and voting patterns indicate most Americans are in that category...

" Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers Thursday night at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation's nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.

Sources told CNN the officials did not seem to know this agency oversees America's nuclear weapons."

But at least egg prices are [checks notes]...no, wait...At least those trans kids can't play sport anymore.

Sorry, but that's nonsense whitey. Adams presided over and participated in web of seedy corruption, with numerous aides and appointees having to resign in disgrace last year. And I'm speaking as someone who voted for him and who is sympathetic to his complaints about the strain on resources imposed by the large quantity asylum seekers he had to look after.

We've had seven resignations from the Southern District, and the case was only dropped (in a conditional quid pro quo that has nothing to do with the merits of the case or Adams' personal conduct, as he was publicly and humiliatingly assured when he appeared on Fox and Friends with Homan like a good little doggy) after the Justice Department lackey gave the rest of the assistant US attorneys an hour for someone to put their name on it or they'd all be fired. The head US attorney was only in the job a couple of weeks and, being a former Scalia clerk, is hardly a bleeding heart liberal.

One of her underlings (a former Chief Justice Roberts clerk) wrote, when he resigned:
"...Any assistant U.S. attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way. If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me."

Adams is fucked. No way in hell he wins re-election. Trump is welcome to him. He'll fit right in.

Perception is reality

He is the only big city Democratic Mayor (that I know of) to speak out against the open borders policy (tongue in cheek description on my part) of the prior administration and next thing hes in the cross hairs of an indictment

The Democrats used "lawfare" against all manner of political opponents during the Biden administration so my skepticism that these charges are nothing more than a political hit job ais well grounded

FFS-i think Bill Deblasio (aka Warren Wilhelm) had way more serious charges swept under the carpet, but hes a Democratic lackey so they went nowhere

Are Ireland exposed as much as other countries who have been hit by tariffs or is the fact that the actual exporters are big US pharma mean the risk is less.

So...

1. The opinions of GOP actual professional lawyers, including the acting head appointed by Trump a month ago, are irrelevant.

2. The fact that this is a completely, openly and brazenly politically motivated (provisional) dropping of charges in return for completely irrelevant political action and nothing whatsoever to do with the case is also irrelevant.

3. DeBlasio was apparently worse and got away with it despite half of his tenure being under Trump (you're free to outline the comparisons).

4. Lawfare all over the place. Tell us more...

How about all Adams' appointees and aides. Are they getting the same deal?

Latisha James/Alvin Bragg hit job on Trump

Hunter Biden Laptop Suppression

Russia Collusion Hoax

Democrats hiding Joes decline for 4 years

CBS stealth editing of Kamala's interview to make her seem coherent

I honestly couldn't give 2 fvcks what any of them do

BOTH parties should be absolutely ashamed of themselves

Trump and his cohorts are truly despicable, but are no better or worse than the Democrats
