The Many Faces of US Politics...

[J70]

I wonder if/when the current shower of shite leaves the WH there may be a day of reckoning for all the current criminality/corruption.

Starting with Hesgeth.

No, becuase if the Dems somehow win in 2028, they'll appoint an ultra-cautious, by-the-book, AG like Merrick Garland who still thinks in the manner of a normal, responsible, before-times justice official and bends over backwards not to be seen as partisan.

Besides, Trump will pardon everyone in advance anyway, especially the likes of Hegseth, Bondi, Patel and Noem.

And yeah, Biden did that with the likes of Liz Cheney, but that was specifically because he knew bogus investigations and indictments would be coming as we have seen with James Comey and Tish James.

   It took dozens of special agents the best part of a decade to bring Juan Orlando Hernández to justice for flooding US cities with cocaine. Then, in a single social media post last week, Donald Trump set the former Honduran president free.

"People risked their lives for this investigation," said a former agent at the US Drug Enforcement Administration, one of several law enforcement officials involved in tracking Hernández who voiced their frustration to the Financial Times. "Why are we taking a tough stance against [Venezuela's] Nicolás Maduro . . . and letting this guy go?"

The pardon of Hernández is one of dozens issued by the US president over the past year to an array of convicted fraudsters, drug traffickers, tax evaders and unregistered foreign agents that have upended the American justice system and angered many within his own coalition.

[Look-Up!]

Trump may be very good at manipulation and self promotion but overall is an extremely dangerous idiot. Very domineering with insane ego and thinks he's a genius and always the smartest man in the room. But basically just operates on whims and instinct. Harmless enough to an extent when he was just bankrupting casinos and stiffing contractors, but given the office he holds, a disaster waiting to happen. WTF must some in those agencies be thinking.

Rubio has ordered US Embassies to go back to using the Times Roman font instead Calabri.
That will drive back the woke tide.

Big expose in the NY Times about Biden's immigration disaster

I wonder if they had actually reported on it when it mattered would Trump have gotten a second term

I see a woman with a good Irsh name bet the daylights out of Whitey's and the Orange piece of sh1te's candidate in Miami.

I'm a registered independent so I had no candidate in this election

By all accounts the Democrats are finally putting forward candidates who aren't flat out insane

If I have a choice of 2 insane candidates, I will typically vote for the one who aligns with my financial self interests.

LOL

I know he got a second term

If the NY Times had exposed the disastrous policies as they were unfolding, would that have forced Joe and (Border Czar) Kamal to course correct earlier (and possibly not have handed Trump a winning issue)

takeaways from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's '60 Minutes' interview

Greene says Republicans in Congress make fun of Trump behind his back

The Georgian said it would "shock people" to hear how her GOP colleagues talk about the president behind closed doors.
Greene said, as recently as last year, her colleagues would make fun of Trump but started "kissing his a‑‑" when he won the 2024 GOP primary.
"Behind the scenes, do they talk differently?" CBS anchor Lesley Stahl asked in the interview, which aired Sunday.
"Yes," Greene said.
"How?"
"Oh it's, it would shock people," Greene replied.
"Well, let's shock people," Stahl said.
"OK. I watched many of my colleagues go from making fun of him, making fun of how he talks, making fun of me constantly for supporting him, to when he won the primary in 2024 they all started — excuse my language, Lesley — kissing his a‑‑ and decided to put on a MAGA hat for the first time," Greene continued.



Greene says Republicans are terrified of Trump
Greene told Stahl that more Republicans don't speak out against the president when they disagree with him because they're "terrified" of being targeted by him.
"I'm going to ask you about the almost solid support he has among Republicans in Congress. Is there, in that support, fear? Does the support come about because they're afraid that they'll get death threats?" Stahl asked.
"I think they're terrified to step out of line and get a nasty Truth Social post on them, yes," Greene responded.
"And they're watching what happened to you?"
"Yes," Greene replied


Greene says Trump fueled death threats against her Family

The Georgia Republican said the president's own words "directly fueled" death threats against her son.
"The subject line for the direct death threats on my son was his words: 'Marjorie Traitor Greene,'" Greene said, referring to the president's newfound label for her.
"Those were death threats directly fueled by President Trump," Greene added.
She said she alerted the president and Vice President Vance to the death threats, and Trump, according to Greene, sent an "extremely unkind" response.
"I told him. I told JD Vance. I told them all. Sent those directly to them," Greene said. "JD Vance replied back to me, 'We'll look into it.' I got [a] response from President Trump that I will keep private, but it wasn't very nice."
Stahl pressed: "Give us a hint of what the president said."
"It was extremely unkind," Greene replied


Greene say Trump policies aren't American First

Greene also reiterated her concern that the president is too focused on his international agenda and isn't prioritizing needs of Americans.
"For an America First president, the No. 1 focus should have been domestic policy, and it wasn't. And so, of course I was critical, because those were my campaign promises. Once we fix


everything here, then, fine, we'll talk to the rest of the world," she said.

Greene also noted that when the president labeled her a traitor was around the same time he was entertaining controversial figures in the Oval Office.

"He did this in the same time span where President Trump brought in the al Qaeda leader that was wanted by the U.S. government, who is now the president of Syria. Then within a week, he brought in the [Saudi] crown prince, MBS [Mohammed bin Salman], who murdered an American journalist. And then he brought in the newly elected democrat socialist mayor of New York," she said. "That was the time span that he called me a traitor."

Greene now describes her ideological viewpoint as "America First" but wouldn't accept the MAGA label.

"Are you MAGA?" Stahl asked.

"I'm America First," Greene said.

"And that's not the same as MAGA?" Stahl followed up.

"MAGA is President Trump's phrase," Greene said. "That's his, his political policies. I call myself America First."

"But you're, you're not saying you're MAGA. That's over," Stahl said.

"I'm America First. Yep," Greene added, shaking her head no.

Greene says she's not planning on running for president


Greene said she has no further political ambitions at the moment.

"People want to know, is this a true conversion, a true change of heart? Or is it kind of a shrewd political calculation? A lot of people think you're doing it and that you, in a year or so, are going to run for some other office," Stahl asked Greene.

"I have zero plans, zero desire to run for president. I would hate the Senate. I'm not running for governor," Greene replied, noting people in Washington find it hard to believe there isn't a long-term plan.

"Lesley, it doesn't matter how many times I say it. I'll have face-to-face conversations with people, and I'll flat out tell them to their face, and they won't believe me. And they're like, 'Oh yeah, sure.' They'll wink at me, and I'm like, 'OK,'" Greene said.

"It's like, I don't know how to make it more clear," she continued.


Greene criticizes Trump on Epstein


Greene said the president was "extremely angry" that she signed the discharge petition backing the release of files concerning Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender accused of trafficking girls as young as 14. 



He said that it was going to hurt people," she said. "I had asked him, 'These women are the ones that were hurt. They were raped at 14. They were raped at 16. I watched them stand in front of the press trembling, their bodies shaking as they were telling their stories, many of them for the first time.' And I had told him, I said, 'You know, you have all kinds of people come in the White House, have these women come in the White House. These women deserve to be heard.'"

LOL

Trump won because there are massive swathes of horrible people out there who just want a white nation for a white people with whom their financial self interest best lies. But they still want their tacos.

What's your favourite? Hopefully not something boring like pollo.

The election was decided by the swing voters in the swing states

Were they " horrible people who just wanted a white nation for a white people" when they voted for Joe in 2020?

He got 77,000,000 votes

He won the popular vote

He won the electoral college

He won't all 7 swing states

He increased his share of the vote in 83% of the counties over what he got in 2020

You can point all the fingers you want. The Democrats lost because they put up a crap candidate and people were furious over the open borders policy the the Biden admin
