It would be surprising if trump wasn’t in the documents. That said, it won’t matter to the cult. trump could be caught w a teen girl & it wouldn’t move the needle. trump & Epstein had a 15 yr bromance. They both “liked ‘em on the young side” and both had plenty of opportunities to rape teen girls.

trump bragged about his sexual assault of women, so a large number of his cult and others believe they have the right to do the same. Likewise, his racism has given a big okay to the racists in America.

It all goes back to 2000, when Gore wasn’t pure enough for Nader and the Naderites. As a result, we got Roberts and Alito, two unnecessary wars, 9/11, the Katrina debacle and the worst recession in 70 yrs. Roberts and Alito have caused near irreparable damage to the country.

trump could be caught w a teenage girl and it wouldn’t move the needle w his cult….60-70M people would still support him.

trump pardoned Gallagher the convicted war criminal. Gallagher is a depraved psycho who casually shot and killed numerous innocent people. He was convicted of killing a teen “terrorist” then posing w the body.
Dick Erickson (@wcoasto.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. I’ll go a credible step further…trump could be caught w a teenage girl and it wouldn’t move the needle w the MAGA cult. They would circle the wagons and rationalize the act. It would be 24/7 spin and message control by the Fascist media infrastructure/Congress/the corrupt 6 of SCOTUS.

Putin is a former Commie KGB agent who has a 50yr record of murder, torture, assassinations, etc. Putin, who’s fluent in German, was in charge of terrorism in Germany during the Cold War. Now he routinely assassinated political rivals, dissidents journalists.

How will an online petition affect trump? He’s signing EOs that are attempting to repeal Constitutional Amendments. His cult (60m) is all-in. Feckless Dem leadership is doing nothing. Furthermore, trump could be caught w a teen girl and it wouldn’t move the needle w his cult.

trump's thugs....at least these thugs aren't concealing their identities. When the trials start, will they say they "were just following orders"?

You “forgot” trump, who had a 15yr bromance w Epstein & attended numerous parties w teen girls available for rape. trump’s on the list. trump said, “I like ‘em on the young side”. The same trump that bragged about crashing teen pageant dressing rooms w girls in underwear or nude.
Dick Erickson (@wcoasto.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe, but his cult does have a history of blind obedience and submission. Ultimately, you’re probably correct.

Our prisons are designed for punishment, not rehabilitation. The trend toward privatization is reducing the rehab mission of prisons. Private prisons exist for profit, stock buybacks, and Wall Street, not rehab or humane conditions.

Exactly. First, neither alligators nor pythons are a real threat. Pythons are slow, especially ones large enough to consume a human. Alligators can’t make quick turns, so it’s easy to evade them by running a zig-zag pattern. Mosquito/insect-borne diseases & heat/humidity could be greater threats.

The most consequential election was in 2000. Gore wasn’t pure enough for the Nader voters & SCOTUS gave Bush the presidency. We got Roberts, Alito, Katrina, 9/11, two needless wars, and the Great Recession. Roberts and Alito have paved the way to Fascism.

Why aren’t the parents arrested for killing their child? In Texas, the mother would be arrested for voluntarily ending her pregnancy….but through gross negligence she and her husband caused the death the child. Make it make sense.

trump and his minions are shameless pathological liars. Their lies are outrageous transparent and are a loyalty test for his cult of sycophants. They blindly believe every lie and repeat them ad nauseam. Nothing will change their minds . Meanwhile, the daily stream of lies spews forth from trump.

The national Democratic leadership has had the wrong strategy for years....ceding red states to the GOP. Howard Dean had the right idea w his 50 state strategy, which was abandoned before it really got going. Biden and Dems needed to be doing what AOC/Bernie are doing.

He can, with gross negligence, cause the death of his child and the state of Texas shrugs; but have an abortion in Texas and the state will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.

trump and his henchmen have shown that people can be abducted and, within hrs, be flown to a foreign prison without due process. Once in the prison, they are out of the jurisdiction of the US and that’s it, nothing “can” be done for them.

The main reason companies took their production to foreign countries was the cheap labor and no regulations (work hours, safety, environment). Bringing production back won't be cheap. Unlike labor in other countries, Americans won't be working for $10/day.

During Biden's term, Democrats ignored the "low hanging fruit" of touting the infrastructure projects planned and/or under construction. Dem officials should have had weekly PR events at those locations...many in red states. Restart Dean's 50 state project, get people active in red states.
Dick Erickson (@wcoasto.bsky.social) reply parent
Democrats ignored low hanging fruit of Biden's infrastructure projects. They should have had daily photo ops (w federal, state, local politicians and citizens) at infrastructure projects under construction/planning. Many are in poor areas of red states, yet the locals didn't make the connection.

Exactly. trump has absolute control over the American Fascist Party. No elected politician in his party dares express any dissent or opposition to ANYTHING he says or does. His cult of angry armed citizens are a de facto army; ready to threaten/intimidate judges, media, Dems w/out direct orders.
Dick Erickson (@wcoasto.bsky.social) reply parent

Roberts & gang gave POTUS complete immunity/power. In the Constitution, there’s not one word that suggests giving POTUS absolute immunity is a thing. The “strict originalists” just made it up. Nobody is safe in a dictatorship, even those who paved the way.

So the guy who wants to gut Biden's E-vehicle initiatives and incentives is buying an E-vehicle. Does trump even know how to drive?

There’s no way he gets impeached and convicted. The GOP will NEVER vote to impeach or convict. It takes 66 (67?) votes senate and 2/3 in the house. Will never happen. trump could be caught w a teenager and it wouldn’t move the needle enough to impeach and convict him.

Exactly. Privatization doesn’t save money. It creates another lobbying problem. Private prisons don’t save money, they lobby for more incarceration by proposing more and longer prison sentences. They provide inadequate supervision, inferior food, totally inadequate medical facilities, etc.

Do some research about the H5N1 virus (bird flu). The disease forces the destruction of entire flocks of poultry and disinfecting facilities. It takes 6-9 months to reestablish flocks. In the last 3 mo, the industry lost 20 million birds to the flu and it’s been >100 m over the last few years.

Their blind hatred of other Americans is in full view. Republicans live in LA as well. CA GDP is ~$4T; 14% of the US; CA has the 5th largest economy in the world. Financially crippling CA through partisan bullshit will harm the US economy. The GOP is led by epically stupid people.
