2016 Assange was a very different person than who he was in 2009. The espionage charges relating to the Chelsea Manning leaks were always bogus, but his involvement with the Trump campaign solidified him as a huge asshole in my mind.
Even back then, WikiLeaks was telling trump to claim the election was rigged and stolen. These are not the actions of a whistleblower, and it’s clear he was not a whistleblower (or working with whistleblowers) during this period and likely a mouthpiece for Russia to sow division in the US.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
This is great and all, but what I really need is an alternative picture of shel silverstein to put on the back of the book.
It’s a double edge sword, but I think people are just sour that there is no choice for this election. If there were primaries in 2024 and Biden didn’t win, then that would be unprecedented and a recipe for losing against Trump. One could argue that in 2020, the primary process forced Biden to adopt a more liberal stance with regard for Student Debt loan forgiveness, which he would not have done otherwise.
Just like how in 2020, NYC painted a Black Lives Matter mural on the street directly outside Trump Tower
It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
If Trump wins (and the senate is R), Thomas and Alito are for sure resigning and will be replaced with younger shitter people who will make major decisions for the next ~30 years.
Our system sucks but it is what it is. Voting for Biden doesn’t mean you endorse everything he’s done, it means you realize the alternative option is worse and for sure don’t want that.
“I don’t want anybody going on me. We need every voter. I don’t care about you. I just want your vote,”
This was one of the three Trump quotes they have in the article. He added he was just joking but pretty sure he was serious.
Those luxury RVs don’t pay for themselves. You expect Clarence Thomas to take away our basic human rights and subvert democracy in a regular RV?
I misread the title as 2,019 trips were paid by Harlan Crow, and honestly wasn’t surprised that the amount of corruption was that high.
Imagine if they become cell mates in prison. I smell a sitcom.
Not saying it’s not an internet meme, but NBC News seems to have ran the quote yesterday, and hasn’t updated the article with a correction:
he Biden campaign slammed the former president in a statement about the expected gun license revocation.
“When Trump tells the NRA he won’t do a damn thing to prevent convicted felons, domestic abusers, and other dangerous people from getting their hands on guns, he’s talking about himself,” said campaign spokesperson James Singer in a statement.
I checked James Singer’s twitter and couldn’t find a written statement, nor a rebuttal to NBC News article, so maybe this was a spoken quote off the cuff?
There will never be anything funnier than Four Seasons Total Landscaping. If I was a comedy TV writer, I would have quit that day because there’d never be a way I could top the hilarious absurdity of that press conference.
I agree with you, but to the average citizen, they are unaware of the direct consequences of those who they are voting for, especially when it relates to taxes. To some, this could be seen as a direct result of the “woke agenda” and would be anti-woke tax. They might double down and reelect their candidate who got them into this mess to “fix” the system and stop the tax increases, since that’s easier than actually creating meaningful changes in society.
They can’t charge a husband and wife for the same crime.
Technically they’re correct
Clear whataboutism. Trump is a convicted felon and it’s pertinent for biden to speak about how unprecedented Trump’s conviction is while on the campaign trail for 2024. Whether you meant it or not, comparing a quote from Biden about the ICC decision to the years of Trump’s statements attacking and delegitimizing the elections/judicial system in the US is disingenuous. There is a real possibility that the RNC will nominate Trump for president while he is in jail, which is insane.
Don’t forget about that picture of Trump playing tennis. Actually, wait, don’t picture that.
Ha ha!
I hope for future generations, they have to learn about the Simpsons in English class like we had to learn about Shakespeare.
How long until Trump claims that he was wrongfully convicted of 34 felonies because of his political speech and not because of falsifying business records to cover up an affair with a pornstar?
