How Obama Dragged Democrats Down

Australia's The Juice Media on the state of democracy around the world. I've highlighted just the U. S. part, but it's interesting that they include Trump with the other ratfuckers who are actively working to undermine democracy in their own countries and around the world. Their full "ad" below. The Government™ has made an ad about the state of Democracy™, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Eric Trump warned that his father was becoming a "martyr" because he was convicted in a recent hush money trial. During a Sunday interview on Fox News, Trump complained about his father's sentencing, which is scheduled just days before the Republican National Convention. "I go into a courthouse, and I see absolute corruption from a judge, a judge whose daughter is apparently making millions and millions of dollars fundraising off of my father effectively going to jail, I mean, turning down every witness we have, a one-sided court," Trump recalled. "You just mentioned a second ago that the judge scheduled sentencing for four days before the RNC Convention in Milwaukee, the Republicans' biggest day of the entire campaign cycle, their big event, their big show," he continued.

A former Trump attorney told MSNBC it is silly and ridiculous to think President Biden or anyone from the Justice Department had anything to do with Trump's prosecution and conviction in Manhattan's Hush Money trial. Joe Tacopina, Trump's attorney until he left the defense team, remarked that Sen. Tim Scott, Trump and anyone in the MAGAt orbit were lying and/or idiots to say otherwise. Tacopina: This is a state case. Sharpton: This is different than the Jack Smith cases, okay? Tacopina: This is not a federal prosecution.

This serial liar wants us to believe we never heard that thing that literally came out of his mouth thousands of times, day in and day out at his cult rallies when he was running against Hillary Clinton. Here's Trump during a portion of his interview on Fox & Friends this Sunday, insulting everyone's intelligence by pretending he wasn't the ring leader of the "lock her up" chants at those rallies. CAIN: You famously said regarding Hillary Clinton, “lock her up.” You declined to do that as president. TRUMP: I beat her.

It used to be that The Heritage Institute was one of those semi-respectable right-wing think tanks, like the American Enterprise Institute, the Hudson Institute, the CATO Institute, the Claremont Institute, etc. that generally espoused conservative ideology without going off into crazyland, like the John Birch Society. Well, those days are dead and gone, and they've now thrown their lot in with the rest of the MAGA anti-American extremists. Source: Raw Story A conservative think tank with a controversial plan for if Donald Trump wins the presidential election was under fire on Friday after flying their headquarters' flag upside down and then advertising it. Heritage Foundation, known in part for its "Project 2025" plan to remake the government in MAGA's image, posted a photo of its upside-down flag on social media after Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in a hush money cover-up case in New York.

Intersectionality was never going to work, but it’s still fun to see it disintegrating at such delightful, ludicrous speed.
