Clown Car IV: The Dotard and Dunce Parade

Putting aside the difference between attraction to minors and attraction to adult women... they've been trying to impeach the guy since 2017. If they had a credible accusation of child rape, it would have popped up long before now (if for no other reason than to get the investigation going sooner). There's no need to wait for Epstein to become re-exposed.

"Sure GOP, defend the child-rapist-in-chief."

It's very possible some Hastert era Republicans will go down in flames though.

It has popped up long before now.

"You know who got me elected? I got me elected. Russia didn't help me at all."

Maryanne Williamson's plan to stop Trump by projecting love beams is still better than Nancy Pelosi's plan to stop him by voting to fund his agenda

Her name is Marianne.

Anyway, she has a 500-billion reparations plan, intends to return land to Native Americans, make college free for poor people (worse than free college for all, but it's a start), and address climate crisis head on. People make fun of her, but her policies are actually good and more progressive than pretty much everybody else's. I mean, who else even mentioned reparations?

 

[adcarrymaokai]

She also shares anime memes created by her fans on Instagram. I mean, come on bruh. She is the good vibes America so desperately needs in these trying times.

We probably wouldn't be talking as prominently about reparations if it hadn't been used in a misguided effort to undermine Bernie's campaign. I'd have to look at her proposal but most of them are chock full of exploits or dont cover communities they need to. I'm not sure reparations is a str for any candidate.

President Clinton has issued an official denial of any claims of improper behavior associated with Epstein.

 

[Berzerker]

quite a dilemma, Trump and Clinton were buddies with Epstein so how does the media go about attacking one and not the other?

 

[Cloud_Strife]

I have no problems with Clinton going down alongside trump.

The same way the media does whatever it wants to. You're not really going to claim that the media is frequently biased as a revelation, are you?

Mentioning reparations is just noise. Reparations is just a meme. Who has an actual reparations policy?
Here is what Maryanne's website has to say:

For that reason, I propose a $200 billion - $500 billion plan of reparations for slavery, the money to be disbursed over a period of twenty years. An esteemed council of African-American leaders would determine the educational and economic projects to which the money would be given.

This isn't very encouraging to me for a few different reasons.

I have no problems with Clinton going down alongside trump.

I believe that the phrase "but Bill Clinton" has been burned into their brainstems by decades of right-wing propaganda. No one gives a crap about Bill Clinton anymore except people who like Trump and want to defend him but for whatever reason feel unable to do so openly.

Trump says UK ambassador 'a very stupid guy'
The UK's "wacky" ambassador to the US is "a very stupid guy" Donald Trump has said, amid a row over leaked emails.

This came after Downing Street reaffirmed its "full support" for Sir Kim Darroch.

On Sunday emails revealed the ambassador had called the Trump administration "clumsy and inept".

Sir Kim will now no longer meet the president's daughter Ivanka Trump as scheduled on Tuesday, the BBC has been told.

A spokesman for Theresa May said that Sir Kim is "a dutiful, respected government official" and confirmed there are no plans for Mrs May and Mr Trump to hold a call to discuss relations following the leak.

Earlier on Tuesday Mr Trump tweeted: "The wacky Ambassador that the U.K. foisted upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy.

"He should speak to his country, and Prime Minister May, about their failed Brexit negotiation, and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was handled.

"I told @theresa_may how to do that deal, but she went her own foolish way-was unable to get it done. A disaster!

"I don't know the Ambassador but have been told he is a pompous fool. Tell him the USA now has the best Economy & Military anywhere in the World, by far...and they are both only getting bigger, better and stronger...Thank you, Mr. President!"

this is a fascinating episode. As reported in the Intercept it seems clear these cables were leaked by someone close to Nigel Farage with the intention of replacing Darroch with some pro-Trump, pro-Brexit hack - perhaps with Farage himself.

I would say that it sucks to have an eight year old be president but it might be taken as a compliment.

 

[AmazonQueen]

I love the idea that we sent a wacky ambassador to the US but sadly from all I can find out hes just another boring civil servant.

Why do you have to resort to this oblique method of attacking people who attack the Dear Leader? Can't bring yourself to defend the orange man directly?
