In New York we have this dude Daniel Penny who killed an annoying subway rider—and the entire right wing is backing him up. This comes a week after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott promised to pardon a convicted murderer because the guy had only killed a BLM protester, after all.
Daniel Penny is a hero who saved a subway car full of strangers from a lunatic.

The Durham Report is out, and it appears to be the usual Durham farrago of innuendo and speculation but without any real evidence of any wrongdoing. Nonetheless, Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama says people need to go to jail or we might as well cancel elections in this country. What?
It proved that Trump was innocent of all that pre-Presidential bullshit you and your Masters accused him of. People should be going to prison for it. Not jail. In fact, election meddling to this degree for a Presidential election should be treason.

Joe Biden has given up on his "no negotiations" position on the debt ceiling, which provoked a growing mountain of crackpot demands from Republicans.
Joe Biden* did no such thing. Joe Biden is incapable of making any decisions and half the time doesn't know who Joe Biden* is.

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton on Tuesday said that foreign leaders saw former President Donald Trump as a "laughing fool" and rejected his ex-boss's claims that he could have stopped Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine had he still been in office last year.
During an interview on CNN's "This Morning," Bolton — an experienced diplomat and defense hawk who served under Trump from April 2018 to September 2019 — pushed back against assertions that the former president made about Ukraine last week as he participated in the network's controversial town hall. While speaking with journalist Kaitlan Collins, Trump said that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine had he been in the Oval Office and also said that he could "settle" the conflict in 24 hours if voters send him back to office — both highly questionable claims for a war the US is not a direct participant in.
Bolton, while speaking with Collins and journalist Poppy Harlow, quickly rejected such talk.
"Trump has this impression that foreign leaders, especially adversaries, hold him in high regard — that he's got a good relationship with Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un," Bolton said of the leaders of China, Russia, and North Korea, respectively.
"In fact, the exact opposite is true," he continued. "I have been in those rooms with him when he met with those leaders. I believe they think he's a laughing fool and the idea that somehow his presence in office would have deterred Putin is flatly wrong."
Bolton then said that if Trump had won reelection in 2020, the former president's push to weaken NATO would have aided Russia in their quest to take over Ukraine.
"If anything, if Trump had won a second term and done what I think he intended to do which is get out of NATO, Putin would have just waited and let him do it," he said. "Even the weakening of NATO would have it made a lot easier for the Russians to have prevailed."
Bolton, who served as US ambassador to the United Nations under former President George W. Bush, has been a huge critic of Trump since leaving the administration. The diplomat, while on CBS News just last month, said that it was a "big mistake, politically" for the GOP to continue aligning itself with Trump headed into 2024.

You must be new here. Both Second and Ted fall head over heels in love with any Neo-Con trash that say anything bad about Trump.

Quote:Bolton was in the room with Trump and Kim. Trump and Putin, too. Bolton sized up who knows what they are doing and it is NOT Trump. Kim is a third-generation dictator who got to his position by being able to read people and know who to kill. Trump got his position by being a con man with diarrhea of the mouth. Trump's loud and stupid mouth (I will end the war in 24 hours) cannot win against Kim. Or Putin. Just in case you misunderstand Trump, no matter how much the US spends on the military, no dictator is scared that Trump will actually use the US military sensibly.

Why Trump Wants U.S. to Default on Debt
Trump urged Republicans to allow a default “unless they get everything they want. Do not fold!!!”
Lest you have any doubt, the three exclamation points are Trump’s. You could be excused for thinking he wants a default. He loves chaos.
But he also has a purely self-serving reason to seek an economic catastrophe. You don’t need to be a stable genius to know that a bad economy typically hurts the incumbent in a presidential race. And Trump is desperate to get the immunity from prosecution that being elected president would provide him. He’s terrified of what’s coming from Special Counsel Jack Smith. So he’ll apparently nuke the world economy to protect himself.
His MAGA minions in the House of Representatives also understand that voters’ first instinct for an economic crisis is to blame the incumbent president. But just in case that point was missed by the few GOP representatives who still worry a bit about what’s best for the country, Trump’s Truth Social post on Friday was sending them a message. He might as well have written, I’ll come after you if you vote to raise the debt ceiling.
The dynamics of the House Republican Conference — with a small number of the most Trumpy members able to disrupt or end McCarthy’s speakership — make it difficult for McCarthy to give an inch in negotiations, especially now with Trump himself piping in. Which means that the risk that no agreement will be reached is very real. The American people would be nothing but collateral damage to Trump.

Quote:Trump attempted to buy the 2020 election by increasing the national debt by about $7.5 trillion. Now Trump is attempting to buy the 2024 election with the help of the Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy.

Trump had the third-biggest primary deficit growth, 5.2% of GDP, behind only George W. Bush (11.7%) and Abraham Lincoln (9.4%). Bush, of course, not only passed a big tax cut, as Trump has, but also launched two wars, which greatly inflated the defense budget. Lincoln had to pay for the Civil War. By contrast, Trump’s wars have been almost entirely of the political variety.
