Donald Trump selling assets like Mar-a-Lago to a shell company owned by his oldest son is exactly what innocent people do

Trump isn’t a flight risk

He’s a flight guarantee.

Best way to shut up a conservative is to quote Jesus without outright saying it was Jesus... let them have their rant... then tell them it was Jesus. 99% of the time, you'll never hear from them again. The other 1% will tell you Jesus actually meant the opposite of all that.

Pro tip: If you're actively rejecting the word of Christ, you don't get to call yourself a Christian. #uspol

“I could have been relaxing at Mar-a-Lago or in the south of France ― which I would prefer to being in this country, frankly.”

So Trump flat out said he’s a flight risk

In addition to threatening judges

In addition to threatening prosecutors

In addition to saying he’d violate the protective order

Jesus. Reality Winner had one classified document—she wasn’t allowed bail

Trump sells out secrets to the highest bidder then racks up indictments like they’re Pokémon and he’s free to roam

A reminder that the Detroit police department is still running hopelessly flawed facial recognition software against a database of mugshots built up over generations of racially biased policing.

Eight Months Pregnant and Arrested After False Facial Recognition Match

Porcha Woodruff thought the police who showed up at her door to arrest her for carjacking were joking. She is the first woman known to be wrongfully accused as a result of facial recognition technology.

Nothing will stop them as long as the media sees number of clicks as a measure of successfully doing their jobs.
every time one of these not-so-secretly-racist "rising star" conservatives is unmasked as *extra* racist I do a quick check and YEP they've been published by The New York Times
Not enough and it comes from taxpayers, not from the racist assholes that run Texas A&M. These fines don't do shit unless individual racists face consequences.

I would be even blunter than this: American conservatism stopped caring about ideas a long time ago. The old conservatism died when a Black man was elected President, and has become just a raving, racist, atavistic ideology of blind hate and irrationality ever since. That an amoral grifter like Trump would wear its corpse like the bug-man in MIB was an inevitability. It's now about raw power, not ideas.

They Are Still With Him

Conservative elites lack the courage and will to use their influence to oppose Trump, and that is why he remains a force in American politics.

I stopped using CW's. I can't be bothered to add extra words to every post. It just doesn't work for people who want to use the platform a lot. Although, I've only gotten pushback rarely.
