    Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore admitted the chances of President Donald Trump winning another term in office are promising.

    Reacting to Trump's 2020 campaign kickoff rally this week, Moore wrote on Twitter that Trump's base appears as strong as ever.

    "I watched the whole thing last night. I know no one wants to waste that kind of time even looking at him, but not wanting to see the enormity of the fight ahead doesn't make it go away. He hasn't lost one inch of his fired-up insane base. Are u ready?"
    he called you insane and you quoted it

    Trump accused of raping author E. Jean Carroll in department store dressing room

    She ran into the future president at the Manhattan department store in 1995 or 1996

    “The moment the dressing-room door is closed,” she said, “he lunges at me, pushes me against the wall, hitting my head quite badly, and puts his mouth against my lips.

    I am so shocked I shove him back and start laughing again.

    He seizes both my arms and pushes me up against the wall a second time, and, as I become aware of how large he is,

    he holds me against the wall with his shoulder and jams his hand under my coat dress and pulls down my tights.”

    Carroll recalled with astonishment that she kept laughing as the situation escalated.

    “The next moment, still wearing correct business attire, shirt, tie, suit jacket, overcoat, he opens the overcoat, unzips his pants, and, forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway — or completely, I’m not certain — inside me,” Carroll wrote.

    “It turns into a colossal struggle. I am wearing a pair of sturdy black patent-leather four-inch Barneys high heels, which puts my height around six-one, and I try to stomp his foot.

    I try to push him off with my one free hand — for some reason, I keep holding my purse with the other —

    and I finally get a knee up high enough to push him out and off and I turn, open the door, and run out of the dressing room.”


    Carroll is now at least the 16th woman to accuse the president of sexual misconduct.

    She told two friends about the attack at the time, and New York verified her claim with both friends, who are journalists,

    Hope Hicks’ refusal to talk made Don McGahn and other Trump aides’ legal woes worse — here’s how

    giving investigating Democrats the reason they were looking for to skip playing nice with ex-Trump officials and head straight to the courts with an ironclad case.

    the smoking gun that Democrats will use to get a judge to compel former Trump counsel Don McGahn to answer questions when called.

    “It very much played into our hands,” Nadler claimed on Thursday. “It’s one thing to tell a judge blanket immunity is not a

    right thing. WTF "right thing" arcane legal jargon

    It’s another thing when a judge can see what that means in actuality, and how absurd it is.”

    working with House counsel to draft a lawsuit that will drag McGahn into court in the belief that after a judge rules against McGahn on executive privilege, other aides to the president will have no legal standing to ignore subpoenas.

    Nadler also noted that Hicks could be called back and be forced to answer the 155 questions she ducked in a closed-door hearing.

    https://www.rawstory.com/2019/06/hope-hicks-refusal-to-talk-made-don-mcgahn-and-other-trump-aides-legal-woes-worse-heres-how/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=377

    I don't think the Dems have gonads to do what Nadler says they're going to do.

    Justice Thomas just handed down an opinion that would make it legal to kick black people off juries

    The Supreme Court just undid the work of a prosecutor whose astounding incompetence was matched only by his racism.

    This prosecutor somehow managed to try Curtis Flowers, an African American man from Mississippi, six times for the same murders — and he botched every single trial.

    two members of the court, Justice Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, dissented.

    most strikingly, however, was the nature of Thomas’s dissent, which went so far as to suggest that

    prosecutors should be free to remove jurors because of their race.

    As Kavanaugh explains in his opinion, “the Cons ution forbids striking even a single prospective juror for a discriminatory purpose.”

    Over the course of six trials, “the State employed its peremptory challenges to strike 41 of the 42 black prospective jurors that it could have struck.”

    It also grilled black potential jurors in an apparent effort to find reasons to strike them, while largely letting white jurors go by without much probing.

    even this slight helping of racial equity was too much for Thomas.

    Thomas spends the bulk of his opinion disagreeing with Kavanaugh’s factual conclusions — and these parts of his opinion are joined by Gorsuch.

    He then spends the final eight pages of his dissent arguing that

    racial jury discrimination should effectively be legalized.

    Not even Gorsuch was willing to endorse that view.


    As Thomas notes, there are some virtues to peremptory challenges.

    Among other things, they “eliminate extremes of partiality on both sides.”

    Yet, in the hands of a racist prosecutor, they become a weapon that can be directed entirely against jurors of a particular race.

    The seminal Supreme Court opinion prohibiting lawyers from using these challenges to engage in race discrimination Batson v. Kentucky.

    Thomas’ dissent goes to war with Batson — which, in Thomas’ words “requires that a duly convicted criminal go free because a juror was arguably deprived of his right to serve on the jury.”

    As a practical matter, that means that

    virtually no one would ever challenge racist juror exclusions,

    since the juror is unlikely to care enough about the outcome of a trial to sue because they were kicked off a jury.

    And, in any event,

    Thomas argues that excluded jurors should not be able to challenge other people’s convictions.

    So Thomas’ would neutralize Batson altogether.

    Thomas disagrees with the entire project of Batson.

    “The ‘entire line of cases following Batson,‘” he writes, is “a misguided effort to remedy a general societal wrong by using the Cons ution to regulate the traditionally discretionary exercise of peremptory challenges.”

    https://thinkprogress.org/clarence-thomas-flowers-mississippi-batson-juries-6fb2bde2a085/


    The oligarchy's SCOTUS s have had, and will continue to amplify, a POLITICAL strategy of destroying stare decisis.

    eg, C-U overturned 100 years of stare decisis that a corporation was not a person. Now BigCorp is ing person.

    America is ed and un able.

    Trump's Fourth of July Salute to Himself will feature 'military' parade and flyovers

    The festivities will lean heavily on military themes,

    with the Interior Department somewhat flimsily billing it as an event to "honor America's armed forces."

    This is in keeping with Trump's longstanding obsession with recreating France's Bastille Day parade.

    Trump's new Fourth of July event is indeed to feature a 10-block "military-themed" parade down Cons ution Avenue—likely news to D.C. city officials who will now have to scramble with the additional logistics.

    It will also feature flyovers by military planes, including one
    used as Air Force One.

    The location of the traditional fireworks display will be moved in order to accommodate Trump's additional events.

    District officials are already peeved at Trump's past interactions with the city, including

    his
    stiffing the city of $7.3 million for logistics surrounding his inauguration celebrations.

    that was your takeaway? ... the point is that its absurd to act like this guy has such a powerful influence when the average liberal barely even knows about him or has to look him up.

    The left stopped talking about Alinsky 40 years ago.

    The right never stopped talking about him, even tore a few pages from his notebook.

    you can call me whatever you'd like... i don't have a problem whatsoever with free speech but to dismiss alinsky and what he stood for is ridiculous. you call me right wing because i see how his tactics are used by the left & by the MSM. seeing his doctrine infiltrate that party and those around that party isn't anything right wing to begin with; it's simply an observation and one that's so intertwined you can't convince me otherwise.

    It’s absurd to think a politician who believed in and followed his teachings would announce it to their cons uents.

    FBI seemed to think he was a bit more than just a boogeyman for the right

    i think there's an underlying issue none of us want to really deal with. a shadow gov't run by marxists. i could be wrong but the more of the youth i meet, the more i read and see online, those i met in LA, etc are solidifying my theory.
