Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

I notice that the title is an utter lie.

Judge Aileen Cannon has postponed Trump’s stolen documents trial indefinitely.

@Dustcan
What a non-shocker.

@Dustcan
So much for our “justice” system.

@Dustcan
Almost like she had a conflict of interests and shouldn’t been involved in the case to begin with.

@Meanlucario
If that were the case, she would’ve recused herself and not put the case on hold.

@ᎶㄖҜㄩ 乃ㄥ卂匚Ҝ
I mean, she was bending over backwards for Trump the entire time, so why would she risk someone who isn’t as kind to him to take the case back up?

@Dustcan
This made me go over the Classified Documents Trial indictment and there’s a hilarious bit in there that completely smokes any of this man’s defenses

It’s an audio transcript where Trump is talking about a classified military document to literally some random ass book writer and he points out that the document he is showing wasn’t declassified by him, he knew he didn’t declassify it, that he can’t declassify it now and one of the writer’s staff even audibly responds to hearing that information, “Now we have a problem”

If this was literally anyone else they would’ve gotten the electric chair by now, but the rich play by different rules

Lynch mob attempted to storm Athens hotel where Israeli tourists were staying
It’s starting to get dangerous for Jewish now. And I think we’re going to see it get worse.

Today on “news articles I didn’t expect to see” we have.

“RFK Jr says a worm ate part of his brain and then died inside his head.”

Apparently the guy is so stupid that even Mind Flayers don’t want to be him and his tadpole died of starvation.

Trump was confronted with the fact that crime rates has been on a downward trend throughout Biden’s presidency. It made him mad.

@Dustcan
Of course it did.

I remember there being a Republican convention where they literally just chanted “Crime! Crime! Crime!” as if they were doing some summoning ritual.

I don’t think it was the same one where they had a banner saying “We are all domestic terrorists” but the point is Republicans loving crime is probably why it keeps going up during their presidencies.

Is it safe to say that Fetterman has shot himself in the foot with the amount of bad will he’s been getting lately?

First him bragging g about being Jewish/Pro-Israel in front Palestine protesters (admittedly, this was way back when the HAMAS concert massacre happened, but still), and now him siding with DeSantis on a bill banning the production of lab grown meat.

I swear you look at the reception he had last year compared to now, it’s crazy

He reminds me of Kristen Sinema, this is the kind of politician Democrats are going to need to work on weeding out in the future.

There’s nothing preventing a candidate from openly being a Trojan horse with a manufactured platform that promptly flips parties once elected other than “But they won’t get elected next time!”, as if that mattered to them.

I don’t hold him being pro-Israel as a negative per se, as it kinda depends on the news they get. Lefty protestors have a messaging problem at the best of times even without a complete media slander campaign.

I do think he’s been further evidence for the ‘Stroke-to-conservative pipeline’ theory as of late.

Edit: speaking of Leftists and bad optics, a bunch of peo-Palestine protestors gathered in front of Auschwitz on Remembrance Day.

I highly doubt Fetterman will be a Simema or Manchin.

I do think he hews toward blue-dog status, but that was kinda obvious from the onset.

I damn well preferred him to fucking Dr. Oz.

@Zincy
“blue-dog”?

@Background Pony #1F81
The Alternate to Fetterman. Dr. Oz. Yeah I’d rather have Fetterman than Dr. Oz.

Blue Dog Democrats are moderate-to-conservative Democrats who are willing to break from the party line on certain things, particularly stuff like abortion, gun control, LGBTQ rights, etc. They’ve gotten much rarer in the past 15 years, but some still get elected sometimes.

They’re named for the Blue Dog Coalition that was formed by conservative Democrats in the House in 1995 in response to the GOP landslide in the 1994 midterms. Tellingly, within two election cycles many of the founding members had switched to the Republican Party, particularly those holding seats in the Deep South. The last founding member in office was Collin Peterson of Minnesota, who was ousted in 2020.

Nothing says healthy political environment like a candidate defictionalizing the Futurama brain slug joke.

Qaren went through with her threat to force a vote to oust Speaker Johnson.

She probably wishes she didn’t, as not only was she booed immediately the vote failed 359-43.

@Dustcan
Funniest shit I’ve ever seen.

And he didn’t get mad that he was proven wrong. No, he just straight up claimed it’s a lie. When told that this data comes from state and local police departments that usually support him, he just claimed that “FBI (…) and other people fudged numbers”.

Police in Florida busted down the door of the wrong apartment responding to a “disturbance” call before shooting it’s occupant dead.

A witness who was on a zoom call with said occupant said that the police knocked but never identified themselves, knocked a second time but stood out of the way of the peephole so that when the occupant looked out his door he couldn’t see them.

The occupant then went and got his gun out of an abundance of caution, as he came back police kicked down his door and shot him within seconds.

Said occupant was a 23 year old black US Airforce airman.

Not only did police shoot and kill another young black man, but a dang member of the US armed forces.
