Mind’s gone. Empty My mind couldn't even rationalize this. WTF And these are the people MAGA call men? |

HaHa. Switched browsers and could see Bemuracs trying to console Basilico who seems on the verge of crisis that no one has been frog marched yet based on all the conspiracies he's been fed.
I'm eminently intrigued in what he will do next. 1.) Will he realize that he has been being lied to for years? And most of the stuff he's been spouting here has been bullshit? 2.) Or will he make up an even crazier conspiracy that somehow covers for two of the most partisan people who have ever been in FBI leadership not being able to convict anyone for all the conspiracy theories they have been throwing to their rabid base for years?
I may not immediately re-up his block when it expires so I can see first hand how this plays out. Lol. |

You're one of those people who gets impressed by people who talk a big game about the things they supposedly have done. You are wholly incapable of recognizing deficient and incompetent people.

No surprise that the Trump DOJ got their list of students to prosecute from a Pro Israel group. I'm sure the Israeli government and/or Mousad was involved in its creation. This should be an absolute scandal. A senior Immigration and Customs Enforcement official testified in federal court on Wednesday that his office had used opaque pro-Israel blacklisting websites to help target international student activists for investigation and possible deportation.
The admission by Peter Hatch, the assistant director of the Homeland Security Investigations department within ICE, appeared to be the first time that an administration official had acknowledged taking cues from the shadowy groups behind the sites, including Canary Mission, which has been accused of doxxing individuals engaged in pro-Palestinian activism. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/us/politics/ice-canary-mission-student-deportations.html

raumdeuter: Post Law school Hunter couldnt go into the corporate world to prove himself rather it was in companies that had ties to his dad all through his life. His brother Beau went to the same law school, went on to clerk for judges, joined the military and went to war to serve Post Yale Law School Hunter couldn't get into the corporate world. That sentence in itself proves how much you know on this topic. Nothing . Google Yale Law School employment opportunities. See where the graduates work and who recruits there. You are probably talking about the most desirable of desirable job applicants.. You sound jealous. |

raumdeuter: Except that Hegseth was not using his dads connection to get on board of Burisma and promising companies deals once they give him the "big guys" cut Yes, he was using his Georgetown BA and Yale Law Degree, his experience as executive vice President at MBNA, and his status as a board member for Amtrak appointed by George Bush to get on the board of Burisma. You might have not heard of Georgetown or Yale as they aren't as prestigious as those Harvard extension school classes you took remotely. You've drank gallons of that kool-aid. You can hate Hunter but he had experience enough (no matter how he got it) to be where he was. Let me tell you a secret. Connections/Nepotism sux but that's how the world works or did you think a Harvard Business Degree was only about what you learned there. A friend hit me earlier this year that his son was interested in Quants and remembered my boy who he met who did that at a big bank. I hit my friend up and told him to connect with my boy and his son, have him to the office and take him to lunch with other Partners at the bank. He did. What's the probability of him getting an internship there? High. |

raumdeuter: Biden knew his son Hunter despite the advantage he got earlier in life by being the son of a Senator unlike his brother Beau, turned out to be a bum, a drug user, impregnated his own brothers widow and who used his dad's position in govt to get contracts with foreign govt
That was why they were so eager to bury the Biden laptop story which turned out to be true with all the gory contents inside it which is his dad was giving him pre emptive pardons before leaving office
Biden used to ask, why do you need a pardon if you've not committed an offence
Hunter became a huge liability to his dad For a second there I thought you were referring to Hegseth who now happens to be the Defense Secretary and who you defended vehemently.. Failed Marriage, cheating on his wife, failed jobs and an alcoholic to boot. Consistency isn't your strong suit. |

Good read. I think Biden especially lost me when he allowed the GOP to go after his son without much pushback. Yeah, Hunter made some mistakes, but to paint a dude who was a Yale Law Grad, current Georgetown Professor, sat on the boards of a couple of big banks (appoint by George Bush) and Amtrak as some bum who got his jobs strictly through Nepotism was insane.
Until Dems fight back and figure out how to equalize or neutralize the perpetual rage machine on the right, no matter how good their policies are, the will continue to lose elections.

bayelsaowei: just take a look at Trumps cabinet..filled with padi padi and fools who were fox reporters..
How about conflict of interest (COI) as public servants? Trumps admin has messed up with the tenets of working in the corporate world. All the things I have learned working for corporate organisations around integrity has all been stepped upon by Trump and his people..
With Trump nothing is really bad..badness is relative.. its just about if he is OK with it or not.. never seen this before except with african despot leaders. Exactly. Those things mattered at a point prior to Trump and some of the very same people now supporting Trump fervently voiced them. And because they the US advocated them, we could effectively push those tenets to other countries. Now, the US may right it's ship depending on the next election, but the biggest losers in all this are countries where their Judiciaries and democratic systems are still not fully ripe. Trump has effectively said corruption doesn't matter and those places will continue to rule that way. |

Hey Raumdeuter and Ibime. Maybe you can explain to these priests in Israel, how Israel really does share our Western Values and they are completely safe there. A 5th century church and an ancient Christian cemetery were badly vandalised by Israeli 'settlers' in the last Christian town in the West Bank yesterday.
In a statement today, Tuesday, 8 July, the priests of the churches of Taybeh - Latins, Greek Catholics, and Greek Orthodox - made a clear appeal to the world, expressing deep concern about the increasing and documented attacks by illegal Israeli settlers on the town's land, holy sites, and properties - amidst official silence that exacerbates the sense of danger and lack of protection.
Speaking on behalf of themselves, the town's residents, and their congregation, the priests expressed strong condemnation of these attacks that threaten the town's security and stability, targeting the dignity of its residents and sacred lands.
The statement, issued by Father Dawood Khoury, Father Jacques-Noble Abed, and Father Bishara Fawaz, described what is happening in the town as "a serious series of systematic attacks" that not only threaten the town's security and stability but also aim to undermine the dignity of its Christian residents and tamper with their historical and religious heritage.
One of the most recent incidents occurred on Monday, July 7, 2025, when settlers deliberately set fires near the town's cemetery and the ancient Church of the Greens, which dates back to the 5th century AD and is one of the oldest churches in Palestine. https://www.indcatholicnews.com/news/52772

The Trump administration has been caught lying again. El Salvador says that the US has control of the people the US sends to its prison. The court document included the Salvadoran government’s response to a United Nations inquiry on behalf of four families, the lawyers said, who have claimed that a relative was forcibly disappeared when the Trump administration secretly sent them from U.S. immigration detention centers to the Terrorism Confinement Center, known as CECOT, in mid-March.
In the filing submitted to U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg, the Salvadoran government deferred responsibility for the relatives of the four families — and other migrants in their custody — to the Trump administration. “The jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these people lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities,” the Salvadoran authorities said, according to the document. https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/07/07/el-salvador-says-first-time-that-us-controls-fate-jailed-deportees/

Choose one. Either they cook the food or they give the childcare benefit. Funny conversation. Bemeruca is talking about the ills of government aid while, by his own words, his children who he doesn't have custody of are in Europe on government aid to some degree.

raumdeuter: North Carolina was abandoned to their fate, even aid workers were avoiding homes with Trump signs
While with a competent president the response to Texas flood has been swift and immediate unlike with Biden and Carolina flood You inhale propaganda with nary a thought to understand it before you regurgitate it. In your world the guy who wants to end FEMA and denied NC aid requests Biden approved, did more for NC than the guy who supports FEMA and approved those aid requests. Trump cut expert government severe weather alerts by firing meteorologists. Trump thought that "common sense" would alert them to these weather disasters. "I can feel in my gut that the weather's getting bad". But the truth is he doesn't really care about Americans exp. those who voted for him as they are on average poorer. Trump could deport your wife and you'd come here and tell us how your wife should have been deported while still flying his flag in front of your home. |

Now, MAGA is calling out their own fake American propaganda posters. But where was all this concern when these same people who didn't live in the US were previously pushing their MAGA propaganda? Reminds me of this thread. A lot of people who've never stepped foot in the US, posting propaganda. Seems to be a large contingent of MAGA conservatives.
But, let the MAGA infighting begin.
