We will never survive if we keep electing these crazy people. Please folks, read what they stand for and carefully consider how they will affect your life. This isn’t a popularity contest. They are going to be voting on decisions and laws that are far reaching.
Due to party loyalty, redistricting, gerrymandering, and other disproportional representation the least competent populists are able to continue the right-wing extremist mission of destroying a functional republic.
“So what we have is really a seditious president of the United States trying to foment insurrection to keep his successor from taking office, staging a coup — the president of the United States,” he explained. “And what the Jan. 6th committee is doing, I think from Bob’s reporting, my reporting, is establishing a timeline that will show definitively how Donald Trump, his lawyers, and those closest to him attempted to stage this coup so there would be no real election of the president of the United States and Trump would continue to be in office.”
Woodward offered his analysis.
“It is a crime to subvert the lawful function of government,” he noted. “It is not ambiguous. It goes back 100 years, Chief Justice Taft of all people, saying that this is exactly the sort of trickery and deceit that is a crime,” he said. “And, you know, the section is 371 of the criminal code. We have, in hand, all the evidence and the Justice Department realizes this, as does the Jan. 6th committee, to show that this was an organized conspiracy to subvert democracy. Can’t say it anymore directly.”
Beinstein said Trump is worse than Nixon.
“We are in a situation that we have never been in as residents in the United States, even under Richard Nixon,” Bernstein said. “Richard Nixon got on a helicopter and agreed, because he knew he had to resign, got on the helicopter and left town. Donald Trump did something no president has ever done, he said ’I’m going to stay here behind this desk, I am not going to admit that I lost the election, I am going to stay here and remain the president of the United States past the point where Joe Biden, the elected president of the United States, was supposed to take office.”
“This is a conspiracy led by a president of the United States such as we have never seen. That is why it is a seditious act,” he explained. “That is why Trump is a seditious president in addition to what Bob is saying, being a criminal president.”
In an interview with the Guardian, filmmaker John Waters — creator of cult classics “Pink Flamingoes” and “Female Trouble” — lamented the rise of Donald Trump by claiming he ruined “bad taste,” a hallmark of Waters’s storied filmmaking career.
Reflecting on his career during which he has been called “the Pope of Trash, the Sultan of Sleaze, the Duke of Dirt, the Baron of Bad Taste, the King of Puke and Queer Confucius,” Waters was asked about his influence on “camp” in the arts and why it has faded away as a cultural touchstone.
As the Guardian’s Catherine Bray wrote, Waters’ demeanor took a serious turn when he brought up the former president.
According to Bray, “at a moment when fashion’s elite seem to be bringing back some of the ugliest looks ever to grace a millennium-era runway,” she pressed Waters about the zeitgeist when it comes to campiness and bad taste.
“Trump ruined it, " Waters replied. “As soon as Trump was president, it just ended the humor of it. He was the nail in the coffin. He’s the first person that had accidental bad taste that wasn’t funny."
“Usually, accidental bad taste is what camp originally meant. But today people try too hard. And I think that never works. Because true camp is innocent, it doesn’t do things on purpose. It takes itself very seriously,” he added.
Instead of voting in reliable and decent people, it’s getting worse by the day. This goes to show you that dumbing down of America is paying off for the tarnished Sir Lies A Lot!
for a man that only surrounds himself with the Best People, he sure finds a lot of losers in his life https://news.yahoo.com/trump-calls-paul-ryan-pathetic-092108476.html
