Gr00vus 9,939 Posted October 22 (edited) 48 minutes ago, msommer said: Kind hearted, moral people, obviously I know you meant this mostly in jest. I also know people here often attach the disclaimer "The Trump supporters I know are mostly intelligent, kind, caring, nice people" to statements concerning Trump supporters. I think it's past time we start challenging those assessments, at least as they pertain to the people in question's critical thinking, moral quality, intelligence, etc. in relation to socio-political concerns. Because I just can't square those two circumstances anymore - honestly, I never really could, but time and events have just made that kind of assertion less plausible to me. I know this will upset some, but we need to take a hard look at how people are behaving in this country right now.

Bucky86 15,622 Posted October 22 Trump donor to plead guilty to hiding work as foreign agent By ERIC TUCKER15 minutes ago WASHINGTON (AP) — A prolific political fundraiser who donated large sums to President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee is expected to plead guilty to federal criminal charges. The Justice Department says Imaad Zuberi will admit in federal court in Los Angeles that he falsified records to conceal his work as a foreign agent while lobbying high-level U.S. government officials. He’s also charged with tax evasion and making nearly $1 million in illegal campaign contributions. Zuberi did not immediately return messages from The Associated Press seeking comment.

Sinn Fein 29,542 Posted October 22 1 hour ago, bicycle_seat_sniffer said: so saying lynching ia cool now? Trump says and does a lot of really dumb stuff - so I am sort of ok piling on whenever he opens his mouth. But, I do think this one is being blown a little out of proportion. I think calling something a "lynching" is akin to saying someone is being railroaded. I get the historic connotation with lynching - but its also a term that has been used quite a bit to describe how Trump feels about this process. It just feels like this is more about kicking Trump when he is down, than any substantive outrage. I mean, in the history of the world, I imagine more "witches" have been burned/drowned/executed than African-American lynches - yet nobody was outraged when this was all a witch-hunt - which obviously disrespects all the (mostly) women who have been falsely accused of being a witch, and then executed.
