Here’s a picture of Kari Lane campaigning in front of a Confederate flag. She’s running for Senate in Arizona. You know, Arizona. That state that was part of the Confederacy. Arizona. That became a state in 1912.
I wish all the racists out there would just admit that the flag is a symbol of racism and hatred and not, as they always claim, a symbol of southern pride.
I grew up in the south in the 60s and none of my friends flew that flag. Even then, we knew what it meant.
Hunter Biden is on trial as I write this, accused of buying a gun illegally (while he had a drug problem).
Trump fans who screamed about how Trump’s guilty finding was only a political stunt and that the system is unfair are thrilled that Hunter is being prosecuted which shows the system is fair.
Hypocrisy was never a problem with them.
Most of the liberals I know agree that Hunter should be treated the same as anyone else under the law, like Trump was.
These conservatives, by the way, are the same people who think there should be no gun restrictions whatsoever but are thrilled that Hunter is being prosecuted for a gun control law. (You know perfectly well if one of their own had these charges, they’d be screaming about an injustice.)
Donald Trump — the only US President to be impeached twice and the only one to face criminal charges — can be impeached in his trial.
Oh, it’s not the same thing.
You see, during a trial, a witness’ credibility can be “impeached” by evidence that the person is dishonest.
For instance, if a defendant takes the stand and says “I didn’t do it!” a prosecutor can say “Isn’t it true that you have a record for theft, false reports, fraud, and slander?” These are crimes of dishonesty (the latin term used in courts is crimen falsi) and it is perfectly fine to bring that up so during your closing argument you can say “We already know the defendant is dishonest based on this record, so don’t believe him when he says he didn’t do it.”
Well, Trump clearly has a record of dishonesty. There’s that fraud case where he and his family stole money from a children’s charity. There’s that February verdict where he fraudulently stated the value of his assets for economic benefit. And there are the two defamation cases…
They can also use his own words against him to show that he has changed his story and is inconsistent in his defense.
So yeah, I’m anxious to see Trump impeached. Again.
(And if he manages to get elected and the Democrats take the House, he’s certain to be impeached again and again and again.)
God: “Hmmm, how can I tell people to repent? Let’s see. I can appear on everyone’s devices at the same time, speaking their individual languages! Nah. Maybe I could just appear in their minds and tell them. Uh-uh. I guess I could send Jesus back, have him do a few miracles again, and then tell everyone…
No! Wait! I know! I’ll send a small earthquake — you know, the kind that happen all over the world every year — and an eclipse that can easily be predicted, even by the ancient Mayans! That’ll do it for sure!
(I still don’t get why they didn’t all repent when I sent an image of Jesus on Mrs. O’Malley’s toast!)”
The people around Trump know he is a terrible guy, but they don’t care if it gets them money and/or power. So they remain silent until those things are no longer available, and then they finally say what they had been thinking all along.
No, this isn’t a hit piece. These are actual quotes from Republicans who worked with Trump. (I did not create this meme, but I can confirm that these are real quotes that I have seen elsewhere from reliable sources.)
