i do like that jimmy got the last laugh in some ways. reagan is in hell and his brain rotted to poo poo before he died, he used to be the chud god emperor but his body got ripped out of the golden throne and replaced with an even more hosed up idiot. meanwhile jimmy is like helping cure poo poo in other countries and building houses and doing big sunday school stuff and is happily married still to his wife.

Carter had his flaws, but he was a fundamentally honest man who told Americans the truths they didn't want to hear.

Reagan was a bullshit artist who lied through his loving teeth to the American people, but he made them feel so good while he was doing it that he ended up winning the day (unfortunately for our generation).

For once, the good didn't die young and we still have Carter.

Carter also still gets presidential briefings and gets to consult with the President on occasion. Trump doesn’t get briefings and Biden is probably never going to call him in to consult on anything.

It would be pretty hilarious to call Trump up to solicit advice on Ukraine, wait for him to start a long-winded spiel about "many people are saying that Putin is a tremendous guy" only to interrupt with "We don't give a poo poo what a loser like you thinks!" and hanging up.

That's the point of their post. Conservatives will deny reality to meet their prejudices. Right up to the point until they get killed by it.

I seem to recall reading a poll back in like 2014 that something like 20% of Republicans blame Obama for the terrible handling of Hurricane Katrina. There is a significant portion of the Republican electorate for whom a Republican can literally never be at fault for anything, and those who can admit it still vote for them regardless.

He has to be the best or in his own mind he is worthless scum, and the best way for him to do that is to simply Karen out at the universe and assert that he's the best at all times to everyone within earshot.

Does he even have sufficient self awareness of his situation to be miserable about it? He’s surrounded himself with so many bootlickers and yes men he probably gets told hourly that NYC are simply intimidated by his wealth, his family think he’s a majestic father figure and that he won the election. His Twitter ban is probably the only thing he’s genuinely mad about because it’s the one thing his yes men can’t actually lie to him about.

Let me tell you a tale, the epic saga of a Florida Woman.

Cindy Falco-DiCorrado is a white woman from Florida, United States born in 1973. She has lived in Palm Beach County all her life. Palm Beach County is not one of the shittier counties - it's 28% republican, 40% democrat. It is still Florida, however.
She's a registered Republican. I'd give you two guesses where this is going, and you'd be right.

Our story begins in 2017, when she was a volunteer board member for community development, when the issue of Sanctuary cities came up. As CBS 12 puts it, she "resigned a week after making what some called racial remarks."

quote:

resigned a week after making what some called racial remarks.
...
DiCorrado did not want to talk on camera but told CBS12she’s is going to be teaching floral design in another city.

What did she say? okayplayer is a bit more frank in their description

quote:

The incident took place back on December 5 during a commission meeting where the city’s leaders discussed the issue of becoming a sanctuary city. According to a report from the Palm Beach Post, volunteer board member Cindy Falco-DiCorrado told one resident, Mathi Mulligan, that he should speak “better English,” as well as told a group of black residents “You’re lucky we brought you over as slaves, or else you’d be deported, too.”

Falco-DiCorrado said that her comments were misunderstood and she did not mean any harm. Although she initially declined a request for resignation from the city’s vice mayor, Justin Katz, Falco-DiCorrado ultimately resigned after she informed a city clerk that she received a new career opportunity.

“I also heard that the City of Boynton Beach is being attacked through my stance on sanctuary cities and things that I said that were taken out of context and it just keeps getting worse as those who have hate in their hearts only can hear and see hate,” she wrote. “I ask if anyone was hurt by things that I said that could of been misconstrued, taken out of context or due to misunderstandings to please forgive me. For the record I am NOT a racist nor a white supremacist (which I had to look up what it meant) I forgive them too.”

“I see that a lynch mob was put out on me which keeps Boynton Beach in a negative light. I do love the City of Boynton Beach and I don’t want to see lies and vileness spewed for an agenda of a certain group,” she added.

Why am I bringing up a story of a racist in 2017? For several reasons, but the first and most obvious is that of course she attempted to leverage that into a run for mayor. And she's a Trump Supporter. And she's an anti-masker. And a hilarious Karen. Who was arrested twice. The first time outside of a flea market in 2020.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifGguVNRnpo

There were a lot of people in that first video, I'd forgive you for not immediately recognizing which one is her. Perhaps these pictures would help:

She was arrested for this, of course. (entertaining but not recommended on account of laughs to length ratio)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=folXDhIwlTk

I want to remind you, she was arrested at Einstein's Bagels. I'm not impressed. On the other hand, she decided to post $2000 bail, plead not guilty to misdemeanor trespass and nonviolent resisting arrest. As a very stable genius, she served as her own lawyer at trial. She was found guilty after a mere hour of deliberation

quote:

DiCorrado unsuccessfully served as her own defense attorney, refusing a plea deal that would have required that she completes 50 hours community service. She reportedly attempted to have charges against her dropped on the grounds Florida is a “fictional entity” that lacks “territorial jurisdiction.” DiCorrado is not a lawyer.

This isn’t even unusual with all the rebel groups out there but Russian domestic media and all their bots were all over this story very fast. Casus belli being established.

The Russian backed rebels claimed Ukraine’s military fired first and Ukraine claims it was the rebels. Russian bots and influencers are pushing a narrative that the US told the “Kiev junta” to do this. They are also being intentionally sloppy and implying that Russian troops have been hit.

A few hours ago Russian agencies claimed they discovered a mass grave of people killed by Ukraine’s military.

Could be nothing or could be something.
