zoux posted:I can't find the tweet but one of the major outlets, either NYT or WaPo, paid a bunch of Miami high schoolers to sit in the court room and relay info about what was going on to the outside world. This post really got me thinking about how untrusting MAGA-type people are. Literally anything negative about Trump, as small as him not paying a bill as a restaurant, just slides right off of their brains. Even something like this is part of the Deep State Conspiracy Machine to make him look bad. There's nothing you can do to convince them that Donald Trump walked out on a bill, even by accident.

Hell we have Trump on tape calling them all disgusting fat idiot pigs. They don’t care; they hate themselves and everyone on their side too.

Sorry it was just one supporter he initially thought was a protestor he called a fat pig in front of the crowd at a rally, then realized he was a supporter and they both laughed about it. This was during the 2016 campaign and I of course can’t find it now, though it’s mentioned in some write ups. He’s been reported by former staffers that worked with him as saying similar things. quote:In a video released by the group Republican Voters Against Trump, Ms. Troye recounted how Mr. Trump said in a task force meeting that one benefit of the pandemic was that he no longer would have to shake hands with his supporters.

That said, I haven't heard anything at all about the Ivanka/Jared this whole time. Have they fully removed themselves from politics, no public comment, etc. - or have I just missed it?

She and Jared got what they needed monetarily from the first term. I'm sure she's happy to live out of the public eye now. It's like trying to be James Murdoch instead of Lachlan Murdoch in my eyes.

Eric sat out most of the more public crimes and hardly ever publicly begged for the fatherly affection of Donald Trump.

Jared is probably not dumber than Eric, but Trump recognized Eric is a moron and did not let him do things. Jared was allowed, even encouraged, to do things.

At least the story behind it is sort of funny: the senator was comparing trans people to the X-Men, except I guess he never saw the movies because he basically played the role of the cowardly senator who fears what he doesn't understand to a T. Like, he brought up a movie only to compare himself to the villain and his enemies to the heroes.

While Eric is, as I assert, a big dumb moron, I'm pretty sure Trump would have treated him exactly the same regardless as he's an abusive fuckhead who sees he adult sons as possible rivals who need to be constantly put in their place. Possibly as he remembers how he himself stole from and lied to his own father endlessly, and drained all he could from him the moment he lost the mental faculties to keep Trump under control.

He was in charge of the pandemic response, finding peace in the middle east, developing criminal justice reform, solving the opioid epidemic, reassessing all of the U.S. trade deals, head of the 2020 election strategy team, head of fundraising for the 2020 campaign, revitalizing American manufacturing, revamping FEMA and disaster relief, innovating Medicaid benefits, chairing a commission to eliminate red tape in government, being the U.S. envoy to Saudi Arabia, reforming the Department of Justice, developing a plan to build new border infrastructure, creating the "Office of American Innovation," and implementing a national school choice plan.

OK, so it looks like I’m in the minority with my opinion that Eric is dumber than Jared. However, it is indisputable that Jared has lost vastly more money though demented business decisions. He also looks more like a haunted doll.

Surely, regardless of your political affiliation, we can ask agree how important it is to feed one of the most vulnerable segments of our country, especially since-https://newrepublic.com/post/173668/republicans-declare-banning-universal-free-school-meals-2024-priority posted:States across the country are moving to provide universal free school meals to all our children. Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to stop them from doing just that.
