Desantis Defends DOJ in Indictment of Trump posted by freeper shadowlands1960

The headline is false. Flaming erupts and a bunch of the thread is consumed by it. It's all really dumb though so I'm not including it. Just think about the dumbest fight between a Trump supporter and a DeSantis supporter, and then make it dumber.

At least it starts very, very well.

You either take him out and jail him which won’t stop the MAGA movement or you assassinate him which won’t stop it either…he’ll just become a bigger martyr for the MAGA base. They’re screwed either way. Remember Tiananmen Square in China? How they literally destroyed that movement? That is exactly what they’re trying to do to the MAGA movement…..grind it to the ground with both parties participating in the kill! They’re still thinking cowboys and Indians, where the Cowboys would take out the chief, and the Indians would scatter, and be no more….but they picked on the wrong people! 74 million and growing tremendously by leaps and bounds is a huge group to be reckoned with. The DOJ better get that through their thick skulls!!

just as Democrats planned

quote:

To: conservative98

On January 6, Trump should have stayed in the background and let the process play itself out as members of the House and Senate protested the electoral college count.

Instead, he was behind a podium airing his grievances before a crowd that was infiltrated by Feds and ready to halt the legal process that was underway in Congress. Republicans had prepared a game plan to stop the electoral count. It was derailed by the protests just as Democrats planned.

It was a stupid move on Trump’s part, but he can’t help himself. He always has to be front and center with everything and ends up shooting himself in the foot.

He walked right into the trap the Democrats had set for him. They knew he intended to whip up his supporters before a protest march. He telegraphed his intentions days in advance. Nothing like telling your enemies your battle plan. Pelosi and Schumer knew exactly what to do. How else do you explain the absence of security and an adequate police force to control the crowd?

Eh, I see it as a corollary of Sartre's message about the anti-semite. It has the same content and purpose as all other fascist hate speech, those are just the dumber fascists that can't manufacture the veneer for their words that is used to attack and discredit their opposition. Internal to the movement it's still exactly as coherent as all their other messaging. It has the emotional content of "I hate these people, hate these people along with me" that they're all responding to. They just aren't dressing it up as well in the language of their enemies as the smarter fascists are capable of.

Today the murder of someone who violates a cultural taboo is often called an “honor” killing - that means yes, a murder was committed, but under understandable circumstances.

Sometimes it is said the victim “had an interaction” with the killer(s).

Unless you know the racial component it is not always clear what is a lynching and what is an honor killing.

Sort of. She originally claimed that he had grabbed her, made sexual comments, and seemed threatening. She later said those weren't true on her deathbed. She still says that he did wolf whistle at her, but the other stuff was false.

Edit: Actually, according to this NYT article, the claim came from a Professor who was interviewing her. He claims that she told him that during the trial she tried to "make Emmett’s conduct sound more threatening than it actually was."

He sent the tape to the FBI and the FBI opened a case, but they said the comments on the tape he provided couldn't be considered a recantation. She also had an unpublished memoir before she died where she sticks to her original story, so she never did actually recant it before she died.

The Professor claimed she did and that was the story for a while, but "I tried to make it sound as bad as possible in the witness stand at trial" wasn't actually a recantation and she still said it went down mostly as she originally claimed in her book. But, the Professor's story was the dominant one for about 4 or 5 years until the memoirs and FBI report on his tape came out.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/27/us/carolyn-bryant-donham-dead.html

The wolf whistling is the only thing that multiple people can confirm. His friends may have dared him to do it, but they aren't sure why exactly he did. Everything else about the incident hasn't been 100% proven or disproven by anyone.

quote:

But at the trial, she testified — without the jury present — that Emmett had grabbed her hand, she pulled away, and he followed her behind the counter, clasped her waist, and, using vulgar language, told her that he had been with white women before.

quote:

During the murder trial, Bryant testified that Till grabbed her hand while she was stocking candy and said, "How about a date, baby?" She said that after she freed herself from his grasp, the young man followed her to the cash register, grabbed her waist and said, "What's the matter baby, can't you take it?" Bryant said she freed herself, and Till said, "You needn't be afraid of me, baby", used "one 'unprintable' word" and said "I've been with white women before."

quote:

More than half a century after the murder, Timothy B. Tyson, a Duke University historian who interviewed her, wrote that she had admitted to him that she had perjured herself on the witness stand to make Emmett’s conduct sound more threatening than it actually was — serving, in Dr. Tyson’s words, as “the mouthpiece of a monstrous lie.”

“She said with respect to the physical assault on her, or anything menacing or sexual, that that part isn’t true,” Dr. Tyson told “CBS This Morning” in 2017.

The publication of his book on the case, “The Blood of Emmett Till” (2017), prompted the Justice Department to reopen an investigation, in which it subpoenaed Dr. Tyson’s research materials. The federal authorities said Mrs. Bryant denied ever having changed her story, and they questioned Dr. Tyson’s claims, saying a tape recording of an interview that he had conducted with her, which he had provided to investigators, did not contain any sort of recantation. They closed the case in 2021 without bringing charges.

See my earlier post. There’s actually a biological basis to it. Typically black people, especially males, have much higher bone density and muscle mass than the average white person (that’s why only half as many black women as white have osteoporosis - nothing to do with “systemic racism” and everything to do with average bone density). In addition, there’s very rarely any culture of swimming in the community, so they don’t learn as children.

OK - first my qualifications: daughter of two competitive swimmers; mom was a swimming teacher. Began swimming before I could walk. WSI, BSA and Red Cross Lifeguard, SCUBA Open Water cert.

That guy cannot swim - very weak swimmer - and he admitted he had trouble learning to swim as an adult. He is struggling in the water - much of his energy is being expended in staying on top rather than making forward progress. A good swimmer knifes through the water with minimal energy.

In the second clip, he only did a few strokes then switches to a different stroke because he sank and couldn't get his breath. He has trouble with his breathing rhythm as well. AND he's using flippers, which is cheating. The fact that he can't make much progress EVEN with flippers on is telling - even when he's doing the extended flutter kick in the first clip.

Just the sort of weak swimmer who would get overconfident and drown.

The other problem is that as a very muscular and rather short male, he is a "natural sinker" -- which is another reason why he's struggling.

And, at the risk of being called nasty names, there are several issues with black people, especially men, learning to swim. Bone and muscle density are higher on average which = "natural sinker". I'm a natural sinker myself, or at least was til I became a bit pudgy in middle age. And there is not an emphasis on swimming in the black community, so many don't learn as children when it's easier (the same is true for the Latin community - my daughter's roommate in college was from San Antonio and she had never been in the water. Thankfully their college had a freshman swimming test requirement, which we dragged her through.)

Worry not. The elites have access to medical care forbidden to us peasants.

They all had easy access to ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine when they were keeping it from us.

Yeah who wanted to overturn Roe anyway by keeping Garland off SCOTUS lol.

Miotch has many faults but allowing Trump 3 SCOTUS appointees, for a total of 234 Article III Federal judiciary appointments by President Trump, was an all-time masterstroke of Senate manuevering.

And now Miotch is having a masterstroke for real. Fine. He's just gotta quietly vegetable until December 12.

I once thought that this was a laudable accomplishment as well. But then I realized that this is the expected MINIMUM duty of the senate leader worth his salt! He isn't going above and beyond by such a record, but is just doing was he should be doing by virtue of his Party affiliation.

And he did just that. The only two Presidents to have appointed more SCOTUS in 4 years were Taft and Harrison.

Miotch pick-pocketed the White Hut and kept that scumbag Obama from making a 3rd appointment because of Miotch's wiliness, the same thing people find disagreeable.

After 8 years of that Mau Mau, Miotch held a bare GOP Senate majority together in one of the most underrecognized acts of legislative defiance in modern history. F Obama, F Garland.

On the other hand, Reid kept Shrub over 8 years to just 2 appointments, one of them very bad (Roberts).

And lol, there have only been 3 GOP Majority Leaders this century: Lott, Frist, and McConnell, so there is almost nothing to base a comparison on. But you keep on flappin' them gums while you're getting schooled, I got all day...

McConnell never has a bad word to say about the corrupt Biden. Suspect he is terrified that if Biden goes down for his crimes, he will take McConnell, who has his own little arrangement with China, with him. Must be tough being 80 and living in a constant state of fear. Takes its toll.

It's heartening to see Mitch McConnell, the GOP's most effective figure in the past decade, get absolutely no love or credit from the base.

Most effective figure since Reagan I'd say.
