Worth a repost from the Hangout thread:

"Who died and made him Pope anyway?"

"Can we move him to a different parish? Find that out."

 

Former Supreme Court Justice David Souter dies

Did JD Vance kill him too?

I'm just asking questions.

 

He was another who warned us...may he RIP.

"What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed, people will not know who is responsible. And when the problems get bad enough ... some one person will come forward and say, ‘Give me total power and I will solve this problem.’ That is how the Roman republic fell,” Souter said in a 2012 interview.

 

I should have said obsessed. Obviously I know she doesn't like him

 

Souter was, as far as I can remember, the last unpolitical Republican SC Justice

 

@Andre0087 is a imbecile. Wouldn't entertain anything he says

 

Do you even read the things you respond to, or is it just a reflex?

 

Any news here regarding the arrested mayor (of Newark) or is that just reddit scare tactics

 

He’s been released, busy and can’t post the link.

 

He was reportedly released five hours later and charged with trespassing.
It's mentioned in the middle of the article below, among others.

But he wasn't trespassing. He was on public property after he left the facility

 

Most of the time I do but sometimes I just skim over. Really depends on the poster

Qatar giving Trump a jet.....?????

This is SO ILLEGAL - he can't accept gifts from a foreign government that breaks the emoluments clause. The guy should be impeached, and imprisoned.

DD

 

Absolutely corrupt this administration is. Textbook bribery

 

"But he doesn't take a salary making him the most patriotic American ever!!!" -random D&D mouth breather

I honestly hate selling arms to countries who are horrific human rights abusers. There's so much abuse in Authoritarian/Dictator type regimes. I hate thinking about a $100 billion in arms sales to the Saudis. Arm sales are just such a nasty business anyway, especially when so many of our arms sales end up in the hands of terrorists.

Don't expect Trump's loyalist picks for Attorney General, FBI Director or CIA to be enforcing any corruption against Trump for that gifted plane. Bondi earned $115,000 a month as a registered foreign lobbyist for the Qatari government. Patal also received money consulting for the Qatari government. John Ratcliffe is also a partisan loyalist with a history of politicizing intelligence.

Neither one of those Trump loyalists will ever investigate or charge Trump with corruption no matter what he does. He gifted them those appointments and expects loyalty to him, not the law. They have both lied for him, defended him, and spread his false conspiracy theories BS before.

What's funny is when the White House Press Secretary said it was "frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit."

Yeah, right! Now that's hilarious.

Funny how in just over a week after Trump's family announced the development of Trump International Hotel & Tower, Dubai, he's heading to the United Arab Emirates. Oh, and then there was the $2 billion investment into the Trump family cryptocurrency by the Abu Dhabi investment firm a week ago.

In Saudi Arabia, there are 3 Trump Organization projects underway, including two residential projects and a golf course.

A couple weeks ago Eric Trump linked a deal to develop a $5.5 billion golf club just north of Doha, called the Trump International Golf Club, Simaisima.

Also, Trump just recently hosted the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour at his Trump National Doral resort.

But yeah, excuse me for not stupidly believing the White House Press Secretary's BS when she said that it is frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. Only someone deep in the MAGA cult would believe that crap. There is ALWAYS something Trump wants for himself and his Trump family businesses.
