President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Never been much of a Slurs fan. Removing Synder might help change that.

I posted that in the wrong thread but yeah, the sooner Snyder is gone the better.

This is important because it's a civil trial and the law permits negative inferences from taking the fifth, unlike in criminal proceedings. Prosecutors are deliberately coordinating parallel civil and criminal proceedings, which the Trump legal team tried to take advantage of, but it's a standard workaround of the fifth amendment that prosecutors use all the time.

Love how this is bringing out all the flaws in our current justice system! Love to see it finally used against a rich person!

Trump's lawyer didn't earn any favors with the judge who described some of
their positions as Orwellian, out of a Lewis Carroll novel (words mean what
I say they do) or preposterous. I don't see Golfy or his kids helping themselves
on the stand. If they take the 5th, ads will quickly be made juxtaposing tRump
saying only guilty people do that with him doing that (assuming video of the trial
is available, which perhaps isn't). The NYAG has a clear opp to become an
international folk hero if things continue to go her way. It would be rich
to see the tRumps get taken down by a woman of color. Stay tuned.

My wife and I watched an extremely disturbing documentary last night
about the horrifying situation in Yemen.

All the money from arms sales in the world could never justify the atrocity of what
is happening there. It's heartbreaking. eff the Saudis. Nothing could justify this.

Seriously what is wrong with you people ?
The cost of living is going thru the roof
Gas prices going up everyday
Millions of illegal aliens were welcomed with open arms
Biden left military equipment and US citizens in Afghanistan
Now he's determined to start a war over something thats none of the US"S business
Empty store shelves
But all you (democrats) do is talk about Trump,you're truly pathetic

Biden followed through on Golfy McBonespurs' plan to leave Af'stan.
That is ultimately an unquestionably good thing.
Where is your evidence of millions of illegal's 'being welcomed with open arms'?
Or that Biden is 'determined to start a war'?

I respectfully suggest you quit watching the news channel that
testifies in court that no one should believe what they say.
(This is a real thing) A very recent example is all their outrage
about the Hillary spying scandal. It's made up and entirely performative,
kind of like what you posted.
https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/greedy-associates/tucker-carlson-successfully-argues-nobody-really-believes-tucker-carlson-is-reporting-facts/

Let me finish by asking you what percentage of current GOP reps in House
and Senate you predict are going to campaign claiming credit for things the
infrastructure bill brought to their constituents, the infrastructure bill they
uniformly voted against?

What is the GOP for? No one knows or will say. If you go by what they
actually did during 2 most recent years of complete control, the only thing they
did was cut taxes for rich people ie their donors, while vastly overstating the
benefits and lying about it paying for itself.

We talk about people like you who voted for Trump, who believe all the lies told on Fox News about gas prices and illegal aliens and who love Putin and hate democracy.

Why do you hate America? If you don't like it, leave! Go to Russia if you think Putin's so great.

I’d scold Zonk for parroting GOP arguments if he weren’t actually right
about the GOP “hating” America. I won’t suggest you move away but
rather that you think more and deeper and particularly about your
sources of information.

You’ve provided zero evidence for anything that you said and half of that **** isn’t even true or the fault of the Democratic Party. You just want an excuse to mouth off, probably on a burner account, because you can’t intelligently speak about politics.

Links?

BTW, insults hint strongly you got nothing just like the tRump campaign had
nothing and got laughed out of court Nov2020-Dec2020. It hurts to be
treated so derisively doesn’t it?
