Remember a few months back when I posted about law enforcement subjecting underprivileged minorities with unreasonable & crippling fines for minor inconveniences (a practice typically called extortion) or run the risk of being jailed in the Midwest? Here’s some more news that proves there’s absolutely no way the justice system is a racist institution that disproportionately targets particular ethnic groups

Literally targeting black beauticians who may not be able to afford licensing but have the skills necessary to do the job. But you can waltz right into a **** ing store in that state and buy an assault rifle without a license.

Republican politicians are quickly revealing themselves to be nothing but pure sadist scum.

Attorney for Porn Star Says She Faced Physical Threats

Michael Avenatti tells MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Stormy Daniels — whose real name is Stephanie Clifford — wants to "tell her story" of the affair with Trump before he became president.

Asked if Daniels was physically threatened, Avenatti said "yes," but did not provide details.

Avenatti said that more detail would be revealed in an interview taped with CBS' News "60 Minutes." He says: "There's the act and the cover-up and the American people are going to learn about both in the interview and beyond."

The actress wants to invalidate a nondisclosure agreement under which she was paid $130,000 not to give details of her encounters with Trump.

Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, appeared on CNN Thursday evening and said that he has recently spoken to six other women with similar stories. According to Avenatti at least two of these women have non-disclosure agreements with Trump.

Avenatti did not name the women and would not comment on the timing of the non-disclosure agreements. He has not yet decided if he will represent them.

The alleged existence, however, of at least six other women with similar stories to Daniels is not merely a sex scandal — it creates serious risks for the United States government. It shows that Trump may have broad exposure to extortion and blackmail.

I saw this when it aired and the way he responded yes gave me a chill.

If you have read anything about Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations about Trump raping and abusing a 13 year old at one of Epstein's pedo sex parties, the witness claimed that they were threatened into silence in a similar manner. This on top of the allegations that he beat and raped Ivana Trump out of anger after a botched hair plug operation...wouldn't shock me if what Stormy Daniels has to tell about him is nothing short of disgusting.

BOMBSHELL: Obama's DOJ Forced Deletion Of 500,000 Fugitives From Gun Background Check System

https://www.dailywire.com/news/28317/bombshell-obamas-doj-forced-deletion-500000-ryan-saavedra

On Wednesday, acting FBI deputy director David Bowdich testified during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that former President Barack Obama's Department of Justice forced the FBI to delete over 500,000 fugitives, who had outstanding arrest warrants, from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).

"It's my understanding that under federal law fugitives cannot legally purchase or possess guns," Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) began. "We've heard from local law enforcement that the Justice Department has issued a memo that forced the FBI NICS background check database to drop more than 500,000 names of fugitives with outstanding arrest warrants because it was uncertain whether those fugitives had fled across state lines."

"Mr. Bowdich, can you describe why this determination was made by the Justice Department?" Feinstein asked.

“That was a decision that was made under the previous administration,” Bowdich replied. “It was the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel that reviewed the law and believed that it needed to be interpreted so that if someone was a fugitive in a state, there had to be indications that they had crossed state lines.”

^^yeah I'm sure Obama and Hillary will be going to prison any day now.

anyway:

Read on Twitter

So, for those playing at home:

1) It is announced that Don. Jr's wife filed for divorce. The news seemed out of the blue.

2) News then breaks out that Robert Mueller has subpoenaed The Trump Organization to turn over records regarding their foreign business activities, basically indicating that The Trump Organization is the target of a federal criminal investigation. Donald Trump Jr. is the Executive Director of the conglomerate.

3) Vanessa Trump hires a criminal defense attorney.

It doesn't take a stable genius to see what is about to go down here, and it will involve federal prison, assets being seized and some loudmouth ass holes begging for a plea deal. :lol:

and taking a look at that photo of them together, I don't think she looks like the type that wants any part of going to jail for a sloppy looking doofus like him.

As I said yesterday:

and don't think that his kids, especially Ivanka, come out of this unscathed.

Don. Jr will be spending his 40s and 50s wearing an orange jump suit, staring at 4 concrete walls 23 hours a day, 7 days a week

Let's ease off on his mother. She could be as embarrassed by her son's views as we think she should be and even if she isn't, we still shouldn't bring her into this conversation.

Yea, I think it’s undeniable now. I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe, just maybe he was one of the few conservatives who isn’t racist but I guess I shouldn’t have been so naive.

I don’t understand why he still posts on this thread, all he does is get embarrassed repeatedly in intellectual debate by multiple people, exposing not only his bigotry but his overall ignorance as well.

See I want to somehow blame this on the education system but I think some individuals are just born horrible, hateful people.

I agree. His mother could be a wonderful person. We all know that women, even conservative women, tend to be more compassionate than their male counterparts. Often times bigots learn these ideas from conservative propaganda (Russian bots/Fox News) and their uneducated peers. Just like that girl from New Jersey who was denounced by her family when she was kicked out of Alabama for her racist “Finstagram”

I mean how can you idolize this crude man and not wonder ‘what if that was my mother’ that had been disrespected like that. This would a make a lot more sense if mama 13th made an appearance in the infamous tape

His lawyers have to be either incredibly stupid, or they're just letting hang himself while they collect on those billable hours. Maybe a bit a both. Every time he tweets about Comey and McCabe, who are both witnesses in a federal investigation into whether or not he committed obstruction of justice, he's setting himself up for even more legal exposure.

Yeah, I mean being a conservative doesn't automatically make someone vile and racist. There are lots of sensible, decent human beings out there who trend conservative that don't stand for anything like 13th and the rest of the Trump Cult stand for.

Anyway, now we know clearly why he refused to denounce racism when shakeandfries asked him to. Anyone who remotely spreads something like that video is steeped neck deep in the realm of antiblackness. But of course, he has a black friend, so he can't possibly be racist...as if that means anything to anyone who has 1/10th of a clue about how racist people operate. It's kind of like how he probably smiles in his gay co worker's face while thinking that he's a genetic mistake like a goddamn nazi piece of ****.

You guys read way too much into a simple comment that I made regarding the video. I'm not racist at all, simply observing how race relations has changed over the past 15 years or so, which is sad to see. While it's true that Trump isn't exactly helping matters, both sides need to be more empathetic of one another. When I lived in the U.S., the race tensions weren't as high as they are now, hence why I was shaking my head in disappointment when I watched the video. This applies to both sides of course. If you haven't noticed, I have been criticizing the victim mentality by ALL people, so this video is just a subset of my criticism, nothing more.

Make it out to how you want, I'm heading out to date a very beautiful east Indian girl almost 20 years my junior

And last night I partied with my closest buddies, get this; it involves a Leb, a Black guy, a Loas guy and NO white guy! How does that work as an alt-righty?? I don't know, I'm afraid to face repercussions from my klan if they get wind of this!

You guys will put a spin on anything but it doesn't matter to me. It's a shame that you have look at things from one perspective only and not the broader picture. I have no ill will against black people, I have great respect for them in real life and always have great interactions with them.

The only time when I had to speak up was when one of my friends from Congo brought this girl to my house for the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight and all she talked about was BLM and why so many were against Floyd just because he's black. I had to tell her to kindly STFU about race and just enjoy the fight. My buddy apologized to me afterwards and was embarrassed for her actions.

^^Asha's analysis during this entire fiasco has been nothing short of excellent. she's a great follow on twitter.

Read on Twitter

This won't end the way Donald Trump thinks it will. this stunt with McCabe is just as stupid as firing James Comey which got Mueller sic'd onto his fat, sloppy ass. I guess it's a good thing that Trump isn't smart because someone who is cunning and is as corrupt and cruel as he is could do a lot more damage. I hope that this is a reminder to everyone that they need to get out and vote every election cycle. even if you have to hold your nose, VOTE. As much as I'm not a fan or hers, I'd rather deal with Hillary Clinton right now who is of sane and sound mind over this lunatic criminal any day of the week.

and I'm not sure how sane Jeff Sessions is. racist yes and a traitor stooge, but to tie yourself into obstruction of justice at this stage of the game where people are getting indicted is kind of crazy. the only way I can see why he'd go along with this is because he's cooperating on the backend with the Special Counsel and is trying to keep Trump from firing him in order to prevent a new Attorney General from stonewalling Mueller.

Just like Bannon, I think Sessions is scum. But stupid enough to fall on his sword for Trump? I'm not sure. That takes a special kind of stupid, like Michael Cohen or John Dowd, who will both end up getting locked up over all of this.

christ, you are full of ****.

So you decided to silence a woman who was pointing out anti blackness being displayed amongst your peers towards Floyd Mayweather*. Yeah sure, you're not sexist or racist at all. and I have news for you buddy. Just because you have a black friend(s) from Africa doesn't mean that they don't harbor anti black/racist sentiments towards black americans as well. racism towards black people worldwide especially black america is present not just in Europe, but in Asia, Africa, North/South America and Australia. ethnicity doesn't mean anything, the same racist crap black people deal with in China or Eastern Europe happens right in Africa too... so just because someone from the congo vibes with your trash beliefs doesn't mean that a) they aren't trash themselves and b) your beliefs are justified. it just means that you're both trash that kowtows to white supremacist beliefs. I know for a fact that some Africans aren't necessarily that keen towards their trans atlantic slave trade produced family members in the United States, so just because you found someone to act like a coon around you doesn't mean jack.

*(to be clear, both floyd and manny are garbage people btw, floyd beats women, has said racist things, and manny hates gay people just like you do. so i'm not a fan of either. just pointing out what you just admitted doing).
