Rudy has dirt on Trump?
Well maybe sexual harassment if this video is to be believed:

(For those not into TikTok, it’s Trump motorboating Giuliani in drag. Obviously 😳)
Pass the mind bleach.
Don't all little boys play at dressing up?
Turns out a President Elect can ask someone to perform at their inauguration ..... and they'll say yes.
I would rather a European style socially responsible democracy be the leading world light, rather than Americas selfish bigotry.
Of course you would - why do you think Putin interferes in elections in ways that favour nationalistic separatism both in the US, in Europe and even within the UK
I am looking forward to Putin leaking his dirt on Trump
saucy
RobHilton, I was thinking just yesterday that Trump’s model for himself is perhaps Goldfinger.
Wonder no longer! The evidence speaks for itself...
All lifted from
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auric_Goldfinger
He:
Cheated at golf
Didn't pay taxes
Named his companies after himself
Was obsessed with gold (maybe he'd have a gold toilet or elevator)
Fancies himself an expert pistol shot who never misses
Is fat and obnoxious
Has German heritage
Has an interest in Nazis
Is a sadist
Has access to atomic weapons
Plans to rob the USA
When the flaws in his plans are pointed out to him he responds only with a vague assurance that he has prepared solutions for these problems
Is investigated by the FBI
Plans to flee to the USSR
China stands to gain massive economic advantage due to his actions
Wiki agen:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ern%C5%91_Goldfinger
The guy Goldfinger was possibly based on - called, err... Goldfinger
Goldfinger rose to prominence in England as a designer of tower blocks.
Although Goldfinger enjoyed living in his own buildings, they were unpopular among both the public...
Goldfinger was known as a humourless man given to notorious rages. He sometimes fired his assistants if they were inappropriately jocular, and once forcibly ejected two prospective clients for imposing restrictions on his design.
The other guy Goldfinger was possibly based on:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_W._Engelhard_Jr
Had a German American father, from whom he inherited the family business
Had horses named Alley Fighter and Red Reality
Ran for New Jersey State Senate against Malcolm Forbes in the "Battle of the Billionaires" (Trumpleton fought Vince McMahon in "Battle of the Billionaires" at Wrestlemania 23. The claimed attendance of which was disputed)
Additional:
The guy who played Goldfinger had been a member of the Nazi Party

^ 99% legit for sure, may as well throw Trump the keys to the Whitehouse now with such damning evidence on video, for all to see with our own eyes.
Is she stoned? Or suffering from a loss of brain cells due to a recent blow to the head?
Trumpleton fought Vince McMahon in “Battle of the Billionaires” at Wrestlemania 23.
Trump had a wrestling match? That’s the only thing that has surprised me that from the last 131 pages.

That “testimony” video is nuts. Even taking into account the editing.

Dominion has already made clear she was employed as an operator, for one day. I was a computer operator in Bristol in my late teens. Didn't have a clue about the business process or what was going on. My job was to load paper and clear jams.
With Biden's $1.9 trillion package to address COVID and the economy, if this the difference between dems and republicans (i.e. a dem president gets more involved in policy) or did Trump just do nothing, other than send Mnuchin and co to negotiate stuff?
Feel a bit sorry for her. She is clearly struggling with 'personal issues', to put it mildly, and obviously isn't bright enough to realise what level of scrutiny she was signing up for. There are a lot of people out there whose personality defects will keep them digging the hole and continue trying to support whatever outrageous statement they made earlier, rather than realise they are waaay over their heads.
The Republicans are now compaing Donny to Jesus?
Sometimes Twitter really comes up ... erm... Trumps

Reminds me of the story about Vince McMann getting blown up as part of the 'kayfabe' storyline on a wrestling broadcast and Trump calling the WWE office to check if he was ok because Trump thought it was real.
I know that they've arrested a significant number of the 'faces of the riot' now. Ie those whose picture became a meme etc

And interesting the defence they are presenting to the media is we were here at the invite of the President, he told us to do this. Which doesn't really line up with many of the Republican's claims in Congress the other day that there was no link.
Which doesn’t really line up with many of the Republican’s claims
That they are in fact all Antifa infiltrators/ supporters?

To be fair, if they were antifa* infiltrators, that is actually exactly what they would say.
*they weren’t.
Deep, deep cover Antifa who'd infiltrated right wing groups 10, 20 or perhaps 30 years previously. As ordered by their lizard masters.
Imagine how pissed off you’d be, you listen to Trump, you come to Washington, you storm the Capitol like he asked, and he brands you either a supported if the Dems or a criminal...and now the FBI are comng for you
There's some great take-downs of the Trump / Giuliani falling out in the NY Times.

Rudy claims he wants to defend the President against impeachment.
Yep, cos he did such a GREAT job in overturning the election result... He's really desperate to get the expenses that he's due isn't he?!

Why would he do that? The game Putins engaged in, the game that Trump was the lead man for a little bit, will continue on without him.

They've become mandatory viewing for me since the election. Needless to say, none of them are pro-Trump.

indeed, if she’s not careful she could end up as president.

I’m amused that Google is serving me an ad for the Police Scotland Fraud helpline under the video of Donny Tango pauchling ornaments from the White House
The Capitol Police said Friday that they had opened an investigation into whether members of Congress inappropriately gave visitors access to the Capitol ahead of the storming of the building last week
I think there will be a lot of folk absolutely sitting themselves over this. Policemen, congressmen, senior cops etc etc
In the end it could be a good thing in that a lot of the nutters and neo nazis that have infiltrated the security services are going to be found out.

They haven't 'infiltrated'. They represent a section of society. R*unts they may be, but they think they're living life the right way and, maybe, they think they're serving society.
Besides, they need a job, 😁
Besides, besides, shouldn't the po-po etc. represent a cross-section of society??
Besides, besides, besides, as many a crinimal is an arseholes, is it a good thing to have some of the arseholes playing for the other (our) side?
To paraphrase Demolition Man: Send an arsehole to catch one.

They both represent a cross-section of society and have infiltrated the Military and the Police. It doesn't have to be either or.
Tj is right, a purge of sorts is coming. Not every extremist will be removed from the services but enough to scare the others into either valuing their job or their liberty. The most serious implications are for those Republican lawmakers who had led guided tours the day before, their staffers who potentially opened side doors, whoever removed the panic buttons and that newly elected q-annon gun nut who tweeted out where AOC was hiding during the siege, even after being explicitly instructed not to by the police.
I think as every day passes the Democrat Senators will be getting angrier and angrier. They will be far more concerned with holding those responsible accountable than looking to move on and 'heal' the nation with a sticking plaster.

Most of that is just standard procedure whenever a new President takes over - the White House is redecorated to suit the tastes of the incoming President and First Lady. What this really means is that the transition is going as normal and the Trump people have accepted that they will be out next week.
They haven’t ‘infiltrated’.

An old man is sat across the street from the White House, after a while he wanders over to a Marine on guard and demands to speak with President Trump.
The Marine explains that Trump is no longer president and doesn’t even live here any more. The old man thanks the Marine and heads off.
The same thing happens every day for the next few days, and finally the Marine snaps,
“Look sir, President Trump isn’t coming back, why do you do this every day?”
The old man says, “I know that, I just never tire of hearing it!”
The Marine smiles “See you tomorrow sir”

Wow, had no idea so much had been uncovered, and still not acted on. Their domestic terror issues have been huge for at least 30 years and this has been allowed to happen?

Wonder how many arrests for the riot there will be the day after Trump is replaced? Shame to get them a pardon before that...
From some of the clips of Trumps last speech as President it looks like he's throwing everyone at that riot under the bus to save himself from the impeachment. And Rudy too, by the looks of it.
The U.S. Capitol Police arrested a man at a security checkpoint in Washington on Friday after he flashed an “unauthorized” inauguration credential and a search of his truck found an unregistered handgun and more than 500 rounds of ammunition, the authorities said.

^^ Don’t have a sub to that publication but there is this report/article worthy a shufty too:
https://gizmodo.com/leaked-parler-data-points-to-users-at-police-stations-1846059897
It’s a situation that doesn’t have any (overwhelmingly) similar precedents? Raises the question is a law officer ‘always on duty’? Or can they reasonably be excused to simply indulge in some insurrectionist/terrorist/conspiratorial banter when off-duty? So many variables and slippery slopes in all directions.
The presence on Parler of active military and police raises concerns, experts said, about their potential exposure to far-right conspiracy theories and extremist ideologies enabled by the platform’s practically nonexistent moderation* and its stated openness to hate speech. Military officials have long considered infiltration and recruitment by white supremacist groups a threat. Groups that endorsed a wide range of racist beliefs appear to have been operating openly on Parler, the experts said, with the de facto permission of its owners.
(my bold)
Are they sure about that? I remember back in the day when moved to the US. I asked a mild devil's advocate question on a ‘comment is free’ right wing/libertarian/gun nut forum around the time after 9/11. Shortly after that on the same day my PC was hacked, my first name flashed up on the monitor, then I received a specific death-threat (detailed drive-by in my location). Probably just trying to scare me. I’ve been yeeted off many far right conspiracy channels for daring go against the grain and call them on details. Hundreds of comments of mine have been ‘disappeared’, without explanation. Grifters especially hate you for threatening their grift. Remember, you’re about as welcome as an AA mechanic browsing, kicking tyres and asking detailed questions of Honest John at ‘Honest John’s Used Car Emporium’
‘What? A fact-checker? Delete him!!!!!’
The Bellingcat YouTube channel is excellent.
It seems to me that many of the rioters really thought they were the good guys - no attempts to hide their faces, lots of people videoing each other. Sadly, Trump wasn't there lead them as promised.
"Makes you wonder why antifa etc don’t do the same?"

Degrees of separation innit. Antifa infiltrate the neo nazi’s (apparently), and then get picked to be the ones to infiltrate the institutions.
Wake up sheeple.

See, this is where I get a wee bit conflicted. Because if you really, truly believe that your democracy is being overthrown and the election stolen, and that the justice system is equally crooked, then direct action isn't unreasonable. In fact you could argue it's brave.
The fact that you have to be an absolute cretin to actually believe these things is important, but it doesn't really change those basics. One man's terrorist, etc.
Of course, the number of people that will accept that logic for these dudes, or believe that it's their civic duty to turn out on the 20th and make an armed stand and maybe die a heroic death to protect democracy, that and also accept it for say Palestinians throwing rocks at an Israeli soldier or someone strapping on a bomb vest and blowing up an invading US army checkpost in Iraq, is not going to be very big.

1. Because "antifa" isn't an organised group in the same way the "fa" is.
2. Because being anti-fascist is likely to make you stand out and be severely limiting to your career. Being...ahem...not anti-fascist won't cause problems for your career as a police officer in the US.
Im still chuckling at trump throwing Giuliani under the bus
Can someone explain the situation with Antifa in the US and how it’s become viewed as negatively as it appears to be.
Far right propaganda basically

It's hard to say because it isn't really an organization. It seems to be more of a theory of direct action against fascism and racism, i.e. being confrontational, with scattered groups doing their own thing. From the videos I've seen of antifa in street brawls, they suck at fighting, I don't think they are achieving anything at all. The number of real antifa who are willing to go out and battle it out seems to be pretty small, but the right wingers have been quite successful at lumping the BLM protesters in with antifa in an attempt to scare moderate voters. Personally, I think the hard core antifa people are idiots, they aren't achieving anything and they are discrediting the peaceful protestors who are much more likely to actually change things. Idiots or not, there just aren't very many antifa, they're a minor nuisance overall. The right wing militias are more dangerous by a couple of orders of magnitude and the antifa nonsense is distracting everyone from the serious threat.
They're the hunt saboteurs of American 'on the ground' politics.
Makes you wonder why antifa etc don’t do the same?
People opposed to fascism do infiltrate the police, but when they do they aim to expose corruption and improve things for their whole community and the police, see Small Axe episode 3, Red, White and Blue about Leroy Logan, and Spike Lee’sBlack Kkklansman.
I guess the point is that fascists are a cancerous growth who will kill a democracy if allowed to grow their influence unchecked, and those who oppose them are not. Opposition to fascism is not equivalency with fascism.
Because if you really, truly believe that your democracy is being overthrown and the election stolen, and that the justice system is equally crooked, then direct action isn’t unreasonable. In fact you could argue it’s brave.
They're idiots, but they were conned by somebody they should have been able to trust. Most of them hadn't sworn to uphold the Constitution. If Trump had accepted the election result, they would not have been in the Capitol. If they're getting prosecuted, there's no way he should escape (which doesn't mean he won't).

Yup, antifa are a largely made-up bogeyman for right wingers to fear. But it doesn't take much, lots of them are genuinely convinced that Joe Biden is a communist.
I'm getting the think this "radical left" moniker being thrown around is an anti environmentalist thang. Wouldn't be surprise if this whole pro trump thing ends at the door of big oil.
