Politics And Current Events

[MWB]

Back to flags... on the way home I passed a neighborhood entrance that had three boys (10-15 years old) waving flags. A US flag, a blue lives matter flag, and a trump flag.

What's the punchline?

Source of the post Bette Midler's feed is full on Trump bombs almost daily.

In my defense, I absolutely don't follow Bette Midler.

[Dickie Dunn]

nocera definitely follows Bette Midler.

[nocera]

I definitely do not. And I certainly don't have her as a favorite artist on Spotify. And The Understudy is in no way one of my favorite episodes of Seinfeld. Leave me alone.

What's the punchline?

You mean 'where'.

Trump Said to Be Warned That Giuliani Was Conveying Russian Disinformation

The intelligence agencies warned the White House late last year that Russian intelligence officers were using President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani as a conduit for disinformation aimed at undermining Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s presidential run, according to four current and former American officials.

The agencies imparted the warning months before disclosing publicly in August that Moscow was trying to interfere in the election by taking aim at Mr. Biden’s campaign, the officials said. Mr. Trump and Mr. Giuliani have promoted unsubstantiated claims about Mr. Biden that have aligned with Russian disinformation efforts, and Mr. Giuliani has met with a Ukrainian lawmaker whom American officials believe is a Russian agent.

Robert C. O’Brien, the national security adviser, presented the warning about Mr. Giuliani to Mr. Trump in December. Two former officials gave conflicting accounts about its nature. One said the report was presented to Mr. Trump as unverified and vague, but another said the intelligence agencies had developed solid and credible information that Mr. Giuliani was being “worked over” by Russian operatives.

Mr. Trump shrugged it off, officials said, but the first former official cautioned that his reaction could have been colored in part by other information given to him not long before that appeared to back some of Mr. Giuliani’s claims about Ukraine. The specifics of that material were unclear.

Mr. Giuliani’s work seized attention in the presidential race again this week when The New York Post published articles about Mr. Biden and his son based on material Mr. Giuliani provided. The Biden campaign rejected the reports, and Facebook and Twitter deemed them so dubious that they limited access to them.

The New York Times has not been able to verify the information that Mr. Giuliani furnished to The Post, which he said came from a laptop left at a Delaware repair shop. The owner of the shop has given conflicting accounts to reporters, and Mr. Giuliani’s acquisition of the laptop has raised questions about the material on it.

Intelligence community is just carrying water for Hunter.

Up the street there's one that says "Jesus is my Savior, Trump is my President."

Excuse me are you serious right now? Clearly from the other signs on your lawn, Trump is your Savior.

I just love the photos that the bbc uses sometimes for US politicians

[Dickie Dunn]

They really capture the spirit of the thing.

There is one on I-81 south of Winchester, VA that I have never been brave enough to try.

[Freddy Rumsen]

The worst political opinion shared in this thread since I got roped in is that Bojangles is remotely edible.

Thank you

This is just evil.

It’s so weird for me that people idolize such an awful and morally bankrupt person.

I can understand supporting him and agreeing with his policies. But the weird cult is so gross and just so strange

[skullman80]

There must be some sort of Trump get together this morning. They all gathered at the old Gander Mountain parking lot where giant eagle used to be and Phantom fireworks is now further up 22.

[Troy Loney]

I thinks he’s got a rally in Johnstown or thereabouts

[Freddy Rumsen]

Dianne decided to throw away decades of cred to be polite to Republicans. Serves her right.

[grunthy]

I read that as Narwhal first.

In non-Trump politics today, the Labour Party won 49% of the vote in New Zealand following Jacinda Ahdern’s leadership during the pandemic, but she and her party will have a tough road ahead as will most governments post-COVID.

Feinstein, who i can't stand because of the Kavanaugh sham, shows humanity toward a conservative and is under the gun for it? Politics are so ****.

[King Colby]

non-Trump politics

Never heard of it
