You will probably not be too surprised to hear they started doing that in June, and have ramped up since then. Check out Trump Fundraising Email (@TrumpEmail) for a thorough (very arguably excessively thorough, lol) deep dive into their communications strategy. Emails will come from various Trump family members and…

Does anyone have a link to this story, because it sounds pretty extreme and makes me wonder if it is being described accurately. I googled and got zero hits, and the author here has provided no links einherent (unlike the rest of the article).

That's terrible, thanks for taking the time out to explain it to me! Seems like there should be some sort of limitation to the ability of president's to pardon if it's being abused like this regularly.

Clinton pardoned people who helped foreign parties undermine the US? This is a genuine question, I’m not American

She has been a bit open at points on her biography; I am not sure she’s ever been to NYC, I think she lives currently in LA. This isn’t on New York ;-)

I think it was him moving to Florida that’s the reference/joke

More than that, she was summoned to explain herself to Congress, asked if she could send her deputy in lieu (the gall of throwing her employee under the bus, honestly!!), this request was denied and THEN she suddenly signed the document. Typical bully: can’t even bear the smallest bit of (potential) pushback without…

You’re right of course, and I should have been more clear by what I meant, which was: the setting up of the conditions to enable an illegal seizure of power.

Totally, major world events happen because of random chance and mistakes all the time (rather than as a planned event). The fall of the Berlin Wall immediately comes to mind, which happened when it did because of a miscommunication!

I’ve been eating this comment all evening, but decided to post it, cause hey, so what if I look like a fool? So, so happy to be wrong here and called out later for overreacting.

I can’t speak for Arturo, but I can’t wait to get vaccinated. I’m healthy and under 50, so I’ll likely be part of the last group allowed, but should this pass peer review I would line up and be /thrilled/ to do so

As someone who was friends with a very rich person who had a baby a few years back, she’s got hella help

Listen! We’ve received thousands of tips on Cimmerius’ stolen Picasso and where it might be right now. What were asking for is patience as we investigate these tips that we most certainly aren’t making up in vague terms to obfuscate the fact that we’re a bunch of fucking grifting shitholes.

I honestly think it highlights just how much privilege one gets being born into wealth. Any other narcissist would be much less successful in conning other people. But if you are born into wealth, well so many people assume that being wealthy is a sign of character (hard worker! smart!) and will buy the blow hard…

I think it's because Gritty has become something of a leftist meme as well

Plague doctor covered the Gritty reference below (and of course, it was Philadelphia that finally put Biden over the top). In Game of Thrones, the other reference, the character portrayed was about to die and in her last act made sure that her killers told her rival that she was responsible for killing her son / the…

I imagine a good chunk of them don’t really think there’s a conspiracy, they’re just hoping to perform some sort of theatrical obstruction. It’s like catching a romantic partner with lipstick (not yours) on their collar and they respond with overdramatic, histrionic aggression. It's meant to gaslight, manipulate, and…

If you’re in reddit, maybe try tiktokcringe if you’re curious, it can be pretty funny sometimes! A curated list of tiktok, if you will

I’d say that’s some whistling past the graveyard for a lot of them. But I wholly agree that it’s way less assured than those in the article want to believe

Yes, he’s thinking of the photo optics and the authority of the white house environment
