Do we want to know what this means?
"I did see the acts occur firsthand and Venmo transactions, Cash App or other payments were made to these girls on behalf of the Congressman.”"
idk i mean, Roger Stone trying to broker a pardon for $250k in bitcoin seems like a BFD.
"“Congressman Gaetz has never paid for sex nor has he had sex with a 17 year old as an adult."
That's some awkwardly worded crisis PR language right there by @lgcpr. Should have ponied up for someone with a lil more experience than @harlan
OK so were Rudy and Jared also brokering pardons?
"“This is treacherous territory with a lot of different players such as Jared and Giuliani playing a hand,” Stone wrote, presumably referring to Trump adviser Jared Kushner and the president’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani."
Regarding the “America First Caucus,” a friendly reminder that the majority of American citizens under 18 are.....not white. The future of America is not white.
Angry white people are already a minority. This is the death rattle of their stranglehold on political power.
My parents got married just a few years after Loving v Virginia.
Their mixed race marriage was seen as a radical act by some. My mom’s parents didn’t care, it was the white side of the family that did.
Here they are, my dad was in the Navy and my mom was in medical school:
Here’s me with my grandparents when I was in college.
I was kind of an anomaly growing up. My friend group was racially mixed, but very few kids in my posh private school peer group were from mixed race families. Even fewer in my college class.
But that was 20+ years ago.
Dorworth, aka Gaetz’ former roommate, was working at @ballardfirm (which he resigned from last week) when this happened.
You know, the most successful lobbying firm during Trump’s presidency. The same firm Pam Bondi joined in 2019.
The GOP hates that large American corporations listen to the majority of the American public wrt to public perception, political stances, etc.
Why?
The free market accepts that being on the side of the popular vote is generally better for the bottom line.
This grates on the
nerves of free-market-pretenders like McConnell etc.
Why?
Because the GOP has entrenched itself as the tyranny of the minority party-aka it has embraced power via the polar opposite of a free market for political power-and it pisses the GOP off that they can’t use their unfair
political structural advantages to order corporations around.
It’s delicious, in a way.
