    Yep. More right wing terrorism is likely, but that's a far cry from a civil war.

    Yep, and both of my senators signed onto this, while only one is up for re-election this year, and she literally just broke BOTH of her oaths of office to defend the fucking traitor in the White House. Fucking Joni Ernst has been nothing but a stain on my state, and Grassley just needs to fucking retire.

    i mean, according to that other video tim had, a lot of people seem to think things are turning rough(less than there were a while back though, indicating things could be getting better maybe).

    personally, i don't really believe it will, modern humans are too weak. too domesticated. but i don't care if it does happen, i won't be involved. plenty of places during the original civil war were unaffected by the fighting, and my area probably would be as well.

    there is a simple thing called ignoring what you don't like.

    No, it is about ignoring a dipshit and not watching a video that is best friends with white nationalist cunts like Lauren Southern that pushes the Great Replacement conspiracy theory on his channel. Then he goes around and eating and being best friends with racist cunts like Brittany Pettibone, James Allsup, Vincent James and Baked Alaska, all of which are ACTUAL NAZIS. So, no, not going to give a platform to that piece of fucking shit that claims to be "independent", while posting all bullshit right wing videos.

    Kelleyanne seems to have pulled a Scaramuchi and called a reporter to complain about them writing about her husband, thinking she was off the record despite never clarifying this.



    Bonus points: She threatened to investigate the reporter for this. She seems like an utter joy.

    Tim Pool pretty much exclusively posts right wing talking points and conspiracies on his YouTube channel. So, tell me, how is he not right wing?

    See the issue is Tim claims he was a liberal, so there is no possible way he could make right wing or even right leaning content. If if that is exactly what he does.

    What? How can he not make right leaning content, considering that is ALL he does?

    Here is his main channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Timcasts/videos

    Not a single video in there, is "independent" or left leaning. But there is a lot of bullshit pushing conspiracy theories. Like that AOC was "hoaxed" by the Eat the Babies bullshit that some right winger group tried to pull, all AOC did was say thanks for talking now sit the fuck down. Or how CNN was supposedly "exposed" by Project Veritas, when Veritas is all just 100% bullshit that no one with a working brain believes anymore because of their fraudulent claims that have been pushed over the last 5 years.

    Then you have his 2nd channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe0...xAJnjdA/videos

    Same thing, just from a different angle, a lot of bullshit conspiracy theories, and retarded right wing rhetoric.

    The government told a federal court on Thursday that more than 1,500 migrant families were forcibly separated by U.S. authorities before the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy was fully implemented, meaning a total of at least 4,300 families were separated before a judge ordered the administration to halt the controversial practice.

    ...

    The ACLU does not know whether the newly identified 1,556 families have been reunited.
    The Trump administration may be responsible for the single largest mass-kidnapping in US history.

    "Oh, they're turning a building into a factory!"

    No, they're adding a bathroom, a kitchen, and a classroom to one side of one floor.

    "Um...they're making a giant training facility for thousands of -- "

    Dozens.

    "Dozens of people and spending millions of -- "

    $240,000

    "Hundreds of thousands to begin construction by...um...when?"

    Unknown. They've said they're putting most of their attention in their other plant.

    "Ah, the famous Downtown building they also bought!"

    No, there's no plans on that. I meant Mount Pleasant.

    "Oh right, Mount Pleasant, the tech center due to open by the end of the year!"

    Sometime next year.

    "...um..."

    It has not been at all like promised.

    Wisconsin promised nearly $4 billion in state and local tax incentives to Foxconn if it invested $10 billion and created 13,000 jobs for the project, which Trump heralded last year as the "eighth wonder of the world."

    But Foxconn has repeatedly revised its plans for what will be made in Wisconsin and who will work there, causing confusion in the state and leading critics of the project this week to accuse Foxconn of a "bait and switch."

    The original deal was struck by then-Gov. Scott Walker and Trump. Evers, Wisconsin's current governor who used Walker's support for Foxconn against him in the race, was a critic of the project during the campaign but has said this week he's working closely with Foxconn on the project.

    Foxconn earlier this week cited a changing global market as requiring a move away from making LCD panels in Wisconsin. Apple is Foxconn's main manufacturing customer and it has forecast a drop in revenue from the Chinese market due to decreasing demand for iPhones.
    Bolded for irony. The building is supposed to employ 125 people, also known as "not quite 1% of what Foxconn promised".

    Pence gave a speech in which he attacked US companies for siding with China.

    Pence said the NBA is "siding with the Chinese Communist Party and silencing free speech ... acting like a wholly owned subsidiary of the authoritarian regime."

    “Nike promotes itself as a so-called social-justice champion, but when it comes to Hong Kong, it prefers checking its social conscience at the door,” he said.
    Pence would have continued, but someone took a knee, so he had to leave the building.

    Hey remember when Chris Christie/NJ had Trump's back? Good times...good times...

    This court filing demands that all three of Trump's clubs there could lose their liquor license.

    See, apparently they served too much to a guy in 2015 and he drove partway home while drunk. And, because all three are owned by the same person, if one loses a liquor license, they all lose their liquor license. Trump has 30 days, but I'm sure he's too busy running the country and the people he divested can be trusssshahahahaAHAHAHAHAH oh man...almost.

    My favorite part? "You are entitled to have an attorney advise you". Not written: "Because I'm sure your personal attorney has loads of free time now, har har, sarcasm."

    Alburquerque joins the dozen cities asking Trump to pay for the bills his campaign racked up. Over $200,000 this time.

    The Democrats now have the perfect response.

    "We don't need him anymore. All those other witnesses told us enough."

    Basically, all the people who have now come forward and testified means the whistleblower's testimony is now irrelevant. Trump's excuse of "I have the right to face my accuser" is no longer valid.

    I feel like there are two reasons he'd want to know who the guy is:

    1: To put a face on the guy who slandered him so he can retaliate in true, petty trump fashion. Not knowing who ratted him out is eating him because he doesn't have a proper outlet and screaming into the wind only gets him off so much.

    2: By naming the whistle blower, his team can better figure out who told him the info and get a better idea of who might be required to testify later and plan their defenses accordingly

    Maybe that was the case, but it is no longer. Taylor's testimony itself is damning. They have plenty to work with on that alone. And Taylor was just the most recent one.

    Also, I'm giving a 1-in-6 chance it goes like this:

    Trump: "I demand to know who the whistleblower is!"
    Someone Who Has Already Testified: "Ok, I admit it: it was me. And now, you have my testimony on record."
