Devoting Oneself to Trump can get you Killed
One of Trump’s deranged followers, Craig Deleeuw Robertson, got himself shot and killed by the FBI in Utah. He had been threatening to kill Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, DA Alvin Bragg, AG Letitia James, AG Merrick Garland, and others for 5 months. He was radicalized online by conspiracy theorists and armed with weapons designed for war in a state that doesn’t require permits to carry guns in public. He, like so many MAGA gun nuts, fantasized about civil war. Other MAGAs calling for civil war will face a similar fate. There isn’t going to be a civil war. Just deranged loners with delusions of grandeur who obsessively watched right wing media, surfed the web, and listened to Trump. Craig Deleeuw Robertson is not the first MAGA lunatic to take on the FBI and lose and he won’t be the last.
Speaking of right wing media, on Fox, Laura Ingraham told her unstable audience that Joe Biden visited the Grand Canyon so he could mine uranium for himself and funnel money back to Kazakhstan. Jesse Watters had a guest on his show who claimed that Joe Biden’s interview on the Weather Channel was done so he could send a secret signal to Hunter Biden’s business partners.
Jack Smith got a search warrant for Trump’s Twitter account back in January so they could trace who drafted tweets from what phone or computer. They’ll also be able to track edits and comments. Trump is claiming that Joe Biden did it which gets his cult followers really worked up.
According to a memo by one of Trump’s attorneys, Kenneth Chesebro, the plan for the Georgia vote dispute was to get it to the appeals court. The circuit justice who presides over Georgia is Clarence Thomas and his wife helped plan the coup.
More fun facts about Clarence Thomas accepting bribes: He drives around in a $267,230 RV on his many days off that was financed at least in part by a wealthy friend in the health care industry and not reported in his financial disclosures. He likes to travel in it to get away from DC and hang out with real people. He’s taken at least 38 destination vacations, flown on 26 private jets, stayed in 2 luxury resorts, taken advantage of 12 VIP passes to pro and college sporting events, and has one standing invite to an exclusive golf club. Who pays for all of this?
Justice Elena Kagan was concerned about the ethical implications of receiving free bagels.
Cops in Kenosha attacked a patron at Applebees while he was holding his baby and having dinner with his family. They dragged him out of the booth and beat him. They were looking for a Black man involved in a hit-and-run, so they grabbed the first one they saw. Three years earlier, cops in Kenosha thanked Kyle Rittenhouse for his help policing the streets. He’s a hero on the right for using his assault rifle to kill 2 BLM protesters and getting away with it.
Louisiana is losing one of the few doctors they have who specializes in pediatric heart conditions. He is leaving the state because the state legislature passed bills aimed at restricting rights for LGBTQ people. He’s gay.
In San Diego, California, one of the local Moms for Liberty checked out all of the books from the local public library that were on display for Pride Month. She made a big deal out of refusing to return them so the community stepped up and purchased several copies of each book she stole. They donated $15,000 collectively which the city matched. All of the money is going towards buying LGBTQ books. The librarian has been creating displays for Pride Month for 10 years and hosts drag queen story hour. San Diego is evolving! It has been a conservative military town with religious roots since forever. It’s turning purple!
In Hawaii, at least 36 people have died in fires in Maui. Some people jumped in the ocean to escape the flames and drowned. Lahaina, once the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom, burned to the ground. The island of Maui is devastated. 11,000 tourists have been evacuated.
187,000 new jobs were created in July. That’s 31 months in a row. Unemployment is the lowest it has been in 50 years.
One year ago, Senate Dems passed the Inflation Reduction Act. The Inflation Reduction Act is lowering costs, driving investments, and creating jobs. Republicans not only didn’t vote for it, they said it would be a disaster. It’s not. Republicans are the disaster.
The Republicans who didn’t vote for the historical Infrastructure law are trying to take credit for it now that it is improving life in their states so the Biden administration put signs up with President Biden’s name on them at hundreds of thousands of sites across the country, letting people know who is making life better for them.
Red states are doing better but people refuse to give Biden any credit. They’re crediting their Republican governors for the improved economy and the new jobs instead. They hate Joe Biden and Democrats so much, and have been indoctrinated with so much Republican bullshit for so long that they’re getting themselves killed.
