Mmmm thats not a good analogy... Non-consensual sexual interaction is quite different from "i didn't vote for him"

[@ChrisTopherBunnell]

@@sivansharma5027 I was raped in 2005, deployed on the #USSPrinceton to the Iraq War, and covered up with a bad paper discharge when I attempted to report it. I am one of an estimated 26,000 sexual assault victims in the military when there was 238 convictions in military courts. When Trump was asked about this disgusting problem in our military his response was "What did these geniuses expect when they put men and women together in the military?" This completely ignores the fact that since the vast majority of the military is male, the majority of victims are male, assaulted by other males. (btw, most male victims are not gay). I attempted suicide in 2009 and survived with a traumatic brain injury in the frontal lobe, greatly complicating the PTSD I have from my assault and subsequent family estrangement. Obama restored my VA access in 2013, allowing all veterans with PTSD to access VA mental health treatment, regardless of discharge characteristic #ThanksObama Biden took investigation and prosecution of sexual assault and other violent felonies, out of the hands of commanding officers, assigning it to a separate, unbiased agency. #ThanksBiden Biden made it possible for me to get my discharge upgraded when he changed the standards for the Discharge Review Board. #ThanksBiden

@@sivansharma5027 Trump's neglect of covid killed three of my family members and our economy. He threw Obama's Pandemic Action Plan in the garbage. #ThanksObama for trying to prepare your successor, even if he was too belligerent to take your advice after you successfully protected us from Swine Flu (H1N1), Ebola, and Zika.

[@ChrisTopherBunnell]

@@sivansharma5027 My father is a Trump supporter, Obama and Biden hater, a E-8 veteran a bigoted #SanAntonioPD pig, victim-blamed me for my injustice/mental illness, and has not spoken to me in over a decade. When he found out I was in contact with his mother, he stopped talking to her, 5 years ago. She is 88 years old and has dementia. His brother and I take care of her and everybody else stays away due to our family division. My grandfather has passed away, but he was a O-5 (Captain) served 36 years. My uncle and my grandmother were Trump supporters, but have moved on to other republicans. They respect Biden's executive order regarding sexual assault in the military, but not much else that he has accomplished. They are privileged. My uncle owns 4 houses valued over a million each. My grandmother has a Captain's wife's nest egg to live on. It looks like I may hijack my father's inheritance. If so, cool, but I'm not interested in the money. I am happy to have people from my family that support me. The majority have cultishly turned their backs in disgust. I am grateful to have this time with my grandmother before she passes, even if it requires a lot of patience (dementia). My father's bigotry with politics and life, has cost him the relationships of his mother, brother, son, and who knows who else, I'm getting my information through a fractured grapevine.

Some fun trivia surrounding the word "trumpery" : -Nonsense; twaddle. -Of little or no value; trifling, worthless; rubbishy; trashy. -Attractive articles of little value or use. -Practices or beliefs that are superficially or visually appealing but have little real value or worth. -Showy but worthless. -Delusive or shallow. "Trumpery derives from the Middle English trompery and ultimately from the Middle French tromper, meaning "to deceive." Trumpery first appeared in English in the mid-15th century with the meanings "deceit or fraud" (a sense that is now obsolete) and "worthless nonsense." Less than 100 years later, it was being applied to material objects of little or no value. The verb phrase trump up means "to concoct with the intent to deceive"." *- All of the above is taken from the Merriam Webster Dictionary* While the word "trump", means *fart* in English slang.

Tanya McDowell didn't _'send her son to the wrong school district'._ She falsified a residence, but more specifically, it was considered felony larceny as it took more than $15,000 in funds from the Norwalk School District to pay for her son to attend that was not from that district. That charge 'stunk' to me as she was just trying to get her son in school at a time she didn't have an address, according to her. That was in April, 2011. That would not have gotten her jail time, probably probation and a fine with a reduced charge given the circumstances. *That was not what got her 5 years.* She was arrested and charged two months later for *offering drugs and prostitutes to undercover police officers multiple times,* including once in May leaving her son's birthday party to sell crack. Plus she was arrested in Nov., 2010 prior to the school thing for being in possession of marijuana and crack cocaine. McDowell was charged with seven counts in total, including the 'over-charged' felony larceny. McDowell also had a previous record of bank robbery and weapons crimes that got her 18 months in prison a decade earlier.

Trump disregarding everything after "No" --- spit my drink out laughing!!!

[@yvonnemoore7588]

😂

[@Jartran72]

That joke does not work. It is disregarding the no and basing your actions on the wilful disregard of the victims wishes that is the problem. What is there to disregard but the no?

[@johnsmithe4656]

​@@Jartran72 What the hell are you talking about? It's not a joke. That's what happened. Trump was only supposed to answer "yes" or "no" -- The judge said to disregard everything _after_ the "yes" or "no" because Trump was rambling like the geriatric narcissist he is -- what can you possibly be confused about?

[@SimonFrack]

@@johnsmithe4656The joke is about the assault. It doesn’t quite work because Trump disregarded the word “No”, not everything said after “No”.

Four months in prison is just a slap on the wrist. He should have sentenced to far more for such a treasonous act.

[@Slo-ryde]

Glad you see it as well….for the elites, the justice system is a joke!

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

Not only that, but 4 months in a white collar prison, which is basically a house. What a joke your justice system is

[@OlafPijl]

That’s why Trump should go to jail and not get home confinement in his resort.

[@ACoolKidsProduction]

The four months is just for contempt of Congress while they tried to investigate his role in 1/6. He can still get a separate sentence for his actions that day, and for the fake electors scheme.

[@jondaniel6948]

you're illuminating your general lack of knowledge on the subject if you think Trump is going to spend time behind bars 😅

[@randomstuff-qu7sh]

I think the reason for the economic pessimism is because perception doesn’t care about statistics. My pay gives me less purchasing power now than it did 2 years ago. Corporations are still doing massive layoffs. It still feels like workers are getting a bad deal, even as businesses report record profits.

[@elimgarak7330]

So I'm assuming that the reason that Quattrucci was kicked out of the party was based on their assumption that doing so would allow them to claim that Quattrucci was not there, and perhaps that they could pretend that the picture was taken somewhere and somewhen else? But then it completely backfired when he livestreamed the expulsion? And so we should be laughing even harder?

Some people aren't feeling the vibe because they watch Fox entertainment and believe what they're told ("crime and inflation are out of control" despite statistics showing that isn't true). The rest of us are uneasy because we still have repubes in the House and Senate that are actively trying to destroy the economy and create chaos instead of getting things done, because they believe it will help rump.

[@mikeschmitty4438]

I like coming to Stephen's monologues to get the truth in the news...

[@treybrzezowski3259]

Here's some truth for you then: Joe Biden Bypassed Congress to send another $14 *Billion* to Israel to bomb another hospital full of innocent civilians, leading to the ever-climbing Palestinian Death Toll which as of last Friday was soaring past 22 Thousand. For comparison, the number of victims on October 7th was 1700. Our President is funding a fucking genocide rather than using that money to fix all the problems over here. Homelessness would no longer be a thing if we used that $14 Billion to build houses for everyone.

[@traviscutler9912]

WHY CORPORATE JOE IS SO UNPOPULAR. Joe Biden purposely made student debt relief fail on a technicality as he knew it would be overturned by the supreme Court. That way, he could force young voters to come out to the polls a third time with the carrot and stick hanging over their heads. A $15 minimum wage was completely ignored by a made-up parliamentarian. Joe Biden promised a public healthcare option but now never mentions it. Refugee kids are still dying in detention centers at the border. Biden has given more gas and oil exploration permits than Trump. Joe Biden helped break the back of the railroad workers union. Joe Biden has continued a proxy war against Russia and most importantly unequivocally supports Israel's ethnic cleansing of Gaza which pushes us to the brink of nuclear Armageddon. And on and on and on and on.... These undeniable facts are why the president is so unpopular because the broader electorate understands that he works for corporations, not them. Obviously the Republicans are fascist, but the Democrats through their corporate corrupt complicity are sleepwalking us into this grim future. Sadly, Corporate Joe's sole purpose is to block progressive energy and the DNC is perfectly fine with Trump being president so long as Americans never get universal healthcare. The system works.
