The Grand Old Rape Party

Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

In a desperate attempt to raise his poll numbers, and take a stand that the overwhelming majority of Americans agree with, Trump is now claiming he too hates Bill Maher.

yup.

thehandbasket.coRepublicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problemA spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

WELKER: If you were elected, would you vote to repeal some of President Trump's tariffs? MIKE ROGERS: The best way to do this is to talk in and say, 'Can we work this out?' I'm not even in office yet. (That's a no!)

How many deaths should an AI model be allowed to risk before the government can intervene? Under draft legislation circulated by Anthropic, the threshold would be more than 50 projected deaths or $1 billion in damages. Read the full story: www.levernews.com/ai-leader-wa...

levernews.comAI Industry Leader Wants 50 Free KillsDraft artificial intelligence legislation circulated by Anthropic would permit dozens of projected deaths before triggering government intervention.

Don't forget the "let's whine about the White House pushing the video of this exploitable moment out onto the web without our consent" bit from the bishop. "Hey, we're using you - you can't use us!"

Catholic priests: "We don’t rape children anymore." Also Catholic priests: "Let's pose with the most famous child rapist in history."

No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels. In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.

From the guy who's amazed that "dumb" is spelled with a "b," can't say "mutilation," and can't understand "affordability." I'm beginning to think that this guy, maybe, is an idiot.

Trump says Alaska’s ballot is illegal because people don’t know what “incumbent” means

Avery Farman reposted

Americans have a choice. You can vote for Nazism—which is 100% what this is—or you can vote for America. Anyone votes for Nazism should never be forgiven by anyone they love or even anyone they know casually. Voting for Nazism is an unforgivable sin for good reason. It is treachery against America.

Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

...does he think that they qualify as "privileged communications?" "...executive privilege... does not protect materials the disclosure of which would implicate or hinder [WH] decisionmaking..." Does talking about it implicate Trump?

asked if Trump directed him to sue Alaska, Blanche says "I will not talk about communications I have with the president" (So, yes, Trump did)

BASH: What's the crime? AG TODD BLANCHE: What's the crime? Well it depends. There *could* be a crime. But the real wrong here is that Alaskans are gonna be confused. BASH: The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled 4 months ago on this matter

If you’re thinking of buying an Audi, don’t forget that an Audi executive appeared at a Trump rally this weekend to try to boost an American dictatorship. Make your car-buying decision accordingly.

January. December is the "go/no-go" for midpoint FY spending, and you're going to see a lot of companies back away from AI because AI is stuck between the Scylla of "desperate for profit" and the Charybdis of "desperate for growth."

Oh, honey . . . your own mother shipped you off to a reform school (with cute little military costumes) after you were caught throwing rocks into a baby carriage and she realized you were too twisted to deal with.

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

A Catholic nun poses a gotcha question to Vance! I love it! This should be publicized widely to continually expose that little smarmy, sleazy hypocrite. Oh, and, thanks, JD, for, in telling the Pope to mind his own beeswax, you announced that Trump is indeed a godless DICTATOR!

ms.nowOpinion | JD Vance’s remarks to a Catholic nun unraveled the White House’s claims about religious freedomVance has centered his career on his faith. But he has set those teachings aside in his politics.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Me: "Adolf Hitler said in Mein Kampf, 'The Jew works for the destruction of Germany.' You say, 'Muslim mass migration will destroy our country and our way of life.' How are those different sentences? Just change 'Jew' for 'Muslim.' Trump adviser Steve Cortes: "No, they're incredibly different."

It's time for a lot of state Attorneys General to step up and prosecute the Grand Old Rape Party to the fullest extent of the law. Yes, Trump can & likely will abuse his pardon powers to shield everyone he can. No, it won't mean a damned thing if they go to prison for state or local convictions.

When there’s finally an effort to hold these criminals accountable for the crimes they committed, we‘re going to see a lot of pundits wring their hands and say it’s politically motivated and insist we need to turn the page and look forward and a lot of other cliches that dumb assholes like to use.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Remembering the late great actor Raúl Rafael Carlos Juliá y Arcelay, known as #RaulJulia, who passed away this day in 1994. He was particularly beloved for his portrayal of #GomezAddams from #TheAddamsFamily films of the 90s directed by #BarrySonnenfeld

Bill Maher had lunch with Donald Trump again. It’s beyond belief that someone would so willingly sit down for a meal with such a reprehensible piece of shit. But I’m sure Trump had his reasons.

Avery Farman reposted

Actually, Todd Blanche, President Trump has twice stated at campaign rallies that he instructed you to file this suit to help ensure that Dan Sullivan would be reelected. This is one more reason why you are likely to be disbarred after the Disciplinary Committee is acquainted with all the facts.
