Just caught up on last night's Rachel. Turns out we did miss a bombshell yesterday after all.

Looks like Trump laundered a couple hundred million in 2012 between a corrupt bank in Kazakhstan and a farse of a real estate deal in Georgia. He was personally paid $1 million for his troubles. You can guess which country oversaw it.

Trump's lawyer (the Christian hack one) claimed this particular deal is off limits to Mueller. He said "Georgia is not Russia."

Trump's Business of Corruption | No Questions Asked

And Rachel at 36:45 for this story and the interview with the author afterwards. There's a great segment on the KKK and Nazi stuff at the beginning.

Sorry about the audio sync. Sucks.

Can you even imagine if Obama said "but what about _____" following a terrorist attack? Holy ****.

This guy (the dumb conspiracy theorist) is in the news again: Organizers of free speech protest at Google locations cancel over "credible Alt Left terrorist threats" (and totally not because nobody has the patience for their bull**** after Charlottesville)

lmao this attention whore heard Trump's comments yesterday and wanted to capitalize on them and legitimize them

The difference between Jefferson and Lee is that Jefferson did historically significant things that were good and worthy of honor.

A look at the "alt-left" and the committers of political violence

Quote:

White nationalists; militia movements; anti-Muslim attackers; I.R.S. building and abortion clinic bombers; and other right-wing groups were responsible for 12 times as many fatalities and 36 times as many injuries as communists; socialists; animal rights and environmental activists; anti-white- and Black Lives Matter-inspired attackers; and other left-wing groups.

Of the nearly 1,500 individuals in a University of Maryland study of radicalization from 1948 to 2013, 43 percent espoused far-right ideologies, compared to 21 percent for the far left. Far-right individuals were more likely to commit violence against people, while those on the far left were more likely to commit property damage.

Cue Cotton Hill: "but when can we talk about the store windows in Berkeley?"

You would think this point is obvious to most people, but who knows what is obvious anymore. Lee's claim to fame is leading a war against the United States in an effort to preserve slavery. Jefferson was one of a handful of people responsible for the existence of this country. While he owned slaves, that is not why he is celebrated.

The concern over property is mystifying, especially miniscule costs for giant corporations. Some people in this forum, liberals, were applauding the arrest of Jill Stein for spray painting a bulldozer at standing rock.

I kept reading in this link and got to this gem about Peter Thiel:

Quote:

As part of his commitment to Pyrrhonian skepticism, when all of his Silicon Valley friends were saying that Donald Trump was incompetent and likely to be a disaster as president, Thiel became a Trump supporter. And now Thiel has been telling people that Trump is "incompetent" and that "there is a 50% chance this whole thing ends in disaster."

Hahahahaha wow, amazing!!! Where is Subfallen to comment on this GENIUS and WINNING from Thiel?

While I'm not a huge fan of people being arrested for minor ****, Jill Stein is awful and I would cheer her being arrested just because it's her.

There's another good segment with Jon Huntsman's daughter where both opposing sides guests agreed that Trump is trash and she legit didn't know how to handle it.

Then the night crew (Carlson, Hannity) got to work and completely normalized it all.
