Rep. Louie Gohmert went on Newsmax to do an interview. When asked about the indictment of Peter Navarro, this is what he said: "REP. LOUIE GOHMERT: It actually puts an exclamation point on the fact that we have a two-tier justice system. If you're a Republican, you can't even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they're coming after you. Or they’re going to bury you. They’re gonna put you in the D.C. jail and terrorize and torture you, and not live up to the Constitution there." Imagine that. You lie to Congress or the FBI and you don't even expect to be prosecuted for it...BECAUSE YOU'RE A REPUBLICAN!!! He calls the law of the land, that applies equally to everyone, a two-tier justice system. He's a bigger idiot than the psychopath.

Deny, deflect, mislead, lie, rinse, repeat.

And they broke up. She lives with her twin sister, now.

Yes, there are premium topics for that purpose, but that wasn't a premium topic you posted in.

LMAO. LOVE the description. I hope someone will fill in some details for us. Thanks for the laugh.

There's something I don't understand, and I'm hoping someone will explain what happened. Masha was seeing this guy steadily, IDK his name, or if he even had one. He seemed to stay there quite regularly and looked to be her BF. Then, out of the clear blue, Sam appears in the picture and, seemingly overnight, is living there as a participant, BF, sex partner, and the other guy is gone. At least I haven't seen him recently. Would someone please explain what, why and how this all took place. Thanks.

No, he used CC's attachment feature, instead of a 3rd-party host. You can't use attachments with RLC files. CC will get in big trouble. @Max Ragnaryou need to use a 3rd-party host service, like mab.to or zupimages.net to post your RLC files.

You can post it right here.

Typical right-wing tactic, always changing the subject. Deflect, deny, defame, mislead, lie, etc. Nowhere did it say those criminals were Democrats. More of the same right-wings tactics. Just like the psychopath, you think if you say it, that makes it true.

Pope Francis sends 'powerful message' by elevating liberal bishop over archbishop who banned Pelosi from communion Pope Francis on Sunday sent the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) a clear and strong rebuke by elevating the Bishop of San Diego to Cardinal, just days after the Archbishop of San Francisco’s repeated and very public attack against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone ten days ago banned Speaker Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion, one of the Catholic Church’s sacred sacraments, despite the Vatican’s and the Pope’s insistence the Eucharist not be politicized. Cordileone says he did so because of her pro-choice stance on abortion. But as Pelosi remarked, the Catholic Church has never banned anyone from communion for supporting the death penalty. Not only did Cordileone, a right-wing activist who has refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19, ban Speaker Pelosi from taking communion, he did so extremely publicly. Cordileone went as far as to post his letter to Pelosi on Twitter, calling her stance on abortion a “most serious scandal,” and a “grave evil.” He then appeared on EWTN, a Catholic news cable network to defend his decision, and even posted that interview on social media. Seven days after his very public rebuke of Pelosi, he again chastised her on Twitter, writing that she “has strong opinions on what the Church teaches but she is wrong. And that is part of why I had to act.” Pope Francis has made clear no one should be banned from communion, certainly not for political reasons. “What must the pastor do?” Pope Francis said last year, The New York Times noted when a reporter asked him about another Catholic, President Joe Biden and his stance on abortion. “Be a pastor, don’t go condemning. Be a pastor, because he is a pastor also for the excommunicated.” “I have never refused the eucharist to anyone,” Pope Francis also told reporters. On Sunday, in that apparent strong rebuke against Cordileone, Pope Francis announced he is elevating a lower-ranking bishop, progressive Robert McElroy of San Diego, to Cardinal, a position over Cordileone’s. “The choice of Bishop McElroy is the biggest surprise of this consistory [the council of cardinals] for the church in the United States,” reports the Jesuit publication America. “A graduate of Harvard, Stanford and the Pontifical Gregorian University, Bishop McElroy has demonstrated that he is one of the strongest supporters of the pope’s vision of church among the American bishops since Francis appointed him to be bishop of San Diego in March 2015. By choosing him to be a cardinal, instead of others, Pope Francis is sending a powerful message to the American bishops and church.” In reporting McElroy’s elevation, The San Francisco Chronicle adds that Cordileone has engaged in a “very public campaign against Pelosi and abortion rights as a whole — in October, he started digital and radio ads urging Catholics to pray to change the minds of Pelosi and other politicians who support abortion rights.” One year ago this month Bishop McElroy wrote in America, “The Eucharist is being weaponized for political ends. This must not happen.” He added: “The proposal to exclude pro-choice Catholic political leaders from the Eucharist will bring tremendously destructive consequences.”

Donald Trump’s 2016 election conspiracy theory just took a big hit For years – literally – Donald Trump has insisted that Hillary Clinton engaged in a purposeful conspiracy designed to keep him out of the White House. The probe into whether Russia sought to influence the 2016 election (it did) and whether it colluded with the Trump campaign to do so was regularly described by the former President as “the single greatest Witch Hunt in American history.” The real story, according to Trump, was how the counterintelligence investigation into Russia began – a story that special counsel John Durham was going to get to the bottom of. At the heart of what Trump called the “crime of the century” was an allegation by Durham that Michael Sussman, a lawyer for Clinton’s campaign, had lied to the FBI about his own interests in passing along a tip about Trump and Russia. On Tuesday, Sussman was found not guilty of the lying charge by a federal jury. As CNN wrote: “The verdict is a major defeat for Durham and his Justice Department prosecutors, who have spent three years looking for wrongdoing in the Trump-Russia probe.” It remains to be seen when Durham will conclude his probe and whether he will bring charges against anyone else. But what is clear is that the Sussman allegation, which was by far the most high-profile output of Durham’s probe to date, amounts to a huge swing and a miss by the special counsel. The Point: It’s always been hard to line up Trump’s wild claims about the seriousness of the Durham investigation with its output. Never has that disparity been more stark than today

It's not his fault the site was insecure.

Not even you could possibly believe that. The Democrats are the only ones trying to actually do something about gun control and gun culture in this country. All the Republicans can do is say, oh, the problem is not guns, the problem is doors. My hand to God, both Abbott and the psychopath said that. Republicans only seem to want to encourage more shootings and murders, as long as it's not them or the elite who fund them getting shot.

Spy, of course, you meant this as a slur against Democrats, but this one backfired on you because it just shows the complete and utter stupidity of Republicans, the GOP, the right, the far right, magamites, conservatives and, of course, the psychopath.

The cost of Trump’s chaos just keeps accumulating An essay adapted from the book, “The Cost of Chaos: The Trump Administration and the World”, by Peter Bergen. The worst deals So many of Trump’s actions as commander in chief were spectacular failures. The seizure of Afghanistan by the Taliban last year was one of Trump’s most disastrous foreign policy legacies. Biden certainly deserves blame for claiming that he was bound by Trump’s 2020 “peace” deal with the Taliban, which really was a “surrender agreement” to the Taliban in the mordant words of H.R. McMaster, Trump’s former national security adviser. And Biden also deserves blame for the botched execution of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan last summer. But it was Trump, not Biden, who had laid the groundwork for the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. In 2018 Trump authorized his secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, to begin negotiations with the Taliban, an effort that was led by US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad. Khalilzad made an agreement with the Taliban that, in exchange for a total US withdrawal from Afghanistan, they would break with al-Qaeda and engage in genuine peace talks with the Afghan government. The Taliban simply ignored those agreements. Trump often asserted he was as a great deal maker, but his administration’s agreement with the Taliban was one of the worst deals in American diplomatic history. The Taliban received everything that they wanted without offering anything substantive in return, other than an agreement not to attack US forces as they withdrew from Afghanistan. Since the Taliban’s main goal in their negotiations with the US was a total American withdrawal, this was an easy concession for the Taliban to make. VIDEO Trump's defense secretary opposed 'precipitous' Afghanistan withdrawal And so it went with many other of Trump’s foreign policy initiatives. He apparently believed that by dint of his personal charm he could persuade the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un, to give up his nuclear weapons. American Presidents going back to Bill Clinton had tried to persuade the nuclear-armed hermit state to rein in its nuclear weapons program, and all of them had failed. While he was President, Trump met with Kim three times, first in Singapore in 2018, a year later in Hanoi and then at the border between North and South Korea. Those meetings generated intense media frenzies and gave Kim and the US President equal billing on the world stage, which was a huge coup for the dictator of a country whose GDP was around the size of the state of Vermont. At the Singapore meeting, Trump unilaterally gave a key concession to Kim – canceling joint US-South Korea military exercises, which were a longtime cornerstone of containing the North Korean rogue state – and got nothing in return. Trump and Kim also exchanged 27 letters, some of which had the ardent tone of suitors writing each other. Trump publicly described the missives as “love letters.” Yet, these summits and exchanges of letters yielded nothing. While Trump was in office the North Koreans continued producing fissile material and tested short range ballistic missiles in contravention of UN Security Council prohibitions. They also developed hard-to-detect submarine-launched missiles. Trump’s efforts to constrain North Korea’s nuclear program failed, while his erratic diplomacy encouraged Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Trump regularly castigated Obama’s 2015 nuclear agreement with the Iranians as the “worst deal ever.” But unlike Trump’s peace agreement with the Taliban, the Iranians were observing their end of the nuclear deal. Trump’s own intelligence agencies concluded that the Iranians were adhering to the terms of the 2015 deal. Yet, Trump was determined to get out of Obama’s Iran agreement, which he did in 2018. Opinion: It's time Russia and NATO stop playing games with nuclear war As a result, by the time Trump left office in January 2021, the Iranians were planning to enrich uranium up to 20% purity, far above the 4% purity agreed to in their deal with the Obama administration, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. While this was well short of the 90% purity needed for a nuclear bomb, the Iranian nuclear program took a large step forward as a result of Trump’s ham-handed approach to the Iranians. Undermining NATO Throughout his presidency, Trump embraced Putin, while regularly taking pot shots at key American allies such as the British, French and Germans. What was the strategic benefit to the US of all this geopolitical trumpery? It was never clear, although it was certainly a key aim of Putin’s to weaken the NATO alliance, which Trump’s own Defense Secretary, Jim Mattis, described as the most successful alliance in modern history. The importance of that alliance was underlined when Russia invaded Ukraine in February. The Ukrainian military, trained by NATO advisers, imposed huge costs on the Russian invaders, and the Biden administration together with its NATO allies transferred large numbers of anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons to the Ukrainians. Undermining democracy Trump’s affinity with dictators overseas – a key part of his foreign policy – dovetailed with his attempts to undermine democratic processes and norms at home, best exemplified by his continued refusal to accede to the will of the people in the 2020 presidential election and his support for his followers, who stormed the US Capitol days before Biden’s inauguration. Trump’s antidemocratic stance – which he still promotes with the “Big Lie” conspiracy theory – has poisoned American politics. Opinion: Georgia signals that Trump's days playing kingmaker are over In part because of Trump’s anti-democratic tendencies, during his presidency current and former senior military leaders issued more than 250 public statements that were critical of Trump’s leadership, according to a tally by New America, the research institution where I serve as a vice president. This was unprecedented, as military leaders, both those in uniform and in retirement, generally stay out of politics. Following the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020, Trump threatened to send the federal military to quell the unrest that was roiling American cities. On a call about the protests with the nation’s governors on June 1, Trump told them, “If you don’t dominate, you’re wasting your time. They’re going to run all over you, you’ll look like a bunch of jerks.” Later that evening protesters gathered outside the White House and were met with violence when Trump walked to St. John’s Episcopal Church wielding a Bible, which resulted in a now-infamous photo op. Mattis broke his long silence about Trump, issuing a blistering statement: “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people – does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort.” The events of January 6, 2021, further turned the leaders of the US military against Trump. On that day a crowd of many thousands of his supporters gathered outside the White House – some wearing body armor and many wearing quasi-military outfits. To the assembled crowd Trump spouted a geyser of baseless conspiracy theories about his loss in the presidential election. Trump then urged them to go to the Capitol. A mob then assaulted the building. That evening, Trump was unrepentant about the mayhem he had helped to foment, tweeting: “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!” This tweet was later deleted. Twitter then suspended Trump from its platform. VIDEO The service chiefs of all the branches of the military – led by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Mark Milley – took the extraordinary measure of sending a joint letter to the 2 million members of the active-duty, National Guard and Reserve units of the US military decrying the insurrection and confirming that “President-elect Biden will be inaugurated and will become our 46th Commander in Chief.” The message was clear: The US military would not be assisting Trump in any of his efforts to mount a coup against the Constitution they had sworn an oath to serve. The assault on the Capitol triggered Trump’s second impeachment trial. He was once again acquitted by the Senate, but he now had the distinction of being the only American President to be impeached twice. The Covid disaster It was, above all, in his mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic that Trump revealed his many weaknesses as a leader. First, he never did any homework, meaning his understanding of complex issues, such as how best to mitigate a pandemic, was always cartoonish. Related to Trump’s first failing was his second: He always believed he knew more than the experts about any given subject. Third, Trump always trusted his own gut. This was not likely to produce relevant knowledge or coherent policy. And it didn’t. Trump had a lot to say publicly about the coronavirus, a great deal of it misleading or simply false, and he also modeled and even encouraged irresponsible behavior. Before effective vaccines, there were two tools that worked to stop the spread of the virus; they were social distancing and wearing a mask in public. Trump denigrated mask-wearing and he also hosted events at the White House with large numbers of attendees socializing without masks, such as the celebration of Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court on October 26, 2020. VIDEO 'Not much': Trump asked what he'd do differently on Covid-19 response As Americans first became aware of the threat from the coronavirus, Trump said on February 26, 2020, that cases of the virus would go down to zero “within a couple of days.” He also wrongfully claimed that the coronavirus was no more dangerous than the seasonal flu. In the first phase of the pandemic, the federal government abdicated its role by not issuing a national shutdown order and a mandate to wear masks. In late April 2020, Trump suggested that injecting bleach might prove to be a treatment for the virus. A month later Trump said that hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug, was likely a “game changer.” In June 2020, the FDA revoked “emergency use” of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19 patients because it could cause heart problems. Even when Trump had the chance to make a public statement that really might have made a difference to the scope of the pandemic, he failed to do so. He and his wife, Melania Trump, were vaccinated at the White House during the closing days of his presidency. Any leader with the slightest regard for his own people would have allowed the media to cover this event, especially given the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy in the country. Trump chose instead to be vaccinated in secret. His weak leadership produced grave results: More than 400,000 Americans died from Covid-19 during Trump’s final year in office, which was more than the death toll of all the Americans who had died in wars going back to World War II. Many of those deaths could have been avoided with better leadership; Covid mortality in the US was 40% higher than the average of other advanced nations such as Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, according to a report from the medical journal The Lancet. Dr. Deborah Birx, Trump’s coronavirus response coordinator, told a congressional committee in October that “we probably could have decreased fatalities into the 30-percent-less to 40-percent-less range.” The first duty of the commander in chief is the protection of US citizens, and Trump clearly was derelict in this duty. In short, Trump was the most incompetent President in modern American history.
