    I’ve heard conservatives say “Banana Republic” like 30 times since yesterday, and not once did they talk about fruit companies taking over the government of a South American country and influencing it. Literally, they’re so stupid.

      Fruit companies didn’t take over these countries, it was the US military that did and handed control to the fruit companies that were based in the US.

    The weirdest clip was of dune woman rambling and sobbing about Trump in what is known as “religious ecstasy,” a phenomenon that is exactly as unsettling and gross as it sounds.

    Germanotta, a Manhattan resident of 25 years, said […] “You’ve got to understand that there are millions of Americans that don’t register their guns, me being one of them. […]"

    See that? That’s admitting to committing a felony. In NYC, you MUST register each and every firearm. If Germanotta has firearms that she hasn’t registered, that’s a felony.

    This is something you abso-fucking-lutely do not ever say in public.

    If you need any proof that this is not going to erupt into Boogaloo 2 or whatever the hell they call it, it’s these chucklefucks.

    gasp

    Not… a BREAST!

    clutches pearls with white knuckles then faints

    This is in New York City, I thought that was commonplace now.

    Juliet Germanotta took out her bare breast and shoved it in the Trump critic’s face.

    Germanotta, a Manhattan resident of 25 years,…

    My Brain - At least it is probably a hot young titty. (Rereads it) wait never mind.

    -Brain has left the chat.

    l’d be kind of curious if the people protesting are specifically of the opinion that he’s innocent of the fraud charges, are protesting some kind of other charges against him, or think that he’s guilty but don’t care about that and are just objecting to selective enforcement of the law or something.

    Or if they don’t really have a very clear picture of what the legal situation with him is.

    I mean, this didn’t have anything to do with the election, which I would think is what most people would care about. This is out of his private life.

      He committed fraud (falsifying business records to pay Cohen) in furtherance of election interference (Killing multiple stories that would have been detrimental to his campaign (Pecker explicitly states this as the reason), and then hiding the payments is a kind of campaign contribution which was not disclosed) crimes. So yes, it actually does have something to do with the election. Just the 2016 election. It was rigged. Because he tried to rig it.

      I may be high on parentheticals.
