I'm sorry for ruining the one tiny positive thing you thought you'd found.

From your article:

Houston criminal court records show that case was unresolved when Taake – out on $20,000 bail – participated in the attack on the US Capitol. According to the Chronicle, local prosecutors confirmed Friday that Taake was now considered a wanted fugitive in connection with the pending charge of solicitation of a minor. But Houston jail records showed he was not in custody as of three days later.

Attempts to contact Taake were not immediately successful. And his attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

So I guess he did get out? And now he's a fugitive.. Why didn't they check this shit before they let him out?

Edit: clarity.

I think so. At least the third one I heard about. One was arrested on gun charges? The other was shot during a traffic stop. And now this.

Trump is obviously not sending his best.

I was reading the BBC live updates of the 'briefing' where Trump 'answered questions.' Starts at 17:21 if you scroll down.

Of course he blames it on DEI hires. He also blamed the helicopter and later said it was because of 'practicing.'

Why does he think it's DEI hires, you ask? Well, Trump answered, and I quote: "Because I have common sense, and unfortunately a lot of people don't."

What the actual fuck. Donald "I have common sense" fucking Trump. Lmfao.

Yes, and while you are absolutely correct, let's also not forget that the early victims consisted not just of sexual deviants, but also of journalists, teachers, scientists, artists, etc. Basically any kind of intellectual, anyone who could threaten the propaganda machine. And political opponents, of course. Oh and books. Don't forget books. And disabled people.

Let's see. Who is Trump attacking? Transgender people? Check. Teachers? Check. Scientists? Check. Political opponents? Check Intellectuals in general? Check. Anti-intellectualism has been going strong for a while now of course. Books (information in general)? Check. Librarians? Check. Disabled people? Not sure about this one.

Trump and his cronies have watched a few WW2 documentaries and thought they were blueprints. His racism/bigotry might have a different prime target, but the whole playbook is a copy.

Regulators Say It’s Dangerous.

Not for long, they won't, because they won't be allowed to.

I am completely shocked by this unexpected turn of events. He lied? How is this possible? I always thought fascists were the paragons of truth.

Don't forget Jim Crow. The Nazis got a lot of their segregation and eugenics crap from the U.S.

I can't believe it. His followers have been telling me that he only wants to deport illegal immigrants! I'm shocked at this totally unexpected rhetoric!

The same kind of people as those who argue that allowing gay people to marry would somehow devalue their own marriage. Like, dude, if your marriage is influenced by other people getting married, you have bigger problems.

I never understood any of it. Racism, homophobia, any bigotry really. Like.. seriously who cares? I don't give a fuck who you love, who you fuck, what color your skin is, where you were born, or what you have between your legs. None of it affects me at all. Live and let live. Treat me like a human, I'll do the same for you. As long as everyone is a consenting adult, people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want, as long as nobody gets hurt (unless they want to, of course!).

Sometimes I think only miserable people are bigots. Someone who is truly happy with themselves doesn't have to put time and effort into hating people for being born the way they are, just to feel superior or something.

Yeah, we got a nice chuckle out of it too!

Oh no, of course not. Fucking Zionists.

What I meant was that it should be a surprise to no one that Trump says these things. He's been letting the world know who he is for a long time. You're right, no more dog whistles, but not exactly a surprise either.
