Salute Jon Stewart. Salute, sir.

Sarah Sanders is leaving her job as press secretary at the end of the month, reported by plenty of news stations and confirmed by Trump on Twitter.

Kinda wonder if they're even gonna hire another one since they've only been doing like one press briefing every few months for a little while now.

Bruh, Alex Jones had child pornography pics in his email. How did this happen you ask?



Well, since you asked, allow me to detail the tale of Alex Jones's downfall! He was an idiot that claimed that Sandy Hook was fake you see. Then he got sued for it. During these court proceedings, he was asked to produce all his personal emails. He did, however, his council failed to actually sift through the details for anything incriminating, literally dropping everything in the Plaintiff's lap. The plaintiffs did their due diligence and found child pornography in several of his emails. The plaintiffs contact the FBI and they asked for the whole enchilada. Plaintiffs give them the files. FBI concludes they found multiple child pornography pictures sent to various InfoWars emails. The FBI has not acted upon anything yet, but when Alex Jones found out the FBI was involved, he threw a fit on his show. He had this to say:



Soon afterwards, the Plaintiffs have filed a motion, likely for a gag order to get Jones to shut the fuck up about the case in public. Finally, Jones's lawyers have motioned to halt the proceedings, because he might have a legitimate conflict of interest.


So here we are.

Trump campaign fires pollsters after mixed messaging

WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Donald Trump's internal polling suggested he was trailing Democrats in crucial states earlier this year, it did what any campaign would do: tried to bury the bad numbers.

www.apnews.com

Silly pollsters should have known to skew the numbers But seriously polls this early are so widely inaccurate anyway, it would have been really easy to make the arguments their making now about them being outdated and stuff instead of just saying "They don't exist" and "fake news" Main election polls only start to matter after the primaries and these democratic primary polls ain't even gonna mean shit until like November bc statistics just can't be that accurate until it gets closer towards the elections.

Also s/o to FiveThirtyEight bc I still believe their poll aggregation system is still the most accurate out there even though they were wrong in 2016 having Hillary with a 70%ish chance of winning. But then they bounced back and correctly predicted almost exactly to the amount of seats how much the Democrats were going to win the house and how much the Republicans were going to gain in the senate. I also believe they were ridiculously accurate in the presidential elections for 2012 and maybe 2008 too, but don't quote me on those bc I'm just going off memory there. Also just a side note, they had the Raptors favored over the Warriors before the finals started...but their sports models are way different than their political ones since the sports ones rely on stats and the political ones just rely on all the other polls being taken and aggregated in their own way so they shouldn't really be compared.

Mueller is going to testify before congress in an open session on TV before the judiciary and intel committees, sometime mid July (I'm too lazy to find the story I read earlier). I expect a full scale war with Iran and/or mass deportations like were done in the 60s (which included many LEGAL citizens) leading up to it to try and get the news cycle talking about something else...which they will bc the media sucks

This is, I think, what the American people need. We need to hear everything from the horse's mouth.

Guys that want to see Trump lynched (IDK if you're one of them, so not assuming anything about you personally) need to curb expectations for sure though bc Mueller is going to stick to the report 100% and people need to remember he's still a republican despite what both parties seem to be pushing lmao he just cares about justice more than party loyalty. He'll answer honestly, but not verge from the report most likely so if the democrats ask some of those dumbass open-ended questions that they asked Cohen, they won't get shit out of Mueller. But this should do a better job at getting the contents of the report out in the public eye than Barr's "interpretation" and with so many just listening to what Trump has said about it and not reading the report then that could be nice. I also definitely expect at least one and probably multiple of the republicans to ask "but why didn't you investigate Hillary's emails" multiple times no matter how many times he says that wasn't what he was tasked with doing

So that happened.

So that happened.

I've been told to go back to my country more than a few times.....they failed to see the irony of that.

 

[Deezy]

What a fucking piece of shit.....you want to be fiscally responsilbe now? What about all that funding for that fucking wall? What about all the money spent on Homeland security so you can round brown people and cage children?

You can extend and increase funding for the military but you can't extend funding for the dying heroes who at the worse time in your countries recent history that decided to help out can't get a helping hand when they're suffering.

Fuck this world....it honestly makes me wish the rapture was real.....take this motherfucker to ground zero and impale him with a jagged pole from asshole to his double talking mouth....fake Christian fuck.

The slogan was Never Forget.....except for the ones who were forgotten by their own government.

 

[Swamps]

So that happened.

Want me to post YoungRippa too?

 

[Deezy]

Want me to post YoungRippa too?

LOL this same shit is used to tell me that the Washington football teams name isn't racist......naw fam, I think it is.....and alot of minorities think women of color being told to go back to where you came from think what Trump said was racist.

They get to feel their own way.

- Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position.

- An argument from authority (argumentum ab auctoritate), also called an appeal to authority, or argumentum ad verecundiam, is a form of defeasible argument in which a claimed authority's support is used as evidence for an argument's conclusion.

- Bulverism is a logical fallacy. The method of Bulverism is to "assume that your opponent is wrong, and explain his error." The Bulverist assumes a speaker's argument is invalid or false and then explains why the speaker came to make that mistake, attacking the speaker or the speaker's motive.

Also possibly a case of

- Kettle logic (la logique du chaudron in the original French) is a rhetorical device wherein one uses multiple arguments to defend a point, but the arguments are inconsistent with each other.
