The Political Thread

Oh Jesus fucking Christ

And a quick search brings up no news stories about this. Even if you click the link provided here it does not provide much info. Basically we have a dem strategist claiming he has heard there is a video.

Honestly, if a rep strategist came out on X and said there is a video of VP Harris doing something sketchy with no proof would you all be going 'oh no this is bad' or would you say lets see some proof.

I am not saying it is not true or it is not possible Trump would do this but shouldn't we get some actual proof instead of believing every story that is coincidently coming to light all at the same time 2 weeks before election?

LA DA to announce decision on Menendez brothers resentencing Thursday

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said he will announce his decision on Thursday regarding the potential resentencing of the Menendez brothers.

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said he will announce his decision on Thursday regarding the potential resentencing of Lyle and Erik Menendez, who are each serving two consecutive life prison terms without parole.

Gascón is holding a news conference at 1:30 p.m. local time.

If Gascón recommends resentencing -- in the wake of pressure from the brothers' relatives, attorneys and supporters in the public -- his decision will then go to a judge to decide whether Lyle and Erik Menendez will be released from prison, receive a lesser sentence or get a new trial.

Gascón told ABC News this month that any recommendation for resentencing would take into account the decades that the brothers already served and their behavior in prison. The brothers' attorney, Mark Geragos, called them model prisoners who worked tirelessly to reform themselves with no expectation they'd be released.

And for those who can't see the tweet:

Spoiler

People there popped for it, because of course they did. Clapping for all the villainous shit, while thinking they can't possibly be the ones who are the actual sheep.

"Yay for terrible dads beating their kids!"

I didn’t watch it all but it sounded sexual. Disgusting.

I refuse to believe this is real.

It’s just a parody.

I refuse to believe this is real.

It’s just a parody.

MAGA Voters: It's AI! Not real!

"I spent campaign funds on a strip club, but not on strippers, there's a difference."

He then accuses the host of being a White Liberal (mind you, Royce allegedly has been publicly against identity politics). The host is Hispanic.

 

[Shane]

So he just looked at them but didn’t touch them. Cool!

 

[Butters]

He thinks white tho

 

[Butters]

Also, i have never been to a strip club that has food and that sounds disgusting

For context, this is the GOP's Senatorial candidate for Minnesota, who is going up against Amy Klobuchar.

Royce White was also a former basketball player who claimed to be afraid of flying which is why his NBA career failed. He also played for the University of Minnesota for a time before getting arrested for stealing from the Mall of America, then transferred to Iowa State.

He also hates women, calling them "too mouthy" and has on multiple occasions refused to pay for childcare.

So yeah, a real winner for the Republican party.

I just read about this guy and it sounds like he needs the inside of a looney bin instead of being involved in politics

WASHINGTON (AP) — The owner and manager of the cargo ship that caused the Baltimore bridge collapse have agreed to pay more than $100 million to settle a lawsuit brought by the Justice Department, officials said Thursday.

The settlement comes a month after the Justice Department sued Dali owner Grace Ocean Private Ltd. and manager Synergy Marine Group, both of Singapore, seeking to recover funds the government spent to clear the underwater debris and reopen the city’s port, which was closed to most maritime traffic for months after the deadly collapse.
