Magnets-How Do They Work?

 

Trump: All I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets pic.twitter.com/TopK4BRsOq

Look, just take a kitchen magnet and get it wet.  It will still work. I don't know what he thinks will happen.  I don't know where this thing came from. Anyway, he thinks gas sells for $8 a gallon. He has said people need to show their ID to buy groceries. He doesn't know how things work, which is why he also says things like he was going to sell US oil and gas to Europe to pay the national debt.  He has a real problem with windmills. He just kind of thinks everyone else also does not know how things work and will also think what he is saying is great and smart. 

He still seems to not know how bills become laws or what branch of government does what or how he got indicted four times. It's very concerning.

Judge Chutkan and Jack Smith were recently swatted. It's really hard for me to reconcile going out of one's way to terrorize people to try and get one's favored candidate for office clear of a lot of very serious charges with that person also being a transparent idiot.

I tried to find the thread where the above comment came from or to sort out whether it was a not-particularly funny parody of ultra-MAGA thought, but deep down, I have a feeling this is where some of Trump's followers really are: they may know perfectly well he lost 2020, they may know he incited an insurrection, they may completely be aware that he had taken top secret documents for which he had no good purpose (and a lot of bad ones), and he may even be a rapist--and he's still their guy. 

I know this because when asked in man-in-the-street interviews whether there's anything Trump could do to lose their support, you can see the little tumblers flipping behind their eyes and no combination matches rejection. Even though a poll in summer of last year showed that over half of Republicans might balk if Trump was in prison, Fox News Propagandists are going after normalizing convict candidates.

This is the real definition of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" in action: the literal cultists who would watch him shoot a man on 5th Avenue and declare it was good thing he did, and he should have immunity for it, anyway.

How many people are ACTUALLY this cultish, vs. how many are just saying they are? 

It totally beats me--and I guess that's the disturbing part. Just how big is that "basket of deplorables" anyway?

Two-Tiered Justice System Stuff

 

They are different people. They did different things. Of course they aren't being treated the same. You could explain it to a five year old. https://t.co/MZDuZgNbaq

Josh Hawley, who is a US Senator and not some dumb guy on a barstool in Shithouse Falls, MO (does he even live in Missouri?) is going to pretend that Hunter Biden is being treated with the softest of kid gloves while poor, poor, mistreated waif Donald Fucking Trump, a goddamn billionaire who actually was president once (hopefully never again) and was supposed to be Mister Manly Alpha Male personified, is the most persecuted forlorn little disregarded pumpkin in the whole pumpkin patch. 

A pumpkin who apparently did felonies. Not misdemeanors. Felonies. 

Call me slow on the uptake. I wondered at the idea of a two-tiered justice system from the real perspective of the poor and minority persons in this country getting the short end of the stick regarding charging and sentencing alike. It didn't naturally occur to me that what Republicans were getting at is that they thought Democrats were just forever getting off with light sentences or whatever and somehow, SOMEHOW!!!! Republicans were just being charged left and right and for no reason, and especially poor, sad, elderly, possibly addle-pated Mr. Trump. a man bereft of opportunities to defend himself, barely capable of funding a legal team on his own, who has to struggle to fight his multiple felony charges in different venues. 

The justice system's discrimination against blue-eyed blond billionaires is notorious, no? 

No? Isn't there a history of the DOJ just fucking with Republicans until the sun don't shine?

Not especially.
