All that they are interested in is "owning the libs" and gaining power at any cost. If it means the destruction of democracy and allying themselves with people like Putin, so be it.

Before the 1950's the GOP was the moderate, humane party, and friend to minorities. During the Kennedy era, the two parties switched allegiances and policies with the mutation becoming complete with the arrival of Ronald Reagan.

Garland's reputation is that he is brilliant, but methodical and Trump is a very big fish that he is trying to land. Trump will have the best lawyers that money can buy, so the case against him has to be airtight. Moreover, having Trump and his abettors in the docket just before and during the pending mid-term elections would not harm the Democrats' election chances at all. It ought to be quite a spectacle.

Tracker Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Top Florida faith adviser dismissed after sexual assault history revealed A member of the Florida Governor’s Faith and Community-Based Initiative was recently dismissed from his role as a deacon of Clearwater’s Calvary Church after it was revealed he had a history of sexual misconduct when he was a teacher. Rev. Willy Rice told his congregation in a video that the deacon was stepping down over a past that involved “sexual sin that could also be described as abusive,” Religion News Service reports. “It did not involve criminal charges, and he has never been identified by law as a sexual offender,” Rice also said. “Religion News Service has confirmed that the former deacon is Jeff Ford, the executive director of Man Up and Go, a Christian nonprofit in the U.S. and overseas whose Authentic Masculinity Program ‘teaches men how to be protectors of and providers for their families,’ according to the biography of Ford posted on the website of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. According to that website, Ford is a member of the state’s Faith-Based and Community-Based Advisory Council.” In 2005, the Tampa Bay Times newspaper reported that Jeffrey Charles Ford, a 27-year-old coach and teacher at J.W. Mitchell High School, resigned after admitting to having sex with an 18-year-old student. Ford’s bio on the Florida Governor’s website calls Man Up and Go “a global non-profit organization that inspires men to fight for the fatherless as Jesus commands. The organization aims to break the cycle of generational fatherlessness,” and operates “in Uganda, Ethiopia, and the Dominican Republic.” https://www.alternet.org/2022/04/top-florida-faith-adviser-dismissed/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 (The Troglodytes are in power in Oklahoma) Oklahoma House Sends Aggressive Abortion Ban To Governor OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma House gave final legislative approval on Tuesday to a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. With little discussion and no debate, the Republican-controlled House voted 70-14 to send the bill to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has previously said he’d sign any anti-abortion bill that comes to his desk. The bill is one of several anti-abortion measures still alive in Oklahoma’s Legislature this year, part of a trend of GOP-led states passing aggressive anti-abortion legislation as the conservative U.S. Supreme Court is considering ratcheting back abortion rights that have been in place for nearly 50 years. The Oklahoma bill, which passed the Senate last year, makes an exception only for an abortion performed to save the life of the mother, said GOP state Rep. Jim Olsen, of Roland, who sponsored the bill. Under the bill, a person convicted of performing an abortion would face up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine. “The penalties are for the doctor, not for the woman,” Olsen said. Similar anti-abortion bills approved by the Oklahoma Legislature in recent years have been stopped by the courts as unconstitutional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Condemned For One Of Her Vilest Tweets Yet The extremist Republican's attack on three colleagues was beyond the pale to many critics on Twitter. Conspiracy theory-endorsing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) faced fierce backlash on Monday for a vile attack on three fellow Republicans. Greene used her congressional account to tweet the baseless accusation that GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine) and Mitt Romney (Utah) are “pro-pedophile” because they said will vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. During Jackson’s Senate confirmation hearings, GOP lawmakers falsely accused Brown of being lenient in cases involving photos of child sexual abuse. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/marjorie-taylor-greene-republicans-vile-tweet_n_624bf8e4e4b0d8266ab091dd Edited April 5, 2022 by Tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 And in other US-politic related news, the nutbar segment of the GOP is attacking Disney for opposing Florida's "Don't say gay" policies, as well as attacking Oreo for displaying diversity in advertising, and apparently the current nominee for the SCOTUS for being (in their eyes) pro-pedophilia. Crazier and crazier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) The Accused at the Nuremberg trials did have lawyers. "Former Nazis were allowed to serve as counsel[48] and by mid-November all defendants had lawyers. The defendants' lawyers jointly appealed to the court, claiming it did not have jurisdiction against the accused, but this motion was rejected." the right to be represented is fundamental to a fair trial, one of the most important FrEEeDomS. not that those idiots have any understanding of that. taking the people we do not like outside and shooting them is not the way to go.
