That keeps coming up. We're not a democracy.

Wrong. That is total bullshit. Soros was not a collaborator.

I saw these rumors quite a while ago, and when I checked it out, it was false. I think I looked at Snopes back then.

I think the collaboration smear conveniently and coincidently started around the time of the presidential elections in Georgian in 2003 and Ukraine 2004. It was quickly picked up by pseudo-conservatives in the West.

@Mik He’s making a different point.

[Mik]

No, he isn’t.

I guess Frum periodically takes time off from convincing everybody that the GOP is an existential threat, to note that they are dying.

I repeat, Braddock is an idiot.

1. Trumps son-in-law is Jewish, and his daughter converted.
2. Weren't there rumors that Soros was, in his youth, a Nazi collaborator for a while?

There were rumours that Donny-baby liked a golden shower.

HOW DARE YOU, THAT'S NEVER BEEN PROVED!

I gave up on Frum a decade or more ago. The party has moved on from the Bushies.

I also think the blue migration is going to be interesting. Do states turn purple or are the immigrants primarily conservative?

[George K]

High speed chase underway.

[Mik]

On that note

[Copper]

I have a nephew who had that same license plate on his Bronco - in Massachusetts.

@kluurs lol

There’s some truth to that, and it also highlights the self-pitying nature of the fat man.

[George K]

Not the first president to pay off a woman, of course.

[Renauda]

There's a legal term for that; fraudulent preference.

Although given Trump’s history, I am confident that he paid all his bills in full to subcontractors with mob affiliations. That too could fall under fraudulent preference .

[George K]

The hell you say, LOL.

Barr says Trump should not testify

Barr, who served as AG in the Trump administration, was asked by Fox News’ Shannon Bream whether lawyers for the 76-year-old former president should allow him to take the stand in his defense.

“Generally, I think it’s a bad idea to go on the stand and I think it’s a particularly bad idea for Trump because he lacks all self-control. And it would be very difficult to prepare him and keep him testifying in a prudent fashion,” Barr said on “Fox News Sunday.”​

But Barr also said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is abusing the function of prosecutions by “pursuing a person rather than pursuing a real crime” and warned of the fallout of such a politically charged case.

“The real danger of this thing over the long term isn’t so much narrowed to Trump,” he said. “It’s now we have thousands of DAs around the country, now that the Rubicon has been crossed, any one of them can find federal candidates or federal office holders and so forth, can find some state law they want to pursue the person on and get themselves into the national political arena.”
