All of this for Donald fuckin' Trump. This "country" is beyond fucked.
As a New Yorker this is nuts. Our resident loser “billionaire” got almost half the country by the balls.
UN says Trump Blackwater pardons violate international law
BY JOHN BOWDEN - 12/30/20 09:51 AM EST
A United Nations panel on Wednesday said that President Trump's pardons for several former Blackwater contractors convicted of killing more than a dozen civilians in Baghdad violated international law.
Reuters reported that the U.N. working group on the use of mercenaries condemned the action in a statement, calling Trump's decision to pardon the four men an affront to justice and insult to the memory of those killed.
"Pardoning the Blackwater contractors is an affront to justice and to the victims of the Nisour Square massacre and their families,” said the group's chair, Jelena Aparac, according to the news agency.
“These pardons violate U.S. obligations under international law and more broadly undermine humanitarian law and human rights at a global level," Aparac continued.
Trump last week moved to pardon the four men along with a handful of former GOP congressmen and a number of loyalists close to his 2016 campaign.
The pardons for the former Blackwater contractors were met with sharp criticism from Gen. David Petraeus and Ryan Crocker, the top American officials in charge of U.S. policy in Iraq at the time of the 2007 killings, who called it “hugely damaging, an action that tells the world that Americans abroad can commit the most heinous crimes with impunity” in a joint statement obtained by Reuters.
Now known as Academi, the private security services company faced heavy criticism over the 2007 incident and lost its license to operate in Iraq from the country's government as a result. The company also faced accusations of other human rights abuses as a result of the WikiLeaks release of thousands of documents related to the Iraq War in 2010.

do not get charged by international courts for things like that is that the US is
supposed to implement the justice itself. Trump, however, has proved that he thinks
that international law does not apply to the US. He reprieved that arrogant staff
sergeant who was charged with murdering an Iraqi youth, who had been disciplined
by the US military. Now, he has these thugs who went on a killing spree also freed
of their culpability. .

It's because their base doesn't care about those issues. They only care about maintaining white supremacy. They hate Democrats and are happy for their party to fight anything that we want.
I think that may be the most surprising thing to me, that it's Trump. Everything the Republican party has become, I expected. You could see that at some point they would concede democracy for white supremacy. But the idolization of Trump surprised me. Not that they would find a white savior but that it's Trump. A buffoonish man. A joke. A man who lies are so easily dis-proven. A pathological narcissist. A psychopath.
The best take down of Trump and his followers:
Because he wouldn't be a majority leader. Because he's old and time is not on his side. And major pay back is coming.
"Well, I'm going to be running for leader again, and it'll be up to the people around the country to determine whether I'm the leader of the majority or the minority," he told The Courier Journal.
"I've been both, and I can tell you, the majority leader's better," he told reporters recently.
The Kentucky Republican wouldn't be able to control what legislation does or doesn't come up for a vote anymore if he loses the majority leader job, said Rutgers University political science professor Ross Baker, who has closely observed the Senate's inner workings.
"If you've been setting the agenda for the institution … it’s a big morale hit," he said of the demotion.
The fate of the legislative filibuster — a 60-vote threshold senators must meet to advance a proposed bill — would play a role in determining how effective McConnell and his conservative colleagues could be if they end up in the minority.
Senator Josh Hawley to contest the 2020 Electoral College results
The Missouri Republican said on Wednesday that he intends to object to the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election when Congress meets in a joint session on January 6 to formally count the Electoral College votes. The move will not alter the result of the 2020 presidential election, according to several reports, but will

I'm Calling It Now.....2024 Ossoff Will be the Dem Nominee For President and he Gonna Drop Kamala for Beto Orourke....I Can Feel It Coming
That’s not going to happen I like Ossoff But Kamala is going to be the first woman president of the United States in 2024
As I said 2022 is right around the corner. The dems if they win will have a razor thin majority and 2022 elections could see him right back in power. Especially since this will be a non presidential election. Dems didn't do so good in a presidential elections.
"Even if the Democrats ax the filibuster, Baker said McConnell still would be influential politically. "You have a megaphone that you can use, and you know, Schumer certainly used it," he noted.
Eastern Kentucky University professor Anne Cizmar, who works in the school's Department of Government, noted McConnell is a skilled politician who would be as effective as he feasibly could be to advance Republicans' goals and fight any moves Democrats make that don't jibe with them.
McConnell obstructed former President Barack Obama's agenda in a big way during his first two years as majority leader in 2015 and 2016, and Cizmar predicted he and his GOP colleagues would take a similar strategy in this situation."

Your prediction is based on what again?
Will the senate even confirm the electoral college vote?
If you see that he personifies the id and ego of their followers
Their MO is they’re selfish and want to do what they like to who they want to so his very selfish nature you condemn is why he’s their hero
Gonna buy a smoothie with my earnings.

He has anger and resentment towards the same people they do. He doesn't really want to be their guy but settled for it. He wants to be the talk of the town in New York and LA. He used up his 15 minutes. He doesn't give a fuck about Kentucky or Alabama. He looks down on them. It's the reason he swagger-jacked black people for all those years. He wanted to piggy-back on cool culture. He wants to be invited to the Oscars, not saluted at the Country-western Awards. He went with the easy mark.
Murika truly deserves what it gets for backing such assholes
