Branch Trumpvidians 3: Too Many Deplorables

Just came across this on Twitter.  First, I checked to see if it was Borowitz, The Onion, or Babylon Bee.  No. For reals. 

Spoiler: No, she won't be Trump's Chief of Staff.  She'll be in the Public Liaison Office, which helps organize the base. 

 

Quote

White delivered an opening prayer before his June campaign kickoff rally in Orlando, Fla., saying "demonic networks" have aligned themselves against Trump and vowing that the president "will overcome every strategy from hell and every strategy fro the enemy."

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A California man has been convicted of using Instagram to harass the families of students killed in a mass shooting at a South Florida high school.

Court records show that Brandon Fleury was found guilty in Fort Lauderdale federal court Tuesday of cyberstalking and transmitting a kidnap threat. 

The 22-year-old Santa Ana, California, man faces up to 20 years in prison at his Dec. 2 sentencing.

Prosecutors say Fleury used 13 different Instagram accounts to target families and friends of the 17 people killed last year at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

I found this fellow because he posted a compliment on JillRods' facebook, praising her awesome parenting. Apparently, some people have no taste or sense.

Here's a quote about the impeachment process:

The only people to sue for that would be Fred and Mary Ann Trump, and they are dead.

He wants Democrats to start being kinder. Mote, log, eye, pot, kettle, etc. At least most of this one is spelled correctly.

"Stephen Miller and Jim Jordan give us a taste of the Truly Trumpian Man"

Spoiler

Across the years of a presidential administration, the churn of politics and policy brings certain men and women to the top of U.S. politics. The past few days have demonstrated the paths to preferment and influence in the Trump years.

First is the case of Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to President Trump and the administration’s unofficial liaison to the alt-right world.

Miller is best known as the prime mover behind the Muslim travel ban and the main opponent of any political compromise involving compassion for Dream Act “dreamers.” Now, with the release of a trove of emails sent to Breitbart writers and editors in 2015 and 2016 (soon before Miller became a Trump administration official), we get a glimpse of Miller’s inspirations and motivations. In response to the massacre of nine black churchgoers by a white nationalist in 2015, Miller was offended that Amazon removed merchandise featuring the Confederate flag and was concerned about the vandalization of Confederate monuments. Miller encouraged attention at Breitbart to a “white genocide”-themed novel, featuring sexualized violence by refugees. He focused on crime and terrorism by nonwhites as the basis for draconian immigration restrictions. He complained about the “ridiculous statue of liberty myth” and mocked the “national religion” of “diversity.” He recommended and forwarded stories from a range of alt-right sources.

All this is evidence of a man marinated in prejudice. In most presidential administrations, a person with such opinions would be shown the White House exit. But most of Miller’s views — tenderness for the Confederacy, the exaggerated fear of interracial crime, the targeting of refugees for calumny and contempt — have been embraced publicly by the president. Trump could not fire his alt-right alter ego without indicting himself. Miller is safe in the shelter of his boss’s bigotry.

Second, there is Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the tireless, tendentious, often bellowing chief defender of Trump during the impeachment hearings.

Jordan is not, of course, alone in his heroic sycophancy. GOP Reps. Devin Nunes (Calif.), Mark Meadows (N.C.) and others try to equal him. Together they update Alexander Pope: Fools rush in where Mick Mulvaney and Rudy Giuliani fear to tread.

But Jordan has mastered the art of talking utter rubbish in tones of utter conviction. His version of the events at the heart of the impeachment inquiry? Rather than committing corruption, Trump was fighting corruption. Military assistance was suspended, in Jordan’s telling, while the president was deciding whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was “legit” in his determination to oppose corruption. When Trump found that Zelensky was the “real deal,” the aid was released.

This is a bold but flimsy lie, of the type Trump has made common. Why, in this scenario, would Trump try to secure specific commitments from Zelensky to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter, and to examine Trump’s conspiracy theory about Ukrainian influence in the 2016 election? Are we supposed to believe that Trump employed these as random, theoretical examples of corruption that a worthy, crime-fighting leader would root out? And was the release of U.S. aid just two days after Congress was notified about the whistleblower report a coincidence as well?

Jordan asks us not to accept additional facts but to live in a substitute reality. Almost everyone who participated in these events — both professional staff and political appointees — has affirmed that Trump was employing leverage to secure his political objectives. It is the plain meaning of the reconstructed transcript of Trump’s call to Zelensky.

But none of this matters to Jordan or his colleagues. Consistency and coherence are beside the point. Their objective is not to convince the country; it is to maintain and motivate the base, and thus avoid Trump’s conviction in the Senate. The purpose is not to offer and answer arguments but to give partisans an alternative narrative. And the measure of Jordan’s success is not even the political health of his party (which is suffering from its association with Trump); it is the demonstrated fidelity to a single man.

The elevation of Trump to the presidency has given prominence to a certain kind of follower and permission for a certain set of social values. Bolsheviks once talked of creating the New Socialist Man. Miller and Jordan are giving us a taste of the Truly Trumpian Man — guided by bigotry, seized by conspiracy theories, dismissive of facts and truth, indifferent to ethics, contemptuous of institutional norms and ruthlessly dedicated to the success of a demagogue.

Every day of Trump’s term continues the moral deconstruction of the Republican Party and brings the further debasement of American politics.

It never ends. He's like a piece of human shit that attracts other pieces of shit.

I know there are people who fall for this garbage, and I am so grateful I was raised by parents who taught me not to be so gullible.

Even in school, I had some instruction in not just throwing money away. I distinctly remember a segment of health class where we were taught about how advertisers pull us in. I may remember it mostly because the teacher managed, without getting herself fired, to let us know why this packaging was meant to appeal to adolescent girls:

BT snowflakes are losing their shit because Chick-Fil-A has decided to change the groups to which they donate: "Chick-fil-A drops donations that angered LGBTQ groups, and conservatives cry betrayal"

Spoiler

On Monday, the charitable arm affiliated with Chick-fil-A revealed that it had overhauled its donation strategy and had stopped giving money to several organizations — donations that had long angered LGBTQ activists.

The Chick-fil-A Foundation announced in a statement that it planned to concentrate its giving in the areas of education, homelessness and hunger, and that it planned to work with a smaller number of charities than it had previously. It plans to reassess its giving annually, instead of entering into multiyear arrangements with charities, it said. The groups it gives to “could include faith-based and non-faith-based charities,” the foundation said.

But the bigger news was which organizations would not be getting millions in Chick-fil-A money: A representative confirmed to The Washington Post that it had ceased giving to Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Salvation Army, two religiously affiliated charities, after multiyear commitments ended in 2018.

The news was immediately greeted with dismay among conservatives, who saw the move as a capitulation to protesters who had led boycotts of the family-owned chicken chain beginning in 2012.

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee was among those expressing disappointment at the news.

Others labeled it “backstabbing” and a “betrayal” by a company that has long espoused a Christian ethos.

In 2012, the company’s donations were already controversial when statements against same-sex marriage by CEO Dan Cathy sparked nationwide boycotts, followed by a counter-movement that Huckabee led. In a radio interview that summer, Cathy said, “we’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage. And I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude that thinks we have the audacity to redefine what marriage is all about.”

After the initial flap, the company toned down its political profile, though it continued to give to controversial groups, according to reports about its tax donations.

The Chick-fil-A Foundation plans to give $9 million in 2020 to Junior Achievement USA, Covenant House International and local food banks. It has given more than $6 million to a long list of charities so far this year.

And while many conservatives lamented the foundation’s moves, LGBTQ activists were not immediately impressed. “If Chick-fil-A is serious about their pledge to stop holding hands with divisive anti-LGBTQ activists, then further transparency is needed regarding their deep ties to organizations like Focus on the Family, which exist purely to harm LGBTQ people and families,” said Drew Anderson, director of campaigns and rapid response for GLAAD, in an emailed statement. “Chick-fil-A investors, employees, and customers can greet today’s announcement with cautious optimism, but should remember that similar press statements were previously proven to be empty.”

And some saw the decision as an attempt by Chick-fil-A to placate customers in the era of the ongoing Chicken Wars: The Popeyes spicy fried chicken became a viral sensation this summer, prompting widespread shortages. When Popeyes brought the sandwich back earlier this month, it did so on a Sunday, which many saw as a slap at rival Chick-fil-A, which is famously closed on Sundays.

I hope this fucker enjoys prison and that he’s sentenced to the maximum time allowed. 

Quote

A western New York man pleaded guilty Monday to threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

Patrick Carlineo entered the plea Monday in Rochester, admitting to charges that carry up to 10 years in prison. His sentencing is set for Feb. 14.

Prosecutors say the 55-year-old called Omar’s office March 21, told a staffer the congresswoman was a “terrorist” and threatened to shoot her.

Carlineo later told the FBI that he is a patriot, hates people he perceives to be radical Muslims in the U.S. government, and loves Republican President Donald Trump, according to a criminal complaint

I was browsing through the old LOLBible thread, and realized we haven't been keeping up with Jon McNaughton -- the last "painting" of his I could find in an FJ thread was the animated Trump petting the flag one.

Here are some more recent  . . . um . . . things:
