The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

Rioter pardoned by Trump convicted of conspiracy to murder FBI agents

Edward Kelly, a January 6 rioter pardoned by Donald Trump last January, has been sentenced to life in prison.

He was convicted of planning the assassination of FBI special agents investigating his role in the Capitol insurrection.
Federal prosecutors described Kelly as a man "remorseless" for his actions. Calling himself a "patriot", he allegedly organized paramilitary exercises, planned his operation in detail and drew up a hit list of federal agents.
 
It’s fun to point out when the Imbecile in Chief makes a fool of himself. 😆

Trump praises English of the leader of Liberia – where English is the official language

“Liberia is a longtime friend of the United States and we believe in your policy of making America great again,” President Joseph Boakai said in English at a White House meeting before advocating for US investment in his country. “We just want to thank you so much for this opportunity.”

Trump, clearly impressed, inquired where Boakai got his language skills.

“Such good English, such beautiful …” Trump said. “Where did you learn to speak so beautifully? Where were you educated?”

Boakai seemed to chuckle. English is the official language of Liberia.

“In Liberia?” Trump asked. “Yes sir,” Boakai said.

Donnie is SO ignorant. Obviously he knows nothing about the history of Liberia. Nothing.
 
there's been some noise about a bad actor using AI to impersonate marco rubio on Signal calls and texts to at least 5 different officials...

and it may well be the case. However, being me, the thought had to cross my mind that (just perhaps) it wasn't an impersonation but actually rubio on there saying stupid shit (passed down from trump or others pulling strings) that got such a bad response from the people targeted that the AI claims had to swiftly appear in the public perception.

who knows? I'd hope someone actually does but then again....
 
E. Jean Carroll took a victory lap on Thursday in response to an appeals court order affirming its ruling to uphold a civil verdict that found President Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll.

"Thursday, July 10th, 2025," she wrote. "So long, Old Man! The United States Court of Appeals, 2nd Circuit, bids thee farewell."

:cool:

There seems to be nothing new under the sun.

Plague (14th century). Moslems intent on slaughtering unbelievers (7th century). Tariffs causing economic mayhem (19th century). Catastrophic flooding (Biblical). Power-hungry idiots (I'm thinking Caligula in the 1st century and Liu Shan in the 3rd) . Habeas corpus ad subjiciendum (14th century or earlier).
