The fascist trolls swarm in defense of Trump by attacking democrats, scurrying into social media with these "Gaza purity" canards like clockwork. They learned from butteremails that liberals can be fractured and defeated easily. That strategy won again in 2024 and they're recycling the same for a fascist sweep in 28. The front page will be spammed with Murc's law arguments about Gaza and ICE, always cajoling lost cause capitulation.
The "laundering" part is important. Further, there is a clear paper trail (we all know Trump got $28m). That's not "money laundering."
What is: real estate purchases are largely exempt for AML/KYC so if you have $100m dirty you can't transfer to a FATF compliant bank, you buy a fancy condo, overpaying to buy a nudge nudge wink wink and hold for 5+ years then sell. proceeds can be deposited "clean" and are accessible globally.
Ass, you call for scorched earth on your allies and then claim righteous innocence when the inevitable defeat follows?
Just stop, it is a shitty, self destructive strategy. (Or, if you're a fascist troll, a shitty but highly effective one).
Advance your favorites enthusiastically. Attack the fascists enthusiastically. If you can't endorse an imperfect ally, let them be. The herd of cats we rely on to defeat the fascist sheep spook easily, scatter at a whim, and rarely move in unison as it is
No buddy, you're missing the forrest for a tree. You attack your allies because they aren't perfectly aligned and then scrape together excuses for why we lost the war. Build up your favorites, tear down the enemy. Leave the imperfect allies where they stand.
All victories of the "establishment." If you're not a fascist troll, I hope you take some time to learn how elections work, how social media influences them, how rage is viral and why, and how to counter it productively.
If you woulda voted for Manichen over Justice, good on you. Me too. I don't mourn his absence, he was awful but the least bad option is less bad and if you don't want the worst option, you have to do what you can for the less bad, no matter how awful.
No, you did.
You're clearly advocating a fascist fantasy strategy, so maybe we both took the right lesson from the losses the Purity Not Voters brought us: I wanted democracy to survive and I and Hillary and Kamala lost and you are perfectly articulating a strategy for fascist victory and your strategy worked for you in 2016 and 24, unfortunately for the world's poor.
Your hypothesis assumes Kamala was right of Trump, dipshit.
Nice strategy. Did you crib it from Stephen Miller? It is exactly what he'd want liberals to do.
who reduced child poverty? Biden! Fuck ya, Biden was excellent. Who undercut him? Purity test liberal morons. The longer term data set shows just how extraordinarily progressive Biden's policies were.
You can run. You can promote better alternatives. If you do, I'll consider you an ally in the fight against fascism.
If you consider Manchin the "center" and call that worse than the left, that's reasonable too.
But he's gone, replaced by a true Trumptard, Jim Justice. Is that what you call a win? I suspect it is because your defense of Murc's law marks you as a fascist troll, or at least a useful idiot.
Nah, read again. They're attacking leadership without offering any alternatives. If they were genuinely trying to defeat fascism, they'd vociferously back whoever is best to defeat the fascist, perhaps more enthusiastically a Mamdani but no less urgently a Spanberger or even a Schumer.
Instead these wehrkraftzersetzer are spreading Murc's Law calumny: why? Well we saw the result in 24 with the Gaza purity BS and in 16 with buttery emails: they put Trump in office. Twice. Fascists.

As long as democrats are in the minority in the house or senate, whether absolute or effective due to turncoats (as you do rightly name), they're less effectual than governors or mayors, who CAN actually make a difference, and do.
But the point of my example is to give hope to liberal voters, to see the genuine positive progress that electing even a centrist has over the fascists.
It is that morale the fascist trolls crush by exploiting schisms in the herd of cats liberal party, and so win.
If y'all from there y'all'd've the same.
The prison pop graphs should be recomputed as a percentage of total population. The conclusion will still stand, but do it right.
Health care should go enough before nixon to show stability until his HMO act of 1973.
This is exactly what they wanted. It was obvious at the time the outcome they were advocating for was defeating Kamala so Trump would win. Kamala endorsed a two state solution. Biden imposed a real (no shooting) cease fire. Trump promised complete ethnic erasure (and a Trump resort). Every single Kamala not voter, every single Gaza purity test objecter, knew exactly what they were backing, and this is it: ethnic erasure. Nobody is so stupid as to not have understood the stakes.
Hi fascist lickspittle, every dead Gazan thanks you. 25 million dead not enough for you? The fucking fascists successful convinced enough well intentioned but fatally stupid liberals to protest not vote (because they're, apparently, illiterate) that the fascists won. Any that admit the stupidity and accept responsibility are fine by me, anyone still advancing this attack is clearly wehrkraftzersetzer.
Yes, true. Which is why Republicans are trying to ban ranked choice voting. HB 3040
You're right. There's a small team of fascist trolls that have been assigned to attack and fracture the left. They're looking for a hook that will work as well as the Gaza purity not vote one did in 2024 to keep the fascists in power. It is a ridiculously obvious ploy: taring the viable opposition to fascism as somehow unworthy of support does, alas, work. Every democratic not vote is a vote for fascism.
Sure, back good primary candidates, make a positive case for them. Explain how important it is that they win, how they can beat the R, Why every D should vote for them in the general, why every R should too or at least NOT vote for the "establishment" R.
The problem is you're a fascist troll, whether you know it or not, so fuck you. By attacking the party of resistance you're not advancing progressives, you're hurting centrists and thus helping fascists.
Be positive about who you want to win.
Use this one simple trick unpopular candidates don't want you to know: vote.
It is just that simple, no matter what these "anti-establsishment progressives" say (shh... they are all, every one of them, either fascist trolls or their useful idiots)
Support good leaders from the progressive wing in regions where being progressive isn't electoral suicide: win (Mamdani).
Support a good centrist where the population leans right: win and make good progress (Spanberger).
Every vote is a revolution.
It isn't the usual use. Bribe covers the act, even if the bribe wasn't concealed. It isn't a typical kickback, but it is more that than money laundering. The launderer would have to be Trump, not Amazon. And he's just holding his pockets wide open.
Yah the big press is not covering the Trump mentions or any of these details. Intimidation works. Most people don't want to die in jail.
Next phase will be the social media scoring system from Palantir/Oracle. Speak ill of the dear leader, Trump score dedicated. Low score, no loan, no credit, no job. Lower? No internet. Lower? Capture and disappear.
Think anyone will resist? How many people will vie for the bonus points for turning in neighbors? Parking ticket? Pay it with Trump Score.
it is important because there are separate chargeable crimes. The description so far is of a bribe, $28m straight up. It is likely irony that the use of the particular vehicle chosen to cover that bribe, aside from the likely fraudulent pending claim as a "loss," is that the humiliation engendered will almost certainly reverse any favors purchased.

Drone carried LIDAR is a useful archeological tool in that it can reveal subtle topographical anomalies left by eroded structures, typically by applying an algorithm that enhances the visibility of regular patterns or reduces noise etc. You might see a surface deviation caused by an underground structure lift or sink. Thermal imaging can also reveal underground structures, as can magnetic or gravitational mapping. GPR is probably what they meant though.
the money laundering claim has been made and I don't get it. Who is assosciated with the project is having trouble getting actual cash into legitimate banks? How is film making immune to AML/KYC? Where does the cash come out?
This seems fair

BuT BoTh PaRtIeS...
they were doing great. it's amazing, fuckwits like you claim "BuT BoTh ParTiEs" and justify your ignorance of basic election math, then the catastrophic consequences of your stupidity become inescapable reality and you're still too fucking self righteous to even accept how much harm you've done.
Says the person who would rather see 25 million people murdered, 100 million deported to death camps, Taiwan and Ukraine crushed, the US go to war in south America and Iran, the world condemned to global warming which could kill a billion more.
You have zero moral standing and even less self awareness

"How Trump Has Pocketed $1,408,500,000"
it's more like "Yah, of course, that's why he's a great president, he's personally invested in profiting from the country. That just means his interests are aligned" or something like that. "Every other president lost money serving, he's the first president to really run the country like his own personal business."
And yes, rejecting Kamala because she didn't cut funding as aggressively as you, personally would have liked is very much like saying you don't give a shit about the people, only your political objective, which is pretty awful.
Because, dumbass, you're not the only one asking of her.
I get you have gripes, maybe even legitimate, that her handling of Israel and Gaza wasn't everything you wished it was. However, even you, no matter how fucking stupid you are, have to see the difference between Trump's slate-wipe policy and her two state solution.
So the question is, when you were asked to either reject, endorse, or passively accept a fascist dictatorship, were you too stupid to understand the question?
