The Great Divide Grows Even Wider/Deeper

So much to think about these days, both here in the U.S. and events happening around the globe.  One global bright spot:  Mexico just elected a woman as president for the first time in that nation’s history!  Yep, that nation that Trump once referred to as a “shithole country” is now more progressive than the United States!  Congratulations President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum!  And she won by a…

So in the United States a convicted felon is NOT allowed to vote, but IS allowed to run for President

EXPLAIN THE LOGIC

[tangled-pixel-harpsichord]

To be clear, felony disenfranchisement is an abhorrent, racist practice, which functionally incentivizes the conviction and imprisonment of political opponents, and it should be abolished (as should prisons)

HOWEVER,

Sorry everyone but I’ve been absolutely feasting on the Trump conviction today. Here’s my favorite memes about it:

Oops! - 05/31/2024

Donald Trump was just elected yesterday, in effect. His guilty verdict on 34 counts of an unnamed felony raised from an expired misdemeanor for supposedly falsifying business records back in 2016, is ironically all but guaranteeing his presidential victory this November 5th.

This may seem like a messy situation, but to me it's very interesting. Maybe because I look at the broader picture of what's going on and how it relates to humanity's continuing struggle to make life better. Evil has been growing and it must be dealt with as it will always exist; it just needs to be significantly curtailed, contained and kept at the lowest minimum level as possible. The system of our great republic was truly genius as it has lasted for nearly 2 1/2 centuries. I'm confident it will continue to last, but only if Trump wins and the republicans take control of both the senate and the house of representatives, which at this time looks extremely likely, in my opinion. I didn't want it to come to this in order to wake more people up to the danger of losing our freedoms by these unprecedented events, but it has. Even if Biden or some other democrat wins, we could still recover from all the potential catastrophes, but it could take a very long time, possibly centuries. Let us please avoid that by voting for Trump and the MAGA republicans. To the leftists out there who want to take down Trump, you are losing; Oops!

'His face was red': Reporter describes Trump in court as verdict was read

CNN's Kara Scannell reports on how Donald Trump reacted to the events inside the courtroom as a jury returned a guilty verdict against in his hush money trial.

[monsieurtranquille]

Me when I hear Trump has been found guilty of all charges.

Me when I realize that he'll probably not be sent to jail... Because he's too old to go to jail but not to run a country to the ground.
