All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

That's a bit too crazy

I would’ve thought the same thing a few years ago.

Haha true, the goal posts on “crazy” have been widened in the last few years!

[Handsome men don't lose fights]

Shoot, we should just do it like FOX news does and make up conspiracy theories. I personally suspect that the creature we've been calling "Donald Trump" for the last few years is actually a hive mind comprised of several dozen sentient bottles of mustard poured inside a puppet stitched together from discarded walrus foreskins.

They don't really want to be the President. They just want to be a real boy.

[BeastieRunner]

I need to get back to doing these.

Documents taken in Trump raid included files marked top secret, report says

Multiple sets of documents marked top secret were seized from former President Donald Trump’s resort home Mar-a-Lago when FBI agents carried out a search warrant there, according to a new report.

The agents took 20 boxes of items, including the “executive grant of clemency” for Roger Stone, a Republican political operative whom Trump had pardoned, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Also on the list was information about the president of France, according to the Journal.

I think that in recent years things looked more relaxed/ safe for him. Obviously this shows that's not the case. In New York, out of all places. It's not like he went to the Middle East.

I have to say that, generally speaking, I'm a bit worried about growing islamic intolerance in western countries. Here in the UK a muslim mob were able to cancel the screening of a movie nationwide, a muslim politician in parliament asked for basically blasphemy laws to be introduced, several famous scholars and imams are openly saying that LGBTQ+ isn't different than paedophilia and "that they just need to add the 'P'", a politician was stabbed to death last year, etc. In Sweden there were massive riots not long ago because a quran was burnt - and the police couldn't control the mob.

I have some muslim friends here in the UK who've become atheists and they tell me horror stories about their parents, siblings and the general segregation of muslim communities in the UK.

At some point, I thought something like this - the attack on Rushdie - was bound to happen here in the UK, but he's been living in the US for a long time now.

Media are now saying he was stabbed "on the neck". If he dies, I am pretty sure there will celebrations and partying in parts of London, parts of Birmingham, Bradford, Luton, etc.

Holy ****. This is terrifying.

I thought they only took 15 boxes? Now 20?

I'm far more worried by the members of the Christian right who hold the same ideological points of view.

And Breitbart is leaking and spreading the names of the FBI agents who conducted the search of the orange stain's gaudy resort in Florida apparently.

And when someone attacks them like the nut job attacked the FBI office in Cincy the Right will go

"How did this happen? This is not what we wanted!"

God forbid anyone gets hurt as a result of this horribly irresponsible act, but, if that does happen, I hope the families sue Breitbart for every last fucking dime.

Oh it gets worse.

Breitbart got the information directly from the orange scum because he handed them the UNREDACTED versions of the warrant.

I guess that's a difference between the USA and (parts of) Europe. The % of muslim population in the US is lower than on this side of the pond.

And if anyone thinks that was done by mistake, I’ve got some primo beachfront property in Nebraska for sale.

The complaints against the Muslim population just reek of xenophobia to me.
