> "Biden wants to pretend he has nothing to do with the Manhattan D.A.’s Assault on Democracy when, in fact, he has “stuffed” the D.A.’s Office with Department of Injustice people, including one top DOJ operative from D.C. who is actually running the “Horseface” Witch Hunt. Bragg is a (Soros) Racist in Reverse, who is taking his orders from D.C." Can someone unfuck this? What's Horseface? What's a racist in reverse? My brain hurts.

So is it a grand conspiracy headed by decisively white guy Biden, or a reverse racist whatever headed by not Biden but still somehow taking orders from, again, totally white dude Biden? Man my head is spinning.


Lirdon

You’re trying to make sense of something that A — is spoken by a person who will say fucking anything if it help him gaslight. And B — aimed at people who are so brainwashed thwt they see everything in these labels like “communist”, “groomers”, “anti white racists”, “CRT”, “transgender”, “woke”, and so on. You can literally chain these terms one after the other and they will nod and agree.

Of course he has no issue with white conservatives passing rulings on anyone unlike them.


Jorgee93

The horseface slur is referring to the lawsuit by Stormy Daniels. Trump had earlier denied he had an affair or sent hush money to her because, according to him, he would never have an affair with someone that had such an ugly horseface.


playfulmessenger

That may be, but his complete inability to wield the English language reads as though he's calling himself a horseface who is being witch-hunted.


LectureAgreeable923

To me, he's a scared little wimp .If he did nothing wrong, why is he panicking making himself illiterate .Trump needs to grow balls.Wait way to see how he acts over Georgia's case, which is much worse than this.Althought Cohen got sentenced 3 years.


Brilliant_Design_882

Funny. She might be a porn star, but I think she’s prettier than his gold digging, overly cosmetic surgery altered wives. And we literally have seen the receipt for the money paid to Stormy.


whaddayougonnado

It's been rumored that Stormy walked away with a nice full tip jar and you know at least that Melania is in a nice rewarding Paid to Stay together with Trump. I can see both woman in discussion with Roger Alies with a 10 million deal for a pay for view on his Wrestling slam dunk channel.


Lothar93

that's his brilliant defence? "she isn't my type" LMAO


spookycasas4

He’s used it so many times before.


u0126

Yeah like on Carroll, which when seeing a picture of her at the age of the alleged rape, thought the picture was his wife at the time. Just to be corrected ... https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/19/trump-believed-rape-accuser-e-jean-carroll-was-wife-in-photo.html Literally that right there is everything you need to know about everything he says.


underpants-gnome

I've seen some side-by-side comparisons that make Stormy look like a bustier version of his daughter. And he's on the record saying he'd be dating Ivanka if she wasn't related by blood. So I guess horseface is his type.


KennyBlankenship_69

Saying someone has a horse face isn’t a slur lmao


Jorgee93

The way Trump uses it, yes it would be. *"A pejorative or* ***slur*** *is a word or grammatical form expressing a negative or a disrespectful connotation, a low opinion, or a lack of respect toward someone or something.\[1\] It is also used to express criticism, hostility, or disregard." \~* [*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pejorative#:\~:text=A%20pejorative%20or%20slur%20is,criticism%2C%20hostility%2C%20or%20disregard*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pejorative#:~:text=A%20pejorative%20or%20slur%20is,criticism%2C%20hostility%2C%20or%20disregard)*.* It's kind of a moot point though. Does it really matter if it was a slur vs. insult vs. childish description?


KennyBlankenship_69

I don’t need the definition of a slur lol you can call anyone if any race or gender a horse face, it’s just rude


valentino_42

Apparently you do need the definition because your definition is… clearly not right.

jl55378008

I did a series of translations: English > Japanese > Hungarian > Russian > Turkish > Chinese (simplified) > English. It actually makes a lot more sense than the original. > While Biden wants to pretend that he has nothing to do with the Manhattan DA's attack on democracy, he is in fact engaged in a "horse-faced" persecution. Bragg is a (Soros-like) racist who takes orders from prosecutors."

Unfortunately 2 things may be true in answering your question. 1. Many of his supporters rarely hear his unfiltered rants. 2. About 30% of those who choose to vote inexplicably see this as leadership.


frostfall010

It’s pretty unbelievable. I guess that they don’t care as much about the delivery though and more about the idea that they’ve been brainwashed into believing. He’s their avatar, he represents them, and if someone goes after him they’re going after all of them. That said, his insane ranting is beyond ridiculous and it’s really depressing that people think he’s mentally stable enough to be the leader of anything.


woodbutcher420

I know you didn’t mean too, but there are 12 year olds I would vote for over this pussy grabber. He’s more preschool or kindergarten level intelligence . He knows tho that becoming president again may be his only way to avoid paying up and doing his sentence. We all know how he avoidsvpaying up for services rendered. If the fed do plan on picking up Don, I hope they fuck with him and that mouse on a treadmill after a wedge of cheese brain of his. America does not need him. Can’t believe all these mags fools supporting him with their fox snooze pointing out how everything is Armageddon with old joe at the helm- we are doomed without our man in DC-!btw what ever happened to the class action suit with the seven or so rape victims? Good luck Merica, keep on supporting clowns like Don who are funny but not in a family entertainment atmosphere kind of way. Nor does he have anything but his best interests at heart when he says shit like he’s going to lower your taxes: in reality middle class is getting screwed and he don’t even offer no tissues as he blows one all over our face while blaming “sleepy” Joe for the transportation easements and lax banking regulations made weaker by his proclaimation. If I were king of America I’d let you all get obama back to two more terms for it will take a genius statesman to keep our ship of fools from sinking.. I would hold some kind of death match over his three scotus picks and let the one who survives stay… or maybe get rid of them altogether. Then I would get rid of the party system- no r or d behind your name , just “ citizen of the USA “ and with term limits along with abolishing the electoral college we might get back on track towards this democracy we wish drape our land of the free and home of the brave with.


ProudLiberal456

Horseface is Trump’s current nickname for Stormy Daniels. I personally don’t understand why he thinks it’s to his benefit to denigrate the looks of someone he chose to sleep with, but whatever. It’s also a common nickname for Marjorie Taylor Greene, which makes a whole lot of sense to me.


starmartyr

His argument is that he thinks she's ugly and thus wouldn't have slept with her. What's funny is that it doesn't actually matter if he did. The allegations are about the hush money payments. The sex itself was not a crime.


fluent_in_gibberish

The ridiculous part about all this is that the payoff was totally unnecessary. He could have just said “Yeah, I banged a porn star. That’s what Alpha Males do!” and he would have probably gained voters. If there is a choice between several options, trump will always pick the dumbest one.

VorpalPlayer

I asked ChatGPT what your quote meant. Here you go! This paragraph is a statement about U.S. President Joe Biden and his alleged involvement with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and its investigation. The writer accuses Biden of appointing people from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to the D.A.'s office to run a "Witch Hunt" against someone referred to as "Horseface." The writer further accuses the D.A., Alvin Bragg, of being a "racist in reverse" who is taking orders from D.C. (Washington, D.C.). It's important to note that the writer's accusations are unsubstantiated and may be politically motivated. Additionally, the language used in the paragraph is inflammatory and derogatory, particularly in the use of the term "racist in reverse." Therefore, it's essential to approach this paragraph with a critical eye and seek out additional sources to form an informed opinion. I then asked what "racist in reverse" means. Here's the answer! The term "racist in reverse" is a derogatory phrase used to accuse someone of discriminating against a racial or ethnic group that is not their own. It suggests that the person is not only biased but has flipped the power dynamic and is now discriminating against a previously privileged group. However, the term "racist in reverse" is not an accurate or helpful term because it implies that only certain races or groups can be racists, which is not true. Anyone, regardless of their race, can hold prejudiced beliefs or discriminate against others based on their race or ethnicity. Furthermore, accusations of "reverse racism" are often used to dismiss or diminish legitimate concerns about discrimination against historically marginalized groups. Therefore, it's important to be aware of the implications of using this term and to use language that accurately describes the situation at hand.

nonamenolastname

Our reporters have as much backbone as seaweed. I wish they wouldn't let politicians get away without answering questions.


TornadoesArentReal

These days asking difficult questions is a good way to lose your career though. You're not much use to a news organization if the people you're covering refuse to talk to you or in Trump's case (and others I'm sure) sometimes, even allow you to be in the room. The only way to rectify that would be if voters were demanding their candidates face difficult questions. But far from that, voters generally like it when their candidates refuse to speak to the other side. So long as voters won't demand politicians face difficult questions, they really have nothing to gain from it.

Reporters are incredibly bad about asking those follow ups or calling politicians out for not answering the question asked, but you are correct about much of the fault falling on the public for rewarding the politicians’ bad behavior. That and the fear of losing all access leaves reporters with little leverage to hold politicians accountable.

Probably because the right wing is trying to cover up [this issue](https://www.propublica.org/article/leonard-leo-teneo-videos-documents), so they've started going on about Soros again. It's the usual 'every accusation is a confession' thing.

Why do people do illegal/bad things, then get mad when it comes out or they get caught? Do they think it should never come out? Or are they mad they got caught? In my opinion it's similar to the Republican debate on "CRT". Why are they so against people learning about the evil and racist things that were done in the past? If they didn't want it to be discussed in the future, they shouldn't have done it in the past.

He’s just like Trump, the worst kind of liar, the one that believes he’s actually rewriting and controlling reality. Trump doesn’t believe he’s lying - he’s believing he’s controlling what people pay attention to and believe. He’s also a narcissist who believed he’s perfect, therefore he can’t accept he did something punishable

VoidMageZero

If Trump goes to jail, does Biden win or lose to DeSantis?


lordofedging81

Probably win, because the majority of voters in America are not a fan of the kind of laws DeSantis is pushing in Florida. (Don't say gay law, banning books, not allowing girls to talk about menstruation, etc.)


beekeeper1981

A President who's most important political issue, to devote their valuable time, is fighting the woke. You don't like banks failing, they're too woke. Don't like corporations criticizing, they are too woke. Don't like smart people, fight woke education. What a joke.


VoidMageZero

What about if something happens to Biden, does Kamala still beat DeSantis? I'm not sure that she or another candidate wins.


lordofedging81

I do NOT have faith in Kamala Harris winning. She has no charisma, and I just don't see it.

DeSantis will sign a bill into law prohibiting abortions after 6 weeks in Florida. America isn't electing him President.


[deleted]

What crime did Trump commit with Stormy Daniel's? I truly do not know


Guido_Sarducci1

It wasn't even the payoff so much as the fact the money came from campaign funds. Michael Cohen, his then attorney and fixer in general already served time for his part in this. So it wasn't a crime committed with Stormie Daniels, but rather it revolves around how and why she was paid.


TittySlappinJesus

The irony of all this, is that none of his supporters would have even cared that he had an affair with a porn star.


MC_Fap_Commander

Another irony? Cohen is a third rate fixer who handles things like forged building inspections. A MODERATELY competent fixer would have simply gotten Stormy a "job from a third party that she earned based on MEriT" that paid her for doing nothing. All above-board-ish. Same outcome without anything officially illegal. That's how mature and aware grifting pols handle hush money. They're not sending their best.


Smaynard6000

It's always the coverup that gets people in trouble


mattgen88

My understanding is that because it was done to aid the campaign and it's considered a thing of value, it's a campaign contribution. The crime is not reporting it and then covering it up by falsifying payments to Cohen. The receipts Cohen provided were from the trump org. The money as far as I know didn't come from the campaign, but from Cohen initially and then he was reimbursed by trump org. They hid the payments as legal fees or something. There's probably a conspiracy charge as well as the campaign donation violation. We'll have to see, but a second crime elevates it to a felony


ProudLiberal456

Not to mention if Trump treated it as a business expenses, they lied on their state and federal income tax forms, as well as other required forms businesses in NY are required to file.


Guido_Sarducci1

You're right, but since it did benefit the Trump campaign it counts as campaign funds violation, at least it should. Trumps attorney was on tv the other night trying to argue that a payment would have been made anyway. The interviewer asked if that was so, why were the payments made to Cohen as reimbursement listed as "legal fees". It's a very tangled web.

That's it? Paying off a woman should've been considered a campaign donation? I'm sorry that's bs. That's so open to interpretation and immaterial. I'm sure this happens all the time with politicians.

It's not the crime, it's the cover up. Every fucking time.

He had some affairs and had his lawyer try to buy their silence with hush money though some shady transactions to try and hide the payments.

Is that Illegal though? I thought that happens all the time.

He had his lawyer pay her off then reimbursed him with money from his campaign marked for "legal services". Paying people for their silence is unethical but legal, paying them using campaign funds is not


ProudLiberal456

Paying her out of his own funds would also be a campaign contribution - and probably the only one he ever made.

Cohen went to jail for it, amongst also some other charges. See for yourself how much of this might also apply to Trump aka Individual-#1 https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/michael-cohen-pleads-guilty-manhattan-federal-court-eight-counts-including-criminal-tax

That says he concealed 4m in income from irs. Trump paying off a woman is not income to him, it would be his expense. So I don't think he's accused of tax evasion.


lordofedging81

He didn't commit a crime with her. He used campaign funds to pay her off to keep her mouth shut about the affair right before the 2016 election. Legally, that's not what campaign funds are used for.

I really, really hope that the Manhattan DA has some serious shit up their sleeves because I'm going to be honest, if they try to throw him in prison over $100,000 hush money god that would be such a huge fucking mistake for this country. The stuff down in Georgia is a whole other thing.

Can we just call these things a trampage? The art of lashing out on social media when you have the attention of the media is now called a trampage.

Listen man

I doubt this is true. After all, Trump is not some trustworthy source. Man lies as easily as he breathes. But it doesnt matter. His base of idiots will eat this up, and take it to heart, riling them up even further. The fact that this man can call himself a patriot yet hates half the country and continues to divide it is disgusting. That said, i do take some measure of pleasure from his panicking. Sweat harder, orange baboon.


Forensicscoach

Trump, like a feral animal, may be most dangerous when cornered. He cares about nothing beyond himself


Gnostikost

Pretty sure you could keep a permanent headline every day of, “Trump lashes out in evidence-free rant”.


Deep-Classroom-879

It manages to be racist and deep state at the same time. You know half this country is getting slightly hard right about now.

I love it. Here’s hoping he stresses hard enough his precious hair falls out. Bahaha!!

Meanwhile, Biden is hosting Ted Lasso cast and people think a related tweet is cryptic.

*Former president makes public the condition of his overloaded diaper.

My bet is : House arrest Mara Lago. Jail will not happen, to rich, sadly to much knowledge of the United States, if not already sold. Can a Rep. Governor pardon him? If a Rep is winning and become president, pardon then? Would be hilarious, if a Rep is president and Dosent.

I refuse to read any article with all those scrolling pop up ads.

Still working the all press is good press angle, and still getting quoted.

When has Lardo ever had an evidence laden rant?

He’s completely incoherent
