They've still aided and abetted his domestic terrorism, and both have obvious drug problems.  All three of them belong in front of a firing squad for treason along with Cheeto Hitler.

 

I don't care what she's has or hasn't done, I still want a romp in the hay with Ivanka. 

 

As for dumb and dumber, I think they're more Daddy's cheerleaders than they are criminal masterminds.  No doubt Jr is enjoying the use of nose candy, but I hope the dumb blonde isn't.  I tend to doubt that he can afford to lose too many brain cells.

I won a bottle of Glenmorangie on the 2020 election...although the guy I bet with wasn't a Trump fan, he was just convinced that Trump would win.

 

Yeah, I don't doubt it's an easy win for me. The hard part is I generally talk with this person every week and only this week found out about him supporting Trump. I'm not totally surprised I guess, but it means I'm going to have to skirt around certain topics with him moving forward. There was definately a lot of disappointment from suddenly finding that out. It's kind of like a win in the betting department but a loss in other aspects.

I play in a band with one. I don't know that he still supports Trump after all the stuff that has happened in the past 7 or 8 years, but he certainly was supporting him over Hillary. He also despises Trudeau, but that comes with the territory of originally being from Saskatchewan and living in Calgary for a few years.

 

The thing is, he's a great guy and very smart. He just has a blind spot when it comes to politics, so our default setting within the band is to talk about anything else.

I believe it is illegal to support JT in those areas.

 

Comes with a hefty fine and community service.

It's fun to joke about it, but the victimhood complex on the prairies is bad. Very toxic. Preston Manning can f-off already.

 

I spent most of the 80's out there, but I was a full time musician and pretty apolitical in those days, so I kind of missed it.

 

Now I'm a part-time musician and a full time political junkie....:classic_laugh:

Yeah, I agree on last paragraph with this being a great guy otherwise as well. He's just clearly still caught up in the echo chamber unfortunately and will probably get a rude awakening one day.

It just leads to bad decisions and letting local politicians off the hook. Look at the dimwit premiers in ab and sk. It's also incredibly whiney.

In the Wake of a Sex Scandal, a Moms for Liberty Co-Founder’s Career Is Crumbling

Bridget Ziegler stepped down from her job, and the Sarasota School Board chair called for her resignation.

 

It’s been just a week since Christian Ziegler, chair of the Florida GOP, was accused of raping a woman who was involved in a sexual encounter with him and his wife, Moms for Liberty co-founder and Sarasota school board member Bridget Ziegler. Prominent Florida Republicans wasted no time in calling for Christan Ziegler to resign, which he has so far refused to do. Now, his wife is suffering from the consequences as well. 

 

On Wednesday, the Daily Beast reported that the Leadership Institute, the conservative political training group where Bridget Ziegler works as a vice president, had removed her profile from its website; the group later confirmed that she had stepped down. Later that day, Sarasota school board chair Karen Rose, a conservative, said in a statement that she planned to ask Bridget to resign from the board. “I am shocked and deeply saddened by the conduct and deplore the salacious news coverage,” she wrote. “I personally care about Bridget and her family and deeply regret the necessity for this course of action, but given the intense media scrutiny locally and nationally, her continued presence on the Board would cause irreparably harmful distractions to our critical mission.”

 

Rose said she planned to officially call for Ziegler’s resignation at the school board meeting scheduled for December 12. If she does resign, this will mark the end of Ziegler’s notoriously influential tenure, during which she pushed through an agenda that sought to rid schools of books and curricula that were inclusive of LGBTQ people. In a Facebook post last week, the day before news of the scandal broke, she boasted that she had “terminated gender diverse guidelines,” “eliminated equity committee,” and “eliminated equity policy & position.”

 

She was able to accomplish these goals by remaking the board to reflect her own political perspective. Last year, Ziegler led a successful campaign to recruit more conservative members, flipping the board’s majority from Democrat to Republican. She capitalized on that victory to secure her job at the Leadership Institute, where she trained prospective conservative school board candidates from across the country.

 

Ziegler participated in sessions about school board campaigns at both of the Moms for Liberty annual conferences that I attended. As the group rose to prominence, it became clear that school board elections were a powerful entry point for conservative voters. In 2021, when he was Florida’s GOP vice chair, Christian Ziegler praised Moms for Liberty in a Washington Post article. “I have been trying for a dozen years to get 20- and 30-year-old females involved with the Republican Party, and it was a heavy lift to get that demographic,” he said. “But now Moms for Liberty has done it for me.”

 

Bridget Ziegler has admitted that she participated in a sexual encounter with Christian and his accuser last year, but she was not involved in the alleged sexual assault. Christian has denied the assault allegations.

 

Even before Rose called for Ziegler’s resignation from the school board, Sarasota social media forums were filled with people pointing out the contradiction of Bridget’s involvement with the bisexual sex scandal while also having been instrumental in drafting Florida’s famous “Don’t Say Gay” legislation, which forbade discussion of LGBTQ issues in many school settings. On Wednesday, one member of a Sarasota Reddit forum noted the irony, writing, “Because of the Zieglers and all the gossip they’ve evoked around school, my elementary-aged kids now know about swinging and threesomes.”

ScaryLarry is the GOAT of AKAs! Hard to pick a personal favourite but I think I’ll go with the Twatzis.

‘Don’t Fall For It’: Don Jr Insinuates Alleged Attempt To Burn MLK’s Home Is False Flag Op

https://www.mediaite.com/crime/dont-fall-for-it-don-jr-insinuates-alleged-attempt-to-burn-mlks-home-is-false-flag-op/

There's no excuse for these Nazis to be outside of prison.  How can anyone claim Hunter Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than these wastes of oxygen?
