Never Surrender Until You Do
Author: Raine
Date: 09/04/2023 12:42:02
We were on vacation when it happened. TFG finally had his mugshot taken. And, right on brand, he started fundraising with it. He's been impeached twice and indicted four times (so far) so he decided to post this image after he surrendered to authorities in Atlanta.
But let's go back a few years, to the 'Before TFG years'.
There is no mugshot of Hillary Clinton. Until he surrendered to the Atlanta Jail, there was none for TFG. So, how are our 'friends' over at the former home to Tucker spinning this not-so-surprising turn of events? Let's start with who I assume is Thurston Howell V...
Even Tupac!! Oh, there is more. Jesse Watters is finding evidence too!
So, a Black lady and a garbage man, none of whom were interviewed on camera, is proof that Black people are going to start to give TFG a second look due to his 'gangstah street cred'. This is the racist stereotypical nonsense that conservative elite circles are feeding their viewers. They are telling their viewers that black people have an affinity for criminals.
Take note that they aren't talking about any of these mugshots. I wonder why.
But Hillary...

Remember when Jeanine Pirro, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, & Newt Gingrich were losing their minds over Hillary Clinton becoming president while under FBI investigation? Wanna compare with what they're saying now about Trump's indictments?

Watters: The mugshot has breathed new life into the Trump campaign and broadened his appeal to Black Americans… Today my garbage man told me he’s buying mugshot tee shirts for everyone for Christmas. pic.twitter.com/r5QQ0Cn5Cx

The trash at FOX "News" are alien bugs in flesh suits, aren't they?

As I posted on that date, here is what Mr. Trump's mugshot reminds me of.

Oh yes, and "Garbage Man" is quite an appropriate sobriquet for anyone buying a mugshot tee, so Fox probably wasn't that far off the mark on that one.

Good morning bloggers and Happy Labor Day!!!
I am no longer shocked at what Fox News and their ilk say to support TFG and like-minded individuals. It has never been about seeking justice or building a better country for all. Instead, it is supporting a power elite that seeks to convince a shrinking part of our populace that they are the victims of our society. (See Tucker Carlson's touting of "replacement theory" to see where the rhetoric is now and then see where similar rhetoric went in the not-so-distant past.)
I am not sure it is possible to start a dialog with people who use an entirely different set of "facts" that only support their views, whether or not their "facts" have any existence in our shared reality. Perhaps we are truly becoming the Divided States of America.
