-Lurid Crime Tales-
Another Potential Conflict of Interest for Judge Merchan
[PJM] Judge Juan Merchan, the Biden-donor judge presiding over Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York City, hasn’t exactly been shy about his anti-Trump bias. He has taken any opportunity he could to stack the deck against Trump, and Trump, for his part, hasn’t been shy about calling out Merchan’s bias.

Trump also pointed out that Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a Democrat operative who has even worked for the Biden-Harris campaign and has been working to destroy Trump while also profiting off of the ongoing trial.

Despite ample conflicts of interest that should have seen Judge Merchan taken off the case, we have now learned that Loren Merchan also assisted the effort to kick Donald Trump off the ballot in Colorado.

-Great Cultural Revolution
Rep. Jamaal "Fire Marshal" Bowman says ‘From the river to the sea' chant isn't hate speech during debate
[NY Post] Rep. Jamaal Bowman insisted the phrase “From the river to the sea” — which implies the destruction of Israel — isn’t hateful during a high-stakes debate Monday night.

The two-term congressman defended anti-Israel protesters who use the controversial phrase, despite the Anti-Defamation League’s criticism that is calls for the annihilation of the Jewish state.

“I know some do, others don’t, I do not,” Bowman (D-NY) said in response to a question from an audience member at Monday’s News 12 debate against Westchester County Executive George Latimer ahead of June’s Democratic primary.

Meanwhile, Latimer offered a sharp contrast to Bowman’s brief assessment.

“I think it is hate speech because I think it’s clear that ‘From the river to the sea’ has meant specifically the eradication of the Jewish population from the land of Israel,” Latimer said. Latimer, 70, also said some young protesters might be parroting the phrase while not understanding its meaning.

“What’s behind the marketing campaign that’s being advanced is to try to delegitimize Israel and that there be a free Palestine is a hopeful sign, but it has to accept the fact that there is an Israel there as well,” he said.

Bowman, 48, made clear earlier in the debate that he believes in Israel’s right to exist and wants a two-state solution. Latimer has also said he agrees with a two-state solution.

The two sparred for nearly 60 minutes during the local television debate, during which sparks flew at times.

#1  How does he classify "Bell Curve"?

#2  He is such a lying chump.

#3  ...he believes in Israel’s right to exist and wants a two-state solution.

He's too f'n stupid to realize these two things are mutually exclusive.

#4  Not hate speech, just speech endorsing and promoting genocide.

#5  Then we're agreed: Palestinians wiped out from river to sea.

#7  Latimer is a rotten leftist also but is not a vile lying scum like Bowman.

Of course they are both D.

#8  The correct answer is "From the river to the Sea, Israel will be free and HamAss will be dead."

#2  I would rather they are just banned from import and use in the US. They catch fire so often they could be considered a physical attack on the US.
Posted by: DarthVader || 05/14/2024 9:48 Comments || Top||

#3  I thought Trump’s tariffs were supposed to be bad.
Posted by: Super Hose || 05/14/2024 11:16 Comments || Top||

#4  Bad, of course. Because Trump.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 05/14/2024 11:17 Comments || Top||

#5  "China has already criticized the plans, which were signaled in advance."

So, the tariffs were pre-coordinated.

#6  But I thought electric cars were an absolute necessity to save the planet? Or maybe not?

#7  I guess not.

Illegal migrants are being 'encouraged' to vote, top Republican warns after shocking documents...
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] … reveals 'training' for noncitizens to cast ballots in Washington D.C.

#1  Political system is, IMO, just a clothing that a Nation wears. Sometimes, old clothing no longer fit.

#2  The immigrants are pawns. There is a RICO case in the organization that is promoting the illegal activity. The opened up the RICO door. File the case in rural Texas.

#3  Try voting in any other country illegally and see what happens, FAFO.

#4  Well of course they are. Why do you think Biden let them into our country?

Biden to hold star-studded fundraiser featuring George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Obama
[NYPOST] President Biden is set to host a celebrity-filled Los Angeles fundraiser in June — enlisting stars such as George Clooney and Julia Roberts
…neither of whom is known for the density of their brain matter…
to help him try to make the case for the 81-year-old’s re-election bid.

Former President Barack Obama
My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it...
, Biden’s old boss, also will be a featured guest as well as "other top surrogates and supporters," a Biden campaign official told The Post.

In addition to their fundraiser appearance, Clooney, 63, and Roberts, 56, will be participating in a "contest" as part of the campaign, which will be blasted out on "social media, digital advertisements, and emails and text messages" to engage grassroots donors, according to the Biden re-election official.

#1  Joe can get better attendance at a fundraiser than he can at a rally.

#2  Clooney and Roberts are perhaps not as far past their prime as Biden.

#4  ..and basically a hand puppet for "fundamental transformation" Obama.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 05/14/2024 14:45 Comments || Top||

#5  A contest for grassroots donors? You mean like games for people who are going hungry?
Posted by: swksvolFF || 05/14/2024 14:56 Comments || Top||

#6  Biden is a hand puppet being operated by Obama who is a hand puppet of a person or people that we can only speculate about. They are like Russian nesting dolls. Calling Obama the puppet master is to fundamentally misunderstand his bio. Obama was as much a politician as Jeffery Epstein was a hedge fund investor.

#7  Clooney: "Next up, send me five pictures of 10 year old boys."

Roberts: "Oh, like a scavenger hunt!?"

Clooney: "......yeah.."

#9  I am so tired of these holy actors. Along with crap anti American Netflikers studios. Pirate their movies. Not a dime more! That being said, there is no substitute for a good theater and a bucket of popcorn.


With the proper popup blockers and so on I found cinezone.to to be a rather useful protest.
