(55,894 posts)the newsfeed from my game "friends". I only use Facebook to play a few games and thus must friend a number of people I don't know in RL. Usually I just ignore the low level goofy-crap but these last few months it's been escalating horribly and I'm having to delete a couple of people a week.
It doesn't bother me if someone posts something policy-related. It bothers me when it's idiotic name calling, conspiracy theory drivel or thinly veiled bigotry.

Life is too short to have to scroll past such blatant stupidity and hatred.

(8,998 posts)Its beyond belief that he is not incarcerated by now.
His lawyers must be working overtime (possibly getting paid, as even he would not dare to stiff those guys).
Bondi is a complete criminal.
Meanwhile has HRC coughed lately?

A complaint has been filed with the Department of Justices Civil Rights Division against Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump over allegations that Trump bribed Bondi to get her drop an investigation into Trump University.
The complaint filed by the Democratic Coalition Against Trump asks for a DOJ investigation into Trump and Bondi, The complaint read: We believe that Pam Bondi, Florida Attorney General, and Donald Trump have violated federal voting laws including but not limited to bribery across state lines by way of a $25,000 campaign contribution from Trump to Bondi during her 2013 election by way of the Trump Foundation in return for AG Bondi dropping an investigation into Trump University. We ask the DOJ to investigate this matter and appreciate their rapid response. Thank you.
Calls for a criminal probe are growing on both the left and the right. Conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin of The Washington Post asked why Trump wasnt already under investigation for bribery.
Rubin wrote, One cannot miss the giant red flag. Why is a charity giving money to aid a pol with whom the foundations head has pending legal business? Recall that after the gift was received an official act occurred, the very act Trump had been seeking, namely the decision not to proceed with the case against Trump University. Right there you have a prima facie case of bribery a payment (an illegal one at that) and a quid pro quo.

(8,964 posts)This is a very effective ad that pulls no punches, until the very end that is. Despite the "pay-to-play" declaration which is certainly part of the story, this particular sequence of events also points to a more serious bribery category, with plenty of quids, pros, and quos to corroborate. At any rate, I would hope that Florida media market gets especially heavy rotation with this one.

But not Trumpy. It just keeps going and going...
I hope this doesn't become the new normal for republicans running for office.
What will it take to force the media out of the Trump-trance they seem to have fallen into?
