gonna walk through a "muslim neighbourhood" with my boyfriend and get confronted by bellicose conservative muslims when i walk into one of their bars that conservative muslims own and run

Haven't you heard about Hamtramck, Michigan, breh? They're basically beheading Christians left and right over there!

Beheadings? Nah, not yet at least but there is this

In 2004 the city council voted unanimously to allow mosques to broadcast the adhan on public streets, making it one of the few U.S. cities to allow this to occur. Some individuals had strongly objected to the allowing of the adhan,[63] some continue to object. In 2015, some residents complained that they could hear the electronically amplified call to prayer inside their homes five times a day, with one of those daily times being at 6 A.M.[6]

The older you get the harder you have worked for your life, and you just wanna sit back and chill, enjoy shit. You don't want to deal with nonsense.

It's very tiring to grow up on third base, sometimes people think you hit a triple when you're just the pinch runner.

Man, if only there were a traditonal Christian analogue to this. I mean, I try to think of one, it seems familar, something about it rings a bell. Like multiple times a day even.

A senator inadvertently broke a glass elephant belonging to Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) after throwing a "talking stick" during bipartisan shutdown talks in her office, according to multiple reports.

Another senator present at the meeting told CNN that Collins presented the stick to the group to prevent interruptions during negotiations. Only the lawmaker holding the stick would be allowed to talk.

The senator told CNN that another lawmaker, who went unnamed in the report, was speaking with the stick when  a colleague interrupted. The lawmaker then “forcefully delivered” the stick across the room in response. The stick chipped the glass elephant, which was sitting on a shelf.

Politico reported that the senator in question was Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), who was tossing the stick to Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.).

After the stick-throwing incident, Collins replaced the stick with a small rubber basketball that another senator had jokingly brought, according to the reports. The incident was treated good-humoredly and all the senators laughed about it, CNN reported.

Not many towns in the United States still has this and it keeps shrinking everyday, not increasing. Again, that's a choice of what culture you want surrounding you.

Some of you are perfectly ok walking through a segregated town with women covered in drab.... as long as it isn't a republican town filled with white dudes in pickup trucks because then bring out the signs let's protest this shit!

We deserve to know the truth about what is likely the biggest scandal in American history.

There's so much information, there's so many players involved in all of this. Let me tie it together.

Hillary Clinton rigged the primary. If you’re a Bernie Sanders supporter, you should be pissed. Why you’re not, I don’t know.

Even though there is incontrovertible evidence that she broke the law, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Loretta lynch all put the fix in and allowed her to stay in this presidential race. They ignored the rule of law, the Constitution, and Clinton and the DNC that she control then spend over $12 million to influence the election with a bought-and-paid-for dossier full of Russian lies and propaganda that was shipped off to the compliant media. The Obama administration weaponized the powerful tools of intelligence that we need to keep our country safe, but in this case, they used it to target members of the Trump campaign.

This, so you understand, is so much bigger than Watergate. It’s about our Constitution, about the rule of law. It has been shredded. All because powerful people at the highest level in the DOJ and the FBI thought they knew better than you as to who should be president.

There needs to be serious ramifications if we are going to save our country in all of this. People must be held accountable, they must be investigated, they must be indicted, and probably many of them thrown in jail.

Mueller seeking to interview Trump is the signal that this investigation is coming to a close. Prediction: no findings of collusion. The Watergate scandal had a long trail of bodies leading up to the Nixon resignation.

Collusion is not a finding, so I think it’s guaranteed that that specific wording will not be in the report. I don’t know if there is enough evidence to prove a conspiracy or not, but it’s clear that there is enough evidence to think something was not on the up and up either way.

That said, during Watergate, there was basically the dudes who broke in that were arrested in the act, and then 7 dudes that were indicted all at once at the exact same date that the “unindicted coconspirator” was named. That was in March of 74. Then in April of 74 two more guys.

Basically, they arrested everybody at the same moment they pointed the finger at the President. I’m not saying that’s what will happened here, because this is different, but We are not even at the point yet where people in the administration were arrested during watergate.

Arguably, Trump has already committed obstruction on par with Nixon anyway. What they find out about the Russian Conspiracy is largely immaterial to whether or not further crimes have been committed. I highly suspect That we will see a few more heads roll before it’s all done. Sessions being a painfully obvious one, and possibly Kushner.

Edit: that said, trump,won’t resign and a Republican house won’t impeach him no matter what anyway. If the Dems win the house back they might impeach him, but also  will have endless house investigations of relatively juicy scandals around using the Presidency to enrich himself and his family. These things have largely went uninvestigated under the Republican House,

Almost 70 people were indicted during Watergate and 50 some of them found guilty...and 20 corporations.

Without knowing details of a case you can't use the Watergate timeline for anything except Watergate, the things Nixon White House officials were getting indicted for (and Nixon wasn't) in March 1974 were primarily things that happened after the first special prosecutors investigation started.

Within 4 months of Nixon's inauguration John Dean had been fired and two months later he was directly implicating the president in the Watergate burglarly. Ten days after that the FBI had possession of the memo which laid out in full detail the precise plan to burglarize on behalf of the president.

It is now near the end of this investigation and there is nothing even close to any of that.

Manafort's trial may not even start til September. So I'd suggest buckling in.

Special counsel investigations average roughly 900 days. We are at around 255. A little more if you tack on the FBI's investigation Mueller borrowed from. This is going to define his legacy. I suspect he didn't walk away from a 7 figure job to rush this shit and is aware of the historical grandeur of this moment.

It is now near the end of this investigation and there is nothing even close to any of that.

1) we really don’t know much about any of it.

2) we don’t really know it’s near the end. I do think that we are nearing the end of the Obstruction investigation, specifically, as news reports suggest that Mueller wants to talk about that with Trump, specifically, but there is no law, as far as I know,that says “Mueller can only interview each person one time”.

I suspect we will get a report about Obstruction one way or another, with any accompanying indictments that may or may not be served. I suspect then that Republicans will say “it’s over let’s wrap it up!”, but the probe will in fact not be over at all and it will keep grinding along.

It’s hard for me to imagine where Trump comes out of this lzooming better,  because no matter what happens there will be salacious details that paint him in a poor light. Either he just lies incessantly to the special prosecutor, some other people in the administration get indicted for whatever else, or new details come to light showing the depth of his attempt to obstruct or just his general buffoonery.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but that I can’t find that number with 10 minutes of Google fu. I see a number of 40 indictments that seems to be cited a few times from watergate.info, (which is a geocities-tier site), but can’t get names or dates for anyone outside of the 12 everybody knows about.

If they were arresting people weekly and it was in the news maybe Shasta’s point was relevant, but if these were all secret indictments that occurred right at the end, then I’m not sure he does.

every single apartment/house outside of the ridiculously expensive ones DO NOT HAVE SCREENS ON THE WINDOWS. This is a tropical area, that has suffered horrible plague outbreaks from mosquitos and yet NO SCREENS ON WINDOWS. Sure, you may think "well why does this matter? keep the windows closed and AC on" only that this entire country does not have centralized air because electricity is too expensive.

3rd most expensive energy costs in the world because why?

1. they depend on hydropower too often
2. taxes, taxes, taxes, too many fucking taxes
3. outdated, horrible grids they refuse to fix
4. tons of poor people do not pay for their electricity (like zero, they downright steal it)

He calls Islam “the scourge of Western civilization” and suggests that the United States would be better off if people of different races “voluntarily separate.”

Tom Kawczynski moved to Maine about a year ago and began New Albion, a group that declares those sentiments on its website, and promotes “traditional Western values emphasizing the positive aspects of our European heritage” in northern New England and Maritime Canada.

Kawczynski, 37, told the Bangor Daily News that he wants to preserve this region’s white majority and keep out Muslims, but rejected the idea that his views are racist, saying that people of different racial backgrounds are welcome in his movement as long as their culture is “rooted in Western civilization.”

"Watergate" was a subset of crimes within a larger investigation into the Nixon campaign. In fact, Cox's original mandate was even broader than Mueller's it was to investigate the Nixon campaign and determine if anyone attached to it ever committed any kind of violations. It had absolutely nothing to do specifically with the Watergate break-in.

Why the Watergate re-break-in blew up was because they got caught, they talked and identified the White House as behind it, and the second highest person in the FBI was leaking the entire investigation to the Washington Post.

The Nixon campaign apparatus was breaking laws left and right, the funny thing is that Nixon knew about most of it, he didn't seem to know about Watergate specifically until after they were arrested. Nixon was paranoid about Hunt spilling the stuff Nixon had specifically ordered (Ellsberg, etc.) that he knew about being on tape.

Jaworski didn't even stay on to handle the Watergate related trials he started, let alone the rest of the campaign prosecutions, he stepped down after Nixon resigned to avoid having to write the report on the investigation. His successor Henry Ruth was the one who obtained the tapes, then issued the 280 page report, which is one place you go can for a source indicating they obtained over 50 guilty pleas or convictions. He then stepped down too, the "Watergate" special prosecutors office went on for another two years, wrapping up in 1977 after issuing its final report.

They weren't "secret indictments" it's just that the media didn't give a shit because they had to do with the Nixon campaign's many violations, not the glamorous Watergate break-in being spoon fed through a sexy journalism masturbation session. The same media that hadn't given a shit when these things were happening during 1972 and a few were even reported on, but to call Nixon corrupt and involved in crimes, that's just the kooky conspiracy theory flailing of McGovern fanatics* and Communists!

*Like Hillary and Bill Clinton!

Interesting.

Back to Trump, I think even the stuff we know is going to look fairly damaging when repackaged by Mueller and joined with the public evidence of obstruction, as well as whatever Mueller learns from his interviews:

This email exchange:

When read chronologically, clearly shows the Trump campaign trying to collaborate with the Russian government for damaging information on Hillary. Whether you call it collusion, or a conspiracy, or chatting s bit with a hostile foreign government. If there is enough evidence to prove that a crime is committed, I’m not sure. I’m also not sure how much it will matter in the end.

The report will either say they committed a crime and tried to cover it up, OR they did something unsavory that was not technically criminal, but was embarrassing, and tried to cover it up by obstructing Justice
(Or committing actions that are technically not illegal because the President did them, but would be Obstruction if done by anybody else).  I don’t see how any other outcome is possible and these are all just different flavors of shit sandwich for the Trump administration.

What I don’t expect to  happenis a report that says, “everything they did was 100% on the up and up.”

The GOP will obfuscate and deflect but they will do that no matter what the outcome is. It will be either “no crime committed, so we’re in the clear” or “the only crime committed was Obstruction, but it doesn’t count because what they were Obstructing wasn’t a real crime” or “is collusion REALLY a crime? Hillary has done worse!”

But none of these are going to move Public perception much either way or change what Congress will do. That much is clear.

There is also the off-chance that the report will actually not finger Trunp directly, but take down a number of campaign surrogates, and donators that we’re funnelling Russian money into the campaign illegally (NRA folks and so on).

I would assume they're not even investigating the actions of the Obama Administration.

Let’s also not forget old Pap in all this. Seems like he has a story to tell that has yet to be heard by the public. That Mueller’s keeping close to his chest for now.

What with his fiancee out there comparing him to John Dean of Nixon fame. Not that that says a whole bunch, but I wanted to wedge that in there somewhere.

The bigger the 'deep state' push, the more salacious the findings of Mueller.

Beheadings? Nah, not yet at least but there is this

Quote
In 2004 the city council voted unanimously to allow mosques to broadcast the adhan on public streets, making it one of the few U.S. cities to allow this to occur. Some individuals had strongly objected to the allowing of the adhan,[63] some continue to object. In 2015, some residents complained that they could hear the electronically amplified call to prayer inside their homes five times a day, with one of those daily times being at 6 A.M.[6]

 :neogaf
Man, if only there were a traditonal Christian analogue to this. I mean, I try to think of one, it seems familar, something about it rings a bell. Like multiple times a day even.

Oh well, I'm sure it'll come to me in time.

Not many towns in the United States still has this and it keeps shrinking everyday, not increasing. Again, that's a choice of what culture you want surrounding you.

Some of you are perfectly ok walking through a segregated town with women covered in drab.... as long as it isn't a republican town filled with white dudes in pickup trucks because then bring out the signs let's protest this shit! They didn't wanna bake this gay couple a cake! MAKE THIS NATIONAL NEWS!

 :snoop

Every town with a church with a bell does this, which is almost literally every church in America, you sheltered mongoloid.

 There you have it folks, proof positive that known permavirgin Assy never leaves his moms basement

I wasn't going to bring him up because he was one of the good Georges, having assassinated notorious liberal traitor and future #MeToo target John F. Kennedy.

did some digging and found this photo:


Now most of you will recognize former President of Gabon Omar Bongo on the left there, but what's interesting is behind the two Presidents. The painting on the wall.

It's of George Washington.

I'm trying to do some digging into who exactly that is or was, but the deep state has covered its tracks pretty well aside from various alarming details here and there (like that he once held an opponents wife's hand in a jar of acid, at a party, and that he had like thirty goddamn dicks). One thing I have found out is that one of the generals in Washington's military was named, get this: George. Clinton.

So I've been listening to Mothership Connection on repeat but haven't discovered any more clues, I guess I'll have to wait for Hannity tonight.

got an anonymous tip to look into something called the "Declaration of Independence" because there was apparently a King George who had significant deep state ties involved in American politics, it's like how far back does this go?

Now, I know some of you are thinking "wow I've heard this story on the other channel, why is it being covered here?" Well, there's...more to the story. If you watched the other show you're familiar with the man in the painting, uhhh...George Washington to be specific. But I want you to look at this picture again. Notice anything else? *giggles* I mean, is there anything else in this picture, which no one has pointed out or discussed? Let me help a bit. Here is a uhhh...cropped version of the same picture.



Notice it now? It's Lucille Ball. Now, I know what you're thinking. Why is Lucille Ball in the White House in the early 2000s, and why might Robert Mueller want to know about it? But first, before we get there, I want you to think back a few years. To 1936 to be exact. A pretty good year. A pretty good year for cinema, too. In fact, the highest grossing film of 1936? Chaplin's Modern Times. I want you to watch this scene carefully and tell me what you notice.


Anything about that scene...stand out to you? I'll wait. *giggles* Ready? It probably reminds you of...another scene from a certain television show that was quite popular in the 1950s. Let's take a look.


Notice the similarity in the factory settings, manufacturing...means of production? Now let's go back to 1936. In 1936, Lucille Ball registered to vote in the United States for the first time, and joined the Communist Party. As we now know, Communism was a form of collusion practiced by Russia before social media was created. So now when we look back at that picture of President Bush in the early 2000s before Twitter and before Facebook, it's another indicator of just how far this plot goes, and how far Russia was willing to go to influence our political process. In less than two decades, Russia went from placing Lucille Ball in the White House to placing Donald Trump in the White House. More after the break.
