Not a word from Republicans.

So NOW you care about mortgage fraud?  

[Hardcore troubadour 15,588]

First I heard about it. He needs to explain himself and pay the piper if he’s found liable. Next.

Exactly. You dont hear any republicans defending him. Not one word. Excellent point for once Ron.

The point, Jonny Utah, is that this isn't about mortgage fraud, never was.  It is about Trump trying to oust her to control the federal reserve.  It's political corruption.

Which is exactly what NY did with Trump, yet you didn't say a f'n word you dumb m'fer.

So just admit you're OK with railroading people as long as it's your side doing it.  GFY.

Not sure how you pointing out that republicans aren't defending a state governor makes this not about mortgage fraud? 

I mean we should all complain about the fed governor committing mortgage fraud or being stupid. That affects all of us. Strangely enough democrats are defending her, which is noteworthy. 

And none of us should defend a state governor doing that. 

And we arent. 

I think maybe you need to rethink what you are trying to say.

It's apparent I need to spell this out for you.  Trump is saying Cook should be fired for alleged mortgage fraud.  This is a lie.  He wants her gone so he can control the fed.  Further evidenced by the fact that he's not calling for Paxton to drop out of the senate race based on the same allegation.

Today’s hero: Dani Parent, West Virginia: 

https://www.theintermountain.com/news/local-news/2025/08/aclu-wv-citizens-action-group-file-lawsuit-to-halt-national-guard-deployment-to-washington-d-c/

She is the executive director of the West Virginia ACLU, which has fired a lawsuit attempting to prevent that state from participating in Trump’s unlawful request for national guard troops sent to Washington DC. 

Agreed, but only a little. There needs to be a an added step associated. Better to allow these people to keep killing each other rather than sticking them in prison and having to fund their stay there.

Thing is, these murderers and rapists and thieves should not be allowed into the good neighborhoods and ruining decent people's lives.

So he cant stop somebody from running for senate...

I know by law, he should fire a fed reserve governor that commits mortgage fraud or is completely incompetent re: mortgages. So it makes sense that happened. 

He cant, by law, stop somebody from running for senate. So again, I dont think you are making any sense here because it seems like you are trying to say otherwise. 

Could you perhaps take some time and refine your argument? I know the first of the month is hard on you though(Nausea, Diarrhea, Headache, Fatigue, Stomach pain, Weight loss, Dizziness, and Insomnia) So feel free to wait a few days.

Lisa Cook is going to stay in the news for a while and she certainly is a hero, no question. But we need to move on in this thread. Today’s new heroes are: 

The CDC senior officials who resigned: 

https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/senior-cdc-officials-resign-after-monarez-ouster-cite-concerns-over-scientific-independence/

These people have demonstrated scientific integrity in the face of RFK’s crackpot pressure.

Well I tried.

If you want to change the argument about what Trump can or can't do, he can have him charged with mortgage fraud, but we both know that won't happen.   I'll let you guess why.

Bump for tim.

In the link there arent any republicans defending him. If you think Ron is lying when he says "not a word from republicans" you should address that with Ron.

I know you are like totally all about 100% truthful discussion. Some people might think your style of posting is like a little kid nitpicking his parents. Like this one time the nighbors told their kid to never ride a bike without a helmet and he was like never? And they were like never!!! And then he was like what if i was being chased by a meanie pants and I could hop on my bike and get away, but if I stopped to put my helmet on then I would get killed? 

But they just dont understand you.

Wrong Tim but the point here is that Trump could have demanded Paxton’s resignation long since. But he hasn’t and he won’t since Paxton is a close ally. Expect Trump to endorse Paxton in his race for senator next year. Trump has a long record of ignoring these sorts of issues both when it comes to himself and those he supports. Remember that he even endorsed the guy running for Alabama senate after he was credibly accused of pedophilia, and also continued to endorse Herschel Walker after his scandals emerged.

You’re the one that called him out first.  Are any prominent Republicans saying he should resign as AG or drop out of his Senate race?

Liberals are funny. They claim the prisons are full of poor innocent minorities. But the 30 year old accusation with no evidence but one whack jobs testimony is gospel. Only juries full of racists get it wrong.  

[EternalShinyAndChrome 4,259]

the people who resigned are pure partisans.  Them resigning in no way proves anything other than their pure partisanship.

They are not heroes, but simply errand boys for the Democrat party.

Yeah I don’t feel that way about prisons. I live in Louisiana. My problem with people like Trump - a convicted felon btw - is they act all tough on crime then stick the states with the bill. All while cutting back federal enforcement on international crime orgs, cartels, firearms, drugs, and public corruption. It’s a joke.

Yeah, that's what kangaroo courts do when they have to make up charges to get him.  That's literally what happened.  they had to pass a quick law in order to start charging him.

I didnt call him out. I praised him. He pointed out that republicans werent defending paxton. 

I thought that was really solid commentary by him. 

"Not a word"

I dont understand, i thought he didnt have that authority over Paxton. I know you are like some super smart history guy. Are you saying that trump could fire paxton like he can fire that black DEI fatty? I would trust you if thats what's you are saying. I mean you have forgotten more about this stuff than we have ever known.

In your case yes.

You obviously didn’t understand  what I wrote, which again demonstrates your intellectual limitations. I never said he could fire Paxton. I wrote he could have called on Paxton to resign. 
 

You’re not good at this. You’re not smart at this. Witness that the only guys here that cheer you on are collectively even dumber than you are. No doubt they will do so again but it’s not a good recommendation.

Well the other thing to keep in mind about Paxton that could be preventing some people from publicly supporting him is that he seems to be an overall piece of shiz, who despite not having to officially admit wrongdoing, has been formally accused of lots of shady stuff and has agreed to settlements for some of them. And most recently his wife (a state Senator herself) publicly announced she was divorcing him because of his infidelity.
