This did not start with Trump. The signs of fascism ascendant in the Republican Party have been there forever. Nixon committed treason(Vietnam) to be elected in ‘68 & felonies in ‘72. Reagan committed treason (Iran) in ‘80. Bush I was a player in Iran Contra & Watergate who (1/?)

Most people knew RJ Mitte as Walt Jr. from Breaking Bad. Few knew what he went threw off camera.

His life was a fight from the day he was born.

He came into the world not breathing, and the lack of oxygen damaged his brain, leaving him with cerebral palsy. A few weeks later, he was adopted.

At 3, doctors put his legs in casts for six months. He spent the next 10 years in braces and therapy.

At school, other kids taunted him, shoved him and knocked him to the ground. He was beaten up more than once, and in one attack, they broke his hand.

When RJ was 11, his little sister was born. Not long after, his mother was hit by a car at a stop sign and left paralyzed for years.

At 13, he took on financial responsibility for the whole family. That same year, they moved to Los Angeles for his sister's acting work, and RJ started acting too.

In 2008, he was cast as Walt Jr. His own cerebral palsy was mild, so he had to learn to use crutches and slow down his speech for the role.

Behind the scenes, his business manager was stealing from him. Instead of paying his taxes, she sent him fake filings and kept the money for years.

He said he ended up paying more in taxes than he ever made from the show. It took him about 10 years to get out of debt.

Through it all, he kept supporting his mother and sister and spent his life fighting for people with disabilities.

The reason Grassley did this is so he can continue to raise and spend the money in his campaign coffers. Nearly every politician in Washington uses their campaign cash as a means to supplement their lifestyle and Grassley is no different.

Between his three campaign committees he spends about $20,400/month which he bills as various "consulting" endeavors. In reality these "consulting firms" pick up Grassley's travel/food/entertainment bills and this is how he reimburses them.

In order to access this money he has to be officially running for re-election.

They're all lying, grifting scumbags. Every last one of them. Grassley less so than many others but a greedy scumbag nonetheless.

A California mother pleaded guilty to involuntary mansl—ughter after 56-year-old Michael Dale suffocated during a fetish session she was filming for her OF account.

Michaela Rylaarsdam was reportedly paid $11,000 for the session, during which she allegedly wrapped Dale in plastic wrap, glued women’s boots onto him, and used adhesive to seal his eyes shut.

She reportedly filmed for four hours while Dale suffocated. When police arrived, they found him with a bag over his head.

Reports also stated that her husband knew about her activities and helped run her business.

Rylaarsdam faces a likely four-year prison sentence.

Bullshit

Periodic reminder that Obama played a key role in normalizing antisemitism within the Democratic Party by targeting Jewish critics of the Iran deal as dual loyalists who were buying influence. That he would embrace a Jew hater like El Sayed should surprise nobody.

Wild! Accused murderer requests physical demonstration at his own trial to prove he didn’t do it.

Then pauses and stares down the judge.

I've never seen anyone represent themselves so cleverly. Tomasz Kosowski is an evil genius. He may actually get away with it.
