Very proud of Rookie Rusty now looking like a sophomore. He knows not to give in to the mean bullies on the left who tell him he should act a certain way because of his skin color. That is the definition of racism and is just as bad as slavery, or even worse (he didn't have a choice in this!).

My thoughts and prayers are with Rusty and Tomi. I hope she can forgive him for being seen with a black woman and understand that he only did it because of the vast racism and pressure he felt from liberal elites. I fear the deep state is behind this but I know Sophomore Rusty will do the White thing.

Spoiler

"Do the White thing" is a 1990s movie directed by Spike Lee and starring Woody Harrelson as Billy Hoyle, an aging street cat trying to regain his glory on the basketball courts but he struggles with intense racism as he is constantly referred to as a "straight white male" by members of his community.

Rusty is a true Coalrade fellas. We banned his from all Coal Gang functions and then he immediately goes out and finds the most conservative people and takes pics with them to prove he's ALL IN. AMAZING. LIBS just lost their secret weapon.

Haven't trusted Van since he said Trump looked like a real president after he did some obviously empty ****. But we're truly in bizarro world when a youtube nutjob like Candace can share the same space as white house personnel.

Van Jones has been suspect for a while now, but I remember when the right-wing hated his *** because he was an Obama adviser for a bit.

They put so much effort into negative things to restrict people. Have they never thought of trying to serve the people well first?

That's too much work for these clowns.

Public servants not serving the public.

 

[blastercombo]

And exactly how does this benefit anything exactly? What’s the positive spin?

 

[jimmypiff]

I dont see this bill making it very far, what a shameless display of voter suppression. Literally hitting college kids where it hurts. Their pockets.

I do find it amusing that the GOPs desperation seems to have amplified since Pennsylvania lol

 

[flacobey]

Undergrad, yeah.

No way they were letting my *** into the PhD program with the grades I had. And the Masters Program had not been established yet when I was looking to back to school. Great professors though, welp at least the ones I had.

What did you get your bachelors in?

Cool, I got mine in Econ as well. I graduated in 15’.

Note that Mueller has issued a number of subpoenas to close associates of Roger Stone like Sam Nunberg and that other associate who got subpoenaed as recently as last week I believe. As we know from Nunberg's subpoena, Mueller has previously sought for documents relating to Roger Stone.
Stone is a scumbag to say the least but he knows what he's doing. Him saying it wouldn't be inconceivable if Mueller conjures up some crimes to charge Stone with implies to me that he suspects he will be charged with something. With a remark like this he's already laying down an excuse/defense plan if he were to be indicted of anything.
Sidenote, I would highly recommend the "Get me Roger Stone" documentary on Netflix. I thought it was very interesting and it gave me more of an idea of who Roger Stone is. He's as dirty and sleazy as they come but there's a reason he has evaded scrutiny all these years.

Roger Stone 'prepared' for Mueller indictment
The longtime Trump ally said Mueller may try to 'conjure up' charges against him.

Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative and ally of President Donald Trump, said Sunday he is “prepared” to be indicted as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation if that’s where the probe leads.

“I am prepared should that be the case,” Stone said on "Meet The Press" after being asked if he was ready for a possible indictment. “But I think it just demonstrates, again, this was supposed to be about Russian collusion, and it appears to be an effort to silence or punish the president’s supporters and his advocates.”



Stone reiterated that he felt Mueller’s team has found “no evidence whatsoever of Russian collusion,” so he speculated that they may work to connect him to other crimes instead.

“It is not inconceivable now that Mr. Mueller and his team may seek to conjure up some extraneous crime pertaining to my business, or maybe not even pertaining to the 2016 election,” Stone said. “I would chalk this up to an effort to silence me.”

Mueller’s team has not yet drawn any public conclusions or filed any charges related to whether there was coordination between associates of the Trump campaign and Russian attempts to try to interfere with the 2016 election.

Stone also added that neither he nor his lawyer have been contacted yet by the special counsel’s office, and he’s unsure whether they consider him "an interesting person or a person of interest."


Associates of Stone's have been subpoenaed by Mueller's team, however. Stone said Sunday that eight of his either current or former associates have been "terrorized" by the investigation.

Stone on Sunday continued to deny any involvement with Russia or Wikileaks, the site that released Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s hacked emails throughout the 2016 campaign — topics that the president also hammered on in a series of tweets Sunday morning.

Stone said he "had no advance notice of the content, source, or the exact disclosure time of the Wikileaks disclosures," similar to language that he has used before, and he said that his tweets like the one predicting Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will deliver "a devastating expose of Hillary" were based on public statements from Assange that were accessible to anyone.

Following Stone’s interview, Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, alleged that Stone has not been forthcoming.


"Roger Stone is known for a lot of things, candor isn’t really one of them," Schiff said during an interview on "Meet The Press." "Either his testimony before our committee was untrue, our his public statements are untrue. Both cannot be fact because they’re inconsistent with each other. We were never allowed to find out which was the case in our committee."

The Republican-led House Intelligence Committee closed its investigation into Russian attempts to interfere with the 2016 election in April, but the Senate Intelligence Committee and Special Counsel Robert Mueller still continue to move forward with their investigations.

Mueller issues grand jury subpoenas to Trump adviser's social media consultant
U.S. Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller has issued two subpoenas to a social media expert who worked for longtime Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone during the 2016 presidential election campaign.

The subpoenas were delivered late last week to lawyers representing Jason Sullivan, a social media and Twitter specialist Stone hired to work for an independent political action committee he set up to support Trump, Knut Johnson, a lawyer for Sullivan, told Reuters on Tuesday.
