The Rapist Is Also a Racist



Yes, undercover government investigators posed as potential tenants to test for racial discrimination at Trump Organization properties. Those who were white were given their choice of apartments to rent, while those who were Black or Puerto Rican were turned away.

Bay Scallops on the OptiGrill


I got this from the AI Chat Bot, Copilot on Windows.


Ingredients:

1 pound bay scallops

2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Optional: minced garlic, lemon juice, fresh herbs like parsley or thyme



Preheat the OptiGrill XL: 


Turn on the OptiGrill XL and set it to manual mode with medium-high heat. Let it preheat for a few minutes.


Prepare the Scallops: 


Rinse the bay scallops under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Dry scallops sear better and have a nicer texture.



Season the Scallops: 


Toss the scallops in olive oil or melted butter. Season with salt and pepper. You can also add minced garlic or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.


Grill the Scallops:


Place on the Grill: Arrange the scallops in a single layer on the preheated grill. Make sure they are not overcrowded.


Cook Time: Close the grill lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes, depending on their size. Bay scallops cook quickly and should be opaque and firm when done.


Finish and Serve:


If you want a bit of extra color and flavor, you can cook them for an additional 30 seconds with the lid open.


Once cooked, remove the scallops from the grill. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.


Tips:


To add a bit of a char, you can increase the heat slightly during the last minute of cooking.


Serve the scallops over pasta, rice, or alongside a fresh salad.


Pair with a light white wine sauce or a squeeze of lemon for extra zest.


Enjoy your perfectly grilled bay scallops! - Source:  Copilot

Ten Former Secretaries of Defense: Involving Military in Elections - Dangerous - Unlawful

Ashton Carter, Dick Cheney, William Cohen, Mark Esper, Robert Gates, Chuck Hagel, James Mattis, Leon Panetta, William Perry and Donald Rumsfeld are the 10 living former U.S. secretaries of defense.


\All ten of these living former defense secretaries signed a letter on January 3, 2021, calling for the peaceful transfer of power without involving the military. Does anyone suppose the felon in chief gave a damn? From their signed letter published in the Washington Post:

Our elections have occurred. Recounts and audits have been conducted. Appropriate challenges have been addressed by the courts. Governors have certified the results. And the electoral college has voted. The time for questioning the results has passed; the time for the formal counting of the electoral college votes, as prescribed in the Constitution and statute, has arrived. 

[snip] 

Efforts to involve the U.S. armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory. 

 [snip] 

We call upon them, in the strongest terms, to do as so many generations of Americans have done before them. This final action is in keeping with the highest traditions and professionalism of the U.S. armed forces, and the history of democratic transition in our great country.


Try to imagine Trump's current nominee, Pete Hegseth, signing such a letter.

Trump: Blacks Are Lazy

From: Politico's "The 15 most offensive things that have come out of Trump's Mouth"

 “I have black guys counting my money. … I hate it,” Trump told John R. O’Donnell, the former president of Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino, according O’Donnell’s account in his 1991 book “Trumped!” “The only guys I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes all day.”

Trump, according to O’Donnell, went on to say, “‘Laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that.”

Five Hundred Whoppers in One Day


On the day before the election, the rapist told FIVE-HUNDRED THREE false or misleading claims. That's ONE DAY.



Suspected HUC CEO Shooter Wings to the Right


"His X account is rife with mostly right-leaning, slightly nihilistic, tech bro-y takes concerning AI, mental health, altruism, ancient history, and society in general. Mangione follows Ezra Klein, Sam Altman, AOC, Edward Snowden, and Robert F. Kennedy, among others."

'Apprentice' Staffer Noel Casler Accuses Donald Trump of Drug Use and Inappropriate Behavior

 

From people.com - 

 “I worked on a bunch of those beauty pageants he had in the ’90s, too. That was a good idea, Miss Teen Universe? Yeah, that’s like giving Jeffrey Dahmer a cooking show,” he said. 

“He would line up the girls on the side of the stage, and he would inspect them. Literally, he would stick his little freaking doll fingers in their mouth and look at their teeth.”  - Noel Casler - Former "Apprentice" Staffer

Jury's Decision in Carroll Case Explained by Judge


Did Donald Trump rape E Jean Carroll?  The judge stated in his ruling that indeed, the jury DID conclude he raped her. The fact is Carroll testified that Trump raped her.
‘Donald Trump raped me and when I wrote about it, he said it didn’t happen’
https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/26/politics/e-jean-carroll-trump-lawsuit-testimony/index.html 

So, did he rape her? Some say that the ONLY way the jury could have found in her favor was if it indeed DID agree that he raped her. There really is no other way to look at it. 

According to the presiding judge, that is just what the jury did. It concluded that Trump DID rape E Jean Carroll. We know that then, of course, Trump lied about it and defamed Carroll. Here's a bit about the judge's take on the case. The headline reads: 
"Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll." 
Who knows more about Trump's raping Carroll?  Those who heard NONE of the testimony? Or the judge and jury, who heard it all? 

He raped her.
__________________________________________________

"He clarified that the jury found that the former president did indeed “rape” Carroll based on the common definition of the word."
