Nowadays, if they publish a photo of cadets, it is always blacks and Latinos in front, gay- and lesbian-looking cadets in the near front, then if, perish the thought, there is a blue-eyed blond, he will be barely visible in the back.

Anyhoo… dude is racist AF. Went on a really long rant about how in his day West Point put the tall people in front and sides of parades, and now it’s people of color.

‘The king has been dethroned’: Stormy Daniels speaks on Trump indictment
The adult film star sat down with Piers Morgan for 1.5 hours, saying the former president should be ‘held accountable’

In her first major interview since Donald Trump’s indictment, Stormy Daniels has said that while she wants the former president to be “held accountable” she doesn’t believe he should go to prison.

“I don’t think that his crimes against me are worthy of incarceration. I feel like the other things that he has done, if he is found guilty, absolutely,” Daniels, 44, said in an interview with Fox Nation’s Piers Morgan released on Thursday.

Daniels sat down with Morgan for a 1.5 hour interview, which she called her most extensive yet. She thanked people for “love and support” in a tweet, saying that the segment “laid to rest a lot of misinformation”.

When asked by Morgan how it felt to see Trump appear in court, Daniels said she was “shocked”. “I thought he was going to get away with not being accountable,” she said.


“The king has been dethroned – he’s no longer untouchable,” she said. “Nobody should be untouchable, doesn’t matter what your job description is – whether you’re the president – you should be held responsible for your actions.”

Daniels, who postponed the original timing of her interview with Morgan last week citing “security concerns”, said she was also regularly receiving threats. She told Morgan that one in ten messages she gets now are death threats, and that the tone has become increasingly violent.

I was curious about this guy. Turns out we have a facebook friend in common. I don’t know how they know each other, but dude went to West Point and so did my friend.

Anyhoo… dude is racist AF. Went on a really long rant about how in his day West Point put the tall people in front and sides of parades, and now it’s people of color.

He also said,

So riddle me this: how does one identify a “gay- and lesbian-looking cadet”? They’d all be in uniform and it’s unlikely they’re wearing a sign.

What an asshole.

The hearing, the Committee advertises, "will examine how Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's pro-crime, anti-victim policies have led to an increase in violent crime and a dangerous community for New York City residents."

But in a statement put out by a spokesperson in his office later that day and posted to Twitter, Bragg clapped back, pointing out that violent crime in New York is actually down since he took office — and lower than in major cities in Jordan's own home state.

I’m willing to bet that whatever it is, it will be comical, result in nothing, and backfire on him.

House Democrats plan to attempt a counteroffensive for a Monday congressional hearing in Manhattan during which Republicans are expected to criticize and question the credibility of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

The hearing comes just two weeks after a grand jury charged former President Donald Trump, a Republican, with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments, in a case brought by Bragg. Trump has pleaded not guilty. Some Republicans have accused Bragg, a Democrat, of political motives in bringing the criminal charges.

The House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, is planning the field hearing for Monday at Manhattan's Jacob K. Javits Federal Building. A statement from Judiciary Committee Republicans said the hearing "will examine how Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's pro-crime, anti-victim policies have led to an increase in violent crime and a dangerous community for New York City residents.
