Nancy Pelosi Military Tribunal 👇 Part II
Tumblr media
After Mr. Ramirez left the witness box, Vice Adm. Crandall produced a second witness via a Zoom call, a Hispanic female who said her name was Elsa Fuentes and told the court she had been Pelosi’s unpaid intern between January-March 2018. Her appearance on video seemed to unnerve Pelosi, whose eyes narrowed contemptuously while gazing at the woman’s face on the screen. The admiral asked Ms. Fuentes a few routine questions: How did you become interested in politics? what were your routine duties? Did you enjoy the work? Was the environment pleasant? Did you enjoy Nancy’s company?
“I hated the bitch by day 2. My duties? Arranging her calendar, setting up appointments, cancelling appointments, fetching coffee and cappuccino, cleaning her office, taking her clothes to the dry cleaners, picking up her clothes from the dry cleaners, making her hair appointments, running to the liquor store for her twice a week…” Ms. Fuentes said.
“You sound a bit bitter,” Vice Adm. Crandall said. “Is it safe to say bitterness won’t affect your testimony?”
“Just cause she’s a bitch don’t mean I’d lie,” Ms. Fuentes said. “If I’m angry, was angry, it’s cause I knew interns for other Reps weren’t doing the sh—stuff I had to do. And most Reps paid interns, but Nancy didn’t. Hi, there, Nancy, good to see you’re finally where you belong,” she went on, suddenly smiling as she vigorously waved at the defendant.
Vice Adm. Crandall asked her to not address or incite the defendant. Meanwhile, Nancy sat still as a puddle of stagnant water.
“Let me pull your attention back to what you told me when you gave a sworn deposition, Ms. Fuentes. The day–March 10, 2018. You were in Nancy Pelosi’s offices then, is that correct?” asked the admiral.
“I was,” Ms. Fuentes answered without hesitation. “I remember cause Nancy kept me late doing spreadsheets and transcriptions, and other reasons.”
“And Nancy was present?”
“She was in her office and I was in what we called the side office. More like a large closet than an office, where secretaries or interns sit. A door connects the two, and it wasn’t really ever locked or closed all the way. I think Nancy probably wanted to eavesdrop, you understand, in case we were talking about her,” Ms. Fuentes said.
“Let’s refrain from speculation please, Ms. Fuentes.”
“Sorry, sir. Anyway, I overheard her on the phone talking to someone—no idea who it was—about killing President Trump. She was saying she didn’t care how much money it took. She wanted him dead. Nancy was spitting out large figures—like millions,” Ms. Fuentes said.
“Was there anyone in the offices besides you and the defendant?” Vice Adm. Crandall asked.
“Just us two. She was talking on a burner phone. Nancy didn’t conduct unofficial business on her office phone. She had a drawer full of burners,” Ms. Fuentes said.
“Let the record reflect that by burners the witness means, generally speaking, inexpensive, expendable, untraceable cellular phones paid for with cash. Do you recognize this?” asked the admiral, as he pulled from a cardboard box a plastic evidence bag holding the upper and lower halves of a prepaid phone someone had snapped in two.
“Of course, I do. I gave it to you,” Ms. Fuentes replied.
“How did you come to obtain this phone?” the admiral queried.
“Took it from her trash bin before I left that night. She’d left first,” Ms. Fuentes said flatly.
“Pretty bold of you and foolish of her, to just drop it in a wastebasket. Weren’t you worried she’d find out?”
Ms. Fuentes said Nancy that day had consumed a half-bottle of Smirnoff Vodka and was inebriated beyond comprehension when she stumbled out of the office at 8:30 p.m. Moreover, she said she’d covered her tracks: She proudly boasted how she had taken an identical, unopened burner phone from Pelosi’s drawer, broke it in a way the closely mimicked how Nancy had snapped the original, and laid it in the trash.
“When I got to the office next day, the trash had been emptied. Not a word was ever said,” she said.
“And you held onto it for what, almost five years now?” Vice Adm. Crandall said.
Ms. Fuentes nodded. “I wasn’t gonna hand it off to just anyone. Then I might have, you know, disappeared.
“Ms. Fuentes, I don’t think that’s anything to worry about anymore. You’re excused.”
The admiral told the panel that despite Pelosi’s pedestrian attempt to render the phone useless—she hadn’t even removed the sim card—from it JAG had extracted call logs and dozens of incriminating text messages that described not only assassinating President Trump but also her plan to “kidnap or get rid of” Trump’s then-12-year-old son Barron. Part of a message read, “ASAP. Take Barron and Trump won’t function. He’ll have to leave, and then I’ll have Pence. Wiring now to what’s been discussed.”
Another message: “Or Ivanka. Make her less pretty.”
“Of course her messages were sent to another burner phone—disconnected, but—” Vice Admiral Crandall began.
Nancy stood. She spoke. She said she was innocent. Innocent with an explanation. “It’s no secret I dislike Donald Trump. This is all fantasy—my fantasy, and fantasy is no crime. It was role play. Nothing more,” she hissed.
“We have your bank records. You wired $375K to an account in Zurich minutes after you sent that text. Ben Folds—a fake name, I’m sure. That’s a hefty sum to spend on role play, for someone who wouldn’t even pay her interns a dime,” Vice Adm. Crandall said.
“Your so-called witnesses are compromised, corrupt. I won’t stand for this.”
“Then please take your seat, or we’ll put you in it,” the admiral snapped as two Marines flanked Pelosi. “By the way, I think you got ripped off.”
“I’m sure you won’t like our next witness either,” the admiral continued.
He called to the stand a cooperating witness–Nancy’s estranged husband, Paul Pelosi.
As Soon as I get more I will post it.🤔

What the actual fuck.
"On CNN, the former House speaker, a California Democrat, told Dana Bash that the "call for a cease-fire is [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's message" and said she thinks some of the protests that have erupted across the U.S. since October to demand the U.S. push for an end to Israel's killing of civilians in Gaza "are connected to Russia.""

"Biden isn't to blame!"
For reference:
Tumblr media
"This is happening under Biden" is still relevant, even if the Supreme Court is the one overturning Roe v Wade.
Biden and Corporate democrats could pass a federal law guaranteeing abortion rights to everyone in the country today. There are such bills already written and proposed; it's actually fairly standard in Democrat and Left-wing circles to draft them, multiple versions of them, each and every congress so that democratic politicians can go back to their districts and say "I sponsored a bill to guarantee abortion rights".
Let's be clear.
It is Fully within the ability of Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi to pass such a bill if they ditched the filibuster (which they already have said they will not do and will not consider doing).
Everyone on the entire fucking planet knows that with the filibuster in place and unchanged you'll never get a fucking abortion bill passed. You'd have to have at least 12 people change their vote to get it done.
12, because Joe Fucking Manchin and Bob Casey are anti-abortion. (Spoiler Alert: So is former VP candidate Tim Kaine)
Instead they posture and pout and will raise noise, and they will not mention that they know they will not do anything about it, because they don't care and they make far too much money
Tumblr media
By pretending to care, but if they actually fixed it they couldn't actually keep raking in easy cash. They don't actually care, and they've caved to right-wing religious theocrats and bigots years ago.
Tumblr media
“This is the Democratic Party. This is not a rubber-stamp party,” Pelosi said. She added, as Sanders implied in January, that abortion access isn’t a central part of Democratic ideology
Save your money. Don't donate to these fucking deranged, detached lunatics. They're more than happy to go to Met Galas literally while almost 200 million americans are losing their reproductive rights.

had someone i was mutuals with a few years ago dm me to say how disappointed they were that i'm not going to vote for joe biden. said i'd fallen for a psyop, and they expected better from me
not gonna get into how I decided not to vote for biden through irl conversations with leftists i know and some white liberal I haven't had a conversation with in i don't know how long is not gonna change that
i want to talk about parasocial relationships. bc someone doesn't have to be famous for you to be in a parasocial relationship with them, any kind of social media following relationship does also fit this label
even if we have talked recently, even if we are mutuals, your expectations of me are not my responsibility. I don't owe you anything. I owe it to myself to live truthfully and follow my own moral code.
and trying to leverage your perception against someone you DON'T KNOW, someone you do not have a reciprocal relationship of love and trust with, is fucked up. especially if you start going on about how disappointed you are without even trying to have a conversation first to understand their perspective. it's manipulative and disrespectful and i want to make sure y'all know, it's not something any of you should ever let yourselves be swayed by.
anyone who would talk to you like this cares more about their discomfort with liking/admiring/trusting someone they disagree with more than they care about you.
do not let those people run your life.

• A new poll shows that 70% of voters still support banning members of Congress from trading stocks.
• One pro-democracy group says it's their "most popular campaign of the year," generating nearly 100,000 emails.
• But lawmakers are still working out the details for a potential ban, leading to frustration on Capitol Hill.
More than 7 in 10 likely voters believe members of Congress should not be allowed to buy or sell individual stocks while in office, according to new poll shared with Insider.
The Data for Progress poll indicates that 70% of respondents want new federal legislation to ban the practice, while 68% said such a ban should extend to lawmakers' spouses.
And 49% of respondents said they were more likely to support a candidate who backs a stock trading ban, including 50% of Republicans and 45% of Democrats.
"It's not just about level of support, but it's about an enthusiasm that people have for this issue," said Brett Edkins, the managing director for policy and political affairs at Stand Up America, a left-of-center governmental reform nonprofit that commissioned the poll. "Very little unifies the American public these days, but widespread national outrage at public corruption ... comes close."
Insider has found that 64 members of Congress have violated the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, which requires timely disclosure of stock transactions. Insider's "Conflicted Congress" project also shed light on a number of conflicts of interest that lawmakers face by virtue of their financial holdings.
When Insider asked Pelosi whether she supported banning the practice, she initially rejected the idea. That led to a wave of new legislation from lawmakers eager to tackle the issue. She has since offered muted support for legislative changes.
Stand Up America has helped rally grassroots support for a potential stock trading ban alongside the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, MoveOn, and Public Citizen, among other political groups and reform organizations.
"It's an issue of democracy and fairness, and whether our representatives are working for us, or for their bank accounts," Edkins said. "Stand Up America has been working on democracy issues for years now, and we consistently find that corruption resonates with people"
Since January, Edkins says Stand Up America has directly nearly 100,000 emails and more than 1,400 calls to members of Congress, as well as nearly 2,000 letters to the editor in local papers. That makes the group's campaign in support of a stock trading ban their "most popular campaign of the year," even surpassing other campaigns in support of voting rights and removing the Senate filibuster.
The new poll, while similar to results found from previous polling on both the left and right, underscores the enduring enthusiasm for the issue among the general public.
"I think a lot of those issues of structural democracy are more difficult to understand," said Edkins. "You know, the filibuster is very procedural. But this is a very cut-and-dry issue."
The poll, conducted from June 8 to 13, included 1,198 likely voters and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
Meanwhile, efforts to enact a stock trading ban on Capitol Hill remain stalled, leading to frustration among those most enthusiastic about a ban.
In the House, stock-ban proponents are waiting to see whether the Committee on House Administration will release a framework they consider strong enough to address the problem. A group of senators, meanwhile, continue to work among themselves to reach consensus on a bill that can garner the entire Democratic caucus's support.
