Almost no doubt. Just question whether some other flunky does it first.
Not going to link to any here but a number of rightwing outlets/Twitter feeds have already posted the name of the person who it’s believed to be.
His son tweeted the name today.

Looks like this applies only to student groups that have blocks together.
Almost 60 student groups – mostly Greek organizations – have reserved seat blocks at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
If Alabama is anything like most every other university I've been familiar with, they shouldn't need to worry too much about frat guys booing Trump.

It's unbelievable the mental gymnastics these fucking morons have to undertake to stay "fired up" about defending Trump.

Who fucking cares who the whistleblower is at this point, we've got half a dozen professional diplomats with sworn testimony that backs up 100 percent of what the original source blew the whistle on.

But these fucking morons are going to pour their anger and indignation into another flavor of "the process being unfair" and ignore the blatant abuse of power.

Again, it was one thing when you could squint a little and understand the "confusion" over the findings of the Meuller report. This shit here? This is just willful ignorance and idolatry.

I'd like to think Trump Jr is going to be viewed as nothing but purely toxic a few years from now. Not unlike how the country had absolutely NO appetite for Jeb Bush. Trump was a complete shithead to everyone, but the public's mind was made up about ol' Jeb, and it was because he was a Bush, period.

One part of Jeb Bush's failure in the primaries was Trump's demeaning and trolling him unmercifully. In a parallel universe without Trump, I wonder if Jeb would've stood a chance for the R nomination.

What's with the quotations? They're not real Christians because they admire moral corruption? Do you have any idea how much tax-exempt money that churches use on non-charitable causes? Not only is it not surprising; it's par for the course.

(Also, this No True Scotsman thing is not only a fallacy but it lends credence to the insidious idea that there's something morally superior about surrendering your critical faculties to a death cult based on child, blood sacrifice and that what people believe is more important than how they behave. Don't do that.)

J-Lo, I get your disdain for organized religion and (rightfully) calling out its hypocrisy.

I think a more effective. or at least a more damning strike, is when a person simply tells them that they're being a shitty Cathloic/Christian/Jew/Whatevs by supporting him. I know I said that once about the administration putting children in fucking cages, and that certainly got a response. I'm a semi-practicing Catholic, and would probably qualify as evangelical, I don't think I wear it out on my sleeve. I think people know I practice (putting my kids through the basic sacrements, trying to take them to the big holidays), and by attacking them there, it has more potency.

This is over-simplistic. Its not christians versus non-christians, its christians who are morally superior to other christians and have been / would be receptive to the truth.

Well, I know a handful will be booing at least. My stepson and his friends are going and they are among lots of students that are more than pissed at the SGA. In other encouraging news one of my best friends is a massive conservative, but he upholds small c principles so cannot stand the current gop nor trump. He told me his bama attending daughter is also going and will be booing as loud as she can. It’s a small data set, but there will be some.

So GOP Congressmen are demanding that the impeachment hearings include the whistleblower and Hunter Biden.

Why don;t they put Hillary on their list as well?

Not defending. Just didn’t know passing off articles that are almost a year old as new is a thing.

There’s enough stuff to get after him about. Going back 10 months doesn’t seem like a top of the list thing. Though, I think this guy in particular didn’t even realize it was ten months old. Hence my post. Just blindly tweeting things.

Your larger point fails to hit the mark as the article referenced in the tweet retains its timeliness and relevance. Plus, He’s the fucking president.

That was...Unsettling. And a great example of how fractured we currently are as a society. And a Trump is there, like a Ferengi to profit from it.
