In my conversations with Republicans, I heard repeatedly that the least disruptive path to getting rid of Trump, grim as it sounds, might be to wait for his expiration.
Ha! Good luck with that. Consider this:
• Donald Trump has a Filet-O-Fish–centered diet, exercises only by playing golf, and employs some of the least trustworthy-seeming doctors to have ever been associated with the medical profession.
• He did not take the threat of COVID seriously at all and actually got COVID himself just before the last election.
• He’s 76 years old.
• He nonetheless recovered fully from COVID and has had no known health problems since. He looks fine. (He looks less frail than the Democrats’ likely 2024 nominee, for one.)

I know you think that's witty, but it isn't.
When Trump dies the atoms that made him up will make something else. Just like yours will. Just like all of ours will.
Also, so will Velveeta when it goes bad...

Donald Trump threatens to use his core skills against the GOP.
It’s begun to dawn on Republicans that they face a potentially catastrophic political problem: Donald Trump may lose the GOP presidential primary and, out of spite, wreck Republican prospects in 2024. That unsettling realization broke through with the release of a Bulwark poll earlier this week.
https://www.thebulwark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Republican_Presi
dential_Primary_Toplines.pdf
The survey found that more than a quarter of likely Republican voters are ready to follow Trump to a third-party bid. Two days after the poll results were released, Trump was asked in an interview whether, if he lost the nomination, he would support the GOP nominee. Trump answered, “It would have to depend on who the nominee was.” Translation: no.
In such a closely divided nation, a third-party campaign by Trump would cripple the GOP in 2024, because almost all of Trump’s votes would come from people who would otherwise vote Republican. In some key states—Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan—that could make all the difference. (In a handful of other states, “sore-loser laws” might bar Trump from the ballot.)
But even if Trump doesn’t run as a third-party candidate, he could ensure that Republican presidential and congressional candidates lose simply by criticizing them during the campaign, accusing the Republican Party of disloyalty, and signaling to his supporters that they should sit out the election. That course of action is more straightforward, and perhaps even likelier, than a third-party bid, but it would be just as devastating to Republican prospects.

Yup.
That's why I said a year ago that DeSantis needs to sit the fuck down and wait his turn. He's my age and has plenty of time.
1/4 to 1/3 of the states won't even hold a primary anyway.
The GOP has nobody else who can run against Trump.

Trump is the latest Republican to avoid his most notable success
Trump pointed to Operation Warp Speed as his most impressive accomplishment — right up until that became politically untenable as Republicans turned against vaccines with a vengeance.
Feb. 6, 2023, 11:57 AM CST
By Steve Benen
The first sign of trouble began, oddly enough, in Alabama. In August 2021, Donald Trump headlined an event in the ruby red state he won by 25 points, and the former president briefly encouraged attendees to get Covid vaccines. The booing was audible and immediate.
In December 2021, it happened again. The Republican appeared at an event in Texas, where he acknowledged having received a booster shot — a comment that again generated booing from his ostensible supporters.
By last summer, Trump had clearly been browbeaten into submission by his own base. During a rally in Alaska, the former president described vaccines as “that I’m not allowed to mention.” He clearly wanted to brag about his record, telling the crowd that “nobody else could have done” what he did, but the Republican nevertheless grudgingly concluded, “I’m not mentioning it in front of my people.”
Trump clearly wanted to brag about the development of the lifesaving vaccines, reminding everyone that they’ve been enormously effective and deserve to be seen as a once-in-a-generation miracle. But he was also scared of getting booed by his own acolytes, so he avoided any explicit references to the “v” word.
This year, as the race for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination starts to take shape, the former president’s approach to vaccines has been overhauled. Instead of bragging about their development and urging people to protect themselves from a dangerous contagion, Trump is now trying to use the right’s hostility toward vaccines against potential GOP rivals, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
In a sign of how toxic the conversation about the coronavirus vaccines has become within the GOP, Mr. Trump’s allies are building a file of “opposition research” on Mr. DeSantis that consists of videos of him praising the vaccine in its early days.
When Trump spoke with reporters between recent rallies in New Hampshire and South Carolina, the former president added, in reference to DeSantis, “He promoted the vaccine as much as anybody in this country promoted it.”
Soon after Trump used his social media platform to call DeSantis “a RINO GLOBALIST,” before reminding voters that the Florida governor “loved the Vaccines,” as if that were a bad thing.
It’s worth noting for context that DeSantis’ line on Covid vaccines has followed a related trajectory: The governor supported the shots before moving in a ridiculous direction, culminating in his recent declaration that those who get the Covid bivalent booster are “more likely to get infected,” which is utterly bonkers.
But it’s Trump who’s scrambling to keep up, eyeing the vaccines developed on his watch as a cudgel to be used against perceived intraparty foes.

Oh fuck off. Here's what Democrats said about the vaccine while Trump was still President.
After Biden* was elected, they took your fucking job if you didn't get the jab after a year of trying to guilt people into taking it didn't work. And no Democrat politician ever went out of their way to give Trump any of the credit for making vaccines happen so fast. (Something I don't even believe happened, because people more powerful than our President were scheming this whole thing from the beginning, even before Trump was President).
Now people ARE dying from the vaccine and the Democrats still want you to take it.
If Democrats didn't flip-flop all the goddamned time, a lot more of them would live much longer lives than they're going to.
Man... I'd love to see Democrats flip-flop again and start blaming Trump for the vaccine and boosters killing them once enough people die that they can't hide it anymore.
You motherfuckers did this to everyone, and everybody knows it. Trump wins in a landslide if the Democrats ever acknowledge the truth of what's happening to the people who were forced to take vaccines. They've lied so long and so hard about this that they're stuck now and couldn't start telling the truth about it even if they wanted to. It would be a political disaster the likes of which no living person in the country has ever seen before.

The GOP Is Starting to Plot Against Donald Trump
Republican Party donors and leaders are talking about how best to stop Trump from running away with the nomination again in 2024. But they don’t have a clear plan to stop him.
One oddity of the current moment is that the weaker Trump seems, with federal and local investigations piling up and his campaign launch landing with a thud, the higher the chances that more possible candidates will launch their own bids, seeing a path to victory more likely. And the more candidates enter, the easier it becomes for Trump to win with an increasingly smaller share of the vote.
“I don’t think it is fair to call Donald Trump a damaged candidate,” said Eric Levine, a top GOP fundraiser who has been calling on the party to move on from Trump since the 2020 election and the uprising at the Capitol. “He is a metastasizing cancer who if he is not stopped is going to destroy the party. Donald Trump is a loser. He is the first president since Hoover to lose the House, the Senate and the presidency in a single term. Because of him Chuck Schumer is the Leader Schumer, and the progressive agenda is threatening to take over the country. And he is probably the only Republican in the country, if not the only person in the country, who can’t beat Joe Biden.”

Banning ideas and authors is not a ‘culture war’ – it’s fascism
Jason Stanley writes:
A wave of Republican enthusiasm for banning concepts, authors and books is sweeping across the United States. Forty-four states have proposed bans on the teaching of “divisive concepts”, and 18 states have passed them.
Florida’s Stop Woke Act bans the teaching of eight categories of concepts, including concepts that suggest that “a person, by virtue of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin, bears personal responsibility for and must feel guilt, anguish or other forms of psychological distress because of actions, in which the person played no part, committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, national origin, or sex”. Many of the laws also target Nikole Hannah-Jones’s influential 1619 Project.
These laws have already started to take effect. Administrators and teachers have been forced out of their positions on the suspicion of violating these laws, and what has started as a trickle may soon become a flood.
In January, Florida’s board of education banned AP African American studies, on the grounds that it included concepts forbidden by Governor Ron DeSantis’s law, including critical race theory and intersectionality, as well as authors such as Kimberlé Crenshaw, bell hooks, Roderick Ferguson, Angela Davis and Ta-Nehisi Coates. The College Board chose to remove these authors and subjects from its curriculum, claiming, as it turns out dubiously, that it did so independently of Florida’s pressure.
These laws have been represented by many as a “culture war”. This framing is a dangerous falsification of reality. A culture war is a conflict of values between different groups. In a diverse, pluralistic democracy, one should expect frequent conflicts. Yet laws criminalizing educators’ speech are no such thing – unlike a culture war, the GOP’s recent turn has no place in a democracy. To understand why, consider their consequences.
In other national contexts, everyone would clearly recognize the problematic nature of laws of this sort. Germany’s teaching of its Nazi past creates clear anguish and guilt in German children (and perhaps for this reason, Germany is the world’s most stable liberal democracy). If the German far-right passed laws forbidding schools from teaching about the sins of Nazism and firing teachers who broke the law on the grounds that such teaching caused anguish and guilt in German children, the world would not stand for it for one moment.
It is frequently claimed by proponents of such laws that banning discussions is freeing schools of indoctrination. And yet indoctrination rarely takes place by allowing the free flow of ideas. Indoctrination instead takes place by banning ideas. Celebrating the banning of authors and concepts as “freedom from indoctrination” is as Orwellian as politics gets.

I raised the idea of outlawing mail-in voting with a canny friend. “The Dems would never allow it,” he said, comparing the practice to nuclear weapons. Once they exist, it is impossible to get rid of them. Maybe so, in which case it behooves Republicans to become experts in organizing and deploying mail-in voting for their own candidates.
If nothing else, a little competition in the mail-in ballot sweepstakes would counter the invitation to corruption that follows on the feeling that the fix is in. In the election just past, it seemed, despite media forecasts of a red wave, that a certain complacency was abroad in and about the headquarters of certain contentious races. Gretchen Whitmer never seemed particularly worried about Tudor Dixon, nor did John Fetterman seem worried about Dr. Oz. Of course, Fetterman is a special case. But the point is, I believe, they knew that the fix was in and therefore — to employ another common idiom — that the race was in the bag.
Let me break that down for you...

If they want to cheat, let 'em cheat. We're going to cheat better, and we're going to end up taking all the Democrat strongholds away from them co-opting the platform that they championed to allow widespread cheating and never let them cheat better than we will cheat.
We don't allow the cheating in Indiana, but I just might stay overnight at my Grandma's for a few weeks in 2024 and go door to door collecting thousands of ballots from people who would have otherwise been too lazy to vote. That's how they win. We can do it better. And it will all be legal because they made it legal.

Since we're never going to put the shit back in the horse and put an end to covid mail-in fraud ballots in the blue states, it's time for Republicans to start canvassing the streets and ballot harvesting like the Democrats do.
Here in Indiana I only have one vote; one voice. If I spend a week at my Grandma's house in Illinois though, I could have 2,500 votes; 2,500 voices, simply by using Democrat's method of legalizing cheating against them.

Donald Trump is mentioned in Chapter 10 "Believe in truth"
from On Tyranny _ Twenty lessons from the twentieth century (2017) by Timothy Snyder
You submit to tyranny when you renounce the difference between what you want to hear and what is actually the case. This renunciation of reality can feel natural and pleasant, but the result is your demise as an individual—and thus the collapse of any political system that depends upon individualism. As observers of totalitarianism such as Victor Klemperer noticed, truth dies in four modes, all of which we have just witnessed.
The first mode is the open hostility to verifiable reality, which takes the form of presenting inventions and lies as if they were facts. The president does this at a high rate and at a fast pace. One attempt during the 2016 campaign to track his utterances found that 78 percent of his factual claims were false. This proportion is so high that it makes the correct assertions seem like unintended oversights on the path toward total fiction. Demeaning the world as it is begins the creation of a fictional counterworld.
The second mode is shamanistic incantation. As Klemperer noted, the fascist style depends upon “endless repetition,” designed to make the fictional plausible and the criminal desirable. The systematic use of nicknames such as “Lyin’ Ted” and “Crooked Hillary” displaced certain character traits that might more appropriately have been affixed to the president himself. Yet through blunt repetition over Twitter, our president managed the transformation of individuals into stereotypes that people then spoke aloud. At rallies, the repeated chants of “Build that wall” and “Lock her up” did not describe anything that the president had specific plans to do, but their very grandiosity established a connection between him and his audience.
The next mode is magical thinking, or the open embrace of contradiction. The president’s campaign involved the promises of cutting taxes for everyone, eliminating the national debt, and increasing spending on both social policy and national defense. These promises mutually contradict. It is as if a farmer said he were taking an egg from the henhouse, boiling it whole and serving it to his wife, and also poaching it and serving it to his children, and then returning it to the hen unbroken, and then watching as the chick hatches.
Accepting untruth of this radical kind requires a blatant abandonment of reason. Klemperer’s descriptions of losing friends in Germany in 1933 over the issue of magical thinking ring eerily true today. One of his former students implored him to “abandon yourself to your feelings, and you must always focus on the Führer’s greatness, rather than on the discomfort you are feeling at present.” Twelve years later, after all the atrocities, and at the end of a war that Germany had clearly lost, an amputated soldier told Klemperer that Hitler “has never lied yet. I believe in Hitler.”
The final mode is misplaced faith. It involves the sort of self-deifying claims the president made when he said that “I alone can solve it” or “I am your voice.” When faith descends from heaven to earth in this way, no room remains for the small truths of our individual discernment and experience. What terrified Klemperer was the way that this transition seemed permanent. Once truth had become oracular rather than factual, evidence was irrelevant. At the end of the war a worker told Klemperer that “understanding is useless, you have to have faith. I believe in the Führer.”

Trump says he won’t cut Medicare or Social Security. Don’t believe him.
Trump has made similar promises in the past. They were lies.
Some Republican lawmakers who have long favored cuts are openly frustrated by Trump’s positioning: “It got him elected the first time, and I think it will get him elected the second time,” Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa told Politico. “But it doesn’t do anything for our children and grandchildren that aren’t going to have a program that I’m enjoying right now.”
We’ve seen this gambit before. In his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly pledged that he wouldn’t cut Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid. It was a sharp break from GOP orthodoxy, and it got him a great deal of attention. As a right-wing nationalist, Trump wasn’t ideologically drawn toward the old Republican establishment’s emphasis on “fiscal responsibility” and gutting government services; his chief economic concerns were tied to trade, manufacturing and immigration. He also knew that entitlement programs — especially Social Security and Medicare — are popular across the country and supported by huge swaths of the Republican base and that past attempts to “reform” them with cuts have failed because of their centrality to the American social safety net. It was a win-win.
But after he entered office, all of Trump's White House budget proposals included cuts to Medicare and Social Security. The health care legislation he worked on with Republicans entailed big cuts to Medicaid. Not cutting Social Security and Medicare was only an election gimmick.

Chris Christie says the 'half-full' crowds at CPAC are a sign that Donald Trump's popularity is finally waning
Chris Christie said the "half-full" crowd at CPAC this weekend is a sign of Trump's unpopularity.
Christie said Trump may be the GOP's 2024 frontrunner now, but he's not as powerful as he was before.
"There are lots of indicators here that he's not what he used to be," Christie said.

Those Neo-Con trash didn't show up because they knew they'd get the Nikki Haley treatment. Trump is the presumptive nominee and there are going to be states that don't even hold a Republican primary when the time comes.
It will be funny watching all the Democrats line up to take shots at your President* Joe pretty soon though.

The right’s war on queer and trans people took center stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference as Daily Wire host Michael Knowles on Saturday called for the eradication of “transgenderism.”
During his speech on Saturday, Knowles told the crowd, “For the good of society … transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely — the whole preposterous ideology, at every level.”
Knowles subsequently claimed that “eradicating” “transgenderism” is not a call for eradicating transgender people and demanded retractions from numerous publications, including Rolling Stone.
Erin Reed, a transgender rights activist and writer, tells Rolling Stone that it’s an absurd distinction. There is no difference between a ban on “transgenderism” and an attack on transgender people, she says: “They are one and the same, and there’s no separation between them.”
Reed says that Knowles and others at the Daily Wire, including anti-trans activist Matt Walsh, are not just talking about keeping transgender people out of public life, they’re actively working to make it happen.

Trump has entered his fat Elvis stage
Jonathan Capehart discussed Donald Trump's speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference over the weekend that pledged, "I am your retribution."
"The crowd cheered, even if he wasn't playing to a full house," Capehart mocked of the small crowd size at the conference. "Retributions against whom, exactly? Voters who rejected the Trump brand of democratic values and hand-picked candidates? The lawmakers to impeach him twice? The federal and state prosecutors overseeing many investigations into Donald Trump? But even as Donald Trump enters his 'fat Elvis' stage, it's imperative to take his threat to democracy seriously. It's still not clear who's gonna stand up to him in a Republican primary."
"This is once more the quiet part out loud. This is Donald Trump acting like a tin pot dictator aspires to be. This is a sort of stuff that guys in funny uniforms with lots of phony medals on them say to their supporters. And it's a way of enlivening them. It's a way of combatting democratic institutions. It's a way of putting everyone on notice, and it's a direct attack on the rule of law, unlimited government, on the Constitution itself. So, the only thing that is different this time around is, as you point out the audience was pretty puny. And secondly, that he actually said it, rather than simply imply it."

Quote of the day: Bomb Mexico
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) said Tuesday morning that it was a “mistake” that the administration didn’t go through with bombing drug labs in Mexico after then-President Donald Trump suggested it in 2020.
“One of the things we learned post-Trump presidency is that he had ordered a bombing of a couple of fentanyl labs, crystal meth labs, in Mexico, just across the border and for whatever reason the military didn’t do it,” he said on Fox News. “I think that was a mistake.”
That Trump suggested bombing the United States’ southern neighbor and ally was revealed in former Defense Secretary Mark Esper’s book, “A Sacred Oath,” last year. Esper relayed that Trump thought such an act of war could be performed discreetly.
“When Mr. Esper raised various objections, Mr. Trump said that ‘we could just shoot some Patriot missiles and take out the labs, quietly,’ adding that ‘no one would know it was us,’” the New York Times wrote from an advanced copy of Esper’s book. “Mr. Trump said he would just say that the United States had not conducted the strike, Mr. Esper recounts, writing that he would have thought it was a joke had he not been staring Mr. Trump in the face.”
Okey dokey. It sure is good that the adults are back in charge in the House.

The last 48 hours revealed the GOP’s intractable 2024 dilemma
Trump and pro-lifers own the Republican Party. That’s bad for its political future.
In the past 48 hours, three major news events have revealed a fundamental problem for the Republican Party’s political future.
First, Donald Trump was formally indicted in New York — a move by prosecutors that appears to have unified the party around him, cementing his already rising poll numbers and making it harder to imagine the GOP ever moving on. This is despite the fact that 60 percent of Americans approve of the indictment, and he remains politically toxic among the majority of Americans.
Second, Republicans lost control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court in an off-year election — a campaign where abortion was “the dominating issue,” per University of Wisconsin political scientist Barry Burden. The repeal of Roe v. Wade brought back an 1849 state law, never technically repealed, that banned abortion at all stages of pregnancy (with an exception for the mother’s life). Janet Protasiewicz, the liberal candidate in the Supreme Court race, openly campaigned on her support for abortion rights. She won by a comfortable margin in a closely divided state — yet another sign that strict abortion bans are seriously unpopular.
Third, the Florida Senate on Monday approved a six-week ban on abortion — a bill pushed and supported by Gov. Ron DeSantis. The GOP’s most plausible non-Trump candidate has now tied himself to one of its most unpopular policy positions with a proven capacity to power Democratic electoral wins.
The developments capture the Republican Party’s problem in a nutshell. Maryville College historian Aaron Astor put it well:
The GOP has two big albatrosses for 2024: Donald Trump and laws that ban first trimester abortions. Both are popular with the GOP base and reviled by the majority of American voters. Abandon them and demoralize the GOP base. Embrace them and get crushed by a mediocre Dem.

After the Dobbs ruling last year, abortion rose to the top of the cultural agenda as Republicans across the country pushed strict bans. This was, in no small part, why Democrats managed a historically strong performance in the 2022 midterm elections: This time around, they were on the right side of popular opinion on a highly visible and highly salient cultural issue.
Banning abortion without any exceptions is probably as unpopular, or more unpopular, as defunding the police. After Dobbs, abortion went from being a somewhat good issue for Democrats to becoming the single best issue.
The smart move would be to soften the GOP’s position on abortion, try to enact looser rules at the state level than the ones they’ve been pushing, and reorient the political conversation to more favorable territory. That’s not what’s happening. The reason why is not hard to understand: The Republican base really, really cares about abortion.

A resolution adopted at the R.N.C.’s winter meeting in January urges Republican lawmakers “to pass the strongest pro-life legislation possible.” Addressing their party’s poor showing in November, it said that Republicans hadn’t been aggressive enough in defending anti-abortion values, urging them to “go on offense in the 2024 election cycle.”
The 11-point loss of the Republican-aligned candidate in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election on Tuesday has influential conservatives rethinking this strategy. “Republicans had better get their abortion position straight, and more in line with where voters are, or they will face another disappointment in 2024,” said a Wall Street Journal editorial.
Ann Coulter tweeted, “The demand for anti-abortion legislation just cost Republicans another crucial race,” and added, “Please stop pushing strict limits on abortion, or there will be no Republicans left.” Jon Schweppe, policy director of the socially conservative American Principles Project, lamented, “We are getting killed by indie voters who think we support full bans with no exceptions.”
But having made the criminalization of abortion a central axis of their political project for decades, Republicans have no obvious way out of their electoral predicament. A decisive majority of Americans — 64 percent, according to a recent Public Religion Research Institute survey — believe that abortion should be legal in most cases. A decisive majority of Republicans — 63 percent, according to the same survey — believe that it should not. When abortion bans were merely theoretical, anti-abortion passion was often a boon to Republicans, powering the grass-roots organizing of the religious right. Now that the end of Roe has awakened a previously complacent pro-choice majority, anti-abortion passion has become a liability, but the Republican Party can’t jettison it without tearing itself apart.

He would be found guilty and then executed by firing squad. Since Trump is not in a "Banana Republic", prosecutors asked for a trial in January 2024, but Trump lawyer Todd Blanche balked at that and advocated for a date in the spring of 2024. Until then, Trump is free to do as he pleases. In the coming months, prosecutors must hand over documents and Trump’s legal team can challenge the charges.

I would point out to 6ix that the Republican Party is responsible for the US spending the highest percentage of its GDP on healthcare, compared to other countries, since any improvement is resisted by Republican voters because it is either Socialism or Communism to those Trump-loving fools:
Americans are more likely to die younger, and from avoidable causes, than residents of peer countries. Healthcare spending, both per person and as a share of GDP, continues to be far higher in the United States than in other high-income countries. Yet the U.S. is the only country that doesn’t have universal health coverage. In 2021, the U.S. spent 17.8 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) on health care, nearly twice as much as the average OECD country.
https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2023/jan/us
-health-care-global-perspective-2022
Health spending per person in the U.S. was $12,914 in 2021, which was over $5,000 more than any other high-income nation. The average amount spent on health per person in comparable countries ($6,125) is less than half of what the U.S. spends per person.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was waiting on a "wink" from former U.S. President Donald Trump to seize parts of Ukraine — years before Russia launched a full-scale invasion — according to a new interview.
Written correspondence between former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and Kremlin aide Konstantin Kilimnik discussed Putin claiming part of Ukraine, saying that a "wink" from the Republican former president was needed to "make this work," former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissmann has said.
When the 2024 election arrives, remember that Trump confirmed he would make a deal allowing Russia to seize parts of Ukraine:
Saying Russia is "going for everything," Trump told host Sean Hannity in early March that Putin "would have never done it" if the former president was still in the White House.
"That's without even negotiating a deal," Trump continued. "I could have negotiated."

While Trump would give away parts of Ukraine, Ukraine's President would not be giving Russia any land. Trump is cavalier about giving away other people's property.

Republican governor says he will pardon murderer
During the summer of 2020 an Army sergeant named Daniel Perry was upset about a nearby BLM protest. He wrote to a friend on social media that he might “kill a few people on my way to work. They are rioting outside my apartment complex.”
The friend, naturally, asked, “Can you legally do so?” Perry said he could: “If they attack me or try to pull me out of my car then yes.”
Perry proceeded to do exactly this. He drove his car into the BLM march and a group of protesters approached him. One of them was in front of the car carrying a rifle, and Perry told police: "I believe he was going to aim it at me....I didn’t want to give him a chance to aim at me, you know." So he shot the guy five times with a revolver and then drove away.
On Friday a jury convicted him of murder.
On Saturday Gov. Greg Abbott announced that he would pardon Perry just as soon as he possibly could:
Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX
I am working as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt. Perry.
2:06 PM · Apr 8, 2023
https://twitter.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1644778789493243907
In summary, in Texas you can
(a) announce that you'd like to gun down a BLM protestor,
(b) provoke a confrontation with a BLM protestor by driving into a crowd,
(c) gun down a BLM protestor, and
(d) get pardoned by the governor, who says the killing was self-defense.
Vote Republican in 2024 to get more of the same!

Socially he's a liberal, but he's also antiwar and for the working class. And he says he's running against the deep state. I can agree with that!
I doubt that the DNC would let him get the nomination. They'll squeeze him out like they squeezed out Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard, and they'll shoehorn in someone equally noxious as Biden* or Hillary.

Nobody's perfect. But it's a fact, not a theory, that American elites conspire with the deep state against her own citizens.

1) Trump adds ending the Ukraine war in 24 hours to his resume of unhinged promises
He also stressed that if he had been re-elected back in 2020, the war wouldn’t have happened in the first place. Unfortunately, it is not the first time he has made a nonsensical claim. Just days ago, he stressed (via Newsweek) that he is the “only” 2024 presidential candidate who can “prevent World War III,” which he is sure is going to happen and can “possibly end the world.”

With an unhinged person like Trump, it's good to get such a recap because it is all truly difficult to keep up with, which we now understand to be the point.

America Is Starting to Really Hate Donald Trump
Story by Brandon Weichert
The former president, Donald J. Trump, is running around telling Republican voters that he alone can defeat the Democrats in the 2024 Presidential Election. Anyone who would question the forty-fifth president’s statement is considered a stooge of the globalist, neoliberal, neoconservative elite.
The GOP, for its part, is stuck between a toupee and an orange face.
After all, Donald Trump can probably win a GOP Primary easily. He cannot win a General Election at all—this is especially the case if, as the former president and many Republican voters believe, the elections are totally rigged.
Heck, if they’re as rigged against the GOP (and, specifically, the MAGA coalition) as Trump says, then why is he even running?
Applying logic to these controversies is rarely what one hoping to retain an audience for their writings is supposed to do. Not when people want to feel like they’re fighting for truth, justice, and the other things, too (rather than actually fighting for these notable ideals in their daily lives, at their local community level).
Whatever. I digress.
If we are to assume that at least some of the election is going to be legitimate (again, as Trump must since he’s running for president once more), we should also analyze the polling data. Of course, polling data can be inaccurate, and it can be misleading.
Yet, it is still a worthwhile endeavor because it can give us insights into where the country is at the moment.
According to a recent ABC News-Ipsos poll conducted between April 6-7 of this year (involving 566 adults), Donald Trump’s favorability ratings are in the toilet—and they’ve gotten even lower. Whereas in March of this year, Trump had a 29 percent favorability rating, a month later, he lost four points and found himself hovering around a pathetic 25 percent.
Meanwhile, his unfavorable rating was even worse. In that same poll, A whopping 56 percent of Americans in March said that they had an unfavorable view of the forty-fifth president. The following month, those Americans gave Trump a 61 percent unfavorable rating, increasing Trump’s negatives by a factor of six points.
I cannot think of any politician running for reelection in the modern age who would believe these numbers are good for their campaign. This means that only one in four Americans have a favorable view of Trump.

Because you can't understand, 6ix, Trumptards, or the ancient equivalent amongst the goatherds of Israel:
1) invented "Jesus" and "God" to forgive them for their wrong-headed decisions
2) invented "Satan" to explain away their self-caused problems/addictions/diseases/crimes
3) blame "George Soros and the Jews" or "The Powers That Be" or "Democrats" to remove blame from themselves and transfer it to others who are not supernatural like "Satan" and therefore can be attacked in the physical world.
6ix, reality will NEVER bend to the above three nonsensical beliefs you Trumptards hold in your minds and have built your whole lives on. You Trumptards have behaved atrociously, foolishly and, much delayed because you live in America where people like you are partially protected from your own nonsense, reality is now gonna screw you back for what you did wrong, wrong, wrong.

A second category of disorders that have become more common in modern times, and represent a much greater risk for most of us, is what Professor Daniel Lieberman of Harvard calls mismatch diseases—that is, diseases brought on by our indolent and overindulgent modern lifestyles. The idea, roughly, is that we are born with the bodies of hunter-gatherers but pass our lives as couch potatoes. If we want to be healthy, we need to eat and move about a little more like our ancient ancestors did. That doesn’t mean we have to eat tubers and hunt wildebeest. It means we should consume a lot less processed and sugary foods and get more exercise. Failure to do that, however, is what is giving us the disorders like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease that are killing us in great numbers. Indeed, as Lieberman notes, medical care is actually making things worse by treating the symptoms of mismatch diseases so effectively that we “unwittingly perpetuate their causes.” As Lieberman puts it with chilling bluntness, “You are most likely going to die from a mismatch disease.” Even more chillingly, he believes that 70 percent of the diseases that kill us could easily be preventable if we would just live more sensibly. But sensible is not what Trumptards believe in. Put your faith in Trump and Jesus.

Yes I do. 100%. And I've said so many times.
I own my failures just as I own my triumphs.
I lost all but 10 of my teeth because of my bad decisions. I will eventually lose the 10 remaining teeth because of those bad decisions no matter what I do going forward.
I am a diabetic because of my bad decisions. I will be a diabetic for the rest of my life because of my bad decisions no matter what I do going forward.
And the thing about Jesus was a joke. You're the one always talking about god here. Not me.

Don't you dare project your terrorism fantasies onto me, you little fucking worm.
You're the sick fuck posting your assassination fantasies all over these boards and telling people to and how to kill themselves with your Reaverfan handle before I got Haken to ban it. (And lie about that one all you want, but you and I know very well that this is true).
Don't worry buddy. I'm not an evil twisted prick like you are.
Indiana is safe from me.
Also, Democrats, BLM members and pharmacists are safe from me as well. They're not worthy to lick dog shit off my heel.

I'm pretty sure I know why I got it too. I stopped eating most of the good food I was eating, I ate a ton of peanut butter and sugary cereal that I got in bulk on sale along with drinking a gallon of whole milk every 2 days, I was eating a lot of junk food from the dollar store and I fell off the gluten free wagon completely. This all happened in the span of about 4 months of hard core bad eating habits with probably 10 times as much sugar as I should have been eating per day even though I wasn't eating sweets or drinking soda. Most of that excess sugar is easily stripped completely out of my diet now overnight.
I allowed myself these mistakes while going through Gram's illness and eventual death, and the aftermath, and then the stress of the thing I'm dealing with right now, on top of the SAD that I go through every year here in the midwest when everything is dead and cold. Even without the huge external stressors of winter 2022, falling into bad habits during the winter has always been something that I've done in the past without (at least without obvious) permanent side-effects. But eventually time catches up with you.
I would imagine that by the time I see my actual doctor in the middle of May between eating right, mild exercise and having gone through these metaformin I should have the glucose level well under control. I'd probably be able to do that just by stripping out all the bullshit I was eating, but I'll gladly take the help of the pill for the next month and use this time to get in better physical shape.
Let me know what you know and I'll look into that link.
Thanks.

By the way, it is metformin, not metaformin, for your diabetes: https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a696005.html
