91 felonies are how many Trump is charged with so far collectively. In Georgia, if Trump is found guilty of just two of the many charges in that case, he goes to jail.

That old phrase "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" does not apply to Presidents. They are guilty until they prove themselves innocent. Trump has not provided the proof. He has not even proven that he paid all his taxes. After sharing tax returns (because Supreme Court ruled twice that either Trump share or go to jail) showing he paid $750 and others that say the IRS owes him (The IRS disagrees) Trump won't go to the effort to prove anything.

You saw Trump, with all his thousands of legal and tax problems, as a suitable President. It is not surprising that his old problems continued and new ones popped into existence because his new position made it possible to get into new kinds of trouble with the laws.

Legal affairs of Donald Trump as a private citizen
From the 1980s until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump was involved in over 4,000 legal cases in U.S. federal and state courts, including million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, and over 100 business tax disputes. He has also been accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault, with one accusation resulting in Trump being held civilly liable.

Since Trump started running for office, evidence of his criminality and lack of morals followed him. Like his using his charity to enrich himself. He was found guilty of that, and made to shut down the charity and pay a large fine. This is something his son is now dealing with, with his charity. His son is accused of using money raised to help children with cancer, to line his own pockets. I’ll say it again. Trumps son Erick, is now accused of using money he collected with his charity, to help children with cancer, to line his own pockets. How fucked up is that?

Anyway, as with everything that followed, like Trump being charged with 91 felonies, his supporters offered only excuses. Excuses designed to deflect away from the truth. Well, now the bill comes due. In a court of law, witch hunt to name one of his easily disproven defenses, won’t be a defense against facts.

Bottom line, claiming bias or everything is a witch hunt isn’t going to cut it in a court of law. Jack saying Trump with be fine, isn’t going to cut it in a court of law. Especially when all the witnesses self-identify as republicans. His Vice President, cabinet members and lawyers who are witnesses against Trump. They all identify as being Republican. And at this point in time, it is my assertion, that if you are moral then you acknowledge Trump and his sons as being the worst of the worst. If not, then you’ve exposed yourself as not conforming to the accepted standards of morality.

His lawyers love and care because they are being paid $1 million per week. Unlike past lawyers who were cheated by Trump out of their pay, these guys demand payment upfront. That's what happens when Trump's reputation for being slow to pay becomes well-known to the legal community. It is kind of funny how lawyers who worked for Trump once will refuse to work for him again. He needs a steady stream of new lawyers because the old one won't return Trump's phone calls.

Donald Trump will add the newest Georgia indictment to his vast trophy case of whinings, grievances, and sacred sufferings. For his enthusiasts, it will serve as proof that he is the best, smartest, most long-suffering messianic figure in human history. But every time Trump tells an audience that he is facing these criminal sanctions for them, his listeners must wonder whether falsifying documents and lying to elected officials and threatening women in their kitchens is in fact a necessary component of their own civilian lives. Fani Willis adds her evidence against Trump to the heaving pile of stuff none of us ever actually does because only Tony Soprano does them. That lesson may never sink in for some die-hards, but it can indeed begin to look both petty and grimy. This case is important if not essential because, like its predecessors, it peels off yet another layer of spray tan to reveal the truth below.

I hope the DNC/Deep State/transnationalists realize that the more they try to crucify Trump, the more he achieves martyr status..
He's getting some seriously undeserved street cred, just from the actions of his opponents.

You might not claim them, but you sure as shit don't denounce the behavior. Both by them and the people with a (D) attached to their name that constantly invite them around children.

6ix, I keep repeating this same story but you seem to be unable to grasp the point. These people were my next-door neighbors and Trumptards to the core, repeating the same opinions as 6ix and Signym. To other Trumptards the family seemed sane but to me, they were at the same low levels of sanity where 6ix and Signym dwell. Nothing I said to this family would make them stop and shape up their lives into something more rational. Here is how they ended themselves:

One son was in prison for 10 years for negligent homicide. One son was in prison for 1 year for auto theft. One mother was fatally poisoned with ethylene glycol but nobody went to prison for that. One father with a fatal stroke connected to all this chaos. A gun safe with 20 weapons in it for a household of Trumptards who had no purpose in life. 6ix, I'm giving you a clue as to why I don't vote for the same candidates that Trumptards vote for. One more clue: they were proud of their well-maintained house but now the family is scattered (literally the ashes of two are scattered).

Trump's story of self-destruction in slow motion will probably end as ridiculously as my next-door neighbor's story ended because Trump won't stop acting insane. I suspect there is a stroke in Trump's future as he rages at the unfairness of life.

Trump will be issuing the "report". You got things backwards when you appear to think the government will be issuing the "report". The people I know who appear to get things backwards like you, Signym, are the same people who think Trump is a Holy Martyr to be burned at the stake to save them. But Trump poured gasoline on himself and is daring the world to strike a match. His million dollars per week lawyers are the firemen standing by to put out the blaze, just in case somebody accepts Trump's dare.

Trump is the personification of bad judgment and lack of self-control. But his Trumptards are the same and see nothing exceptionally wrong with him. They want the government to be as faulty as they are. I think they ought to be able to see what a mess they made of their own lives and should restrain themselves from messing up the nation but, like Signym, they get things backwards. They think the government messed up their lives rather than blame themselves for what they obviously did to themselves.

Oh, I agree that Trump often shows the impulsivity so charactreristic of galloping adult ADHD. And having been feted in the world of real estate and the media circus, he's developed an unhealthy ego about what he can, and can't do; and especially the idea that he can bend government to his will by himself. His appointments were abysmal. The only appointee who would have done him any good - Flynn- was railroaded out early, and Trump didn't fight for him.

He also had the bad judgment to think that the establishments of both parties would keep deal that they had struck.

That's a mistake he would not make again, should he be in office!

But the amount of vindictiveness and hysteria being puked up by the DNC, DOJ, FIB and the media is so out of proportion, the charges so baseless and politically-motivated they're worthy of a third-world nation. The establishments of BOTH parties, the media, and those permament employees ("the interagency") who think they should be running government are discrediting themselves massively.

The only thing they're doing with their constant counterfactual narratives

COLLUSION!
QUID PRO QUO!
BLM/ANTIFA PEACEFUL PROTESTS!
TAKE A KNEE!
DEFUND THE POLICE!
RIGHTWING TERRORISTS!
VACCCINE!
FOREVER LOCKDOWNS!
CENSORSHIP IS GOOD!
INSURRECTION!
UKRAINE ... AS LONG AS IT TAKES!

is driving a big, deep wedge between themselves and anyone who has even one foot in reality. At some point, that wedge will be between themselves and a large majority of the population.

Joe Biden* is President and my metabolic age is 16 years younger than my real age, current smoking and behind-me-alcoholism and all.

I'm doing just fine with Democrats running the show, and once they're ousted that's not going to change anything for me, personally.

Many Presidential contenders had no hope because they displayed mental instability one time only. Trump is unstable always. As a bonus, he has been indicted but has never acted sober about those charges as a sane person would. Instead, he has acted completely crazy.

And Joe Biden* is...? An exemplar of mental acuity? Biden* is mostly a meat puppet: useful as a megaphone for neocons and transnationalists. At one time, he was also an accomplished international grifter.

Hillary? Pelosi? Harris? (young, but room temp IQ.) McConnell? This is not a one-party problem!

Trump, as I said many times before he was elected, would be a giant loose cannon in DC. People seem to prefer a loose cannon to what we have NOW, which is a censorial system of corrupt leadership. If the DNC wants to 'solve' the Trump problem, they need to come up with BETTER CANDIDATES that will at least moderate the blatant corruption and have SOME respect for the average American.

Yup. There is not a single electable person running for the Democrat Party, including Biden*.

The only person even remotely electable would be RFK, but TPTB have the Legacy Media slamming him almost as much as they do Trump when they're not outright ignoring him.

Scientific American, Sept. 2023 asks, “What could go wrong with having crazy Trump in the White House?”

Can you think of a narcissist? Some people might picture Donald Trump, perhaps, or Elon Musk, both of whom are often labeled as such on social media. Or maybe India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, who once wore his own name woven in minute gold letters on each stripe over and over again.

But chances are you’ve encountered a narcissist, and they looked nothing like Trump, Musk or Modi. Up to 6 percent of the U.S. population, mostly men, is estimated to have had narcissistic personality disorder during some period of their lives. And the condition manifests in confoundingly different ways. People with narcissism “may be grandiose or self-loathing, extroverted or socially isolated, captains of industry or unable to maintain steady employment, model citizens or prone to antisocial activities,” according to a review paper on diagnosing the disorder.

Clinicians note several dimensions on which narcissists vary. They may function extremely well, with successful careers and vibrant social lives, or very poorly. They may (or may not) have other disorders, ranging from depression to sociopathy. And although most people are familiar with the “grandiose” version of narcissism—as displayed by an arrogant and pompous person who craves attention—the disorder also comes in a “vulnerable” or “covert” form, where individuals suffer from internal distress and fluctuations in self-esteem. What these seeming opposites have in common is an extreme preoccupation with themselves.

Most psychologists who treat patients say that grandiosity and vulnerability coexist in the same individual, showing up in different situations. Among academic psychologists, however, many contend that these two traits do not always overlap. This debate has raged for decades without resolution, most likely because of a conundrum: vulnerability is almost always present in a therapist’s office, but individuals high in grandiosity are unlikely to show up for treatment. Psychologist Mary Trump deduces, from family history and close observation, that her uncle, Donald Trump, meets the criteria for narcissistic as well as, probably, antisocial personality disorder, at the extreme end of which is sociopathy. But “coming up with an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis would require a full battery of psychological and neuropsychological tests that he’ll never sit for,” she notes in her book on the former president.

Now brain science is contributing to a better understanding of narcissism. It’s unlikely to resolve the debate, but preliminary studies are coming down on the side of the clinicians: vulnerability indeed seems to be the hidden underside of grandiosity.

FANTASY OR REALITY?

Tessa, a 25-year-old who now lives in California, has sometimes felt on top of the world. “I would wake up every day and go to college believing I was going to be a famous singer and that my life was going to be fantastic,” she recalls. “I thought I could just keep perfecting myself and that someday I would end up as this amazing person surrounded by this amazing life.”

But she also hit severe emotional lows. One came when she realized that the fabulous life she imagined might never come to be. “It was one of the longest periods of depression I’ve ever gone through,” Tessa tells me. “I became so bitter, and I’m still working through it right now.”

That dissonance between fantasy and reality has spilled into her relationships. When speaking to other people, she often finds herself bored—and in romantic partnerships, especially, she feels disconnected from both her own and her partner’s emotions. An ex-boyfriend, after breaking up, told her she’d been oblivious to the hurt she caused him by exploding in rage when he failed to meet her expectations. “I told him, ‘Your suffering felt like a cry in the wind—I didn’t know you were feeling that way’... all I could think about was how betrayed I felt,” she says. It upset her to see him connect with other people; she reacted by

"Imagine the worst..." a dark hollow voice intones "Imagine crazy Trump in office..." https:scientificamerican


Here's the thing: We don't HAVE to imagine. Trump already WAS in office.

Did he start any wars? Blow up the WH? "Destroy democracy as we know it"?

Order censorship? Collude with Russia? Organize a wide-ranging security-state, DOJ, and media attack on political rivals?

Open the border to a horde of illegal aliens? Take a knee? Defund the police?

You should stop paying attention to what politicians say about themselves, totally ignore what they say about each other and compare them on their record.

It's bullshit pretending to be science.



STAND UP A BETTER CANDIDATE AND I WILL VOTE FOR HIM OR HER.

If the DNC or RNC can't do that, I'll write Trump in because his record is better than anyone else's so far. Tulsi would do. RFK Jr. Rand Paul. You have choices. I suggest you promote them.

You have heard of Project 2025. https://www.google.com/search?q=Project+2025

It is a blueprint to never leave office. RFK Jr. or any Republican or even, dare I say, Trump will follow that plan.

I do remember Trump's term in office. The longest government shutdown in history because Trump made a deal for the border wall, then reneged on every detail he agreed to before the shutdown.

Biggest tax cut in history and the biggest increase in the national debt in one term.

Trump on TV 24/7 yammering about himself and how smart he is. Stable Genius TV.

Trump obstructing justice. Trump paid by foreign governments. Trump not paying his taxes. Trump not showing up for the inauguration of Biden. Trump stealing government documents as he leaves DC then lying for years about stealing them.

Almost forgot: Trump spent his last months in office changing the votes of the Electoral College but some disloyal members of his government changed them back to what the votes originally were.

The Wheels Of Justice Turn Slowly . . .

By Andrew Tobias On August 17, 2023

. . . and desperately need to be reformed (if you ask me).

An enforceable code of ethics for the Supreme Court for obvious starters, but it’s way more than that.

Six years ago, a woman walking in Central Park was almost killed a falling tree. A settlement — $5.5 million — was reached last month, and it cost her $1 million in legal fees to reach it. (The defendants doubtless had big legal fees, as well.) Is this really the best system for settling such cases? Six years?

In 1996, I put Prop 202 on the California ballot to encourage “early settlements.” It was endorsed by the business community and conservatives like Robert Bork; but also by two former deans of Harvard Law School, Derek Bok and Erwin Griswold, former ACLU President Norman Dorsen, and even a former president of the American College of Trial Lawyers, Leon Silverman.

It came really close — 48.79% of the vote!

I called California’s then-Secretary of State, Bill Jones.

“All I need,” I told him over and over for an hour, “is for you to find . . .”

No, wait; wrong fantasy. I didn’t call him; I admitted defeat.

But I still believe something like Prop 202 makes sense — a way to give both sides an incentive to settle more quickly.

I just finished listening to Big Sugar, a riveting nine-part podcast about a 15-year legal battle that the plaintiffs quickly won — $51 million — but that Big Sugar ultimately won. If you listen, I doubt you’ll think justice was done. (Interesting sidenote: the same scientists paid to say there’s no link between sugar and diabetes morphed into the scientists who found no linkage between smoking and cancer or fossil fuels and climate change. But I digress.)

It reminded me of ParkerVision’s 13-year battle with Qualcomm, where a jury awarded PRKR $173 million in 2011, but where, so far, the company has received nothing. And may well never.

It reminded me also of its recent suit against Intel, where a jury could well have awarded more than $250 million — which the judge could then have trebled — but where, for reasons hard to fathom, the jury was not given a chance to hear the case. Instead, the judge more or less forced ParkerVision to settle for $25 million.

Maybe 20 years from now there will be a podcast about that one.

(I still have a huge number of shares, and there’s some possibility of upside from today’s dime a share — hey, 20 cents would be a double! A buck someday would be a home run! But I’m no longer holding my breath. The justice system crushed us.)

The big frustration, though, 10 billion times as important as ParkerVision, is how hard it has been, first, to impeach Trump — don’t read the Mueller report or credit the view of more than 1,000 former Republican and Democratic prosecutors, just take his word for it — and, now, how hard it’s been to pursue the indictments.

We all watched him urge his followers to come to DC — “it will be wild” — and exhort them to march to the Capitol and “fight like hell,” knowing many were armed . . . we all watched them storm the Capitol . . . he watched them storm the Capitol . . . for 187 minutes before he reluctantly called them off . . . we have all heard his call to Georgia’s secretary of state.

Why does it take years and years to investigate and adjudicate?

Why not quick justice for the really obvious pieces and then a succession of “superseding indictments” as the full scope of the conspiracy becomes better and better known?

I’m not an expert, but I can’t believe this is the best we can do.

Grrrrrr.

I do remember Trump's term in office. The longest government shutdown in history because Trump made a deal for the border wall, then reneged on every detail he agreed to before the shutdown.

Biggest tax cut in history and the biggest increase in the national debt in one term.



Oh dears! Another SECOND counterfactual "fact"!

During the first part of a president's term, they operate under the previous president's budget.
The best way to measure debt by president is to add their budget deficits and compare it to the debt level when they took office.
Five presidents who contributed the most, percentage-wise, to the national debt are Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.

Those documents BELONG TO THE PRESIDENT. Even the Presidential archive has to negotiate with outgoing Presidents which documents he chooses to turn over, and which he chooses to keep. That's your TDS showing. Again.

Quote:

Almost forgot: Trump spent his last months in office changing the votes of the Electoral College but some disloyal members of his government changed them back to what the votes originally were.
Baloney.

Did Trump get us into a multi-billion economy-sucking war that threatens to turn into WWIII... or, alternately, dismember NATO?

Did Trump open the southern border to tens of millions of illegal aliens?

Did Trump mastermind a coordinated WH/ security state/DOJ/ media attack on his politsl rivals, smearing them in the press with egregiously false accusations?

Did Trump take a knee to rioters, or promote defunding the police?

Stop focusing on blather SECOND, and distance yourself from your TDS. Yanno, get a sense of perspective.

If the DNC can't put up any better candidates than Biden*, Harris, or Hillary they deserve to go down up flames.

Those other people you mention in your "but-what-about-defense" of Trump did not break the law, at least according to any grand jury.

On the other hand, Trump is in trouble with the law because he breaks it. Grand juries indict him for what he did.

Trump's national deficits are not measured percentage-wise, but in absolute dollars, not adjusted for inflation. He promised he would not only have a zero deficit but would pay off the national debt. That could never happen because he lowered taxes for himself and the IRS stopped collecting taxes from the wealthy, in particular, from Trump. You can see his tax returns. He demands multi-million dollar funds for several years. The IRS, as far as anybody but Trump knows, refuses to pay him and he refuses to pay what he actually owes. It is a very silly system of "collecting" taxes where nothing gets collected.

While we are talking about national debts, the US spent more than $10 trillion on nukes to reassure Republican congressmen that the US could destroy Russia if it nuked the US, which Russia has threatened to do thousands of times over many decades, but Signym denied that happened. And Ukraine fights Russia because Russia killed 60 million of its own people, despite Signym and Russians denying that happened. If you include Ukrainians in the total, Russia killed 4 million of them. That is a strong motivation for Ukrainians to fight on. Per usual, Signym denied the murders even happened.

Trump and Russia are in trouble with the law because both break the law, even if Signym and 6ix deny that laws were broken.

Trump pays a million dollars per week to his lawyers because he is in trouble. Were he innocent, two mediocre lawyers paid $500/hour would be more than enough to defend him with their highly persuasive summation that any jury would happily believe and vote for Trump's acquittal after only a hour of deliberation. Trump would want to go on trial immediately. But Trump needs dozens of lawyers to bamboozle the jury because he knows he is guilty. He is trying to delay the trials.

It would be an excellent change of pace if the USA followed the example of other countries. It would also be fine if Trump paid all of his taxes for once in his life. About $1 trillion in taxes is not collected each year which makes tax cheating by the wealthy a common occurrence. Some of that cheating is Trump setting a bad example for others. 'If the President can cheat, so can I' would be their justification.

Hunter Biden CC'd On Call Between Then-VP Joe And Former Ukraine President

Thursday, Aug 17, 2023 - 07:35 AM

House Republican investigators have asked the National Archives to hand over any unredacted records in which then-VP Joe Biden used a pseudonym.

Previously released emails retrieved from Hunter's abandoned laptop reveal that Biden used a "Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov"; email address while he was serving as Vice President of the United States. What's more, that Biden aide John Flynn cc'd Hunter on 10 emails which contained Joe's daily schedule between May 19 and June 15, 2016.

One of the emails details plans for a phone call with Ukraine's former president, Petro Poroshenko. Flynn copied Hunter at his email address at Rosemont Seneca Partners - while Hunter was serving on the board of Ukrainian energy giant, Burisma, which was deemed to be corrupt by the Obama-Biden State Department.



So, when is Joe going to jail?

There is an abundance of evidence that Russians murdered 64 million Russians plus Ukrainians, but the Russians deny everything all the time. There is evidence the US spent more than $10 trillion on nuclear weapons so that Russians would not murder Americans, but Russians deny that they made threats. There is evidence in the indictments that Trump committed the crimes, but Trumptards deny it without looking at any indictment, ever. There is plenty of evidence in my neighborhood that Trumptards are criminals and stupid to boot (keep smoking like a chimney, eating like a pig, drunk as a skunk, and drugged out of your minds, Trumptards), including my next-door neighbors, which makes it unexceptional that those criminals support Trump, their indicted leader.

Trump Discovers That Some Things Are Actually Illegal

The cases against the former president aren’t criminalizing politics. They’re criminalizing, well, crimes.

Following each new indictment of Donald Trump, the former president and his allies have wasted no time in attacking the case. Their complaints have gravitated toward one idea in particular: the notion that prosecutors have charged Trump for engaging in the normal work of politics.

The latest indictment, in Fulton County, Georgia, is “an example of this criminalization of politics,” commented Florida Governor Ron DeSantis—who’d made a similar comment last month about Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump on charges related to January 6. Jenna Ellis, who was charged alongside Trump in Fulton County, tweeted on Tuesday, “The Democrats and the Fulton County DA are criminalizing the practice of law”—a reference, presumably, to the indictment’s focus on her role as a member of Trump’s legal team working to overturn the 2020 presidential election. On Truth Social, Trump himself posted, “These monsters … are Criminalizing Political Speech, a total SHUTDOWN OF DEMOCRACY!”

These claims of criminalizing politics are themselves nothing but spin. They imply that Trump and his associates took no action beyond typical political maneuvering. Nevertheless, there’s something telling about this phrasing. Politics, it suggests, is a dirty game, where the players jockey viciously for advantage—and if the game becomes rough, well, nothing can be done about that.

But that actually is not the case: Attempting to overturn an election and hold on to power despite the will of the voters is far from typical politics. Regardless of what Trump and other Republicans are arguing, somewhere a line does exist separating the ugly but acceptable from the potentially criminal. And prosecutors allege that Trump crossed it.

The Trump presidency generated an enormous amount of discussion about “norms”—the unwritten rules of American political life that everyone tacitly agrees to and that keep democracy functioning. Many of these norms had been somewhat invisible until Trump began shattering them, by doing things like profiting from his business during his time in office or demanding that the Justice Department investigate his political enemies.

But what makes a norm a norm is, at least in part, the fact that it’s not necessarily a legal obligation. When Trump bulldozed through these collective agreements about how politicians and particularly presidents should behave, in many cases there was no obvious means by which to punish him, legally speaking, or hold him back. Much of the public learned for the first time that many things they believed had been required by law—such as the expectation that presidential candidates release their tax returns—were essentially just gentlemen’s agreements. Trump’s actions raised this question so frequently that The Washington Post launched a podcast titled, simply, Can He Do That? Often, the Post’s reporters discovered, the answer was “yes.”

The power of the presidency is far-reaching, and Trump proved uniquely skilled at exploiting his authority in the areas where controls were weakest. In many instances, the reach of that power was precisely what had made normative constraints so crucial: For example, because the Constitution places few limits on presidential authority over the Justice Department, it’s all the more important that presidents restrain themselves from demanding that the attorney general investigate their enemies. (Trump, as the Mueller report revealed, did not abide by this tradition.)

In addition, the Justice Department’s internal guidance advises against indictment of a sitting president, reasoning that criminal charges would make it impossible for the chief executive to carry out his constitutional role. That policy helped Trump escape charges of obstruction of justice in the Mueller investigation. Instead of the threat of prosecution, the only real constraint on a president’s actions—other than impeachment, whic

It is not a crime for a Trumptard to stink up their house with tobacco smoke, fall down drunk & vomiting, crash their car into their own garage door, overdose, grow obese, set their house on fire while cooking or vote for a criminal, but it is stupid. (I have seen Trumptards do all these things and some especially stupid Trumptards in the neighborhood have done all of them, but not on the same day. They spread out their stupidity over months.)

Brains are supposed to be wet, retard. They're made up of 75% water.

You don't even have one, so you don't get to have an opinion on the matter.








While anyone can develop the disorder, people who consume alcohol are more likely to develop the condition. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 80% of people with alcohol use disorder have a thiamine deficiency.1

Research shows that wet brain is more likely to develop in men than women. This is because men are more likely to be diagnosed with alcohol use disorder, the leading cause of wet brain.2 With the proper treatment and management, it's possible to reverse the damage the condition has caused to your brain.
Characteristics of Wet Brain

Wet brain causes varying symptoms depending on the stage of your condition. A persistent sign is confusion, which often makes it difficult for people with the disorder to realize that something is wrong with them. Many signs of wet brain are similar to alcohol intoxication, which makes it essential to look out for signs of the condition when a person is sober.

Yep Jack, that's you

T




Actually, as much as it might pain you to hear it, Ted, the information you have provided here is helpful.

Though I don't suffer from many of the symptoms of Wernicke-Korsakoff, particularly the really bad late-stage symptoms, it turns out that Thiamine deficiency can actually be intimately linked to both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, as Thiamine plays an important role in breaking down carbohydrates. When somebody drinks every day, their kidneys flood the blood stream with Thiamine and alcoholics can have as little as 25% of it than people who don't drink. It also turns out that consuming coffee can deplete the body's stores of Thiamine as well, and even though the levels of coffee that I drink might not effect an otherwise healthy person at my age and build, if I was coming off of years of out of control drinking and heavily deficient in the first place, I might actually be operating at a level of the vitamin that is not healthy long-term.

I've looked through my lab work and it turns out that so far we haven't tested for this. I'm actually a little annoyed about this because I've been completely honest with every doctor I've seen so far about the fact that I've been sober now for over 6.5 years but I used to drink HEAVILY. Yet not one doctor has had any lab work drawn up for B1 deficiency. Because of the nature of diabetes, it turns out that a lot of Thiamine deficiency issues get missed in both type 1 and type 2 diabetics.

I've put in a request for these tests, and hope to have them done this upcoming week.

Although I know you're just being a dick like you always are, and you're using the term "wet brain" as the insult that it is and the term for Wernicke-Korsakoff that the medical community does not like people using, if it turns out that I have a strong B1 deficiency that was chronic and I can get it fixed, you may have just inadvertently saved my eyesight long-term as well as possibly saved me from having actual memory and other cognitive issues later in life. And who knows? By pointing this out, you may have even made my Diabetes even easier to manage since Thiamine plays such an important and active role in the body's use of carbohydrates and glucose.

So... Thanks.






Glad I could help.

As Long As You Keep Repeating Something . . .
By A.T. On August 18, 2023
https://andrewtobias.com/as-long-as-you-keep-repeating-something/

The first 12 seconds, from Trump’s former press secretary, are particularly good:

Donald Trump lives in his own reality, and he lies casually, but he’s very very good at it. He used to teach me: “Stephanie, as long as you keep repeating something, it doesn’t matter what you say.”

Not only is he one of just three U.S. presidents ever to have been impeached, let alone twice (with a 57-43 bipartisan majority of senators voting to convict the second time) . . . the only U.S. president ever to have been indicted, let alone four times . . . he is also the only president ever to have kept a book of Hitler’s speeches by his bedside.

(And to have exchanged “love letters” with a dictator; sided with Russia over the FBI; and said, “Hitler did a lot of good things.”)

I emphasize this last point, because his instruction to Stephanie Grisham — “Stephanie, as long as you keep repeating something, it doesn’t matter what you say” — is essentially an instruction on effectuating The Big Lie.

>> From Scientific American: Repeated exposure to implausible statements makes them feel less so.

>> From an American correspondent’s introduction to that 1941 book of speeches:

[Hitler’s oratory] stirs hatred and feeds self-vindication, and whether on paper it bears inspection for consistency, logic or soundness is immaterial.

>> From a French journalist’s foreword:

To use constantly and untiringly the same arguments, and to pound into the heads of his listeners the same formulas, is part of Hitler’s oratorical technique. . . . [He] is past master at throwing up verbal smoke screens . . . He knows equally well the effectiveness of massive oratorical assaults that shake the nerves of his victims or opponents . . . he knows how to give pledges that will be broken later . . . he uses insults and lies in the same manner as his generals use planes and tanks to break through the respectable but often weak front of his adversaries. . . . His crudity frequently borders on downright vulgarity.

Sound like anyone we know?

How else to explain all the good people who believe Trump is the victim of a witch hunt?

One of those good people — Jewish and a strong supporter of Israel, as it happens — reads this column daily; and, daily, sends refutation or taunt.

Yesterday, he sent this clip about remarks made by a former white Christian nationalist Trump appointee (whom Trump subsequently pardoned), blaming Jews for their deportations to the concentration camps.

My reader called it a reason to question Trump’s judgment (ya think?), “however, nothing Trump did compares to the Biden crime family bribe-taking, Afghanistan debacle and cutting down the oil production that created the 9% inflation.”

I pointed out all the obvious things anyone on “our side” would.

>> That leaving Afghanistan by May, 2021, was a deal TRUMP had committed the U.S. to and that — though it certainly could have gone better — it might not have been an easy thing for the military to execute even if Trump had still been in charge.

>> That attributing the spike in global inflation to Biden’s restrictions on future oil exploration — rather than to pent-up COVID demand, supply chain problems, and Russia’s invasion of Iraq — made no sense.

>> And that the “Biden crime family” consisted of one community college professor not known for her lavish lifestyle; one former drug and alcohol abuser who shamelessly traded on hi

What I want my evangelical Christian friends to know about Trump
by Issac Bailey August 19, 2023 6:00 AM

In the eyes of a significant number of white evangelical Christians, loyalty to Donald Trump is more important than following Jesus.

Trump is their Savior now.

It’s not hyperbole. It’s a sad reality in which we find ourselves, why the country hasn’t been able to move on from one of the most destructive political forces of the modern era.

I didn’t need media intelligence firm Zignal Labs and The Associated Press to tell me. They conducted an analysis of online and social media content earlier this year and found “tens of thousands of mentions calling Trump a martyr” when Trump faced his first indictment in New York during the Christian Holy Week. That number doubled when Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene compared Trump’s arrest to the literal persecution of Christ.

“Trump is joining some of the most incredible people in history being arrested today,” the congresswoman told Right Side Broadcasting. “Nelson Mandela was arrested, served time in prison. Jesus — Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government.”

I was at the New York courthouse in the days and hours leading up to Trump’s first arraigned. It was more circus and spectacle than crucifixion or execution.

Neither did I need Russell Moore, a former top official in the Southern Baptist Convention and current editor-in-chief of Christianity Today magazine, to tell me. Because I saw the beginnings of it during the end of my 17-year-long membership in a mostly-white Evangelical church in Conway, S.C. Because I noticed the shift in my daily interactions with people I once prayed with long before Moore recently told NPR that he believes Christianity is in crisis.

“It was the result of having multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — ‘turn the other cheek’ — [and] to have someone come up after to say, ‘Where did you get those liberal talking points?’ Moore told Scott Detrow of NPR. “And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ,’ the response would not be, ‘I apologize.’ The response would be, ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak.’ And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”

They’ve told pastors Jesus is weak, or at least his message, and that Trump is strong. They seem to believe following Trump instead of Jesus will get them to a promised land of glory and power quicker.


Or maybe they think, like that Zignal Labs analysis suggests, Trump is Jesus or a Jesus-like figure, though not the version who was born in a manger, hung out with the unclean, and washed other people’s feet to model humility and the importance of “the least of these.” Maybe in their minds, Trump is the Jesus of Revelation. He’s the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords with a sword in his mouth who has come back to judge the righteous and unrighteous, to wage war.

“I Am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end,” Jesus declared in Revelation, the final book of the New Testament.

During the 2016 Republican National Convention, Trump declared: “I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people who cannot defend themselves. Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it.”

Two thousand years ago, Jesus voluntarily became a sacrificial lamb, giving his life to save us from our sins. Trump voluntarily relinquished a billionaire’s lap of luxury — and even his salary as president — to save the country from its sins, they’ve argued while praising him. (Never mind the hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign actors his family made while he was in the White House, and since.)

Like Jesus, despite all Trump has had to endure — such as supposedly having an election stolen from him — the forme

Most people with diabetes are also fatty fat fatties that can't control their eating and shoot up insulin all day long while they gunk up their innards with bear claws and Ben and Jerry's. They can't even manage to keep their average level at the recommended 154mg/dL even though they're shooting up 60 to 100 units of insulin every day, and my average is 111mg/dL with only 20 units of long every morning.

Key docs case witness retracts 'false testimony' and implicates Trump:

Akey witness in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case has retracted their "false testimony" after switching lawyers, special counsel Jack Smith’s team contends in court filings obtained by Politico’s Kyle Cheney.

The witness is identified as “Employee 4” in Smith’s legal team’s notification to Judge Aileen Cannon.

Trump is making a huge legal mistake

Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis has been charged alongside him in the Georgia criminal case, said the former president isn’t picking up the tab for her defense.

And ex-Trump attorney and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was also indicted, reportedly traveled to Florida to plead for money for his defense, but didn’t get much.

Cohen said that decision could haunt the former president.

“He has not learned yet ... three people you don’t want to throw under the bus like that: your lawyer, your doctor, and your mechanic,” he told Collins. “Because, one way or the other, you’re gonna go down the hill and there’ll be no brakes.”

He said Giuliani in particular should cooperate with investigators.

“He’s gonna need to speak,” Cohen said. “And he’s gonna need to speak before everybody else does.”

Asked if Trump was making a mistake by not paying for Giuliani’s defense, Cohen shot back: “Absolutely.”

Trump Employee will testify against Trump
Aug. 22, 2023 7:13PM EDT

A former maintenance worker at Mar-a-Lago, now being eyed as a key witness to an attempt to conceal evidence from the government, retracted his grand jury testimony after switching lawyers, prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith’s office said in a Tuesday filing.

The unidentified staffer, named only as “Trump Employee 4” in the filing, but suspected to be Yuscil Taveras, who oversaw the club’s security camera system, initially told a grand jury that he hadn’t been privy to any attempt to delete security footage.

But after dumping his lawyer, Stanley Woodward, for another attorney offered up by the federal defender’s office in Washington, Taveras quickly reversed course.

“Immediately after receiving new counsel,” Smith’s office said in the filing, Taveras retracted his prior testimony and “provided information that implicated” Trump and his two alleged co-conspirators “in efforts to delete security camera footage.”

Sources familiar with the matter told ABC News that Taveras’ decision to switch lawyers and cooperate with Smith’s office came after he received a target letter from Smith in June, indicating he knew Taveras had perjured himself during his grand jury testimony, and warning of possible criminal charges.

Under the terms of their agreement, in exchange for his truthful testimony on the obstruction allegations, Smith will not prosecute Taveras for perjury.

A major Giuliani development has drawn less attention: An FBI whistleblower filed a statement asserting that Giuliani “may have been compromised” by Russian intelligence while working as a lawyer and adviser to Trump during the 2020 campaign.

That contention is among a host of explosive assertions from Johnathan Buma, an FBI agent who also says that an investigation involving Giuliani’s activities was stymied within the bureau.

In July, Buma sent the Senate Judiciary Committee a 22-page statement full of eye-popping allegations, and the document leaked and was first reported last month by Insider (after a conservative blogger had posted it online). According to Buma’s account, Giuliani was used as an asset by a Ukrainian oligarch tied to Russian intelligence and other Russian operatives for a disinformation operation that aimed to discredit Joe Biden and boost Trump in the 2020 presidential race. Moreover, Buma says he was the target of retaliation within the bureau for digging into this.

Buma’s revelations may only be the start. A source familiar with his work tells Mother Jones that other potential FBI whistleblowers who participated in the investigation involving Giuliani have consulted the same lawyer as Buma and might meet with congressional investigators in coming weeks. That attorney, Scott Horton, declined to comment.

Giuliani fixed NYC and then Democrats broke it worse than it ever was.

There Is Nothing Élitist About the Indictments Against Trump
by Adam Gopnik

Not long ago, I had the uncomfortable privilege of reporting for jury duty, and spent three days in a downtown courtroom—cursing the inconvenience, waiting to be called, and yet coming away inspired by the process. From a genuine cross-section of New Yorkers of many colors and classes, a jury was selected that seemed likely to do justice in a criminal case in which a man might be found guilty and deprived of his freedom. Waiting in the courtroom—though, by the luck of the draw, never called—I listened as the judge, a Black woman with a clear, soothing, rather Ina Garten-like voice, worked hard to spot biases, uncover conflicts of interest, discover outside attachments, and probe inadequate English to discover just how adequate it might become, while insisting, gently but keenly, that all potential jurors examine their consciences to be sure that they could judge the case objectively, according to the law.

It was touching, even encouraging, at this moment in history, to hear such old-fashioned terms—“impartial,” “following the law,” even “conscience”—used so confidently, and the judge’s explanation of how the trial would happen, with those honest consciences consulting one another after invigilating the facts, was still more impressive.

The circumstances of the juries that are likely to be impanelled to hear criminal trials of Donald Trump, presumably in the near future—in federal court in Washington, D.C., and in state court in Fulton County, Georgia, among other locales—are, I’m assured, recognizably alike. (The conservative converso David Frum wrote recently about serving on such D.C. juries, and of how impressive they were in the pluralism of their makeup and the seriousness of their purpose.)

Nonetheless, an effort is under way, not all of it from nakedly self-interested sources, to treat Trump’s criminal indictments (in which he denies all charges) as one more act in a kind of ongoing masquerade, or political pantomime. The indictments, in this view, do not simply submit him to the scrutiny of the law and that mixed box of fellow-citizens. They’re a strike of one discrete class against another, with “élite” Americans bent on settling a score with Trump and, through him, with his long-neglected supporters. The educated élite is out to get a tribune of the volk.

In recent weeks, David Brooks, in the Times, gently and empathetically, and David Von Drehle, in the Washington Post, more caustically, have both aired this by now well-rehearsed idea. Brooks wrote that “the Trump indictments seem like just another skirmish in the class war between the professionals and the workers, another assault by a bunch of coastal lawyers who want to take down the man who most aggressively stands up to them,” and Von Drehle noted that “I don’t think most Trump supporters actually want to live in a world where an elderly sociopath has unfettered power. But they do want to live in a world where those currently in power are cowed and cautious rather than smug. Trump delivers on that.”

Yet the empirical evidence does not support the idea that Trump and Trumpism are principally moved by those disposed by planetary capitalism or meritocratic displacement, and the vision of Trump as the voice of the economically anxious has been exploded as many times as it has been offered. If there is a pattern to Trumpite support, it seems to be that it is strongest among people—white, for the most part—who are among the wealthiest in their own communities, and fear a loss of status in the world at large. (This is a classic pattern of the rise of support for far-right nationalist groups—it isn’t only an aggrieved underclass but also a threatened portion of the overclass that supports fascism.)

Second, it is facially absurd, as lawyers say, to break down the pro- and anti-Trump divisions into that of an élite class against an overlooked one. Trump is a billionaire supported by billionaires. Some of those billionaires have developed cold feet o

The problem with the legal system is that it works too slowly. Trump can get away by dying during the interim between committing a crime and Trump being convicted.

Sept 7, 2023 -- Danny Masterson Is Sentenced to 30 Years to Life in Prison for Two Rapes more than 20 years in the past

The “That ’70s Show” actor was found guilty in May of raping two women in the early 2000s.

Danny Masterson, the actor best known for his role in the sitcom “That ’70s Show,” was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison on Thursday for the rapes of two women when he was at the height of his career more than 20 years ago.

Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo of Los Angeles Superior Court handed the sentence down after hearing statements from the women, who described the lasting impact of Masterson’s actions on their lives.

“The body is a relentless witness,” one of the accusers, identified as N. Trout, said in a statement that was read aloud in the courtroom on Thursday. “When you raped me you stole from me,” she said. “That is what rape is, a theft of the spirit.”

George Gascón, the Los Angeles district attorney, said he hoped the women’s bravery would be an example to others. “Justice was finally served today,” he said, noting that one of his top priorities was to ensure “Los Angeles will no longer be a hunting ground for Hollywood elite who feel entitled to prey on women.”

Shawn Holley, a lawyer for Masterson, told reporters outside the courtroom that she was “very disappointed” in the sentence, noting that a team of lawyers had reviewed the case and found “a number of significant evidentiary and constitutional issues” that they planned to use in appeals.

“Though we have great respect for the jury, and for our system of justice, sometimes they get it wrong — and that’s what happened here,” Holley said, noting that Masterson maintains his innocence.

Masterson, 47, will be eligible for parole in 20 years, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Masterson played Steven Hyde on “That ’70s Show” from 1998 to 2006 and also starred in the television comedy “Men at Work” from 2012 to 2014. More recently, he appeared in the Netflix comedy “The Ranch,” but was fired from the show in 2017 after the rape allegations emerged.

The case against Masterson drew widespread attention, and at times mirrored a television saga, in part because of accusations that the Church of Scientology, to which Masterson belonged, had tried to discourage his accusers.

In May, Masterson was convicted of raping two women at his home in the Hollywood Hills in the early 2000s. The jury deadlocked on a charge that the actor had raped a third woman.

The mixed verdict was delivered after a jury deadlocked on all three charges in November, resulting in a mistrial.

The retrial this spring lasted more than a month before Masterson was found guilty of two counts of rape by force or fear.

The legal case against Masterson began unfolding in 2020, when he was charged with three counts. He pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutions of Donald Trump are something to celebrate, not lament

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/09/trump-prosecutions-a
merican-democracy/675262
/ | September 9, 2023

Several distinguished individuals have recently expressed grave reservations about the prosecutions of former President Donald Trump. Notably, they appear to have no dispute about the seriousness of his wrongdoing. Rather, their main concern is that “terrible consequences” may result, because the prosecutions “may come to be seen as political trials … and play directly into the hands of Trump and his allies.” Although many Trump supporters will view the situation in just this way, any suggestion that prosecution is therefore unwise misconceives what is at stake here and, sadly, is evidence of America’s diminished national spirit.

For a free society wishing to preserve its governmental system, the prosecutions of Donald Trump for trying to overturn our democracy and willfully mishandling national secrets is not optional. They are the essential step that must be taken if America’s rule of law is going to survive, and be worthy of the trust that is essential to that survival. More hopefully, they offer the nation its single best chance of escaping from the appalling thrall of Trump’s lies and insults since he came down that escalator eight years ago.

One cannot imagine a more serious set of offenses by a sitting president against the nation than working deliberately to overturn the result of a democratic election—one that he clearly knew from his closest advisers he had lost—or illegally squirreling away and refusing to return some of the country’s most sensitive secrets. The seriousness is greatly magnified in the first instance by the extent and persistence of the conduct at issue, spanning many months and transcending multiple states and means used to change the electoral outcome. In the documents case, again, the amount of classified material and the persistence of evasive efforts to avoid returning the materials is breathtaking.

The extent and quality of the evidence of wrongdoing in both cases, including audio and video tapes, is also extraordinary, and reveals in countless ways that Trump was the primary driving force behind virtually all of the key misdeeds in both cases. In any situation where so much evidence exists, there will be complexities associated with prosecuting. And yes, a jury could nevertheless acquit or hang. But that risk is present in every criminal case, and is no reason to decline to prosecute.

To do so in these cases—featuring truly egregious wrongs personally committed by someone in a position of the highest trust—would be a failure of our vaunted system of equal justice at the most fundamental level. The planners and perpetrators of the January 6 events that Trump inspired and refused to stop are now receiving sentences of roughly 20 years; giving a pass to the person who unquestionably caused it all by violating his most sacred obligations to the nation would be unthinkable.

But it is not just an abstract commitment to justice—and to the idea that no person should be above the law—that urgently necessitates prosecution here. It is also the need to deter the worst forms of conduct that Trump has persisted in as we look forward to future elections, including those happening next fall. Although he failed to achieve his goal by illegal means in the election of 2020, he and many of his Republican allies are working hard not only to delegitimize the last election but to see that the next election will go his way regardless of the votes actually cast. If very strong evidence of such wrongdoing does not merit criminal enforcement, what is to deter Trump or anyone from trying to steal elections in the future?

You failed to read any of the indictments. In Trump's case, a million dollars per week in lawyer fees may convince four different juries and the following appeals that he doesn't deserve punishment, but he certainly deserves four trials to prove he is not guilty.

I have never known a Trumptard who wasn't a crook. They see no problems with their own behavior so it is no surprise that you, another Trumptard, could read four different indictments of Trump and see no problems with what he did. By the way, these crooked Trumptards get into deep trouble because of their behavior but they find their troubles incomprehensible since they do not know what bad behavior is. Why? Whatever they do is "good" by definition in their minds, if not in reality.

E. Jean Carroll Has Already Won a Second Trial Against Trump And it hasn’t even happened yet.

By Christina Cauterucci, Sept 11, 2023 5:45 AM

Last week, in a ruling on a defamation case in New York, a federal judge made a simple statement of fact: Donald Trump sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s. Therefore, when he denied it, he was lying.

The ruling marks a victory for Carroll in a second defamation lawsuit she filed against the former president. This one concerns a set of statements he made in 2019 accusing Carroll of being a liar and a money-grubbing left-wing operative who was not his “type.” Now, instead of jurors having to determine whether Trump did what Carroll said he did, the jury must only decide how much Trump owes Carroll in damages for defaming her by calling her a liar.

In many ways, Judge Lewis Kaplan’s decision was a no-brainer: A jury already found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll in a separate trial held this spring. That case concerned both the sexual assault itself and a set of statements Trump made in 2022 in which he denied assaulting Carroll. Since the first jury found Trump liable for both assaulting Carroll in the 1990s and defaming her in 2022, Kaplan had little choice but to rule that Trump’s nearly identical statements in 2019 defamed her as well. As Kaplan wrote in his ruling:

The truth or falsity of Mr. Trump’s 2019 statements … depends—like the truth or falsity of his 2022 statement—on whether Ms. Carroll lied about Mr. Trump sexually assaulting her. The jury’s finding that she did not therefore is binding in this case and precludes Mr. Trump from contesting the falsity of his 2019 statements.

Even so, it is remarkable to see the facts laid out this way in a dispassionate court ruling. No matter how intently Trump insists that he never did what Carroll said he did, the question of whether he sexually assaulted her is no longer up for debate. A jury found him liable. That verdict cannot be erased.

President Biden, Please Drop Out

ABOUT THIS PETITION

President Joe Biden has had a long and historied career in American government. He rescued us from the possibility of a second Trump term and we appreciate his service to the country. But at this point in time, we must have a strong, healthy candidate to make sure we avoid a fascist takeover of our government. Dear Mr. President, please do the right thing and bow out with dignity, so we can move on to the next generation of Democratic leaders - and so that we can defeat Donald Trump and the radical Republicans.

This week, six courts showed the importance of accountability for former president Donald Trump. The rulings came from the federal courts in Georgia and Florida, from state courts in New York and Georgia, and from appellate courts.

Judges from every ideological bent finally appear to be on to Trump’s favorite litigation tactic — delay, delay, delay — and that they are through with it. It’s worth digging into each case individually to see the full picture.

Special counsel Jack Smith is asking a judge to issue a gag order against Trump, prohibiting him from attacking potential witnesses in his criminal trials.

Trump’s public vitriol has unleashed harassment by Trump followers. The prosecution specifically cited Trump’s attacks on his former cybersecurity aide Chris Krebs, Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman and former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan as examples of figures who faced threats as a result of being singled out by the former president on social media.

A neuroscientist explains why MAGA supporters refuse to accept Trump's 91 felony charges

by Bobby Azarian, Raw Story
https://www.rawstory.com/raw-investigates/donald-trump-supporters/

When delving into the perplexing world of politics and the enigmatic figure of Donald Trump, we often encounter a peculiar phenomenon amongst his supporters: a staunch refusal to accept any criminal allegation or felony charge against him, no matter how compelling the evidence.

There are many neurological and psychological reasons for this irrational behavior. But today, we will focus on the mental phenomena I feel are most urgent to explore ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

Now that Trump is running for president again while facing 91 felony charges, I feel a moral responsibility to illuminate all the mental factors that are driving Americans to support a man who is a master manipulator, and incapable of telling the truth. Unfortunately, these are qualities that are too common among presidential candidates, but Trump is a particularly egregious example, and therefore we must be vigilant. This article is meant to inform but also to warn voters of what is to come.

Cognitive challenge of disbelief

In 2009, a study published in PLOS ONE challenged our understanding of belief systems.

Researchers placed participants into the confines of an fMRI scanner and presented them with a mixture of factual and abstract statements. The results were illuminating. Disbelief, it turns out, is cognitively demanding. It requires more mental effort than simply accepting a statement as true. From an evolutionary perspective, this preference for easy belief makes sense; a perpetually skeptical individual questioning every piece of information would struggle to adapt in a fast-paced world.

What does all this have to do with Trump supporters? Well, it’s far less cognitively demanding for them to believe anything their leader tells them. Any challenge to what Trump tells them is true takes mental work. This means there is a psychological incentive for Trump loyalists to maintain their loyalty. (I wrote about this phenomenon in a slightly different context in the Daily Beast article "Religious Fundamentalism: A Side Effect of Lazy Brains?")

Molding of belief: neuroplasticity at play

Now, let's consider the unique predicament faced by individuals who staunchly support Trump and want him to again become president. From the moment Trump began his political career and his social engineering career, his supporters have been exposed to narratives — Trump doesn't lie, Democrats are communists, the media is an enemy of the people — that emphasize loyalty and trust in their political idol. These narratives often steer away from critical examination and instead encourage blind faith. When coupled with the brain's inherent tendency to accept rather than question, it creates an ideal environment for unwavering allegiance. No matter that Trump, time and again, has been revealed to be a serial liar, habitually misrepresenting matters of great consequence, from elections to economics to public health.

For example, in the Psychology Today article "Why Evangelicals are Wired to Believe Trump’s Falsehoods," I explain that the children of Christian fundamentalists typically begin to suppress critical thinking at an early age. This is required if one is to accept Biblical stories as literal truth, rather than metaphors for how to live life practically and with purpose. Attributing natural occurrences to mystical causes discourages youth from seeking evidence to back their beliefs.

Consequently, the brain structures that support critical th

At this moment there are thousands of prisoners in downtown Houston awaiting trials that won't start for months. All prisoners are "innocent until proven guilty," but these innocents lost all freedom before evidence was submitted to a jury because they couldn't pay the bond to get out of jail. If they are convicted, their imprisonment will be softer and more comfortable than what these innocent people are enduring right now.

Signym, "innocent until proven guilty" does not mean what you think it means. The shortest explanation ever written is in Latin: Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat — "Proof lies on him who asserts, not on him who denies". The Latin is what goes on in the courtroom, but before the trial, the "innocent" accused are treated worse in county jail than convicted criminals in state prison.

https://www.harriscountyso.org/JailInfo/HCSO_FindSomeoneInJail.aspx In a properly run country, Trump would be in jail waiting for his trial to start, exactly like thousands of Texans are waiting today in the Harris County Jail. Trump would not be campaigning because he is no more "innocent" than those thousands.

6ix, Trumptards are unable to even recognize the limits that you should meticulously respect. Instead of keeping a decent distance from the limits and staying well within the law, you Trumptards talk about "Innocent Until Proven Guilty", which translates to your deliberately bad behavior daring the law to punish you. Trump's entire life has been about skirting the law, testing how much he can get away with doing. This is why he has been in court, being sued or charged with a crime, thousands of times.

Trump privately frets about life in prison

September 20, 2023, Rolling Stone reports:

In the past several months, Donald Trump has had a burning question for some of his confidants and attorneys:

Would the authorities make him wear “one of those jumpsuits” in prison?

As the criminal cases against him have piled up, the former president and 2024 GOP frontrunner has wondered aloud in recent months about what life would be like if he’s convicted, and if appeals fail. While Trump publicly professes confidence, privately, three sources familiar with his comments say, he’s been asking lawyers and other people close to him what a prison sentence would look like for a former American president.

Would he be sent to a “club fed” style prison — a place that’s relatively comfortable, as far these things go — or a “bad” prison? Would he serve out a sentence in a plush home confinement? Would government officials try to strip him of his lifetime Secret Service protections? What would they make him wear, if his enemies actually did ever get him in a cell — an unprecedented set of consequences for a former leader of the free world.

What would happen — including in the Fulton County, Georgia criminal case against him and various co-defendants — if he were convicted and sentenced, but also re-elected?

The private questions are a departure from the air of supreme confidence [and] invincibility Trump has projected. In interviews and elsewhere, he has claimed that the thought of losing in court and going to prison simply cannot enter his mind.

Instead of keeping a decent distance from the limits and staying well within the law, you Trumptards talk about "Innocent Until Proven Guilty", which translates to your deliberately bad behavior daring the law to punish you. Trump's entire life has been about skirting the law, testing how much he can get away with doing. This is why he has been in court, being sued or charged with a crime, thousands of times.

Be very careful what you wish for.

Trump privately frets about life in prison

September 20, 2023, Rolling Stone reports:

In the past several months, Donald Trump has had a burning question for some of his confidants and attorneys:

Would the authorities make him wear “one of those jumpsuits” in prison?

As the criminal cases against him have piled up, the former president and 2024 GOP frontrunner has wondered aloud in recent months about what life would be like if he’s convicted, and if appeals fail. While Trump publicly professes confidence, privately, three sources familiar with his comments say, he’s been asking lawyers and other people close to him what a prison sentence would look like for a former American president.

Would he be sent to a “club fed” style prison — a place that’s relatively comfortable, as far these things go — or a “bad” prison? Would he serve out a sentence in a plush home confinement? Would government officials try to strip him of his lifetime Secret Service protections? What would they make him wear, if his enemies actually did ever get him in a cell — an unprecedented set of consequences for a former leader of the free world.

What would happen — including in the Fulton County, Georgia criminal case against him and various co-defendants — if he were convicted and sentenced, but also re-elected?

The private questions are a departure from the air of supreme confidence [and] invincibility Trump has projected. In interviews and elsewhere, he has claimed that the thought of losing in court and going to prison simply cannot enter his mind.

Want to be an authoritarian? First you create a message that resonates with the blamers, whiners and complainers. Then you discredit the press, the courts and civil servants. Trumps been doing this since day one.

Once Trump started the process useful idiots lined up to join with him. Uneducated, whiny and corrupt individuals. Morons who would use their vote to vote for people who would strip them of their right to vote.
