Former US President Donald Trump should unveil his"plan" for how to end the Russian war against Ukraine in 24 hours, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with UK tabloid newspaper The Sun on Nov. 20.
"If he (Trump) has a real plan, please show it to us," the president said, adding that he is ready to meet with Trump.
Zelenskyy warned that there had been “enough words” in this war and any plan that involved handing Moscow parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts and the occupied Crimean peninsula was not a peace plan – it was capitulation.
According to the president, the Ukrainian people will not be ready to end the war in such a manner, and the plan itself is doomed to failure because Russia will occupy the territory, build up its strength, and attack again, as it did from 2014 until the full-scale invasion in early 2022.
On Sept. 16, Trump said that he would "solve the problem of the war" against Ukraine within 24 hours, but he did not provide any details of his plan.
Zelenskyy invited Trump to visit Ukraine in his interview with NBC News on Nov. 5. Trump declined the invitation (fearing humiliation by comedians).
The former US president has also previously said that he would "allow" Russia to capture part of Ukraine and that the United States is sending too many weapons to Ukraine.

At this point, the polling numbers and betting odds are a lot more about Biden* than they are about Trump. I'd suggest the idiot Democratic Party figure out that their lies to the American People aren't working and either come up with better ones or, yanno... do something right for a change.

Fuck Zelensky. He was begging Trump for money and telling him "It won't even need to be free money like the US has been giving us. I'll pay it back. I promise."
Trump don't owe that child rapist shit.
And you know I'm right when I said Zelensky is a dead man walking if he's desperate enough to get on camera and beg Donald Trump for a loan.
Oh... And Trump is +2.3 right now.

I was at the barbershop, this morning, getting ready for Thanksgiving. The Trumptards were pontificating about every subject imaginable, but on subjects I know for absolute certainty, these guys are full of shit. I knew some of these guys' personal lives were the same as their ideas -- a pile of shit -- but that didn't stop them. They think they have it all figured out despite convincing proof they know nothing. The day will come when they discover how mistaken they are and their benighted little souls will be crushed.

I've been rewarded. Semi-retired since 31 years old. Haven't worked at all for a boss since July of 2019.
Zero debt, very little in the way of monthly bills, I answer to no one.

Maybe you should thank the pirates for all the illegal downloads that you don't pay taxes on. If nothing else, you've got that.

Tom Edsall interviews a bunch of mental health folks today about Donald Trump's recent behavior. Here's one of them:
“Trump is an aging malignant narcissist,” Aaron L. Pincus, a professor of psychology at Penn State, wrote in an email. “As he ages, he appears to be losing impulse control and is slipping cognitively. So we are seeing a more unfiltered version of his pathology. Quite dangerous.”
In addition, Pincus continued, “Trump seems increasingly paranoid, which can also be a reflection of his aging brain and mental decline.”
This seems about right. Hardly anyone seems willing to say it, though, even though it's become more and more obvious over the past year.

Opinion | Why Trump Is a ‘Trifecta of Danger’
By Thomas B. Edsall | Nov. 22, 2023
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/22/opinion/trump-danger-rage-psycholog
y.html
The Roots of Trump’s Rage
Mr. Edsall contributes a weekly column from Washington, D.C., on politics, demographics and inequality.
Brian Klaas, a political scientist at University College London, captured the remarkable nature of the 2024 presidential election in an Oct. 1 essay, “The Case for Amplifying Trump’s Insanity.” Klaas argued that the presidential contest now pits “a 77-year-old racist, misogynist bigot who has been found liable for rape, who incited a deadly, violent insurrection aimed at overturning a democratic election, who has committed mass fraud for personal enrichment, who is facing 91 separate counts of felony criminal charges against him and who has overtly discussed his authoritarian strategies for governing if he returns to power”
against “an 80-year-old with mainstream Democratic Party views who sometimes misspeaks or trips.”
“One of those two candidates,” Klaas noted, “faces relentless newspaper columns and TV pundit ‘takes’ arguing that he should drop out of the race. (Spoiler alert: It’s somehow not the racist authoritarian sexual abuse fraudster facing 91 felony charges.)”
Klaas asked:
“What is going on? How is it possible that the leading candidate to become president of the United States can float the prospect of executing a general and the media response is … crickets?”
How is it possible that it’s not front page news when a man who soon may return to power calls for law enforcement to kill people for minor crimes? And why do so few people question Trump’s mental acuity rather than Biden’s, when Trump proposes delusional, unhinged plans for forest management and warns his supporters that Biden is going to lead us into World War II (which would require a time machine), or wrongly claims that he defeated Barack Obama in 2016?
The media, Klaas argued, has adopted a policy in covering Donald Trump of “Don’t amplify him! You’re just spreading his message.”
In Klaas’s view, newspapers and television have succumbed to what he called the “banality of crazy,” ignoring “even the most dangerous policy proposals by an authoritarian who is on the cusp of once again becoming the most powerful man in the world — precisely because it happens, like clockwork, almost every day.”
This approach, according to Klaas, has backfired. It’s bad for democracy. The “don’t amplify him” argument is disastrous. We need to amplify Trump’s vile rhetoric more, because it will turn persuadable voters off to his cruel message.
Looking over the eight and a half years during which Trump has been directly engaged in presidential politics, it’s not as if there had been no warning signs.
Three months after Trump took office, in April 2017, a conference called A Duty to Warn was held at the Yale School of Medicine.
The conference resulted in a best-selling book, “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.” A sampling of the chapter titles gives the flavor:
“Our Witness to Malignant Normality,” by Robert Jay Lifton.
“Unbridled and Extreme Hedonism: How the Leader of the Free World Has Proven Time and Again That He Is Unfit for Duty,” by Philip Zimbardo and Rosemary Sword.
“Pathological Narcissism and Politics: a Lethal Combination,” by Craig Malkin.
In a review of that book, as well as “Twilight of American Sanity: a Psychiatrist Analyzes the Age of Trump” and “Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire, a 500-Year History,” Carlos Lozada, now a Times Opinion columnist, wrote in The Washington Post that the political elite in Washington was increasingly concerned about Trump’s mind-set:
“I think he’s crazy,” Senator Jack Reed (D-R.I.) confided to his colleague Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) in a July exchange inadvertently caught on a microphone. “I’m worried,” she replied …. Even some Republicans have grown more blunt, with Senator Bob Corker

You guys reek of Desperation right now.
I've been telling you that Trump will be fine and Trump will be your next President for years now, and Biden* has been up just as much as he's been down in the polling in that time. But two months of negative Biden* polls and you're freakin' out.
You know that 101,176,932 don't give a shit. I know that 101,176,932 don't give a shit. She knows that 101,176,932 don't give a shit.
However, what I also know and what you and very-happy-and-not-at-all-a-40-year-old-cat-lady apparently don't know is that if any of those 101,176,932 people actually give a shit next November it's going to be because prices for everything sucks, nobody can afford to buy a home, and all we hear about anymore in the news is foreign wars, out-of-control crime and the highest level of illegal border crossings we've ever seen.
You'd better fucking hope and pray that come November 5th of next year that 101,176,932 people still don't give a shit.

The red state 'brain drain' is well underway — here's why
Many liberal and progressive pundits have been predicting a "brain drain" from red states — skillful, college-educated doctors, university professors and teachers leaving because of oppressive MAGA policies. OB-GYNs are worried about draconian anti-abortion laws; teachers and librarians are under attack from the far-right Moms for Liberty.
The New Republic's Timothy Noah, in an article published on November 22, emphasizes that the "brain drain" from red states isn't something that may or may not happen in the future — it's already underway.
"Republican-dominated states are pushing out young professionals by enacting extremist conservative policies," Noah reports. "Abortion restrictions are the most sweeping example, but state laws restricting everything from academic tenure to transgender health care to the teaching of 'divisive concepts' about race are making these states uncongenial to knowledge workers."

From reading one Trump tweet, successful people would conclude Trump is a wacko while Wackos would conclude Trump is their kind of person. All my life I have wondered at how Wackos delude themselves when it is perfectly obvious that they lack many of the personal characteristics they need to succeed in America. Vote for Trump, Wackos of America. He is all yours and you are all him.

Quote:
Until recently, Democrats’ biggest concern about the 2024 youth vote was that millennial and Gen-Z voters were so disappointed with our octogenarian president that they might not turn out in great enough numbers to reelect Joe Biden. Young voters were, after all, the largest and most rapidly growing segment of the Democratic base in the last election. But now public-opinion surveys are beginning to unveil a far more terrifying possibility: Donald Trump could carry the youth vote next year. And even if that threat is exaggerated or reversible, it’s increasingly clear that “the kids” may be swing voters, not unenthusiastic Democratic base voters who can be frightened into turning out by the prospect of Trump’s return.
Maybe the kids are alright.

It's being said that the DNC dithered too long about getting a non-Biden on the ticket, and now they HAVE to run him.
But seeing the polling numbers, the DNC must know they're facing an avalanche of votes and a level of scrutiny that no amount of legerdemain can overcome. (Hence, SECOND'S desire for a Trump assasination if he wins.)
I hope Trump wins.
SECOND and his fascist kind deserve a butt-puckering for screwing up America and hating Americans.
But I can also imagine that Biden won't be able to run, due to an unforseen "medical emergency", and shoe-horning someone like Gavin Newsom on the ticket.

Robert Reich is a fascist and an idiot who posts Leftist hate-speech as if it were gospel, and has been proven wrong about everything he has posted in the last decade.
If Democrats wanted to win, they should have dumped Biden* long ago and actually FIXED ALL THE FUCKING PROBLEMS THEY CREATED SINCE THEY STOLE THE ELECTION BY CHANGING ALL THE VOTING RULES FOR COVID.
They have nothing to run on, and a vegetable pretending to be a man who won't even debate anyone because it would have been clear to the American Public that he's the living embodiment of Mr. Potato Head if he had to spend 5 minutes at a podium with RFK Jr. on the other side.
And now Republicans and Trump himself have embraced all of the new election rules and are going to destroy Democrats in the 2024 General Election. JUST LIKE I FUCKING TOLD YOU THEY WOULD.
Democrats have destroyed themselves. They have nobody to blame but themselves when they are obliterated next November.
And fuck you, Robert Reich. Instead of telling people the truth and calling out your own party when they were fucking up, you became a mouthpiece for all their missteps and you are part of the problem. You need to stop talking.
America is NOT at its best when there's only one choice. But ONE CHOICE is all that Today's Democrats have left us with. And if people like Robert Reich had been doing their fucking jobs and actually investigating BOTH SIDES EQUALLY and TELLING THE TRUTH to The People instead of being reliable partisan shills, we wouldn't be in the situation that we're in right now.

Trump up +2.6 in the polling aggregate today.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/general-ele
ction-trump-vs-biden-7383.html
Once that Rasmussen poll gets updated, there won't be a single poll showing Biden* up on Trump.
Funny, that. Rasmussen was the only poll showing Trump leading Biden* more often than not leading up to 2020.
And just for reference, Joe Biden* was up nearly 10 points on the aggregate 4 years ago, with Hillary Clinton up over 4 points on Trump 8 years ago.

Last month Louisiana elected Republican Jeff Landry to be their next governor. Landry is at war with his state's biggest city, New Orleans:
He has threatened to withhold state funding for the city’s water infrastructure until the DA agrees to prosecute women who violate the state’s abortion ban by seeking the procedure.
There was a time when Republicans almost went berserk if you suggested they wanted to prosecute women who got abortions. Slander! They wanted to go after doctors and clinics but not the women themselves, who were victims almost as much as the aborted fetuses. How dare liberals misrepresent them so deceitfully?
But guess what? This is what they wanted to do all along. They were just afraid to say it during the period when they were trying to seem sort of moderate and non-scary. Now that they've finally gotten the power they wanted, there's no need for the charade any longer.

Influential Evangelical Leader Takes on Trump in Brutal Tirade
President and CEO of The Family Leader, a Christian conservative group based in Iowa, Vander Plaats has become increasingly vocal about his dislike of the Donald. In May, he told NewsNation that he was done for good with the former president, and that voters were “exhausted and tired” and it was time to “turn the page.”

LOL, who?
Whoever your new hero is, he ain't going to tell anybody to vote for Joe Biden*. He's either bought and paid for by Ron DeSantis or bought and paid for by Nikki Haley right now. After the Primary is over he's either going to tell everyone to vote for Trump or he's just going to disappear and not say anything.
Meanwhile, in reality...
Trump is up +2.6 in the polling aggregate when he was 10 points behind Biden* at the same time 4 years ago.
Betting odds on Trump have climbed to almost double digits at 36.3 to 27.6

Trump has led in more polls against Biden* in the past 3 weeks than he did the entire 2019-2020 cycle.
His current lead in the aggregate is the highest it's ever been. Not just in 2024.
Ever.
And we all know that Democrats have performed far below the polling figures in the last two elections.

By the way, Jeff Davis followed all the legal rules to become President of the Confederacy, but President Buchanan could have forcefully canceled Jeff Davis's legal arguments that he was a rightful President.

But maybe they can understand who the bad guy is in a movie? Signym, let's see if you can understand either version of the movie Cape Fear:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Fear_(1991_film)#Plot
By the way, Trump would be the antagonist and Biden the protagonist in the plot, but Trump plus his Trumptards think they are protagonists. In both Cape Fear movies, the antagonist who had as much trouble with the law as Trump has, was absolutely certain that god was on his side and that the protagonist/lawyer was truly evil for prosecuting the antagonist. Eventually, the protagonist has to stop being a lawyer and actually fight the evil antagonist with the antagonist's methods.
It is silly how Trumptards and other Retards of the world, no matter how worthless their troubled lives, always see themselves as heroes when they are the zeros or worse. Signym, when you or 6ix misidentify who you are, as in thinking you are smart or heroic or hardworking when you are actually stupid or cowardly or lazy, that is the main reason you and so many Americans have hard and disappointing lives filled with unnecessary drama that fools like you stumble into.

Wait for it. He goes after Chicago murder rate. It turns out his state is tied with Chicago. It further turns out in 2020, states that voted for Trump had per Capata murder rates 40% higher than states that voted for Biden.
Eight out of ten states with the highest murder rate voted for the Republican presidential nominee in the last century.

One reason why U.S. politics is so contested is because a battle is taking place between two rival growth models. One growth model is represented by the economies of the two coasts – software, media, government, finance, real estate, and the like. The other model is found in the part of the country going from Alaska down the Dakotas through Appalachia, Texas, the panhandle, and so on. This has a growth model based around the transformation, excavation, and derivatives of carbon: farms, fertilizer, and fuel.
These two growth models are in fundamental conflict. The coasts would love green energy, but the more that the U.S. turns green, the worse it is for parts of the country that are heavily invested in carbon assets. As Jeff Colgan, Jessica Green, and Thomas Hale have argued, this gives rise to “existential politics.” Getting to cheap green electricity would effectively devalue or defund North Dakota and Shell. This existential fight is reshaping the Democratic and Republican coalitions.
Which is likely to win?
It’s on a knife edge. If the Democrats win next time around, they can keep on putting facts on the ground – building battery factories and associated technology plants in states like Georgia and turning them blue, or breaking off part of the Texas vote with benefits and infrastructure for wind power. But it’s enormously fragile. If Trump and the Republicans win, it may be the end of the green transition in the U.S. I don’t think people have woken up to that yet.
If Trump wins and the U.S. goes big on the carbon growth model, people there will get a massive short-term return on investment, because the world is carbon short right now, and it needs American liquid natural gas. But as the rest of the world decarbonizes, you know what it won’t need in a decade or so? Very much oil.

Except that is not "economy", that is FINANCE. Ignorant people conflate them all the time. Finance is fiddling with money in FIRE (finance, insurance, real estate).
An ECONOMY is based on production of real things: food, timber, steel, cement, fiber, batteries, chips, machine parts, and the like.
Not having an ECONOMY is why the USA is losing the war in Ukraine. Not having an ECONOMY is why we're dependent on China and the value of our dollar, so we can buy things on credit and run a negative balance of trade "forever".

Farming, ranching, and forestry has a positive impact, and can have a highly positive impact on GHG, if managed properly.
Industry does need fuel, but there are ways to make it more efficient. One way to make it more efficient is to stop producing wasteful products, like superyachts, private jets, dysfunctional military hardware, and shoddy irreparable consumer goods.
Building production plants that are efficient and that make useful things of durable value is a lot better for the environment AND for our nation than offshoring it to China, India or wherever and having THEM emit GHC.
Part of the reason why "the coasts" might be in love with "green" is bc they have no idea where the "things" in their lives come from.
Food comes from farms. Chocolate milk does NOT come from brown cows! Electrcity comes from power plants. Solar cells come from factories. Clothes are made of fabric, and fabric is made on looms from thread, which comes from mills. Bread comes from bakeries.
Having source tested at all kinds of industries, I'm a lot more aware than most about how stuff is made.
It should be part of every high school curriculum, beside reading, writing, math, homemaking skills, critical thinking, and personal finance, to learn about the world of production. There should be a course on "how things are made" and nothing drives that point home like visiting something big: a refinery, a coking plant, a power plant, a cement kiln, a steel mill, a farm, a water purification plant, even a landfill.
Quote:Again, misrepresenting the "sides". "Shell" is not ALL of production. There is a lot of production that ISN'T "Shell", or Exxon, or BPArco.
As Jeff Colgan, Jessica Green, and Thomas Hale have argued, this gives rise to “existential politics.” Getting to cheap green electricity would effectively devalue or defund North Dakota and Shell. This existential fight is reshaping the Democratic and Republican coalitions.
And getting clean cheap electricity?
GREAT, if it happens. But right now that's an irrelevant point bc it hasn't happened yet, and is not likely to happen in the foreseeable future. And in addition, there is lot of production that can't use electricity. You're not about to grow wheat or make cement with electricity.
This article is stupid beyond belief and plays to people's general ignorance and bias.
But the article is right about one thjng: this is existential for everyone, bc people can't exist without things, and things need to be produced.

Imagine If You Could Have Averted World War II

And just by reading an article like this — A Trump Dictatorship Is Increasingly Inevitable (only in German) — and then joining with millions of others to make sure the would-be dictator was soundly defeated at the polls.
“There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States,” argues Robert Kagan in the Washington Post, “and it is getting shorter every day. So why is everyone behaving like normal?”
Read it and let me know what you think:
A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending.
By Robert Kagan | Nov 30, 2023
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/30/trump-dictator-2024
-election-robert-kagan/
Robert Kagan, a Post Opinions contributing editor, is the author of “Rebellion: How Antiliberalism Is Tearing America Apart — Again,” which will be published by Knopf in May.
Let’s stop the wishful thinking and face the stark reality: There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. In 13 weeks, Donald Trump will have locked up the Republican nomination. In the RealClearPolitics poll average (for the period from Nov. 9 to 20), Trump leads his nearest competitor by 47 points and leads the rest of the field combined by 27 points. The idea that he is unelectable in the general election is nonsense — he is tied or ahead of President Biden in all the latest polls — stripping other Republican challengers of their own stated reasons for existence. The fact that many Americans might prefer other candidates, much ballyhooed by such political sages as Karl Rove, will soon become irrelevant when millions of Republican voters turn out to choose the person whom no one allegedly wants.
For many months now, we have been living in a world of self-delusion, rich with imagined possibilities. Maybe it will be Ron DeSantis, or maybe Nikki Haley. Maybe the myriad indictments of Trump will doom him with Republican suburbanites. Such hopeful speculation has allowed us to drift along passively, conducting business as usual, taking no dramatic action to change course, in the hope and expectation that something will happen. Like people on a riverboat, we have long known there is a waterfall ahead but assume we will somehow find our way to shore before we go over the edge. But now the actions required to get us to shore are looking harder and harder, if not downright impossible.
The magical-thinking phase is ending. Barring some miracle, Trump will soon be the presumptive Republican nominee for president. When that happens, there will be a swift and dramatic shift in the political power dynamic, in his favor. Until now, Republicans and conservatives have enjoyed relative freedom to express anti-Trump sentiments, to speak openly and positively about alternative candidates, to vent criticisms of Trump’s behavior past and present. Donors who find Trump distasteful have been free to spread their money around to help his competitors. Establishment Republicans have made no secret of their hope that Trump will be convicted and thus removed from the equation without their having to take a stand against him.
All this will end once Trump wins Super Tuesday. Votes are the currency of power in our system, and money follows, and by those measures, Trump is about to become far more powerful than he already is. The hour of casting about for alternatives is closing. The next phase is about people falling into line.
In fact, it has already begun. As his nomination becomes inevitable, donors are starting to jump from other candidates to Trump. The recent decision by the Koch political network to endorse GOP hopeful Nikki Haley is scarcely sufficient to change this trajectory. And why not? If Trump is going to be the nominee, it makes sense to sign up early while he is still grateful for defectors. Even anti-Trump donors must ask whether their cause is best served by shunning the man who stand

Why Cornel West is broke
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimadenham/2023/12/01/why-cornel-west-i
s-broke/?sh=59df9dec55aa
Cornel West has been a fixture of American society for more than three decades, publishing books, teaching at Ivy League institutions, commenting on cable news, collaborating on music with Prince—even popping up in sequels to the Matrix. Ubiquity provided liquidity, with West earning an estimated $15 million or so over the last 30 years. But oddly, as he mounts an independent run for president, his net worth resembles that of a first-year adjunct professor. “I live paycheck to paycheck,” says West.
A review of federal filings and property records confirms that West’s net worth is near zero. Other outlets have previously reported on his troubles paying taxes over the years. But no one so far has explained how someone so successful became so broke. With West in position to affect who becomes America’s next president, Forbes set out to answer that question, digging into heaps of legal and tax documents filed in various jurisdictions over six decades. Turns out much of the damage was self-inflicted.
West burst onto the national scene in the 1990s with Race Matters, a compilation of essays that sold more than 500,000 copies. He traveled the country to deliver speeches, hauling in more than $500,000 a year. Much of the money flowed to him with no taxes deducted. West blew it—on many things, especially women—leaving little left for Uncle Sam by the time tax season arrived. The liens piled up: $144,000 in 1998, $105,000 in 2000, $205,000 in 2001 and so on. “Almost like a reptile biting its tail,” he says now.
West lived in a Four Seasons condo in Boston, which he later admitted he could not afford, and rode around in a Mercedes or Cadillac. One of his four ex-wives accused West of maintaining a covert apartment in Boston for $5,000 a month to use as a love den. She also alleged that, despite not having any health conditions, he later took a medical leave from his job at Harvard to live a “secret life” with another woman in New Mexico.
In court documents filed in 2002 and 2003, West did not deny burning money on affairs, at least one of which produced a child. (He acknowledged he had an 18-month-old daughter at the time.) And in his 2009 memoir, Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud, West confirms some of the less-salacious details. But when asked in November to respond to claims he’d “hid or wasted” close to a million dollars, at least some of which went to support extramarital affairs, West offered via email that “The allegations were too ridiculous to attend to–then and now, my brother!” He did not respond to a follow-up inquiry that detailed his ex-wife’s specific allegations.
In 2002, he blamed his financial troubles on other factors, such as his soon-to-be ex-wife’s propensity to spend money on Chanel clothing, upscale dining and antique furniture. More recently, after news about his tax liens surfaced, West elaborated on the genesis of his debt problems, suggesting the student loans he incurred as an undergraduate put him in a “black hole” that he could never escape.
That’s nonsense. After three decades in the public eye, West has earned more than enough money to repay his student loans. Without enormous earnings, West would not owe the federal government so much in unpaid taxes (he still has about $483,000 in outstanding tax liens today). The real explanation for West’s financial problems: recklessness. Despite his professorial appearance — West is famous for his toothy smile and W. E. B. Du Bois-inspired, three-piece suits — he has spent and lived wildly, impregnating and abandoning multiple women, leaving him with significant divorce and child-support payments, some of which he failed to pay. If government leadership is largely about managing money and maintaining relationships, it’s hard to imagine anyone else in the field who is less prepared for the job than Cornel West. Trump

I've grossed little over $250k my entire life. I haven't had any income for 4 1/2 years. I don't live paycheck to paycheck.
Reason #1: No wife (wives).
Reason #2: No ex-wife (ex-wives).
Reason #3: No kids.
Reason #4: Paid cash for house.
Reason #5: 25+ year old car that I bought for $2k cash back in 2008 and kept running until the government is going to make me sell it next year when it can't pass an emissions test.
But really West... It's the women man. I'm sure you had some fun times, but holy shit bro. I could have lived like a king off of the interest you could have been making until the sun burned out.
You couldn't get that shit out of your system by your late 20's?

Republican Senator Rebuked in Home State Newspaper Column: 'Embarrassment'
Kennedy asked Dr. Megan Ranney, dean of the Yale School of Public Health, about gun violence in Chicago, a city conservatives frequently say has a high crime rate due to progressive prosecutorial policies. However, when Ranney explained that Kennedy's home state has a higher firearms death rate than Chicago, Kennedy dismissed her response as "word salad."
According to a study conducted by the Violence Policy Center, Louisiana had a gun rate death of 28.42 in 2022. Chicago had a gun rate death of roughly 25.82 for that same year, according to a Newsweek analysis of the city's 2022 crime data.

It's not just Biden
Matthew Yglesias | Dec 4, 2023
https://www.slowboring.com/p/its-not-just-biden
Joe Biden’s current polling is bad, and there are a lot of theories as to why.
I have some theories of my own, but relevant context for any theory is that Justin Trudeau’s polling in Canada is much worse. That could support a story about how political currents in the Anglophone world are tilting sharply against progressives, perhaps a backlash to wokeness and the welfare state. But a Conservative Party is in office in the UK, and their polling is, if anything, even worse than Trudeau’s. Back in October, New Zealand turned out their governing center-left party and the right scored a big win. But in the spring of 2022, Australian voters kicked out a conservative incumbent government and brought the center-left to power.
Which is to say incumbents have been losing across the English-speaking world.
The partisan politics of Ireland are a little hard to characterize, but right now the country is governed by an unusual coalition of the two main parties, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil. The grand coalition is currently polling at a combined 37 percent, and if an election were held tomorrow (which it won’t be — it’s not scheduled until 2025), there would probably be an unprecedented Sinn Fein government as a result.
I’ve been tempted, based on this kind of casual empiricism, to assert that Biden’s bad numbers are a part of a nearly universal pattern in which every incumbent government is either unpopular or else already lost an election since the big inflation wave of 2021-2022. A more systematic review of the evidence (done with help from Maya) shows that’s not exactly correct. But it is approximately true. And I think it supports the view that the global fundamentals are just ugly for incumbents.
Voters wanted the end of the pandemic to mean immediate restoration of 2019 economic conditions, but that was not possible. And even in places where the rate of inflation has come down, people are still bitter about what transpired.
I think it’s useful to look at who has won re-election in 2022 and 2023:
Viktor Orban was re-elected in April 2022.
About a week later, Emanuel Macron was re-elected in France, but it was the best-ever result for the opposition National Front, and Macron’s party lost its majority in parliament.
In Portugal, a center-left minority government faced a crisis because left-wing parties wouldn’t back its budget proposal, and this led to an election in which a lot of left voters defected to the center-left, giving them a majority.
Pedro Sanchez’s center-left government in Spain lost its majority in July of 2023, but after months of talks, he was able to stay in power by making a deal with small separatist parties.
In Denmark, Mette Fredericksen’s coalition of progressive parties lost power, but she stayed on as prime minister by forming a grand coalition with some center-right parties.
The key thing is that out of these five, really only Hungary and Portugal represented strong results for the incumbent governments. By contrast, we’ve had clear turnovers of power in Australia, the Czech Republic, Israel, Italy, South Korea, Sweden, Bulgaria, New Zealand, Luxembourg, Poland, Estonia, and Finland. And though coalition talks have not yet finished, things in the Netherlands seem to be headed in the same direction.
In addition to the aforementioned unpopular incumbents in Canada and the UK, Fumio Kishida’s approval rating is underwater (32-35), and Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats are currently polling in third place in Germany.
All of which is to say that while there is a bit of a global trend toward anti-immigrant parties, the dominant global trend seems more toward incumbents being unpopular and losing.

Even Fox News couldn’t air Donald Trump’s election lies in full
By Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling | December 4, 2023
https://newrepublic.com/post/177281/fox-news-forced-fact-check-trump-e
lection-lies
During a couple of back-to-back campaign stops in Iowa, Trump reiterated claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and even went so far as to claim he wanted to “redo the election” and encourage his followers in Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta to “watch those votes when they come in” in 2024.
Fox News took note.
“Well, the former president finally got around to some campaign promises amid lots of cheering, as you heard,” said Fox host Arthel Neville. “Many untruths; the 2020 election was not rigged, it was not stolen.”
The live react could be part of a turning tide for Fox, which earlier this year settled a historic lawsuit for failing to dispute similar election lies, paying a whopping $787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems. The network is still in the throes of another, $2.7 billion lawsuit by Smartmatic, another voting machine company allegedly defamed by Fox’s conduct.
Still, it’s not the first time Trump and Neville have clashed—in 2019, the former president tweeted that Neville and fellow hosts Leland Vittert and Shepard Smith should quit Fox in favor of CNN.
That wasn’t the only headline Trump was after on Saturday. In the same tour, Trump claimed that he invented the term “caravan” and unironically claimed that he was God-chosen in the 2020 election.
“I think if you had a real election and Jesus came down and God came down and said, ‘I’m gonna be the scorekeeper here,’ I think we’d win [in California], I think we’d win in Illinois, and I think we’d win in New York,” Trump said.

Trump Will Abandon NATO
By Anne Applebaum | December 4, 2023
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/01/trump-2024-reelec
tion-pull-out-of-nato-membership/676120/
If reelected, he would end our commitment to the European alliance, reshaping the international order and hobbling American influence in the world.
Editor’s Note: This article is part of “If Trump Wins,” a project considering what Donald Trump might do if reelected in 2024.
“I don’t give a shit about NATO.” Thus did former President Donald Trump once express his feelings about America’s oldest and strongest military alliance. Not that this statement, made in the presence of John Bolton, the national security adviser at the time, came as a surprise. Long before he was a political candidate, Trump questioned the value of American alliances. Of Europeans, he once wrote that “their conflicts are not worth American lives. Pulling back from Europe would save this country millions of dollars annually.” NATO, founded in 1949 and supported for three-quarters of a century by Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike, has long been a particular focus of Trump’s ire. As president, Trump threatened to withdraw from NATO many times — including, infamously, at the 2018 NATO summit.
But during Trump’s time in office, the withdrawal never happened. That was because someone was always there to talk him out of it. Bolton says he did; Jim Mattis, John Kelly, Rex Tillerson, Mike Pompeo, and even Mike Pence are thought to have done so too.
But they didn’t change his mind. And if Trump is reelected in 2024, none of those people will be in the White House. All of them have broken with the former president, in some cases dramatically, and there isn’t another pool of Republican analysts who understand Russia and Europe, because most of them either signed statements opposing him in 2016 or criticized him after 2020. In a second term, Trump would be surrounded by people who either share his dislike of American security alliances or don’t know anything about them and don’t care. This time, the ill will that Trump has always felt toward American allies would likely manifest itself in a clear policy change. “The damage he did in his first term was reparable,” Bolton told me. “The damage in the second term would be irreparable.”
Institutionally, and maybe even politically, leaving NATO could be difficult for Trump. As soon as he announced his intentions, a constitutional crisis would ensue. Senate approval is required for U.S. treaties — but the Constitution says nothing about congressional approval for withdrawal from treaties. Recognizing this gap in the law, Democratic Senator Tim Kaine and Republican Senator Marco Rubio introduced legislation, which has already passed the Senate, designed to block any U.S. president from withdrawing from NATO without two-thirds Senate approval or an act of Congress. Kaine told me he feels “confident that the courts would uphold us on that and would not allow a president to unilaterally withdraw,” but there would certainly be a struggle. A public-relations crisis would unfold too. A wide range of people — former supreme allied commanders, former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, former presidents, foreign heads of state — will surely rally to make the case for NATO, and very loudly.

Trump’s second term agenda: revenge
By David Frum | December 5, 2023
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/01/donald-trump-reel
ection-second-term-agenda/676119/
If Trump is elected, it very likely won’t be with a majority of the popular vote. Imagine the scenario: Trump has won the Electoral College with 46 percent of the vote because third-party candidates funded by Republican donors successfully splintered the anti-Trump coalition. Having failed to win the popular vote in each of the past three elections, Trump has become president for the second time. On that thin basis, his supporters would try to execute his schemes of personal impunity and political vengeance.
In this scenario, Trump opponents would have to face a harsh reality: The U.S. electoral system has privileged a strategically located minority, led by a lawbreaking president, over the democratic majority. One side outvoted the other. The outvoted nonetheless won the power to govern.
The outvoted would happily justify the twist of events in their favor. “We are a republic, not a democracy,” many said in 2016. Since that time, the outvoted have become more outspoken against democracy. As Senator Mike Lee tweeted a month before the 2020 election: “Democracy isn’t the objective.”
So long as minority rule seems an occasional or accidental result, the majority might go along. But once aware that the minority intends to engineer its power to last forever—and to use it to subvert the larger legal and constitutional system—the majority may cease to be so accepting. One outcome of a second Trump term may be an American version of the massive demonstrations that filled Tel Aviv streets in 2023, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tried to remake Israel’s court system.
And what might follow that? In 2020, Trump’s advisers speculated about the possibility of using the Army to crush protests against Trump’s plans to overturn that year’s election. Now those in Trump’s circle are apparently thinking further ahead. Some reportedly want to prepare in advance to use the Insurrection Act to convert the military into a tool of Trump’s authoritarian project. It’s an astonishing possibility. But Trump is thinking about it, so everybody else must—including the senior command of the U.S. military.
If a president can summon an investigation of his opponents, or summon the military to put down protests, then suddenly our society would no longer be free. There would be no more law, only legalized persecution of political opponents. It has always been Trump’s supreme political wish to wield both the law and institutional violence as personal weapons of power—a wish that many in his party now seem determined to help him achieve.

Trump Campaign Strikes Back At 'Dictator' Hit-Piece In WaPo, Gaetz Says 'Green-Lighting Assassination'
Tuesday, Dec 05, 2023 - 08:05 AM
Over the last week, several outlets published articles warning that a second Trump term would turn America into a dictatorship.
The Washington Post most notably ran a piece written by Robert Kagan, husband of Former State Department official Victoria Nuland (who was deeply involved in peddling the Steele dossier) titled "A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending."
Many suggested this was a clear call to assassinate the former US President.
Let’s stop the wishful thinking and face the stark reality: There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. In 13 weeks, Donald Trump will have locked up the Republican nomination.
[…] Are we going to do anything about it? To shift metaphors, if we thought there was a 50 percent chance of an asteroid crashing into North America a year from now, would we be content to hope that it wouldn’t? Or would we be taking every conceivable measure to try to stop it, including many things that might not work but that, given the magnitude of the crisis, must be tried anyway?
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said in response on X, "They're obviously green-lighting assassination."
In addition to the post, The Atlantic and the NY Times have also published stories warning of a "Trump dictatorship" in recent days, with the Times suggesting that a second Trump term would likely be more radical than his first, The Hill reports.
"All of these articles calling Trump a dictator are about one thing: legitimizing illegal and violent conduct as we get closer to the election," wrote Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) on X. "Everyone needs to take a chill pill."

Republicans still think Democrats stole the 2020 election
https://jabberwocking.com/republicans-still-think-democrats-stole-the-
2020-election/
This is not news, but here's a recent poll finding about the 2020 election. It's for Republicans only:
Among Republican voters who support Trump in the primaries, 86% think he was the rightful winner of the 2020 election and 61% think there was outright fraud from Democrats.
Those are basically Trump cultists. But even among the non-Trump voters, 41% think Trump rightfully won the election. That's a majority of those who expressed an opinion.
For what it's worth, this is one of the answers to the question of why even moderate Republicans still plan to vote for Trump rather than Biden. In their view, it's Democrats who are a threat to democracy, and all Trump is doing is fighting back.
It looks like Republicans have pretty much given up on Ukraine, but not Israel:
Republicans only like wars that Republicans start. They get tired of wars supported by Democratic presidents pretty quickly, even if, as in this case, it means giving Vladimir Putin whatever he wants.

And let's not pretend like Democrats don't cry foul every time they lose an election dude. There are plenty of videos out there of prominent Democrats at a podium or in live interviews claiming elections were stolen every time they lost, going all the way back to Bush/Gore.
So I guess the real question here is, what's your fucking point?

That is pretty much the whole story from all Republicans. They lose when Democrats cheat because "God" (by which they mean themselves) wants Trump. You might disbelieve it but a Democracy can't function when that attitude is widespread.
Google 'where did Trump say god would elect him' and you will see this is not a recent change. Republicans have been doing that often and doing that will break the country.
Obviously to me, the Republicans think the country needs breaking. Also obvious, the Republicans are broken and malfunctioning people. They don't see themselves as malfunctioning, but they are very much broken inside their minds, which shows up outside, in their everyday life. 6ix, smoke some cigarettes today and lay around doing nothing to prove you are a superior performing person who deserves better in life. Maybe post something about Hollywood's failures at selling tickets. That is a good use for a short life. (No, it is NOT)

The feds are going to use Trump's tweets dating back to 2012 that baselessly claimed election fraud against him
Trump is no longer on Twitter, but his old tweets keep coming back to haunt him.
Jack Smith plans to use Trump's tweets, from as far back as 2012, in his 2020 election trial.
The tweets show Trump's "plan of falsely blaming fraud for election results," a court filing alleges.
Former President Donald Trump may no longer be on Twitter (now known as X). But that doesn't mean his old tweets can't come back to haunt him.
The special counsel Jack Smith plans to use Trump's tweets, some of which date as far back as 2012, to convince a jury of the former president's peers that he engaged in a conspiracy to defraud the US and illegally overturn the 2020 election results, according to a new court filing from Smith's office.
The filing alleges that Trump's public statements "sowed mistrust in the results of the presidential election and laid the foundation for the defendant's criminal efforts."
Trump has a "historical record of making such claims," the filing alleges. It points to a November 2012 tweet from Trump which baselessly claimed that voting machines "had switched votes from then-candidate [Mitt] Romney to then-candidate [Barack] Obama."
When Trump launched his own campaign in the 2016 election, he repeatedly claimed that there would be widespread voter fraud.

Donald Trump, the former president of the United States who tried to steal the 2020 election, says he’ll be a dictator on day one of a second term.
That’s not the rhetorical excess of the mainstream press, nor is it the cynical spin of a political rival. It’s just what Trump said.
During a town hall in Iowa last night, Fox News’s Sean Hannity tossed Trump what ought to have been softball question. “Under no circumstances, you are promising America tonight, you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?” Hannity asked. “Except for day one,” Trump replied.
This is a remarkable enough admission—practically every president abuses his power in some way, but few boast about it. What followed was even wilder.
“He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’” Trump riffed. “I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.’”
It’s not unusual for political candidates to accuse their opponents of being would-be fascists or authoritarians. Rivals of Franklin Roosevelt, Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, and Barack Obama, among many others, warned about these men’s supposed dictatorial ambitions. (Of course, none of those presidents mounted a months-long effort to steal an election, capped by inciting a violent assault on the Capitol.)
What is unusual, and in fact crazy, is for the rival to respond: Yeah, you bet I will.
Predicting the apologetics that anti-anti-Trumpers will employ here isn’t too hard. They’ll insist that this is just rhetorical flourish. They’ll say it’s fine, because he’s promising to limit his self-acknowledged abuse of powers to the noble causes of energy independence and border security. They’ve been using these excuses for years now.
But the people to heed here are Trump and his close allies, who are deliberately employing inflammatory rhetoric. In the same interview, Hannity gave the former president another chance to make a simple, bland statement of respect for laws, and Trump refused. (This is not the first time Hannity has tried to toss Trump a life buoy, only for Trump to fling it away with glee.)
“Do you in any way have any plans whatsoever, if reelected president, to abuse power? To break the law? To use the government to go after people?” Hannity asked. Trump’s response: “You mean like they’re using right now?”
The turnabout onto President Biden is dubious but typical. What’s missing is the easy addendum: And of course I reject these excesses and will get the country back on track. The problem is that everyone knows the former president would abuse his power, even the anti-anti-Trump apologists. And for his diehard supporters, that’s the real sell this time around. He is promising them that he’ll throw out the rulebook and exact revenge on his opponents.
“This is just not rhetoric. We’re absolutely dead serious,” Steve Bannon said yesterday on his podcast. Take that for what you will; the former Trump strategist has a history of trolling. But even if it is just rhetoric, that’s little comfort, given how many Americans are fine with it. Bannon was speaking with the former Trump-administration utility player Kash Patel, who promised to go after the free press.
“Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections—we’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminally or civilly, we’ll come after you,” he said. Patel, who’s more intellectually agile than Trump, then walked it back a bit: “We’re actually going to use the Constitution to prosecute them for crimes they said we have always been guilty of but never have.”
Who can be against people being prosecuted if they’ve truly committed crimes? But lying, though deplorable, is not a crime; no one rigged the election; and Patel’s posture is that he’ll find crimes to fit the defendants, not the other way around. The substance aside, Patel is following Trump’s lead: When accused of seeking to abuse power, he is happy to agree.

You're a nasty person, and a liar, THUGR. Been owned by your own lies!
TRUMP is an intemperate person with galloping adult ADHD. I'm not about to defend his tweets. But there are things Trump did NOT do, that I hope he or his better- focused underlings manage to do soon:
* He did not enagage in a conspiracy with the FBI, CIA, the DOJ, MI6, a Presidential candidate and her law firm, and all of the M$M to baselessly and maliciously accuse a political rival of treason. Considering all of the shit that the DNC did, he COULD, actually, accuse them of treason, with cause.
* He did not round up Congress to baselessly and maliciously impeach anyone. But Hunter and Joe Biden (oh, and Hillary and Pelosi and others) have so much dirt on them, if the DOJ were impartial they would have been on trial years ago.
* He did not open the southern border, start a feckless war against Russia, direct the government, media, and social to engage in widespread censorship.
* Baselessly and maliciously accuse mostly peaceful protestors of "insurrection" and jail them on false charges and cherry- picked "evidence" while ignoring violent BLM/ ANTIFA rioters, and respond to race- based riots with appeasement, "defund the police", "taking a knee", and "reparations".
* Support pointless, unscientific, and potentially dangerous experimental vaccine mandates.
The DC swamp, the media, and the DNC have a lot ... A LOT... to answer for, including blantant international corruption, shredding our borders and our Constitution and imposing widespread censorship. THEY know what they did, EVEN IF YOU DON'T. No wonder they're terrified that their former victims may come back to haunt them!
Am I looking for vengeance on behalf of THE TRUTH, the Constitution, and America??
YOU BET!

Trump’s ‘dictator’ remark jolts the 2024 campaign — and tests his GOP rivals on debate day
“Trump’s not even hiding the ball anymore,” an unguarded Biden said. “He’s telling us exactly what he wants to do. He’s making no bones about it.”
In a statement following Trump’s remarks, Biden’s campaign backed up that message. “Donald Trump has been telling us exactly what he will do if he’s reelected and tonight he said he will be a dictator on day one,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said. “Americans should believe him.”

Quote:Hoping to capitalize on the passions of their base, Texas Republicans introduced a bill in early 2023 that would require public school classrooms throughout the state to display the Ten Commandments “in a size and typeface that is legible to a person with average vision from anywhere in the classroom.” This was part of a coordinated legislative effort to Christianize civics in the state. Texas had already enacted a law requiring classrooms to display donated “In God We Trust” placards (one local district made headlines by banning Arabic versions while accepting those written in English). At the same time, Republicans were pushing to replace public school counselors with religious chaplains. When it came time to muscle the Ten Commandments bill through the Senate, the bill’s sponsor called on—who else?—the “esteemed” pseudo-historian David Barton to testify. Barton did his part: The bill cleared the Senate on a party-line vote. Its failure in the House coincided with an ironic twist of timing: Weeks before the bill died, Bryan Slaton, a Republican representative and former SBC youth pastor who branded himself a champion for family values—criminalizing abortion, warring with LGBTQ “groomers,” and, yes, promoting the Ten Commandments in public spaces—was expelled by the House after an investigation found that he’d cheated on his wife with a nineteen-year-old aide who “could not effectively consent to intercourse” after he’d plied her with copious amounts of liquor.

Champions of Christian nationalism would have you believe that these efforts to rule the country are inherently theological; that they are in service of a broader effort to reclaim America for God. This is a lie. Christian nationalism is a contradiction in terms: Paul told the Galatians, “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” This assurance—that anyone who accepts Christ becomes a part of the Abrahamic family, residents of the promised New Jerusalem—transcends all known racial, ethnic, and national identities. This is why Paul wrote so explicitly to the people in Philippi, a Roman colony full of soldiers and state officials, imploring the Christians there to pledge allegiance to Christ alone. “Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things,” Paul warned of those who would reject his plea. “But our citizenship is in heaven.”
There is nothing here to reclaim. This country—a drop in the bucket, like all the nations—was never God’s to begin with, because “God does not show favoritism,” as Peter said, “but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.” Attempts to devise some divine conception of the United States often end up demonstrating exactly the opposite. Take, for example, an Independence Day 2023 tweet from Josh Hawley, the disgraced Missouri senator whose lies and deceptive parliamentary maneuverings helped set in motion the violence of January 6. Celebrating the holiday with a “quote” from Patrick Henry, the senator tweeted: “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” It might have been humiliating enough for Hawley to learn that the founding father never spoke or wrote these words; what should have been downright mortifying was to realize, as the historian Seth Cotlar documented, that these words actually originated in a notoriously antisemitic and white-nationalist publication, the Virginian, 150 years after Henry’s death.
Hawley never bothered to apologize for the error. And why would he? The way many of his constituents see it, secular progressives, in their quest

I'm sorry, but WTF does Christian nationalism have to do with Washington DC??? I imagine very little!
People in Washington conspired to thwart a democratic election; use the DOJ, CIA, and FBI to spread malicious rumors and lies; use the media to spread fake news, censor real news; DOJ to whip up ridiculous charges against Trump and peaceful protesters, holding many in solitary under unconscionable conditions for months before trial; converting nonviolent behavior into "terrorism"; whitewash evidence of crimes committed by Hillary, Hunter, Joe, and others; impose policies of "the interagency" over those voted for by the American electorate...
I'm sure ALL of the people who did these things not only violated the terms of their employment, they failed to defend and protect the USA and made a mockery of the Constitution and the concept of justice. They DESERVE to be fired if not charged with crimes.
I'm sure truth, justice, and democracy mean NOTHING to you since you're an inveterate liar, a monumental hypocrite, and you despise everyone who isn't you.
But they still mean something to me, and they should mean something to everyone bc were supposed to be able to trust that the system works for everyone, not just a select few. That's the glue that's supposed to be holding us all together.
But I know why you have such a soft spot for Ukraine: you're as corrupt as they are.

Why Trump Refuses to Deny He Plans to Become a Dictator
By Jonathan Chait | Dec. 6, 2023
Donald Trump’s threats to use the presidency as a vindictive weapon to punish his enemies have grown so naked that his allies now find it inconvenient. They are irritated — not with Trump, but with the news media for reporting on his undisguised plans. They recognize “I am your retribution” is comic-book-villain dialogue, not an effective message for swing voters. Their goal is to give the party some plausible deniability that the man they are planning to install atop the executive branch will not attack the foundations of the republic.
Trump, however, is refusing to cooperate with the charade.
Trump’s allies insist that coverage of his plans is actually a scheme to seed violence against Trump. “All of these articles calling Trump a dictator are about one thing: legitimizing illegal and violent conduct as we get closer to the election,” proclaims Senator J.D. Vance. “This extreme and dangerous genre — of claiming Trump is Hitler (because, they say, he might do what Democrats are doing right now) — should probably be given the name ‘Assassination Prep,’” warns the Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway.
The whole pretense of these complaints is that Trump has done or said nothing dangerous or unusual, and that reporting on his plans and public statements is a form of dangerous incitement. They are all but begging Trump to give them a shred of deniability. He can simply say, even with a wink, that he doesn’t wish to become America’s Putin. He won’t give them even that — because, to Trump, being called “dictator” is a compliment his ego won’t permit him to deny.

How about describing for us, IN DETAIL, how it is NOT the same?
BTW, considering how you post I'm beginning to think SIX is right: I think you "borrowed" an identity and history from someone you know well- your dad?- and you sit in your mom's basement posting lies and hate speech all day long.
Either that or you're going senile or plain, nucking futs.
You don't post like anyone with a history of accomplishment of ANY sort, just a massive pile of insecurities.

People in Washington conspired to thwart a democratic election; use the DOJ, CIA, and FBI to spread malicious rumors and lies; use the media to spread fake news, censor real news; DOJ to whip up ridiculous charges against Trump and peaceful protesters, holding many in solitary under unconscionable conditions for months before trial; converting nonviolent behavior into "terrorism"; whitewash evidence of crimes committed by Hillary, Hunter, Joe, and others; impose policies of "the interagency" over those voted for by the American electorate...
I'm sure ALL of the people who did these things not only violated the terms of their employment, they failed to defend and protect the USA and made a mockery of the Constitution and the concept of justice. They DESERVE to be fired if not charged with crimes.
I'm sure truth, justice, and democracy mean NOTHING to you since you're an inveterate liar, a monumental hypocrite, and you despise everyone who isn't you.
But they still mean something to me, and they should mean something to everyone bc were supposed to be able to trust that the system works for everyone, not just a select few. That's the glue that's supposed to be holding us all together.
But I know why you have such a soft spot for Ukraine: you're as corrupt as they are.
Maybe you should move there!
DETAILS OF THE DEEP STATE'S CONSPIRACY TO SHRED AMERICA AND IMPOSE MORE TYRANNY ON AMERICANS. AND I HAVEN'T EVEN CONSIDERED DC"S COVID RESPONSE YET.

As I got older, and accumulated more experience of what eventually happens to crazy and stupid people like 6ix, Signym, (and Trump), I felt it was natural justice to watch them slowly suffer and die in their ignorance. In other words, stupid and crazy people end up in stupid and crazy situations. And then they die. It is natural. It is God's Way. It is not my place to interfere.
