The Morning Report — 3/21/23

Good morning kids. Well, the day that knuckle-dragging thug-pig Alvin Bragg will supposedly arrest former President Donald Trump for a non-crime has arrived. I have no more tears left because I am absolutely incandescent with rage against the tyrannical Marxist scum who hijacked my country and perhaps even more at those allegedly on our side who allowed it to happen to make a buck off of it.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but it is painfully evident to all but the most clueless that this country, as it was, as it was supposed to be and how we perhaps pretended that it was until 2020 is gone. Yet, here we are with this banana republic goon show upon us going on as if the 2024 election is going to make difference. And this is assuming that whoever the nominee is actually beats the margin of fraud. But when the fraud doesn't merely affect the system but is now the system itself . . .

At the risk of pissing off folks like Ace, CBD, Michael Walsh and others who were rightly peeved at Trump for his "Meatball Ron" and "Ron DeSanctimonious" attacks, as well as other legitimate reasons not to support him as the standard-bearer in '24 – including myself – Trump's all-cap rant against the corrupt system that hijacked the country and is driving it into the ground is dead on. Meanwhile, while the unprecedented and brazen act of political terrorism by arresting a former president was met with radio silence by DeSantis. Until yesterday:

Two days after Trump announced his impending arrest, and two days after hordes of Republicans – even his rivals, even “Never-Trumpers” – condemned the partisan overreach of a radical Soros-funded district attorney, DeSantis finally spoke up – and it was to take a cheap shot at Trump.
“I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair,” Mr. DeSanctimonious, er, DeSantis said.
“I have no interest in getting involved in some manufactured circus by some Soros-DA,” he continued. “He’s trying to do a political spectacle. He’s trying to virtue signal for his base. I’ve got real issues I got to deal with here in the state of Florida.”
If the weaponization of the criminal justice system isn’t a “real issue,” then DeSantis isn’t ready for the White House.

It pains me to have to say this but I happen to agree with that assessment, especially in light of the situation the nation finds itself in. And it goes double for Trump. I'll get to that in a second.

My colleagues and friends have taken the position that Trump had it coming given his puerile attacks on DeSantis. I would agree with that were it not for the fact that we're a red pubic hair's breadth away from full transformation into a Marxist dictatorship or worse, a puppet regime with the Davos-Brussels-Beijing Axis pulling the strings. I'm equally if not more pissed at the two people who should be seeing this and acting accordingly: Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. I'm usually kind of "meh" on Wayne Allyn Root, but he seems to get it, albeit unwittingly:

With the GOP divided and Democrats in control of government, the very existence of America is threatened. Look around. We are on the verge of World War III. The U.S. economy is in decline. Banks are failing. Our border is wide open. Crime is exploding. And inflation is wiping out the great American middle class. America is hanging by a thread.
Our only hope is the reelection of Trump as president. But even that is not enough. For any chance at all, America needs DeSantis to carry on after Trump. America and the world are simply in too precarious a state to fix in four years. But a lot can be done in 12 years. To that end, let me first offer Trump and DeSantis my advice on how they can work together to save America.
First, put your egos aside.
This isn’t about either of you. It’s about saving the United States of America from a communist takeover, combined with a foreign invasion at our border. Time is running out. . .
. . . With Trump and DeSantis in partnership, this strategy makes sense. But with a bitter primary fight, Trump must aim his campaign only at Republican voters. . .
. . . So, saving the greatest country in world history all comes down to putting ego aside and uniting Trump and DeSantis for the good of America.

Root is a completely clueless idiot, insofar as he is still under the delusion that campaigning is going to make a difference where elections are concerned. But he is dead on about the two of them putting their egos aside for the betterment of the nation.

If history teaches us anything, everything that we have witnessed since Election SEASON 2020 to the January 6th Reichstag Weenie Roast and beyond indicates that the Democrats along with Mitch McChicom and his ilk are going to do everything they can to steal 2024. And at this point, there is nothing to indicate that they won't succeed.

Yet so many people are Wayne Allyn Rooting themselves into the delusion that that won't happen, regardless of which of the two frontrunners they support. This has now gone beyond elections and beyond American politics as usual. When ordinary citizens are persecuted, blackballed, censored and now arrested and held as political prisoners in what was the United States of America – with an alarmingly large percentage of the population cheering it on – it's time to wake the fuck up and smell the covfefe.

That goes particularly for Trump and DeSantis. The fact that we are now at a point where we are encouraged not to hold rallies or even protest for fear that they will be infiltrated by DOJ glowies and saboteurs is abhorrent since mass rallies, protests and even a national strike are absolutely justified. Not just for what they are about to do to Trump but for what they are doing to our freedom, our economy, our security and our way of life. And let's say by some fluke they actually do beat the system and win. Is that really going to make a difference given the entire federal bureaucracy will sabotage their agenda at every turn? That is unless the military declares martial law after arresting the new president and summarily executing him and his staff in the Rose Garden, live on CNN of course.

Are we going to have to devolve all the way down to what is going on in South Africa before we do something?

This is no longer about just an election. This is about a movement for national survival. God-willing national revival. But if we're going to go down anyway, why not go down swinging rhetorically speaking?

22 Ok this nonsense has gone on far too long. trump is not going to be arrested by the NYPD. He is in Florida they are not going to come to Florida cuff trump and perp walk him for the benefit of cnn and msnbc TV cameras no matter how much some people, including trump want that to happen.

No matter what people think the secret service will not allow trump to be taken to Rykers Island to be processed even if by some magical powers he was arrested in New York.

If NY issues an indictment for trump he will be *processed* in Florida at a place selected by the secret service and it will most definitely not be a place that they can't control access to 100%.

He can review the extradition and refuse it though Trump already said he will surrender.

But if the extradition is denied that will make it near impossible for Trump to leave Florida.

The Dems have woven a sticky trap and they have lots and lots of big guns on their side.

Words 2-5 can be excised from this statement and it doesn't change the assessment. The conclusion also remains wrong, but that is somewhat beside the point.

GOP divided, GOP unified, GOP in charge of the elected government, no GOP seats at all. Any of those things don't change the reality: that the Democrats (well, the Omniparty) is in control of government, of industry, of medicine, of academia. No one outside the Party has any influence over American government, and the American republic is already finished. It has been for a while now. Is that the fault of the GOP? It may be. The GOP certainly at least shares the blame for that.

My take once again, is that Trump won in 2020 and should be considered the incumbent and not have to worry about a primary. The fact that so many people are dipping their toes in to run has pissed Trump off, and in Trump like fashion he lashes out. I like DeSantis, but the fact that he's considering to run tells me he either doesn't care that our election was stolen, or doesn't think it was actually stolen. There is no reason if he is truly a Maga like conservative, that he shouldn't have gotten behind trump right off the bat. I don't care if they all think they would make better presidents than Trump. The issue is bigger, it's acknowledging that Trump won, that the election was stolen, that our voices and votes were silenced. It was a cheap shot by DeSantis and he made a mockery of the seriousness of what our country is facing.

The credit card companies still know. They know what card numbers were run for those transactions and could trace it to an account holder or to no account holder (e.g., a prepaid card - which would probably be an FTC violation). The payment front-end on the website will have the origin IP address of the online transaction.

There is room for fraud there, of course, but not as much as you'd think. A few subpoenas and some log analysis would have painted a fairly complete picture that was at least reality-adjacent. All the FEC would have had to do is demand the data for an investigation.

They didn't. They didn't want to.

I don't care about the cheap shot at Trump. He probably doesn't care. But stopping the weaponized DOJ and state prosecutors is absolutely necessary for the country.

And this is why I think RDS would be wasted in 2024. Do the 1968-76 Reagan. Fight, then join. Only Trump has ever beaten any margin of fraud. RDS won't have Trump's millions of supporters because they are DONE with voting for "someone not a democrat." They want Trump, and RDS won't be enough for them.

Well, that woman *is* a security threat in a very real sense. We have a government that engages in despicable behavior and lies about it at all times. Anyone that points out that the government is lying and is in fact just a shambling tyrant wearing a republican skin suit - that is, that the emperor has no clothes - is, by definition, a "security threat" that same government.

You must either believe everything the government tells you *or* be willing to pretend that you believe everything the government tells you. If you don't, you're a threat.

Right, but the point I'm trying to make is that this is easily - very easily - proven. With the transaction and server logs, I could probably do it in a couple of days. It isn't that difficult. a handful of subpoenas and a few days' worth of data analysis would have found the answer.

The fact that so many people are dipping their toes in to run has pissed Trump off, and in Trump like fashion he lashes out. I like DeSantis, but the fact that he's considering to run tells me he either doesn't care that our election was stolen, or doesn't think it was actually stolen. There is no reason if he is truly a Maga like conservative, that he shouldn't have gotten behind trump right off the bat. I don't care if they all think they would make better presidents than Trump. The issue is bigger, it's acknowledging that Trump won, that the election was stolen, that our voices and votes were silenced. It was a cheap shot by DeSantis and he made a mockery of the seriousness of what our country is facing.

126 The credit card companies still know. They know what card numbers were run for those transactions and could trace it to an account holder or to no account holder .... The payment front-end on the website will have the origin IP address of the online transaction.

VPN defeats IP address tracing unless you get the NSA involved.

"Credit Cards" are different from "Debit Cards" and "Gift Cards" but can operate the same way through MC/Visa. The primary card holder can have a number of cards distributed anyway the primary card holder wishes. Companies often have "Company Cards" that they issue to their employees. There are a number of filters that primary card holders can place on the use of the card (limits, geo-fence, merchant-code, etc) so it is not inconceivable that school district cards have been used for campaign contributions. Dittos with corporations, trusts, foundations, government agencies, stolen, etc. can all be financially backstopping these on-line contributions.

Warnock, the top fundraising federal candidate of the 2022 election cycle by a long-shot, spent $39.2 million over the same period, which almost doubled Walker’s spend too. The incumbent closed the period with $29.7 million banked away.

It turns out that millions in donations were sent to candidates like Raphael Warnock from “donation mules” around the country. Warnock was the top beneficiary of all 2022 Democrat candidates of this money distribution scheme.

I don't care what Trump has said about Ron, even if he called his mother a whore-- there is no position on this but that it was and is unequivocally wrong.

I am with those who say this statement--planned, practiced and premeditated--by DeSantis permanently disqualifies him as President.

South Africa's power grid very well might collapse this year, which will do the trick. Their water infrastructure is also in bad shape, in large part because of the power problems. Many highways are in poor shape and their rail system is in shambles. Most of the problems are due to crime, both within the state-owned enterprises and at the street level.

But the EFF failed. The hardcore racial communist foil to the ANC's softcore pseudo-racial pseudo-communism failed yesterday. They will keep trying and next time it may be more successful. They're practicing tactics and do so a lot.

All of this is true. It is important to remember, however, that this was a long time ago and VPNs were much less common. The use of corporate or government credit cards would be very easy to spot. These aren't *necessarily* fraudulent, but likely are (especially government cards). I suspect what such an analysis would reveal is massive numbers of unauthenticated single-use prepaid cards were used, mostly from within the US. The purchase history of those prepaid cards will probably reveal bulk purchases either at retail or direct purchases by fake retailers, and lots of duplicate transactions (likely series of transactions) per IP address.

If that's what happened, it would be obvious money laundering. But the main point remains that nobody wanted to look.

That's the fruit of South African crime, not of Nordstream. They'll export surplus, but not to the detriment of domestic power generation.

The coal trucks carrying high-grade thermal coal for power stations are diverted by the mafia. The coal is dumped for later illegal export. The high-grade coal is replaced with low-grade coal (or worse, coal/rock mixture) and sent to Eskom, which then discovers the problem when they burn it. It has massive negative consequences on their power stations because they're not designed for the lower-grade coal.

Where the stolen high-grade coal goes at that point is sort of beside the point. The root problem is that it's stolen in transit by organized crime syndicates operating at large scale, and the authorities are on the take. And the collapse of a lot of the railroad network has forced more material to travel by truck and it's easier to steal that way.

180 South Africa's power grid very well might collapse this year, which will do the trick. Their water infrastructure is also in bad shape, in large part because of the power problems. Many highways are in poor shape and their rail system is in shambles. Most of the problems are due to crime, both within the state-owned enterprises and at the street level.

ZA also has a problem, at the government level, to borrow because of the institutionalized corruption and garbage reputation for ability to pay it back. It wasn't all that long ago when Cape Town was so desperate for water that they started building a desalination plant. It wasn't completed because they ran out of money - or so they say.

ZA's problems are similar to having SBF running their treasury. A Billion dollar project might double due to the usual government pathologies, but due to ZA's penchant for fraud and embezzlement at every level, money dries up as it is syphoned off at each step.

203 My take once again, is that Trump won in 2020 and should be considered the incumbent and not have to worry about a primary. The fact that so many people are dipping their toes in to run has pissed Trump off, and in Trump like fashion he lashes out. I like DeSantis, but the fact that he's considering to run tells me he either doesn't care that our election was stolen, or doesn't think it was actually stolen. There is no reason if he is truly a Maga like conservative, that he shouldn't have gotten behind trump right off the bat. I don't care if they all think they would make better presidents than Trump. The issue is bigger, it's acknowledging that Trump won, that the election was stolen, that our voices and votes were silenced. It was a cheap shot by DeSantis and he made a mockery of the seriousness of what our country is facing. spypeach

221 More on the White Rose:

Others were rounded up in the ensuing days and weeks, more than 7,000 in all. Not all were involved in the assassination attempt; many merely suspected of opposing the regime were among the 4,980 known to be executed. A number of resistance leaders were tried before the infamous Volksgerichtshof, or People’s Court, and hung with piano wire. The proceedings were presided over by Roland Friesler — a fanatical Nazi killed, appropriately enough, during a trial the following February by an American air raid. That ended the show trials, but executions continue until the war’s end.

The list of those killed for their apparent involvement in the July 1944 operation was topped by three field marshals, 19 generals, a government minister, three secretaries of states, the Berlin police chief, and two ambassadors. Among the most famous was theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, executed just a month before Germany surrendered.

2) Also lay off DeSantis unless he does something particularly stupid. Instead, focus your fire on all the stupid and damaging thing Punchy&Company are doing to the nation on a daily basis.

You are right. The government, aka "authorities" are too lazy and incompetent to profitably run a theft ring so they outsource it to professionals in the private sector to work out the logistics and supply chain.

I guess that the buyer of the re-routed supply is one of those Don't Ask Don't Tell class of customers. Its just amazing that coal isn't as easy to redistribute as fentanyl. Moving ship loads of coal out of one of a handful of deep water ports would seem to draw the interest of someone who is still interested in keeping the lights on in ZA and not letting the entire country descend into chaos.

Yes, yes. I know not the same as saying you don't know about hiring hookers. But, it's throwing in with the Democrat/MSM's Monkey Show. Congrats, you just became the Piano Playing Chicken!

Lay off Trump. It's a loser's game. Criticize harshly the politicization of the legal system.

Stay with where you're strong and advertising how it's different than what PedoJoe&The Creepy Crew are up to on a daily basis.

Get your legislation through/passed and point out that you're not just talking about getting things done. You're getting things done. Cuz you're in office. Judge me exactly by what I do for the People of Florida, I'll do the same and more for America once I'm President.

325 Here's a AoS favorite blast from the past!

Kasich, from Ohio, is now an msnbc commentator! Dissing the gqp! Talking central governance across the aisle. Like the gop used to be.

Yeah, that's when I turned off Ari's show. Policy-wise, Kasich is no better than Trump. He just likes to pretend he's reasonable. He's really fucking loathsome and despicable.

MSNBC must have lots of time, money and credibility to blow if they hired this hack.

He sold Ohio 390 million dollars of bad paper from Lehman Brothers and made out like a bandit. He is not to be trusted. Koch whore.

he is one of the reasons I quit watching CNN, if he is going to be on MSNBC too, then I am done. He is the king of both siderisms.

Dissing the GQP...wow, I remember when he had a show on Fox, and Mike Malloy was a guest. He made Kasich look like the fool he was (and is). Fox gave the show a totally corny name just like you would expect. I think it was called something like From the Heartland. 🙄

I remembered that I have the internet and can answer this one myself.
Dylan Mulvaney (born December 29, 1996) is an American actress and transgender rights activist known for detailing her gender transition in daily videos on the social media platform TikTok. As of March 2023, she has over 10 million followers on TikTok, while her video series, Days of Girlhood, has received over one billion views.

339 Wayne Allyn Root: "Because if we lose in 2024 . . ."

Uniting Trump and DeSantis is Our Only Chance to Save America

Agreed. And many of us have been saying this for months. In my opinion, the only chance a Republican Presidential ticket has a chance to win in 2024 is if that ticket is Trump-DeSantis.

It unites the entire Republican electorate and sets up DeSantis for 2028. Yes, the fraud operation still exists. But if Georgia (16) and Virginia (13) flip, that puts the electoral vote (EV) count at 261-277. Arizona (11) is probably gone with the fraud there. So the only shot, I think, is to flip both Nevada (6) and New Mexico (5). That would put the EV count at 272-266.

Nevada has a Republican Governor (Joe Lombardo as of January 2023), but New Mexico has a Democrat Governor (Michelle Lujan Grisham, re-elected in 2022). So without New Mexico, EV count remains 267-271.

If the Deep State fraud operation remains in full effect for 2024 as it was in 2020, no path to 270 yet...

355 I don’t mind a good fight between potential candidates but I’d prefer an intelligent fight. I’ve said it before that I’d rather see a Trump/DeSantis ticket that way when it is stolen from what should be a no lose ticket then maybe everyone will wake the F up and we’ll all be on the same page and realize the reality of the situation this country is in. If Trump gets arrested maybe it’ll be better to have DeSantis go ahead get the nom and lose 24 all on his own and again hopefully wake everyone up.
Here at AoS don’t think it’s gonna happen though. Came here because AoS seemed to be the most sane place. Not anymore. Like Trump, too much ego and emotional investment between the likes of people like ace and CBD. People would much rather win an argument. At this point that’s all the Trump vs DeSantis shit is.

RDS could absolutely have let rip into Trump for any number of personal failings before saying "but none of that is illegal, so Alvin Bragg has some mild concerns to address with me before I approve extradition." He took the opposite approach because his consultants told him he was being a Clever Boy.

I'm absolutely pleased at a level I didn't think was possible. DeeSantis' New York donors jerked his leash, much as they did to shut down Tucker Carlson's January 6tb investigation, and in so doing made him radioactive to a definitive plurality of GOP primary voters. JJ Noticed the weasel words used on the most polarizing issue of the year. RDS is finished.

Trump's trying to knock down literally the only potential and serious challenger to him in the GOP primary before he even enters the race. I'm guessing Trump continues his name-calling game to try and define DeSantis because he keeps hearing rumors that DeSantis is still planning on entering the race.

It makes sense from his point of view.

I think DeSantis is between his own judgment and the judgment of his advisors who are all telling him that if he doesn't run for president RIGHT NOW, he'll NEVER GET A CHANCE EVER AGAIN, and he's dithering.

Being a Floridian, I can tell you that DeSantis is often in his best form when not practiced. Saying that one statement disqualifies him is ridiculous. If he gets the nomination, what are you going to do? Vote for Biden because you're mad about this statement?

Trump should have won in 2020, and left DeSantis with a clear field for the populist/nationalist candidate in 2024.
But now Trump lost, and now he wants to run in *DeSantis'* year.
It's Trump who's acting out of order running in DeSantis' year to run, not the other way around.

Walker's the big one, and he's similar to Chris Christie. They both went hard after local unions and won, and the second they entered the national stage, big dollar donors told them, "You will be a squish on these national issues, or you will get no money."

And they folded like cheap suits.

You want real change at the national level? You need a completely alternative funding mechanism for GOP candidates that can fully fund races as expensive as NY senate races and above.

402 339 Wayne Allyn Root: "Because if we lose in 2024 . . ."

Uniting Trump and DeSantis is Our Only Chance to Save America

Agreed. And many of us have been saying this for months. In my opinion, the only chance a Republican Presidential ticket has a chance to win in 2024 is if that ticket is Trump-DeSantis.

It unites the entire Republican electorate and sets up DeSantis for 2028. Yes, the fraud operation still exists. But if Georgia (16) and Virginia (13) flip, that puts the electoral vote (EV) count at 261-277. Arizona (11) is probably gone with the fraud there. So the only shot, I think, is to flip both Nevada (6) and New Mexico (5). That would put the EV count at 272-266.

Nevada has a Republican Governor (Joe Lombardo as of January 2023), but New Mexico has a Democrat Governor (Michelle Lujan Grisham, re-elected in 2022). So without New Mexico, EV count remains 267-271.

If the Deep State fraud operation remains in full effect for 2024 as it was in 2020, no path to 270 yet...

405 Craig of craigslsit funded much of this:

Newmark’s largest individual donation to any of the NGOs in the Censorship-Industrial Complex went to the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO). He donated $5 million dollars to fund the department in 2019. Newmark put his money behind one of the most controversial figures in online disinformation studies — Renée DiResta.

DiResta is the co-director of the center, but her involvement in the 2018 New Knowledge scandal should preclude her from ever again being taken seriously in the field. New Knowledge was a Trump-era media darling and a politically motivated attempt to link the 2016 election to Russian disinformation influence.

Pass is the wrong word. I said he had to keep the investigation going, or at least leak his film archive to the Mike Lindell types, to maintain any credibility. But he doesn't own the network, and may not actually have control over the film. He is very much an employee of Paul Ryan, not the other way around, and while I understand keeping his job it also marks Fox News out as the enemy.

455 Israel Could Strike Iran in Three Months, Retired Israeli General Says

I can see Iran beefing up security at its key locations, just to have that beefed up security light up the stuff that needs to be destroyed by the Israelis...

457 Even if we pull out the win, the actual insurrection and rioting the Dems will do will make the summer of 2020 look like nothing.

True. But nothing worth fighting for was ever easy. We either work to take back our country now or we may never get another chance to do so in our lifetimes. I do not think any of we boomers and gen-X-ers (of which I am one) have any faith in millennials or gen-Z-ers to get the country back on track. Especially considering the majority of those generations are a big part of the reason the country is how it is. So it's up to us to work to fix things now and set the country back on the right track for our children, grandchildren and beyond.

The Left's long march through the institutions took about 100 years, depending on what one thinks they started it. Journey of 100 years begins with the first step...

458 Why isn't everybody asking Trump when he will disavow his baby, the killer Covid Vax? Why don't people ask Trump why he let Fauci & Birx steamroll him? Or why he didn't declassify the RussiaGate documents? Or why he didn't declassify Hunter's laptop the day after the NY Post published the story? Why doesn't Trump get held to the same standard as his competitors? Yes, the Deep State screwed Trump over. Yes, the Democrats stole the election. So why doesn't anybody ask him what he was doing on the legal front about unconstitutional state election law changes the year before the election (other than effing tweeting, that is)?

The Dems are full-on lawless, fascist tyrants and our team is MIA at both the state and Congress levels. So, is Covid over do you think? People are still dying every week from the Clot Shots and the GOP has done NOTHING. They are still trying to jab our kids with it and the GOP has done NOTHING. J6? Silence until recently. Ukraine? GOP is all for that $100B. Trump to his credit has hit this issue, but the GOP is still on the warmongering side.

What a time to be alive.

Holy Moses. We Boomers are the generation that 1) destroyed social mores and welcomed communism 2) filled K-12 and academia with our leftwing nutjobs and sexual freaks that have been pushing the crap that our children and grandchildren have been taught for 60 years. And you're blaming our kids for what we did to them? Look in the mirror.

460 People People neither trump or DeSantis are the enemy

Keep your eye on the ball

I re-watched "Hunger Games: Catching Fire" recently and your statement reminds me of the reminders that Haymitch Abernathy and Finnick Odair gave to Katniss Everdeen during the 75th Hunger Games: "Remember who the real enemy is." (i.e. President Snow and the Capitol).

In our case, the real enemy is the Deep State in the USA and WEF globally.

461 I DO have issue with Darth saying he's got no interest in getting involved in the manufactured circus. the issue is two-fold imo, 1. it's a direct attack on all of us and our country. and b. the circus WILL come for him next if it's successful against PDJT.

Posted by: SturmToddler at March 21, 2023 07:55 AM

Absolutely. As President Trump has stated many times, they (Deep State) are not after him, they are after you (us... We, the People). He is just in their way.

If Ron DeSantis is part of the MAGA movement, then the Deep State will come after him next to get to We, the People. So this will affect him eventually as well, not just President Trump.

However, if Ron DeSantis does not consider himself part of the MAGA movement and is fine with the Deep State, then I guess he feels he does not have to worry about the tyrannical actions of the Deep State.

The Deep State is so far allowing him to do what he wants in Florida. But they will not continue to allow that if he runs for President. He must know this.

463 I'm going to state it because it's true.

Good job, JJ. I don't always agree with your synopsis - as you well know - but I'm going to give accolades on your post.

The sad truth is, the great USA as we knew it IS gone. The two major parties work in tandem through all the federal and state government agencies, the media and courts to keep their power intact and tax dollars flowing to the donor masters pulling their strings.
As for the Republicans, they are NOT the vehicle to bring about change. My eyes were open to who they really are in 2014, when they coordinated with Democrats in Mississippi to "expand the electorate" in a Senate primary race they knew they would lose to Chris McDaniel. What they did was criminal but they got their good-ole-boy judges and compliant local media to go along with that election steal. That's why I KNEW in November 2020 that they did it again through guys like Doug Ducey and Brian Kemp and many other players at both the federal and state level, in total alliance with Democrats, Soros groups, big tech and the compromised law enforcement/judicial system.
Even IF President Trump and Governor Desantis agreed to work together it would not matter.

464 My take once again, is that Trump won in 2020 and should be considered the incumbent and not have to worry about a primary. The fact that so many people are dipping their toes in to run has pissed Trump off, and in Trump like fashion he lashes out. I like DeSantis, but the fact that he's considering to run tells me he either doesn't care that our election was stolen, or doesn't think it was actually stolen. There is no reason if he is truly a Maga like conservative, that he shouldn't have gotten behind trump right off the bat. I don't care if they all think they would make better presidents than Trump. The issue is bigger, it's acknowledging that Trump won, that the election was stolen, that our voices and votes were silenced. It was a cheap shot by DeSantis and he made a mockery of the seriousness of what our country is facing.

465 I've been saying Trump/DeSantis would be the best ticket for months now. Four more years of DJT and then eight for Ron. Get it together guys.

466 It has been leaked that Ron DeSantis’ 2024 campaign slogan is “Save the Titties”

And in less than a year Ronny D and his buddy Deuce will be eating Shit Sandwiches and eating bags of dicks.
