Illegal Immigrant On Run After Murdering Leftwing Activist Girlfriend;
The DHS Had Released Him After a Kidnapping Charge in 2018
So it's too bad that this murder happened but -- who did you vote for? Did you vote for this?
Ah the "Dreamers," the beautiful Dreamers. Truly the best of us. Notice he was released in 2018. This was of course during the "strong" presidency of Trump, who is not "strong" enough to actually bend the federal bureaucracy to his will. And who was then, and is now, far more interested in surfing Twitter and watching his palz on Fox News than keeping updated on his priorities and riding herd on the bureaucracy. But he'll be better at it next time despite 1, not admitting any flaws that caused him to fail at this last time, and therefore not creating the possibility of actual improvement, and 2, despite not actually offering any plan to better tame the Swamp (I think we can write off the possibility of "draining" it) other than just announcing emptily that he will be "strong."
Illegal migrant on the run after allegedly murdering activist girlfriend following kidnapping The Homeland Security Department released him two years ago after he pleaded guilty to kidnapping a woman in 2018. Officials are searching for an illegal migrant suspected of murdering his social justice activist girlfriend in Illinois -- less than two years after immigration officials released him after he pleaded guilty to kidnapping an ex-girlfriend. Gabriel Calixto Pichardo, 25, is accused of fatally stabbing Emma Shafer, 24, in her Springfield home in July. He is wanted on three first-degree murder charges and one aggravated domestic battery charge. Federal agents are working alongside the Springfield, Ill., Police Department to track down Calixto Picardo. A spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals Service told Just the News on Monday that the agency does not have any confirmation as to whether Pichardo is or is not currently in the United States.
Shafer was the membership chair of the Sierra Club Sangamon Valley Group, an environmental group, and an incoming board member for the Springfield Immigrant Advocacy Network, which helps migrants in the area, according to her obituary. Shafer also was an organizer with Faith Coalition for the Common Good, which says on its website that it fights for racial and economic justice. The Marshals Service confirmed to Just the News that he had a previous kidnapping charge. Documents related to that 2018 incident show that Calixto Pichardo previously said his mother was fleeing abuse in Mexico when she brought him to the United States at the age of 5 and he was granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status a decade later. Kathryn O'Brien told local outlet WAND last week that she dated Calixto Pichardo in high school and he stalked her after she broke up with him. He eventually went to her grandmother's house and held a knife to her throat, and O'Brien filed a restraining order against him, as shown in court filings. Shortly thereafter, Calixto Picardo used a gun to force her into his car, she said. He brought her to a motel where he threatened to rape her, and police records show he also had rope and a knife.

Okay, I don't know how Trump is responsible for an illegal immigrant crossing into the country under George W Bush before being granted DACA status under Barack Obama, and released after negotiating a plea deal under Illinois law, but I'll bite. What exactly do you want? Have him ignore the courts and simply begin repatriating Americans without green cards or citizenship? Because that actually sounds pretty awesome, and I support it.
Ron DeSantis, of course, will promise to ban abortion, kill all the illegals, and start slitting throats in the federal bureaucracy. Why aren't we talking about his actual policy, like knuckling under to Joe Biden's election fraud? Because no one cares. RDS is over, and that became obvious even earlier than it did for Kamala Harris. It's breathtaking, when you think about it.

I'll never understand why the system does not deal with stalkers far more harshly. They almost always seem to escalate unless stopped. When a dude holds a knife to his ex's throat, how much harder could he signal he's likely to kill her unless he gets more than a time out?

Let's pretend like "bending the federal bureaucracy" to a president's will is a simple as just saying the word, giving the nod, and signing the order.
But let's pretend even further. Let's pretend like Ron DeSantis is not the obvious GOPe stooge he is. Let's pretend like Ron is really his own man. And whatever we do, let's pretend like his campaign hasn't completely imploded.
Yeah, yeah. That's the ticket.

He was not strong enough to bend the bureaucracy to his will. I don't think anyone is. Trump, DeSantis, Candidate X - Leviathan will *not* be tamed. Only Congress can maybe do it, through outright defunding and playing chicken with debt default and refusing to blink, come hell or high water. Even that might fail. I think one of the reasons that Congress does not ever do this is that they fear that bureaucracy will just ignore them, issue the bonds, and proceed along anyway.
Trump failed to tame the agencies, but I don't think his failure was unique. We don't know - there is only one data point - but I don't think anyone can do it. It will consume, loot and oppress until the wheels come off.

We need a path to citizenship for the Dreamers, and DACA is off the table. Any immigration reform MUST ensure the safety of the Dreamers. We can't turn our backs on these people caught in the middle after years of work. The Dreamers have put their trust in us, and we must not betray that trust. We need comprehensive immigration reform to be sure, but we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Why though? And why didn't you say why? This cult of personality shit around Trump is creepy. He's still shilling for the vaxx and criticizing Republican governors for locking down their states. The tone deafness compared to 2015 is shocking...but his cult members will defend him no matter what.

Okay I’m piling on but this brings up another thing Trump did during his administration that I totally disagreed with and further made it difficult for me to continue to defend him. He commuted the sentence of Shiloh Rubashkin , the owner of a Kosher meat packing plant that knowingly employed hundreds of illegal aliens. He was convicted of bank fraud and money laundering and sentenced to 27 years.
To be fair a lot of other Dems and some Republicans supported it. But they all ignored the employment of the illegal aliens of course.
Still a 1000x better than Hillary and I will always be grateful for that.

It's unique in the sense that he is the first one who even tried. You can hammer him all you want and some of us can roll our eyes at it for not monitoring every single outcome of every illegal in this country but it is just intellectually dishonest to pretend that prior to Trump anyone on our side even talked about the out of control bureaucracy let alone tried to fix it.

Except we know Trump. He'll hold a grudge against DeSantis forever, since Ron dared to not just get out of the way so Trump can get the nom, get jailed, and then leave the GoP with no alternative for president.
On the otherhand, as we've also seen with Trump, is he'll probably endorse Nancy Pelosi in 2028, because she once said he had nice handwriting, or something else that boosted his ego.

46 I'll never understand why the system does not deal with stalkers far more harshly. They almost always seem to escalate unless stopped. When a dude holds a knife to his ex's throat, how much harder could he signal he's likely to kill her unless he gets more than a time out?

Holding a knife to the throat is the easy case, and even then it's hard to get the victim to press charges and testify. But apart from these obvious cases, it's hard to weed out the actual stalker complaints from those which are designed to make an innocent guy's life miserable. There are so many fake or embellished claims that when a real one is made, it can get lost in the shuffle.

Will it become illegal to talk about the mail in ballots sent to addresses without any buildings on them in Nevada? Will it be just forgotten that Detroit says there are 1,000 ballots in a box with just ten? Will Kemp cover for Atlanta workers who pass the same ballot through hundreds of times?
All of these things will happen no matter who the Republican candidate is.

He pleaded guilty to kidnapping and was sentenced to six years behind bars. His DACA status expired in 2019 while he was in prison, and he was no longer eligible for the program because he had committed a felony.
When Calixto Picardo's kidnapping conviction was vacated in October 2020, he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and was released from prison.
He was arrested in May 2021 on a federal improper entry charge. He then applied for asylum, citing his mental illness.
Officials released him in August of that year. Court documents show U.S. attorneys declined to prosecute him for improper entry, according to documents reviewed by the local outlet.

Released no sooner than October 2020, rearrested and rereleased in 2021. At worst, the Trump-era DHS wasn't on the ball with detaining after his release. The exact timeline here is unclear.

Gotta live the idiots that think “first Trump—THEN DeSantis.”
This of course assumes that that court isn’t stacked, the electoral college isn’t obliterated, and DC hasn’t added two more dem senators.
Trump is a fucking GIFT to the Progressives. And then he goes to prison, I hope he takes a broomstick in the stern for handing the eternal fate of the country over to them because his ego must be stroked.

Dad is still in the ER and a doc came in and started asking all kinds of questions about his kidneys. Seems they're not doing so well and he's very dehydrated. Step-mom says he's been drinking cranberry juice, but it seems not all that much and NO water.
They're admitting him and we will see. They say they think the kidney issue is correctible, but need to find out why they're in the shape their in so rapidly.

If this is going to be another Trump v DeSantis thread let's not ignore that Trump had the ball in 2020 and fumbled it.
Yes, yes the bad guys were after him. And no they don't play fair. And Trump should have known all this in 2020. And he did nothing to prepare for the Steal, and after the Steal meekly handed power to Biden. If he is the nominee in '24 it will be far, far harder to deal with then the '20 election was.
Yes DeSantis or Indian Business Guy will get the same treatment but...they didn't fail on the big stage last time.

Third, should I denounce myself for not really feeling anything about the 'social justice activist' chick getting whacked?

You can’t make a blanket statement about state shutdowns. There is context and details that make each action different. Also South Dakota has the population of a Houston suburb.

Why though? And why didn't you say why? This cult of personality shit around Trump is creepy. He's still shilling for the vaxx and criticizing Republican governors for locking down their states. The tone deafness compared to 2015 is shocking...but his cult members will defend him no matter what.

I say that merely in the context of vote-getting prowess (with a nod to his not inconsiderable accomplishments in his first term… don’t forget those). No other GOP candidate comes close to having his broad vote-getting appeal. Now if zombie Ronald Reagan was available….
BTW… yes Trump has his share of failures. I’m no cult member; I simply compare him to reality, not a mythical possibility of perfection

As advisor to the winning Moron President, I would recommend that a card deck of Leftists is distributed where whoever brings in the severed head of one depicted on the playing card and adds it to the trophy mound on the South Lawn gets a full pardon and one year's federal income tax relief. The reward is transferrable.
Those who raise any complaint get added to the card deck.
I think the bounty hunter industry would flourish and bring unity as gangbangers and exotic game hunters come together will a single focus.

If Trump can’t win next year, then any republican who got pummeled by Trump in the primaries would have even a hint of a prayer. The first transitive law of politics…
Posted by: LinusVanPelt at August 08, 2023 02:30 PM (KxMNK)
Primaries don't necessarily choose the best candidate, they just choose who is favorite amongst the more hardcore in the party. The total primary vote is less than half of the usual party vote.
Trump will win in the primaries easily because he had the biggest fan base, and those 15 million voters couldn't win shit without the other 55+ million he'll need in ther election.
The only difference is people voting for DeSantis will probably be okay voting for Trump, or even hold their nose and do so for the good of the country. While it seems Trump's hardcore supporters will just take their ball and go home to cry, since they are only looking out for the good of their little delusional world.

>>At this point, if not Trump in 2024, I think Youngkin is the more likely as the Trump alternative than DeSantis.
DeSantis had an opportunity to be a team player but decided this was his moment.
He's done both as a Presidential candidate and as a political figure, he'll be at K-Street or a Defense Contractor within two months of leaving the Governors mansion.
That is unless he decides he should be a Senator and takes on Scott or Rubio.
Which would be telling.

I don't know about any other OnlyTrumpers, but for me, if Trump loses in '24, I know that it will be due to cheating and rigging by the Dems/MSM. My hope then will be that it reviles even the LIV Dems enough to want to reform the system, because then we'll officially be the world's laughingstock.
I don't want Trump to run after that, however. My hope would have been that DeSantis was smart enough to take up the election reform mantle and take the Trump voting bloc for his own, giving him momentum going into 2028 as the presumptive nominee. Unfortunately, his RiNO paymasters dictated that he not follow that obvious strategy.
So, after 2024, I've got nuthin'.

The idea that Noem didn't have pressure is silly. The NCAA got her to cave on trannies in sports, for pete's sake. She stood strong on covid. Good for her. I'd never vote for her, but she did the right thing.

it must be wonderful to have such a small mind and such an infintesmially small field of interest that literally the only thing that matters is But Muh Trump.
every issue with some of you guys is just "Does he support Trump STRONGLY enough or not?" Well, obviously, the narcissist idiot trump supports trump more than DeSantis does, so I guess you found your man.
Well-done! By simply reducing all considerations to "Is this Trump or Not Trump?," you've really saved yourself some mental exertion, which I'm sure is a particularly important thing for you.

Pretty much never did--Ace was a Cruz supporter in 2016 until Trump became inevitable and that party split cost Ace a lot of friends.
Strong personalities evoke strong sentiments among elites--either love or hate. A weak personality generates derision and disrespect but no deep passions one way or another.
Read contemporaneous views of people surrounding other leaders like Lincoln, Coolidge, FDR, even Washington or Jefferson. You will find mixed opinions of them even by supporters.

Primaries don't necessarily choose the best candidate, they just choose who is favorite amongst the more hardcore in the party. The total primary vote is less than half of the usual party vote.
Trump will win in the primaries easily because he had the biggest fan base, and those 15 million voters couldn't win shit without the other 55+ million he'll need in ther election.
The only difference is people voting for DeSantis will probably be okay voting for Trump, or even hold their nose and do so for the good of the country. While it seems Trump's hardcore supporters will just take their ball and go home to cry, since they are only looking out for the good of their little delusional world.

In the 2016 presidential election in WI 2.8M votes were cast.
In the 2020 presidential election in WI 3.2M votes were cast.
The FNM says this is because mail in voting made things easier to vote.
In the 2016 WI Senate election 2.9M votes were cast
In the 2022 WI Senate election 2.7M votes were cast.
I guess mail in voting is actually harder if you are voting for Senator? Note both those Senate elections were close so it isn't as if they were a runaway one way or the other.

I am a community organizer in my hometown of Springfield, Illinois; my interests include compassionate urban planning, food sovereignty, pleasure activism, and bringing folks together rooted in love and power for the betterment our communities."

She picked up phone in house and called 911.
Turns out the girl was the local prison warden's daughter. Oopsie

Outside of political junkies like us, and Virginia, and DC, no one in the country even knows who Youngkin is. If you're in the beltway, that might be hard to see. DeSantis is still regional too, but his publicized fight with Disney has started to give him a little bit of national attention. Of course no one has name recognition like Trump. People like Ramswami, Haley, and Burgum are running for cabinet posts, if they could be honest about it. The rest of the field are bad jokes who are just grifting while they can.

85 seriously, let me know if this is the plan: When Trump loses in 2024, are the trump supporters going to claim it was rigged and insist he be the candidate for 2028?
Are we just marching on with Trump for one drubbing after another until he dies or what?
Posted by: ace at August 08, 2023 02:30 PM (KRtlO)
To be fair.. if it is rigged would it make anyone feel better that someone else lost a rigged election?
2020 was fixed.
It needs to be proven otherwise to me, because the actions of those who benefitted since tell me they are guilty.

Meatball just did his 4th campaign reboot and fired another campaign manager. And he's only been running for a couple months.
I guess we can stop hearing the whines from DeSantis supporters about picking good staff any day now, right?
DeSantis seems to have the media's number, but he still doesn't understand the GOP's consultant class are the enemy.

>>>Ace prefers the "strong" candidacy of Ron DeSantis, the guy who avoided questions about the Trump indictment by claiming he hadn't read it yet.
And if the roles were reversed Trump would say DeSantis was a loser for being indicted and shouldn't be running.
Trump fans want every candidate to become a human shield for Trump, despite Trump never taking a hit for anyone. They want every candidate to live by the "no shooting in the tent" rule while they set off explosives in the tent.
I wouldn't say you reap what you sow, because i do think Trump is being unfairly treated and what they're doing to him is the biggest crime against our democracy, but Trump had no problem basically tossing every Jan 6 defendant under the bus, now he cries that people are defending him.

Considering the Steal, I'm not sure if any GOP candidate will be allowed to win ever again. And if a GOPe candidate is allowed, it'll just be theater.
I'm on record with this. I prefer DeSantis to Trump at this point though I'll vote for either in a general election...but I don't think the candidate matters in terms of getting more votes.
The R candidate has to have a plan to stop the Steal '24. It can be done but it would involve tactics no R candidate has used to this point. Do either D or Trump have a plan? Well OpSec would say don't go into details...but at least so far neither has talked in general terms either.

Best strategy is to say "2020 was stolen. 2024 will be stolen again unless you nominate someone who can beat the cheat"
But he is being run by neverTrump, so here we are.
Shame, he had a future.

Outside of political junkies like us, and Virginia, and DC, no one in the country even knows who Youngkin is. If you're in the beltway, that might be hard to see. DeSantis is still regional too, but his publicized fight with Disney has started to give him a little bit of national attention. Of course no one has name recognition like Trump. People like Ramswami, Haley, and Burgum are running for cabinet posts, if they could be honest about it. The rest of the field are bad jokes who are just grifting while they can.
Posted by: Tom Servo
----------
People on the right are desperate and I dunno if Trump will survive the legal process as a candidate or fade due to one blowup too many etc. Even his staunch supporters have to agree he is volatile. Youngkin is a plausible alternative and he has more or less kept his mouth shut about two big issues-fraud in elections and Ukraine. I always watch the money men and they are giving Youngkin a looksee with meetings and as a former hedge fund manager, he probably has the wherewithal to get campaign funds.
Nikki, Scott, whathis name are running for VP, Christie and Pence are running as spoilers. DeSantis has to make a change.

I honestly respect your opinion. But do you read this blog and some of the articles written about DeSantis? A lot of his troubles are from concerted attacks on him, many false or misrepresented. Or just from people who don't think he kisses Trump's ass enough. There has been manipulated videos, parsed statements and flat out lies. Now, I'm not fully convinced about DeSantis, but it sure seems like someone doesn't want people to know the truth or at least give him a shot. But hey, let's kill the parties future by destroying anyone Trump doesn't bless. Makes sense.

But Trump winning will be a victory over the powers that robbed him and raped the Republic to death. So that will be nice.

So the FBI and CIA miss the plot of 9/11 because of bureaucratic stupidity, so Bush goes and creates another bureaucracy adding to the stupidity and leading to crap like this . Trump didn't do much about the DC shitshow because he had no clue how deep the shit went. He should have started by firing every Democratic appointee but his ego made him think he could change the bureaucracy by executive actions

Spoiler Alert: Trump won't deliver blood, he will deliver epic meltdowns of the Left.
Nancy Pelosi has stated that if Trump is elected America will end.
I'm guessing that is because the Left will go kinetic and make the St George Floyd Memorial Riots look like a J6 "Insurrection" in comparison.

I must admit to a certain amount of grudging admiration that they have the ability to fuck over people’s minds to the extent some stupid bint could simultaneously hold a position in the Sierra club
And
An illegal alien migration “advocacy group”.
That takes work. Sierra Club was famously anti-illegal migration in the 1960s. And for good reason. Till their big donors extorted their way into the organization.
Sierra Club doesn’t talk about such things now. Not a fucking peep.

Some Indian*feather* in my town got 12 years for kidnapping a 15yo. She just happened to be in the idling car he wanted to steal. Took her to his home, his parents weren't home and told her to stay there while he used the car for a while.
She picked up phone in house and called 911.
Turns out the girl was the local prison warden's daughter. Oopsie
A lot of people don't know that car theft has been so de-criminalized in many places, it's basically become ghetto Uber. Before Covid and BLM and decriminalize everything got on our radar, it was common practice in Seattle to not charge car thieves with ANYTHING until the seventh offense. It's even worse now.

241 Ah I see it is a Trump/DeSantis war, alrighty then.
DeSantis is really stepping on his dick right now. The 2020 election is THE issue. Pretending that it was legit and Trump is a sore loser will guarantee you head into a Jeb! level performance.
Best strategy is to say "2020 was stolen. 2024 will be stolen again unless you nominate someone who can beat the cheat"
But he is being run by neverTrump, so here we are.
Shame, he had a future.

if their not strong enough to blow through Trump in direct dead-to-head competition, then I have no interest in them,
and Trump, by winning the nomination, proves he is the best candidate.
I don't see this issue as any more complicated than this.
If you want Other Than Trump to win, then support your guy with money and time and see if you can help him push through.

I don't mean that anyone here supporting him is dumb -- you can support a dumb candidate for smart reasons -- but obviously his appeal is targeted to a lower lowest-common-denominator than we usually have, and a lot of people are just not going to "lower" themselves -- as they see it -- to vote for him.
The results are in, the election data has been collected 3x. He repels more people than he attracts. It's not going to change this time; why would it? No one expects Trump to change, and the populace isn't changing either.

Primaries don't necessarily choose the best candidate, they just choose who is favorite amongst the more hardcore in the party. The total primary vote is less than half of the usual party vote.

McCain and Romney were hardly known as favorites. The name of the game is name recognition, even most primary voters aren't nearly invested enough to take the time to learn about each candidate.

DeSantis is also a reformer. Ramaswamy is more of an unknown, but he seems to be big on reform, too.
I also think reform is impossible at this point, so it's all basically noise. Trump, DeSantis, Candidate X, whoever. If he wins, he will be unable to break Leviathan to his will. I am very interested in state races next year and perhaps some of the congressional races, but I doubt it. As far as president goes, I don't really care. It's a false prize. A non-accelerationist might buy a couple of more years, but there will be no meaningful change.

As I said, if the GoP put up a potato in 2020 it would have recieved 60 million votes, because those 14 million Trump voters would have sat home and cried, instead of doing what's right for the country.
Candidate A losing to Candidate B in the primaries doesn't mean Candidate A can't win in the general, because the primaries is just a battle of who can get the most votes from the hardcore fringes.

As I said, if the GoP put up a potato in 2020 it would have recieved 60 million votes, because those 14 million Trump voters would have sat home and cried, instead of doing what's right for the country.
Candidate A losing to Candidate B in the primaries doesn't mean Candidate A can't win in the general, because the primaries is just a battle of who can get the most votes from the hardcore fringes.

McCain and Romney were hardly known as favorites. The name of the game is name recognition, even most primary voters aren't nearly invested enough to take the time to learn about each candidate.
There was plenty of election fraud in the (R) primaries.

"Nancy Pelosi has stated that if Trump is elected America will end."
Running that through my "they always accuse others of what they are doing" decipher machine yields -- "If Biden is (s)elected again, it will be the end of America".
We are discovering that America has been corrupted for decades, BUT they are now fearless and in the open, "Banana Republic" title is fine with them, "Make the people Fear us".

If you think Trump will do anything other than throw the match to permanent leftist control, then enjoy your wry observation.

I fully expect Trump to be in DC jail cell soon, and everyone will wring their hands, and wonder how could this happen in the USA. Shortly thereafter he will stumble in the shower and break his neck, or hyoid bone, or whatever, and, gosh darn it, all the guards were absent and cameras were shut off.

He's the only one improving his support among the younger gens.

I rarely give credit or fault for a Republican President's SC picks. The candidates are recommended to them and their prior rulings rarely indicate the potential to go lefty rogue.
Last President that I give credit to is GHW Bush. He stuck with Thomas when most were advising him to dump him . It would have been the easy thing to do.

It's worse than that. Any potential candidate who doesn't kiss Trump's ring will be scandalously and unfairly subjected to personal attacks and be secretly labeled the "deep state", GOPe, candidate. Without any material proof and a lot of supposition. So you'll get the Trump approved candidate or nothing, Oliver.

The GOP are in on this mess. They've done precious little to dissuade me of that thinking. So as far as I'm concerned it's their job to go out of their way to show they actually like GOP voters. Until they do... I'm assuming they are in fact in on it.

So a possibility of 500,000 fake votes.
Going by an assumption there wasn't a significant increase in votes cast in 2020 over 2016 I find about a quarter of Biden's votes were fraudulent.
So national wide about 20M fake votes. Or more accurately, 20M more then the normal fake vote baseline.

It will be 2016-2020 but without the anonymous editorials and whistleblowers. The government will declare war on its president. That will finally open up the deluge that crushes the dam.
They may be hostile to another rep like DeSantis or Vivek, but they'll be first-term-Trump subtle about it.

Here's how it's going to be in 2024. Trump will secure the R nomination. The Biden junta will have him taken out. Second American civil war results, with Mexico making a land grab in the southwest being the only thing that calms us down. Meanwhile, China sees their chance and grabs Taiwan. North Korea sees their chance and nukes Seoul. Iran sees their chance and tries to nuke Tel Aviv, but gets the coordinates wrong and hits Madagascar. As a result, Iran is overrun by gigantic mutated Lemurs.

Reagan talked about it, and even had some specific departments he wanted to close. But the Federal bureaucracy wasn't anywhere near as out of control then, and the population at large was opposed to the idea of doing things like shutting down the Department of Education.

It's in the RNC's best interest to do this - not Trump. Besides, they have the infrastructure in all 50 states to work to get this done. As far as I can tell, they haven't done so. This is very telling.
As Dave in Fla originally said, there is currently no GOP path to 270. Nothing that has taken place in the recent past has changed that. Because of this, Trump should run anyway. Even if I wasn't an OnlyTrumper, I'd say that because any other viable candidate should save their powder until '28, in this environment. Unfortunately, they're deciding to take their chances in '24. Not smart.

Speaking of something really potentially interesting:
Henry Kissinger, who is 100 years old(!) and still swinging, baby,
went to China and met with several Chinese gov't officials and business guys, including Xi.
Every single time that Kissinger has gone to China, through the decades, there has been a major US policy shift or announcement regarding China.
I don't think that Kissinger is necessarily pro-American as much as he loves being a bismarckian diplomatic power player, so he could be representing Biden&Co in some awful fufuraw.

206 Can we all agree that a), DeSantis has enough money to stay in the race until at least the Iowa caucuses, if he wants to, and b), it's therefore useless to declare either him or Trump done before that point?
Posted by: Dr. T at August 08, 2023 02:43 PM (bhRsz)
Just the idea of having anyone drop out now, or be declared done, considering the current circumstances, is dumb.
The view of Trump and his supporters seems to be effective needs to clear the way and anoint Trump. Then if Trump is jailed or deemed unable to run, the party is just screwed and Biden walks to victory without an opponent.

Well, it's more expensive to print customized ballots.

okay let's pretend he didn't show classified papers to those who cannot legally see them, we'll just pretend that like we pretended Trump's phone call to Ukraine, threatening to cut them off unless they delivered political favors for Trump (which is exactly what BIDEN IS ACCUSED OF!) was perfect.
this guy, he's so perfect. Just like he promised me in 2016-- If I get elected, I'll be totally presidential, that's easy, I'll be so presidential you won't believe it.

The results are in, the election data has been collected 3x. He repels more people than he attracts. It's not going to change this time; why would it? No one expects Trump to change, and the populace isn't changing either.

Really? So DJT got +74mil votes and Biden got +81mil. Ok. Ok.
So of those 81mil Biden votes, how many were anti-DJT?
Has there ever been a candidate who has mobilized that many votes against him while also mobilizing a record number himself?
Because this argument seems facially preposterous to me.
Remember Biden didn't even campaign so he got fewer pro-Biden votes than he would have normally.
Did DJT mobilize +35mil anti-DJT voters?

Ok, outline a reasonable path for electoral victory for DeSantis? We already know the knock on Trump, he will lose the swing states of MI, WI, PA, AZ, NV, and GA and perhaps VA. How will DeSantis improve on Trump's voting performance t in those states or mention where any other blue state that DeSantis will move to the GOP column.
Unless you take immediate action to purge voting lists like OH or FL, not sure you can get there.

Another gem from the way back machine:
THE SPY WHO SNOGGED ME
Joe Wilson, the guy who drank "sweet mint tea" for eight days when he was supposed to be conducting a probe into Niger's uranium trade, further bolsters his credibility by detailing "heavy make-out sessions" with his wife.
Don't worry-- he absolutely protects the sanctity and privacy of their marriage. As far as I can tell, there is no detailed description of actually porking Valerie Plame, Super-Spy.
God. A fifty year old man still telling hero stories, and about his fucking wife to boot. Gee, Joe, did you go under the shirt, over the bra? I feel like I'm in the The Breakfast Club, but starring fat, old people.

I'd prefer another candidate, but I'll vote for Trump, assuming, as he probably will be, that he's the nominee. I don't think he can repeat the numbers he got last time. The indictments, criminal proceedings, and other trials will take a toll. They shouldn't because it's all transparent bullshit. But I don't really have a lot of faith in the American public's bullshit detection abilities any longer. Lots of middlebrow know-nothings simply are not going to vote for someone who's likely to end up in a cell. (I on the other hand relish the idea. Having our gangster government run from prison like MS-13 or the mafia makes perfect sense to me.) Probably no GOPer has even the slightest hope of winning the White House unless the economy absolutely implodes between now and then.

Those two things allow Trump to be competitive in PA, AZ, and WI. But he only needs PA.

I've wondered about the scenario of Trump picking RFK Jr. to be his running mate. It's the kind of unpredictable thing he could do.

I think anyone works better than what seems like the inevitable pick of Trump extralight Kari Lake.
Trump's going to 100% pick an ass kisser, instead of someone who will tell him he's f'ing up.
Id hope whoever gets the nom picks Vivek as VP.

Honestly--and I hate to say this--I'm tired of talking about voter fraud and the margin of cheat.
Was 2020 stolen? Yes. Will the Democrats try to do it again? Yes.
The only question that really matters is, have they got it locked in enough that they can win the election regardless of any other circumstances?
If the answer to that is yes, support whoever you want, because it doesn't matter. If the answer is no, then look for the candidate you think will be most able to overcome the cheating. I think that's DeSantis, so that's who I'm going with, but to each his own.

People think they owe trump. They don't. Trump has always been a completely transactional guy. He doen't feel he owes us or any of his supporters that he discards and leaves to rot in prison; oh wait, when you embarass him about J6, he'll fork over... $10,000. TOTAL. FOR EVERY PRISONER.
We don't owe him a thing. And we already gave him quite a lot.

How many votes do you expect DeSantis to pull in the general? +74mil?
He will lose almost all DJT voters.

I don’t agree that Trump appeals to dumb people. Having watched a lot of his stemwinders it’s becomes clear that he’s very clever… smart even and he’s often making “inside joke” references to his audience…. And they “get” the references. We’re back to Selena Zito (sp?)… we take him seriously but not literally (something like that)…

if you mean he appeals to the great middle, no, he doesn't. He appeals to the lower-than-the-great middle. Midwits despise him because they can see his appeal is for the dumb.
I think it is important to understand what winning the Presidential Sweepstakes really is - it is controlling a multi-trillion dollar international slush fund.
I want to see the damned Rolodex of who is going to get the hard work delegated to them. Trump is going to be harassed every day of the term in impeachment and other Leviathan bullshit.
What we do know is that to be on Team Trump you need to have a black flag attitude or will be creamed instantly by the Left and Deep State that delights in destroying people.
Who is going to deliver that army of junk yard dogs we need at this time? Probably be the guy who is best at trash talking and attracting that element.

The Oval office occupant is secondary to who sits in the Attorney General position. Because, by holding the DOJ (and by extension...the FBI) as a political tool, nothing can get cleaned up sufficiently.
To further complicate matters is that you could have the single most conservative, moral and honest president. But, the Senate will NOT approve any nomination for the Attorney General position that does not benefit them personally. A demolition ball AG would never get past the senate.
This is doubly so if Trump is the one serving up the potential candidate.

Trump supporters always claim that everyone is as repelled by DeSantis, and therefore the election would be no different than DeSantis. They are ALWAYS minimizing/denying Trump's OBVIOUS problems.
No, no one hates DeSantis that much. Except Trump himself, and his more febrile supporters, who cannot stand the idea that a better, smarter, more talented executive would DARE to challenge Captain Fuck-Up.
So we have to pretend that everyone has all of the same liabilities of trump, being hated by a majority of the country, being on the hook for several real crimes (and many more imagined ones)... everyone's got all of Trump's flaws, and everyone else would fail just as hard as he would.
Would DeSantis blow off keeping an eye on the bureaucracy, allowing his employees to subvert him, allowing democrats to rig an election over the course of a year? Trump had a YEAR to stop this.
Of course Trump's supporters will claim "yes, DeSantis is just as flawed as trump in all of these ways, so why not go with Trump?"
No. No he's not. Trump is singularly flawed in many ways.

I *think* DeSantis can pick up more moderates: especially suburban moms who are repulsed by the transing of kids but are also repulsed by Trump.
And frankly, if Trump-only Republicans desert DeSantis in such numbers as to wipe out those possible gains, then everything that follows is on them. This movement has become its own worst enemy, in every way imaginable.

And frankly, if Trump-only Republicans desert DeSantis in such numbers as to wipe out those possible gains, then everything that follows is on them. This movement has become its own worst enemy, in every way imaginable.

Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are sayin' (what did they say?)
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand
It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leavin' me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer

Trump was cheated in 2020.
There has been nothing done in the past 3 years to combat this cheat.
There are no plans to do anything about it in the next year.
But somehow miraculously Trump will
Overcome the cheat next year and win.

He's raised a lot of money too, but doesn't seem to want to spend any of it to try and fix elections.
There's a guy out there, forget his name he's got long brown hair, might have run for office (kind of resembles Robby Starbuck) who is trying to build an apparatus to mimic Dem's ballot harvesting. He had some success last election, but now needs to grow it for a general.
He said both Trump's org and McDaniel at the RNC seem to not care one bit about trying to actually fight election fraud or build a way to combat it with legal ballot harvesting, they just want the same old same old, probably because it's easier to fund raise off of claiming you were robbed.

The whole thing is a damning indictment of "American Justice." These guys should have been arrested and criminally prosecuted. It was a layup. They are obviously guilty. It would have been the easiest case the DA ever had to prosecute.
But, of course, that didn't happen. Antifa terrorism is legal in many places, including of course its capital city of Portland. So now Ngo is suing them for damages in civil court and is very likely to lose.

You can say this about any part of the coalition that abandons the Republican nominee at this point. Those suburban women who hate what's happening to their children in their schools? Do they get blame for voting for Biden because Trump said pussy?
I also think that the idea that suburban women are natural Republican voters at this point is off base. They're cultural Democrats first and foremost. They may make noises about voting for a good Republican, but their cultural markers will all tell them that the good, moderate Republican from Massachusetts wants to put women in binders and strap your dog to the top of his car.

Naturalized citizens achieve citizenship at some point after their birth, natural born citizens receive citizenship at the moment of their birth. THERE IS NO THIRD TYPE OF CITIZENSHIP.

12 points would be landslide-solid thrashing at the national level.

Honestly, DeSantis best move would've been, even now, to become Trump's greatest legal supporter,
while demonstrating with his position a Guv why he would govern better as Prez. And criticizing Trump where he feels he failed as Prez.
This isn't difficult stuff and that needle could be threaded. He really hasn't handled this situation well.
And again, if he can't work his way past Trump, he'd make an awful candidate.

The time to look for these people is not the lame duck period between Election Day and Inauguration Day - it's now.

Kari Lake may be the closest to proving "turns away more than he attracts." But then, there are a huge number of fraudulent activities in that races that you can't just hand-wave away with "better but non-trumpy candidate."

Trump stuck with Swamp Creatures Birx and Fauci even as they lied and insulted him on CNN. If ever there was a time to "drain the swamp", it was then. He could have replaced them with The Great Barrington Declaration and won the day (and save a half million lives, saved the economy, etc.)
idk if it was Ivanka that pushed Birx (the rumor) ... but Trump failed, perhaps thinking he was playing it just right for the 2020 election, idk. I'll still vote for Trump in 2024, or DeSantis ... but things don't look great.

Okay, say for arguments sake it is not Trump (which I rate at 50/50 due to legal issues anyway) how does DeSantis wins the swing states or adds a blue state. Is it simply that he is not Trump? I can see that helping the GOP in the college graduate or higher education but hurting among working class whites or minorities. Being against perverts or Devil Mouse is not enough--simply put--what is in it for the working classes via jobs, not getting sent to foreign lands to be killed, and so on. Romney failed this test and for DeSantis to win in Nov. he has to stiff the donor class and GOPe types that will become in turn Never DeSantis.

Being against perverts or Devil Mouse is not enough--simply put--what is in it for the working classes via jobs, not getting sent to foreign lands to be killed, and so on. Romney failed this test and for DeSantis to win in Nov. he has to stiff the donor class and GOPe types that will become in turn Never DeSantis.

Your article is from 2020 when nobody was even running. He stated in the months before the election he was staying neutral.
🙄
This is the dishonesty that drives me wild. It's his words exactly. It reads;
"I am pleased to announce that I have given my full support and endorsement to Ronna McDaniel to continue heading the Republican National Committee (RNC). With 72 MILLION votes, we received more votes than any sitting President in U.S. history - and we will win!” Trump said in a tweet.
Biden won the race with more than 77 million votes."

being on the hook for several real crimes
As I've said, I prefer not-Trump to Trump. But I can't take this "real crimes" talk seriously. Trump is not guilty of anything that his opponents aren't. In fact, his opponents' recent crimes outstrip anything that can be laid at Trump's feet. There's a preposterous double-stadard at work here, so I'm not going to play along with the notion that Trump is the problem here. And though I think Trump makes some of his own troubles, he has not really done so here in any unique way. The Dems have been floating the idea of prosecuting Abbott and Desantis for transporting illegals to other states. You really think they won't try? The point is this: the Dems are very much in "show me the man and I'll show you the crime" mode. And this is nothing new. In Texas we saw this same shit with Kay Bailey-Hutchison, Tom Delay, Rick Perry, and Ken Paxton. They will criminally charge any GOPer on any pretext, and never do likewise with Dems. It's unreasonable to pretend that Trump is some sort of criminal deserving of prosecution, or that other GOPers will not receive the same treatment.

Posted by: Dr. T at August 08, 2023 03:02 PM (bhRsz)
Yeah ther current responses to everything seems to be:
We were cheated in 2020, and we'd couldn't fight it because the DoJ is corrupt, and we can't investigate it because the media is corrupt, and we can't get thr evidence because the local voting commission's are corrupt.
And yeah that's true, but seeing nothing had changed, what have you (the candidate) done to combat it this time.
And the answer seems to be absolutely nothing.
They know how everything is corrupt, know nothing is change, but are content with trying again, which doesn't sound like someone who really expects to win.

>>Would DeSantis blow off keeping an eye on the bureaucracy, allowing his employees to subvert him, allowing democrats to rig an election over the course of a year? Trump had a YEAR to stop this.
You're as guilty of blind DeSantis support as you accuse Trump supporters of being toward Trump. DC is not friendly Florida and they would fight Ron ever bit as hard as they fought Trump assuming Ron actually fought them. And we have no way of knowing if he would be more or less successful than Trump.
You clearly believe he would be but that doesn't make you right and Trump supporters wrong. We can still be on the same side and disagree about who we think would be the best advocate for our side.

Well here's the thing. Unless Ron Desantis has a very very big list of hatchet men to man the DOJ, State Dept, Treasury, etc, etc, etc, he's going to find himself in the same predicament as Trump. The Swamp found out during the Trump presidency that they will have cover to work against the executive. How many approving articles did we get about some flunky in agency ABC basically telling the political appointees, "up yours?"
And then we even get his political appointees trying to undermine him (and yes he was effing bad at personnel.) Remember the Sec of the Navy resignation due to the Eddie Gallagher crap?
Yes indeed Trump was bad at personnel, but it seems to me that nobody is going to drain that swamp. I'd give Ron a shot, but his campaign isn't looking very healthy at the moment. Not looking good for anyone who is concerned about the direction of this country.

To further complicate matters is that you could have the single most conservative, moral and honest president. But, the Senate will NOT approve any nomination for the Attorney General position that does not benefit them personally. A demolition ball AG would never get past the senate.
Especially with a (D) Senate. RDS had the privilege of having a (R) legislature that is very friendly to conservative issues. This will not be case for anyone sentenced to four years of Babylon DC.
I'm hoping that sclerosis wins in the federal elections and the individual states self-sort into regional socioeconomic hegemonies.
There is no way to turn Babylon DC without nukes or the Wrath of a Holy God.

The results are in, the election data has been collected 3x. He repels more people than he attracts. It's not going to change this time; why would it? No one expects Trump to change, and the populace isn't changing either.

Ballots =/= voters
Statistically proven at least 6M of Biden's votes were fraudulent.
If Trump repels more than he attracts, how does that square with that Trump rally in rural PA with over 50,000 in attendance?
Where are those 150,000 Trump haters? Biden was holding rallies with less than 50 people there.
Trump is polling better than he did in 2020, which means the fraud will be larger in 2024 as they again tell us that Biden really did get 95 million votes this time.
It's all theater.

Don't be so opaque. Trump has the name recognition and so as leading candidates often do in the primary (before they've commenced) polls reflect that. Ergo You can't really get an accurate picture of how DeSantis would do electorally because the process only just got started. It's why Trump and his liege are out there planting stories and trying to define him. But what you do have is a pretty good idea how Trump will turnout, because there is lots of data. Data that doesn't work in his favor. This really isn't that hard.

The Call with Ukraine and Trump.
Prior to that there was exactly ZERO talk of Biden running for president. He was not in fact a candidate.
He only ran after, likely to slow any investigation.
Trump was not soliciting favors.. he was tracking corruption.
Which is illegal in ace's interpretation?

He said both Trump's org and McDaniel at the RNC seem to not care one bit about trying to actually fight election fraud or build a way to combat it with legal ballot harvesting, they just want the same old same old, probably because it's easier to fund raise off of claiming you were robbed.

You're right, it's not. For all intents Trump is an incumbent and he isn't just leading by a little he's lapping the field. And the field isn't all that great.
Trump's support is pretty solid right now and he's over 50% in virtually ever national poll, winning in the early primary states and winning in states like MI and AZ.
For him to lose now would be a pretty earth shattering event given his lead and more than just name recognition while his leading opponent is losing ground. What is going to change Trump supporter's minds short of imprisonment?

Perhaps this has been mentioned, but if you read the article, I don't think you can pin this guy on Trump. His kidnaping charge was vacated in Oct 2020 and he was therefore released. He was arrested again in May 2021 for improper entry into the US and was released in August 2021 because US attorneys declined to prosecute him. He's Biden's guy.
I don't know who vacated the kidnaping charge (no idea how that works) but I don't think it was due to Trump.

I'm sincerely hoping he will get over the rude awakening that his preferred candidate simply sucks (DeSantis has repeatedly demonstrated that he cannot connect with voters on the national level and has proven to be a GOPe stooge) and thereby regain his senses.
Ace of Spades is too good a site to be _permanently_ infected with with TDS!

Did I get that right? Seems crazy, but there it is.
I don't know what his current thought is, but I clearly recall how in November 2020 he was posting articles demonstrating how the elections was being stolen i n real time.
for instance, in one of them, ballot dumps were showing up in the 6 states that had stopped counting, all within the same hour. of early morning.

Kallisto, I have the same recollection.
Ace is openly contradicting his earlier position.

Anyway, I don't know why the hell Trump is running for President, he wasn't interested in the job last time around, and I have paid too much for that.

Trump had all of 2020 to sue and stop this crap before the vote but decided to fuck around on Twitter. And then, after he loses, he's like the kid who didn't bother turning in his term paper, flooding the campus with excuses and please (and threats) to professors to please let him submit the paper late.

Are you retarded ? Seriously. Lawsuits WERE Tried both before AND after. The courts denied them before because "no harm" had yet been endured, and then denied them after because "oh, woops, woopsie, too late".
You fucking KNOW this. Why are you bullshitting people ?

513 If I understand this correctly, Ace now believes that the 2020 election was completely legit and that Trump is guilty of everything he's been charged with.

And by all means, if this is the retarded shit you believe
Ace now believes that the 2020 election was completely legit and that Trump is guilty of everything he's been charged with
Then get it out there on the FRONT FUCKING PAGE and be done with it. It's complete and utter bullshit, but you ought to get out their and OWN that retarded bullshit.

Been a lurker here since the first Flaming Skull, and up till now have always agreed with Ace.
That said the weighty arguments of the Trumpets have convinced me.

Trump and Megan Rapinoe would normally get along:
1) they both have fucked-up hair
2) they have an unquenchable sense of self-importance
3) they spend all their time on useless, masturbatory fights.
4) they both choke when it really counts.

Hey, MarleysRottingCorpse, weren't you the one earlier in this thread who fantasized about sticking something up the former president's butt?
Wasn't that you?
I don't think it's wise for you to then start pontificating about masturbation. People might get the right idea that you have a depraved and demented mind.
You might want to at least _try_ to hide that shit, man.
Just sayin'.

Yeah, "Marley", that was you back at comment # 122.
You said you enjoy fantasizing about violating men in the rectum. Oopsie!
I guess you didn't realize you were outing yourself as sadistic weirdo with sexual malice in his heart.
What the hell is wrong with you, anyway?

83 seriously, let me know if this is the plan: When Trump loses in 2024, are the trump supporters going to claim it was rigged and insist he be the candidate for 2028?
Are we just marching on with Trump for one drubbing after another until he dies or what?
Posted by: ace at August 08, 2023 02:30 PM (KRtlO)
What difference does it make? In case you haven't figured it out, our republic is DEAD and no matter who you "vote" for, you will not change the outcome.
Better plan and prepare accordingly.
