The Morning Report — 5/16/24

Good morning, kids. Somewhere out there, Ronna Romney McDaniel is saying, and rightly so in this instance, "Don't look at me!" I'm not going to dwell on this because what's the point really? Why would Donald Trump, who literally invented the term "fake news" ever agree to going into a XiNN studio, without an audience (though to be sure, like the juries and judges in his kangaroo court show trials, those would be populated by shills and confederates) to "debate" Jake Tapper and Dana Bash? Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants merely playing the role of potted plant.

Michael Whatley and Lara Trump now run the RNC, but ultimately, Donald Trump himself could have easily demanded the debate take place at Sooner Stadium with Tucker Carlson and Mark Levin as moderators. Better yet, Lincoln-Douglass style with no moderators. And yet, this unforced error. I'd like to hear from the full-throated Trump defenders how this is brilliant 11-dimensional chess on his part, but I'm not seeing it. And I support him to the hilt. I'm just not going to pretend that when he shoots himself in the foot, like this, it's brilliance that I just don't see.

In any case, moving on from that distraction, did anyone notice this incident over in Europe?

In Europe's first major assault on a state leader since the assassination of Olaf Palme in Sweden in the 1980s, a socialist opened fire and injured Slovakia's conservative prime minister, Robert Fico Wednesday.
He held a lot of controversial views and stances on causes dear to the globalist crowd, but there is no clear motive thus far. Still, there has been interesting speculation as to what it might mean. . .
. . . Could it have been someone opposed to his Ukraine stance? The Czech Republic is said to be thinking about following its neighbor, which could lead to a chain reaction, even as U.S. credibility comes under duress . . .
. . . The attempt to take out Fico by either pro-Ukraine or pro-globalist forces, then, could be a scenario worth watching, given that so much is at stake and they've all played dirty in the past. This one may well be something that goes beyond local politics and could be well worth watching.

Whatever one thinks about Vladimir Putin, the rush by Junta-Controlled America and much of Europe to escalate what is a local/regional conflict between two unsavory states that has zero impact on our own national security is insanity. First and foremost, Ukraine and Russia have had a troubled relationship going back centuries. Second, with the fall of the Soviet Union, Foggy Bottom's influence over the Bush and Clinton administrations insofar as guaranteeing Ukrainian security in exchange for handing over Soviet nukes back to Gorbachev and Yeltsin, and assurances to them that NATO would not expand eastward towards its border – assurances that were worthless as we now can see, just like Putin – is what lit the fuse on this crisis.

Obviously, for whatever reasons, the globalist cabal wants Putin and Russia neutralized. The military industrial complex plus the Biden crime family grift involving Ukraine (which includes many other crooked American pols beside Biden and his bastard-breeding bastard) must be preserved. In this Venn Diagram of madness, Trump intersects insofar as he exposed Burisma and the Bidens. Hence the Russia Collusion hoax and everything that came after it.

UPDATE: Per commenter"Biden's Dog sniffs a whole lotta malarkey" someone just tried to take out Irish Republican European MEP candidate Malachy Steenson. He happens to be vocally against the mass immigration that globalists are foisting on everyone.

And speaking of attempted assassination, should Trump somehow survive the bevy of Stalinist show trials, as well as overcome the cheat machine that is still in place from 2020, there is no way in hell the powers that be will allow him to take office. Not after years of declaring him and all of us as "literally Hitler." Given all we have witnessed these last hellacious years, every option to take him out has got to be considered on the table. After all, these are individuals who are so warped and twisted as to believe their own propaganda about preserving "our precious democracy." Despite not believing in His existence, God is after all on there side!

And then there's Gaza. And beyond, as Daniel Greenfield yet again squares the circle:

Rafah isn’t just the last stand for Hamas, but for an entire foreign policy establishment.
The desperate effort to keep Israeli soldiers from going into the last Gaza stronghold of the Islamic terrorist organization is about more than the sum of the geopolitical parts.
After nation building failed in Afghanistan and Iraq, and everywhere else it’s been tried, the radioactive ‘Palestinian’ nation building experiment from over 30 years ago is its last hope. . .
. . . When Iraq and Afghanistan went bad, America could just leave, Israelis did not have that luxury. Sharon forcibly expelled the Jews living in Gaza to the other side of a border wall, but despite all the sob stories that the terrorists were living in an “open air concentration camp” with five-star hotels and mansions, walls weren’t that hard to get through even before Oct 7.
Israel has been stuck living next door to a failed 30-year nation-building experiment gone bad. And everyone in the international community is worried that the Oct 7 war will see it taken apart.
Lately the nation building experts have taken to warning that Israel is doing it the wrong way. Former CIA Director David Petraeus who also oversaw American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, has been arguing that Israel needs to pivot to a “counterinsurgency” model. And then we’re back to “winning hearts and minds” instead of actually trying to win a war.
The Biden [junta] has never stopped insisting that Israel needs a “day after” plan for rebuilding Gaza under a PLO government and some “moderate” terrorists from Hamas. Three generations after it became the norm, fighting a war without nation building as an endgame is so impossible that warfare experts can’t even understand what they’re seeing in Israel. . .
. . . American foreign policy believes that no people or group are good or bad, they just lack sufficient representation or the ability to participate in democratic elections. And that any governments that suppress any group, no matter how evil, are inherently illegitimate.

Comedy gold! And it rings a bell right here at home! Back to the action:

That’s why Truman insisted on ending Chiang Kai-Shek’s repression of Communists in China, why Carter bailed out the Islamists in Iran, and why, based on this stunning track record, we decided that the only way to stop terrorism in Israel was to give the terrorists their own state. . .
. . . “Truly winning this war would require creating some sort of government in Gaza that could gain the support of the people and prevent Hamas from returning after Israeli soldiers pull out,” ex-neo con Max Boot argues in his Washington Post column.
But what if killing Jews is what the ‘people’ in Gaza really want? Just as what the Shiites in Iraq really wanted was to step on the Sunnis and the Kurds, what the Sunnis in Iraq really wanted was to kill the Shiites and rape the Yazidis, and what the Kurds wanted was their own country. And just as a whole lot of Afghans really wanted to lock up women and mandate beards again.
Nation building’s faulty premise is that people everywhere want what Americans want. . . The Israelis have grown tired of trying to win the hearts and minds of rapists, kidnappers and killers. They’ve grown tired of giving them what we think they want and are giving them what they deserve. Maybe we could learn something from their experiment in ‘un-nation building’.

My day after plan for Gaza? Martial law and absolute surrender. And deprogram the children; the adults are a hopeless cause, like trying to defuse a ticking nuke with a hammer and chisel. Muslims understand one thing only; violence. The problem is there are 1.5 billion of them still living in the 12th century while the rest of the world is living in denial.

Can't wait for Jake Tapper and Dana Bash to handle this topic.

The problem is that in many states proof of citizenship is not required, apart from the registrant attesting on paper that he or she is a U.S. citizen. The new bill would require proof be shown at the time of registration. An additional problem is that state registrars do not even have access to a national database that would confirm citizenship and current registration status of those registering to vote, and the voter registration drives that are done by advocacy groups do not require them to prove it either.

Costello, who advised Cohen when he became the subject of investigation by federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, told the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that Cohen is now on a “revenge tour” against Trump and lacks credibility. His testimony challenges claims Cohen made on the witness stand during Trump’s Manhattan trial.

“What you need to understand is that Mr. Goldman, the novice representative from New York, actually does have a personal stake in this case,” Hageman said. “He has stated that he has been involved with the Bragg case, helping to prepare Mr. Cohen for his testimony. So he is firstly aligned with an admitted and convicted liar and perjurer. He’s also paid the judge, Merchan’s daughter’s firm over a hundred and fifty thousand dollars for her services. So, I think we’ve got quite a conflict of interest from Mr. Dan Goldman, the novice representative from New York.”

Cohen’s former criminal defense attorney said the disgraced lawyer was predominantly concerned with avoiding prison time. “Cohen kept on saying: ‘Guys I want you to remember, I will do whatever the F… I have to do, I will never spend one day in jail,'” Costello alleges his client to have told him. The statements by Cohen’s former defense counsel suggest that Cohen was and continues to be motivated out of fear of the consequences of his crimes and has been willing to lie to avoid punishment.

24 Regarding Trump and debates, obviously it would be wonderful to have a debate moderated with at least one person willing to be fair with questions. I don't think Biden would ever have agreed to that and I also don't think the voters that Trump is trying to persuade would tune in to a debate on Fox or with Tucker, etc., so although we know they are going to sabotage him. Maybe he is thinking that he may reach voters that otherwise would not hear him. at this point, I don't think Trump cares or is afraid of being sabotaged, lied about or made to look bad. I think we are well passed that at this point .

However, i think PDJT had to accept or else the media and the dems BIRM would have run the commercial that are probably already cut about how trump is scared to debate the greatest orator since cicero or some such clap trap.

I don't know anything about the Irish thing yet. But the with the Slovakian thing, the would-be assassin was a 71 year old "poet" who was a member of some group called "Movement Against Violence," of all things.

Septuagenarian hippie activists aren't really prime material for Ukraine or DC to cultivate as hitmen.

Slovakia is an EU member, so I assume their media is uniformly globalist agitprop, like most member states. My gut-check says this was a left-leaning kook in some stage of senescence, and he was spending his golden years reading daily hate screeds about the anti-Ukraine, COVID skeptic PM. Finally, some logic circuit in his NPC sorta-brain just popped, and he decided to save Sacred Democracy from the dire threat of Slovakian fascism.

The beauty of the NPC in the digital age is that his Apple or Samsung mind control device primes him toward political terrorism, with no involvement from state actors or shadowy conspiracies.

Posted by: Halfhand at May 16, 2024 08:02 AM (Q5Ulg)

98 Why would Donald Trump, who literally invented the term "fake news" ever agree to going into a XiNN studio, without an audience (though to be sure, like the juries and judges in his kangaroo court show trials, those would be populated by shills and confederates) to "debate" Jake Tapper and Dana Bash? Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants merely playing the role of potted plant.

This is just a thought. Pretty much everyone except those who would die before they voted for Trump has come to the conclusion that everything is fake and gay. The persecutions are fake and gay, the news is fake and gay, the non-stop lies are...

Maybe, Trump is thinking that some people might be able to see through the bullshit. Maybe, Trump is thinking that dealing with a biased debate is better than them being able, truthfully, to say he wouldn't agree.

But, sure, Trump is an idiot.

120 Riots over voting reform in the French territory of New Caledonia leave four people dead, including a cop.
-----
PARIS, May 15 (Reuters) - Deadly violence has erupted in New Caledonia, a French overseas territory in the South Pacific, after lawmakers in Paris approved a constitutional amendment to allow recent arrivals to the territory to vote in provincial elections.
The amendment, which some local leaders fear will dilute the vote of the indigenous Kanak, is the latest flashpoint in a decades-long tussle over France's role in the island.
New Caledonia, one of five island territories spanning the Indo-Pacific held by France, is central to Macron's plan to increase French influence in the Pacific.
The world's No. 3 nickel producer, New Caledonia lies at the heart of a geopolitically complex maritime region, where China and the United States are jostling for power and influence in security and trade.
Without naming China, Macron has previously said France's drive to expand its influence in the Pacific was to ensure a "rules-based development."

People seriously need to take a step back and ask themselves WHY they think what they think about Putin. Could it be because you've been conditioned to hate Russia?

Maybe, you read some opinion pieces from people you generally agree with who've formed their opinion of Putin based on one of the previously mentioned reasons.

I am not saying Putin is a good guy. I very much doubt that Putin is anything other than a piece of shit like most world leaders. But I don't know that and, from where I'm sitting, it looks to me like they don't like him for the same reasons they don't like Orban, or Milei, or Trump.

168 TBILISI, Georgia -- A controversial media bill passed this week by Georgia's parliament is “unacceptable” and will be vetoed, President Salome Zourabichvili said Thursday, reaffirming her opposition to a measure that critics say is a threat to free speech.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Zourabichvili harshly criticized the ruling Georgian Dream party for pushing the bill that also is widely seen as a threat to Georgia’s aspirations to join the European Union.

The bill, passed Tuesday, requires media and nongovernmental organizations and other nonprofit groups to register as “pursuing the interests of a foreign power” if they receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad. The government says the bill is needed to stem what it deems to be harmful foreign actors trying to destabilize politics in the South Caucasus nation of 3.7 million people.

Yeah, I'm guessing that whole family is banging each other and the pets. Remember a couple of years ago when Hunter and his scrawny cousin's tweets came out and she said something about "my dad doesn't like that we're together"?

"We're together" means something very specific. It doesn't mean hanging out, or sharing rent. It means in a relationship.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld “wait out” episode where Elaine and Jerry swoop in on the couple getting a divorce to say “I’m here for you” (that I’m here for you crap is genius, Jerry says)…. I’m here for you; winning hearts and minds. Both crap

263 My read on the debate kerfuffle,

The non-Biden factions of the Junta know that Biden can't beat Trump in a fair election. Because too many voters see that he's scarily incompetent.

The Biden faction (Kalorama) called for early debates to refute this. They hope that Biden can either bullshit through an hour (he's done it before) or win some points if Trump declines. Which is why Trump gave a quick yes to save his options. It's a desperation play by Kalorama.

But the other factions are desperate to stop Trump. They're plotting to replace Biden but with whom.

Pelosi wants Governor Brylcreem, and in her recent Oxford debate she showed that she's willing to burn the house down to get what she wants. Gavin will need a huge steal to win.

The there's the Wicked Witch of the Midwest, who hopes to be seen as a fresh-faced apple-cheeked Goldilocks compromise. Grethcen's on the DNC board and it'll have some say.

Then there's Hillary cackling in the wings ISYN. She'll tout that she's a safe hand on the tiller and that she'll bring scared voters back on the Democratic plantation.

YMMV

Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it any way I can
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
There's an old street light (near a garbage can)
Near a garbage can (near a garbage can)
Now she put the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that'll never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool

It doesn't say jack about NATO. What it does say is that the US guarentees the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and could easily be read to require US troops, not just material aid.

311 This is the most important election of your lifetime.

This is manifestly true.

Back during the founding, you and your neighbors worked things out, then eventually the local magistrate started getting involved, then the State, but eventually the States deferred to the Fe'ral Government. So year after year, election after election, the Fe'ral Government, which once played no role in your average person's life, decided to take your currency off the gold standard, it took your sons to fight in foreign wars, it took more and more of your income, it told you how to use your land, what car you can drive, what kind of light bulb they will allow you to buy, what food you can eat, that the 2nd Amendment doesn't apply to you, now the rest of the Bill of Rights no longer are available to you.

Each passing day the Fe'ral Government humiliates, subjugates and rapes you in a more comprehensive way. it will not stop until we make it stop, so in the mean time, we have the occasion to choose who is holding the whips to our back.

Oh I agree. But even well into my adulthood when I was no longer emotionally invested in the games the NFL was a positive thing in society; it promoted manly virtues of strength and endurance and also teamwork and sportsmanship. Many a young man learned those virtues in high school or even college ball. The NFL was the game played at the highest level and had good examples for young men like Tom Landry and Roger Staubach.

334 I am not so blithe about the "debate" as many seem to be. For one thing, Biden makes a complete ass of himself, every time (including against Paul Ryan) and comes out the "winner".

For another, our side is too prone to see us as "destroying" the lefties in debate. The recent Pelosi Oxford debate is an example. I see all over the conservosphere how she was humiliated. But the left doesn't seem to know it.

The one bright spot: it is clear that the long discussed decline of media influence is real. The reaction to Trump's trial makes that clear.

340 As for KC ditching the kicker, I doubt it.

They have weekly chapel services.
Their coach, who has had a catastrophe of a personal life, is a self-professed mormom.
And their QB is a self-professed Christian who goes to the weekly services and has credited his faith with helping his play.

So, instead, they'll probably have Kelce and Swift just go out to remind the left they are on KC, too...

B/c in the end, the kicker is amazing...and competence tends to be how the league runs...ask the out gays who got cut even with their "1st out" status...or Colin K...football can't stand by for symbols if you can't play...

341 328. Trump isn't stupid anymore than he is a criminal. Daddy didn't just give him the money in the will; he gave him the knowledge to run a real estate empire in Manhattan. So whatever else Trump may be, he's not stupid.

What I said, and what i stand by, is that Trump is lacking in HUMILITY. Which definitely qualifies him to be an elected politician. I don't think he would have gotten as far as he did in that endeavor either, if he were stupid.

350 I'd like to hear from the full-throated Trump defenders how this is brilliant 11-dimensional chess on his part,

It isn't. Though he is a self described "stable genius" he must communicate through retards and fools to an amoral population of perverts and lowlifes who still haven't made their minds up on how fast they want civilizational collapse.

Everyone with normally firing synapses does not need the "debates".

Personally, I think that the Biden junta called Trump's bluff, where Team Trump convinced themselves that as part of Trump's rally shtick, he could call out Biden believing that Biden's handlers would allow their Weekend @ Bernie's prop go out under the bright lights after dark.

I didn't make it through the so-called destroying of Pelosi, the guy opposing her is an idiot and couldn't make an argument. It was rather cringe worthy.

The problem with the Oxford debate is that those involved speak in wildly different languages. Pelosi is fluent in Trigger Language, she know how to toss a word salad in such a way to appease the emotional tastes of the vast swarms of illiterate and ignorant population who she is extremely effective in manipulating.

People who use grammar, structure and word definitions are at a severe disadvantage when communicating to this lost generation of smooth brains.

In the end Pelosi kicked his ass because she know how to communicate to the larger audience and the vote proved the fact that reason, logic and rationality have nothing to do with persuading a population.

He's a RW leader. He's vehemently anti-gay. Calls it a "perversion" and he'll "never accept it". May have been tied to a journalist's assassination, is a very pro-Putin type. The assailant may have many memories of the brutal Soviet occupation.

had he not been shot, he'd have faced a no confidence vote sooner rather than later. Now he won't. Thanks a lot, gun toting asshole. He has kept aid to Ukraine going. He might be a RW nutjob, but he does know what the real threat to the region is.

394 Frankly, I don't see a downside to Trump's gambit.

If Trump makes any condition, Biden will decline, and the press will blame Trump. So why wouldn't Trump go all in?

If Trump and Biden debate, no matter the conditions, the press will say Biden won. However, Americans will actually see Biden perform under pressure...and it won't be a good look for Biden (no matter how the MSM spins it). Hopefully, Trump won't be suffering from covid during the match-up. Even in the worst case scenario, Trump simply doesn't win - but Biden will look like the drugged-up, incoherent, senile pedophile that he is.

If Biden cancels, no matter the excuse, everyone will read into it that he can't handle the debate. Trump wins.

If Biden flails or doesn't show up, the Democrats will start looking for a replacement. The conventions are on the horizon...there is still time.

In conclusion, there is no downside for Trump.

I think it was the rejection - when women supported him, he flew. When he was thrown out by one he chose, he couldn't handle it. Only he was allowed to reject.

See Rory Mcilroy. He does the dumping every 7 years, and his game hasn't suffere yet.

403 Trump should have stood more firm on the debate rules. An error? Possibly. But he is still free to say whatever he wants. But he also took away the media and SloJoe's arrow out of the quiver by agreeing to debate him. Remember also that SloJoe is going to need to respond to Trump, without a teleprompter and prep. So maybe it's not the worst mistake.

421 398. Lack of humility (or perhaps even Conscious thought in Biden's case) is something virtually every elected official suffers from. Humble people don't run for elected office.

401. GW Bush was a blueblood. I voted for someone else in the primary in 2000, but ended up voting for him in the general election. It was some years before I realized just how false that "just-plain-folks" appeal was and how odious so many of his policies actually were; Nixon gave us the EPA and OSHA, and GW gave us FISA. And here we are.

NY Times reports the deep state approved steps are being taken in the wake of the Fico assassination attempt -

"The police, who had asked news outlets and social media users to turn off comments on articles and posts about the attack, said they were monitoring online activity. Some comments have condoned the violence against Mr. Fico, the police said on Facebook on Thursday, adding that if police action were needed, it would be taken.

"Slovakia’s often venomous divisions have been fed by its particularly noxious online ecosphere, where politicians have gained large followings with intemperate attacks on domestic critics and Western leaders."

You might say that the conventional wisdom is that the group that is "behind" wants to debate and the one that's "ahead" doesn't(and Trump has avoided debates when prudent though I remember the same people whining then), but that's not really relevant here.

From that moment, attention was brought to his antics and away from Hillary. TSF wants to be seen as a tough guy. And he's a fan of WW Wrestling. I'm uncertain that he would find anything out of bounds.

A Will Smith moment? Honestly, if tRump's cowardly ass tries anything like that, Biden should tell the secret service he's got this and then knock trump out cold. Let's see how his acolytes feel after seeing that.

any debate tends to cast 45 with the cloak of legitamacy. All 45 has to do is ramble and throw out a few insults, whereuoon RW media and related propaganda outlets will declare him the victor.

TBH, I doubt any debate will take place. trump will find an excuse of some sort.

The problem is that his side likes brash, rude jabs. They don't care about rational debate. It scares the begesus out of me that this has been driving this country into the ground.

Trades and does pretty well at it? Dude, you could have made more money over the last fifty years in an index fund than Donald Trump did investing in Real Estate.

Those who say that don't understand that there are running costs. Yeah, sure, live under the bridge and eat rats while your money is growing in an index fund - OR - siphon away hundreds of millions of dollars during that time on jets, broads, bribes, gold plated everything and end up with the same amount of money plus a super model wife on the best property in the country.

Also maybe Trump isn't making the mistake of believing the polls six months out and is playing like he's behind - to win - because thats the smart play. But probably nah bro, he's an ego and an idiot. He should act like he has all the cards and is 50 points ahead like Hillary.

I will note that Marla Maples reported that he pointed out that, after his bankruptcies, that he pointed out that the homeless on the street were worth more than he was on paper, and that seems to have affected him... after that, a lot of his focus seems to have been on elevating the common man. I find that interesting, as I have reports that he's IMMENSELY personable with people of all walks of life when he encounters them. Trump is (rightly) proud of his accomplishments, but he seems to be humble enough to realize that other people have value too, which is more than I can say for the players on the other side.

Then again - pace JJ (Happy Birthday, btw!) - maybe Trump isn't afraid of Joe and Dana bash and Jake Tapper. I don't think this is any sign of particular genius or extradimensional Chinese checkers. It is a sign of his confidence (whether that is appropriate or over confidence remains to be seen). Biden replied to anytime anywhere with anytime anywhere - but his had conditions.

FWIW - Trump thinks that even with those conditions its a winning position for him. I mean, he could be a fool and Joe Biden has played him for it. Or maybe not.

I disagree STRENUOUSLY with the idea that Trump's focus hasn't been on helping the common man. I mean, that's his entire pitch as President, and I think he stuck by it, at a sizable cost to his net worth. But even before that, he wrote books like "We Want You To Be Rich" and focused his brand on the idea of spreading what he knew to help people without his advantages to succeed, like the entire concept behind The Apprentice. What he does with his free time is his business, but he clearly had some sort of epiphany that the average person was WORTH his time and effort to help around the time Maples said he made that little speech to her. Which, ironically, probably makes him the OPPOSITE of Mother Teresa, who did NOT have nice things to say about the people she helped in her private writings...

542 This from someone who is constantly telling us to compromise our principles to win.

For what?

Well yeah. Trump’s a horrible person but better than losing to Biden.

543 His focus was fucking porn stars and playing golf.

If it was, he wouldn't have run for President, and not only endured the shitstorm of opprobrium and hate blasted his way, but come back for more. Twice.

But logic has never been your strong suit, has it. Being a contrarian asswipe is more in your line.

544 >>Would the Left be happy if Melania put on a hundred pounds, either cut off or dyed her hair purple, tatted up, pierced what wasn't inked and then hung out with lesbians?

Not happy, but they would have a much easier time slandering her based on her physical appearance. Oh look, this ugly woman fits the "ugly conservative" narrative we depend on to get you to hate them.

Watching the Left come unglued over Sarah Palin, it became clear that someone beautiful, confident and accomplished without having to embrace their values and without their assistance (their powerplayers, their institutions) really upsets them.

545 Trump is a showman. And the debate plus the pre-hype is going to be a hell of a show.

I know everyone here, even the people who think Trump "made a mistake" is going to watch it.

DC is Hollywood for ugly people or something like that.

If pointing out Trump’s failures to the cultists is contrarian, so be it.

How is FenelonSpouse doing?

You can tell him that this morning, as I was driving by the uplands fields, a healthy hen turkey started to cross the road in front of me. We were on a collision course. I had two seconds to react. I braked and honked the horn, as she took wing.

As she filled the windshield in front of me I swerved just enough for her to hit my big flat mirror on the driver's side. Wing feathers flew off of her. What a particularly stupid bird brain. If her wing is broken she is doomed. Because the upland fields are full of coyotes, fox, and bobcats. Turkeys fly into trees to sleep overnight.

548 Trump could have banged porn stars and played golf the rest of his life being worshiped wherever he goes.

Or he could have run for president as a leftist D and REALLY been worshiped.

For some reason he is instead facing ruin and jail and still continuing to broadcast a message that *we* all knew but for some reason no other Republican would.

Probably because he's such a dumbass selfish idiot faggot dick.

Your post is about as relatable as it can get to the horde mind,...and in the minds of most Americans who must work to make a living. IOW you are spot on. Trump is Providential. He is not normal and we will not see his kind again. Trump does oddball stuff (agreeing to this type 'debate' is odd as hell ) but he is fighting, literally, putting his life and his fortune on the line to save his beloved country. We overlook the oddball stuff because there is not even a scintilla...nay not a smidgen of doubt of WHAT he is fighting for.....USA and US.

You said all he's interested in his playing golf and fucking porn stars, and idiotic characterization which is completely at odds with reality. Care to re-examine that statement, fuckwit?

But I don't expect you to change. First, you've demonstrated you're really fucking stupid, and second, you're in your own little contrarian cult.

This reminds me of a cartoon I saw one time. Two turkey vultures sitting on a branch. One says to the other, "I'm tired of waiting, let's go kill something."

553 'morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

Clinton to Biden Foreign Policy (policies) = One of the traps for Trump in public debate. Climate, another.

>War vs. Domestic Funding. War has again become the driver of the US economy, but after securing Ukraine funding, the Dems quickly pivot to domestic spending.

The NYT, 05/16/2024: With Ukraine Funded, New Fight Emerges in Congress Over Pentagon Spending. Match McConnel and other top Republicans want more federal money for the military. But Democrats say domestic programs must get an equivalent boost.

The Kyiv Independent, May 14, 2024: Blinken emphasizes long-term US security commitment to Ukraine in visit to Kyiv In part, "Our own ten-year agreement, the United States will support Ukraine's defense and security across a range of essential capabilities..."

Mykhailo Fedorov @FedorovMykhailo
Today, during a press briefing, @SecBlinken
has announced a new $2 billion aid package for the defense-industrial complex & new Defense Enterprise Fund.* Clear actions at the right time. I am grateful for the visit and systematic unwavering US support of Ukraine.

554 >Another trap is the ICC & how its fundamentals can be used here (Jack Smith, etc.) and abroad.

As per the Council on Foreign Relations: "Some forty countries never signed the treaty, including China, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iraq, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Several dozen others signed the statute, but their legislatures never ratified it. These include Egypt, Iran, Israel, Russia, Sudan, Syria, and the United States."

Harvard University: From “Invade the Hague” to “Support the ICC”: America’s shifting stance on the International Criminal Court, April 27, 2022

In part, "Not only did the Senate unanimously support America’s cooperation with the ICC’s investigation of war crimes in Ukraine, but the lead author of S.Res.546, Lindsey Graham, a staunch Republican,..."

>And, the US, European obsession over southeastern Europe (old Yugoslavian region); through WWs & current politics, it's been a constant.

>politico, eu, 04/21/24 - Slovaks crowd-fund ammo for Ukraine. We will help Ukraine despite our pro-Russian government.

>Defense News, Mar 7, 2024 - UK Military's 10-year spending plan isn't affordable, committee finds

He's done crazier things. Some of them have worked. Some haven't. Guess we'll see which this is.

560 Pretty sure they had Navalny on tape asking foreign powers for support to overthrow the Russian government. I'd say that makes the difference pretty stark.
