As the "right wing radio pundit" said on my way home tonight, a finding by the Supremes that allows the prosecution of The Bad Orange Man also opens the door to, for example, arrest Obama for murdering an American citizen. ( nevermind I agreed with the murder, since the guy deserved it imho )
It's hard to find rational coverage of this case, the Trump Loyalists spin it wildly, as do the Commie Thug Media. Hinderaker is biased, but open about it, and seems fairly sane, but golly gee, it's a low bar to stroll over in politics.
I'm not interested in the job, but there might be some Republican Senator that has spent years constructing a persona that is electable to President, and has secretly been planning a massive restructuring of government, if he ever gets a chance. A guy, or gal who's played it cool and kept their temper, held the rage against the corruption and foul play surrounding them.
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like the results, long term, but I can fantasize about hundreds of government members being awakened in the early morning, by Federal Marshals, told there is a threat on their lives, and whisked away to protective custody on a cruise ship... Redacted... autopilot set, Stephen King plot borrowed... Redacted... ( better not mention the starving ROUS ) etc.
I admire the Abraham Accords, the first useful peace initiative in the middle East since the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
It's not necessarily true any given President can improve the economy, though they can, like Joe*, trash it.
The reason a President can't take full credit on the economy is Lag. It takes time for a long term trend, while short, sudden change to the stock market is common. Generally, lowering taxes takes time to uplift investments and confidence. ( while raising them quickly chills investments )
Of course, they ALL try to take credit. Obama famously, ( except in Party Media ) inherited a recovering economy from Bush the Younger, and his efforts slowed the recovery for years, while he lied about how bad Bush was & how awesome he was. Typical, if especially dishonest.
Similarly, Joe* inherited the recovery from the Covid Tyranny Lockdowns & claims full credit for the partial recovery that his inflation cranking agenda ruined.
It's fair to blame Trump for listening to the Wrong Deep State bad guys, and supporting the Democrat Governors and Mayors that illegally closed businesses for 2 weeks... That became Years. I get he doesn't want to take responsibility for that. Too bad.
But all that said. Trump did wonders for the economy and healed some trauma from his predecessor, the Commie Racist Taqiyya President, Barry the Weasel. And Trump did it the right way, better jobs and pay and employment for minorities, instead of the Democrat promises, blame an hate mongering, and insulting insistence that the minorities could not possibly succeed without the rich white Democrats giving them stuff.
So generally I'm not a Trump Fan.
Don't have TDS, either.
I don't claim to be free of bias, sure. But my opinions on Trump are as neutral as I've seen in media.
To be fair, I will cheer any politicians sent to prison.
The D Party is already planning the riots and Actual Insurrection to block the 2024 election results if their Fraud Fails to Stop Trump From Destroying Our Democracy. ( reg trademark DNC )
their Party Media is already "warning" you about the MAGA Insurrection they plan to fake if their Fraud gives Joe* ( or Gavin, or Michelle ) the announced win.
We Are Not getting a replay of the Jan 6 False Flag Operation.
If Trump wins, the cities will burn. Every evil commie & Islamist & CCP group will be well funded by Hydra and bused from riot to riot.
That's assuming, optimistically, the riots and attacks on Republican Congresscritters and the Capitol fail to overturn the election.
Because they won't be fake pipe bombs planted by "intelligence community" agents like the one near the DNC ( While Kamala* and her SS "visited" ) which is an ignored backup plan if the Capitol False Flag failed. They'll be real and there will be murders.
Because I'm ignorant about mythological entities like qanon? and MAGA Terrorists, and most Republicans I actually know are comparatively sane ( compared to Democrat Activists, so is The Joker ) if quite angry, I'm not "in the loop" on any plans if the election is Awarded to Joe*.
But I really hope no one falls for FBI Entrapment, again.
Probably belongs in the lying Party Media thread, but it's interesting that Putin & Xi & every other Despot favor Joe*.
I'm not picking on the President of Mexico, here. I'm willing to do that later.
After all, I remember that the Democrat Version of the "War on drugs" is a war on Americans, instead of the free addiction treatment and drug education program Nixon wrote. AND that the Democrat policy is WHY the drug cartels terrorize and rule Mexico.
Prohibition turned small local criminal gangs into Organized Crime and incredibly wealthy criminals. Both times.
I might have to become a Trump Fan if he has the cojones to call B.S. on the Con.
Once upon a time, Alcohol was the Dream Fuel since burning it in a car engine produced zero hydrocarbons. ( except from trace lubricating oil ) Smog problem solved! In combination with catalytic converters to scrub the oxides of Nitrogen produced in high compression engines.
Sure, the promise of Alcohol from garbage, food waste, and miracle crops that thrived where farming for food was unproductive, all got erased from Media when they all failed to be economical, and like Brazil ( sugar cane ) the government money went to food/booze crops ( mostly corn ) that could, with enough subsidy, and ignoring the math, ( how much fuel burned to make fuel ) it worked. For values of work.
But because the Global Warming Hoax doesn't actually try to displace fossil fuels, just raise energy costs to Bring The Revolution, Alcohol and it's harmless CO2 & water vapor exhaust has been Decreed by The Prophets of the Only Allowed Faith, as evil.
It's a certain bet, that if some lab developed a fuel that only emitted pure Oxygen and a pleasant scent of lilacs, it too would become Blasphemous and Forbidden.
And the lab would be destroyed just like in the movie Chain Reaction. A Threat to the status quo, in the movie. Threat to the Glorious Revolution in real life even more.
And the lab would be destroyed just like in the movie Chain Reaction. A Threat to the status quo, in the movie. Threat to the Glorious Revolution in real life even more.
Change "lab" to "Trump", and re-read that statement...and you've got the Uniparty mantra.
Well, that settled it! Trump will get life in prison without parole for ever associating with Cohen. And a gag order against protesting his innocence! Or using english.
Really all Trump has to do is promise never to be seen again and concede the election to Obama-Biden* forever, and he can retire to mara largo!
If I was on that jury I'd be discussing the grave danger we were all in if we rule either way and the Enemy doxxes us, published our identity and address and where our children go to school. The only escape is to band together and refuse to talk about who had which opinion, so they don't get murdered or worse.
It's unfortunate that a jury can't, afaik, order the Judge and DA to be arrested and held without bail for lying to a jury.
