Foreign Policy Danger

Everyone knows that he almost never tells the truth. It is very rare.
Obviously Biden had nothing to do with Hamas launching a sneak attack on a holiday. That was on Netanyahu who allowed lax defense at the border even though he had intell that there could be an attack in the near future from tunnels which he had the intell.

And re Russia if Biden weakness led to that ( what an asinine thing to say ) then why has Putin tried to get Trump to beat Harris. He always wants his little fawning dummy in power because no weapons would be sent to Ukraine under Trump.
Putin could not start the war between 16-20 because if he did the transparently obsequious student Trump would have helped Russia win and and that could hurt Trump’s chances of re-election. Putin also thought it would be a relatively quick cakewalk.

And Covid sealed the deal to wait. He was going to invade n the next term no matter who was president and 21 was also a problem because of Covid. So it fell to early 22.
.

China - China might invade Taiwan. Everyone knows that Trump is an isolationist and he would do nothing to stop it if China decides to do it. Biden has done a number to f successful things to make it undesirable to China. This could be a dangerous flashpoint and severely weaken world stability.

Trump will not be a diplomat with Iran. If the war spreads Trump will help Israel and that’s good but he won’t be the solid rock of solid advise Israel has always received from the USA.
Trump lack of diplomatic strategy for an endgame will possibly put gasoline on fire.

Korea - if there was ever a time for North Korea to go to war with South Korea it would be while Trump was in office. Trump is an isolationist and he has no relationship with S Korea like he does with Netanyahu. He will stand by and watch what his sweetheart pen pal does. Very dangerous for the world stability and alliances.

Those are 4 potential flashpoints where Trump’s actual true
weakness and isolationist philosophy will create Cthe potential for war.

Some dope from the National Review has written a very stupid and irritating opinion piece saying that immediately Biden should pardon Trump
and NY governor should also.

No way. That would make a mockery of the rule of law concerning crimes against the country itself.
And Jan 6 got people KILLED.
So no way. He might never be held accountable.

The New York case can’t be squashed and he can be sentenced now or after his term. I think he can be sentenced because the DOJ rule about not charging a sitting president is for federal crimes only. It applies to the DOJ.

The Georgia case is there and only the governor can pardon. That will be interesting.


What About Hunter?

Yes some type of clemency is needed because Trump has proven that he is not a lot of bluster and empty threats when it comes to vindictiveness.

He could have Hunter put into the most dangerous prison and into the worst section. he can possibly be in. He could set up the possibility that Hunter could be murdered.

Joe would be a fool to make any deal with Trump because obviously Trump cannot be trusted. Not when his son’s life is at stake.

I think Hunter was not sentenced yet. I don’t remember a sentence. The 2 forms of clemency is pardon or commutation. I’m not sure Joe can issue a commutation if a sentence has not been imposed.

I feel certain that if he could do either he would go commutation because that does not do anything to the tax evasion conviction. There would be no continuation of a sentence.

Re the gun case. I don’t think that was part of the guilty plea so if not there has to be a pardon.

People have gotten pardons for far worse.

Some Very Very Dangerous Scams To Be Rolled Out by tRUMP That Could Seriously Injure Poor and MiddleClass People

Here are some things that Trump will go for and if they effect you and if you voted for him and you suffer then don’t complain and blame yourself.


1. He will try to defund federal partnership with states providing Medicaid. Can you imagine the horror to be wrought on poor people as their benefits decrease and they get less coverage and more co pays or no coverage ? Sinful and disgraceful.

2. No taxes on Tips - scam because most waiters and waitresses don’t earn enough for that to matter. It could be used by servers at high end restaurants like Fogo or expensive Italian restaurants that bring wine to your table.

3. If you decide not to report your tips and pay no taxes on them then you are reducing your social security benefits at a time when you are incapable of working so your safety net gets ripped and you can lose 10,000 or 15,000 a year until you die which happen sooner if that causes financial straits.
So it is like eating candy every day and wonder later why you have diabetes.

4. No taxes on social security benefits. Uniformed people and a variety of dummies don’t realize that it could lead to social security cuts and accelerated insolvency of the social security fund.
AND it could only apply to people whose income is high enough to have taxes. With deductions you already have most people with the high end benefits will already pay little taxes.
So it will benefit those who do not need the no tax gift that will be given to them on the backs who cannot afford less monthly benefits. Sound familiar?
A lot of poor schmucks voted for Trump for this scam.

5. Overthrowing ACA - if you think that the country has already bitten that bullet then you would be wrong.
Tens of millions poor and lower middle class people are healthy and alive because of this godsend from President Obama. It is the most important domestic accomplishment since the civil rights of The Great Society.
Speaker Johnson ( aptly named ) has said “ I am open to dismantling the ACA.”
Only people who work can get Obama Care and you can only earn up to a certain amount. I think 35,000$.
The insurance is real insurance - the same millionaires have or anybody in between. Blue Cross / Blue Shield and Aetna and Cigna etc.
And they are the high end of these coverages.
Tens of millions of people and their families receive mana from heaven because of ACA.

That the people who not just need but survive because of it clap their hands and cheer is one of the many reasons but a top one that has made me call our country A DUMB AND REALLY REALLY STUPID COUNTRY!!!!

These are a few off the top of my head.

The Real Truth So Help Me Zod

All of the Dem supporting pundits and talking heads say it is a 50/50 country. And it was a close election which it was. I used to believe in the 50/50 estimate but not now.
I think that if abortion was not an issue and Roe v Wade had not been murdered the election would have been one sided.

I think that fewer women would have voted - less votes for Harris and Dems. And some Republican women who crossed over would not have.
I think it is more like a 55-45 country or 54- 46.

I think that the political ethnicity has changed. It is right now a right wing country. There is a new normal.

I have more tomorrow.

Democrats In Action

The Democratic Party needs to acknowledge a few things about the country writ large.
They need to do this before they can become the dominant party again because they are definitely not.

They need to understand the nature of and the driving forces and the bee hive group personality of the Trump base and their associates and they also need to know what makes democrats tick as well and why the clock is not keeping time.

Make Abortion Great Again

The earliest surviving premature baby is 21 weeks.
Im good with lowering the threshold to 20
weeks. Unless the woman is in great jeopardy of death or grievous or significant harm.

Also in 6 week ban states if the woman learns that she is pregnant at 7 weeks or 8 weeks who can disprove it that it was past 6 weeks if the woman says it was 6 weeks. Especially if the tiny fetus is disposed of by hospital personnel. Will the sonogram be absolutely accurate at that early a stage?

The greatest and most thought provoking song about abortion is Bodies by The Sex Pistols. I’m not kidding.

It is a Sick Sick Sick Sick World

I guess Iraq has their own version of Trumpism.
Iraq just created a law based on Sharia law that allows men of any age to marry girls as young as 9 years old. And the law takes away the woman’s right to divorce or have custody.

The rapers wanted the age to be 7 because it is a lucky number and it was the age of some of the prophets wives while the opposition was agreeable to 11. They split the baby and settled on 9.

At times I would think that maybe the Iraq war was not in vain. Maybe Iraq had become a reasonable country free of a dictator. Maybe history will treat Bush more kindly.

But no. It was a complete disaster of a war conducted for no one.

What a world. Here we elect a felon who caused 10 people to die as a result of an historic violent day that he wanted. He got 10 killed but screams about Afghanistan where he was too chicken shiit to get our remaining soldiers out during his term.
He dumped it on Biden. 10 v 13.

Sick sick people sick sick countries.

correction - it is about to be passed.

Look Beyond and Read Between the Lines

The day after Trump won the Russian State News TV which is controlled by the Kremlin and Putin had a rather noteworthy segment.
Full Freedom of the media does not exist there. Commentary on the war on TV news brought that home a few times. People were fired and were lucky they were not jailed.

Preamble finished this is fascinating. The News show had a segment which discussed and showed Melania nude modeling photos. There was much merriment and laughter.

No way they could have done that without a blessing and permission. Maybe the story was given to them.
I think it is an example of Putin reminding Trump that he is still controlled and whatever he has on Trump he still has.

Second interest but chilling story.
In the N Carolina governor race Dem Josh Smith beat MAGA candidate 54 - 42,
This is hard to calculate. Smith is Jewish so did he get less votes in a southern state and the MAGA might be the bigoted Nazi supporter and KKK and misogynist and sexually deviant person to run for Governor anywhere in modern times.

So how did he get 42%? Even MAGA abandoned him although Trump never publicly pulled his support.
I am thinking that if he was the same person but white he would gotten more votes - maybe a lot.

So in North Carolina someone can be the reincarnation of Hitler and get 42%.
Take the square root of OMG and multiply it by the square root of nausea.

ON THE ASSASSINATION BUREAUS OF IRAQ AND IRAN AND BOMBS AWAY

Back in the good old days when republicans, other then people like Gingrich and the rest of his precursor of MAGA associates, were thoughtful, intelligent NORMAL PEOPLE and dedicated to the rule of law the same as democrats. And in relationships good and bad with other countries reliable and consistent and dignified.
Oh those were the good old days for people who were NOT crazy with anger and hatred and wacko conspiracy theories and against the representative authority of the party in power.

Some of us will never live to see a return to having a country that half of the world population does not think of as let’s say substandard to be very kind and gentle.

To make a long story short, Bush #1 was in the cross hairs of Saadam who tried to assassinate him. It was not classified it was made public but big explosive headlines THERE WERE NOT. I could never understand why it was a small one off story.

I wondered why wasn’t there a very significant reaction like bombs away.

Now, there has been an attempt to kill Trump by Iran ( BTW there has been 3 major attempts by 3 separate parties over 60 days ) and it did get press but again it was a one off story with no big explosive headlines.

Biden did not retaliate in mass but he did issues a forceful statement that if Trump was killed it would be taken as declaration of war. And war is what happened to Iraq.

So 2 questions. Why would 2 countries try to kill a president knowing that if they succeeded their country would get destroyed especially since they did not have nukes? You can say what you want untrue as it would be about Biden but there has been retaliation against the hooties and major military assistance to Israel including placing destroyers near Israel to thwart Iran and others and use of the defensive and offensive weapons. There was no hesitation to send our destroyers into the region immediately after war was threatened more then once.

Many people said that when Bush #2 went to war with Iraq that the attempt on his father was part of his motivation. That was never acknowledged
BUT if it was I always thought that it was a very legitimate reason.

If we were not in an election cycle I would have supported a massive response to the attempt and I am certain that Biden would have done it because he is an institutionalist loyal to our values and obligations.
It would have been seen an invitation to massive war with a ferocity not seen since WW2.

Believe it or not if Trump decides to level a massive crippling decapitating response to the attempt I would fully support it.

Both attempts were not from Lee Harvey Oswald types. They were attempts by government assigned killers.

So I say bombs away.

The Nullification and Succession and Return to The Articles of Confederation Project 1825

People talk about a violent civil war coming.
Probably not.
But what is coming and it can’t be stopped is the dismantling of many institutions and departments of the federal government in accordance with the radical shift to states rights.

And it is not coming from intelligent normal reasonable people. It is coming from the radical and some of them crazy fringe people on a mission from God to spread white Christian nationalism and Jesus and the new definition of democracy and patriotism and the proper place in the world for the United States.

They want to replace what they call indoctrination with real indoctrination of a dangerous anti democracy and anti science and anti inclusion and anti intellectual and anti federal kind.

If they do not rip apart our system through dismantling they will severely defund. Department of Education will be battle axed.
. In the interest of mercy I won’t even talk about what some of truly lunatic states will do with their right to be right. The anti what really matters people will win.

That which Matters vs Anti matter comes in pairs in this country and when they do meet which is now happening on a large scale they annihilate each other.

I hope that NASA is not defunded because it really does enlighten and educate and answers questions that are important for the people that live on land and not the creatures that just left the swamps to begin to walk on land and have not yet evolved or those who instead are de - evolving.

Maybe some agencies like the FDA and Department of Education will get new leaders only to bring about dismantling and transition to the states.

Let the buyers beware.
