Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Yesterday I was lying; today I'm telling the truth.

Good chart. I picked up some small points and it would probably help others get their heads straight and stop calling it experiemental

Erik Prince (of Darkness) under investigation by the DoJ. I consider this one of the key indicators justice is being pursued in earnest. This is very good news.

Has he been identified as a “target”?

Busy at the moment, but look at the intercept. I know I’ve been hard on that publication at times, but it looks like news to me

In fairness to Prince, Khalifa Hifter looks a lot like Hitler, so understandable.

A glimmer of hope is this

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-number-of-americans-identifying-as-republican-is-the-lowest-its-been-in-a-decade-gallup-poll-11617812129

And after January 6th there were reports about an exodus from the GOP with many voters changing to indy or dem registrations.

So even though polls consistently tell us 2/3rds of Republicans still believe the election was stolen that should also be understood in the context that GOP registration has been in decline for some time and it is getting worse. IOW, more sane Republicans abandoned the GOP than is generally recognized which is why the remaining percentages of Republicans who believe the big lie is so high.

Trump’s election was probably the last hurrah of white nationalism (though corporatism remains intact) and we’ve all known the demographics favor change in the long run as long as non-whites don’t fall for the malarkey of the GOP.

So, yeah, it is bad and it does look like as many as 50M Americans are radicalized into a permanent state of delusionary assholism and they see violence as the proper response. But they are outnumbered so while American culture is diseased by these people it can overcome them.

Some very positive news. Manhattan DA opens a SECOND Grand Jury against the Trump org. After Vance steps down, look for incoming DA Bragg to be the one to bring indictments. This confirms they will indict and arrest Trump for valuation fraud which I’ve been saying for a good while will happen. It’s happening and there is no escape for Trump. They will probably cut deals with flippers, but there is only prison for Trump in this endgame

He'll get a fine. He'll NEVER see the inside of a jail cell.

First thing working against jail time is the criminal justice system's aversion to jailing rich people in general. The biggest reason is they'll be afraid of giving Trump his "Mein Dummkopf" moment and becoming a martyr to the far right, which probably encompasses at least half the right of the country. Then there's the fact he's an ex-President. 3 strikes, Trumps out free. His company will take a hit though.

They are vaccinated. Oh the irony, indeed. :lol:

Have you seen that outdoor sports stadiums have plenty of fans in the seats? World Series? Football? Even indoor professional basketball. That’s one of the great benefits of being vaccinated.
