Trump campaign officials, led by Rudy Giuliani, oversaw fake electors plot in 7 states

This is another big one, this could be Watergate times ten.

There is so much wrongdoing that went on that DOJ are probably overwhelmed by it.

I don’t know what’s going to happen, but it is a seriously chitty situation for Biden to be in after Trump destabilized America’s role in NATO and undermined our presence in Europe to appease Putin. When you say go to war there can’t be a unilateral action by the U.S. against Russia. It will still have to involve NATO.


Putin is taking advantage of what's going on politically in the U.S. and he's doing everything he can to hurt Biden. He wants his lackey back in the Whitehouse.

Facts. Putin’s goal is to destroy NATO. When Trump was in the Whitehouse he alienated NATO and was soft on Putin. Now that Biden’s in the Whitehouse Putin is trying to bait him. Putin doesn’t want a war, but he knows that if he makes Biden look weak, his friends on Fox News and right wing media will do the rest.


Fox News is working angles for the Russians now. It’s insane how transparent it has become. Carlson is going to do shows in Hungary and pal around with Orban. They’re not even hiding their fascist longings.

And we have tens of millions of brain dead Americans who scoff at the incontrovertible evidence that Trump and the GOP sold themselves out to Putin’s bankroll.

The NRA was heavily funded by the Russians and that bankrolled their SuperPACs.

Don’t people realize that Tish James is also suing the NRA in NY? And that she has said the rot runs deep in the NRA?

She’s gunning for Trump because she has seen the dirt and she knows about a lot more than just how corrupt the Trump organization’s valuation fraud practices were. She also knows a whole lot about the dirty money flowing through Trump and the GOP and where it came from.

She courageously took on the bad guys and she’s winning. She’s a damn hero AFAIK

It’s a global mafia with Trump running interference in American affairs on Putin’s behalf and making back door deals with Israel and half of the Arab oil sheiks. Many billions of undocumented dollars have changed hands and some of it went into offshore shell accounts for Trump and other members of the GOP.

Ivanka was given $100M by the UAE for her (cough, cough) fund for women entrepreneurs. Where’s that money now?

The Inauguration Fund raised $120M, $100M went unaccounted for. They tried to frame Ivanka’s friend Wolk for embezzling, so she flipped on them as she had receipts for her expenditures and was the honest one.

Guess who was arrested? Tom Barrack, who was deep in that inauguration fund and the funny money in the Middle East with Jared Kushner.

In 2016 Putin sold 19.5% in Rosneft to Qatar, one of the biggest oil deals ever, and it is basically a shadow deal. Qatar pumped money into the GOP. There were a dozen ways for Putin to fund the GOP and take over our country. That’s why they call McConnell Moscow Mitch. They were purchased by Putin in 2016 and ordered to get behind Trump.

Of course its bigger.

This makes Watergate look like a picnic staged by three olds

I was talking to a buddy yesterday about Fox and how the hosts can go on the air and literally lie their asses off. How are they able to get away with it without any repercussions is beyond me. Carlson is the worst of the bunch, he literally lies on a daily basis which ends up costing lives. You would think there would be at least a legal cost for him but there doesn't seem to be. That's not even getting to him being a fascist and white supremacist. This is all so out there at this point, they don't even try to hide it.

A lot of the tradies down here have Tucker playing in their work vans all day long. That’s one of their core demographics, blue collar guys, some self-employed, who make a decent living driving trucks or doing electrics and plumbing. They’re not rich, but they’re also not poor at all and in some cases they pull in a lot of side cash and make six figures.

They believe every word that comes out of his mouth. I’ve talked to more than a few about their understanding of what they’re listening to and every one of them were functionally illiterate in civics. The only one who was educated was also wildly bigoted. They’re also white guys and are not at all down with anything progressive.

They are literally on Tucker’s feed being mainlined every working day for hours at a time. I’ve had to listen to Carlson a couple of times because of these guys parked where I happened to be at the time and it is spooky what a Goebbels he is. If he read back Mein Kampf during lunchtime I don’t think they would even notice.

It’s their background music, they’re not actively listening the majority of the time and Tucker knows that. Listen to his cadences and rhetorical techniques. It’s all classic hypnotic language. This stuff is done to embed subconsciously which is another reason most of these people can’t debate politics. They’re been programmed by this background soundtrack, but they literally have no practice at critical thought.

P.S. Trump called in to Hannity this week. His brain is really scrambled. Started blabbing about the wall in response to an entirely different question that had the word wall in it.

You guys shouldn’t sleep on Desantis. He’s a lot smarter than he positions himself.

If you look at his Wikipedia page the guy is basically positioning himself to run for President his whole life. Desantis is a shameless liar, a manipulator and will position himself with whatever ways the political wind blows. He reminds me of Boris Johnson in the UK who tries to make himself look like an everyman despite being an elitist and swamp creature himself. The guy went from a loner congressman who had done nothing to in Congress to Governor of Florida by attaching himself to Trump and now has a shot at being the Republican nominee for President in 2024. He might be a real life Frank Underwood from House of Cards. Desantis has pretty much created an authoritarian hellhole in Florida and people support him because he doesn’t speak like a crazy psychotic **** like Trump. Underestimate him at your own peril.

Couldn't agree more, he is absolutely shameless in his drive for power. His proposal to set up a new "civilian military force" that would "not be encumbered by the federal government" is very telling where this guy wants to take things. Very scary stuff.

Oral CBD Prevented COVID-19 Infection in Real-World Patients, Study Suggests

Cannabidiol—the non-psychoactive cannabis compound better known as CBD—is a potent blocker of SARS-CoV-2 replication in human cells, new research shows. Not only that, but a survey of real-world patients taking prescribed CBD found a “significant” negative relationship between CBD consumption and COVID-19 infection.

As detailed in a paper published Thursday in the peer-reviewed journal Science Advances by a team of 33 researchers at the University of Chicago and University of Louisville, a survey of 1,212 U.S. patients taking prescribed CBD found that people taking 100 milligrams-per-milliliter oral doses of CBD returned positive COVID-19 tests at much lower rates than control groups with similar medical backgrounds who did not take CBD.

According to the study, all of the patients were people who had seizure-related conditions, which CBD is often prescribed to treat. Of this group, 6.2 percent returned positive COVID-19 tests or a diagnosis, compared to 8.9 percent in the control group. Among a smaller subset of patients who were likely taking CBD on the dates of their first COVID-19 test, the effect was even more pronounced: Only 4.9 percent of people taking CBD became infected with COVID-19, compared to 9 percent in the control group.

"Our results suggest that CBD and its metabolite 7-OH-CBD can block SARS-CoV-2 infection at early and even later stages of infection,” the study states.

Fox News is working angles for the Russians now. It’s insane how transparent it has become. Carlson is going to do shows in Hungary and pal around with Orban. They’re not even hiding their fascist longings.

And we have tens of millions of brain dead Americans who scoff at the incontrovertible evidence that Trump and the GOP sold themselves out to Putin’s bankroll.

The NRA was heavily funded by the Russians and that bankrolled their SuperPACs.

Don’t people realize that Tish James is also suing the NRA in NY? And that she has said the rot runs deep in the NRA?

She’s gunning for Trump because she has seen the dirt and she knows about a lot more than just how corrupt the Trump organization’s valuation fraud practices were. She also knows a whole lot about the dirty money flowing through Trump and the GOP and where it came from.

She courageously took on the bad guys and she’s winning. She’s a damn hero AFAIK


I'm wondering if Tish abandoned her gubernatorial run because this needed her full attention. LOL.

Of this group, 6.2 percent returned positive COVID-19 tests or a diagnosis, compared to 8.9 percent in the control group. Among a smaller subset of patients who were likely taking CBD on the dates of their first COVID-19 test, the effect was even more pronounced: Only 4.9 percent of people taking CBD became infected with COVID-19, compared to 9 percent in the control group.

"Our results suggest that CBD and its metabolite 7-OH-CBD can block SARS-CoV-2 infection at early and even later stages of infection,” the study states.

That’s petty obnoxious of you to condemn the long-standing medical benefits of cannabis and its derivatives. Not very astute either.

Rough day? I was making a joke at your expense. Didn’t even mention cannabis
