So what? I learned Trump can win presidential elections and serve as U.S. president, even from his prison cell.


Well, there is the US Constitution ,14th amendment, section 3:

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

If he is convicted of any insurrection charge including conspiracy, there will be strong legal grounds to prohibit him from all public office...

Favourite comment on this by (must-read) Darth Putin:

"I’m beginning to think that giving a psychopath his own private army of criminals was not a good idea."

Twitter may not be good for much but a laugh these days but it is still very good for that. :^)

Edit: other goodies..

"2nd most powerful army in world
2nd most powerful army in Ukraine
2nd most powerful Russian army in Ukraine

2nd most powerful army in Russia"

"Day 485 of my 3 day war. Russia is invading Russia to free Russia from those who invaded Russia to free Russia from those who invaded Russia.
I remain a master strategist."

Russian Losses in Bakhmut 'Nine Times' More Than Ukraine's.


A lot of people thought Ukraine's commmanders were nuts to slog it out in Bakhmut when the entire town is basically trashed, and this was the reason suspected. (Crazy like a fox?) Wow... 9x is more than I would have guessed.

One thing that seems to be overlooked by those supporting Donny, and the American population in general, is "What will be the impact on U.S. Intelligence if Donny gets away with these charges and becomes president again?"


Of all the legal challenges, the ones I was most hoping would go to fruition were the Jan. 6th set. If he were convicted of any form of insurrection ie conspiracy, he would then be prohibited from seeking public office due to the 14th amendment. Doesn't seem like that's going to happen in time though.

Looks like the (expected) big one is official:

(Donald) Trump indicted in classified documents case in Florida

Former President Donald Trump has been indicted in federal court in Miami in connection with his retention of classified government documents he retained after leaving the White House.

Trump himself disclosed the indictment in a series of posts on his Truth Social social media site on Thursday evening. He also said he has been summoned to appear in court in Miami on Tuesday.

NBC News soon after confirmed the indictment.

Supreme Court denies request to block Illinois ban on semi-automatic rifles

Washington — The Supreme Court on Wednesday left in place for now state and local laws in Illinois that ban assault-style weapons, turning down a request to block the restrictions as the nation again finds itself grappling with a slew of recent mass shootings.

The brief, unsigned order from the high court rejects an application for emergency relief sought by a gun rights group and gun store owner who argued that the Illinois law and a Naperville ordinance violated their Second Amendment rights. There were no noted dissents.


Unexpected but not unwelcome.

Lovely fantasy, but out of 100 Texans at random, only 2 are gun owners, of course they own 300 guns between them.


Is that a a wild guess or...? Because it's only off by a factor of 17.

35.7%, not 2%, and this figure or close to showed up in other reliable sources.

I have a friend who has a photosensitivity reaction if he eats celery and gets exposed to the UV rays of the sun. He gets blisters on his face, arms or anything exposed to the sun for more than 30 minutes.

Celery Allergy, Symptoms, and How to Treat It?
Celery root is one of the most common causes of food allergies in pollen-sensitive individuals. As well as celery, carrot, coriander, dill, and parsley are all members of the Umbelliferae family. All over the world, this plant is called Apiumgraveolans.

...Overall, celery sensitization was observed in 6.8 percent of the general population in 2022.


Nice... learned something new today so thank you. :^) Umbelliferae is the same family as giant hogweed which has this phototoxicity to an extreme degree and is dangerous in many other respects as well. Did not know that celery was also a member and so even has a little bit of this effect.

Eastern European countries scramble after China gives Russia ‘permission’ to invade.


The Chinese government disassociated itself from that statement rather quickly. I'm torn between whether it was because he said the unspoken quiet part out loud, or failed to notice that "ex-Soviet Union countries don't exist" includes, well... Russia. :^)

Tucker Carlson appears to be leaving Fox News

Fox News said Monday that it was parting ways with Tucker Carlson, its most popular prime time host who was also the source of repeated controversies and headaches for the network because of his statements on everything from race relations to L.G.B.T.Q. rights.

The network made the announcement less than a week after it agreed to pay $787.5 million in a defamation lawsuit in which Mr. Carlson’s show, one of the highest rated on Fox, figured prominently for its role in spreading misinformation after the 2020 election.

In making its announcement, Fox offered a terse statement of gratitude. “Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” it said.

Twitter has started removing the blue "verified" checkmark from all accounts that are not subscribed to Twitter Blue including those of celebrities and legitimate organizations. This has resulted in a large increase in scam accounts as they can't be distinguished from the genuine as neither have the verified mark.

Twitter is down to less than half its previous valuation so I'm hoping that Elmu will decide to cut his losses and step aside, handing the reins to someone competent.
