Delusional Donny scores yet another loss to add to his losers tally. Judge Chutkan Unseals Mountain of Donald Trump Evidence From Jack Smith. Attorney General Bill Barr told Donald Trump that his claims of election fraud were "crazy," newly released prosecution documents show.It should be an interesting read. |

I hope that those girls get to enjoy all those things. Giuliani Has 7 Days To Surrender His Apartment. Then there's Donny's pet judge. Aileen Cannon Being Considered as Donald Trump's AG Sparks Fury: 'Insane'. The U.S. will be in crooked delusional hands and in big trouble if Donny gets back in. |

It's very concerning to learn the following from highly placed officials in the Trump administration, who worked directly with him: Trump is reported to have repeatedly praised Adolph Hitler as having done 'good things'. He also expressed the desire to have generals under his command like Hitler's generals; pretty clearly meaning: loyal to him, personally, not to the Constitution of the United States of America. When I reflect on the sacrifices, including the ultimate one, which so many made in World War II to stop fascism, I realize what a bizarre figure Trump is, and what perilous times we are living in. |

We've known this about him since 1990 when Ivana Trump (who was married to him until that year) indicated that he kept a copy of Mein Kampf or My New Order on his nightstand... "It was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew." Source I notice in his manner and bearing though that he seems to have studied, and emulated, Mussolini far more. |

This really does put Trump into a very real context: BRUTAL Trump dementia ad suggests HORRIFYING reality ... And yet, that really is the reality of Trump. And note that Trump really has said, in public, on TV, at rallies, all of those crazy things... Only in the USA?...

The fallout from Trump’s NYC rally continues. ‘He’ll lose it for us’: Donald Trump voters panicking. It’s the final days of the US election campaign and the momentum would appear to be with Donald Trump.And this idiot should've known better, if he had at least half a brain to use. An Aussie dad who sported a MAGA cap to a pub in Brisbane has been left stunned by the reaction to the item of clothing. An Aussie dad claims to have been shocked when he was asked to leave a proud LGBTQIA+ Brisbane pub for wearing a Donald Trump hat, with staff telling him he was “not welcome” in the establishment.Luckily he had his wife and daughter with him as there could've been a big pile on happening with him being on the bottom of it. |

In response, Davis is quoted as saying he did give his friend a book about Hitler, but that it was actually My New Order A Collection of Speeches not Mein Kampf.It is disgusting what he bases his thinking on. It reveals an immoral, historically uninformed narcissist who admires the diabolic genius of fascist despots to create mass movements of ardent followers to ruthlessly push evil goals. But studying Hitler's or Mussolini's phrasing or manners to gather supporters and convince voters does not make Trump another Hitler. What I think is more serious: Trump clearly has an affinity to Putin; or rather is forced to submit to Putin's will. A President of the U.S. must never be a submissive tool of Moscow. Any such candidate is ineligible. Ronald Reagan exaggerated the USSR as the "Evil Empire". It was ruled by three factions: heads of state-run big industry, omnipresent KGB, and the Communist Party (CPSU). Neither faction had absolute power; some kind of "checks and balances"; autocratic, but post-Stalin no longer despotic. Reagan destroyed the USSR's economy; won the Cold War. The crisis led Boris Yeltsin to destroy the CPSU; a failed coup ended the existence of the union state. The KGB survived essentially unchanged; no revolution destroyed its structures unlike in most other Eastern-bloc dominions. For a century the feared Chekists improved their skills and methods to spy out and blackmail people, to infiltrate groups; to control and subdue whole societies... to hide the truth, destroy evidence; and establish an alternative truth instead. It should not be forgotten that WWII was initiated by Hitler AND Stalin; to divide and subdue most European nations. Nazis were defeated, the USSR ultimately among the victors; their claimed superiority recognized; its expansion-oriented, violent mindset still intact. Putin, the former 'FSB' a.k.a. 'KGB' chief, rehabilitated Stalin; a 2nd time covered up all his genocidal crimes and formed a true "Evil Empire". Trump and Putin... that scares me... not Trump's passion for fascists of the past. Ohhh... if I would look at Putin as a modern-day fascist... |

Donny's pillow buddy only has himself to blame for the position that he's in. My Pillow's Mike Lindell Sues Lenders, Alleges 'Loan Sharking' Terms. My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell has filed a lawsuit accusing several financing companies of exploiting his business through a high-interest $600,000 loan, alleging the lenders employed "loan sharking" tactics.It just goes to show that lenders realise how much of a liability he really is. |

Delusional Donny just can't stop sprouting hate, vengeance and violent rhetoric. Trump's Latest Liz Cheney Remarks Spark Fury from His Former Aides. Trump's comments about Liz Cheney made during a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday in Arizona sparked backlash from some of his former administration aides who found the rhetoric "dangerous and escalatory."Which has erupted into a pile on with this result. Trump's Liz Cheney Remarks Probed by AG as Possible 'Death Threat'. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes on Friday said her office is investigating whether former President Donald Trump's remarks about former Wyoming Liz Cheney having "guns trained on her face" broke the law. |

Tickling his own petard???!!! On stage, in public, for his closing act?!!! Definitely stinky after being fondled by his sweaty hands! Completely not befitting any country let alone the great USA...

Sitting at the pub tonight listening to an obvious Rump supporter calling him a liar, a felon, a expletive (pile of crap) and many other terrible things, then spouting his lines about the economy tanking under Biden (look up GDP and national debt if you want real information). They were still going to vote for him. The line, you can have your own opinion, but there is only one set of facts. That pile of crap - and he is worse than most can imagine - has brainwashed about 1/2 the country into the belief of false facts. |

An American acquaintance of mine, hates Trump but is not ready to vote for a mixed race woman. Lives in Florida so says his vote won't matter, so might as well vote for Trump!! |

I don't think that this can only be attributed to Trump. There is a broad political movement behind him that supposedly started with the Tea Party movement within the GOP. A bad-informed, raging grassroots resistance against those at the top, against the federal government (perceived as intrusive), excessive government spending... If Trump weren't their candidate, it would be someone else with a similar world view. Well, Trump's self-obsession, repulsive lack of character; his immoral actions and speeches are unique and disgusting... His fierce 'supporters' who are attracted to this kind of dirty politcal debate, who actively advocate on the streets (or storming Capitol on Jan 6), seem just as repulsive. Would someone else than Trump, e.g. Vivek Ramaswamy; a candidate who might appear more civilized and credible, who doesn't obviously lie every minute, might even win more votes with a landslide victory? Only to push the same policies as Trump intends... against all resistance and advice (that what in former decades constituted 'conservatism': resistance to too far-reaching changes in too short a time) Maybe I'm completely wrong. |

Sitting at the pub tonight listening to an obvious Rump supporter calling him a liar, a felon, a expletive (pile of crap) and many other terrible things, then spouting his lines about the economy tanking under Biden (look up GDP and national debt if you want real information). They were still going to vote for him. I couldn't agree more. I read news, or at least what is said to be news from every source I find, and not only is Trump spreading misinformation, so is right wing media. Yes, left wing news outlets spread misinformation, but the magnitude is light years apart. On the right, I see extreme gerrymandering, voter suppression, and outright lies to gain or hold onto power. This can't be justified regardless of policies. What I see as a huge problem, is that the policies on the right don't solve anything, other than make life for everyday people harder. I see pure ideologies as traps, whether they are political, religious, or other. Solutions often lie in a mix of ideologies. The free market is a good thing, but it doesn't always work. Health care, education, and even the military are examples of where the solutions lie in a more social system. The US healthcare system a a rotten mess, and is the most expensive in the world. It is filled with complex, nonsensical insurance options, that vary from state to state, and from company to company. You need a PHD is horse excrement to even begin to understand the ridiculous system we have, which no other country should ever emulate. Anyway, today I will vote, and it won't be for anyone who lies, cheats, and projects those traits on their political opponents. I will vote for solutions to existing problems, not evil rhetoric. The Chips act, In Inflation Reduction Act, and the Infrastructure package went a long way to actually solving problems, and even the suggested repeal of the Chips Act from the Speaker of the House were rebuffed by another GOP Congressman because it was helping his constituents so much. These policies were long overdue, and still not enough. I have seen first hand what happens if things are allowed to decay. Whether it is your house, your company, your town, your state, your country, or your planet. Things don't fix themselves. It takes actual work, and money to make things happen. Giving tax cuts to the wealthiest individuals does nothing to solve any of these problems. Removing lead pipes, rebuilding bridges and roads, ensuring clean air, and reducing greenhouse gasses do solve problems. I guess I'm done ranting for the moment.

I am glad they are an "acquaintance" rather than a "friend". Even disregarding the overt sexism and racism of their observation, Florida went to Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 so a vote there certainly does matter. Hope... fading..... :^p I'm avoiding all news today and tomorrow both internet and TV. May have to stay away from here too. |

Whatever next for the USA? And this is why I usually don't make predictions... they don't work out well. :^p Donald Trump has been confirmed to be re-elected as the 47th POTUS capturing 276 electoral votes (270 required) so far, and also winning the total/popular vote 51% to 47.7% at current count. By doing so, he becomes only the second POTUS to win two non-consecutive terms, with the only other being Grover Cleveland in 1892. The GOP also flipped two Senate seats and now have Senate control with 51. The House is still in contention. |
