Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 04 Dec 25 - 07:32 AM Will the double-tap scandal lead to murder or war crime indictments? I doubt it. The military may have rules of engagement, but enforcement is as rare as the Nuremberg trials. When we would bomb marriage parties supposedly by mistake, no one was ever held accountable. When we bombed non military targets, burn orders were simply made to cover up. Some were so huge like Dresden, it was too big to hide. But still accountability was lost. It has been established that innocent civilians are merely collateral damage. The Geneva Convention is but a wishful humane decoration. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 03 Dec 25 - 08:07 AM Peter Thiel is a key investor in Nucleus Genomics, which screens IVF blastocysts for genetic diseases, height, intelligence, and other factors, which allows prospective parents to pick and choose specific traits for their babies. Some institutions say this process is moving too fast. What is certain is that the economics, thirty thousand dollars per IVF screening of 40 fertilized eggs, will favor the wealthy. Being voluntary distinguishes this from the early attempts of ignorant eugenics. The future is brave and has more certainty for the wealthy. https://mynucleus.com/ |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Raggytash Date: 02 Dec 25 - 04:37 PM Really! A self centred narcistic individual with little, or no talent, a grossly inflated opinion of their own worth? I think you may have that already. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Helen Date: 02 Dec 25 - 02:27 PM Yes! Miss Piggy for President! I always admired her strength and determination. I have another idea: "Trump's epic fails", e.g no peace prize, demolished East Wing, unprovoked and unlawful attacks on Venezuelan boats, cutting funds to aid organisations, increasing cost of living and medical costs, losing ground on polls (even Fox News polls - who could have predicted that?!), landslide Democrat victories in 2025 elections...I could go on and on. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 02 Dec 25 - 01:46 PM She's a much better role model than any of the human participants in that government. Too many people and institutions treat Trump unlike they would any other political figure. They normalize his bad behavior. Until that is remedied, a solution may evade us. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Helen Date: 02 Dec 25 - 01:10 PM I watched a recent Late Show with Stephen Colbert where a short clip showed Miss Piggy and her famous karate chop responding to Trump calling a female journalist "Piggy". Maybe "Miss Piggy for President" could be part of the title of the next Trump thread. Just joking! LOL |

Subject: RE: Of ICE and Men From: Donuel Date: 02 Dec 25 - 06:35 AM It is clearly understood that the President and his minions are monsters. Words have done their job. What matters now is like our final judgment; It's not about what you thought, it's about what you did. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Helen Date: 01 Dec 25 - 08:15 PM SRS, where do we start? Hubby sent me an image of Trump, Vance & Hegseth, all scowling, standing next to each other. The tagline was "perineum" which I had to look up. It's an anatomical term for the area adjacent to the anus. I sent Hubby a reply that "perinea" refers to more than one, because I couldn't see that any one of them was worse than the other. Sorry! That's not appropriate for this civilised forum! :-D Actually none of my other initial ideas are any more polite. The next word to come to my mind was $hit$h0w. I'll shut up now. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 01 Dec 25 - 07:36 PM With about 70 posts left on this thread before we need to start another, it's time to consider what scandal to append to the "Convicted felon US 47 Pres" name on the thread. What's hot these days? Hegseth bombing survivors of the illegal bombing of ships in the Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean? The obnoxious Ballroom? His continuing mental deterioration? Something else? |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 01 Dec 25 - 11:00 AM Former US Secy of Labor Robert Reich sends out some good stuff. Here he shared some good journalism in action, an opinion from Edward R. Murrow about McCarthy (who pales in his horribleness compared to Trump and his "cabinet"). |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 29 Nov 25 - 07:27 AM European history includes how the Nazis exacted retribution for a fallen Nazi by executing hundreds of Italians. Slavic country citizens were executed by the thousands. Eventually, it became millions of industrial executions. At an astronomical financial cost, Trump is just beginning to murder or jail people outside the US to life in prison. Words are the mechanism of control, but so is retribution. Orwell demonstrated how to assign villain and hero status. Dictators practice it. Trump wants to provoke violence by putting troops on the streets, hoping something will happen to justify military 'justice'. You might say I'm being too harsh, and Trump is being reserved, fair, and balanced since his executions are mostly in international waters. For total dictatorship, the right is moving faster than they should for sustainability. This is a weakness for fascist strategy. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Aethelric Date: 28 Nov 25 - 03:18 PM I don't know enough about American history to know if this abuse of power has happened before. But I think something needs to be done to stop it happening again. There could be worse in the future. The UK system has lots of problems, but when our moron (Liz Truss) became prime minister she only lasted 44 days. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Nov 25 - 02:10 PM Yes, the way Trump used one mentally disturbed man's act to blame everyone who has arrived from Afghanistan is typical of the idiot. Not called for, but who will stop him? |
|
Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Aethelric Date: 28 Nov 25 - 01:43 PM There are around 180,000 Afghan refugees in the US, and one seems to have gone rogue. That is 0.0006% . So Trump is attacking them all. There are around 1000 billionaires in the US and one (Epstein) has been proven to be a paedophile. Thats 0.1% (Maybe more soon). Will Trump have a go at them next? |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Helen Date: 27 Nov 25 - 04:28 PM Yes, you are right, pattyClink, but it's all in the intention, I guess. At present there is a strong intention to bring US history onto a more healthy democratic future, so my vote goes for the people with good intentions. |
|
Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: pattyClink Date: 27 Nov 25 - 10:39 AM "Sheepdogging" can also mean working hard to round up stray voters with promises of real reform, then guiding them gently into the corral to vote for the same old corrupt party hacks, well occasionally a handsomer or more well-spoken or younger one. I hope that's not where all this courageous-looking leadership winds up. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Helen Date: 26 Nov 25 - 02:21 PM I posted this in another thread but it relates to this topic. "...take heart in seeing the people who are standing up for what they believe is right. My suggestion is to watch some sheepdog trials videos and see how a well-coordinated piece of group action can bring a rowdy mob under control - quietly, cleverly and with determination and skill." I have watched Stephen Colbert's interview of Senator Elizabeth Warren this week and Senator Mark Kelly and others recently. They are strong, determined people who will do everything in their power to try to fix the situation in the US and they will work with others to achieve that goal. When I was a union representative, working on behalf of the rights of other workers, I used the term "sheepdogging" when a group of us would work together, quietly, determinedly, strategically, dare I say doggedly, to achieve the best outcomes. Group action can be very powerful and people at all levels can work together to achieve the goals. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 26 Nov 25 - 01:55 PM The feeble engines of despotism will be choked into seizure by the sugar of non-violence, sacrifice, and courage. For the next three years, we will live one day at a time, taking back Constitutional authority and Justice. Some souls need to be tried before a jury of their peers because there is no one above the law in America. For some, the time will be long, and for others, it shall be short. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Aethelric Date: 26 Nov 25 - 11:53 AM Trump says "our Country is RESPECTED AGAIN all over the World, respected like never before." The USA is respected the way you'd respect a naughty nine year old pointing a machine gun at you. If it were not for the fear of reprisals, the USA would be a laughing stock. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 25 Nov 25 - 07:08 AM Poor miserable Trump does not know how to be a lame duck and demands his Congress support illegal orders and asks his minions to lynch an American hero astronaut. Leading the Republican House members who will not run again is Taylor Green. More will follow. He has to align himself with the mayor of NYC, hoping to steal his affordability thunder. Poor miserable Trump tries to pull a Putin but his hitmen are unreliable and splintered. When he calls everyone a traitor, including the most strident MAGAnaunts, loyalty fades. His venture into painful obscurity will not resemble Joseph McCarthy; instead, he will die surrounded by everything gilded in gold like the one-trick pony that he is. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 24 Nov 25 - 11:14 AM With a scientologist like RFK in charge of scientific vaccines for hemorrhagic fevers, we'd better hope to dodge microscopic bullets. Worse yet would be a fungal pandemic since we have few remedies compared to viral or bacterial infections. RFK reminds me of a 2016 TV series 'Braindead' that involved brainworms that caused Congressmen to become radically conservative. It was supposed to run for 4 years but was suddenly canceled. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 24 Nov 25 - 06:03 AM MAGA Nation on X, and many Truth Social members are bots or agents outside the USA. It would stand to reason that some of these may be responsible for death threats against the Trump selected enemies. X claims they are in the process of blocking foreign agents. The kind of people who enjoy making death threats are addicted to the delusion of power, but are appreciated by Donald. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Helen Date: 23 Nov 25 - 05:36 PM Some good news: DOGE no longer exists, White House says, after Musk departure "In short: The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) "doesn't exist", a US government spokesperson says, "The department, established by Donald Trump and once headed up by Elon Musk, promised to slash billions from the US government but has quietly faded into the background in recent months. "What's next? Many of those involved in DOGE have moved into other roles within the US government." ... "Trump administration quietly drops DOGE initiatives "DOGE claimed to have slashed tens of billions of dollars in expenditures, but it was impossible for outside financial experts to verify that because the unit did not provide detailed public accounting of its work. "President Trump was given a clear mandate to reduce waste, fraud and abuse across the federal government, and he continues to actively deliver on that commitment," said White House spokesperson Liz Huston in an email to Reuters. "Trump administration officials have not openly said that DOGE no longer exists, even after Mr Musk's public feud with Mr Trump in May. Mr Musk has since left Washington. "Mr Trump and his team have nevertheless signalled its demise in public since this summer, even though the US president signed an executive order earlier in his term decreeing that DOGE would last through July 2026." ... |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Helen Date: 21 Nov 25 - 01:19 PM I check the RealClear Polling compilation of Trump: Favorable/Unfavorable a number of other poll results fairly regularly. His unfavourability has been rising since his re-election this year and has spiked in the last couple of days. Look at the graph just below the latest set of figures at the top of the page. It makes me laugh that Fox News has the highest unfavourability rating in the latest figures. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Lighter Date: 21 Nov 25 - 12:47 PM BTW, sedition in the U.S. has never been legally "punishable by death." Oath Keepers and Proud Boys got long sentences for seditious conspiracy on 1/6, but the self-described "Nation's Chief Law-Enforcement Officer" pardoned them. |
|
Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 21 Nov 25 - 06:02 AM btw, quoting the Constitution is not a seditious crime punishable by DEATH. Without ignorant, violent, murderous psychopaths, Trump would be powerless. This shows the fragility of an autocrat. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: pattyClink Date: 20 Nov 25 - 10:40 PM The House could impeach Orange Julius daily from now on, but the Senate would not convict him, so it's a pointless exercisee. Nixon checked out of the White House only when enough Republicans had deserted his sinking ship, and leadership told him his support was down to 16-18 in the Senate. Apparently we are a long way from there, but I do wonder what the current count is. Goldwater & Company delivered the message |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 20 Nov 25 - 04:24 PM It would be nice to think that Trump has reached his high-water mark, as his approval rating is sinking to the 30s. There is still immense damage he can do. People like me suspect he will try to boost his approval as a war president, but Venezuela may not be what he wants. China would defeat Trump by shutting down our most vulnerable hackable infrastructure. Sorry Taiwan, Trump will not save you. Don't mention 'his' nukes. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Helen Date: 20 Nov 25 - 03:54 PM I'm curious. Does Trump proposing the death penalty for Democrats who are urging the military to refuse illegal orders constitute an impeachable offence? How much more does he need to overstep the bounds of the Constitution before he is properly held to account? I see the sheepdogs rounding him up, tighter and tighter into the middle of the field, but it is going very slowly and there appears to be no clarity in the probable outcome. He could just as easily jump the fence and escape into the countryside. Hopefully the Epstein files will provide more power to the various sheepdogs. (Not so) Instant Karma will get him, one way or another, with or without human intervention. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Helen Date: 20 Nov 25 - 01:37 PM Good article, SRS. Every voice and every action of protest helps. Meanwhile, some Democrats are making a stand in defence of the US Constitution: Trump floats death penalty for Democrats urging military to refuse illegal orders "US President Donald Trump says six Democratic politicians, all of whom are veterans, have committed seditious behaviour punishable by death after they urged members of the military not to obey unlawful orders. "In a video posted on X, the Democratic politicians urge current members of the US military and spy agencies to refuse illegal orders and to defend the constitution. "The video was posted by Senator Elissa Slotkin, a former CIA officer, on November 18 and has so far been viewed more than 12 million times. "On his Truth Social page, Mr Trump responded by saying 'this is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country'. "'Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???' "'SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!' "Mr Trump also reposted a number of comments on his page about the video, including one calling for the politicians to be hanged. Some Democrats were quick to condemn the president's posts, with Senator Chris Coons urging Republicans to 'swiftly condemn this'. "'The administration should never try to force our servicemembers to carry out an illegal order,' he said. "'Calling for the execution of senators and Congressmembers for reminding our troops of that is chilling behavior.'" ... "In the video, they said: 'This administration is putting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens.' "'Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home,' they added. "'You can refuse illegal orders,' Senator Kelly said." ... |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Nov 25 - 12:30 PM Citizens around the country are figuring out ways to monitor what ICE is doing, and compelling them to move on and not grab people off of the street. I saw a story yesterday about training in South Carolina in various churches, sponsored by a group that was founded in 2017 in the first Trump administration. They were prescient, knowing the day would come when these forms of civil disobedience and peaceful resistance would be necessary. From Mother Jones, here's a guy on a scooter in Baltimore doing important work. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 18 Nov 25 - 11:24 PM Since so many businesses have complied in advance and rolled over, dumping their DEI programs, and are (in the case of Home Depot here) letting ICE agents come onto the property and abduct casual workers on site, boycotts are underway. Here is a gift article about the upcoming boycott that will hit Home Depot. In addition to the groups mentioned, the Peoples Union USA is trying to get all of these groups to act in concert so they all do their boycotts at the same time to inflict more damage. Fort Worth Star Telegram article about massive boycott from holiday shoppers. Will Trump notice? Probably not. But a lot of his followers will, and companies suffering the income losses will hopefully clean up their acts and push back about these policies. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Helen Date: 18 Nov 25 - 03:20 PM Hubby sent me a satirical image: “Satirical Wildlife Guide: The North American Trump” Further info: Anus tangerinus "Anus tangerinus "The Common North American Trump (Anus Tangerinus), known commonly by the locals as an Orange Arsehole is a large animal, tall but bulbous in the middle with oddly coloured tangerine skin. A wafty wispy plume of light orange hair adorns its head. This plumage has for years intrigued scientists, hair dressers and bloggers alike. No one can agree on its purpose, what it hides, what it signifies or indeed how evolution saw fit to make it that way. The only Anus tangerinus in captivity can be seen at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. It generally comes out of its enclosure once or twice a day. When threatened, Anus tangerinus emits hostile tweets. "The Anus tangerinus generally lives in large white abodes that it fights over with rivals every 4 years." by Jumbled McGobbledygook December 9, 2020 |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 17 Nov 25 - 08:51 AM My upbringing and reality are slightly different from many here because starting at age 3, I was among survivors of the Nazi holocaust and saw with my eyes the video of the crimes against humanity at age 5 when Eisenhower broadcast Nazi camp films on TV. My first association with what bulldozers can push is different from yours. What is normal about America today includes regular school shootings and a growing criminalization of millions of people who support ICE and their capture, shackling, shaving, and torturing of many immigrants and a few citizens. In Nazi Germany, the criminals achieved a majority. In America, people are becoming accustomed to billionaires who are not equal under the law. Where we could be heading is worse than the Third Reich in its longevity and severity. What is not taught is not merely forgotten. A man who tightens a bolt in a car assembly line is said to build cars. A MAGA follower posting a meager death threat is supporting a vast death machine. Culpability is even accomplished with silence. |
