Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 Aug 25 - 04:48 PM I also posted this in the music of the Trump era thread, but it's a good one for here also: Came across this on YouTube, a link posted on FB by Janis Ian. When That Man is Dead And Gone was written by Irving Berlin in 1941 about Hitler, but it of course fits perfectly today. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: robomatic Date: 14 Aug 25 - 01:04 PM Tomorrow, Friday, the Ides of August 2025, is the day for Russia to make peace with Ukraine and get the current resident short selected for the Noleb Przie. TRMP and Putain are expected to be a couple miles away, but on military property, tomorrow for the bilateral summit from which nothing is to be expected. Saw a van labeled Youtube driving away from Starbucks and vaguely wondered it there would be a live podcast. We have a Republican Governor and our single Rep and one sycophant Senator and one Senator with a brain. Given the current miasma of extreme partisanship, I don't expect that last one to be invited. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 13 Aug 25 - 12:22 PM The only arrest by the occupying force in DC is a resident throwing a wrapped submarine sandwich at an FBI agent. The sub owner was charged with assault. I don't think the sandwich penetrated the bulletproof vest. When offering a sub to law enforcement, one should extend the sandwich on bended knee. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 13 Aug 25 - 06:32 AM Trump orders museums to reflect his view of American history. That includes removing Frederick Douglass' memoirs, MLK'd bible and 32 other race related items. Confederate statues are returning as well as Army base names being named after Confederates. Will General Custer win the battle of Little Big Horn? |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Helen Date: 13 Aug 25 - 03:21 AM Donald Trump's National Guard troop deployment tests limits of 150yo law "US President Donald Trump is pushing the bounds of military activity on American soil, but a 150-year-old law could spell trouble for his plans. "On Monday, Mr Trump said he was deploying the National Guard and taking over Washington, DC's police department to reduce crime in the nation's capital. "As hundreds of National Guard troops filed into Washington, DC on Tuesday, a judge thousands of miles away in California was hearing arguments about whether such an act violated federal law. "The three-day, no-jury trial is considering whether the Trump administration violated the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act when it mobilised the National Guard during protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles in June. "Experts say in both the California and Washington cases, there are clear limitations to the law's enforcement." ... |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 12 Aug 25 - 04:21 PM Washington DC is affectionately called Chocolate City, not out of racism but out of a recognition of a black majority. If Trump can cause enough black people to demonstrate against the military presence in DC he may put his troops to use by having a mass shooting. In his first term, he wanted to shoot demonstrators in the legs. He has plans to federalize other cities with black mayors. Trump does not have the legal authority to deploy National Guard troops in our cities beyond 30 days without congressional approval. So far, that hasn't stopped his performance in LA with his toy soldiers. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 11 Aug 25 - 08:41 AM Nigel, you are as sharp as ever. Methinks a prior diagnosis was BS. As for RFK who is not a doctor, scientist, has never done a clinical trial but has canceled funding for research in cancer, dementia, childhood disease, vaccines and the NIH budget. The RNA covid vaccine during the Trump term saved 4 million lives in the US alone. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 11 Aug 25 - 08:34 AM right on! another good article I read today - America will be the chief victim of Trump’s tariffs rampage The US economy will bear the brunt of the president’s destructive trade war Donald Trump has succeeded in forcing America’s democratic allies to their knees. His country must henceforth live with the invidious consequences of what he has done. “It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal,” to borrow a line from Henry Kissinger. Vladimir Putin has strung Trump along for six months without paying a price. China has turned the tables, forcing the White House to hand over Nvidia H20 chips in exchange for rare earth magnets that Trump should have thought about before launching his trade war. Didn’t the US treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, say China was playing with a “pair of twos”? Trump’s full viciousness is reserved for Canada, a Five-Eye and core NATO loyalist, so dependable that America can leave its entire northern border undefended. It is punished with 35pc tariffs, hit harder because it dares to differ on the Middle East, though the effects will ricochet straight back into the US economy. (read on) |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 11 Aug 25 - 06:16 AM a few extracts New chatbot on Trump’s Truth Social platform keeps contradicting him wasn’t stolen, tariffs aren’t boosting the stock market and Barack Obama is seen favorably. President Donald Trump and the new AI search tool on his social media network, Truth Social, don’t exactly see eye to eye. Truth Search AI contradicts the president by saying that tariffs are a tax on Americans, the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, and his family’s cryptocurrency investments pose a potential conflict of interest. Asked about Jan. 6, 2021, it said the “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol was violent and linked to Trump’s “baseless claims of widespread election fraud.” ... ... Artificial intelligence tools don’t always give the answers their owners might want or expect. ... ... The White House declined to comment. Trump Media spokeswoman Shannon Devine said: “With transparently asinine stories like this, Washington Post reporters indict themselves as irrelevant partisan hacks who will probably soon join the growing exodus of left-wing shills from the paper.” ... ... But the size of their disagreements suggests that, if the tool were a person, it may not last long as a Trump employee. Asked to name the best president, Truth Search AI said “recent public opinion polls show that Barack Obama holds the highest favorability among living U.S. presidents,” listing as its source a Fox News article from shortly after Trump’s second inauguration. The tool did note, however, that “conservative commentators” had often named Trump as the best. “Different groups and surveys prioritize different qualities,” it said. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 10 Aug 25 - 11:40 AM RFK keeps saying the CDC is a cesspool of fraud and lies. Now that a Trump antivaxer has shot up the CDC in Atlanta with assault weapons, RFK has yet to condemn the shooter. The Surgeon General has condemned RFK. Political violence is on the rise. Death threats are as common as dirt. Shootings and assaults are commonplace among Judges and Democratic politicians. With the wealth concentrated in the 1 percent and MAGA feeling incapable of punishment by the President, it will become worse. Trump uses the bloody ear photo inscribed with FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT to indicate to shoot back. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 10 Aug 25 - 10:54 AM As long as Congress passes no law, Trump's executive orders can all be reversed with a new President's executive order. You can't reverse the damage done as easily. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Lighter Date: 05 Aug 25 - 08:02 AM In 1986-87 President Ronald Reagan signed legislation granting amnesty to millions of law-abiding non-citizens who had entered the country illegally before 1982. Reagan and the Congress recognized just how vital these tax-paying workers are to the U.S. economy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Reform_and_Control_Act_of_1986 The important issue isn't the number of detention centers. It's who's being taken there, how, why, with what due process, and where they're being deported to afterward. The administration has opened all these issues t question. As for the "worst of the worst," suspected felons have been arrested, convicted, and deported all along as a matter of routine law enforcement. What's changed since 1987? |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 04 Aug 25 - 02:15 PM If you found that folks in the US didn’t want to talk about politics, despite being in the eye of the Trump storm, it is the result of the fear the average person or business person feels from the administration. This is similar to East Germany and Soviet methods of control. I have seen the same from folks around here. Folks either strongly condemn the dictator or they feign an agnostic opinion. If I go further and ask if they feel fear as part of their outlook is when they outright lie and claim they feel no fear whatsoever. Even fear itself is part of the Trump loyalty cult to be afraid of. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 02 Aug 25 - 09:22 AM The pathological narcissist feels clever, blinding people to reality. HOWEVER, criticism should not be blind either. If Trump does something successfully, even if it is as accidental as a blind squirrel finding a nut, it should be noted. This could prove to be quite a challenge. Being a kinder, gentler Hitler wouldn't qualify, but there has to be a success somewhere in the sewerage. One was the prediction that tariffs would cripple the economy by July 4th. That did not happen because tariffs were delayed several times. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 02 Aug 25 - 08:40 AM At this transitional time, hope is a slender branch that won't even cushion the fall of the climate into devastating extremes. Hope is the panning for gold in the toxic river of Styx. Hope is pinned beneath denial, and the silencing of science and research. Kamala claims the system is broken. The pathological narcissist feels clever, blinding people to reality because the victims and suckers are just meddlesome nothings from their perspective. Breaking the system down to the university's curriculum and diversity is underway. They say you can't cure stupid, nor can you create empathy in social psychopaths. They will cry their lies to their dying day. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Helen Date: 01 Aug 25 - 07:07 PM I just watched Kamala Harris on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. She is very inspirational, and she said some very proactive comments about how important it is for the people of America to stand up for what you believe in and not capitulate to threats. She also stressed the built-in strength of the democratic process and public service institutions and a hope that they will withstand the current attacks, if people and politicians don't capitulate. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 01 Aug 25 - 04:03 PM The sexual predator got some perks from the Trump folks. From the New York Times: The move, which was reported earlier by The New York Sun, came about a week after Ms. Maxwell was interviewed over two days about the Epstein case by Todd Blanche, the No. 2 official in the Justice Department and one of President Trump’s former lawyers. Family members of three of the Epstein victims responded ""President Trump has sent a clear message today: Pedophiles deserve preferential treatment and their victims do not matter."" Considering the ages of the young women Trump was thumping in Epstein's club or island or behind the scenes at the junior miss pageants he ran, this would seem to be true. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 01 Aug 25 - 07:21 AM I live in a country that demands a loyalty oath to believe in lies. I know the kind of trouble and controversy that speaking the truth can cause. However, I am not alone; I am merely in the minority. Perhaps blowback will change that. There is also the purity test against being off color, but the world of man can be a very dirty place. Posting in a category known as BS is ironic for the few truth tellers. Most of the things people are taught to believe are hyped bullshit. Religion, politics, and rewritten history are a few examples. Trump won because he was politically incorrect. Now we are paying the lying piper. Literally. |

"Their statement comes as Donald Trump faced pressure to make public documents from the federal investigations into Epstein, and his long-time girlfriend Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking in 2021. " What's next? A senior Trump administration official said no leniency for Maxwell was being considered or offered." |
