We're getting close to the 700th post on the most recent iteration of these one-US politics-threads at a time so I'll start this now while I'm thinking of it. Convicted felon US 47 Pres / Thiel coup 3 has some good links in it and has moved along with the times. The Epstein Papers are due to be released today, in which more of his misdeeds will no doubt be shown and nothing done about them and may cause a flurry of discussion.

Meanwhile, a movement from the People's Union is urging people to not give him the attention he craves. Don't re-tweet or share his demented words, don't share photos, don't write the name of the 45/47 pres. That works for me, as I continue to turn off the news if they talk about him or play his voice.

The other thread will be closed because if it goes over 700 it will drop into the zone that offers a message about the thread being too long and now being worked on, etc.

Thanks SRS!

And thanks also to BWM for posting the full article and the link to it on 19 Dec 25 - 05:58 AM "From Mary Geddry on Substack, commenting on the Pulitzer Prize Board’s response to being sued by the Fat, Orange Baboon."

Before reading the article I wondered what He-Who-Is-Unnamed (HWIU) had to do with the Pulitzer Prize. Ok, got it! Now I am wondering why it is so unusual - in these crazy times - for a defendant to ask for complete documentary proof that harm has been caused in relation to the accusations and also why the other cases HWIU has generated haven't resorted to the same strategy. A glimmer of hope for the future.

And oh, wouldn't it be great to see him reveal all of his dark, hidden secrets like his long-hidden tax returns, his medical records, etc!

No he is more likely to duck for cover than stand his ground. That will be fun to watch too.

Is he expecting to be publicly assassinated like John F Kennedy?
He added these large letters 'Donald Trump and' John F Kennedy Memorial to the building.

Monsanto invented aspartame. If Diet Coke ever reaches 100°F, it forms formaldehyde.
Airline pilots are fined for drinking it since it effects vision.
Monsanto has since sold the patent.

Also Donuel, see if you can find the episode of Mythbusters where they figure out that aspartame in Diet Coke etc is one of the key ingredients in making it go up in the air like a canon when Mentos are dropped in it. LOL

From Wiki

"Aspartame was discovered by accident in 1965 by James M. Schlatter, a chemist working for G.D. Searle & Company in Skokie, Illinois. Schlatter had synthesized aspartame as an intermediate step in generating a tetrapeptide of the hormone gastrin, for use in assessing an anti-ulcer drug candidate.[59] He discovered its sweet taste when he licked his finger, which had become contaminated with aspartame, to lift up a piece of paper.[11][60] Torunn Atteraas Garin participated in the development of aspartame as an artificial sweetener.[61]"
NutraSweet Company



"In 1985, Monsanto bought G.D. Searle,[70] and the aspartame business became a separate Monsanto subsidiary, NutraSweet. In March 2000, Monsanto sold it to J.W. Childs Associates Equity Partners II L.P.[71][72] European use patents on aspartame expired beginning in 1987, with the US patent following suit in 1992.[73]"

You just triggered a memory, Raggy. Anyone ever see the film "Skokie"? Really good TV movie featuring Danny Kaye as Max Feldman, standing up to a Neo-Nazi rally. A good lesson to be learned from it today!

From thhe Wiki entry -

The Jewish community decides to stand against the rally at all costs to make sure that the Holocaust will never be forgotten or allowed to happen again.

Moderate leaders Bert Silverman and Abbot Rosen advise the Jewish community to ignore the neo-Nazis; the strategy they put forward is "quarantine", isolating the meeting by totally ignoring the neo-Nazi presence and refusing to be provoked. They see their logic as simple: if the Jewish community refuses to acknowledge the rally and thus refuses to feed the media any publicity, the meeting will be futile and eventually forgotten.

However, one citizen challenges their argument. A Holocaust survivor, Max Feldman, says that he was told to ignore the Nazis nearly 40 years ago in Germany, and before he knew it he was in a concentration camp. He says this time he will take action, and he is ready to shed blood if necessary. Led by this de facto spokesman, most members of the community agree to protest.

Off and running in many directions, I see!

I've started reading the satirist Andy Borowitz's Profiles in Ignorance: How America's Politicians Got Dumb and Dumber. In the introduction he discusses the subjects of the book, with a few paragraphs I'll share here.

To believe that Trump's presidency came out of nowhere, without warning, is the political version of creationism. I, on the other hand, believe in devolution. The election of a serially bankrupt, functionally illiterate reality TV host was the logical consequence of the five decades preceding it, which, with apologies to Edith Wharton, I'll call the Age of Ignorance. How did the bar for our political figures fall so far? To better Understand this heinous half century, I've divided it into the Three Stages of Ignorance: Ridicule, Acceptance, and Celebration.

During the Ridicule stage, ignorance was a magnet for mockery, a serious flaw that could kill a political career. Consequently, dumb politicians pretend to be smart. I'll profile two politicians who navigated this perilous stage with radically different outcomes: Ronald Reagan, whose gift as a TV performer helped hide his cluelessness, and Dan Quayle, who shared Reagan's cluelessness but not his knack for hiding it.

During the Acceptance stage, ignorance mutated into something more agreeable: a sign that a politician was authentic, down-to-earth, and a "normal person." Consequently, dumb politicians felt free to appear dumb. In this stage, I'll profile George W. Bush, who made ignorance his brand, and Sarah Palin, who made it her business model.

Finally, during the Celebration stage—the ordeal we're enduring right now—ignorance has become preferable to knowledge, dunces are exalted over experts, and a candidate can win a seat in Congress after blaming wildfires on Jewish space lasers. Being ill-informed is now a litmus test; consequently smart politicians must pretend to be dumb. I'll profile the ultimate embodiment of this stage, Donald J. Trump, and Trump wannabes such as Ted Cruz and Ron DeSantis—who, despite being graduates of our nation's finest universities, strenuously try to outdumb him. . . . while Democratic dopes have wreaked their share of havoc, the scale of their destruction doesn't equal that of their Republican counterparts. Once Democrats gin up a two-trillion-dollar war to find nonexistent weapons of mass destruction, ignore and then politicize a virus that causes nearly a million needless deaths, and attempt a violent overthrow of the U.S. government, I'll get cracking on a book about them.
