Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Helen Date: 04 Nov 23 - 03:34 PM Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, is set to appear at his New York fraud trial, and her evidence could be key It's a long article but the headline on the news page list is: "Ivanka Trump tried and failed to avoid a court date. It could lead to big problems for her dad" "Glenn Kirschner, a legal commentator who worked as a federal prosecutor for 30 years, says her efforts to avoid appearing could be a 'red flag' for the family. "'I do think she represents the kind of danger to other Trump family members that perhaps the sons do not represent,' he told the ABC. .... "Last year, she agreed to be interviewed by the congressional committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riots, giving testimony for eight hours. “'She clearly, at least in the clips we saw, was unwilling to parrot or to mimic her father's lies,' Mr Kirschner says. "In one of those clips, Ivanka said she accepted former attorney-general Bill Barr's conclusion that the 2020 election result wasn't affected by fraud. "'What does that tell us? It tells us that she is not afraid to push back against her father,' Mr Kirschner says. "'Might we see her sort of take a similar tack in this civil trial?' "Another Donald Trump critic — his estranged and outspoken niece Mary Trump — is confident she will, saying: 'She's just going to tell the truth and throw him under the bus.'" |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Helen Date: 05 Nov 23 - 12:03 PM Lighter said, "Today's CNN/NYT poll shows Trump leading Biden by several points in most swing states." If you look at it a bit differently, the poll could simply show the preferred party, Republican v. Democrats. At present, Trump is presumed to be the nominated candidate for the Reps but it might not happen. Meanwhile, voters could simply be choosing between the parties. Unfortunately, whichever party is currently in power is often not the preferred party in polling results, i.e. the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Personally, I think the big decider will be if Trump goes to prison. When it's decision time, hopefully a significant chunk of the voters will say they don't want a convicted criminal running the country. It's all what-ifs at present. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Helen Date: 08 Nov 23 - 12:02 PM An interesting article: Insulting a judge might seem like a strange strategy, but Donald Trump had a bigger plan for his day in court IMHO, it is also worth looking at because of the first two images: the court illustration showing Trump doing the accordion fingers, and the photo in which he clearly looks stressed and/or worried, where for the majority of the rest of his life everything is like water off a duck's back to him due to his massive belief in himself. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Helen Date: 19 Nov 23 - 05:01 PM Yes, SRS you are right. I just wonder if giving him freedom of speech might provide the final kick to get him into prison. Give him enough rope .... |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Donuel Date: 03 Nov 23 - 06:44 AM A quasi-religious dark horse like Gen. Flynn stands a better chance if Trump is unable to run than any of the announced candidates, in my opinion. Like being late to sell your product for Christmas even Democratic challengers to Biden may be too late causing more harm than good and losing market share. Who politically survives is still an open-ended question. I don't know if adding open antisemitism puts Republicans over the top or if Democrats will be the winning voice of reason. I am simply hopeful there are more healthy citizens than sick ones. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Donuel Date: 03 Nov 23 - 05:42 PM IT WILL NOT BE THE CASE THAT TRUMP WILL APPEAR ON SOME STATE BALLOTTS AND NOT OTHERS. Colorado and Minnesota are currently using section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution to remove Trump from the ballot because he committed insurrection against the Constitution and gave aid to other insurrectionists. The State cases will conclude BUT THE SUPREME COURT will then decide for all STATES. What is insurrection against the Constitution? It is violating the executive vestment that a President will serve a 4 year term IF he is elected or re-elected. (It does not involve the storming of the Capitol or any other modus Operandi of insurrection) Technically the Supreme Court could decide either way. |
|
Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Donuel Date: 03 Nov 23 - 06:22 PM A better lawyer might argue the insurrection against the Constitution was the obstruction of Congress from certifying the vote on Jan 6. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Donuel Date: 05 Nov 23 - 11:31 AM Could Trump be so krazy as to pull a Netanyahu and abolish or ignore the Supreme Court? The Justices must decide if they want to risk Trump telling them "You're FIRED". |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Donuel Date: 13 Nov 23 - 07:37 AM * He'll win. There's nothing we can do. I understand why that was said because a win will produce a cataclysm. Why? Because TRUMP VOWS TO ROOT OUT VERMIN in his second term. He said the vermin are Communists, Fascists, Marxists, etc. but you know he means his critics, Jews, Blacks, Democrats, and Immigrants. He has included some of his lawyers and Generals in the Vermin Roundup. He vows a new wall around camps intended for incarceration and mass deportation. So I ask... Are there any vermin here? |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Donuel Date: 13 Nov 23 - 09:19 AM I was one of the first that warned of this Nazi threat in which all the words and strategies of Trump come from Mussellini's black shirts and Hitler's brown shirts and Mein Kampf. Vermin and poisoning the blood of our country are verbatim propaganda phrases coming out of the mouth of Trump that were used in the 1930's. Country Club Republicans are still sleepwalking into the abyss. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Donuel Date: 19 Nov 23 - 08:02 AM I have personally seen the volume has been turned up to 10 on neo nazi and white Christian nationalist internet hate speech and propaganda, This makes Trump's personal protestations practically moot. The themes range from asking why Hitler got a bad rap or saying Hitler was a great leader who did a couple bad things, all the way to kill the Jews and vermin Democrats. Even non fascist web sites like Quora are being deluged by pro Hitler questions and answers. The younger population is most responsible for this explosion. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Donuel Date: 20 Nov 23 - 08:03 PM I just wonder if giving him freedom of speech might provide the final kick to get him into the White House again. As a former hypnotist, I know myths work, I know cults work. I know the bigger the social lie the more believable. The race myths work, the religious myths work, and even the internet troll lies work. It is reinforced by people's mistrust, fear, and a wanton need to know. Liars are often those who seek power over their target. Myths override the obvious fallacies. To stand against that evil requires a response that looks like defensiveness. When such lies appear here they are simply deleted or erroneously closed. The crime of lying is called perjury in Court. Very rarely are government leaders punished for lying. Short of armed conflict against the lie, is Art, literature and entertainment, The Enemy of the Liar is a truthful account of History. Once the truth tellers are criminalized, the battle is over for years, decades or centuries. |
|
Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Donuel Date: 20 Nov 23 - 08:19 PM The defense against the truth tellers is simple denial often combined with an alternative history of lies. What is the point of this obviousness? The truth you speak now can create a needful change while silence condemns everyone. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Donuel Date: 20 Nov 23 - 08:36 PM This is not a knee-jerk response but fear is the exact thing the Right wants you to feel to enforce a silence. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Stilly River Sage Date: 02 Nov 23 - 05:36 PM The editor on this wins the award for the best headline on the Internet today: Trump kid says the darnedest things: Donald Trump Jr. gives guarded, sometimes flip testimony at fraud trial For those outside the US, in the 1950s to early 70's there was a Canadian transplant to US TV named Art Linkletter who hosted The Linkletter Show on which he frequently interviewed small children. The line "Kids Say the Darndest Things" became the catchphrase for those interviews and turned into some books later. Here's some of it (introduced by the now disgraced comic-rapist Bill Cosby, who used the concept for his own show at one point). |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Nov 23 - 12:55 PM Robert Reich has it right, pointing out that any votes for "third parties" such as No Labels are a vote for Trump. And that No Labels is intended to do just that, it is funded by the foul supporters of Trump, trying to siphon off Biden votes. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Stilly River Sage Date: 05 Nov 23 - 12:41 PM The really scary part of all of this is that despite Trump's criminal charges and potential damage to the Constitution, there is a group of Democrats who are making a huge fuss about Biden's age. These two guys are a couple of years apart and Biden is a rational human being. And as a mature adult advancing into older age I find it rather offensive that the number is more important than the actual person, his health, his record, and his motivations. Trump will not just chew up the scenery if he is reelected. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 Nov 23 - 10:18 AM Trump doesn't have "half the electorate." Polls are untrustworthy and they never are particularly accurate regarding Biden. Only the ballot box counts. Trump has a lot of already elected people scared of him so they go along with him, but he's losing his grip on them and their constituents. His endorsed candidates didn't do so well in this Tuesday's mid-term election because they are on the wrong side of the abortion debate for the electorate they want to serve. He favors chaos, and the next test will be when the US government might shut down if the new Speaker can't herd all of the cats. Trump thinks it's great if the government shuts down. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Stilly River Sage Date: 13 Nov 23 - 11:25 AM Apparently his older sister retired federal judge Maryanne Trump Barry has died. Maryanne Trump Barry, a former federal judge who was an older sister of Donald J. Trump and served as both his protector and critic throughout their lives, has died. She was 86. The fact that Roy M. Cohn helped her get that position speaks volumes about the lack of ethics and the general criminal enterprise in which the family engaged. |

If there was ever an illustration of why a gag order must be in place, he just made the case. |

It needs to stop. He belongs in prison. Trump opened a Pandora's box that was simmering quietly but relatively under control. You're seeing the effect of his demagoguery. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Lighter Date: 03 Nov 23 - 09:01 AM Gnome, the BBC piece is pretty good, though I've never heard of Binkley or Johnson. Also, the article doesn't mention that Scott is the most outspokenly religious of the group and possibly even more anti-abortion than the rest. De Santis is also noted for insisting on business as usual in Florida during COVID. No masks needed, no nothing. He's even appointed a Surgeon General who's told Floridians not to get a COVID shot. Vivaswamy tries to be a mini-Trump in every way, including insults and inflammatory claims. As for spine and judgement in general, consider this. At the first debate they were asked whether they would support Trump if he were the nominee *and* convicted of one or more felonies. Everybody but Hutchinson and Christie (old-school Republicans, though both were cozy with Trump for two or three years) promised they would. Now *that's* scary. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Lighter Date: 12 Nov 23 - 07:48 AM Get this: Only 32% of voters say Biden has the mental sharpness and stamina to be president. But 54% say it about Trump. https://www.axios.com/2023/05/07/biden-trump-age-electionoll One reason: Trump's sycophantic cable "news" channels (not just FOX) that continually depict Biden as frail, weak, and "demented," while playing up Trump's supposed toughness, vigor, and brains. Also the fact that so many other Americans say they get their "news" from "social media." |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Steve Shaw Date: 06 Nov 23 - 06:16 AM Unfortunately, those Democrats that are refusing to close ranks happen to be right. Another year for Biden to increasingly show his age. More months of ructions and splits in the party over Israel. Split parties never win (unless you can conceal the splits, which is not happening). Put as brave a face as you like over those swing state polls but they are a great big red warning sign that Biden isn't the man. Nothing currently being thrown at Trump will (a) put him in jail, (b) reduce his popularity. Yeah, they're both old men, but one old man looks and sounds like an old man whilst the other looks like he hasn't changed much. Whether or not that sounds offensive to you or me isn't the point. It's all about what your electorate takes on board. We all like Biden and if I lived over there I'd campaign for him. But Trump has half the electorate in his pocket already and the arithmetic is all going in his favour. Unless you can get him over January 6, he's your next president, God help us. |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: Steve Shaw Date: 09 Nov 23 - 09:49 AM Sam Levine in today's Guardian: Hillary Clinton has compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler as she offered a blunt warning about the dangers of a second Trump presidency. Trump back in the White House, Clinton said during an appearance on ABC’s daytime talkshow The View on Wednesday, “would be the end of our country as we know it, and I don’t say that lightly”. The former first lady, senator and secretary of state said: “When I was secretary of state, I used to talk about ‘one and done’. What I meant by that is that people would get legitimately elected and then they would try to do away with elections, and do away with opposition, and do away with a free press.” Then Clinton added: “Hitler was duly elected. All of a sudden somebody with those tendencies, dictatorial, authoritarian tendencies, would be like ‘OK we’re gonna shut this down, we’re gonna throw these people in jail.’ And they didn’t usually telegraph that. Trump is telling us what he intends to do.” Clinton’s comments came days after a Washington Post report detailing how Trump is discussing how to use the justice department to investigate political rivals and former allies who have been critical of him should he return to the White House. He is also discussing invoking the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, which would allow him to use the US military domestically to quell protests and dissent, something he was talked out of by military leaders during his one-term presidency. Trump’s team is also preparing to staff a potential administration with more radical rightwing lawyers who are less likely to stymie efforts to get in his way as he pushes the bounds of presidential power, the New York Times reported... ...Clinton gave a clear warning. “Trump is telling us what he intends to do,” Clinton said on The View. “Take him at his word.” |

Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III From: keberoxu Date: 05 Nov 23 - 08:38 AM Just a random comment here: I limit my access to the ongoing news coverage to radio soundbites, selected newspaper articles. Don't do social media or television. When Trump became President seven years ago, I made a decision to avoid listening to the sound of his voice. So I was constantly switching the volume of the radio, to be sure I didn't hear Trump speaking. Yesterday I had the car radio on, and it was advertisement time. So on comes an advertisement for a local auto dealer, one who routinely uses humor in their advertisements. THe commercial had an imitation Donald Trump shilling for the dealer. I was truly startled by the leaden vocal delivery. I mean, I knew it must be bad, but never before now did I know that Trump speaking was THAT bad. |
