As for real issues, they have to be real to be real. Belief on the other hand trumps reason and fact. Its how religion works too.
For the most part your list is a collection of post-hypnotic suggestions that only serve Trump and his cronies.

As for his MAGA cronies, Trump is turning on many of them with extreme passion. Any dissent and he responds with threats and vows to blacklist the families, donors and friends of the RHINOS. This vindictive paranoid behavior is typical of Hitler, Stalin, and other dictators who go so far as to kill their own 'fiends', I mean friends.

Donuel, those are not the things my neighbors want either.

Except for "re-elected."

What they want is Trump. Many "dislike him personally," but "he did a lot of good things for this country," and they will vote for him enthusiastically in November.

Many don't "want" so much as "fear."

What they fear, in no particular order, includes:

Government seizure of firearms.

The government sending jobs to China and Mexico   

Illegal immigrants stealing jobs, smuggling drugs, killing Americans, voting Democrat, and getting free health care and welfare benefits while they slowly become the majority in what's left of the country.

Unelected "activist" judges who twist the law because they were appointed by Clinton, Obama, or Biden.

"Democrat wars" and support for Ukraine, which has nothing to do with us.

Biden and his "crime family" "selling us out" to China for millions in bribes.

Universities that teach atheism, lies, and Marxism.

The removal of statues of American heroes and the renaming of military bases in the South named for Confederate officers, who were just as patriotic as Union officers.

Kamala Harris becoming President.

Hunter Biden getting away with crime because he's a Biden.

Powerful elites who despise ordinary Americans.

Blue states with sanctuary cities and "blue juries."

Persecution of Christians.

The mainstream media that lie about conservatives and won't report the truth.

Federal meddling in our lives.

Regulatory agencies.

Time- and money-wasting sensitivity training.

Islamic terrorists coming from Mexico.

Muslims.

Immigrant kids who speak "strange languages" that "nobody knows" packing our schools and making teaching impossible.

Government and private censorship of MAGA speech.

Legalized abortion.

George Soros.

Laws and lawsuits that hamstring police.

The "Deep State."

The "administrative state."

School shootings that Democrats won't prevent by arming teachers.

Government health care that tells people what doctor they can see and what treatment they can get, and that takes taxpayer cash to treat and give free, overpriced drugs to alcoholics, dope addicts, and other freeloaders.

Dangerous vaccines that don't work anyway.

Doctors who shill for the crooked vaccine manufacturers.

A fascistic government "ordering" people to wear useless, harmful masks in a pandemic.

Climate-change "loons" who want to destroy business and industry and make everyone buy electric stoves and vehicles they don't want and can't afford.

A "weaponized" Justice Department "coming after" Americans for speaking out against the Biden "regime."

The highest crime rates in American history.

The highest taxes in American history.

The worst inflation in American history.

The collapsing American economy.

The "weak," "bumbling," "senile" "tyrant" "Crooked Joe" and his shadowy "handlers" who tell him what to do.

The Socialist "Squad."

Globalists.

Transsexuals.

Gay marriage and the destruction of the family.

Influential fools who teach that America is a Democrat democracy when it's "really" a Republican republic.

LGBTQ teachers "grooming" our kids.

Kids being taught they can choose their own gender.

Teachers telling white kids they and their families are racists responsible for slavery.

Teachers telling black kids they'll always be victims because America is fundamentally racist.

The "woke mob."

"Cancel culture."

The "weakness" and "wokeness" of our military.

Foreign countries "laughing at us" for our stupidity and weakness.

Membership in NATO, which costs us billions and will get us into war.

Biden's high gas prices.

Non-MAGA politicians, who are mostly crooked and un-American.

Elections carefully rigged against conservatives.

Hollywood pushing immorality on our kids.

The Big Lie that Biden won fair and square.

Judges who dismiss the proof that Biden cheated.

A rogue FBI and CIA spying on, framing, and imprisoning American patriots.

Liberal news that smears Trump by taking remarks "out of context" and/or not acknowledging he was "just being sarcastic."

Critical race theory.

BLM mobs burning cities like Portland while liberal mayors look the other way.

The replacement of truthful American history with Marxist Liberal lies and distortions.

The railroading by corrupt DAs and judges, under Biden's orders, of America's "true leader," Donald Trump.


Quite a list. Quite a collective nightmare. Everything in quotes is an actual quote. I have heard or read of every one of these fears from actual Trump supporters.

For MAGA voters these are, in varying degrees, the "real issues."

To assume a simple overview of these issues are irrelevant and should be expunged is myopic in my opinion, especially after it is decreed that no new Trump threads are allowed.

Bad news for Trump - a huge thorn in his side is returning to The Daily Show on the Comedy Central network for the rest of the campaign year. As mentioned above, Jon Stewart to return to ‘The Daily Show’ as a host and executive producer
“In our age of staggering hypocrisy and performative politics,” McCarthy added, “Jon is the perfect person to puncture the empty rhetoric and provide much-needed clarity with his brilliant wit.”

Stewart gained acclaim hosting “The Daily Show” for his sharp humor which was deployed to deliver stinging — and hilarious — monologues often aimed at exposing the hypocrisy of politicians.

With the 2024 election featuring Joe Biden and Donald Trump, Stewart is likely to have no shortage of material to work with. Stewart has been a strong critic of Trump and will undoubtedly use the platform to needle the former president.

Stewart’s return to the venerable show is sure to generate significant excitement and provide a much-needed jolt of buzz to boost the show, which has struggled to find its footing in recent times.

"Needle" is putting it mildly. Stewart's jabs connect when he targets Trump, and Trump hates it.

Much of the recent conflicting opinion squabble has been deleted; no one needs to resume the caustic tone that was featured a while back. This thread is mainly about Trump's trials and his campaign. Let's keep it that way.

Today the E. Jean Carroll trial resumes, with Carroll again set to testify. From the CNN update link this morning:
Lawyers for E. Jean Carroll have rested her case against Donald Trump in the civil trial to determine how much in damages, if any, he will have to pay the former magazine columnist for his 2019 defamatory statements following her sex assault allegations.

The plaintiffs called three witnesses including Carroll who testified last week while Donald Trump sat at the defense table making audible comments for which he was admonished by the judge.

Carroll is seeking at least $10 million in damages for the 2019 defamatory statements.

In a separate trial last year, a jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation similar statements he made in 2022. The jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages.

Meanwhile, Trump's attorney in the trail, Alina Habba, begged off of court this week because she felt sick, resulting in a trial postponement, only to turn up at a New Hampshire political event. A reporter who busted her for the stunt got kicked out of the NH event.

From my home in Oz, and with no real stake in the outcome except in relation to world politics, I'm going with Joe Biden's statement: let the voters decide.

I'm also inclined to think that there are possibly enough voters who are keeping their cards close to their chests with regards to Trump, and probably waiting to see the outcomes of the various legal trials he will have to get through. I think that those voters are more likely to judge him according to the outcomes of his legal battles and I really think there could be enough right-thinking people who would reject him as a president if he loses some or all of those battles.

We've heard enough of the view from the UK if that's all you have to offer, it doesn't need to be repeated (which is about as annoying as anything can be in this day and age). At a more granular local level here we're all working on it.

Democrats in various local areas where primaries are happening have been asking if they should support Haley to try to keep Trump out of the election, but Trump is the face of the brand and the malignancy that need to be defeated; if the GOP should end up with Haley and were she to be elected we'd have a Trump sycophant who would pardon him of any federal crimes and let him go on his merry way. Best to defeat Trump himself and be done with it.

The civil trial by E. Jean Carroll about defamation should resume tomorrow after a COVID scare earlier in the week. It is about ready to wrap up.

After one whole term of being lazy
Like an old man he's half asleep
Now it seems that he's half crazy
but is mean as a lieing creep
Trump is not a new sensation
He's done pretty well I think
But this half-ton imitation
is circling down the sink

He's wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered is he
He's alot like villain John Wilkes Booth
When he tweets he decrees what our eyes should see
Bewitched, he's allergic to the truth

Lost the vote, but so what of it
He is old I agree
He can laugh, and we love it
Although the laugh's on me
Pastors sing to him, folks bring to him
Donations for lawyers that cling to him

Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered is he
He's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have his charms
He's confused and he really shows it
Revenge will be his harm
He's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this half-ton imitation
Washed rights down the sink

He's sinned a lot; I mean a lot
He's like a repeat craven felon
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered is he
The fringe loves him, but I CRINGE from him
Some worship the red tie that clings to him
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered is he

When he talks, he is seeking
Hatred to get off his chest
with his word salad speaking, he's at his very best
Vexed again, perplexed again
As God, he wants us obcessed again
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered is he

Wise at last, my eyes at last
Are cutting him down to size at last
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered no more
Burned a lot, we've learned a lot
And now he thinks he beat Barak,
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered no more

For all we know he is dyspeptic
Sanity is a real no go
I hope the election's antiseptic
I hope he's locked in Mar Lago
Donald Trump, finis, your chance, finis
Those ants that invaded our House, finis
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered no more

Ron DeSantis withdraws from Republican presidential race, endorses Trump

"Ron DeSantis announced his withdrawal from the race on social media

"He finished a distant second behind former president Donald Trump in last week's Iowa caucuses

"Nikki Haley is now the last Republican in the contest with a shot of denying Mr Trump the nomination"

The article also analyses DeSantis' campaign issues and failures.

In my opinion, he's not the Second Coming, he is the Anti-Christ. It fits with his narcissistic personality and his power plays and his manipulation of facts into lies. And he didn't raise people from the dead, he sent a huge number to their deaths by COVID.

From yesterday's Washington Post:

A ‘whale’ of a tale: Trump continues to distort cognitive test he took
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a test aimed at detecting dementia or cognitive decline, never included the combination of animals Trump identified this week

I particularly like the quote
Experts also note that the assessment is not an I.Q. or intelligence test, though Trump has often talked about it as if it was.

“It’s a very, very low bar for somebody who carries the nuclear launch codes in their pocket to pass and certainly nothing to brag about,” said Jonathan Reiner, a cardiologist and professor of medicine and surgery at the George Washington School of Medicine & Health Sciences.

Addressing the crowd of supporters Wednesday night in Portsmouth, Trump continued with his riff on the test, seeming to wholly invent another hypothetical question.

The irony about the whole age debate is that Biden is a good weight, eats a healthy diet, and has all of his marbles. The stammer occasionally rears it's head to make some of his speech halting, but he's the one people worry about? They can't see past the mess of Trump's pancake makeup and hair gel.

The Supreme Court was supposed to be apolitical and just decide on the interpretation of the Constitution and settle lower court disputes.
BUT things have changed along with the growth of corruption.

IF the USA only relied on the popular vote, Democrats would have won the last 7 presidential elections and the Republicans only one.

Republicans have relied on becoming loophole masters and legislating litigation to maximize Republican votes by minimizing Democrat votes via voter suppression.

How would I try to make the system more fair for people who are not billionaires?

I would nationalize money that is laundered in the USA and do a Robin Hood for the 'poor'. The biggest laundry of dirty money is in the USA. Russia launders its money in Cyprus. The king of laundered money is in the State of Deleware and a few northern western States via shell companies. The Panama Papers were the blueprint for this hidden money scheme from the records of a law firm that enabled the system.

I'm sure I wouldn't last long after I removed the billionaire's stash.
I might even pay off most of the national debt with the left over cash if I could elude hired assasines. This plan has its risks. Besides billionaires might then look to China to launder their cash. They already do with Chinese super lockdown warehouses for billionaire hard goods.

Trump and his attorneys are using every strategem in the book to delay these trials.

It seems quite unlikely to me that any but the current civil cases will be decided before the election.

But it may not matter. Trump's followers are certain that all these cases are "election interference" and that any convictions will be overturned by the Supreme Court. As I've mentioned, such appeals can take several years.

If Trump is re-elected, he will suspend all the investigations and trials.

His unique claim - on no legal basis whatever - that he has and deserves "absolute immunity" may eventually erode some of his popularity. It's a long way to November.

Right now, though, he's neck and neck with Biden - and more popular as a public figure.

Makes you think.

All the reporting I see here in the U.K. seems to suggest that none of these cases will come to fruition before the Election, that Trump will be the Republican candidate again, and he will subsequently become 47.

I fear for the US and I fear for the world.

Please, Dog, let me be wrong…

Trump hasn't been charged with "insurrection."

But the 14th Amendment doesn't say who determines whether he did so engage. The states? Congress? The Supreme Court? It's all very murky.

He was charged with inciting an insurrection in his second impeachment but was acquitted by the Senate. Impeachment is a political, not a judicial, procedure. He could still be charged criminally - and at the time of his acquittal, McConnell, Graham, McCarthy, and others insisted that he should be. What changed their minds and turned them back into ardent supporters is unclear.

The current charges against Trump in the 1/6 case are:

Conspiracy to defraud the government [with false electors]

Conspiracy against the right to vote [by attempting with others to overturn the legitimate result of an election]

Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding [by exhorting the crowd (again with others) to march to the Capitol and "fight like hell"]

Obstruction of an official proceeding [by doing nothing to call off the rioters once they were in the building]

My position has become conservative! I prefer an original Constitutional Government over a New Government with rampant political violence and dictatorial decree with a license to kill political opponents.

The Supreme Court could have a way out of their predicament. If they rule that the presidency is covered by the 14th amendment but Trump has not yet been found guilty of insurrection in a court of law, then the onus moves to the court trying him for his part in Jan 6.

But what do I know!?

Ivanka Trump Former Employee Ends Up in Father's Jury Pool
"A woman says she worked for Ivanka Trump's company doing communications work in 2017/18 and also says it won't impact her ability to be fair to both sides," Crane-Newman posted to X, formerly Twitter.

The prospective juror's identity, nor her position for Ivanka Trump, has not been made public. It is unclear if she was one of the nine jurors selected.

Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told Newsweek that the potential juror's former employment under Ivanka Trump would not be enough to have her removed from the case.

Everyone knows extreme cold makes caucuses shrink. :^/

Jean Carroll is still getting death threats as Trump continues his misogynist denials.

Entire police and FBI departments treat sexual abuse and rape cases as he said she said scenarios. It would help if only female detectives conducted investigations.

The numbers are meaningless. But media companies want eyeballs and advertisers and they go with the Trump nonsense because they get the ratings. They didn't learn their lesson in 2016, but so many people know what he is up to now that even though his supporters are noisy and brash and out there for the Iowa event, it really doesn't add up to anything.

The percentage of people who go out to participate in the Iowa caucuses is minute compared to the registered voters of the state. Let them think he won - but make sure everyone gets out to vote in November. Polls, caucuses, even primaries are barely useful to extrapolate from. Only the election itself matters.

The pattern of Trump's breathing tonight in his 'town hall' resembled the breathing of James Gandolfini before he had his heart attack. The specific type of breathing shows excessive stress on the heart with loud nasal inhalations. This is not an acute condition but is a warning sign. I only mention this because I was correct about Reagan's dementia 3 years before the famous letter announcing his condition. On TV I said I saw evidence of the President's symptoms of organic brain disease while the rest of the panel of psychologists and 'experts' were aghast and flabbergasted. I was not asked back and NO ONE MENTIONED 3 YEARS LATER that I had been correct. C'est la vie.


btw Chris Christie spoke eloquently, confessionally and directly on C-Span and later on TV tonight.

Stilly, when Hitler was allowed to speak at his insurrection trial it was a grand mistake. If only a judge Engoran had been on the bench.

Lighter it is perfectly true some arguments are meant to delay but when throwing their dirty underwear against the wall they should have the ability to stick. Trump's arguments are surprisingly 'unstickworthy'. Trump's lawyers are playing for Trump's approval and not a passionate defense. Their heart is not into it which is a good thing.
