It's possible. Is it probable? As one (you) who shows interest in WW1 and history in general, perhaps we should look back and see if we can determine a pattern or mindset.

“Good talk” irks me as condescending which it is so I do react accordingly.

It was meant to convey a good discussion. If you take it as condescending...that's on you.

Your context and content without a chance for me to respond first belies what you just said.
It is a condescending remark.
I don’t really care but it is what is.

Spiro Agnew would call it effete radical snobbery.
I’ll stick with snide.

Whatever bro. I'll just drop out of this thread.

Here's a quote from Dino....err....I mean Lenny.

"I can speak in full declarative sentences.
And when I speak people listen.
no one is capable of infuriating others as I can when I want to because I am a political acupuncturist.

He sanctioned the murder of VP Pence.
He brought Helter Skelter on Jan. 6.
If Pence did not bend his knee he tried to start a civil war that would be fought in the streets.
He ran the presidency as if he was President Charles Manson.
He took advantage of millions of weak minded worshipers and racists and Republicans knowing that he was destroying democracy.
He did not give a sh it."

He's a political acupuncturist....far more intelligent than you or I. So I suppose it's possible.
Good talk.

Give him a break, Doug. Dino is a good guy. We had some positive private talks during the height of COVID and he has excellent taste in music. Not everything should be judged by one's political leanings.

Take it easy, Doug...from someone who used to live just off the same State Road 84 that you used to work in and around back in the day. It's a small world and we all need to share it.

Whatever bro. I'll just drop out of this thread.

Trump would pardon Hitler if he thought it would help him.

Maybe everything there is about UFOs including the most classified whatever that is will now get released. What better distraction could there be. It could wipe out people’s memory about Epstein like in Men In Black.

Bondi said something in the last few days that could lead one to believe that she is planning to do it.

It could be a novel way to wag the trump.

So far the only truly transparent thing in the Maxwell saga is that she gives interview with Trump’s criminal lawyer turned government lawyer and a few days later is illegally placed in a special country club prison. It is so cushy that it is called a camp. It has fences on one side.
It is like a college campus and people can walk in and out. When they say low security it is more like an honor system.

So that was transparent - a quid pro quo if there ever was one.

Reporters suck. Where is the relentless pointed questioning. Reporters should be trained by really good lawyers who excel at cross examination because they ask weak questions and give up right away.

They should also act like a track team. When one does not get a full answer the next one should take the baton and press forward.

The Scam of the Scum

First of all NEVER believe anything that T Rump says and in fact always assume it is false.

He will conflate the billions coming to the treasury with the tariff money that was coming in during Biden and still does. Naturally.
Take it to the bank that at some point countries like India will export to other countries that are civilized. And reduce imports as well. So his projections are crapola.

There are 195 countries. And Vatican and something else.
It could be a horrible error to play ball with Trump.
He is a danger to the world and no country should reward what he is doing which will empower him.
It would be surrender.
Aquirsence is surrender.

This will shake out over time.

EU - hang tough and show no fear or capitulation.
This is a test.

Unassailable Logic MAGA Style

The Big Balls Dodger guy did something heroic and got viciously attacked and bloodied.
So now Trump is going to flood DC to stop crime.

It took one of his people to get hurt to actually do this.
Just sayin that it means something that it was that which precipitated the flood of crime fighters.

Now Trump wants to treat young teenagers as adults and put them in prison for a long long time.
Fine but it comes back to him inciting a vicious riot of more then 1000 maniacs on Jan 6 and pardoning people who did much much worse then 14 year old hooligans and the 1000 plus violent criminals got 5 police officers killed 3 by suicide. And scores maimed and scarred for life.

He never apologized but pardoned their murderers and called them patriots ( dumb immoral s hole country but isn’t that obvious)? Yes it is.

And what will it mean if classified UFO files can get released but Epstein files cannot be released?
What a government and what an inferior country to re-elect such garbage and evil and treachery.

THE STATE OF THE UNION

What is the current level of concern with the brain drain degradation?
What is the level of danger? Def Com 1?
What is the current risk for mass casualties?

The best and the brightest and most normal and mature and responsible are being displaced from the CIA and FBI and NIS and DOD and DOJ and every other essential agency daily and are replaced with people who are 1 or 2 steps away from either mental institutions or prison or both or so it seems.

RFK Jr WILL cause people to die here and around the world unless he is stopped. Not maybe he WILL cause multitudes to die.
He should be in prison as the cell mate of Sirhan Sirhan and give Sirhan Sirhan carte blanche to do as he will.

The war on science and medicine is accelerating.

Education is in free fall.

Freedom of speech is declining.

They would like to limit freedom of thought.

Pursuit of Justice is disloyal.
Pursuit of truth is disloyalty.
Protecting of the rule of law is treason.
Actual Treason is the voice of reason.

History that is inconvenient to a racist ideology and fake narrative must be expunged.

DEI is hateful because it prevents firing people of color to replace them with all white work forces.

Conspiracy theories are encouraged.

Religion is to be shoved down people’s throats and should replace science.

Proselytizing in the workplace is fine and dandy. Buck up minorities. If you don’t like it then convert.

The country is corrupted and dumbed down more and more by the day.
And in grave grave grave danger.

Pregunta

Which distraction is distracting which?
Is MaxStein distracting from the prices getting higher and higher because of the new forever war? War is war.
Is it the opposite?
Is the scheduled tag team contest of Trump and Putin vs Zelensky distracting the news about other two??

And when Putin offers to steal part of Ukraine as part of a peace deal will Trump then say Russia you offered peace so India can now resume buying Russian oil without being tariffed??? Putin and Trump bros again but they never stopped.
The end of the secondary tariff over the oil would be predictable.

He has made a ton of enemies. The list of people and countries and companies fills up several pages and more are added daily.

Unless he retreats and reverses on his trade war and says no mas my bad - which won’t happen the United States WILL suffer permanent injury in the form of less trade - imports and exports.

There are many trading partners that are going out on dates with new partners or getting more serious with casual partners.

And Mexico and Canada are scheming to radically change the U.S. Mex Canada formula squeezing US out.
Brazil for example will forget about the USA and others will too. They will have to in order to survive. Maybe India included if Trump continues down his path.

If countries drop the USA in part or entirely and it goes on until a dem gets in after Trrmp they are NOT likely to pull out the rug under new partners.

In other words permanent trading damage and permanent lower revenue and maybe permanent higher prices for USA consumers.

This really could be a Pompei of trade - a tsunami Of a FUBAR. Unless he surrenders.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER!!!!
The emperor has no brain.

Trump is extremely underwater on every major issue.Including immigration. -20 on inflation.
He is significantly underwater on job approval even with Rasmussin and that ain’t good.

But after looking at the numbers issue by issue you would think that his job approval would be even lower especially since even Trump can’t blame anything happening on Biden.

I think there is a big segment that really doesn’t like his policies but actually likes the fascism and racism. They admire it.

January 6 cannot be normalized or forgotten.
To the people of the book ( the constitution) who insist that democracy must be preserved aka hatred of Trump and MAGAism Jan 6 is a zillion ( literally ) times more important then all of Trump’s policies combined.

For those intellectually honest people who see patterns from history Jan 6 can be compared to the November 8 1923 beerhall putsch but the perpetrator of that - Hitler, went to jail. Trump did not.

The terrible irony ( so far ) is that a country that was Nazi 10 years later put Hitler in jail and the so called great America could not even impeach and convict Trump and throw him out of future office.
Scary.

TBC - to be bled into what is happening in DC.
It is another event materializing before our eyes and it won’t be stopped.

When I call MAGA supporting people brain damaged I don’t mean organically. It is my way of saying they are of low character or brainwashed or yes really really dumb. Most of them are really really dumb about American history and government and issues and politics and leadership and civic morality and or of low character.

TBC

Ukraine is working with Europe on peace plan. If it gets accepted Trump will take credit and demand the Nobel Peace Prize.

Sticking point - insistence on path to NATO and membership in EU.

Any agreement ceding land would be dangerous if not stupid without NATO.

Watch Trump and Putin paired up. Trump and his magic hate ball.

I would love to see Gallup do this poll - 3 questions - to citizens -

1. Are you proud to be an American?
2 Are you embarrassed to be an American?
3. Are you ashamed to be an American?

What is next in DC?
Martial law. He hasn’t imposed that yet.
But he probably will. It will make it easier to arrest opponents like ICE did to some politicians.
Perhaps the mayor will be arrested. Maybe some Dems from Congress.

My guess for city # 2 is Baltimore. He doesn’t like Wes Moore. And it is only 38 miles from DC. It would require Martial law to do what Trump wants to do.

He will practice in DC to declare martial law if any demonstrations he does not like anywhere else.


The bipartisan immigration bill Trump crushed would have reduced illegal crossings to a trickle or none like now but as a civilized government.
I wonder how much of the reduction is because of disgust with the United States just like the major drop in tourism.

Believe it or not Trump is significantly underwater on immigration. Hard to believe but true! Incredible statistic.

Since nobody new is coming in why is it sooo important to get all of the ones that are here out of the country. Is it really that important now?

Actually it isn’t. But Let Hate Rule.

When Putin sees Trump:
Hey Donald, congratulations on your fascist takeover of DC and your continued assault on American democracy in all aspects of your country. I’m proud of you and proud to call you a friend.
Now the pupil becomes the teacher.

Vladimir stop. You will make me blush.

Do you think that the Trump soldiers will be put where most of the actual crimes occur?
I doubt it. Nobody will see them if they go there.
Instead they will be put in the most public places that have the least crime.
