LMFAO! Spin master, when the same corrupt McConnell was helping conservative judges elected you talk say him corrupt na now why your lord and savior wan enter frying pan you know say he's corrupt. Bwahahahahaha!
Mitch McConnell. He helped with judges.
Gang of Eight. He was a member. What did he know about the Russian collusion hoax? The gang of Eight was briefed by FBI long before the elections.

Another matter. Trump or any other POTUS is allowed to make recess appointments without them going through the senate. Mitch never sent the senate on recess, otherwise Giuliani would have been the AG for instance.

That's because Trump is the only human being outside Jesus christ that is sinless. Every other American outside his disciples like Jim Jordan,
Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, and other MAGA followers are evil. All his former staff including lawyers, accountants and personal aids are all compromised. All his appointee aids and staff as president are all parts of the deepstate. Even some members of his family like his wife and daughter are all working for the deepstate. In fact only Trump can save America from every other person in the US.
Yeah right Trump is sinless but Obama ranks higher as Saint Jesus of Chicago.

LoLz! Trump himself selected this people so your spin is just nonsense. After shouting drain the swamp, filling the courts with conservative judges and giving tax breaks to the rich is now you know DC is corrupt. Why didn't Trump do anything significant to combat the corruption? Why is it the very people of his kitchen cabinet that are falling apart? Nonsense and ingredients. Bwahahahahaha!
I'll take just some examples of Trump's initial appointees.
His first AG Jeffrey . Immediately after passing nomination, he was pressured to recuse himself from the Clinton and FBI Russia investigation leaving Rosenstein to carry out the inquisition through Mueller and Weissman.Reason for recusal is that he was part of Trump's campaign which Cris Steele and FBI lied was colluding with Russia.

Gen Flynn. Obama expelled Russian diplomats. Flynn called Kisylak the Russian ambassador and the FBI recorded his call. Mary McCord (find out where she is today) and some other deep stater went to WH saying that Flynn was belittling Obama by making contact with Russians. Which was within his purview as incoming Nat Sec Advisor. Pence said that Flynn had not told him about the comms with Russian Ambassador. Forcing Flynn to get out of the way. Remember Obama had told Trump not to appoint Flynn.The reason was that petulant Obama had fallen out with and fired Flynn because Flynn had stated that Obama admin was arming extremist group ISIS and lying that they were moderate elements of the Free Syrian army. This intercepted call would land Flynn in court as part of lawfare.

That was the first strike. Get rid of Sessions and Flynn.
Next appointment.
James Comey was fired. Gov Chris Christie lobbied for Chris Wray to be appointed, he is a deep state sympathiser who thinks parents protesting Critical Race Theory in schools are domestic terrorists.

Trump was an outsider, didn't know these corrupt DC creatures who would never pass nomination via senate if McConnell did not approve them.McConnell wife is a Chinese family invested in ship building or something like that. Any Chinese financial drastic measures by Trump would be tempered down by the senate unless it was through an Executive Order

There. Good allies, severely curtailed. New appointment,wolves in sheepskins.

It’s all about getting Trump. He’s the “odd” thing in the yard preventing things from running “normally”


FJB should be careful with Meadows. All he’s telling his boys in Federal could be just to goad them on to believe “something”, so they could nail Trump ( I will if I were in his shoes) - I mean, every sane person knows FJB and the establishment are all out there to “get Trump” out of the way. And they’re willing and ready to do “anything” to achieve that - including selling their soul to the Devil, if not already done.
Each and every Trump ally and family has been grilled by law enforcement over matters that are bloated. By the Mueller inquisition, via impeachment 1 and 2, the Jan6 select committee, by DAs across the land, by Jack Smith.
It takes an ounce of intelligence to see that a cabal does not want Trump or any other pretender
Granted Trump did not start any war, looks out for nationalism, knows DC is corrupt to the core, does not want open borders and is staunchly Pro Israel.
Republicans and Democrats don't want Trump because they obviously benefit via largese. For instance the Congress has had a fund that pays off victims of sexual harrasment by House members.

It's the private club of the republican and democrat DC operatives. They are OK with anyone acceptable to them. A Trump supporter. They will not let him be speaker, they only need 6? Republicans to do a deal with democrats.
And there is not a darn thing the voters can do.

Unfortunately Bas, they’re winning.

If Emmers, a never-Trumper who voted to endorse FJB wins speaker of the house, Trump may well just forget his presidential run.

I have said time and again that Trump is up against a force far greater than he alone can handle. It will take divine intervention for Trump to win against these formidable foes - and it appears he didn’t know he was wining and dining with them. They know him inside out.
Joe Biden handlers managed to have media sayJoe never said this.These people have amassed power only that they pretend to be a democracy.
Trump might have to withdraw from running if he wants a preemptive pardon .But they will destroy his businesses asa warning to any other wonnabe president.

When asked at a post-midterms press
conference how other world leaders should
view this moment for America, with Trump
potentially running for the presidency again,
Biden said he will make sure Trump doesn’t
take power.
“We just have to demonstrate that he will not
take power if he does run, making sure he —
under legitimate efforts of our Constitution —
does not become the next president again,”
Biden said.

LoLz. basilico let's hear the spin for this one.
What's there to spin. I've said all along the idea is to prevent Trump from running. Not Trump but anyone else that DNC and RNC do not approve .
The speaker of the house. The Republicans are flatly refusing a Trump supporting Speaker, they will stall until they get a RINO in place.

As for Trump, I now think they will move to jail him. Have close aides strung up in legal jeopardy until they plead guilty. Voila It's now confirmed that felonies were committed. Next step is jailing Trump.
And by the way, don't ever think that Kennedy Jr will ever win the election. He is not an acceptable candidate, he is now an independent after seeing the roadblocks in place via the Democrat party.
They will never let any other outsider become the president.
That to me is the sad state of a system I thought works but whose decline will be inevitable.

AI has improved significantly. I use it for some of my project to generate codes. It is good for boilerplate codes, but it will hardly give you exactly what you want so you got to know what you are doing else you will be wasting your time.
I think AI will be the most disruptive technology ever. Like Mobile phones have disrupted normal order.
I'm only looking into AI from it's monetizing side of it. I will not delve deep into coding, I have use for limited data analytics and AI via API can generate interesting analysis. That's the farthest I might go to.

Now that you brought up Alex Jones hoping Id support him, on this one matter you silently take sides with him because you are more aligned to jihadists.
Namely that World Trade Centre was a false flag attack job.Alex Jones said that.I don't agree with him, it's absurd to think that some Allahu Akbar screaming fanatics sponsored by Osama were not responsible.
It behoves terrorist supporters to be 9/11 truthers because it hides the real reason why the attack occured. Anything to make Bush look bad is enough for you to join their bandwagon.Thats my opinion of you.

Bankruptcy, as in the requirement that he hands over almost every cent he earns, is the cost of the damage he knowingly recklessly did with his lies. But no one wants to shut him up. If he shuts up he'd make no money to pay his owners.
Damages are for helping victims obtain closure.
In this case, I highly doubt how much they ever get if any.
In other words the verdict was political, meant to shut down a govt critic and not help the victims.
While it's a private suit, lawyers are known for taking up such cases pro Bono to build their achievements and squeeze some shitload of cash.
Remember that Michael Avenatti, he was lawyer to pornstarr who sued Trump.He stole her money. Plus he was blackmailing some company,Jailed for 14 years. While serving as the Trump inquisitor he got fawning media prime time coverage,one fake news reporter from CNN was ecstatic that Avenatti would be a wonderful Presidential candidate vs Trump.

Biden DoJ is using lawfare, sham charges, selective media leaks, outright media bias, jury poisoning, leftist juries and judges, lengthy incarcerations, withholding exculpatory evidence and power of the state to obtain convictions.

Foreign AffairsHamas Torture Confirmed As Israeli Forensics Institute Identifies Victims by basilico(op): 11:11am On Oct 22, 2023
Hamas committed atrocities, gruesome . No different from the Islamic State.

Forensic pathologists, including Israeli staffers
as well as volunteers from abroad, were
visibly disturbed by the evidence before them.
Stifling the urge to retch became a difficult
task as I walked through the lower levels of
Israel’s National Center of Forensic Medicine
(Abu Kabir) in Tel Aviv. The smell of rotting
human remains, much of which was
completely unrecognizable as human due to
the brutality of the attack, was at times too
much to bear.
In light of the growing international interest in
(and denials of) the Palestinian terror group
Hamas’ October 7 massacre in southern
Israel, representatives of the global press were
invited to see the horrors for themselves.
Forensic pathologists, including Israeli staffers
as well as volunteers from abroad, were
visibly disturbed by the evidence before them.
Despite every effort to remain objective and
detached—as called for by the profession—
many broke down into tears throughout the
day.
During the initial press conference, the
forensics team showed images from their
investigations. Among the images were those
of charred hands with marks that revealed
where the victims’ hands were bound behind
their backs with metal wire before being
burned
