Damning New Evidence That Trump Planned Not To Leave The White House
But he did. And the nation is the better for it. That’s the end game here. He’s out and he will most likely stay out.

Well, it’s another aggravating, disgustifying, overwroughtifying, bad-news-for-Biden, disarraying-for-Democrats kind of day!
[It’s happening!]
“Climate change is here, it’s happening now, it’s unequivocal that humans are causing it,” said Adam Terando, a US Geological Survey scientist and report co-author.
[Tiresome, but with consequences!]
“Those who operate in this sphere thinks this message gets tiresome, but it’s worth reminding people over and over that we are seeing the response of the physical system to what we are doing to it. Dependence upon fossil fuels has real consequences.”
[Alarm bells!]
Kristina Dahl, a climate scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, who was not involved in the publication, said the report is “the latest in a series of alarm bells and illustrates that the changes we’re living through are unprecedented in human history”.
[Devastation stampede!]
She added: “The science is irrefutable: we must swiftly reduce heat-trapping emissions and enact transformational climate adaptation policies in every region of the country to limit the stampede of devastating events and the toll each one takes on our lives and the economy.”

The really cool part???
It’s not even TIFG’s money. He lost someone else’s money - lots of it. And people will still give him money, which they will lose and have a lovely tax write-off.

Pro-Hitler and Holocaust denier account: X has paid me $3,000 in ad revenue sharing | Media Matters for America
There’s more bad news for brands that advertise on X (formerly Twitter): They’re helping financially reward pro-Adolf Hitler propaganda.
A verified account that has drawn millions of views for posts that lionize Hitler and deny the Holocaust said that it’s been paid $3,000 this year by X. Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino’s platform has continued to be a boon for bigots and misinformation but a disaster for advertisers: We found numerous advertisements for companies on that pro-Hitler account, including for major sportsbooks BetMGM, DraftKings, and FanDuel.
Musk has instituted a number of changes to X since he bought it last y

Lord willing and the voters show up next year, he just won’t get that chance, 54K foot soldiers or no.
The nincompoops think they are the only ones with an arsenal. There are enough of us out here that the confrontation will be blessedly short.

I posted on another thread this morning that Ellis’ revelation shouldn’t be ‘news’.
The Media is killing us. 3 years later, the same guy is still running around spewing Hitlerisms and is assembling a shadow government designed to eradicate his enemies. Has nobody noticed that everyone becomes his enemy at some point?

In his new book, Jonathan Karl captures Donald Trump gloating. “She said she could never get crowds like that,” the former US president turned de facto Republican presidential nominee is quoted as saying, after a conversation with Angela Merkel, then chancellor of Germany.
“In fact, she told me that there was only one other political leader who ever got crowds as big as mine.”
One Republican congressman, Karl notes, was left wondering whether Trump understood that Merkel was alluding to Adolf Hitler.
Asking: “Which would be more unsettling: that he didn’t or that he did?”, Karl leaves the reader to judge.
[No veep for you Kristi!]
“‘I knew we had a problem when Kristi Noem [the Republican governor of South Dakota] had a previously scheduled appointment before that cyber symposium in Sioux Falls,” Bannon yucks to Karl, about one of Lindell’s attempts to prove supposed election subversion. “She couldn’t come down and give us 10 minutes?”

Texas GOP Reps. Michael Burgess, Pat Fallon Won’t Seek Reelection (msn.com)
A longtime GOP congressman and a two-term Republican representative, both from Texas, on Monday announced that they won’t run for reelection.
Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas, announced his retirement from Congress after two decades on social media Monday.
“It is the honor of my life to represent my friends and neighbors in the United States Congress,” said Burgess.
Fellow Texas GOP Rep. Pat Fallon filed to run for the Texas Senate, a body he served in for one term before running for Congress in 2020. According to the Texas Tribune, Fallon called his term in the Texas Senate “the best two years I ever spent” in politics.

I think you’re right, but the fact that we have to qualify it is a problem.
