Anyone connected to the GOP with White House aspirations is currently praying to whatever deity/demon they worship that SCOTUS blocks him. If it happens that will cause an open convention (meaning it starts with not having a candidate). The convention this summer would be absolutely insane, I'd bet there will be bloodshed in or near the venue, possibly Milwaukee under martial law as the MAGA patriots attempt to use those guns they've been stockpiling. There won't be a liberal in sight, but no reason to think the "antifa in disguise" ploy will not be used. Again. It Was Riotous’: An Oral History of the GOP’s Last Open Convention

The answer to your second point is the first point. "Just looking for customers" is actually a pretty honest stance, cash and carry is the old expression, or quid pro quo, which is even older.. Point 2 is they are looking for a chump, that's where the big money is, love those regular checks/wire transfers, poor girls whose lives are an endless stream of sick parents, sick water buffaloes, ear operations, etc.

Here's a link to the magnets thing. https://www.salon.com/2024/01/06/presents-interesting-theory-on-how-magnets-work-during-rally-in-iowa/ There is also a whopper out there about him saying he wanted the military to use "automatic weapons" on the 1/6 crowd; he posted it on his own website, the news sites picked it up and it was disappeared immediately. So, these are "my people, they won't hurt me" and at the same time they were antifa in disguise as rednecks as coordinated by Pelosi. How are his patriot choir guys taking this automatic weapons news?

I'm haunted by the realization that I didn't like any of those Dems on the debate stage in the 2019/2020 primaries. I refuse to think about succession if Joe dies in office. I did like Liz Warren chasing Bloomberg off the stage, I thought she was going to drag by his ear, like a school librarian. "You are so outta here, mister!"

It will not be paid, ever, but it will be accommodated. Debt gets traded like baseball cards.

Q: why is this man smiling? A: because this pic was taken before Ms Habba's statement. He may now have to recuse because of what she said. And then there was seven. Those hearings of the three Heritage Foundation appointees was farcical. Gorsuch gave stupid answers and maintained that smirk the whole time, as if to say "I'm lying, and you know it, and you can't do a thing about it." Brett cried. Lindsey Graham rescued him. Amy was practically a re-run of the first two, second-hand questions and the predictable second-answers. "I don't do hypotheticals." Check out the look on DT's face, it says "this jerk owes me big time!"

They did a hell of a job moving it. This might be a gesture of good will toward the Cambodians, who still haven't forgiven VN for invading in the 1978, even though it rescued them from Pol Pot.

But there is always Canada, and it seems there is some tradition involved with his likes. Randy Prince Andy could turn out to be a modern day remittance man

This is a conundrum DT is trying to get around in his rants: with all the effort his friends and sponsors put into getting him re-elected he still lost, and right there he sees a justification in his accusations against the Dems, that for them to win they had to do some rigging themselves. Stay tuned to the campaign screeds, at some point he is going to spill out. It's like the story of the guy who picks up a street walker, pays in advance, and when she runs off he goes to the cops and tells them she took his $$$ but didn't deliver.

That's pretty self-evident, who in his circle doesn't reek? We can all be fooled into letting a rat into our midst, but with this guy it is consistent. And just because some in his circle have turned on him and are portrayed as standing for truth and justice, well don't be fooled by them. E.g., I wouldn't trust Michael Cohen as far as I could throw him. When this NFT con came along him and his wife naturally drawn to it.

Forecast: cloudy with a chance of suicides. Has it ever been discover how Epstein became so wealthy? Now that we are getting to see how the former pres plays his legal games, I'm expecting him to say "I never touched any of those girls" and then the Supreme Court will have to rule on the definition of 'touch.' What a blackguard this guy is, and the people he associates with. He should have steered clear of politics after Roy Cohen died, the mistake of his life.

He has sired 4 offspring with immigrant wives. Could this be what he means when he talks about immigrants poisoning American blood? Maybe this is what is in his mind when he looks at his kids. I think he's had it with Mel anyway, time to start test driving interviewing new talent.

More than a third of US adults say Biden’s 2020 victory was not legitimate I wonder who is telling them this . . .

More like they suspect the voters will not vote their way. That's the GOP, that's why they are always pulling stunts like gerrymandering and making it difficult for people to cast ballots. Whoever does it has to live with it, blaming other political parties for their deeds is nothing short of cowardice. They know they are doing wrong, that's why they lie about it. I think some of those good ol' boys at the Capitol on 1/6 are insulted when the Maga crowd says those were antifa in disguise. When it's your own doing, own it.

It was DT's niece, Mary, who revealed that he wears a corset. This was back when she first started her public comments on dear uncle. If you notice when he stands still he is bent forward at the waist in a peculiar way because of it, she pointed out. The purpose is to keep the lard in place. Also, because getting into and out of the corset is so complex he wears a diaper so he doesn't have to deal with it. The stink is one thing, the other is the chafing, which can cause a chronic case of bad mood. We know that he knows how to stand straight because he attended a reform school military academy in his youth. I recently noticed that when he does the fist salute he doesn't make a proper fist. It seems a good bet that Mr Tough Guy from Queens never had to defend himself in a fist fight.

So they are something like hemorrhoids?

I don't give Maine much credit because they re-elect Susan Collins. She's a joke, a purse-stuffer (she has to be if she's GOP, it's like Serpico: if you don't $$$ you can't be trusted). Worthy of being an LOS politico. Maine's other senator is an independent.

Knucklehead-ism, there's a world-wide epidemic of it.

Consider that the longer things take, the more other things may come to light, and thus it all gets more damning. I haven't heard this mentioned since it happened: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/29/barack-obama-sanctions-russia-election-hack Ain't it funny the guy who is always reaching to depict others in conspiracies against himself has so little to say about this?

Boys will be boys in the boy's room. Perhaps the two fellows were sharing a moment and these goons rush in, and this is really a gay-bashing incident? But then these people associated with influencers are always looking to add to the numbers.

Perhaps the dawning of a new age of Thai-Indian tourism, and the Thais will show their feelings in a subtle Thai way, such as quality of service (of which there will be little of either). The fight started when an Indian said that Mussaman curry is not curry.

‘As Maine goes, so goes the nation’ Maybe it's only for a primary, but it does indicate where sentiment lies. Democracy loves a consensus.

I hope I'm still alive when Don Jr runs, something to look forward to. On the campaign trail he's going to end up like Steve Buscemi in "Fargo." Hopefully he'll still have his present fiance. BTW, for those who don't know, Don Jr's fiance is the ex-wife of Gavin Newsom. Also, she used to have a show on Fox.
