I think you mean "Alternative Facts", that Republican invention. Remember the Boiling Green Massacre, championed by Kellyanne Cadaver Conway. She got magas to lower the Confederate flags on their F-150s to commemorate it. Oh, and then there's trump lawyer Rudy: "Truth isn't truth".

I've flown in the Falcon 10. It's an old model and quite small. I doubt it's range is any more than 3500km fully loaded. Now if you want to take out the seats and install a giant fuel bladder, maybe you can hit 6000km, but please don't smoke in the left seat!

So then you think former comedian-turned-President Zelenskyy is a Nazi, putin's invasion of Ukraine has the best interest of Ukrainian civilians at heart, and journalist and putin critic Anna Politkovskaya was shot by muggers, not putin's goons? A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Socks are an option, though there are some fashion faux pas, such as socks with sandals, socks with shorts. Note the photo...both are sockless. Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski, a 6'6" all-time great NFL tight end, models for a maker who eschews socks, making shoes that are quite comfy and breathable. The other is Jim Simons, a famous mathematician and codebreaker, turned successful hedge fund manager worth some $31,000,000,000, who never wears socks.

A few comments... ---The South Seas seem to be beset by two maladies: obesity and maybe echolalia (Pago Pago, Bora Bora, etc.) ---I think Sadie Thompson has long ago left Pago Pago (but in Somerset Maugham's adapted "Rain", one of my favorites, isn't Joan Crawford fetching....no wonder Davidson (Walter Huston), pious as a Thai monk, could not resist her) ---In my university days, I remember reading about an island in the Cook chain called Mangaia. A visiting anthropologist said it is the land of sex (probably putting even Pattaya to shame), that men averaged some 21 encounters a week, and it was custom for the women to bed each and every visitor. Something to consider, as schtupping is as natural as life itself.

trump probably doesn't want to be obese and facing 91 felony charges, either, but the fact is, trump is already the closest thing to Herbert Hoover since....Herbert Hoover. Consider: ---First President to leave office with fewer Americans working than when he entered office since.....Herbert Hoover ---Worst average GDP change over his term since.....Herbert Hoover trump inherited the growing economy created under Obama and left Biden a Recession and 6.8% unemployment, and he achieved that level of abject mediocrity by running up more new National Debt ($7,800,000,000,000) than the total change in GDP; in other words, even his failure was debt-fueled. Maybe Herbert Hoover can finally rest easy, because trump beat him.

Perhaps it has been forgotten, or else trumpers are too embarrassed to mention it again, but part of trump's claim, as detailed by his "crack" legal team, included: ---claims that the dead Hugo Chavez of Venezuela re=programmed Italian satellites which then changed votes on Dominion voting machines in the US ---claims that ballots cast in Arizona contained bamboo, the implication being that China stuffed ballot boxes and was too stupid to get non-bamboo paper Of course the Hugo Chavez claim was never introduced in court, because lawyers who introduce matters they know to be false can be prosecuted. Sidney Powell and others kept that nonsense to pressw conference The "bamboo" issue was checked by Cyber Ninjas, a firm that somehow (because of so many republicans in AZ) was allowed to examine all of the AZ paper ballots. Cyber Ninjas was a brand new firm with zero experience in anything. Still, they concluded that everything in AZ was up to snuff and trump did, indeed, lose the State. When all else failed---including Rudy's presser at Four Seasons (Home and Garden) in PA, in a strip mall next to a store selling porn and 'adult toys'---the fake elector scheme was hatched, with trump's participation, for which he is now indicted.

Is donny losing it? Lots of folks here criticize Biden for his age, but how's this for a "stable genius"? Here is a quote from trump's presser in NH on 15 January post his caucus victory in Iowa: “We did so well, and I think we’re gonna have the same result here,” Trump told his New Hampshire supporters. “I really do. I think we’re gonna [unintelligible]. But we’re also going to place strong protections to stop banks and regulators from trying to de-bank you from your — you know, your political beliefs, what they do. They wanna de-bank you, and we’re going to de-bank.” trump also claimed he was going to beat Obama in the election. Apparently trump thinks it's 2012, since that was the last time Obama was running.

There is no defense. If trump actually believed the election was in doubt (witnesses in front of the grand jury claim he knew he lost, but doesn't like the term "loser"), he may have a right to challenge it. He did that, and lost 59 of 60 cases filed in various courts. What he has zero right to do is pressure the GA SecState to "just find me 11,780 votes". He has no right to appoint fake electors. He has no right to steal classified documents (That case is a true slam dunk.) Only idiots think trump's intent calling his goobers to DC on 6 Jan ("It'll be WILD!") and then telling them to "march to the Capitol" and "You have to fight like hell...you'll never get your country back if you're weak" was anything less than trying to subvert the election certification. THAT is illegal and qualifies as Sedition, though SC Smith hasn't added that charge yet. Smith can, and may. Sedition is a capital offense, carrying the death penalty, which trump absolutely deserves. As for if he 'shot somebody" he would be impeached...not in the 2018-2020 Senate, which had an R majority. Since impeachment begins in the House, there is ZERO chance the current R clownshow in the House would impeach him, so the D Senate now would never have the chance to vote. Note that trump's legal team argued he would have to be impeached first before facing criminal prosecution, even if he had political opponents assassinated. THAT tells sane people what trump wants. trump seeks immunity now because he knows he's guilty and hopes he can avoid jail...or worse. Odds are slim to none. The US is guided not by the Magna Carta, but by the Constitution, where NOBODY is above the law.

Perhaps English is not your first language. If you are speaking of the protests in places like Oregon, you might---if you think about it---find a difference between people who might have looted a pair of Nikes vs folks who wanted to overthrow the US Government, hang the Vice President and kill the Speaker of the House. What would you call what is on the hundreds of videos of terrorists beating police, bear spraying them, smashing windows, chanting "Hang Mike Pence", setting up a gallows on Capitol grounds, <deleted>ting on the floor of the Capitol and wiping their feces on the walls? Souvenir buyers? Typical tourists? It might be a moral challenge for you to develop perspective, but please try. Oh, and not only were some of the terrorists at the Capitol armed (and they have been convicted for it), but trump specifically told security at his Goober Rally on the Mall to not put up metal detectors to check for weapons, "because they aren't here to harm me". I wonder if I had played Kyle Rittenhouse and went to the Capitol to "help police" and gunned down some of the terrorists attacking the Capitol, would you support me the way magas and Talibangicals came to the defense of Rittenhouse even running a Go Fund Me to pay for his legal costs?

Clearly trump is quite concerned about money, as the two trials he attends in person are the bank and insurance fraud trial and the defamation trial. It seems he 'might not' have the money to cover the penalties. In the defamation case, the sky is the limit. Remember that Rudy got hit with $148,000,000 for defaming two volunteer election workers in Georgia. trump is likely to get hit with a much higher figure, because even now he cannot keep his mouth shut. As recently as Wednesday of this week he defamed Ms Carroll yet again, with some locker room-style language while in a public forum, and ostensibly running for President (while in reality he's running solely to stay out of jail). Juries will award based on two things: helping the defamed restore the image the defamer destroyed, and secondly penalties that are aimed at making sure the defamer shuts his mouth. trump, stupidly, is continuing to mouth off while the trial is in session, and the tape of his Wednesday mouthing off was played in court yesterday. If Rudy got $148 million---and the plaintiff's lawyers will make sure the jury knows this---trump is looking at a higher figure. The good news is that cult members who might have missed out on trump's earlier NFTs, or threads of the suit he wore when getting booked for his Georgia felony charges (which he sold to acolytes), there's likely many more NFTs and scissored suits coming to market. Frankly, if donny smeared some of his orange makeup on the suit threads...BOOM! Megabucks!

I do hope one of the trumpers out there gives their messiah a call and reminds him he is running against Joe Biden, and not Barack Obama. Just last night he devoted his speech to trying to get Obama out of the White House, despite President Obama being out of office since 20 January 2017. Sure, Joe and Obama look so much alike, but really, donny! Oh, and he also went off again trying to show off his mental bonafides by boasting of "person man woman camera tv". The guy has completely lost it. As for immunity for Presidents, obviously donny is desperate to stay out of jail. He NEEDS immunity for crimes already committed. At least he's still cognizant enough to know he's a criminal. I've been thinking about this immunity thing and how best to exploit it. For my money, if trump gets his way (He did end one of his "I need immunity" rants by saying "Gawd bless the Supreme Court") and the SC rules immunity exists, I think Biden should immediately send up a couple of F-18s and blow trump's aging Boeing 757 out of the sky. Immunity! SPECTACULAR !

Not accurate. trump inherited the recovery that began after Obama saved the world's financial system from the 2008 debacle (by restoring confidence in the banking system and insurance industry, both of which were days from going belly up). trump now tries to claim the much stronger US growth under Biden is a continuation of what he elft behind, which is silly considering he came in at 4.8% UE and GDP growth, but left Biden 6.8% UE and a Recession. Even before Covid hit, GDP growth under trump was in the bottom 30% since the end of WWII, and the lowest since the end of WWII. AFter trump's mishandling of Covid, it just got worse. As for ISIS, the eradication began under Obama. trump just continued the policies of Obama. As for the Middle East, there are always brief periods of peace. Remember Camp David, the be-all, end-all of ME strife? The ME ALWAYS collapses and always will. trump's 'deregulation' was largely allowing pollution by rolling back EPA standards. If bad air and Flint-Michigan style water is your thing, then trump is your man. He 'deregulated' in ways that allow manufacturers to dump pollutants straight into rivers and streams. trump also ran up new $7,800,000,000,000 in National Debt, which---combined with his tariffs on Chinese imports---were the cause of the inflation he passed on to Biden. Of course, unless you think printing $24,000 for every man, woman and child in the US might not have inflationary implications.

Apparently you do not like economic growth and low unemployment. That's understandable. Many trumpers in the US are on Social Security Disability Insurance, which allows them to sit on their similarly bloated butts at home, watching Jerry Springer re-runs and stuffing their gullets with KFC, chocolate-covered cherries, chips and cookies, adding to their obesity. SSDI is the top 'employer' in many of the States trump won, such as Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. trump inherited a growing economy and 4.8% unemployment, but left Biden a Recession and 6.8% unemployment. Covid is no excuse, because it didn't hit the US until trump's disastrous tenure was 81% done. That 'pot plant' Biden has presided over economic growth that dwarfs your nation as well as other OECD countries and more job creation that ever. (trump was the first US president since Herbert Hoover in 1932 to leave office with fewer Americans employed than when he came to office.) Biden got a bipartisan infrastructure Bill passed and forced drug companies to lower the cost of insulin (which fat trumpers need) from $600 per month to $35 per month. Biden has also continued to bolster Obamacare (which trump was to destroy, despite having zero healthcare plan). So popular is Obamacare that an additional 20 million Americans signed up in 2023 alone. Pretty damn good for a "pot plant", especially when compared to the failure that was/is trump.

The trump cult members have absolutely no clue nor ability to understand the negative international ramifications of a trump 2.0. Intel cooperation, international security, etc., go by the wayside because the rest of the civilized world knows trump is a clown and a fool, and has zero understanding of the world. Other nations will cease cooperating with the US. trump cultists, losers that they are, just live vicariously through the bloated a$$ dictator wannabe, thinking it makes up for all their lifelong pain being mediocre and unsuccessful. They only see their own loser pain, and cannot understand the mayhem trump's abject idiocy will cause. The think tank run by Ian Bremmer puts the greatest threat to world security and the international economy as trump 2.0. It is likely foreign direct investment in the US will cease, and even US companies will consider moving their operations to Mexico and Canada, as those governments would be more stable and run by less capricious fools like trump. Also, as 30% of the US deficit is funded by foreigners, and trump has a tendency toward fiscal profligacy (he ran up a 41% increase on total US debt built up since the 18th Century...trump's deficit in just 4 years was $7,800,000,000,000, or the equivalent of $24,000 for every man, woman and child in the US, or $1000 for every human on Earth...INFLATIONARY !) rates will likely soar. We could see 10% interest rates again. Perhaps it's fitting that rank and file labor, which are trump's bread and butter and KFC buckets, will suffer as jobs are sent to Mexico and Canada. Also, trump claims he's going to get rid of Obamacare, which is his base's healthcare, and which added 20 million new members just in 2023.

My hope is that if that happens, and international cooperation evaporates, along with intel sharing, only trumpers get eradicated by terrorists or putin-style aggression. That would MWGA Make the World Great Again!

And here's another 'benefit' of having a traitor like trump... Liaison cooperation will cease. No more sharing intel on things like nuclear proliferation, illegal arms sales, sales of fissionable material, terrorism, etc., because liaison entities who have good clandestine sources will fear trump exposing them. The clown stole highly classified documents, some of which were HCS (human clandestine sources, which even Presidents have 'no need to know'...but trump got from the two lackeys he stuck into DNI, Grenell and Ratcliffe). In a meeting with Russian FM Lavrov and Amb Kislyak, trump exposed an Israeli penetration of a terrorist group, leading to the asset's beheading. Also, potential clandestine assets for the agency in places like Russia, China, Iran, North Korea or in terrorist groups will think twice about cooperating or being recruited, as they have seen what a reckless clown trump is. They would not want to get exposed and have themselves or their families threatened with death. Already because of trump's big mouth and need to show off, clandestine assets had to be ex-filled. So if you like things like Russians helping terror groups get fissionable material for dirty bombs or terrorist developing bioweapons and planning to use them against US cities, you'll like trump 2.0. Maybe you or your loved ones get killed in a terror attack or a plane blown out of the sky...no harm done, I guess. The good news part of this is that if liaison sources obtain credible information of a plan to assassinate trump, they will hold that intel and not pass it to the agency, and then just sit back with their popcorn and wait until the coward is taken out.

The Lincoln Project took the silly talibangical "And god sent trump" video, which trump re-tweeted, and did a much better and truer version:

Meaningless. Bloomingdale and Lord & Taylor are 100% irrelevant. I also doubt that old lady is skilled in security assessment. As for security, no security in a dept store is 100% effective. It's usually a bunch of fat old retirees who just want to earn a little dosh. When I lived in NYC I often shopped at Bergdorf-Goodman. I am also an ex-agency case officer who is rather aware of surroundings all the time. Of course I never stole anything at BG, but I do not remember security as being anything special. At Harry Winston, on the other hand.....

This case, for those who might forget or not know, is not to determine guilt. That was already determined in the first trial. trump was found guilty of sexual assault as well as guilty of defamation. This second trial is because trump has continued to defame E Jean Carroll. Thus, the only question is how much money in penalties will it take to get the childish trump to stop? Legal experts expect the plaintiff's lawyers to ask for hundreds of millions of dollars. Couple this with the bank and insurance fraud penalty trial (trump has already been found guilty of bank and insurance fraud, in a bench trial when his legal team was given the choice of bench or jury trial, and they chose bench trial), in which trump might have to cough up $370 million, it looks like donny is going to be hurting financially. Even if he appeals, he will be required to post the penalty amount while the appeals are ongoing. He is not cash rich, and has lots of debt still, much to Russian oligarchs who funded him via SIVs at Deutsche Bank. This is according to trump's sons, who both claim they "got all the money they need from Russia". If trump stiffs the Russians, I wouldn't write him a life insurance policy. trumpers, get ready...your cult leader is going to be issuing lots of new NFTs for your collecting pleasure. Dig deep, your messiah needs you.

In each trial in which the convicted sex offender convicted charity fraudster convicted bank and insurance fraudster and the election loser under 91 felony indictment so far, the following people, among others, have received death threats from his cult: E. Jean Carroll Numerous jurors in his ongoing trials Fani Willis Special Counsel Jack Smith Judge Chutkan Judge Engoron Judge Engoron's assistant The FBI agents who carried out the M-a-L search for stolen classified documents Election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss Witness Cassidy Hutchinson Jan 6 Select Committee member Adam Kissinger Jan 6 Select Committee member Liz Cheney Georgia SecState Brad Raffensperger Former trump lawyer Michael Cohen Because of these and other death threats received by people trump has called out in his speeches and social media, the jury in the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial are not required to use their real names. If he had an ounce of moral fiber, trump could get on his social media and tell his goobers to leave these people alone. He has not and will not, as intimidation is one of the few tactics he has, as the mass of evidence against him in every case is overwhelming..

The logistics of the debates will be difficult, what with setting up cameras in Leavenworth so trump can participate. Silly for trump to even play, however, as he has no debates points, only slogans and lies. His supporters, however, not being the brightest of lights, think slogans and lies are good enough. maga...lock her up....and his "plans" like "We're going to put together a healthcare plan you won't believe. So good. So good it's going to be", and "we'll get rid of that Obamacare" (not knowing that new enrollment in Obamacare in 2023 was 20 million people, as it's quite popular). Of course this time trump cannot bark about his "great infrastructure plan, which we'll announce during Infrastructure Weak (sic)". trump's Infrastructure Week never came, and Biden got a bipartisan infrastructure Bill passed already. Admittedly trump will likely retain the Incel vote, the QAnons, the fascists, White Supremacists, those on Social Security Disability Insurance, the poorly educated, the willfully ignorant, and society's losers and forlorn, but that won't be enough to win.

One third of Iowa Republican voters said that if trump is convicted, he would be unqualified to be President and they would not vote for him. trump will be convicted. If he loses a third of the 40% who register as Republicans, he has zero chance of winning. When the convention comes, Republicans would be wise to dump trump. He will not win, and he will also hurt down ballot candidates, as he did in 2018, 2020 and 2022. 2024 is likely to see Dems take the White House, Senate and House.

Polls have already turned around. It's now Biden 49% and the traitor 46%. After a couple of convictions, and as trump loses it more and more and his obvious insanity is even evident to most trumpers, it's only going to get worse for the fat guy. If there are any areas of the US still suffering from drought, perhaps cult members could move there in droves, as their maga tears would halt the drought conditions. Perhaps when trump is rotting in Leavenworth, you will do a good deed and bring him some cheeseburgers and a bucket or two of KFC.

trump lost in 2020. He'll either be in jail by Nov 2024 or dead. Either is just fine and would finally make his silly slogan come true. Clearly you hate democracy, rule of law and the US. You also seem to think a rapist, racist, fascist, misogynist, thief, convicted charity fraudster, convicted sex offender, convicted bank and insurance fraudster, pathological liar, serial philanderer, willfully ignorant, obese, and guy who calls dead US soldiers "suckers and losers" is "good people". Says a lot about you.
