It's really easy: Trump wanted the rioters to delay the certification of the electoral results on January 6. If you can't grasp that simple idea, there's little hope for you.

You really think the Proud Boys stormed the Capitol because the FBI told them to? Or are you just filling space because you don't like the answer to the question of who told the Proud Boys to storm the Capitol?

Why did some people bring zip ties to the Capitol? How about those people who had bullhorns and walkie talkies? Do you think they just woke up on the morning of January 6, and thought "I am going to hear Trump speak at the Ellipse and bring my zip ties"? If you are trying to prove that Trump followers are obtuse, you are highly successful.

This is a civil trial, so no jail time.

I don't think it's very smart to support a candidate who is a defendant in a rape trial. Or a defendant who is charged with using his business to pay a porn star to shut up about a one night stand while his wife was pregnant. If you actually thought about it, you wouldn't support Trump.

The worse Trump looks, the more the Cult members launch insults about Joe Biden.

In other words, your internet masters haven't given you a talking point to cover the specific allegations by Jack Smith. Let me ask you this: who told the Proud Boys and other militia groups about the plan to storm the Capitol?

I will defer to Jack Smith, who has the goods on Trump. Stay tuned.

New Hampshire is make or break for Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis. If they don't come close, they are done.

So, I am lounging in Copacabana, Brazil, part of 6 months outside of Thailand, wondering if there is an update on whether I will be required to file Thai income tax next year.

Iran is lobbing missiles into 3 different countries.

There was talk about an Iranian spy ship in the area. The question is how to make that spy ship go away?

Can you remind me who was president in 2020?

Nah, all it will take is for Trump to lose again.

Under Harris, the US Border Patrol has caught more illegals than Trump did. Trump was just no good at stopping illegals.

https://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=53370 Khayyam is in a 97 degree orbit at ~500 km. That's sun synchronous. Why would anyone use a sun synchronous orbit? For consistent solar illumination of domestic targets. All US earth resources satellites use sun synchronous orbits.

I can't comment on Trump's health, but it is possible that he will be a convicted felon by November. Even so, his base won't care.

Has Trump ever won more than 50% of the vote in a general election? What's going to change in 2024?

I don't blame Trump for very everything wrong. There are just 91 crimes he committed.

There was no Russia hoax. What makes you think there was? How many felony convictions would convince you there was cooperation with the Russians?

Do you believe that the Special Counsel is making it up, as well?

This satellite is insufficient to track ships passing through a small area. The satellite is in a sun-sychronous orbit, which means it follows the terminator between sunrise/sunset (or vice versa). So if a ship is traveling at night, or mid-day, the satellite can't see it. I'm not sure if the Iranians have a global tracking ground station network, and if not, even if the satellite were passing over a ship in the Red Sea, Iran might not know. Iran could put a ground station in Yemen, but the US would probably knock that out first. Update: Iran says that it inly has ground stations in Iran, and that the satellite is only used over Iran.

You seem unaware of maritime insurance costs.

There is a marine tracking system called AIS, which is used for tracking ships. I suspect ships passing near Yemen turn off their AIS. This raises the question of how the Houthis are tracking ships over the horizon.
