AFP- postpones first rally since his trial began, due to bad weather

@GottaLaff More like due to schedule conflict with high dollar donors in Palm Beach. Nonsense doesn’t want to go out in bad weather to see his base.

@drupalchix @CosmicTraveler IBM has experienced the same problem for the past 4 decades. It morphed from a company focused on engineering technology to being a financial manipulation company that happened to be in the technology space.

At this point, just direct Trump supporters to send their donations directly to E. Jean Carroll

@flexghost Take him back to court for increased penalties until he feels the impact. If the $83M (plus interest if appealed) hasn’t caused him to stop, just keep him tied up in court and keep doubling the penalties until he stops or goes to prison.

@LindaCollins11 @FrankFrank His faithfulness to Putin ends as soon as Putin is done with him as a useful idiot to Putin’s ambitions. As soon as the stroking stops, Trump will be on to another someone that strokes his ego.

Putin, Trump's puppetmaster, required Trump eliminate the information and obtain the file for his (Putin's) review. I'm surmizingvthis is what happened. It could have been a direct handover or more likely through an intermediary such as Meadows. https://zirk.us/@JamesGleick/111585231420885760

    @GhostOnTheHalfShell @academicchatter @economics@a.gup.pe I don’t think the billionaires hate us. It’s more likely they can’t “see” us for their own narcissism. They act from near term financial maximization without caring about societal impacts. It’s all about “what’s in it for me now!”

    As always with Trump, he lied about the American hostage return agreement with Iran:

    • The $6 billion was Iranian oil revenues held up by sanctions.
    • it was held in Korean banks
    • it is to be transferred to Qatar to administer
    • it has not been released
    • it is not American tax $$
    • Iran has been funding and assisting Hamas for over a year to prepare for the terrorist attack https://mastodon.social/@br00t4c/111208297732618859

    Trump brain failures that should be widely known.

    1. Forgets Obama is not Biden
    2. Confuses people with roles and names, switches names and situations
    3. Forgets timelines. So badly believes he didn’t lose the election, believes he was in office and made impacts when he was not involved.
    4. Made up his statement that Mexico would “pay for the wall”. It never did. Trump paid for what work was done. He also wants to use “special forces” to fight drug cartels.

    Now he may try to cover his $464 civil fraud award against him by selling shares of the new company. He didn’t invest anything in the company but owns 80 million shares, currently projected to be worth $3B. The venture has been losing $$ millions. Investors will continue losing money as Trump takes their invested $$ to pay his penalties and lifestyle maintenance, falsifying his projection of success to his working class base.

    Trump is not smart enough to be a foreign spy. He is more likely a fool used by sophisticated foreign entities as a useful idiot. And yes, he should be treated as a traitor to the U.S. https://mastodon.social/@newsopinionsandviews/111186403462347304

    In an ethics class at my Jesuit undergrad school I was informed that "the Ends justify the Means" is not a legitimate rationale. It would seem that the behavior of the evangelical community associating with the GOP demonstrates this as fact. https://sfba.social/@skykiss/111744810332388274

    Of course he will create a national abortion ban if he is elected. Everyone knows he is a liar when his lips are moving, and especially on a video where he is expected to stick to a script (and couldn’t even do that correctly). The christofascist puppet masters will force his hand and force additional anti-women EOs, legislation, and SCOTUS replacements. https://mastodon.sdf.org/@AmandaMarcotte/112240733481029065

    “The hiring of Ronna McDaniel disrespects NBC’s news viewers who care about truth and integrity, while disrespecting MSNBC viewers who care about authenticity, conviction and integrity.”

    As a viewer, I implore all viewers to respect your own integrity and boycott every show where McDaniel is present.

    Putin’s narcissistic profile is clearly described here. Very destructive to all but himself. The profile also fits the former guy’s similar narcissistic behavior, even as tfg is submissive to Putin. Of the next steps to expect, also fit except that tfg isn’t intelligent enough to understand the impact that nuclear war would cause to his base. They need admirers. Putin understands but tfg can’t think deeply enough. TFG will always be subservient to Putin. Both know it.

    The USA Today article is thorough, exposing people in the US providing guns to the cartels, manufacturers and gun dealers shielded from reporting by US laws, the multitude of guns and the makes provided to the cartels. The good news is that the DOJ does have active cases open and new cases constantly being opened. Worth reading. https://kolektiva.social/@ddosecrets/112509570665824454

    Christian Nationalism is not good. The public schools should be teaching the American history including the formation of the country from the colonists, to the Declaration of Independence, to the revolution against the English monarchy, to the establishment of the Constitution, to the Bill of Rights. There is no place for Christian Nationalism as a thing. The only place for religion is as separate from the American governing principles and rule of law. https://mastodon.social/@br00t4c/112520656709785395
