excerpt:

"The president was enraged," Esper recalled. "He thought that the protests made the country look weak, made us look weak and 'us' meant him. And he wanted to do something about it.

"We reached that point in the conversation where he looked frankly at [Joint Chiefs of Staff] Gen. [Mark] Milley and said, 'Can't you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?' ... It was a suggestion and a formal question. And we were just all taken aback at that moment as this issue just hung very heavily in the air."

 

I would LOVE to see Trump try to debate Obama.

excerpt:

"Because at this point, of course, this foursome that once constituted a front against Trump now is in effect a reliable part of Trump’s team. Gowdy, a former prosecutor, now a former member of Congress, currently a Fox News host, has defended him post-conviction. Haley, even after making the most durable case to GOP voters that they could move past Trump by switching to her, stated last month her intent to vote for him — to which Trump responded he was “sure” she’d be involved “in some form” in a would-be second Trump term. Scott and Rubio are on a short list of potential vice presidents willing and angling to serve him. Scott, who also tried to run against Trump, called the New York trial a “hoax” and “sham” and the justice system the “injustice” system."

 

A political, intellectual, and moral vacuum.

It's part of why Trump supporters and others are so frustrated with life.

It's an emptiness that the U.S. society as a whole has developed that is symbolized by Trump's empty soul.

Perhaps the answer is to buy some body spray that is being sold by the very wealthy boxer who is endorsing Trump. Or buying Trump perfume. Or Trump superhero trading cards. Or $400 golden sneakers.

Trump-related indictments in Wisconsin.


Criminal charges in GOP’s fake elector scandal reach new heights

excerpt:

"The Republican efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election were multifaceted, but among the strikingly partisan tactics was the fake electors scheme: GOP officials and operatives in key states created forged election materials and sent the documents to, among others, the U.S. Senate and the U.S. Archivist, as if the materials were legitimate. They were not.

Though the relevant players didn’t know it at the time, the controversy has become one of the most consequential political scandals in a generation, racking up indictment totals unseen since Watergate and Iran-Contra.

That total is still growing. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported this morning that Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has filed felony forgery charges against three officials from Donald Trump’s 2020 team."

 

In Trump World:

criminal is law-abiding
corruption is virtue
disgrace is honor
attackers are victims
evil is good
rash is disciplined
arrogance is humility
hate is love

Many don't care what it is or isn't. They just love Trump.

A woman at one of Trump's rally said happily, "I just love that man!"

 

Sen. Tim Scott said it on stage to Trump with a big smile on his face in January 2024: "I just love you!"

A year of elections in democracies around the world is revealing deep dissatisfaction among voters

excerpt:

"As half the world's population votes in elections this year, voters are in a foul mood. From South Korea to Poland to Argentina, incumbents have been ousted in election after election. In just the last week, voters in South Africa who are reeling from deep poverty, inequality and unemployment handed a historic defeat to the African National Congress, which lost its parliamentary majority for the first time since apartheid ended 30 years ago. In Latin America alone, leaders and their parties had lost 20 elections in a row until this past weekend's presidential election in Mexico, according to a tally by Steven Levitsky, a Harvard professor of government.

The dynamic is likely to repeat itself as the European Union launches its legislative elections this week, where conservative populist parties are expected to register gains across the continent. EU parliamentary elections are usually an opportunity for voters in individual countries to vent their frustrations because the candidates they elect will have power in Brussels rather than their own national capitals. In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called elections for later this summer in which his party is expected to struggle."

 

How to watch the US presidential debates – and why they are pivotal

excerpt:

"The first debate will be held at CNN’s studios at Atlanta in the swing state of Georgia.

‌There will be no live audience at June’s debate, which will be moderated by CNN’s chief political correspondent Dana Bash and lead Washington anchor Jake Tapper.

‌The lack of audience is a break with tradition which was specifically requested by Mr Biden’s team.

‌Mr Trump said that Biden was “supposedly afraid of crowds” and said he would prefer a live audience as “it’s just more exciting”.

‌The candidates’ microphones will be deactivated when it is the other’s turn to speak, another request from the Biden team. This follows the first 2020 forum where the conversation was dogged by the candidates’ interruptions and cutting-across."

 

Trump is now contending that he didn't say Hillary should go to jail.


https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/02/poli...alse-claim-lock-up-hillary-clinton/index.html

excerpts:

“Hillary Clinton has to go to jail, OK? She has to go to jail,” he said in a June 2016 speech in California. “She has to go to jail,” he repeated in an October 2016 speech in Florida. And at a presidential debate in October 2016, after Clinton said, “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country,” Trump responded, “Because you’d be in jail.”


"You should lock her up, I’ll tell you,” he said at a January 2020 rally in Ohio. At an October 2020 rally in Georgia, after the crowd chanted “lock them up” in relation to the Biden family, Trump said, “You should lock them up. Lock up the Bidens. Lock up Hillary.”

 

Three of Trump's operatives in Wisconsin have been indicted for their quest to steal the 2020 election from Biden.

Add that to the intro for Trump at the RNC convention in Wisconsin.


Criminal charges in GOP’s fake elector scandal reach new heights

excerpt:

"The charges are filed in Dane County Circuit Court against Kenneth Chesebro, a Wisconsin native and lead architect of the 2020 fake elector plan; former Dane County Judge Jim Troupis, who represented Trump in Wisconsin during the 2020 election; and Mike Roman, a former Trump aide who allegedly delivered Wisconsin’s slate of false elector paperwork to a Pennsylvania congressman’s staffer in order to get them to Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 6, 2021."

 

Idiots

 

Donald Duck is already talking about hanging people from lamp posts, and radical right wingers beat her husband with a ball peen hammer, and the best she can do is request an "Intervention" from the same fucking lynch mob!

 

“Trump has indicated that he might lose on purpose” sounds just like when he said back in 2016, that if he loses the election, the election is rigged.

 

Trump's handlers must have a terrible time when they have to keep informing him of his ongoing verbal mistakes.

 

Heads I win, Tails you lose. Duuuuh--ok---I'll take them-there odds.
