    Trump has used the persecution ploy repeatedly for himself and his followers. Now it's for Putin.

    Putin should run Fox TV in Russia all the time, if he isn't already. With people like Tucker Carlson, it would be one of the best promotions for himself, about as good as state-run TV.

    Carlson recently praised Putin by saying he never violated his rights.

    Trump's jet has been mothballed since he took office.

    He's trying to make it seem like it was active all of the time and only recently went in for a routine maintenance for 90 days.

    A long time is being spent trying to refurbish it because wasn't used and it is an outdated jet. The parts are becoming more difficult to find and expensive.

    He left it sit in a corrosion-prone environment for years. It would have been better to either have someone else use it or store it in a place like Arizona.

    The jet Trump was using that experienced the engine failure on the way back to Mar-a-Lago wasn't Trump's jet. It was an aircraft that a donor let Trump use.

    Trump seems to be using the engine failure as a ploy to try to convince his supporters to send him money to buy him a new plane. Trump made the request right after the engine failure incident.

    Sounds similar to the ploy used by TV evangelist Oral Roberts who told his followers to send him money before the end of the month or God would call him home.

    Okay... I'll bite.

    If it's ready to fly, have somebody take you up in it. After the crash we can say it was fake news.

    When Trump dies, it will be like Elvis. His followers will be saying it was fake and they saw him at gas stations and McDonald's.

    Sure, that's a rational question. Ten minutes after pushing the button, it's Armageddon.

    Actually a nuclear exchange is 22 minutes, but it wouldn't be verified until 18 minutes in.

    So that's 4 minutes to kiss your ass goodbye.

    Nobody is going to give a warning, though.

    Wife of Clarence Thomas admits to attending Trump rally at Ellipse on Jan. 6.


    Ginni Thomas, wife of Clarence Thomas, says she went to rally Jan. 6

    excerpt:

    "Ginni Thomas told the newspaper for a story published Monday that she was in the crowd at the Ellipse near the White House but that she went home before Trump spoke because it was cold.

    “I was disappointed and frustrated that there was violence that happened following a peaceful gathering of Trump supporters on the Ellipse on Jan. 6,” Thomas told the Free Beacon. “There are important and legitimate substantive questions about achieving goals like electoral integrity, racial equality and political accountability that a democratic system like ours needs to be able to discuss and debate rationally in the political square. I fear we are losing that ability.”"

    If she's concerned about democracy and wants to discuss it rationally, she shouldn't be attending Trump rallies that incite an insurrection.

    If she feels that way, she should be publicly criticizing Trump's rhetoric at the rally and his dereliction of letting the riot continue for hours.

    As Liz Cheney takes on Trump, Republican donors line up behind her - CNNPolitics

    excerpt:

    "So many people RSVP'd yes that Monday's event was moved to another, larger venue. The Kilbergs finally had to cap the list of co-hosts when it hit 75.

    The donor interest isn't all for Cheney's reelection bid for her House seat in Wyoming. More than two full years before the 2024 election, Cheney is emerging as the anti-Trump champion, and plenty of Republicans are glad to see it.

    "We are moving beyond Donald Trump," Bobbie Kilberg told CNN. "Enough, already. Enough's enough.""
