Hi Folks,

Re:  federal law enforcement also announced charges against an Iraqi man accused of casting a ballot in the 2020 election

Trump's DOJ focuses in on voter fraud, with help from DOGE : NPR

I am of the opinion that this is the first steps to having Trump's gov't overturn the 2020 election.

He still tries to argue that he won in 2020. 

Now, only a fool would believe him.  But, Trump is too thin-skinned to ever admit a defeat.

Wouldn’t that make him ineligible for the term he is serving now?

Hi Ken,

In the world that you & I live in?  Yes.

In Trump's world; who in the hell knows.

Yesterday:

Senator Maggie Hassan: “Secretary Noem, what is habeas corpus?” 

Kristi Noem: “Well, habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country.” 

================

Carl Sagan, 1990:

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy . . . when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.”

Yep, the perfect breeding ground for wanna be autocrats. Even if the US is able to turn this around a bit in the next decade or so it seems forgone that an undemocratic world is the future: you can't make the electorate dumb and then expect them to participate smartly.

Israel has the iron dome, Trump needs to be better so his version is the “golden dome”.

Has anyone told him that gold isn’t the ideal material for strength against an attack? Surely you could pick a better name for a program? Mind you stealth aircraft are useless because they’re not pretty…

Gold PLATED, not solid gold.  Same crap, but with a micron-thick layer of gold applied.

I think it was Big Daddy Roth who said "If it don't go, chrome it." Trump takes that advice with a gram or two of gold.

Agreed.

After all, this is pretty much how most of my family photos look.
There are so many things that are so fucked up about this picture, even outside of the cringe inducingly tasteless decor.
Barrons toy cars being mostly stretch limos, Melania either farting hard or they have a really strong fan just out of shot, the list goes on.

 Hilarious, Go get yourself a copy of "Original Sin" by Jake Tapper.LOL

Now that the election game is over MSM has decided to come out with a tell all of 0bama's third term. We know Biden was never there.  The Hur report was political according to Shifty Schiff so you weren't supposed to believe it. 

Finally, you can know what the American People knew all along.I'd say they knew something you were conveniently supposed to overlook.

Almost like they wanted to lead us by the nose tell us not to believe our lying eyes.

  But that would make us cattle.

Here's today's absurd Trump fantasy. Probably no one told him it was the evil Sith who carried Red Light Sabres. What a tool.

  ROLMAO

Joe thanks for the humor again, I'll agree the color and the profile is all wrong,He should have a face tat like Mike tyson  and a stubby Ear like Holyfield. Now that was a fight, a classic fight, fight for the ages lol

On the color thing, it may be subliminal messaging for those with the TDS, making those synth monsters for tonights nightmares.  Hopefully an EO will  be signed soon so  we can change the color of the political parties,sound amicable?

Add a blue sword to that reprint.

The Pope humor kept me smiling for a couple days and found this strange name.

funny man and those funny polls.Hate to brake it to you, But the poorly educated know exactly how correct the "polls " are.

I'd like to know the make up of those polled,I'll wager a mistake was make. The one learneded the the first day of statistics. If your first thought is confirmation bias you'd be close.

Didn’t the poorly educated try and overthrow a legitimately elected government because the election results weren’t as favourable to them as the polls had suggested? 
 

I guess they’ve forgotten about that already. After all, they are poorly educated.

Did you catch his spokes cobra lashing out at the black female reporter for having the temerity to point out Trumps lies about the crosses lining the road? We are an embarrassment and I don't see it getting better.

The poorly educated reject anything that messes with their preconceptions.  A woman pilot?  She must suck!  And if she's done well - she was promoted because she was a woman!

A poll that disagrees with my biases?  It must be WRONG!

The better educated can better comprehend both poll results and actual competence.  And, of course, can spell.

Hi Bill,

Re:  she was promoted because she was a woman!

Oh, come on, Bill; we all know she was promoted because she screwed her way to the top.  I mean, they all do it.
