Killfiled for the 143rd time.

- We should elect Putin our next leader.

No need. He's already running the show.

Report is he rushed through an 18 min speech from the teleprompter... and lied about both the economy and making peace in 8 countries. Among other things, I'm sure.

Misogynist much? Mom neglect you, did she?

"U.S. would be "lucky" if Trump serves "even longer," White House says

The White House said the U.S. would be "lucky" to have President Trump remain in office for a longer period, after lawyer Alan Dershowitz told the Wall Street Journal he shared a draft of his new book exploring the possibility of a third presidential term.

So... you are saying we should not elect you Queen?

From the thread link:

"The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Trump was told by Alan Dersowitz
that constitutionality of a third term is unclear.

Apparently, Durowitz has a new book coming out soon with the title of could President Trump constitutionally serve a third term in which it
lays out a host of scenarios for which he could do just that. Duritz gave Trump a draft copy of
the book.

The image you see here is from Amazon and the book is scheduled for release in March
of 2026.

So for those out there who think that Donald Trump is simply not going to serve a third
term because the Constitution prevents him from doing so, the writing is on the wall. He and his
hardcore supporters are going to find a way for him to run for a third term."

that was already

I'm purging no one... your comparison is silly. I noted a FACT about what most people think of first when they see a certain symbol in regards to modern references.

Sad.

I was going to offer you a shovel, but I see that you have a pretty funny one already.

How 'bout this, I'll tell you how brilliant you are for constantly pointing out something that already well-understood by most of us here, and you can just nod your head in agreement.

"The Trump administration is asking U.S. oil companies if they're interested in returning to Venezuela once leader Nicols Maduro is gone, four people familiar with the discussions told POLITICO.

And so far, the answer is a hard "no."

- used by many millions of people of different faiths around the world.

Who are not 'most people', as I said.

And you pretending that most people here don't know that, 'millions of people of different faiths around the world' also use this symbol... is just more laughable hubris from you.

One can always hope. He may want to save it for right before the ACA runs out. Or right before Jack Smith's testimony to his J6 and Docs theft comes out... oops, maybe that's what this is about?

Or until Maxwell's attempt to get a reversal or a Pardon fails, and she decides to get rich.

One can safely assume that most people in the world will equate a swastika to Nazi Germany before they do older origins, and usually they will be correct concerning modern references.

Now, I know that many years ago you thought it was clever to note here that not everyone knows it's origins and other uses, other than yourself... which many people here did already know... but it got REALLY boring to read this sort of self-congratulations after the first decade or so.

I'm not going to watch him 'weave' lies for an hour to find out; I'm with Bro Paul on that.

If he does, we'll hear about it... and it might be the last straw for some people.

Short vid/Transcript

"Today is Wednesday, December 17th, and tonight at 900 p.m., President Donald Trump is scheduled to
address the nation. Trump announced this on X yesterday, talking about how it's been a great
year for our country and the best is yet to come.

He did not have a corresponding announcement on Truth Social, but did have a rather lengthy statement about Venezuela that was clearly threatening the country, but he also made a strange reference to how oil, land, and other must be returned to the United States."

"In addition to Trump's threatening post on Truth Social yesterday, in which he said that Venezuela's oil belongs to us, we also had the very likable and charismatic Steven Miller echoing that claim.

Miller said, "American sweat, ingenuity, and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property. These pillaged assets were then used to fund terrorism and flood our streets with killers, mercenaries, and drugs."

It is statements like these that lead some people to speculate that Trump is going to announce that America is going to war against Venezuela."

''

"And even Tucker Carlson made a statement that he was told by a congressman that war is coming. Here's what he said.

"I don't know answer. I've certainly been on the phone a lot about it. I have no power. I'm a podcaster, but I'm very interested. Um, and so here's what I know so far, which is that members of Congress were briefed yesterday that a war is coming and it'll be announced in the address
to the nation tonight at 9:00 by the president. So, that is where we stand right now."

Huh.

The Star of David is a Swastika backwards! - Sentinel

The swastika became a worldwide hate symbol in the 1930s and 40s after it was used by Hitler's Nazis.

That's history, and it's not going to change. Neither will the fact that it was previously not a hate symbol.... which matters not as much in recent contexts.

Yeah, I know, right?

Trumpers are most often too incompetent to do what they think needs to be done... which is pretty much their only saving grace.

"On Tuesday, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released a batch of internal FBI emails leading up to the August 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago.

In one email, written weeks before the search, an agent wrote that the FBI's Washington field office did not believe that probable cause existed to search the property.

;;

"BUT Republicans who trumpeted the emails as proof that the Biden Justice Department was out to get Trump OMITTED THE FACT that agents who later searched the property reported finding boxes of classified, even top-secret, documents. In addition, the then-head of the Washington field office has testified to Congress that by the time of the search, the FBI believed probable caused existed to do it."

Great article, well worth the whole read.

"Multiple prior Justice Department special counsels, including Robert Mueller, have testified publicly but Smith was summoned for just a private interview.

Several Democrats who emerged from Smith's interview said they could understand why Republicans did not want an open hearing based on the damaging testimony about Trump they said Smith offered.

The committee's top Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, said the Republican majority "made an excellent decision" in not allowing Jack Smith to testify publicly "because had he done so, it would have been absolutely devastating to the president and all the president's men involved in the insurrectionary activities" of the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021."

"But Republicans who trumpeted the emails as proof that the Biden Justice Department was out to get Trump omitted the fact that agents who later searched the property reported finding boxes of classified, even top-secret, documents.

In addition, the then-head of the Washington field office has testified to Congress that by the time of the search, the FBI believed probable caused existed to do it."

Release the Smith Testimony!!

"Maxwell, 63, was convicted in 2021 -- after a three-week trial in Manhattan federal court -- of five felonies, including conspiracy, transportation of a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity and sex trafficking of a minor. A higher court rejected her post-trial appeals, and the Supreme Court declined to take up her case."

--

"Maxwell's newly filed petition presents a possible wrinkle in the long-running controversy. The Epstein Files Transparency Act contains exemptions permitting Attorney General Pam Bondi to withhold certain records if their publication could jeopardize active criminal investigations or prosecutions.

Last week, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer granted a DOJ motion to lift restrictions on grand jury transcripts and other nonpublic records from the case, citing the requirement of the newly passed legislation.

An attorney for Maxwell had argued that public disclosure of those materials would impact her ability to get a fair retrial if she were to succeed in her bid for a new trial."

Well, now we know what Trump's Personal/WH lawyers were spending all that time at Club Fed plotting with her about.

But personally, with her Qualifications/Criminal History, I think she's prolly eventually gonna end up in the Cabinet or heading the FBI.

S'trewth!
