Like Biden, there isn't a whole lot the POTUS can actually do about inflation for most cases. Turnip's part in this is the tariffs that made everything more expensive for the manufactures and the public. He can't accept fault so he gaslights. Only thing is the consumer isn't fooled anytime they have to buy something. It can't be hidden by claiming otherwise. This one is a loosing battle and he had only to look at Biden's attempts at this to see it.

Turnip has focused on Democratic cities in placing ICE, holding up funding (which he constantly loses in court), placing blame, and attempting to dilute the vote into his favor. He'll no more accept the vote outcome this midseason than he accepted his loss at the polls to Biden. Everyone was tired of the chaos he constantly stirred up and nothing has changed in that except for how brutal it's become. Voters looked for anyone that wasn't Turnip, just to end it. We are looking at the same thing all over again, come midseason elections.

Somewhere I blundered into this image last year so I was aware of the orange visible from the corner. So many important cameras being down, is just too much for coincidence. Sheets laying around the cell is a bit suspicious as well. Add to it a clumsy investigation, a poorly done coroner's job, it looks like a bad conspiracy setup. But once in a while it isn't conspiracy. Just because you think they are after you, doesn't mean you are wrong.

Sometime before Epstein's death, Ghislaine made the comment that Epstein wasn't prone to suicide, though it was worded a bit differently. Then came the suicide watch, followed later by his death. Almost like she suspected something would happen to him. There were reports that the injury did not match the stated cause of death.

Personally I think he had too much evidence on too many powerful people and one or more of them decided he should be taken off the board.

Horse hockey. It is very obvious what he said and even more importantly why. He's trying to control the vote. He's not wanting the whole nation under this, only democrat areas. That in itself tells you just what he is attempting.

Trying to make it out as something else, is typical of this administration's attempts at lying to cover up intent.

Iran has always sent their delegates not to solve things but to stretch them out, demand stuff that will never pass, and generally gum up the works. Normally they are not serious about negotiation.

Iran has funded terrorism around the world. It's part of the reason why it's citizens are in such dire straights. It's time to cut the purse strings to all these terrorism groups.

Not at all. Politicians should work to actually make a budget, passed bipartisan. It's been 28 years since that has happened. They've been doing CR along the way, fighting wars on the credit card. Suddenly they see the bill coming due. Their solutions have been to run the money printing presses, making money less valuable, and increasing taxes. However, our citizens are not getting what they are paying for. It seems the wealthy are getting that.

We can't afford all the government we are getting, without adults in the room willing to control the pocketbook. The idea that Republicans are all for being budget conscious when the Dems control the majority but seem to throw that out the window when they have the majority. It usually winds up that the Repubs have run up the deficit and it takes the Dems to reduce it some. Neither party is doing the public favors increasing the purchasing power of the dollar bill.

Turnip knows he and his party are in serious trouble. The only way they can win and hold on to their seats is through election shenanigans. This is the start of that attempt to alter voting so it becomes in favor of them. There is no way this should pass and go unnoticed by the public.

The complete facts will never come out, at least not in an unbiased way. At the federal level, if data that doesn't support their Gestapo tactics, it will be altered or slanted in such a way as to support the actions, not the legality of it.

Were I the lady in question, I'd be concerned too. I'd fear it was an attempt at kidnapping. There is nothing in this article that suggests they were LEO of any sort. With masks on, tags saying police can be bought anywhere and sown on, it does not make one the police. They have run after the check so that there's no proof this happened so they can't be held accountable for the medical bills and damage done.

Turnip is becoming the Republicans kryptonite. There will be fewer and fewer that want his association with their campaign. So he will have less and less effect on candidates until the result is loosing races.

That's what will lead to civil war!

No, what will lead to civil war is uncalled for killings. Most use the word 'murder'. The protestors aren't the ones with the guns doing the shooting...yet. If it keeps up with these shootings, the other side is sure to eventually follow.

And why might he be doing that?

The Insurrection Act allows US combat troops on American streets.

252. Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority

Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.

They are all cutting jobs to increase profitability. Question in my mind is what happens when a labor strike happens or a cyberattack takes out the computer/AI end of it all? Usually during a labor strike, the management steps up to hold things down and keep stuff running. Without the management there, which are one group being focused on firing, how long will they be able to keep the doors open during such an event? I doubt it will be possible as this trend progresses.

Turnip says he wants a full investigation into the Alex Pretti murder. The trouble with that is Turnip and his administration have already shown they can't be trusted. They have continually lied throughout the entire year his administration has held their posts. They have burned whatever good will and belief in the government will do the right thing, can be trusted, or be unbiased, by the public perception as well as local, state, and federal judges. So far the SCOTUS has leaned long and hard towards the administration and in the process they too have burned a lot of the belief in even handed justice.

The only way the public will believe the investigation was done by the facts and not by political influence and demands, is for an outside investigator. Even there it will be a tough call to show it was done by facts. The public's trust has degraded that far.

This is exactly the wrong thing to demand from Turnip. I am sure it will bring people to protests with guns, just to say they disagree. I can not envision the SCOTUS saying you can't, given the 2nd amendment, not to mention state laws that allow it. As usual, Turnip is all for those things that support him, such as proud boy protests with guns, yet against it when it is against him. You can't have it both ways.

What advertisers actually think this an effective method to make people want to buy stuff?

You can always do what I do, anything I see in ads, that is the last thing I will buy if there is another product that will do the job. That is the exact opposite of what is sought after with advertising. They've become so blatant with ads on the internet, it has partially ruined the net and is headed for the same treatment as tv, which they totally ruined. Now-a-days, tv shows are merely vehicles to serve you ads. If you don't like these ads, then refuse to buy the product/service that has been advertised.

A forth term? Everyone is already looking at his health and rightfully his age, even though MSM isn't so much talking about it, like they did Biden. It's doubtful he'll make it to a fourth term. Natural causes will likely lead to his death, before it gets to that point in time.

Voters must make this happen...

There are three long years yet before that occurs, if it occurs. In my mind the first step will be the Insurrection put into effect. Which will jar the country enough for mass protests across the nation. That in turn will bring out martial law which will likely be in effect come time to vote. Demanding citizens stay home will probably be the next step, meaning no vote will take place.

Despite all his buffoonery, he can read the tea leaves and already there are a few in his administration as well as party telling him things aren't looking so good. He has already acknowledged should congress change hands he knows impeachment efforts will come again. In an effort to prevent the already low opinions that some voters have going lower, he has petitioned the court not to release the Jack Smith report and to keep it sealed, not to mention you'll notice the Epstein files are no where to be seen, despite a law already broken, requiring their release. It is not by accident these events are happening.

He's waiting on the windfall from Mexico paying for the wall.

Well that didn't work in this household. My lady doesn't care for football. I rarely watch tv.

that's 3000 less sexual assault criminals and rapist / murderers.

I have one response to that, where are the Epstein files?

It is events just such as this that tell me self-driving is not ready for prime time. There was another among the many, who was stuck in a round about. It took him calling the company to get the vehicle to stop traveling the round about. Call me old school but I am not ready for this. I know that while I'm in control of my vehicle it's not going to do such.

One of Turnip's main priorities has always been to limit the press or have it support him totally. Look what's happened to our MSM. They are scared crapless over the idea he might take them to court for millions of dollars in damages. It's basically a threat to their survival as a news organization if they don't toe the line. The result leads to George Orwell's ideas expressed in his book. I no longer believe most of what I read in the news from domestic sources. They are already too far gone.

I suspect Mother Jones is in for a long wait. Anything to do with the Epstein files is on the slow lane, law or no law. Even if the law is met, I'd be willing to say there are files that will not be exposed to the light of day for reasons other than protecting the victims. If the administration was serious about the release of these files, it would long ago have been done.

This is Turnip pulling strings in the background where he's not seen to be doing it, preventing the release. There is a reason he put in to place syncopaths with loyalty as the first requirement over competence. It will take putting Bondi under charges for breaking the law in addition to personal fines, to get any serious results. Even then, Turnip's henchmen are expected to fall on their swords for him. No such loyalty is returned from Turnip.

This has been Turnip's goal. To go with the Insurrection Act. It allows the military to bypass the Posse Comitatus Act and put military on the streets.

He can declare martial law but it's never been used to stop an election. It's not been tested under those circumstances. The law does say that the president has no say in elections, that it is up to states and the federal to control elections. What worries me in this is the "it's not been tested". Anyone that has seen what Turnip will go to in length knows he will use whatever vague law he can find to weasel into or out of whatever it is he seeks or if there is a gap the law leaves vague, he will seek to use that to his advantage.

It took no wizard to figure out when people start getting shot, protests come out. As it is ratchetted up, so to do the protests. You can pretty much bet this was done on purpose to all him to use the Insurrection Act. That's been the plan all along. I suspect in some way, he will seek to limit the election, make it far tougher for voting to occur, or perhaps, demand that citizens stay home under martial law, not allowing them to vote. It won't be said it's about blocking the vote but that will be the aim.

I call to your attention that all this pretty much is happening in only the Democrat run cities, with the exception of Louisiana who requested ICE's appearance. To me it looks more like Louisiana was the exception only to say it's not all Democratic run cities. By far the majority of actions have been in the blue states. Blocking the vote by demanding citizens stay off the streets would mean no opposition voting.

I can no longer trust nor believe national news. They are all protecting their bottom lines from Turnip's court cases. So they put bias in that removes the threat of Turnip taking them to court. It sounds like a small thing but in reality, your news just got filtered to say things instead of giving you the straight facts. I'm starting to view BBC more and major news media far, far, less.

When I was first drafted into the Army, KP was still a detail to be preformed. The cooks were military as well. Before I had gotten out, it had went all volunteer. At that time KP was reserved for the field but in billets, civilians preformed cook duties as well as KP.
