I can't believe we'll have another election until Trump is sure the fix is in. He'll do whatever to create the need for the Insurrection Act, including lying to justify it. Once it is activated, you can kiss elections goodbye. He'll move heaven and earth to keep the Epstein files buried. According to some reports, he's in photos with two naked to the waist young girls, which were in Epstein's safe. The FBI had to go back and retrieve them.

Pam Bondi refused to answer if the FBI had found those photos or if she had seen them. In otherwords, she didn't perjure herself. She just refused to answer the question and tried attacking the questioners to avoid the question the first time she was asked, the second time she just looked at them without response. While not admission, it's a strong hint as to why Trump doesn't want the Epstein files to surface.

You mean he didn't chose an enema of bleach or a UV light up the butt?

You mean the media is just now figuring this out?

All you need do is look for where Trump has had his fingers in deals to see, it is to line his family and his own pockets. It's consistent.

why is Pres Trump so focused upon invoking the Insurrection Act without any real reason to do so?

That's an easy one to answer. If he can claim Insurrection, he can delay or eliminate the upcoming vote. Because if he doesn't delay it the writing is on the wall, that he will lose the majority in the two branches he needs to back him up on his insane actions.

Democrats can end the shut-down at any time they want.

So can the Republicans. As it is the Republicans can't be trusted. They've had two years to straighten it out but instead have ignored Democrats input totally. Now they can't ignore it.

The Republicans have lied, stolen funds that were already allocated for projects by denying the spending, and put tons of misdirections out, like the idea that the Democrats want to include immigrants in the social security and medicare. That's a bald faced lie as they can not get that without being a citizen across the nation with the exception of California who does not use national funds but rather state funds.

By the polls the Republicans are on the losing end of this by voter opinions. The only way Trump will be able to keep a majority in all three branches is by activating the troops to guard the polls, allowing only his people to count the votes.

Of course the Republicans are all for shutting off funding. That's the point of this administration. Cruelty is their game. However they can create more problems for the middle and lower class, the better they like it.

Trump is trying to create the need to use the Insurrection Act. He needs this done before November 4 when the elections happen. He knows he'll lose the majority of Congress if he doesn't. Most likely his idea will be for his people to count the ballots, with a thumb on the scale, of course.

Both the history of voting which usually goes against the party in power as well as the majority of the polls indicate he won't have the majority after the election, meaning that he'll have far more trouble doing whatever he wants to do unchecked.

Hence the reason he is preparing the public with the announcement he's considering the Insurrection Act. Facts haven't mattered so much with Trump. He has no troubles with lying and it seems the party supporting him has no troubles with it either.

Likely this will be the reason that puts enough pressure on politicians to discover something called compromise. It used to be on display a lot in the halls of congress but in today's world, it's a rare critter to find.

Corporations will dislike the ability to move their people across the nation to do the business they need done. Through the back doors of communications the congress critters will receive notices that their campaign contributions will be in danger if they don't get their act together and restore the government's budget. It was the spur that provided the necessity to cure this problem last time the government was shut down.

Trump has been well known for lying and misdirection. His first term raised employment by all mass media needing fact checkers that had to be hired. Between lies and misleading claims, his first term was peppered by 30,573 by some accounts. He's not changed and he isn't tracking any better this term.

Project 2025 tracker website has been keeping track of what he's accomplished during this term. You can go see for yourself, it's not been a one day effort to set up this website. The goals are pretty much right down the line as to what has been done and what's left to be done, and how much towards fulfillment each has progressed.

If you are just waking up to this then you owe it to yourself to go look. Trump has been following it all along.

As usual, those that buy his talk and not his actions, continue to be fooled.

Trump has them pretty much all the main stream media cowed. Even if they win a $15 billon dollar law suit, it puts their finances in jeopardy just to fight off the government prosecutors/lawyers.

Have you not noticed how MSM dances around the Trump issues? Their wording is very careful. Then there is the Colbert and Kendal affairs. Both owners trying to obtain merger approval, knowing they have to kiss the butt of Trump for the ok.

These are reasons I no longer trust MSM. They've rolled over just like big law firms did. If they won't stand up for themselves, how can I believe them?

The answer is, I don't.

Not there any more, it was removed this morning.
