White House announces Putin agreed to bilateral meeting with Zelenskyy

Every Trumper here ignores about their Cult Leader what they whined incessantly about with the last President.... who they apparently think was named Joe Whataboutism.

"Kremlin plays down Zelensky talks as Trump warns Putin may not 'want to make deal'

The Kremlin has played down talk of an imminent summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky, as Donald Trump renewed his call for the two leaders to meet to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.

Trump admitted the conflict was "a tough one" to solve and conceded it was possible the Russian president was not interested in ending hostilities.

"We're going to find out about President Putin in the next couple of weeks," he said on Tuesday. "It's possible that he doesn't want to make a deal."

Also in large letters... "Defending the Homeland".

Which is just plain trolling now.

AI Overview

"Defending the Homeland" was a central theme in Nazi propaganda, particularly during World War II. It served to rally the German population by framing the war as a defensive effort against external threats and internal enemies.

This narrative, propagated through various media, aimed to instill a sense of national unity, patriotism, and a willingness to sacrifice for the "Fatherland".

Here's a breakdown of how this theme was utilized:

Thomas Jefferson Quotes About Democracy

The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite.

Thomas Jefferson

Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.

"The country is headed toward a single and splendid government of an aristocracy founded on banking institutions and moneyed incorporations and if this tendency continues it will be the end of freedom and democracy, the few will be ruling...

I hope we shall...crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our government to trial and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies."

- Thomas Jefferson

When this all goes to hell in the proverbial handbasket, it's not going to be the libs on these pages that are being beheaded in their Corporate HQ's, it's going to be the CEO's and the Bankers... you know, the Oligarchs that funded Trump's Far Right Populist White Nationalist Cult.

It's going to make the French Revolution look like patty cakes.

Loved Monterey in the early 80's. It was a great drive from where we lived near Stanford, either over to Half Moon Bay and down along the coast through Santa Cruz, or through great forests along the mountains on the windy backroads in the Alpha Romeo Spider.

I saw Rocky Horror, prolly in the little theatre in my college town in Texas. We thought it was hilarious, but we were pretty high. I've seen it since years ago, and it had held up well, but I don't know about now.

"In an X post on Tuesday, Gabbard confirmed reports of the action to revoke clearances, writing: "Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold."

THIS is the media narrative advantage of accusing the opposition of what you plan to do to them.

They cried, "Lawfare!", when their J6 and other crimes were investigated, loudly enough to say that now they get to take revenge.

When in the real world, there was little or NO lawfare against... for the OBVIOUS reason that he is guilty as sin on almost every count.

But these people are petty little B's, just like their Cult Leader.

AI Overview

While election fraud does occasionally occur in US elections, extensive research and studies have consistently shown it is not widespread and rarely affects election outcomes.

Here's what the evidence suggests:

Impact is minimal:

Even when instances of fraud are found, they are typically isolated incidents and do not affect the election's final results.

For example, an investigation found fewer than 475 potential instances of fraud in the 2020 election out of more than 25 million votes cast in battleground states

Trump asked how much we were charging the cat eating criminals for this free supplement!

Rudy G went around the swing states with big bags of money and lots of whacky videos purporting to show elections fraud... and was laughed out of literally dozens of Courts.

Which is why, of course, Trumpers buh-lieve there must have been election fraud!

"Transcript: Trump Lets Slip Dark Truth About His Plot to Rig Midterms

As Trump says too much while unveiling his new push to end mail voting, a leading expert on right-wing dirty tricks explains how Trump and the GOP hope to cheat and gerrymander their way to victory in the midterms.

Daley: Here we go again, right? This is all of Donald Trump's favorite lines about election fraud, about vote-by-mail, about how the 2020 election was stolen from him. And once again, all of these lines have no basis in reality. There is no truth to any of it.

Whenever Republicans are asked to put up any proof whatsoever about voter fraud, they can't do it. You can't find actual examples of this.

It is a technique to intimidate and to scare voters. I'm certain that we will see much more of it, but it comes from a place of weakness, of fear, and we have to stand up and fight this."

No need to... you are a self immolating sock. Always have been.

Which hostile 80's job market is what helped cause former hippies to 'sell out', cut their hair, buy a suit (become a suit), and let Reagan get away with murder.

Reagan being the revenge of the Republicans for what happened to Nixon and in Vietnam; he was the proto-Trump.

Golden Dome is actually Trump's Secret Service code name.

They hope he doesn't find out.

- loot the public treasury and redistribute taxpayer funds to the private wealthy class.

Yep... Oligarchs invest in politicians when they buy them, and depend on them to pay dividends and stay bought.

There's no legit evidence that mailed ballots or voting machines have ever been tampered with and changed the results of an election in this country, and such attempts have amounted to a tiny fraction of one percent of votes.

Fortunately for Trump, 'evidense' isn't required by his cult.
