LEGALLY

"She was fired for being a stupid ------- ----."

Trump seems to have a large collection of them.

WHATSLEFT

Peter Thiel is ready to install Vance into the WH.

I was wondering when somebody was going to connect those dots.

With an eye on '28, Vance has been gently trying to distance himself from Trump about the Iran war.

Since Thiel has been Vance's primary financial support over many years and the one who paid Trump to pick Vance as his V.P., it isn't Trump he's abandoning. It's Vance he's supporting, just like he's always done.

Since Vance isn't the brightest porch light in town, it's assumed that Thiel, who doesn't have an altruistic bone in his body, intends to become a shadow president, not for good of America but rather to steer legislation and funding to his several California tech businesses. Once again, it's all about money.

Surprise? LOL ~ hardly.

FEDUP @ #23

Newsworthy words of wisdom.

That sounds awful. Is there no way out or are you permanently locked into a for-profit system where patients are only a tool of the trade?

I've noticed the same thing happening here in Florida. It's difficult these days to find a doctor who is independent of a corporate entity who is more concerned about their shareholders then they are about patients. They seem to think their real job is to squeeze as many billing hours into 60 minutes as they can.

I, myself, don't tolerate that, but I'm a dying breed. Most patients just sit in the waiting room waiting for their health care to be shortchanged by corporate greed.

I also clearly understand that, in attempting to sow doubts in America's elections, he's also planning on the drumbeat during and litigations after the midterms to have a brainwashing effect in 2028.

LAMP

A co-pay???

My goodness, what kind of health care insurance do you have?

This, along with other flimsy or manufactured evidence of non-citizen voting, Trump is setting up his cases to challenge the election results in states that Republican candidates lost.

Not that he expects to win in the lower courts but rather to delay the certification of new members while his DOJ slowly pursues appeal after appeal all the way up to Trump's Ace-in-the-Hole, the U.S. Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, he'll be yakking it up in the media in an effort to sow doubt in America's elections.

MADMIKE

Don't be ridiculous. What Trump really needs is some Plexaderm for those cholesterol bags under his eyes.

I have a speculation of my own.

Maybe Melania smacked him upside the noggin.

NEWSWORTHY flag for ZED

Lest charges of war crimes be brought up at Trump's impeachment trial.

DOC

Or, after seeing that ad, how about changing his name to Ramaswarmy?

NIXON

As a lame duck combined with impeachment or the 2028 election, Trump is going to set Russia's ambitions back at least another six years or more.

Hopefully, Trump will have kicked the bucket by then and Vance will be a "usta' be."

NIXON

"Expenditures to Influence Voting - 18 U.S. Code 597
18 U.S. Code 597 makes it a federal crime to use expenditures to sway someone's vote."

Ten days out from the midterms, losing and desperate, Trump is going to cross many red lines.

DOC

I'm surprised that no one has changed his name to Rasmaswampy yet.(that I know of)

HUGH

Except, in this case, nobody seems to be "greasing palms" for Trump's order to the Pentagon. Musk and Trump are joined at the hip vis-a-vie Trump and Putin.

Trump appears to be collaborating with America's once known enemy to commit a crime against humanity.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it's my understand that although Musk may own Starlink, it's under contract to the U.S. Government (Pentagon). So Mush alone would not be authorized to shut down Starlink without the order coming straight from the Commander in Chief, Donald Trump. (who gets his marching orders from Mr. Putin.

Bluntly put, it's crystal clear to the average sleuth that the Starlink shutdown was a direct response to Ukraine's attack on a Russian diesel fuel production facility which (connect the dots) is putting a crimp in Trump's new diesel fuel delivery contract with Russia.

The morning news has just announced that Starlink to Ukraine has been fully restored. But does that negate the possibility that the unholy duo of Putin and Trump did commit a war crime?

Just asking.

Trump blames midterms . . .

That's unusual. He usually blames Obama or Biden.

Trump must be losing his grip.

BINGO, Derek

SNOOFY

If and when those hidden names go public, a lot of lives are going to be ruined. Nonetheless, the media is to slurp that up like a newborn calf on an udder. You know their motto~ If it bleeds, it leads.

Maybe they deserve it but it's the collateral damage (families, corporations etc.) that don't deserve to suffer that I'm thinking of. So I'm twixt and between on that.

EBERLY

I haven't heard a peep about the pee tapes for a long time. Nonetheless, the Epstein files are still a media hot topic and discussed daily on the mainstream news channels.

I just don't think the pee tapes can hold a candle to the Epstein files in the limited time the media has on air. They're very sensitive to public interest.

CATDOG

How close do you think Mr. Putin is watching this meltdown?

Considering how much they are depending on each other.

EBERLY

Putin doesn't need a "pee tape."

Trump and Putin are joined at the hip in their mission to destroy democracy.

Too bad "The Hague" is no longer in business. I miss seeing the agony of defeat.

Steve Witkoff can hide behind the First Amendment but, in my opinion, he should be hanged for treason for saying Putin is a humanitarian.

Was his intention to give aid and comfort to the enemy? Probably. at least in part. But mainly to convince Americans that they can't believe their lying eyes.

Vote Democrat. It's the only way to protect democracy from two war criminals, Trump and Putin.
