"It is called the illusory truth effect. Basically, this means that people are more likely to believe a statement is true simply because they've heard it or read it multiple times, even if initially they know it is false.

And Trump excels at this.

And I know that's kind of a strange thing to say that Trump excels at repeating the lies that he
wants people to believe, but he really does.

He will say things and then keep on saying them so many times that eventually people believe him. And more and more people on the right beginning to think that Donald Trump is this great truth teller even though he had a history being deceptive going back 40 years before even entering politics.

In fact, there was a poll back in 2023 that showed that Trump voters actually trust him more than they do their own families or religious leaders."

"The agents then start to divvy up the man's groceries, as the bystander tells them they had previously detained and deported her husband.

"I ------- hate these -------------," the woman filming says as they drive off"presumably to the nearby Yakima ICE Detention Center.

Masked men abducting people and looting their groceries is unfortunately par for the course as the first year of President Trump's mass deportation campaign draws to a close.

"Fire their asses and arrest them for theft. If there were even a scintilla of decency at DHS, that is what would happen, but there isn't," political scientist Norman Ornstein wrote.

"Zelensky plans to meet Trump on Sunday for talks on ending Russian war
2 hours ago

Zelensky said he expected the meeting to focus on a US-brokered peace plan, and separate proposals for US security guarantees. But a senior Russian official said the plan was "radically different" to the one it was negotiating with the US."

"Fear and confusion in Nigerian village hit in US strike, as locals say no history of ISIS in area

"In Jabo, we see Christians as our brothers. We don't have religious conflicts, so we weren't expecting this," he said.

Bashar Isah Jabo, a lawmaker representing Tambuwal in the state parliament, described the village to CNN as "a peaceful community" that has "no known history of ISIS, Lakurawa, or any other terrorist groups operating in the area."

He said the projectile had struck a field "approximately 500 meters" from a Primary Health Center in Jabo and that, while there were no casualties, the incident had "caused fear and panic within the community."

Good start!

Good article, short, but some more good subject commentary from the same author.

OK, first... I actually gagged a little when I read the thread title. And BJ isn't even here!

Recently saw the Pope had said this, and thought for the fourth or fifth time since he's been leading Catholicism from the Vatican that, gee, that's amazing... he actually knows what he's talking about when it comes to theology; Overturning the World Order is what the Christian Movement
(there's an argument that it's not really a religion) is all about, from The Beginning to The End Times.

As seen here:

Well, since no one is using this thread about Yahweh of the Elohim's Cunning Plan to Turn the World Order Upside Down; to replace the Elites with the common people...

How the long yet totally worthwhile article ends:

"Christmas Eve provides a much-needed break from politics, as children everywhere eagerly anticipate the arrival of Santa Claus, soaring south from the North Pole on his magical, toy-laden sleigh, getting as far as Milwaukee, where he and his undocumented reindeer are taken into custody by ICE.

So it has not been a stellar year. But it's almost over, thank God. It's time, at last, to put 2025 behind us and look ahead to the year to come, which is bound to be better, right? RIGHT?

Anyway, that's what we'll all be hoping for, as we gather on New Year's Eve with our friends and loved onesies to watch the big ball drop."

"Nigeria Clarifies What Really Happened With Trump's Airstrikes

The Nigerian foreign ministry is fact-checking Donald Trump.

The Nigerian government took the time to debunk President Trump's claims of Christian genocide in Nigeria after he announced the bombing of Africa's most populous (and most oil-rich) nation.

The issue with right-wing claims of Christian genocide in Nigeria is that terror groups and militias are killing everyone, Christians and Muslims alike. The Nigerian government, which says it provided intelligence to the Trump administration before the strikes, clarified what they were really about.

"Nigeria has spent months attempting to clarify this point, as the right has spent months attempting to justify violent U.S. intervention to protect Christians"with Trump threatening to enter Nigeria "gun-a- blazing" just last month.

"This is not a Christian genocide, because the facts don't support it," Good Governance Nigeria researcher Malik Samuel said in November.

"If you look at the areas where this conflict is rife, even in the"even if you take Borno state alone, you look at northern Borno, many of these communities are Muslim-dominated. So most of the victims of Boko Haram violence are Muslims."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Axios on Friday that he hopes to agree on a framework with President Trump for ending the war when they meet on Sunday.

Zelensky also revealed he's willing to bring that plan up for a referendum if Russia agrees to a ceasefire of at least 60 days."

'In an email dated January 7, 2020, the unidentified prosecutor wrote that flight records showed Trump had flown on Epstein's private jet eight times during the 1990s. Among those were at least four flights on which Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell was also on board.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping late financier Epstein sexually abuse underage girls.

We know now that he lied about not being on the plane, but only ScatforBrains knows that the World's Most Prolific Liar isn't lying about the island, too.

#30 | Posted by Corky"

While Scatts obfuscated about the island bit... did he ever address the evidence that Trump LIED about being on the plane? Or that at least half the times he was on the plane it was with the Pedo King's Pimp Maxwell?

I would guess NOT. Perhaps if I'm really bored later I'll let him out of Plonksville and see.

With your Cult Leader it's safe to assume that whatever he says is a lie until proven otherwise; especially when he says two things in the same sentence and one of them has already proven to be a lie.

What's funny are the tiny little straws you still grasp onto when your Cult Leader requires you to believe everything he says, and you bend over and ask for more.

I can pull you out of your box and slap you around whenever I like... but I do feel rather bad about beating up on the mentally disabled.

Perhaps if you ever get out of the Cult... naw. You'll prolly ask to be buried next to him. While still alive.

- tired and old talking points

For which you obviously have no retort.

And nothing on the new information about the numerous times he flew the Lolita Express.

Now I recall why you are killfiled; too far gone in the Cult to think for yourself.

And... he made it seem like this bombing was a Christmas Present to Christians; from their true Savior in the WH.

Ignoring, of course, that these wars are killing many more Muslims than anyone else.
