More bananas for you.
Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis is seeking for a March 4, 2024 trial date for Donald Trump, right in the middle of election season.
They are actively interfering in the 2024 election right in front of your eyes and they don't even care.
Earlier this week, Willis acted oblivious to how Trump's indictment could be posted online before the grand jury even voted on it.
Remarkable how the left is successfully rigging elections through the 'justice' system.
The FBI did it in 2020 and it is happening again.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by — if we — if he does run. I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again.

Sounds funny. But read Trump’s post.
Rather than releasing the Report on the Rigged & Stolen Georgia 2020 Presidential Election on Monday, my lawyers would prefer putting this, I believe, Irrefutable & Overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Legal Filings as we fight to dismiss this disgraceful Indictment by a publicity & campaign finance seeking D.A., who sadly presides over a record breaking Murder & Violent Crime area, Atlanta. Therefore, the News Conference is no longer necessary
Regardless of wether he has any evidence or not. What do you think people will now believe if or when the court throws the accusations in the indictment out or there is a verdict of not guilty.
They will mostly believe it was because of the “irrefutable proof” of election fraud.
Have some bananas.

How could it be fair? The so called press, elites, & powers that be started attacking President Trump before he even won, and they didn't let up to this very day. It mattered not to them if they were telling lies or truth as no one was going to call them on it. Rhinos surely weren't happy he was elected as guess what they're part of the swamp. How could that possibly make for a fair playing field. I imagine Hitler and Tojo got less bad press during WW2 from all the allies combined than President Trump received during the last seven years from the USA and our so called allies. Before he came out as a Republican they all loved him. If I had to bet I'd guess that Covid-19 "happened" to stop President Trump, and when it didn't look like even that was going to work election rules got "changed" just before the big show. :arrgh!: So fair?

The modern states are a continuation of the old ancient medival feudal regimes under a new lable.
States today are a clique of looters and parasites called the civil service and the public sector, contributing nothing of value, but parasitically feeding off the actual working population by sucking from it, in ever deeper draughts.
The only task that gives a state some justification is to defend its borders against external invaders, and this is categorically denied, both in terms of military invaders and illegal migration flows, at least in the case of Germany. With this refusal to work, this state no longer has a right to exist, in my eyes, and it has forfeited any claim to respect and loyalty.
To hell with statism. It is the most powerful and vicious form of organized crime, and cleverly hides behind a sweetheart mask. To hell with state entities - ALL of them. Every form of state leads sooner or later to dictatorship - EVERY ONE. Every state is every free man's deadliest enemy. The state is the violator of contracts, but you cannot sue it. The state is the violator of its own laws, but you cannot hold it accountable. The state is the breaker of rules it imposes on everbyody, but you cannot bring it to justice. The state is the maker of rules that maximse its profits and minimize defences against abusive behaviour by the state. The state is the designer of laws that are designed to make it untouchable in its criminal nature.
That's why I wouldn't even lift my little finger from the tabletop and lower it again to defend Germany. There are things worth fighting for, qualities, ideals, rights. The superwoke socialist unworldly know-it-all Germany of today is not one of them, and deserves only contempt. I am choosy when it comes to using my life. That is wise. We all have only one life, so we should be choosy in whose service we risk it and for what. States are not one of them.

None of that needs a super master state to be formed and run. A company that can be sued if it fails what it got paid for, would be better.
The treaty between the citizen and the state gets betrayed by the state all time, in the money inflation, declaration of wars against other states, ruinous taxes, debts rises that again damage the private citizen and so forth. And it cannot be sued, but can make you pay for it, even if it betrays you.
Such contracts I do not see as legit. You must have the option to sue the other side if it fails its contract duties. The states we live in betray us all time long, in economics and politics and corruption and cultural destruction.
Nurses, policemen and firmen all can be employeed by companies, they must not be on the wage list of states. Same for teachers, btw.
Populations only must make one thing sure: that there is competition, and no monopolists. Then all these services have an own interest in doing a good job: because if they prevent damage, they must not invest even higher costs in damage consequences, also cannot be sued.
States can dance on our noses and suck our blood, and there is nothing we can do about - only tearing them down.
No, the times I am neutral or friendly on states, are over. I dispise them. Them all. They deserve neither trust, nor obedience, nor my money.

'Useful American idiot' Trump facing furious backlash for boasting about Putin closeness
Donald Trump saying he was the "apple" of Vladimir Putin's eye is sparking some harsh criticism.
Trump, who has long been open about having a good relationship with the Russian president, reportedly said in a Fox interview that Putin never would have invaded Ukraine if he had been president. "I was the apple of his eye," the former president said in the interview.
The response was swift.
David Frum, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, said helping Trump to become the president was Putin's "supreme accomplishment as dictator."
"A perverse truth here. Helping Trump into the US presidency was Putin's supreme accomplishment as dictator. A Trump 2nd term would have wrecked NATO from within," Frum wrote Saturday. "With no one to help it, Ukraine would have been easy pickings for Putin."
Conservative attorney and Trump-critic George Conway also chimed in, calling Trump a "Kremlin asset."

Dry those crocodile tears. They only did the same thing that the Democrats tried to do in the 2016 election.
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/democrats-electoral-college-faithless-trump-231731
At least a half-dozen Democratic electors have signed onto an attempt to block Donald Trump from winning an Electoral College majority, an effort designed not only to deny Trump the presidency but also to undermine the legitimacy of the institution.
The presidential electors, mostly former Bernie Sanders supporters who hail from Washington state and Colorado, are now lobbying their Republican counterparts in other states to reject their oaths — and in some cases, state law — to vote against Trump when the Electoral College meets on Dec. 19.

He would wouldn’t he. It’s called the National Popular Vote Movement Democrat loser Hillary Clinton approves of it and Democrat controlled States sure approve too. In fact it is thought they are circumventing the electoral college through a National Popular Vote Compact. I guess that means they really are colluding with Putin, right?
The existing electoral college system is a fundamental element in the federal constitutional arrangements established by the Constitution. Fearing “the tyranny of the majority,” the Founders established a system of government that provides checks and balances designed to restrain the majority and secure minority rights."
"Successful nominees are compelled under this system to present a broad political vision that commands nation-spanning “concurrent majorities” and appeals to the great variety of Americans. ... The NPV initiative would discard the Founders’ intentions in favor of what is consider to be a flawed “majoritarian” presidency that would ill-serve a continent-spanning and profoundly diverse republic."

The last thing I heard Trump say about Ukraine was he would try to stop the war using his Jedi powers on Putin and if he refused them. Trump would then shower Ukraine with every weapon in our arsenal. But who knows for sure, political will bends like a reed in the wind regardless of the party. Something else to consider is history. If Trump were to be pro Ukraine certain voters like lemmings will suddenly become anti-Ukraine because, well you know, Trump.
As far as Trump winning elections keep in mind what Biden said: “Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power if he does run. I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again.”
IMO Trump will not be allowed to run for president anyway

Maybe this could be the reason to why they are eager to start these trials before the election starts.
Back to US aid to Ukraine.
Right after I had posted my comment I read in a Danish article who said Circa 55 % in a CNN survey says that USA should stop helping Ukraine. In all 51 % was against it and 48 % was for it.
This number will increase I'm sure it will as the war goes on.

Not 100% sure who exactly this George Conway guy is but he sends an interesting message to Trump.
George Conway offered some free legal advice to Donald Trump, but he's probably not going to like what he hears.
The conservative attorney, whose wife led Trump's first presidential campaign and served as a White House adviser throughout most of his term, warned the ex-president that he would not likely win his arguments that he should be immune from prosecution or lawsuits -- and Conway justified his expertise.
"Sorry about the four criminal indictments, and about the civil rape case you lost to my friend E. Jean Carroll," Conway posted on his Truth Social account, tagging the former president.
"I know you’re still real mad at me for finding E. Jean the lawyer she hired to sue you, and about my telling everyone you’re a narcissistic psychopath and stuff," Conway added. "But I can help you on this presidential immunity thing, ‘cause it happens that I know a little about it. You can actually save some of the money you scammed off your supporters and have been using to pay your legal bills."
Conway reminded the former president that he had written the U.S. Supreme Court brief in 1997 that won Paula Jones the right to sue then-president Bill Clinton, and which the court repeatedly cited four years ago when it ruled that Trump had to comply with grand jury subpoenas issued by the Manhattan district attorney's office.
"I know you're really busy with all the criminal cases and had to skip the debate and don't like to read much, so I'll cut to the TL;DR here," Conway said, using the online abbreviation for "too long, didn't read." "Which is that, apart from the fact that you're no longer president – I know you hate to hear it, but you did lose to Sleepy Joe [Biden] and you know it! – you're gonna lose a presidential immunity argument in Georgia for the same reason Clinton lost to Jones and you lost to the Manhattan DA, which also happens to be the same reason why you weren't (and still aren't!) immune from being sued for raping and defaming E. Jean."
"You see, when you did all the bad things you did, you weren't acting within what the Supreme Court calls 'the outer perimeter' of your official duties and responsibilities as president," Conway wrote. "(I know 'perimeter' is a big word for you; think of it as acting like a property line in real estate. Or maybe Vanky can explain it for you?) Turns out that (like the Supreme Court told you!) presidents aren't above the law!"
"And not only were you not acting within the Outer Perimeter of Your Official Responsibilities, you were doing the OPPOSITE of what those Very Important Responsibilities required," Conway continued, using some of Trump's characteristic rhetorical flourishes. "PRESIDENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO STOP COUPS, NOT LEAD THEM!!!!"
"Anyway, hope this little explainer helps," he added. "(I used those Initial Caps and ALL CAPS and exclamation points just for YOU!!) P.S. Have fun at the Fulton County Jail this week. Hope you've been staying off the hamberders for the big mug shot and weigh-in!!"

Joe Biden faced calls to resign this week via the 25th Amendment amid rumors that the 80-year-old president is suffering from dementia, RadarOnline.com has learned.
In a surprising development to come as President Biden prepares for next year’s election cycle, critics of the 80-year-old commander-in-chief suggested that Biden is “so senile” that he is not qualified to run the country for another four years.
According to American Thinker, which called for Biden’s resignation on Monday morning while citing the 25th Amendment, the “outward signs of [Biden’s] dementia are everywhere.”
“He often appears confused, unsure of his next move, and unable to remember his speech,” the outlet charged.
“Key political terms such as the ‘national debt’ are improperly used,” it continued, “while his memory lapses include falsely claiming to have observed an event or declaring a climate emergency.”
The outlet also cited an executive order signed by Biden to “advance diversity, inclusion, and equity in the federal workforce” as further evidence the president allegedly suffers from dementia.
According to American Thinker, the executive order in question also “raises the possibility of the president being manipulated by radical ideologues.”

Meanwhile, on a sidenote.
Afurious Melania Trump has threatened to walk out on her marriage to continue Barron’s education in New York, leaving her husband alone in Florida, RadarOnline.com has been told.
As we first reported, four-times-indicted Donald Trump, 77, privately pushed his wife to the brink of a marriage crisis by shamefully dragging their sheltered 17-year-old son, Barron, into the middle of his troubled campaign.
Behind the scenes, the former first lady has threatened her husband, RadarOnline.com has learned.
“That would be devastating to Donald,” a source spilled. “With all the negative press swirling around him, the last thing he needs for his public image is another broken marriage.”
Melania also made a public stand to protect her son in 2019 when she blasted Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan, who’d made a belittling joke 13-year-old Barron wasn’t “a real baron.”
“A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics,” the then-first lady tweeted. “Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering and using a child to do it.”
Sources predicted Melania’s fury with Donald won’t ease until he swears never to use Barron for political purposes again — and if she’s not convinced, she’ll walk.

Nothing new really, I and many others said long before he became president that he was not mentally fit for the job. Which is scary when you begin to wonder who the hell exactly is the unelected official(s) running the country. Realizing it’s now become glaringly obvious to everyone, the club (a.k.a. the elites) can’t use him and are making sure neither Trump or Biden will run again.
Back to US aid to Ukraine.
Right after I had posted my comment I read in a Danish article who said Circa 55 % in a CNN survey says that USA should stop helping Ukraine. In all 51 % was against it and 48 % was for it.
This number will increase I'm sure it will as the war goes on.
Markus This shouldn't surprise you, I posted back in 08-04-2022 (post # 5473 of the other Ukraine thread) that a lot of us on this side of the world viewed this conflict as a regional problem. And that the U.S. really doesn't have a dog in this fight beyond the personal interest of some of our politicians.:03:

Matters become increasingly more farcical with each passing day.
Embattled ex-President Donald Trump mused about fleeing the United States for Russia ahead of his arraignment in Georgia later this week, RadarOnline.com can report.
In a surprising Truth Social post published on Monday night, Trump fumed about the $200,000 bail placed upon him by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Trump also suggested that the Fulton County DA views him as a flight risk because he might “fly far away” to “Russia, Russia, Russia.”
“The failed District Attorney of Fulton County (Atlanta), Fani Willis, insisted on a $200,000 Bond from me,” the embattled ex-president wrote on Monday night.
He continued, “I assume, therefore, that she thought I was a ‘flight’ risk - I’d fly far away, maybe to Russia, Russia, Russia, share a gold domed suite with Vladimir [Putin], never to be seen or heard from again.”
Trump continued the hypothetical scenario further and questioned whether he would be able to take his own private jet if he were to flee the United States for Russia.
“Would I be able to take my very ‘understated’ airplane with the gold TRUMP affixed for all to see,” he wrote. “Probably not, I’d be much better off flying commercial - I’m sure nobody would recognize me!”

Is it his musings what he thinks of the Georgia DA considering him a flight risk? How sad that the state of U.S. Politics has become nothing more than tabloid gossip, drama and grand spectacle.

Looking at statistics for other major metro areas, contrary to what the unnamed ‘experts’ in this article proclaim as unique. Other cities are slowly but surely following SanFrancisco into the pit. Maybe we should rename California, Libya because these days I don’t see much difference between the two.
San Francisco's Decline is a Warning to Other American Cities
BY GIULIA CARBONARO ON 6/12/23 AT 5:00 AM EDT
https://www.newsweek.com/san-francisco-decline-warning-american-cities-1801200
Struggling with rampant homelessness, a drug crisis, surging crime and several business closures, San Francisco is no longer the thriving city it used to be. Its decline in recent months has led some to say the city "is dying"—especially as its citizens move elsewhere.
A quarter of a million people have reportedly fled the Bay Area since the beginning of 2020. According to U.S. Census estimates, San Francisco's population dropped by 7.2 percent between 2020 and 2021 and by 0.3 percent between 2021 and 2022.
This exodus, sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic and the change in working habits that came with it, continued in 2022 even as the health emergency drew to a close. While life in other big cities started getting back to normal, San Francisco and the Bay Area continued to shrink, although at a slower pace.
It is wealthier people who are leaving San Francisco, too. Lee H. Ohanian, a professor of economics and director of the Ettinger Family Program in Macroeconomic Research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), wrote that this exodus caused a $7 billion net income loss within the city.
But how did the City by the Bay get there—and could a similar decline affect other major American centers?
A 'Broken Network' In the City
"The pandemic really changed the pace of the city and, to a certain extent, the lifeline of the city," Lu Chen, San Francisco resident and senior economist at Moody's Analytics, told Newsweek.
San Francisco, with its proximity to Silicon Valley, had grown in the past few decades to become one of the country's main tech hubs. Young, skilled workers flocked to the city in this modern gold rush as giants like Google, Apple, Facebook and Twitter set up their headquarters there.
But everything changed when the pandemic hit. Many San Francisco tech workers moved further out to cheaper cities, while many outside of the city decided against relocating there.
"We started seeing the caller cities—smaller cities which are close enough to San Francisco—attract more people," Chen said. "These cities are more affordable, they have lower cost of living, they have equally nice weather, they have a larger lot, bigger houses, newer houses, nice neighborhoods, good school districts, safer, and are easier to commute."
And tech workers appear to want to stay there. Because despite the end of the pandemic and its lockdown restrictions, many have chosen not to return to their offices. This has left many buildings in San Francisco partially or mostly empty, harming retail and causing a fracture in the city and the way it used to work, said Chen.
The office vacancy rate in San Francisco is about 30 percent—or about 35 million square feet, Colin Yasukochi, an executive director at commercial real estate firm CBRE, recently told NBC.
“If we look at the city as a whole, you have retail, offices, and residential all supporting each other. Now there's actually a broken network among different linkages of commercial properties," Chen said.
Ted Egan, San Francisco's chief economist, agrees. "High office vacancy is harming the city's economy, beyond its impact on commercial real estate itself," he told Newsweek.
"It is contributing to a loss of business tax revenue to the city, and a loss of ridership for local transit agencies. It has also harmed small businesses located downtown, who don't have the same foot traffic from office workers eating lunch, meeting after work, or shopping during the day. It is also curtailing business tourism."
San Francisco's booming housing sector has also suffered a hit in recent months, with the city being second only to Austin, Texas, for the rate at which home prices have fallen.
In April 2022—the zenith of the pandemic-era housing market boom—the median sale price of a home in San Francisco was $1.6 million, according to Redfin—11 percent more than the previous year. In April 2023, the median sale price of a home in San Francisco had dropped to $1.3 million, Redfin figures showed, 17.3 percentage points below the level reported a year before.
More Than A Tech Workers' Exodus
There are other issues which might have prompted some people to abandon the city—like the fentanyl crisis gripping the Tenderloin district, where overdose deaths have surged since the beginning of the year.
Gen-Z activist Darren Stallcup, who has lived in the Tenderloin all his life, told Newsweek that he feels "traumatized" by the number of people who's seen dying in the streets of his neighbourhood.
"I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area, this is my home," Stallcup, who regularly records with his phone camera and then shares with the world on Twitter, said. "And I've seen my home go from being the cultural capital of the world to the technological capital of the world and then, somewhere between the homeless crisis and the pandemic, we've become the fentanyl capital of the world."
Between January and March of 2023, 200 people died of overdose in the Tenderloin, with 159 deaths being caused by fentanyl—more than during the same time frame the year before. On a national level, fentanyl is estimated to have killed over 100,000 people in 2021 alone.
The San Francisco's Department of Public Health (SFDPH) declined an interview request from Newsweek, but shared a statement saying that the department "is working to prevent deaths caused by accidental drug overdoses through multiple interventions."
In order to do that, SFDPH is increasing access and availability of medications for addiction treatment and has opened several recovery centers in the city in the past two years, it said. The department also has street care teams dedicating to reach people most at risk of overdose.
But the fentanyl epidemic is just one of many crises facing San Francisco at the moment. While homelessness remains high—with an estimated 7,754 homeless people as of 2022—the city is also facing an increase in crime, which has been linked to the closure of several businesses in the city.
In 2021, Target announced reduced night hours in some of its San Francisco stores because of the city's rise in shoplifting and thefts. Later in the same year, Walgreens reported the closures of five of its stores in the city because of a rise in "organized retail crime."
In May, online news website SFGATE reported that T-Mobile had closed its flagship store in San Francisco's Union Square the month before. In April, Whole Foods shut its downtown store after just a year of business, with bosses saying they were unable to "ensure the safety" of their staff in the city. Nordstrom followed suit, leaving the city central district earlier in May.
Out of 203 retailers present in the city's Union Square area as of 2019, over 90 have closed since the beginning of the pandemic, as reported by the Daily Mail.
There's been a 5 percent increase in homicide in the city between January and April this year compared to the same period a year prior, while robberies have risen by 16.1 percent, according to San Francisco Police Department's crime dashboard. Other crimes, like rape and assault, have significantly dropped in the same period.
San Francisco's Mayor London Breed, a Democrat, has announced several efforts to tackle crime, homelessness, and drug addiction in the city since taking office in 2018. However, during her time in office, she's been criticized by both conservatives and progressives, who have accused her, respectively, of being too radical or not liberal enough.
In 2021, Breed declared a state of emergency in the Tenderloin to tackle the fentanyl epidemic there, a move that allowed her to increase police budgets and ramp up services to addicts and mentally ill people living in the streets. The measure was in break with liberals, who have called for defunding law enforcement.
Breed is running for re-election to a second term in office in November 2024. Newsweek contacted the office of the mayor for comment but did not receive a timely response.
Is This The End Of San Francisco?
Despite the city's troubles, experts are not ready to proclaim the city dead.
"We are seeing a lot of private and public partnership to save the city's destiny, and that is a good move," Chen told Newsweek. "We are seeing the city removing a lot of barriers for converting the commercial use properties into residential, creating the mixed-use neighborhood of combining retail/office/apartment and single-family housing together. That is a very important step in the right direction."
California assembly member Matt Haney, a Democrat, agrees that the city can be saved if it's able to transform itself—and its vacant skyscrapers—quickly.
"The most urgent thing downtown San Francisco needs to do is to adapt quickly, we need to turn many of these empty office buildings into housing and we need to attract the innovative economies of the future, including climate tech, A.I., and biotech," he told Newsweek.
"All of that can happen and will happen if we adapt quickly and address the other social and safety challenges downtown. It's hard to keep downtown safe when it's empty. It's also hard to fill it if it's unsafe. So we need to do both."
But Egan thinks that converting empty office spaces might not be such an easy operation.
One of the current challenges with converting office space in San Francisco is the high cost of construction, and the fact that the market for alternative uses—housing, hotels, and retail—are also depressed because of the decline in demand for offices," he said.
"Downtown housing, for example, has dropped in value because a large piece of that demand came from office workers who wanted a short commute. That demand has diminished because of remote work," he added. "What I think is most likely is an eventual re-configuration of most of the space for other, hybrid office uses."
Egan is optimistic on other fronts, like that of business closures, which he expects to stop, "unless we see a recession."
"Taxable sales downtown—which is our best measure of commercial activity—has been growing steadily, if slowly," he said.
But not everything is on its way to recovery in the city. In terms of housing, Laura Ratz, another economist at Moody's Analytics, said San Francisco's best days are likely to be behind it.
For the whole of its recent history, San Francisco has been an incredibly expensive place to buy a home and to live and to do business—and right now we're seeing some correction," she told Newsweek. "I think that the high-flying days of the past two decades are definitely in the rearview for San Francisco."
A Warning To Other U.S. Cities?
The conditions that brought on San Francisco's decline are unlikely to befall another American cities, according to experts.
"I think that San Francisco has its unique characteristics," Chen said. "San Francisco is the only city so far among all major American metros which hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic.
Other major cities, like New York and Washington, D.C., had seen similar level of outmigration in 2021 but are now having a sizeable recovery, with an inflow of population," she added.
Ratz agrees, saying that San Francisco is "in a lot of way its own animal," but also believes that a lot of metro areas west of the Rockies are going to see same sharp price corrections that the city has experienced in the latest months, including Phoenix and Seattle, though she wouldn't "put them quite in the same category."
Despite San Francisco presenting a unique case, the city's recent slump still serves as a cautionary tale for others.
For Haney, the reason behind San Francisco's downtown decline is that the city, years ago, decided to put all its eggs in one basket: building commercial and office spaces during the tech "gold rush."
“The city built a lot of commercial office space and not much else downtown," Haney said. "And that's a problem, because now downtown is empty, very few people live downtown and there are not diverse uses [to these empty buildings] that can provide the resilience we need as our economy changes."

So, will Mark Meadows fail to surrender by Friday at 12:30PM? His Notice of Removal to Federal Court will not be decided until 8/28/2023 and State's Rights mean that the State's case continues until it gets removed to Federal Court, not before. It would be fun to see an arrest warrant issued but I expect he will show up for his mug shot. Even if the case does get removed, he will still be arrested.

Donald Trump risks huge security and economic implications for UK if he wins US election, whistleblower warns.
Asecond Donald Trump presidency would have “huge security and economic implications for Britain”, according to a top former US government official.
Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff at the US Department for Homeland Security, is also concerned that increasing extremism among Trump supporters will lead to more political assassination threats in the US.
Mr Taylor was a registered Republican who worked in the Trump administration until he resigned in 2019. He later revealed he had been the anonymous author of a controversial article which claimed that government officials were secretly resisting potentially unconstitutional demands by president Trump.
In an interview with i, Mr Taylor warned: “I would say to Britain that Donald Trump is the single biggest threat to the Western world order.
“You would have an increasingly isolationist America not just in foreign policy but also a highly protectionist America economically… If Trump pulled US troops out of Germany, Poland and other places, it would really increase interest in Moscow potentially to push further into Europe.
He added: “I don’t think we’re going to see Moscow marching towards London and across the Channel. But that sort of cascade of events means economic chaos and total uncertainty around the world.”
Mr Taylor said that he and his family have been continually subjected to death threats by pro-Trump extremists since he began campaigning against the former president.
He is worried that many other public officials are now suffering the same kind of abuse after Mr Trump repeatedly denigrated people involved in ongoing prosecutions of him for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election.
Mr Taylor regrets writing his 2018 whistleblowing article covertly because it appeared to proof the baseless conspiracy theory that the US is really being run by Democratic-supporting officials and spies.
“I strongly believe that he used that anonymous piece as further evidence of a deep state,” he admitted.

Look at the history of our elections. Trump’s claims were no different than the claims of other candidates that lost. Candidates from both parties have done what he has done and said what has said, involving media, courts, judges, lawyers, you name it. The only difference in my opinion is the unprecedented amount of media attention Trump received compared to the others. Why? The power of the media to sway opinion, they’re not letting go of it because they don’t want him to run PERIOD

I think support will continue by hook or by crook. Too much is at stake for the U.S. to abandon Ukraine. For us it boils down to not allowing no single power to have dominance in Central Asia. I’d say too states in that region see U.S. engagement necessary to their survival.
Securing Ukraine opens the door for all those ‘Stan countries.

According to an analysis of a new Politico Magazine/Ipsos poll, "dubious" claims that every Donald Trump indictment results in a boost in his re-election prospects are not borne out by the numbers -- and, in fact, support for the embattled ex-president is in a slow-motion free fall.
Writing for Politico, former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori stated Trump's key defense against his four indictments is falling flat on its face with voters who aren't part of his rabid MAGA base.
As Khardori explained, any chance the former president has of returning to the Oval Office would require him to appeal to independents and undecideds and a growing number instead believe he belongs in jail.

On Friday, August 25, Joe Biden finally addressed Donald Trump's mugshot, which was taken the night before.
While on vacation with his family in Lake Tahoe, Biden took some time to comment on the controversial photograph. His reaction was surprising as the President of the United States has largely not commented on Trump's four indictments over the last six months.
As Biden began his public statements in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, he was largely booed by the crowd. "We don't want you here" could be heard from the audience as the Democratic politician attempted to speak with reporters.
"Have you seen Donald Trump's mugshot yet," one reporter asked the father-of-four.
"I did see it on television," Biden replied with a grin as the spectators continued to jeer.

A 'new world order'? BRICS just agreed to welcome Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, Argentina and the United Arab Emirates — why that's not exactly good news for the US
Chinese President Xi Jinping says the "historic" membership expansion shows broader “unity and cooperation.”
https://moneywise.com/news/top-stories/brics-new-members-saudi-arabia-iran-ethiopia-egypt-argentina-the-united-arab-emirates-us-dollar
The BRICS bloc has agreed to admit Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, Argentina and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to its ranks — adding fuel to the fire of “a new world order,” according to Russia president Vladimir Putin.
The six new candidates will formally become BRICS members — alongside Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — on January 1, 2024, as reported by Reuters.
“This membership expansion is historic,” said Chinese President Xi Jinping, at the 15th BRICS Summit in Johannesburg. “It shows the determination of BRICS countries for unity and cooperation with the broader developing countries.”
A common desire among multiple bloc members is to level a global economic playing field they feel is over reliant on the U.S. dollar.
New BRICS members
The six new members to the bloc add an interesting dynamic to BRICS. Most are allies or close trading partners with current members.
For instance, the UAE has signed a bilateral trading agreement with India that will see the two countries trade oil and other assets in their local currencies — not the U.S. dollar. Fellow oil power Saudi Arabia is also looking to loosen the grip of the U.S. on the global energy industry.
Meanwhile, Brazil has long called for its neighbor Argentina’s inclusion, Egypt has close commercial connections with Russia and India, and Iran shares Russia’s issues with U.S.-led sanctions and diplomatic isolation.
According to South African officials, more than 40 countries have expressed interest in joining the bloc. Upon announcing the six new members, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa hinted at further expansion saying: “We have consensus on the first phase of this expansion process and other phases will follow.”
What this means for the U.S.
Certain BRICS members — mainly China and Russia — have long called for the bloc’s enlargement as a way to challenge Western dominance, but other members — like Brazil and India — continue to nurture close relationships with the U.S. and Europe.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Tuesday: “We do not want to be a counterpoint to the G7, G20 or the United States. We just want to organize ourselves.”
He also defended the idea of a common trading currency between BRICS countries, insisting it is not about “rejecting” the greenback or other national currencies. Rather, he said it would facilitate trade between emerging economies — while also reducing transaction costs and exposure to global volatility and geopolitical risks.
Whether BRICS will rise into a superpower that will overtake the G7 — as predicted by Putin — remains to be seen. What is clear is that more global trade will be conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. But, the greenback currently remains dominant and the U.S. is still by far the world’s largest economy.

Worried about what? We have been locked in a trade war with China since 2018 and just last month or so Secretary Blinken came right out and accused Xi of being a dictator.
Nothing has changed since Trump started it and warned everyone it’s going to hurt a lot before it gets better. I’d wager we’re sending Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo over there because one: Biden is to feeble to form a sentence much less negotiate a treaty and two she’s there to inquire face to face if they’re ready to make some concessions.

From his summer home in New Jersey, former President Donald Trump dictated to the House Republicans that it was time for them to impeach President Joe Biden.
Taking to his personal social media website, Truth Social, on Sunday, Trump claimed that the House has already "proven" that Biden broke the law and as such it was time for them to move.
"You don’t need a long INQUIRY to prove it, it’s already proven," he ranted. "These lowlifes Impeached me TWICE (I WON!), and Indicted me FOUR TIMES - For NOTHING! Either IMPEACH the BUM, or fade into OBLIVION. THEY DID IT TO US!"

Meanwhile, back at the courthouse (or at least one of them), The Chump's defense lawyer's failed to get their way and got their behinds handed to them by the judge; efforts to delay the trial until April 2026 were stymied when the judge pointed out (and pointedly) defense lawyers claims the mass of documents to be reviewed were not daunting given that a great many of the document were either electronically preserved and or searchable via databases and, further, a vast amount of the documents were actually sourced from the defendant's own records, openly available to and already provided by, the defense team; maybe The Chump is gonna have to hire some new lawyers at the Trumpettes' expense...
May it be suggested...?...

Biden made the ultimate decision to use the law to prevent Trump from running for president again, which is what this is really all about. His Attorney General is only obeying his orders, albeit willingly.
Remember, it was then Vice President Biden who suggested using an antiquated, centuries old law called the Logan Act to prosecute Michael Flynn. The man is quite willing to pervert the justice system to go after his enemies.

I imagine this is why Biden was telling a graduating class of black college students the greatest threat to democracy is white supremacy. Doing so, seems like Democrats were trying really hard to keep my brothers them on the plantation. Problem for the racist Democrats is they made themselves out to be the white supremacist threat after they posted Trump’s mug shot.

Donald Trump and his team are considering having the ex-president not appear at his upcoming arraignment — the first time the ex-president has missed one in all his criminal cases.
According to sources, Trump may waive his arraignment appearance, which is currently scheduled for September 6 at 9:30 AM. All criminal defendants in Fulton County have the option to waive their personal appearance.
Rudy Giuliani’s arraignment is scheduled for 15 minutes after Trump’s hearing. Sources told CBS News Trump has yet to make a decision.
Trump’s legal team will appear in court for him if he decides to skip out. At the arraignment, the ex-president or his lawyer will enter his plea. Many of the 18 co-defendants in the case have waived their formal arraignments and entered not-guilty pleas, per reports.

"Rudy Giuliani was just hit with major default judgment sanctions by a federal judge in the Fulton County election workers Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss defamation case."
The judge has ruled in favor of Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss as the result of Giuliani's continuing failure to provide court requested documents. The case will now move straight to damages. Goodbye Rudy.

About time somebody made the decision simply as a precaution if nothing else.
President Joe Biden has been taking the shorter stairs to get on Air Force One much more often since falling over a sandbag on stage during the US Air Force Academy graduation in June, a news photography analysis has shown.
NPR reports that Mr Biden has been eschewing the 18-foot staircase, which may at times be unstable, traditionally used when getting on and off Air Force One.
Instead of exiting and entering via the upper door, Mr Biden has been using the staircase that folds out from the lower level rather than the separate stairs wheeled up to the plane at airports and bases. Using the lower, foldable stairs means that most of Mr Biden’s journey up to the main floor of the aircraft takes place inside, away from the view of the cameras.
The 80-year-old commander-in-chief has stumbled on the stairs on more than one occasion, with the White House brushing aside questions on the issue as Mr Biden’s age is one of the main worries on the minds of voters as he runs for re-election.

No need to think along extremes all the time, there’s a ton of good things I can say about my country. However the current political climate and circus drama is about the only thing not on that list.
I also realize European nations like the U.K. and Germany have the exact same circus as we do. The only difference is, that unlike European media, your political boondoggles are not in our news cycle because honestly nobody over here really gives a ratsass about your political drama. Let’s face it, if Europe was so perfect the shining beacon on the hill. The U.S. wouldn’t have to place its time, effort and money to quell ANOTHER European war.

Markus Sorry Markus. The 5 'levels of force include: 1: an an officers presence: 2: voice command;3: baton: 4: chemicle spray(pepper or tear gas) and if all else fails, 5: use of the firearm. The video clearly depicts the lady's utter disregard for the officer's presence, voice command incl. a polite "please"(refusal to obey a lawful command) and, as she moves her vehicle forward ie: turning her vehicle into a deadly weapon, the 2nd officer, standing in front, may, at his discretion use his own firearem to prevent harm to himself and innocent shoppers. That she was was black(ie: 'playing the race card'), pregnant and female will undoubtedly play into the official considerations of the matter. I've been in this position more than once myself incl. using my '06 Corolla as a defensive weapon; and would at least have stepped aside and shot out a tire as the vehicle passed me by(considerably reducing the paperwork??!)...but that is any officers' own percieved discretion which is always subject to official 'Monday-morning quarter-backing'. That happened about 55 miles South of me. :hmmm:Well if the National Guard can kill 4 college students in Ohio and get away with it I doubt this policeman will have much trouble! :oops::timeout::arrgh!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh1E951XaRA

The Guard was put in much the same position as the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre, and they also beat the rap for the same reasons, even if they didn't have John Adams as a lawyer.

Looks like someone has finally awoken and can smell the coffee.
During a Skype call-in to Alex Jones, one of the leaders of the Proud Boys who was the recipient of a 17-year sentence is already complaining about the food and holding out hope that 4-time-indicted Donald Trump might one day pardon him.
According to a report from Newsweek, Joe Biggs, who sobbed in court on Thursday when he was sentenced to almost two decades in prison for seditious conspiracy, complained about being sent to jail, telling Jones, "They want to send a message to Americans that if you go to these events, if you are part of a political group, they're going to throw you in prison for a long time. They want you scared."
Continuing in that vein he added, "They don't want you to go out and vote, they want people scared before it's time to vote and that's why all this heat's happening right now. You know, this is ridiculous. We went there that day with no plan, with nothing. We were there like every other American but it's because we're a political group."
Biggs also complained about the conditions in jail -- specifically what he is being fed.
"The food (in prison) is horrible. You can't eat the food here. It is not edible in any kind of way," he stated.
Asked if he sees a possible Trump pardon in his future, he replied, "Oh, I know he'll pardon. I believe that with all my heart."

Hate to say it, but 70-80 year olds are generally regarded as unemployable due to mental decline / skill mismatch. Yet they're exclusively running the country. :06:

FWIW I don't think the current POTUS or Trump are the fit and proper person to run the USA
Scratching my head, wondering why !?
Why does people put their vote on these very old politicians

Because they'll almost certainly be the ones put forward for election by their respective parties.

I know, I also know there's more candidate beside these two from Dem and Rep. and among these there must be some young politician.

Having traveled all 50 States in the USA for over 20 years?
I've come to the conclusion that the majority of the people are idiots.

I highly doubt as things stand at the moment there will be anyone other than those two.
I have been known to be wrong in the past mind you.

Watch the Movie Idiocracy.
We are not all that far away from that!
:nope:
And I'd think you have the same problem in Your Country Markus.
Not like you all have Great Leaders getting elected.
Just like the USA? They sell out and lie to you for their own interests.

We have indeed. That's one of the reason why I do not vote-Haven't been voting since 2002.

Because those with a more recent and "leftist" education are an even worse choice. :03:

From my perspective, both party extremes do not want educated people that might actually read past the headlines and use some critical thinking skills.
One of the saddest things for me is the far right MAGA party acts more like a Communist party striving to exert control over business, education and behavior. These people are not conservatives any longer! You see the Democratic party now being the conservatives resisting the radical ideas coming from MAGA.

All you need to do is look at the attacks on Anheuser-Busch and Disney, the banning of books from schools, the attacks on women's rights and attacks on the LGBTQ community.

Perfect example of "If you don't drink the same kool-aid I do? Your wrong."
Last I checked I had the FREE choice not to drink a certain Beer. Now you and your kind want to brand us as evil.
Don't have anything against the LGBTQ except having it shoved in my face. I have lesbian friends and a best friend was Bi.
My Bi friend died years ago and I still miss him. You don't get friends like him but maybe a couple times in Life.
Disney is just Politicians playing a Game for suckers. Don't care about that at all.
No books should ever be banned. Period!

No, you are free to believe how you want to, but don't try to make me live by your beliefs through telling me what I can't do or read. If you don't want to see it, or read it, act like a small government conservative and don't.

Last resort of the desperate.
And no one told you to believe as I do. But you can't understand that can you?

What name calling? I'm not even angry, just debating.
When MAGA tries to legislate one set of unpopular ethics on the whole country I am being told what to do.
EDIT: My bad grammar. I didn't mean the word you to mean you personally, I was thinking of it as when one does something. Sorry about that.

I'd love to engage in a further battle of wits.
But I refuse to fight with an unarmed opponant.
Anyone that is comitted to only one side? Well, nuff said.
Anyone that does not agree with this side or that side? Again you've said enuff.
You obviously decided you are ONLY interested in one side. Nothing I could say would have you look at me any differently. You've commited to your views.
And that OK by me. Your allowed to do that and I served to protect that Right.
I was one of those people that would have died protecting your rights.

Oh Jesus, that’s not socialism, nor is it an attack. If it was socialism the government/public/corpus/body would interfere with an individual’s decision what to buy, consume or produce . If anything it served as a perfect example of what socialism is not. The individual right to determine not the public or corporation what to buy, consume or sell.
Feel free to drink all the bud light and bake all the gay wedding cakes you want, or not. Either way I don’t care what you do. In capitalist economy there will always be someone ready to meet demand. Its in the socialist society where the government/public controls the means of production and forces people to do things which go against their honest heartfelt convictions

I don't drink any Anheuser-Busch products for a simple reason.
It's NOT an American owned company.
Does that make me unpatriotic and a LGBTQ hater?
Or I'm being patriotic and buying American?
I'm confussed cause there's double standards involved.
And the last time I had anything with a Rainbow on it was a box of Lucky Charms.

Now that is closer to name calling than the term small government conservative. I'm surprised anyone would consider that term offensive.
I'm committed to the freedoms this country's Constitution and Bill of Rights allows. If you think that's one sided, you're right.
