If 6ix or Trumptards ever wondered why life has been hard for them, it is because they are stupid. Electing Trump won't fix their lives because he is not a genius:

Truth Social continues to plunge amidst new weirdness

By Kevin Drum | April 16, 2024

https://jabberwocking.com/truth-social-continues-to-plunge-amidst-new-
weirdness/

Keep in mind that the actual value of DJT is about $2 plus the value of the Truth Social platform. So, about $2. Maybe $3-4 if we're being generous. In other words, it still has a ways to go before it hits bottom.

But the stock isn't plummeting just because people are figuring out it's a scam. It's also because of an announcement that management plans to sell more shares:

The filing describes a plan to offer more than 21.4 million shares of common stock, issuable “upon the exercise of warrants,” the filing shows. Stock warrants give their holder the ability to buy shares at a predetermined price within a certain time frame.

Trump Media predicted in the filing that it will receive “up to an aggregate of approximately $247.1 million from the exercise of the Warrants.”

The idea here is that holders of the warrants will exercise them to buy newly issued stock at $11.50 per share, which will net the company $247 million but dilute the value of all the existing shares. The warrant holders can then turn around and sell their 21 million shares on the open market at a profit. The warrants are held by ARC Global Investments, which is controlled by Patrick Orlando, who set up this whole deal until he was fired last year. He's currently suing Trump Media.

But that's not all! There's also this:

The company also seeks to offer the resale of up to 146.1 million shares of stock from “selling securityholders,” 114.8 million of which are held by Trump himself. Trump owns 78.8 million shares of the company, and stands to obtain 36 million “earnout shares” if the stock stays above a certain price for enough trading days.

I don't even know what this means. Some of Trump's earnout shares accrue if the stock stays above $12.50 for 20 days over the next 18 months, which is pretty certain. Others have different requirements. But what does it mean to offer them all for resale? Beats me.

In any case, this has all spooked shareholders, who had plenty of reason to be spooked already. I expect further declines.

This election isn't about Trump or Biden.

There are much, much larger forces at work across the globe- military, political, economic, social ... larger than Biden, larger than Trump, larger than the DC swamp.

Focusing on our divisive narratives and trivial issues just means that we'll be rolled over and kicked off a cliff.

I have complaints about Nazis and Confederates. The Confederates got pardoned by ex-slaveholder Andrew Johnson (rated a tie with Trump for worst President) so a million of them never got hanged for what they did. As for the Nazis, they all got forgiven except for a few high-profile individuals but millions of them deserved to be hanged. The Trumptards' everyday life earned them a hanging, but all they will get is shortened lives because of their habitual depravity and natural stupidity. Have a smoke, 6ix! Do a Rush Limbaugh and die early from lung cancer.

The Nuremburg Tribunal sentenced only 11 Nazis to death for a massive genocide because the Allies did not want to be harsh on the defeated Germany as they had been after WWI. In subsequent Nuremburg Trials of 177 defendants, 24 were sentenced to death, 20 to lifelong imprisonment, and 98 other prison sentences. Twenty-five defendants were found not guilty. Many of the prisoners were released early in the 1950s as a result of pardons. Thirteen of the 24 death sentences were executed.

Signym, you are repeating Putin's arguments that the entire West is under Satan's control. I'd argue that Trumptards are under Satan's control.
Putin attacks West as 'satanic', hails Russian "traditional" values
https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSS8N2Z80G1/

“Reacher” star Alan Ritchson is receiving attention for harsh words he had for Trump’s devotees.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published earlier this month, the action star explained why he’s confused by Christians who support the former president.

“Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe,” said Ritchson, who himself identifies as a follower of Jesus. “It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do.”

“Trump is a rapist and a con man,” he went on, “And yet the entire Christian church seems to be treat him like he’s their poster child and it’s unreal. I don’t understand it.”

Get a brain, 6ix, and stop playing with matches and gasoline around dumpsters. Trump, the giant retard towering over his Trumptards, has deep cognitive dysfunction. For examples of his extreme stupidity while playing with matches and gasoline:

• He opposes aid to Ukraine because they resisted his extortion attempts in 2019 and got him impeached.

• He hates wind turbines because they ruined the view from one of his Scottish golf courses.

• He wants to repeal Obamacare because President Obama made fun of him in 2012.

• He detests electric cars because GM once closed some plants in order to free up money for EV development. The plant closures infuriated Trump, who had promised to revive manufacturing jobs.

• He opposes the FISA anti-terrorism surveillance program because he's convinced the intelligence community has spied on him.

• He opposes shutting down TikTok because it would help Facebook, which took down some of his ads during the 2020 campaign and then suspended his account after the January 6 insurrection.

• He favors cuts to the FBI budget because they investigated his Russia ties and raided his Mar-a-Lago home.

I could go on and on. We all know about Trump's endless litany of grievances, which constitute most of his stump speeches, but not enough attention is paid to the way they affect concrete policy.

That might just be the least self aware thing I've ever seen somebody write in my life.

People who I tend to agree with are running places that still work.

People who you tend to agree with are running dystopia nightmare cities that are a shell of what they used to be only a few decades ago.

Joe Biden Is Now Beating Donald Trump With Republican Pollsters as Well

Joe Biden is narrowly beating Donald Trump ahead of November's presidential election, according to a new poll.

The survey from Echelon Insights, which was cofounded by former Republican digital strategist Patrick Ruffini and pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson, found that 49 percent of respondents would either definitely, probably or lean to voting for Biden, while 46 percent said they would opt for Trump.

Joe Biden*'s final polling lead on Election Day 2020: 7.2 points

Joe Biden*'s actual performance in the Election: 4.5 points

If polling is as accurate today as it was last election cycle, Trump wins the Popular Vote by 1.2 points.

China has us over a national debt barrel. But we put us there.

NATO, as NATO, is afraid to tackle Russia directly. How do I know this? Because they're hiding behind Ukraine and refuse to come out from behind. If NATO knew they had the wherewithall to fight Russia now, and win, they'd do it in a heartbeat.

And we tried to destroy Russia economically, financially, politically ("regime change" anyone?), militarily... and failed.

We're threatening to steal Russian Central Bank assets. NOT a good look for OUR central banks, or trust in our currency.

Our major ally in the Mideast, Israel, just genocide 30,000+ civilians in Gaza, and attacked an Iranian embassy unprovoked. NOT a good look for us with the global majority.

We're having to juggle military assets between Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Can you say THREE FRONT war?

Dood, we've managed to make enemies all over the world.
We made ourselves vulnerable, financially, economically, militarily, and politically.
Up until now we've managed to intimidate, bully, and regime-change our way across the world for decades, but...

We've also managed to cement the rising powers together, along with a bunch of less powerful nations who are seeing the way the wind blows. They're either shifting loyalty or at least seeking to profit from an "equidistant" relationship and putting us under pressure for better deals that we can't afford

If we don't do better, in a major way, we're going to get rolled. That's ok if you don't care much about America and Americans

I will simplify for you. Trump's life has been difficult for many decades because he is stupid, incompetent, and crooked although he wants people to believe he is smart/capable/honest and the world is an evil conspiracy to harm him. The same is true for Russians. Their lives have been difficult for decades because they are stupid/incompetent/crooked although they want the world to believe Russians are smart/capable/honest and the Western World is an evil conspiracy to harm Russians. I know Trumptards, Trump, and Russians are self-deluded and they can't believe their lives are set by who they truly are, not on what they pretend or imagine or wish they were.

Signym, America's biggest problem has always been the stupid assholes who are attracted to leaders like Trump. These people first came to my attention when I was a ten-year old. I think I mentioned before Joe Duncan, an Eastern Airlines pilot, I knew back in 1962, first in a very long line of assholes I have known. Joe had a high opinion about his importance to society but I knew him to be a loudmouth stupid jerk. Joe is dead, having choked on a chicken bone because he was a greedy bastard, so I cannot prove he would have voted for Trump, but I have known thousands of Joe Duncans since then. The Joe Duncans are a plague on America, much like Trump is. A great deal of my energy while working construction was getting projects completed despite the Joe Duncans screwing things up all while insisting their opinions and demands must be accommodated. There has always been an absurd gap between a Joe Duncan's or a Trump's minuscule accomplishments and their inflated opinion of themselves. When guys like Joe or Trump are fired from projects, schedules don't slip, goofy mistakes and major accidents stop happening, and even theft of fuel and tools is minimized.

Enough of your fake stories.

Dood, you once said you were collecting comics that will be worth something... when you're 130! What 80-year old with his head screwed on straight even thinks like that?

The real problem is that our governing bodies are corrupt, and not thinking about the good of the country/ state/ county/ city.

How did it come to a choice between deep-state, swamp denizen Biden* and wheeler-dealer Trump, or Ted Cruz and Adam Schiff anyway? Dunderheads abound.

But the system, having been thoroughly corrupted by money, works for THEM, not for us, our children, or the long term. Three- front wars? Seriously?

BTW even tho I disagree with Trump on many issues, since foreign policy is the President's bailiwick I most strongly disagree with him about Israel and Iran. Despite that, I give Trump the edge over Biden* for being (mostly) less ideologically driven, more practical in dealing with nations that have leverage over us.

Trump is an asshole.

"In my over 20 years practicing criminal law, I have never observed a defendant refuse to stand and face the jury. Any competent lawyer would tell their client that his fate is in the jury's hands and they will watch everything he does," legal analyst and former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Trump's disrespect for the jury is unwise."

Trump is an asshole and so are his Trumptards. And that is the Truth, Signym, but then you and 6ix proved yourselves assholes with a two-word sentence: "Fuck Ukraine." You and 6ix have proved who you are almost as often as Trump does.

Calmes: The hush money trial has only just begun, but it's not a good look for Candidate Trump

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/calmes-the-hush-money-trial-has
-only-just-begun-but-it-s-not-a-good-look-for-candidate-trump/ar-BB1lOvFY

That's Mrz. Jackie Calmes, to you. She's the first person I've ever seen put her own last name in the title of her article headline.

Well, Mrz. Calmes... I'm going to have to politely agree to disagree about all that. I think it looks just fine on Trump. And pretty much anybody who does already did, and pretty much everyone with a problem with Trump are just seeing more of what you've been seeing all this time.

And none of it has gone well for you so far. And you make it obvious to others that you're aware of that. It's easy to smell it off of you when you write an article like this one.

As for how you finished the article...

Quote:
In short, Trump in just two days all but obliterated the edge he had over Biden on the age issue that so weighs on voters’ minds.

From the start, Trump has made his campaign for reelection an extension of his legal fights, all about him and his grievances. For a time, it worked; he rolled over his Republican rivals for the party’s nomination. Those days are past. He’s penned in. Whether he resembles a jailbird or a crabby baby, he’s hardly projecting the image most voters want in a president.

Meh... Bullshit.

Nobody is going to forget about Biden's "age issue", which we all know is your dog whistle calling out anybody who is rightfully concerned he needs cheat sheet cards at public appearances, he regularly can't finish sentences, and when he does he's just saying something stupid and nonsensical.

That reality isn't going to go away just because Trump is in yet another court case.

Joe Biden*'s only chance is if the Democrats somehow manage to cancel the Presidential Debates this year. Everyone knows that is true, and those who would never admit it are the ones secretly praying that is exactly what happens. Having to get on a debate stage alone with Trump would be the worst possible thing the Democrats could ever allow to happen to Joe. He'd be defenseless, and he would be destroyed.

For Democrats, Trump is an irresponsible ignoramus who has always been in trouble and cannot be trusted as a babysitter, certainly not as a President. But then some silly people see Trump as having special, unique, useful qualities, even if they were Atheists:

A growing contingent of right-wing evangelical Christians view Donald Trump as an actual prophet

By Chris Lehmann | April 15, 2024

https://www.thenation.com/article/society/trump-evangelicals-nar/

It’s a two-minute video that Trump posted to his Truth Social account just prior to the third anniversary of the January 6 insurrection. Called “God Made Trump,” the campaign spot is brazenly messianic in tone and substance:

“God had to have somebody willing to go into the den of vipers, call out the fake news for their tongues as sharp as a serpent’s. The poison of vipers is on their lips, and yet stopped. So God made Trump. God said, ‘I need somebody who will be strong and courageous, who will not be afraid or terrified of the wolves when they attack.” (Here a shot of a wolf baring its teeth briefly morphs into a photo of Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.) “A man who cares for the flock, a shepherd to mankind who won’t ever leave nor forsake them. I need the most diligent worker to follow the path and remain strong in faith, and know the belief of God and country.” Here the background video shows Trump caressing a flag, and being prayed over by a circle of preachers during his 2020 presidential run.

Neatly distilling the central narratives of Trump’s 2024 campaign, while leaning heavily on well-established tropes from the politicized world of evangelical worship, the video delivers a central message: Trump and Trump alone is anointed as your country’s savior, and indeed your personal messiah. Placing Trump at ground zero in the battle for Christian control of the United States is an audacious move—he was, after all, the man who posted a holiday greeting to his Truth Social account inviting his rivals and critics to “rot in hell.” But as “God Made Trump” makes clear, a country besieged by malign and demonic forces can be redeemed only by unlikely and miraculous intervention from on high. God has chosen the person of Donald Trump to cast out all the many evil spirits holding the true America hostage.

The Trump revolution in the Republican Party has shed many of the last remaining vestiges of traditional interest-group alignments—most strikingly, the business-evangelical accord at the heart of the powerful Reagan coalition that reshaped right-wing politics in the 1980s—and has begun to morph into something unprecedented in modern American politics: a nakedly Christian nationalist push for maximum worldly power, primed to usher in a post-democratic age of state-sanctioned Kulturkampf on the right. What began as a faux-populist appeal to rescue an imperiled, mythic “real America” is now a full-fledged political revival movement, replete with personal redemption narratives, baptisms, and a new spiritual argot, steeped in the absolutist rhetoric and disposable memes of the Internet.

A central doctrine that gives the New Apostolic Reformation’s (NAR) theological politics a distinctly militant charge is the notion of spiritual warfare. Where the main run of evangelical eschatology defers the settling of spiritual accounts to the aftermath of Armageddon — the Last Judgment and the Rapture — NAR apostles find the battle for cosmic control embedded firmly in the here and now: in the struggle to direct the leading institutions of public life and culture. To secure such gains, they prophesy the onset of a Third Great Awakening, a worldwide “billion-soul harvest” channeled through the mainstream arenas of power and influence. And the great corollary of this earthbound eschaton is the belief that the movement’s rivals for the control of worldly institutions are not merely mistaken or sinful—they are actual demons, to be vanquished by the full force of divine wrath. The old Protestant dream of a priesthood of all believers has been refurbished for a new spiritual order and a new, meme-fueled network of belief: Now each believer is an armed prophet, keen to reclaim the citadels of power from Satan and his minions.

So many political analysts have either memory-holed how presidential elections actually work in the U.S. or are demonstrating that motivated cognition is one hell of a drug. Because for Trump to lose this election, it does not require over 50 percent of people to say that this trial would flip their vote. Many people are already absolutely determined not to vote for the criminal defendant. As in 2016 and 2020, the 2024 election will come down to margins of 1 or 2 percentage points in just six states. In this game of winner-takes-all, even by a hair, dropping “only” 9 percent of your base upon a Bragg conviction — as the most Trump-favorable poll testing the stakes of this case reports — means you would lose the election. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/03/18/poll-conviction-trum
p-2024-elections-00147338

Thus, while it is absolutely the case that 36 percent of independents saying that a guilty verdict would move them away from Trump is less than the 44 percent saying it wouldn’t, when your vote total is presently neck and neck and electoral precedent says it will come down to the wire, you cannot afford to lose anyone, let alone over a third of the gettable voters. That 36 percent matters greatly.

And so, those who are dismissing the electoral consequences of this criminal trial by declaring that events in Manhattan over the next few weeks will merely animate Trump’s base — a base that will see this trial as yet more proof of the Deep State’s (™) persecution of their Lord — are also demonstrating a fundamental misunderstanding of electoral math. You cannot mobilize the voters who are already absolutely voting for Trump to any greater heights. No matter how rabid their fury, and how bottomless their sense of shared grievance, they still get only one vote each — at least until they figure out how to commit the voter fraud they love to decry on a broader scale. The rank and file in the tank for MAGA cannot become more impactful.

It’s important to remember that this is really an election interference trial, with a crucial trifecta of sex, money, and voter deception. So, yes, the public opinion data is one way to understand the influence — and in fact, it points toward this case being quite consequential. But the larger, as yet unquantifiable element of this criminal lawsuit currently playing out in the midst of a presidential election is the story it transmits. The trial is a long-awaited step toward accountability for a presidential candidate publicly performing the role of criminal defendant, sitting reluctantly before a jury of other Americans. This telegraphs a very loud tale about him and, more importantly, the stakes of this election.

Prosecution says jury should know that Trump is a big fat liar

The jury has been chosen for Donald Trump's hush money trial and the judge has moved on to what's called a Sandoval hearing. This is where the prosecution explain the kinds of questions it would like to ask Trump if he decides to take the stand. For my own amusement and yours, here's a selection of excerpts from the New York Times coverage https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/04/19/nyregion/trump-trial-hush-mone
y

We are now hearing from Matthew Colangelo, a prosecutor with the district attorney’s office, who says that the civil fraud trial finding from the judge — “repeated fraud and illegality” — would be highly relevant in calling Trump's testimony into question.

....Colangelo is bringing up a moment during the civil fraud trial when the judge found that Trump had violated a gag order in that case. The judge in that case summoned Trump to the stand and found that he had lied, and said that his testimony rang “hollow and untrue.”

....Justice Merchan just read another judge’s determination aloud, from a case in which Trump sued Hillary Clinton. That judge found that the lawsuit was "completely frivolous, both factually and legally,” and “was brought in bad faith for an improper purpose.”

Justice Merchan reads another quote from the judge in that suit, in which he labeled Trump a “sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries." The judge said: “He is the mastermind of strategic abuse of the judicial process, and he cannot be seen as a litigant blindly following the advice of a lawyer.” Justice Merchan sounds inclined to allow prosecutors to cross-examine Trump on this matter.

In other words, Trump is a congenital liar and nothing he says on the stand is worth the spit he uses to utter it. That sounds like a very reasonable thing to confront Trump with. It also suggests Trump would be insane to testify on his own behalf.

With Republicans Like These, Who Needs Russian Propaganda?

Some far-right members of Congress seem to be parroting Vladimir Putin’s talking points. That doesn’t mean anti-Ukraine conspiracy theories can’t be homegrown.

By Molly Olmstead | April 20, 2024, 5:50 AM

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/04/ukraine-russia-congress-jo
hnson-republicans-marjorie-greene-putin-propaganda.html

Earlier this month, Republican Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, the head of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Puck News that Russian propaganda had “infected a good chunk of my party’s base.” Several days later, another Republican, Rep. Michael Turner of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said he agreed. “Anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” Turner told CNN, are “directly coming from Russia.”

It was a notable moment—and a telling one, as the House gets ready for a contentious vote on aid to Ukraine. The vote is being loudly protested by far-right politicians including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is pushing to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson from his role over the issue.

It’s not the first time Republican lawmakers have accused their colleagues of essentially being Russian pawns. But as far-right rabble-rousers in the Republican Party have increasingly advocated against continued support of Ukraine—and even some mainstream Republicans no longer interpret Russian aggression as a ruthless threat to democracy and the international order—the most extreme lawmakers appear to be mirroring the Kremlin’s own propaganda.

Last Monday, Greene told Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast that Ukraine was waging a “war against Christianity” and Russians “seem to be protecting” the religion. The idea of Russia as a great (white) Christian nation has been percolating in right-wing thinking for more than a decade, despite Russia’s history of suppressing non-Orthodox Christianity and exerting power over the Russian Orthodox Church.

But Greene didn’t limit herself to praising Russia’s religious nationalism on Bannon’s show: She cited, as fact, anti-Ukraine disinformation that “the Ukrainian government is attacking Christians” and “executing priests.” This prompted former Rep. Ken Buck, another Republican, to call Greene “Moscow Marjorie” on CNN.

And indeed, this assertion does mirror Russia’s own talking points about Ukraine. (In actuality, the crimes Greene accused Ukraine of committing are crimes Russian forces have perpetrated.) But whether the Kremlin’s own talking points are being piped into the brains of right-wing American politicians—or just bear a striking similarity to the new isolationist rhetoric of the far right—is a matter of interesting debate.

I won't predict that Trump will be fine, because "The Interagency" is willing to do anything...and I mean ANYTHING... to stop Trump.

Even if it means a convenient "accident" that takes Trump out.

That they're willing to go as far as they have shows how desperate they are.

Trumptards can't save the country because they won't discipline themselves by which I mean they cheat on their wives and taxes and don't show up for work. Those failures feel picayune compared to the glorious achievements Trumptards fervently believe they could accomplish when they ran the country.

But since angry poor white trash can't get the little things done they can't handle the huge tasks of saving the country from destruction by the Democrats.

Every human being is either already corrupt or corruptible under the right circumstances. The amount of people who cheat on their spouses, cheat on their taxes and don't show up to work are a pure 50/50 split down party lines.

Your constant denial of this fact while saying that anybody who votes Democrat doesn't ever get divorced or lose their job or drink alcohol or do drugs just shows either how delusional you are, or that you're just a flat out liar.

The GOP’s Pro-Russia Caucus Lost.

By Anne Applebaum | April 21, 2024, 6:30 PM ET

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/04/republican-ukraine-r
ussia-aid/678150/

Anyone who seeks to manipulate the foreign policy of the United States, whether the tin-pot autocrat in Hungary or the Communist Party of China, now knows that a carefully designed propaganda campaign, when targeted at the right people, can succeed well beyond what anyone once thought possible. From the first days of the 2022 Russian invasion, President Vladimir Putin has been trying to conquer Ukraine through psychological games as well as military force. He needed to persuade Americans, Europeans, and above all Ukrainians that victory was impossible, that the only alternative was surrender, and that the Ukrainian state would disappear in due course.

Plenty of Americans and Europeans, though not so many Ukrainians, supported this view. Pro-Russia influencers — Tucker Carlson, J. D. Vance, David Sacks — backed up by an army of pro-Russia trolls on X and other social-media platforms, helped feed the narrative of failure and convinced a minority in Congress to block aid for Ukraine. It’s instructive to trace the path of a social-media post that falsely claimed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky owns two yachts, how it traveled up the food chain late last year, from the keyboard of a propagandist through the echo chamber created by trolls and into the brains of American lawmakers. According to Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, some of his colleagues worried out loud, during debates about military aid to Ukraine, that “people will buy yachts with this money.” They had read the false stories and believed they were true.

But with the passage of this aid bill, Russia’s demoralization campaign has suffered a severe setback. This is also a setback for the Russian war effort, and not only because the Ukrainians will now have more ammunition. Suddenly the Russian military and Russian society are once again faced with the prospect of a very long war. Ukraine, backed by the combined military and economic forces of the United States and the European Union, is a much different opponent than Ukraine isolated and alone.

That doesn’t mean that the Russians will quickly give up: Putin and the propagandists who support him on state television have repeatedly stated that their goal is not to gain a bit of extra territory but to control all of Ukraine. They don’t want to swap land for peace. They want to occupy Kharkiv, Odesa, Kyiv, and more. Now, while their goals become harder to reach, is a good moment for the democratic countries backing Ukraine to recalibrate our strategy too.

Once the aid package becomes law this week, the psychological advantage will once again be on our side. Let’s use it. As Johnson himself recommended, the Biden administration should immediately pressure European allies to release the $300 billion in Russian assets that they jointly hold and send it to Ukraine. There are excellent legal and moral arguments for doing so—the money can legitimately be considered a form of reparations. This shift would also make clear to the Kremlin that it has no path back to what used to be called “normal” relations, and that the price Russia is paying for its colonial war will only continue to grow.

This is also a good moment for both Europeans and Americans to take the sanctions and export-control regimes imposed on Russia more seriously. If NATO were running a true economic-pressure campaign, thousands of people would be involved, with banks of screens at a central command center and constantly updated intelligence. Instead, the task has been left to a smattering of people across different agencies in different countries who may or may not be aware of what others are doing.

As American aid resumes, the Ukrainians should be actively encouraged to pursue the asymmetric warfare that they do best. The air and naval drone campaign that pushed the Black Sea Fleet away from their coastline, the raids on Russian gas and oil facilities thousands of miles from Ukraine, the recruitment of Russian soldiers, in Russia, to join pro-Ukraine Russian units fighting on the border—we need more of this, not less. The Biden administration should also heed Johnson’s suggestion that the United States supply more and better long-range weapons so that Ukrainians can hit Russian missile launchers before the missiles reach Ukraine. If the U.S. had done so in the autumn of 2022, when Ukraine was taking back territory, the world might look a lot different today.

This war will be over only when the Russians no longer want to fight—and they will stop fighting when they realize they cannot win. Now it is our turn to convince them, as well as our own pro-Russia caucus, that their invasion will fail. The best way to do that is to believe it ourselves.

Americans Struggle The Most In Cities Controlled By Radical Democrats

A new Census Bureau survey highlights the 15 largest US metro areas where residents face the most financial difficulties, almost all of which are under Democratic leadership. This comes as no surprise as issues of elevated inflation, high taxes, soaring violent crime, and a migrant crisis are spiraling out of control across many blue cities.

The survey asked 70,000 respondents between March 5 and April 1 in major metro areas these three questions:

Difficulty paying for usual household expenses,

food scarcity,

and unable to pay energy bill.

The survey's findings are stark: Riverside, California; Houston, Texas; and Chicago, Illinois, are the top three metro areas with the most financial hardships. All three cities are under Democratic leadership. With the exception of Dallas (#4 on the list) and Miami (#6), the rest of the metro areas are under liberal control.

"The Record" in question has absolutely nothing to do with Democrats. "The Record" is a bunch of lies written up by Signym's favorite source of lies.

For the RECORD and 6ix and Signym: nobody but a Trumptard believes other Trumptards and their complaints about Democrats.

I was watching the local TV news, which I seldom do because of the sad parade of Trumptards in trouble with the law. There was an excerpt from a bail hearing where the defendant loudly complained: "You are making me sound like a bad mother." She had beaten her twins to death. "No mother is perfect. Why am I here?" Then she raged against the Judge and the Prosecutor, accusing them of bias against her. Trumptards (by which I mean Trump, 6ix, Signym) don't understand that 100% of the trouble in their lives is caused by 0.01% of the time they do something wrong, like the occasional beating to death of a child or cheating on taxes or paying a bribe or stealing an election. Since Trumptards are not murdering their children 100% of their waking life, Trumptards can't see why they are in trouble 100% of the time. It doesn't seem fair to Trumptards. Since nobody is perfect, why are they being singled out for something that could happen to anybody who is not perfect?

Try again.
"The Record" in question has absolutely nothing to do with Democrats. "The Record" is a bunch of lies written up by Signym's favorite source of lies.

For the RECORD and 6ix and Signym: nobody but a Trumptard believes other Trumptards and their complaints about Democrats.

I was watching the local TV news, which I seldom do because of the sad parade of Trumptards in trouble with the law. There was an excerpt from a bail hearing where the defendant loudly complained: "You are making me sound like a bad mother." She had beaten her twins to death. "No mother is perfect. Why am I here?" Then she raged against the Judge and the Prosecutor, accusing them of bias against her. Trumptards (by which I mean Trump, 6ix, Signym) don't understand that 100% of the trouble in their lives is caused by 0.01% of the time they do something wrong, like the occasional beating to death of a child or cheating on taxes or paying a bribe or stealing an election. Since Trumptards are not murdering their children 100% of their waking life, Trumptards can't see why they are in trouble 100% of the time. It doesn't seem fair to Trumptards. Since nobody is perfect, why are they being singled out for something that could happen to anybody who is not perfect?

It is the second day of the trial and Trump is already in trouble for contempt of court since Trump wants to be free to do as he pleases at all times and locations. Such Trumptard behavior while on trial causes trouble with judges. Nobody is always free, especially not in a courtroom or while speaking to a crowd that can turn into a mob and storm the Capitol. The inability to firmly grasp that freedom has boundaries you best not go beyond is what's truly wrong with Trumptards.

Check out Trump leading by 0.2 points according to real clear politics. Then check out the polls.

If you disregard or adjust Rasmussen because it has Trump up by 8 points. Twice as much as anyone else. Then if you take into account the poll was conducted at the end of March by an ultra-conservative, you'll see no way Trump still leads Biden. And with the abortion issues taking hold while Trump is on trial, the first of many, I predict Trumps' numbers are going to collapse; hard and soon.

You'd be dismayed to know that 99% of Americans, despite years' worth of opportunities to learn, still are not aware that Trump is crazy, stupid, and dangerous. For one example of Trump's dismaying behavior from last week that was discussed today:

The inherent absurd comedy of these exchanges aside, this is serious stuff. The most egregious Trump post was something the former president put on Truth Social last week after the first two days of jury selection. In it, he went after jurors, which is just about the biggest no-no in the U.S. court system, even if you don’t have millions of rabid fans, some of whom have already demonstrated their willingness to commit crimes at your behest.

The concerns about witness intimidation are very real. Multiple jurors backed out at the last possible moment prior to being seated, and one even did so after being seated. Another juror tried to back out on Monday and was apparently convinced to stay on. Each of the past two days I’ve been in the court, jurors have tended to stare straight ahead without looking at Trump, even though they enter and exit the courtroom by walking right by him. How could they not be intimidated by a man who holds the loudest platform in the country and is willing to use it?

More than 150,000 Republicans voted for Nikki Haley in Pa.’s presidential primary

More than 16% of the state’s GOP electorate supported the former South Carolina governor over former President Donald Trump, the party’s presumptive nominee.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley dropped out of the Republican presidential race in early March but still received more than 16% of the vote in Pennsylvania’s Republican presidential primary Tuesday, a sign of discontent with former President Donald Trump as the GOP nominee.

The vote for Haley, whose name appeared on the ballot despite her campaign suspension, was strongest in Southeastern Pennsylvania, with Montgomery County giving Haley nearly a quarter of the vote.
