91 felonies are how many Trump is charged with so far collectively. In Georgia, if Trump is found guilty of just two of the many charges in that case, he goes to jail.

That old phrase "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" does not apply to Presidents. They are guilty until they prove themselves innocent. Trump has not provided the proof. He has not even proven that he paid all his taxes. After sharing tax returns (because Supreme Court ruled twice that either Trump share or go to jail) showing he paid $750 and others that say the IRS owes him (The IRS disagrees) Trump won't go to the effort to prove anything.

You saw Trump, with all his thousands of legal and tax problems, as a suitable President. It is not surprising that his old problems continued and new ones popped into existence because his new position made it possible to get into new kinds of trouble with the laws.

Legal affairs of Donald Trump as a private citizen
From the 1980s until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump was involved in over 4,000 legal cases in U.S. federal and state courts, including million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, and over 100 business tax disputes. He has also been accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault, with one accusation resulting in Trump being held civilly liable.

Since Trump started running for office, evidence of his criminality and lack of morals followed him. Like his using his charity to enrich himself. He was found guilty of that, and made to shut down the charity and pay a large fine. This is something his son is now dealing with, with his charity. His son is accused of using money raised to help children with cancer, to line his own pockets. I’ll say it again. Trumps son Erick, is now accused of using money he collected with his charity, to help children with cancer, to line his own pockets. How fucked up is that?

Anyway, as with everything that followed, like Trump being charged with 91 felonies, his supporters offered only excuses. Excuses designed to deflect away from the truth. Well, now the bill comes due. In a court of law, witch hunt to name one of his easily disproven defenses, won’t be a defense against facts.

Bottom line, claiming bias or everything is a witch hunt isn’t going to cut it in a court of law. Jack saying Trump with be fine, isn’t going to cut it in a court of law. Especially when all the witnesses self-identify as republicans. His Vice President, cabinet members and lawyers who are witnesses against Trump. They all identify as being Republican. And at this point in time, it is my assertion, that if you are moral then you acknowledge Trump and his sons as being the worst of the worst. If not, then you’ve exposed yourself as not conforming to the accepted standards of morality.

His lawyers love and care because they are being paid $1 million per week. Unlike past lawyers who were cheated by Trump out of their pay, these guys demand payment upfront. That's what happens when Trump's reputation for being slow to pay becomes well-known to the legal community. It is kind of funny how lawyers who worked for Trump once will refuse to work for him again. He needs a steady stream of new lawyers because the old one won't return Trump's phone calls.

Donald Trump will add the newest Georgia indictment to his vast trophy case of whinings, grievances, and sacred sufferings. For his enthusiasts, it will serve as proof that he is the best, smartest, most long-suffering messianic figure in human history. But every time Trump tells an audience that he is facing these criminal sanctions for them, his listeners must wonder whether falsifying documents and lying to elected officials and threatening women in their kitchens is in fact a necessary component of their own civilian lives. Fani Willis adds her evidence against Trump to the heaving pile of stuff none of us ever actually does because only Tony Soprano does them. That lesson may never sink in for some die-hards, but it can indeed begin to look both petty and grimy. This case is important if not essential because, like its predecessors, it peels off yet another layer of spray tan to reveal the truth below.

6ix, I keep repeating this same story but you seem to be unable to grasp the point. These people were my next-door neighbors and Trumptards to the core, repeating the same opinions as 6ix and Signym. To other Trumptards the family seemed sane but to me, they were at the same low levels of sanity where 6ix and Signym dwell. Nothing I said to this family would make them stop and shape up their lives into something more rational. Here is how they ended themselves:

One son was in prison for 10 years for negligent homicide. One son was in prison for 1 year for auto theft. One mother was fatally poisoned with ethylene glycol but nobody went to prison for that. One father with a fatal stroke connected to all this chaos. A gun safe with 20 weapons in it for a household of Trumptards who had no purpose in life. 6ix, I'm giving you a clue as to why I don't vote for the same candidates that Trumptards vote for. One more clue: they were proud of their well-maintained house but now the family is scattered (literally the ashes of two are scattered).

Trump's story of self-destruction in slow motion will probably end as ridiculously as my next-door neighbor's story ended because Trump won't stop acting insane. I suspect there is a stroke in Trump's future as he rages at the unfairness of life.

Trump will be issuing the "report". You got things backwards when you appear to think the government will be issuing the "report". The people I know who appear to get things backwards like you, Signym, are the same people who think Trump is a Holy Martyr to be burned at the stake to save them. But Trump poured gasoline on himself and is daring the world to strike a match. His million dollars per week lawyers are the firemen standing by to put out the blaze, just in case somebody accepts Trump's dare.

Trump is the personification of bad judgment and lack of self-control. But his Trumptards are the same and see nothing exceptionally wrong with him. They want the government to be as faulty as they are. I think they ought to be able to see what a mess they made of their own lives and should restrain themselves from messing up the nation but, like Signym, they get things backwards. They think the government messed up their lives rather than blame themselves for what they obviously did to themselves.

Oh, I agree that Trump often shows the impulsivity so charactreristic of galloping adult ADHD. And having been feted in the world of real estate and the media circus, he's developed an unhealthy ego about what he can, and can't do; and especially the idea that he can bend government to his will by himself. His appointments were abysmal. The only appointee who would have done him any good - Flynn- was railroaded out early, and Trump didn't fight for him.

He also had the bad judgment to think that the establishments of both parties would keep deal that they had struck.

That's a mistake he would not make again, should he be in office!

But the amount of vindictiveness and hysteria being puked up by the DNC, DOJ, FIB and the media is so out of proportion, the charges so baseless and politically-motivated they're worthy of a third-world nation. The establishments of BOTH parties, the media, and those permament employees ("the interagency") who think they should be running government are discrediting themselves massively.

The only thing they're doing with their constant counterfactual narratives

COLLUSION!
QUID PRO QUO!
BLM/ANTIFA PEACEFUL PROTESTS!
TAKE A KNEE!
DEFUND THE POLICE!
RIGHTWING TERRORISTS!
VACCCINE!
FOREVER LOCKDOWNS!
CENSORSHIP IS GOOD!
INSURRECTION!
UKRAINE ... AS LONG AS IT TAKES!

is driving a big, deep wedge between themselves and anyone who has even one foot in reality. At some point, that wedge will be between themselves and a large majority of the population.

Joe Biden* is President and my metabolic age is 16 years younger than my real age, current smoking and behind-me-alcoholism and all.

I'm doing just fine with Democrats running the show, and once they're ousted that's not going to change anything for me, personally.

Many Presidential contenders had no hope because they displayed mental instability one time only. Trump is unstable always. As a bonus, he has been indicted but has never acted sober about those charges as a sane person would. Instead, he has acted completely crazy.

Hillary? Pelosi? Harris? (young, but room temp IQ.) McConnell? This is not a one-party problem!

Trump, as I said many times before he was elected, would be a giant loose cannon in DC. People seem to prefer a loose cannon to what we have NOW, which is a censorial system of corrupt leadership. If the DNC wants to 'solve' the Trump problem, they need to come up with BETTER CANDIDATES that will at least moderate the blatant corruption and have SOME respect for the average American.

Yup. There is not a single electable person running for the Democrat Party, including Biden*.

The only person even remotely electable would be RFK, but TPTB have the Legacy Media slamming him almost as much as they do Trump when they're not outright ignoring him.

Scientific American, Sept. 2023 asks, “What could go wrong with having crazy Trump in the White House?”

Can you think of a narcissist? Some people might picture Donald Trump, perhaps, or Elon Musk, both of whom are often labeled as such on social media. Or maybe India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, who once wore his own name woven in minute gold letters on each stripe over and over again.

But chances are you’ve encountered a narcissist, and they looked nothing like Trump, Musk or Modi. Up to 6 percent of the U.S. population, mostly men, is estimated to have had narcissistic personality disorder during some period of their lives. And the condition manifests in confoundingly different ways. People with narcissism “may be grandiose or self-loathing, extroverted or socially isolated, captains of industry or unable to maintain steady employment, model citizens or prone to antisocial activities,” according to a review paper on diagnosing the disorder.

Clinicians note several dimensions on which narcissists vary. They may function extremely well, with successful careers and vibrant social lives, or very poorly. They may (or may not) have other disorders, ranging from depression to sociopathy. And although most people are familiar with the “grandiose” version of narcissism—as displayed by an arrogant and pompous person who craves attention—the disorder also comes in a “vulnerable” or “covert” form, where individuals suffer from internal distress and fluctuations in self-esteem. What these seeming opposites have in common is an extreme preoccupation with themselves.

Most psychologists who treat patients say that grandiosity and vulnerability coexist in the same individual, showing up in different situations. Among academic psychologists, however, many contend that these two traits do not always overlap. This debate has raged for decades without resolution, most likely because of a conundrum: vulnerability is almost always present in a therapist’s office, but individuals high in grandiosity are unlikely to show up for treatment. Psychologist Mary Trump deduces, from family history and close observation, that her uncle, Donald Trump, meets the criteria for narcissistic as well as, probably, antisocial personality disorder, at the extreme end of which is sociopathy. But “coming up with an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis would require a full battery of psychological and neuropsychological tests that he’ll never sit for,” she notes in her book on the former president.

Now brain science is contributing to a better understanding of narcissism. It’s unlikely to resolve the debate, but preliminary studies are coming down on the side of the clinicians: vulnerability indeed seems to be the hidden underside of grandiosity.

FANTASY OR REALITY?

Tessa, a 25-year-old who now lives in California, has sometimes felt on top of the world. “I would wake up every day and go to college believing I was going to be a famous singer and that my life was going to be fantastic,” she recalls. “I thought I could just keep perfecting myself and that someday I would end up as this amazing person surrounded by this amazing life.”

But she also hit severe emotional lows. One came when she realized that the fabulous life she imagined might never come to be. “It was one of the longest periods of depression I’ve ever gone through,” Tessa tells me. “I became so bitter, and I’m still working through it right now.”

That dissonance between fantasy and reality has spilled into her relationships. When speaking to other people, she often finds herself bored—and in romantic partnerships, especially, she feels disconnected from both her own and her partner’s emotions. An ex-boyfriend, after breaking up, told her she’d been oblivious to the hurt she caused him by exploding in rage when he failed to meet her expectations. “I told him, ‘Your suffering felt like a cry in the wind—I didn’t know you were feeling that way’... all I could think about was how betrayed I felt,” she says. It upset her to see him connect with other people; she reacted by degrading his friends and trying to stop him from meeting them. And she hated him admiring other people because it made her question whether he’d continue to see her as admirable.

Not being able to live the idealized versions of herself—which include visions of being surrounded by friends and fans who love and idolize her for her beauty and talent—leaves Tessa profoundly distressed. “Sometimes I simultaneously feel above everything, above life itself, and also like a piece of trash on the side of the road,” she says. “I feel like I’m constantly trying to hide and cover things up. I’m constantly stressed and exhausted. I’m also constantly trying to build an inner self so I don’t have to feel that way anymore.” After her parents suggested therapy, Henderson was diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) in 2023.

What makes narcissism particularly complex is that it may not always be dysfunctional. “Being socially dominant, being achievement-striving and focused on improving one’s own lot in life by themselves are not all that problematic and tend to be valued by Western cultures,” notes Aidan Wright, a psychologist at the University of Michigan.

Elsa Ronningstam, a clinical psychologist at McLean Hospital in Massachusetts, says the relatively functional variety of narcissism includes having, when things are going well, a positive view of oneself and a drive to preserve one’s own well-being, while still being able to maintain close relationships with others and tolerate divergences from an idealized version of oneself. Then there is “pathological” narcissism, characterized by an inability to maintain a steady sense of self-esteem. Those with this condition protect an inflated view of themselves at the expense of others and—when that view is threatened—experience anger, shame, envy and other negative emotions. They can go about living relatively normal lives and act out only in certain situations.

Here's the thing: We don't HAVE to imagine. Trump already WAS in office.

Did he start any wars? Blow up the WH? "Destroy democracy as we know it"?

Order censorship? Collude with Russia? Organize a wide-ranging security-state, DOJ, and media attack on political rivals?

Open the border to a horde of illegal aliens? Take a knee? Defund the police?

You should stop paying attention to what politicians say about themselves, totally ignore what they say about each other and compare them on their record.

It's bullshit pretending to be science.



STAND UP A BETTER CANDIDATE AND I WILL VOTE FOR HIM OR HER.

If the DNC or RNC can't do that, I'll write Trump in because his record is better than anyone else's so far. Tulsi would do. RFK Jr. Rand Paul. You have choices. I suggest you promote them.

Biggest tax cut in history and the biggest increase in the national debt in one term.

Trump on TV 24/7 yammering about himself and how smart he is. Stable Genius TV.

Trump obstructing justice. Trump paid by foreign governments. Trump not paying his taxes. Trump not showing up for the inauguration of Biden. Trump stealing government documents as he leaves DC then lying for years about stealing them.

Almost forgot: Trump spent his last months in office changing the votes of the Electoral College but some disloyal members of his government changed them back to what the votes originally were.

The Wheels Of Justice Turn Slowly . . .

By Andrew Tobias On August 17, 2023

. . . and desperately need to be reformed (if you ask me).

An enforceable code of ethics for the Supreme Court for obvious starters, but it’s way more than that.

Six years ago, a woman walking in Central Park was almost killed a falling tree. A settlement — $5.5 million — was reached last month, and it cost her $1 million in legal fees to reach it. (The defendants doubtless had big legal fees, as well.) Is this really the best system for settling such cases? Six years?

In 1996, I put Prop 202 on the California ballot to encourage “early settlements.” It was endorsed by the business community and conservatives like Robert Bork; but also by two former deans of Harvard Law School, Derek Bok and Erwin Griswold, former ACLU President Norman Dorsen, and even a former president of the American College of Trial Lawyers, Leon Silverman.

It came really close — 48.79% of the vote!

I called California’s then-Secretary of State, Bill Jones.

“All I need,” I told him over and over for an hour, “is for you to find . . .”

No, wait; wrong fantasy. I didn’t call him; I admitted defeat.

But I still believe something like Prop 202 makes sense — a way to give both sides an incentive to settle more quickly.

I just finished listening to Big Sugar, a riveting nine-part podcast about a 15-year legal battle that the plaintiffs quickly won — $51 million — but that Big Sugar ultimately won. If you listen, I doubt you’ll think justice was done. (Interesting sidenote: the same scientists paid to say there’s no link between sugar and diabetes morphed into the scientists who found no linkage between smoking and cancer or fossil fuels and climate change. But I digress.)

It reminded me of ParkerVision’s 13-year battle with Qualcomm, where a jury awarded PRKR $173 million in 2011, but where, so far, the company has received nothing. And may well never.

It reminded me also of its recent suit against Intel, where a jury could well have awarded more than $250 million — which the judge could then have trebled — but where, for reasons hard to fathom, the jury was not given a chance to hear the case. Instead, the judge more or less forced ParkerVision to settle for $25 million.

Maybe 20 years from now there will be a podcast about that one.

(I still have a huge number of shares, and there’s some possibility of upside from today’s dime a share — hey, 20 cents would be a double! A buck someday would be a home run! But I’m no longer holding my breath. The justice system crushed us.)

The big frustration, though, 10 billion times as important as ParkerVision, is how hard it has been, first, to impeach Trump — don’t read the Mueller report or credit the view of more than 1,000 former Republican and Democratic prosecutors, just take his word for it — and, now, how hard it’s been to pursue the indictments.

We all watched him urge his followers to come to DC — “it will be wild” — and exhort them to march to the Capitol and “fight like hell,” knowing many were armed . . . we all watched them storm the Capitol . . . he watched them storm the Capitol . . . for 187 minutes before he reluctantly called them off . . . we have all heard his call to Georgia’s secretary of state.

Why does it take years and years to investigate and adjudicate?

Why not quick justice for the really obvious pieces and then a succession of “superseding indictments” as the full scope of the conspiracy becomes better and better known?

I’m not an expert, but I can’t believe this is the best we can do.

Grrrrrr.

Updated on March 31, 2023
During the first part of a president's term, they operate under the previous president's budget.
The best way to measure debt by president is to add their budget deficits and compare it to the debt level when they took office.
Five presidents who contributed the most, percentage-wise, to the national debt are Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.

Those documents BELONG TO THE PRESIDENT. Even the Presidential archive has to negotiate with outgoing Presidents which documents he chooses to turn over, and which he chooses to keep. That's your TDS showing. Again.

Baloney.

Did Trump get us into a multi-billion economy-sucking war that threatens to turn into WWIII... or, alternately, dismember NATO?

Did Trump open the southern border to tens of millions of illegal aliens?

Did Trump mastermind a coordinated WH/ security state/DOJ/ media attack on his politsl rivals, smearing them in the press with egregiously false accusations?

Did Trump take a knee to rioters, or promote defunding the police?

Stop focusing on blather SECOND, and distance yourself from your TDS. Yanno, get a sense of perspective.

If the DNC can't put up any better candidates than Biden*, Harris, or Hillary they deserve to go down up flames.

Those other people you mention in your "but-what-about-defense" of Trump did not break the law, at least according to any grand jury.

On the other hand, Trump is in trouble with the law because he breaks it. Grand juries indict him for what he did.

Trump's national deficits are not measured percentage-wise, but in absolute dollars, not adjusted for inflation. He promised he would not only have a zero deficit but would pay off the national debt. That could never happen because he lowered taxes for himself and the IRS stopped collecting taxes from the wealthy, in particular, from Trump. You can see his tax returns. He demands multi-million dollar funds for several years. The IRS, as far as anybody but Trump knows, refuses to pay him and he refuses to pay what he actually owes. It is a very silly system of "collecting" taxes where nothing gets collected.

While we are talking about national debts, the US spent more than $10 trillion on nukes to reassure Republican congressmen that the US could destroy Russia if it nuked the US, which Russia has threatened to do thousands of times over many decades, but Signym denied that happened. And Ukraine fights Russia because Russia killed 60 million of its own people, despite Signym and Russians denying that happened. If you include Ukrainians in the total, Russia killed 4 million of them. That is a strong motivation for Ukrainians to fight on. Per usual, Signym denied the murders even happened.

Trump and Russia are in trouble with the law because both break the law, even if Signym and 6ix deny that laws were broken.

Trump pays a million dollars per week to his lawyers because he is in trouble. Were he innocent, two mediocre lawyers paid $500/hour would be more than enough to defend him with their highly persuasive summation that any jury would happily believe and vote for Trump's acquittal after only a hour of deliberation. Trump would want to go on trial immediately. But Trump needs dozens of lawyers to bamboozle the jury because he knows he is guilty. He is trying to delay the trials.

It would be an excellent change of pace if the USA followed the example of other countries. It would also be fine if Trump paid all of his taxes for once in his life. About $1 trillion in taxes is not collected each year which makes tax cheating by the wealthy a common occurrence. Some of that cheating is Trump setting a bad example for others. 'If the President can cheat, so can I' would be their justification.

Hunter Biden CC'd On Call Between Then-VP Joe And Former Ukraine President

Thursday, Aug 17, 2023 - 07:35 AM

House Republican investigators have asked the National Archives to hand over any unredacted records in which then-VP Joe Biden used a pseudonym.

Previously released emails retrieved from Hunter's abandoned laptop reveal that Biden used a "Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov"; email address while he was serving as Vice President of the United States. What's more, that Biden aide John Flynn cc'd Hunter on 10 emails which contained Joe's daily schedule between May 19 and June 15, 2016.

One of the emails details plans for a phone call with Ukraine's former president, Petro Poroshenko. Flynn copied Hunter at his email address at Rosemont Seneca Partners - while Hunter was serving on the board of Ukrainian energy giant, Burisma, which was deemed to be corrupt by the Obama-Biden State Department.



So, when is Joe going to jail?

There is an abundance of evidence that Russians murdered 64 million Russians plus Ukrainians, but the Russians deny everything all the time. There is evidence the US spent more than $10 trillion on nuclear weapons so that Russians would not murder Americans, but Russians deny that they made threats. There is evidence in the indictments that Trump committed the crimes, but Trumptards deny it without looking at any indictment, ever. There is plenty of evidence in my neighborhood that Trumptards are criminals and stupid to boot (keep smoking like a chimney, eating like a pig, drunk as a skunk, and drugged out of your minds, Trumptards), including my next-door neighbors, which makes it unexceptional that those criminals support Trump, their indicted leader.

Trump Discovers That Some Things Are Actually Illegal

The cases against the former president aren’t criminalizing politics. They’re criminalizing, well, crimes.

Following each new indictment of Donald Trump, the former president and his allies have wasted no time in attacking the case. Their complaints have gravitated toward one idea in particular: the notion that prosecutors have charged Trump for engaging in the normal work of politics.

The latest indictment, in Fulton County, Georgia, is “an example of this criminalization of politics,” commented Florida Governor Ron DeSantis—who’d made a similar comment last month about Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump on charges related to January 6. Jenna Ellis, who was charged alongside Trump in Fulton County, tweeted on Tuesday, “The Democrats and the Fulton County DA are criminalizing the practice of law”—a reference, presumably, to the indictment’s focus on her role as a member of Trump’s legal team working to overturn the 2020 presidential election. On Truth Social, Trump himself posted, “These monsters … are Criminalizing Political Speech, a total SHUTDOWN OF DEMOCRACY!”

These claims of criminalizing politics are themselves nothing but spin. They imply that Trump and his associates took no action beyond typical political maneuvering. Nevertheless, there’s something telling about this phrasing. Politics, it suggests, is a dirty game, where the players jockey viciously for advantage—and if the game becomes rough, well, nothing can be done about that.

But that actually is not the case: Attempting to overturn an election and hold on to power despite the will of the voters is far from typical politics. Regardless of what Trump and other Republicans are arguing, somewhere a line does exist separating the ugly but acceptable from the potentially criminal. And prosecutors allege that Trump crossed it.

The Trump presidency generated an enormous amount of discussion about “norms”—the unwritten rules of American political life that everyone tacitly agrees to and that keep democracy functioning. Many of these norms had been somewhat invisible until Trump began shattering them, by doing things like profiting from his business during his time in office or demanding that the Justice Department investigate his political enemies.

But what makes a norm a norm is, at least in part, the fact that it’s not necessarily a legal obligation. When Trump bulldozed through these collective agreements about how politicians and particularly presidents should behave, in many cases there was no obvious means by which to punish him, legally speaking, or hold him back. Much of the public learned for the first time that many things they believed had been required by law—such as the expectation that presidential candidates release their tax returns—were essentially just gentlemen’s agreements. Trump’s actions raised this question so frequently that The Washington Post launched a podcast titled, simply, Can He Do That? Often, the Post’s reporters discovered, the answer was “yes.”

The power of the presidency is far-reaching, and Trump proved uniquely skilled at exploiting his authority in the areas where controls were weakest. In many instances, the reach of that power was precisely what had made normative constraints so crucial: For example, because the Constitution places few limits on presidential authority over the Justice Department, it’s all the more important that presidents restrain themselves from demanding that the attorney general investigate their enemies. (Trump, as the Mueller report revealed, did not abide by this tradition.)

In addition, the Justice Department’s internal guidance advises against indictment of a sitting president, reasoning that criminal charges would make it impossible for the chief executive to carry out his constitutional role. That policy helped Trump escape charges of obstruction of justice in the Mueller investigation. Instead of the threat of prosecution, the only real constraint on a president’s actions—other than impeachment, which Trump survived twice—is that of political norms. This taste of presidential power may have given Trump a sense of invincibility—perhaps a misguided one.

Among the many norms that have long held up American democracy is the shared belief that political candidates should accept the outcome of a free and fair election. And if, after the 2020 election, Trump had confined his discontent to grousing on Twitter about supposed fraud, that would have violated this norm but, in all likelihood, not have been illegal. Yet according to both Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Trump’s actions moved from destructively poor sportsmanship to outright illegality when he began actively scheming to hold on to power. “The Defendant had a right, like every American, to speak publicly about the election and even to claim, falsely, that there had been outcome-determinative fraud during the election and that he had won,” the Smith indictment states. But Trump “also pursued unlawful means of discounting legitimate votes and subverting the election results.”

Sometimes, then, the answer to the question Can he do that? is actually “no,” at least not legally. Consider, for example, Smith’s decision to charge Trump under Title 18, Section 241, of the U.S. Code, a civil-rights statute first passed during Reconstruction to empower the federal government to combat white-supremacist attacks on Black Americans. Courts have since interpreted the law as prohibiting efforts to interfere with both the process of voting and the accurate counting of the vote. As recently as March, the Justice Department secured a conviction under Section 241 of a pro-Trump troll who, in 2016, posted images to allegedly trick Hillary Clinton supporters into giving up their votes. Trump will certainly challenge the application of Section 241 to his case—as did the Twitter troll, unsuccessfully. But the idea that the statute prohibits some degree of chicanery around elections has been enshrined in American law for decades.

State law adds to this landscape, too. Repeatedly throughout his presidency, Trump arguably violated his own oath of office and encouraged others to violate theirs. At the federal level, the oath isn’t judicially enforceable; the president’s adherence to it can’t be investigated by a prosecutor or charged by a grand jury. It is, once again, a reflection of a normative commitment to carrying out the duties of the office in the public interest. Georgia, though, criminalizes the violation of an oath by a “public officer” in the state. And the Fulton County indictment charges Trump with soliciting Georgia officials—whom he pressured to overturn the state’s election results—to violate their oaths.

That Trump has been charged with these crimes doesn’t mean he’ll be convicted. And securing accountability for his wrongdoing is a much larger project than criminal law, whether at the state or federal level, can carry out on its own. After all, Trump will be busy campaigning for the presidency at the same time as prosecutors are hoping to bring these cases to trial—and even following a conviction, voters could still decide to grant him a second term. But the indictments are a signal that the foundation of American democracy rests on more than norms alone. These prosecutors aren’t criminalizing politics. They’re criminalizing, well, actual crimes—ones that Trump and his allies are alleged to have committed.

It is not a crime for a Trumptard to stink up their house with tobacco smoke, fall down drunk & vomiting, crash their car into their own garage door, overdose, grow obese, set their house on fire while cooking or vote for a criminal, but it is stupid. (I have seen Trumptards do all these things and some especially stupid Trumptards in the neighborhood have done all of them, but not on the same day. They spread out their stupidity over months.)

Brains are supposed to be wet, retard. They're made up of 75% water.

You don't even have one, so you don't get to have an opinion on the matter.








While anyone can develop the disorder, people who consume alcohol are more likely to develop the condition. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 80% of people with alcohol use disorder have a thiamine deficiency.1

Research shows that wet brain is more likely to develop in men than women. This is because men are more likely to be diagnosed with alcohol use disorder, the leading cause of wet brain.2 With the proper treatment and management, it's possible to reverse the damage the condition has caused to your brain.
Characteristics of Wet Brain

Wet brain causes varying symptoms depending on the stage of your condition. A persistent sign is confusion, which often makes it difficult for people with the disorder to realize that something is wrong with them. Many signs of wet brain are similar to alcohol intoxication, which makes it essential to look out for signs of the condition when a person is sober.

Yep Jack, that's you

T




Actually, as much as it might pain you to hear it, Ted, the information you have provided here is helpful.

Though I don't suffer from many of the symptoms of Wernicke-Korsakoff, particularly the really bad late-stage symptoms, it turns out that Thiamine deficiency can actually be intimately linked to both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, as Thiamine plays an important role in breaking down carbohydrates. When somebody drinks every day, their kidneys flood the blood stream with Thiamine and alcoholics can have as little as 25% of it than people who don't drink. It also turns out that consuming coffee can deplete the body's stores of Thiamine as well, and even though the levels of coffee that I drink might not effect an otherwise healthy person at my age and build, if I was coming off of years of out of control drinking and heavily deficient in the first place, I might actually be operating at a level of the vitamin that is not healthy long-term.

I've looked through my lab work and it turns out that so far we haven't tested for this. I'm actually a little annoyed about this because I've been completely honest with every doctor I've seen so far about the fact that I've been sober now for over 6.5 years but I used to drink HEAVILY. Yet not one doctor has had any lab work drawn up for B1 deficiency. Because of the nature of diabetes, it turns out that a lot of Thiamine deficiency issues get missed in both type 1 and type 2 diabetics.

I've put in a request for these tests, and hope to have them done this upcoming week.

Although I know you're just being a dick like you always are, and you're using the term "wet brain" as the insult that it is and the term for Wernicke-Korsakoff that the medical community does not like people using, if it turns out that I have a strong B1 deficiency that was chronic and I can get it fixed, you may have just inadvertently saved my eyesight long-term as well as possibly saved me from having actual memory and other cognitive issues later in life. And who knows? By pointing this out, you may have even made my Diabetes even easier to manage since Thiamine plays such an important and active role in the body's use of carbohydrates and glucose.

So... Thanks.






Glad I could help.

T




Got the lab work done for it today along with my basic panel for my cardio visit on Wednesday. Basic wasn't needed, just like I knew it wouldn't be. Everything they test for was just the same as it was in early May, so no liver problems keeping me from doing the CAT scan.

I won't have the Thiamine deficiency lab results for 3 to 5 days though. So maybe not until Monday at the latest. Hopefully before then though.

--------------------------------------------------

How you do anything is how you do everything.




I got the results today. I'm sorry to have to tell you the bad news buddy, but I'm not wet brained.

I came in at 131nmol/L. The desired range is 65.5 to 200nmol/L, which puts me a few points over dead center.

My doctor is probably going to wonder why the hell I asked for the order, but I'm glad I got the test done since B1 deficiency can be catastrophically bad for a Diabetic.

Thanks for bringing it up.

As Long As You Keep Repeating Something . . .
By A.T. On August 18, 2023
https://andrewtobias.com/as-long-as-you-keep-repeating-something/

The first 12 seconds, from Trump’s former press secretary, are particularly good:

Donald Trump lives in his own reality, and he lies casually, but he’s very very good at it. He used to teach me: “Stephanie, as long as you keep repeating something, it doesn’t matter what you say.”

Not only is he one of just three U.S. presidents ever to have been impeached, let alone twice (with a 57-43 bipartisan majority of senators voting to convict the second time) . . . the only U.S. president ever to have been indicted, let alone four times . . . he is also the only president ever to have kept a book of Hitler’s speeches by his bedside.

(And to have exchanged “love letters” with a dictator; sided with Russia over the FBI; and said, “Hitler did a lot of good things.”)

I emphasize this last point, because his instruction to Stephanie Grisham — “Stephanie, as long as you keep repeating something, it doesn’t matter what you say” — is essentially an instruction on effectuating The Big Lie.

>> From Scientific American: Repeated exposure to implausible statements makes them feel less so.

>> From an American correspondent’s introduction to that 1941 book of speeches:

[Hitler’s oratory] stirs hatred and feeds self-vindication, and whether on paper it bears inspection for consistency, logic or soundness is immaterial.

>> From a French journalist’s foreword:

To use constantly and untiringly the same arguments, and to pound into the heads of his listeners the same formulas, is part of Hitler’s oratorical technique. . . . [He] is past master at throwing up verbal smoke screens . . . He knows equally well the effectiveness of massive oratorical assaults that shake the nerves of his victims or opponents . . . he knows how to give pledges that will be broken later . . . he uses insults and lies in the same manner as his generals use planes and tanks to break through the respectable but often weak front of his adversaries. . . . His crudity frequently borders on downright vulgarity.

Sound like anyone we know?

How else to explain all the good people who believe Trump is the victim of a witch hunt?

One of those good people — Jewish and a strong supporter of Israel, as it happens — reads this column daily; and, daily, sends refutation or taunt.

Yesterday, he sent this clip about remarks made by a former white Christian nationalist Trump appointee (whom Trump subsequently pardoned), blaming Jews for their deportations to the concentration camps.

My reader called it a reason to question Trump’s judgment (ya think?), “however, nothing Trump did compares to the Biden crime family bribe-taking, Afghanistan debacle and cutting down the oil production that created the 9% inflation.”

I pointed out all the obvious things anyone on “our side” would.

>> That leaving Afghanistan by May, 2021, was a deal TRUMP had committed the U.S. to and that — though it certainly could have gone better — it might not have been an easy thing for the military to execute even if Trump had still been in charge.

>> That attributing the spike in global inflation to Biden’s restrictions on future oil exploration — rather than to pent-up COVID demand, supply chain problems, and Russia’s invasion of Iraq — made no sense.

>> And that the “Biden crime family” consisted of one community college professor not known for her lavish lifestyle; one former drug and alcohol abuser who shamelessly traded on his father’s name; and the Amtrak-riding kingpin himself, on whom Trump — with all the powers of the presidency and, presumably, Russia’s intelligence service — had been unable to pin any crime.

Much like the much-anticipated Durham report that flopped — but unlike the much-anticipated Mueller report that turned up what more than 1,000 former Republican and Democratic federal prosecutors deem to have been multiple felonies — all Trump’s efforts, and those of now-Special Counsel David Weiss, have failed to reveal anything of note the President has done.

(Ah, retorted my reader, “Garland appointed the fox, David Weiss, to guard the hen house and YOU don’t see any corruption?” I pointed out that TRUMP appointed David Weiss in 2018 and Garland let him stay and continue his investigation. And that when Weiss recently asked for the extra powers of a special counsel, Garland granted them. Would my reader have felt Garland was less corrupt, I asked, if he had replaced Trump’s guy with a Biden appointee? Less suspect if he had refused the Trump appointee’s request for extra powers? To which my reader replied — and I quote — “George Washington appointed Benedict Arnold. History is replete with despicable traitors.”)

I know what you’re thinking: “Why do you even bother?”

And I generally don’t — it’s quicksand.

Millions of misinformed people like my reader are certain that Marxists like me and Joe Biden are out to ruin America with all this bipartisan infrastructure, record-low unemployment, renewed manufacturing base, affordable health care, and, of course, our plan to give women and parents the right to make difficult health care choices with their doctors.

They have drunk the Kool-Aid.

All this against the background of . . . what does any of it have to do with Trump, anyway?

If evidence emerges that Joe Biden is a crime family boss (or Tom Hanks, a serial killer), the same Justice Department memo that shielded Trump from prosecution while in office would shield Joe (though not Tom). But once out, that evidence should be presented to a grand jury — or four, if warranted — and the process be allowed to take its course.

As is now finally happening with Trump.

The difference being that, where Biden in such circumstances would conduct himself with decorum, Trump is making veiled threats to witnesses, jurors, and poll workers and leading his followers to make explicit threats — very much as a crime family boss would.*

Let us hope that those witnesses, jurors, and poll workers find the courage not to cave (because our democracy hangs by a thread); and that you, dear reader, have a great weekend.

Q: Are people with diabetes more likely to develop cognitive impairment than people without diabetes?

A: Yes. Studies have demonstrated that people who have diabetes, compared with people without diabetes, are more likely to develop cognitive problems. Older adults with diabetes have higher incidences of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and vascular dementia External link than those with normal glucose tolerance.

What I want my evangelical Christian friends to know about Trump
by Issac Bailey August 19, 2023 6:00 AM

In the eyes of a significant number of white evangelical Christians, loyalty to Donald Trump is more important than following Jesus.

Trump is their Savior now.

It’s not hyperbole. It’s a sad reality in which we find ourselves, why the country hasn’t been able to move on from one of the most destructive political forces of the modern era.

I didn’t need media intelligence firm Zignal Labs and The Associated Press to tell me. They conducted an analysis of online and social media content earlier this year and found “tens of thousands of mentions calling Trump a martyr” when Trump faced his first indictment in New York during the Christian Holy Week. That number doubled when Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene compared Trump’s arrest to the literal persecution of Christ.

“Trump is joining some of the most incredible people in history being arrested today,” the congresswoman told Right Side Broadcasting. “Nelson Mandela was arrested, served time in prison. Jesus — Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government.”

I was at the New York courthouse in the days and hours leading up to Trump’s first arraigned. It was more circus and spectacle than crucifixion or execution.

Neither did I need Russell Moore, a former top official in the Southern Baptist Convention and current editor-in-chief of Christianity Today magazine, to tell me. Because I saw the beginnings of it during the end of my 17-year-long membership in a mostly-white Evangelical church in Conway, S.C. Because I noticed the shift in my daily interactions with people I once prayed with long before Moore recently told NPR that he believes Christianity is in crisis.

“It was the result of having multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — ‘turn the other cheek’ — [and] to have someone come up after to say, ‘Where did you get those liberal talking points?’ Moore told Scott Detrow of NPR. “And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ,’ the response would not be, ‘I apologize.’ The response would be, ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak.’ And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”

They’ve told pastors Jesus is weak, or at least his message, and that Trump is strong. They seem to believe following Trump instead of Jesus will get them to a promised land of glory and power quicker.


Or maybe they think, like that Zignal Labs analysis suggests, Trump is Jesus or a Jesus-like figure, though not the version who was born in a manger, hung out with the unclean, and washed other people’s feet to model humility and the importance of “the least of these.” Maybe in their minds, Trump is the Jesus of Revelation. He’s the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords with a sword in his mouth who has come back to judge the righteous and unrighteous, to wage war.

“I Am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end,” Jesus declared in Revelation, the final book of the New Testament.

During the 2016 Republican National Convention, Trump declared: “I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people who cannot defend themselves. Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it.”

Two thousand years ago, Jesus voluntarily became a sacrificial lamb, giving his life to save us from our sins. Trump voluntarily relinquished a billionaire’s lap of luxury — and even his salary as president — to save the country from its sins, they’ve argued while praising him. (Never mind the hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign actors his family made while he was in the White House, and since.)

Like Jesus, despite all Trump has had to endure — such as supposedly having an election stolen from him — the former president is still standing, still fighting evil on their behalf. In their view, Christians who oppose Trump are blind and don’t realize he was sent for a time like this to fight powers and principalities, not to improve the short-term political fortunes of the elite.

A return to the White House would be like Jesus’; his garment will be stained with his enemies’ blood.

The horror that was Jan. 6, 2021 likely emboldened them rather than shocked their conscience. It’s why they view every Trump indictment not as democracy working as intended, upholding the principle that no man is above the law, but as akin to a lash from a Roman soldier’s whip on Jesus’ back.

I wish it weren’t true. But it is.

It’s a mindset similar to the one that convinced Edgar Maddison Welch to drive from North Carolina to a Washington, D.C., pizza parlor, convinced he had to save children from an imaginary satanic child sex ring funded and operated by Democrats.

He was armed with an AR-15 rifle and a pistol, and fired a shot inside Comet Ping Pong, only to realize too late he had been taken in by a hoax. He was sentenced to four years in prison.

I hope those who’ve come to believe Trump is here to save us wake up before it’s too late for us all.

No source, I see. Gee... I wonder why that is.

So I can only assume that you wrote this because I'm not wet brained and you're angry about it, huh bitch?


Most people with diabetes are also fatty fat fatties that can't control their eating and shoot up insulin all day long while they gunk up their innards with bear claws and Ben and Jerry's. They can't even manage to keep their average level at the recommended 154mg/dL even though they're shooting up 60 to 100 units of insulin every day, and my average is 111mg/dL with only 20 units of long every morning. That's probably only about 20 more average than you've got, and is inconsequential.

I'm going to outlive you by 20 years Ted, and I'd have to lose 150 IQ points to be as stupid as you are.

You want to worry about somebody with dementia? Look no further than your brain dead president.

Trump is making a huge legal mistake

Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis has been charged alongside him in the Georgia criminal case, said the former president isn’t picking up the tab for her defense.

And ex-Trump attorney and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was also indicted, reportedly traveled to Florida to plead for money for his defense, but didn’t get much.

Cohen said that decision could haunt the former president.

“He has not learned yet ... three people you don’t want to throw under the bus like that: your lawyer, your doctor, and your mechanic,” he told Collins. “Because, one way or the other, you’re gonna go down the hill and there’ll be no brakes.”

He said Giuliani in particular should cooperate with investigators.

“He’s gonna need to speak,” Cohen said. “And he’s gonna need to speak before everybody else does.”

Asked if Trump was making a mistake by not paying for Giuliani’s defense, Cohen shot back: “Absolutely.”
