[Jeanine Pirro Couldn't Even Indict A Ham Sandwich]

I'd been hoping for an opportunity to post a link to an article with this title, and this afternoon I found one:

Jeanine Pirro Couldn't Even Indict A Ham Sandwich

As per this article:

"Trump supporters have been using the phrase coined by Chief Justice of New York's Supreme Court Sol Wachtler when he said, "any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich," to defend Trump's many misdeeds and criminality, but apparently, the former Fox News host failed to do so."

I'm beginning to wonder if it's even possible to find and hire legitimate college graduates who are more incompetent than all of these very popular Fox News Media "personalities."

The question is, would his replacement be more competent?  Vance is certainly a more compliant puppet for the oligarchs, but he doesn't have anywhere near the charisma of the orange turd. 

Yes, that is the question.

And, following is another quotation from the same article I originally quoted above:

"Now imagine if Trump succumbed to his health problems tomorrow and JD Vance became President. He's a bumbler for certain. But he's not senile. He's not lumbering around like a corpse. Vance would get a honeymoon period from the media. It would take time for us to force Vance's sandals [sic] and extremism into the national conversation even as the media tried to normalize him. And during that time, Vance and the Republicans would accomplish a whole lot of evil."

I have no doubt the MSM, in addition to the MAGAt Media (MM), would happily give Vance a honeymoon period. And, depending upon the timing between now and the 2026 elections, that honeymoon period would probably have catastrophic consequences on our chances of taking the power of the House of Representatives, and possibly even the Senate, away from the Republicult™.

Now, I, personally, believe that Vance is a lying phony. But, I also believe that, like the current POSOTUS he willingly serves, he's in it for the money. And, that makes Vance extremely dangerous.

[Trump death watch has begun]

This morning, I found myself in the strange position of not being able to decide if the real possibility that the POSOTUS may soon "depart this mortal coil" will be a good thing for the Resistance 2.0, or not. And, it was the following article that led me to my indecision:

Trump death watch has begun

As per this article:

"Unless something catastrophic has happened in the short time between when I'm writing this and when you're reading it, Donald Trump is still alive. As I wrote last night, the mere fact that this has to be stated is a problem for Trump. So far this weekend social media has erupted with multiple trending topics which either falsely claimed Trump was dead or asked for proof of life. And while false claims are always unwarranted, the demands for proof of life are absolutely justified, given the circumstances."

This article then goes on to describe the current situation in detail, and discusses the pros and cons of the POSOTUS soon being flushed away.

And, after reading the entire article, it occurred to me that, as much as I want this ignorant sociopath gone right now, it may not be in the best interests of the Resistance 2.0, our republic, or the free world in the long run. For me, it was a clear case of Godwin's law of Nazi analogies arising in my own thoughts. For, I remembered reading, may times, that well into WWII, some Allied leaders began to believe that not assassinating Hitler was helping their war effort far more than if competent German leadership had been given the chance to take over.

[Collins 'alarmed' by Trump firing CDC head]

I suppose I really shouldn't find this kind of thing to be amusing, as the MSM has already done such an outstanding job of normalizing the Republicult's™ behavior, but this article got me to wondering:

Collins 'alarmed' by Trump firing CDC head

Now, Collaborator Collins is always "concerned" about something the Republicult™ is perpetrating, but very rarely does anything more than voice her "concern." So, I always believed "concerned" was her normal DEFCON 5 level.

Then, I realized from the title of this particular article that she's now 'alarmed.' So, I immediately equated Collins being 'alarmed' to her moving from her DEFCON 5 to her DEFCON 4 level.

And so, I decided to actually read the text of this article, and found the following quotation:

'"I am very concerned about and alarmed by this removal," Collins said.'

Then, I became a bit confused, after reading the words, "very concerned," and "alarmed" in the same sentence. And I wondered if "very concerned" and "alarmed" are both DEFCON 4 indicators.

Adding to my confusion, still further down in the same article, I found the following quotation:

'"I am extremely alarmed at the firing of the CDC director," Collins told reporters following an appearance with the Maine Sheriffs Association.'

So, as Collins is now talking "extremely alarmed," I'm wondering if in her mind this situation has actually escalated to her DEFCON 3 level?! But, I think it's far more likely that "very concerned," "alarmed," and "extremely alarmed," are all indicative of her DEFCON 4 level. Or, in reality, are "concerned," very "concerned," "alarmed," and "extremely alarmed," still all just her normal DEFCON 5 level? Based upon her years and years of past behavior, I'm tempted to believe she's still at the latter level. But then, she probably has realized by now that she's an unpopular candidate for reelection in 2026.

[Russia's new middle class can't afford for Putin's war to end]

I was surprised to not find a remotely recent thread dedicated to the Russian/Ukrainian War on this board. (That's, no doubt, because this old, established board now has so few active members.) 

I do not actively follow The Telegraph. But, as per a quick Google search, this British media outlet appears to be fairly well respected. And, the following well-written article, quoted on an American political website, caught me completely off guard:

Russia's new middle class can't afford for Putin's war to end

'Deathnomics' is transforming Russian society. Few would welcome peace

I'm not, as I usually do, going to post any quotations from this particular article. If the title alone is of no interest to you, then neither will be anything else I might attempt to bring to your attention. But, I will say that I found this article to be a sobering, thought provoking read.

[Intel announces $8.9 billion investment from US government, which will own 9.9% of chipmaker]

Worse still, isn't this yet another "gateway drug" leading our country down the path to Biblically Evil Communism?! This sounds like yet another abomination perpetrated by the POSOTUS, and masterminded by his late best friend, Wall Street financier Jeffrey Epstein! And so, I can't help but wonder, to avenge his murder, is the dead fellow pervert's spirit now striking out against Truth, Justice, and The American way from beyond the grave?!   

Intel announces $8.9 billion investment from US government, which will own 9.9% of chipmaker

I thought MAGAts prided themselves on being soulless, take-no-prisoners, laissez-faire, let-the-buyer-beware Capitalists. So, this sounds like even more extreme right-wing hypocrisy to me!

I wish Liberals could separate "good at mocking Trump" from "would make a good president" but that's fine for now, Newsom is definitely doing a good job of mocking Trump.

I agree. As of today, Newsom is not my first choice for the next Democratic candidate for POTUS. But, the election is still a long way off. A lot is going to happen between now and then. And, I'm hoping a number of other good Democratic candidates will "throw their hats in the ring."

[Newsom trolling spree shows signs of success; Bannon gives California governor credit]

Here's a new, effective Resistance 2.0 tactic:

Newsom trolling spree shows signs of success; Bannon gives California governor credit

As per this article:

"Nobody is getting under MAGA's skin quite like California Gov. Gavin Newsom. And it's not just comical — it's effective. Every cable news channel is talking about him, weekly if not daily.

Newsom, who many believe is a likely contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, has taken a page straight from Donald Trump's playbook. He's leaning into Trump's bombastic posting style and serving it back to him, stunt for stunt. His trolling includes a photoshopped image of Mount Rushmore with his face on it, a mock-up of himself as a king on the cover of Time magazine, and even an AI-generated image of Newsom surrounded by Tucker Carlson, the late Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock — before writing in all caps that he hates Kid Rock.

It sounds silly, and that's the point. The déjà vu effect is meant to hold up a mirror to Trumpworld, showing Republicans exactly how absurd their tactics look from the outside. And let's be honest — it's working."

This new tactic against the sociopath-in-chief is not only hysterically funny, it's absolutely brilliant!

[Musk quietly puts brakes on plans for new political party, WSJ says]

To the surprise of few, Musk quietly puts brakes on plans for new political party, WSJ says.

That entire sentence is not really a great clickbait title, but it's accurate.

So, I'm guessing Elmo the Oligarch has come to realize that stating a new, successful political party is the hardest thing it may be possible to do in 'Merican politics. And now, as per this article:

"Musk, the world's richest man, and his associates have told people close to Vance that the billionaire is considering using some of his financial resources to back Vance if he decides to run for president in 2028, the paper said."

And I say, "Go for it, Elmo the Oligarch!" Of course, a lot can, and will, happen between now and 'Merica's 2028 presidential election. But, as of right now, I think Vance is the candidate Democrats can only dream about running against.

[Putin and Trump reach major deal in Alaska]

Putin and Trump reach major deal in Alaska

[financially]

He will meet zelenski, blame him for being unreasonable and then start defending them

That pretty much sums it up. The sociopath-in-chief will get himself yet another photo op, he'll praise "Boss" Putin, badmouth Zelensky, but then give Ukraine more money and arms anyway.

It's been puzzling to me that with all of his current, massive, political power, Putin's Bitch has not completely stopped all 'Merican aid to Ukraine. After all, the Democrats alone are powerless to stop Putin's Bitch from doing Putin's bidding. But, I've just recently come to suspect that 'Merica's old, massive, even more politically powerful, as well as financially powerful, Military-industrial Complex is the reason. My reasoning is that 'Merica's Military-industrial Complex exists to make a buck, and our "patriotic" death merchants have to sell their vast inventories of obscenely expensive, lethal merchandise to someone, anyone, in order to keep their profits flowing.

PS:

As per the latest news, President Zelensky is being accompanied by an impressive contingent of European leaders to his meeting with the sociopath-in chief tomorrow. And, that's going to make it difficult for Putin's Bitch to publicly bully Zelensky, do Putin's bidding, and project the image of the powerful "Leader of the Free World" to the MSM. But, it is going to be interesting to watch the MAGAt Media (MM) attempt to spin this into some kind of a "win" for their messiah.

The sociopath-in-chief's "Big Distraction Russian Summit Meeting" with his war criminal hero was a bust. And, his "Big Distraction Washington D.C. Invasion" appears to be flaming out.

So, now I'm wondering what "The Next Big Distraction From the Epstein/Trump Files" will be. If future episodes of The Turd Reich Reality TV Show don't improve, its ratings are going to plummet, and its not going to win an Emmy Award.

Our Beloved Lady of Discord will do what she wills.

Mere mortals, however, would be wise to avoid snubbing her religion, as it is based upon THE DOCTRINE OF THE ORIGINAL SNUB.

Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!
