"the most ironic line of the speech, Barr notes that the “essence of the rule of law is that whatever rule you apply in one case must be the same rule you would apply in similar cases.” That’s exactly what was not done with Stone and Flynn" washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
I was watching yet another "Trump is an Asshole" documentary last night. He seems pretty predictable except with those that have real dirt on him. Stone must have something pretty exceptional in his vault. I hope Barr has been working the scanner at the DOJ late at night.
Steven Miller exercising Bill Barr.
BTW all the "Trump is an Asshole" docs are pretty much identical.. Basically same clips, same people, same stories. Which does a disservice to explain why he was able to connect with so many people. They forgot that "the bad guy" is a more popular US trope than "the good guy"
People forget that the"ambiguous moral hero" or "villian protaganist" is more common in recent history than before. Entertainment demands intensity and complexity. Characters like DeadPool, Oceans' movies or Darth Vader. Evil is in. thewritepractice.com/villain-protag…
Trump harnessed the reality show/Wrestling zen of reality show villain. Like Spencer Pratt and Heidi . RSVs were just faking it to make it. You just needed a new script twist every week. Trump delivers a "gotcha" plot twist every day. collider.com/galleries/best…
I want is a deep psycho-analysis of why parts of America cheers a fake villain to fight for them so they can think its all just fake and good fun. When in real life Trump is a criminal and a coward pretending to be a bad guy to be viewed as a good guy. economist.com/united-states/…
Classic cult leader stuff. Triggering hatred and anger in followers who suddenly look very stupid once the dear leader takes a dirt nap. Yeah I am talking to all the media mouthpieces, acting directors and Quisling lackey's Trump keeps stuffing into cracks in his administration.
Cult? Did you say? Yes Trump snaps nicely into the criteria used to describe cult leaders. (Insert comment about how Charlie Manson only killed x people here) Prove me wrong. livescience.com/65164-what-cul…
But there is a catch, even wrestling fans don't match Donnys demos. Donny pulls where there is anger and division. "nonurban, blue-collar and now apparently quite angry population,” news.gallup.com/poll/3637/two-…
Yes Donnies fans are spoiling for a fight.

Tajik is similar to Farsi/Dari and there is much ethnic crossover between Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan (thanks Stalin) So its not the time to pin the tail on the terrorist donkey. ISIS-K is considerd a Pakistani/Afghan aka TTP/AQ group. Odd.
In the early years (2000) AQ and the talbs worked with Tajik and Uzbek groups and were oftern confused as "Chechens" (which is what the Afghans called them) but they were more likely to be Uzbeks or Tajiks who had no way out via Pakistan so they held a last stand in Tora Bora.
Totally normal for mercenary ops that are not jihadi but same recruitment pool. Balkans to Phillipines. It's easy to hire faux jihadis. Some are even double agents. These guys seem like lost lonely Sad Sacks who needed money. Life is cruel that way... specially on the internet
Our enemies don't want to win. They want to keep us in a perpetual state of losing. Confusion, bickering, doubt, whipsawing and anger are all part of active measures.
"33% of Americans express some level of satisfaction with how well their system of government works."
Social media provides a direct conduit for enemy propaganda to your brain. Do they amplify internal concerns or create fictional ones?
Biden was handed a flaming bag of dog shit when he took over. Does he dance to the village people? Is he out on bail? Is he nearing bankruptcy? Well that's a start.
Remember when I caught this on Zillow last year? I was pummeled for pointing out a computer glitch? One person said it might have been an internal transfer. Well…..
It seems the Trumperly GriftBillies play pretty fast and loose with paperwork and corporate registrations. Did they try to pull a fast one in August 2023?
Now that we know that Donny and the banks happily accepted his fraudulent evaluations, it is time to go back into the Deutsche Bank story. A money laundering outlet for Russia that was looking for whales. Val Broeksmit had docs that his father gave him.
Val was a complex character but it was his father that had the goods on Trump and Deutsche Bank. nytimes.com/2022/05/13/us/…
"One of the bank’s more troubling activities was laundering billions of Russian rubles. Then there was client Trump: the smooth persuasions, the obsequious flatteries, the lying about his net worth to garner loans for office buildings, resorts, casinos." nytimes.com/2020/02/14/boo…
We have a general idea of how badly America was treated in the 2016 election. Here's a handy superthread to remind us what happened. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1153755…
The Mercer's had a tax problem, Bannon, Trump, Jared and Manafort desperately needed money. Oddly Donny needs money....again. Will the Mercers return? cnbc.com/2023/11/21/mer…
Will Russia, UAE, Israel and the Saudi's return to help him get elected and ultimately bail Trump out? aljazeera.com/news/2019/12/6…
In 2019 Mother Jones uncovered a ten year old financial scam that has just resurfaced. The basic concerns are also included in a letter to Judge Engeron because the corporation and individual who perpetuated the fraud is based in New York. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
2008 was not a good year for Trump...or Jared. He and his father had just bought 666 Fifth Avenue. Kushner's desperate need to cover his debts also resonated during the Trump administration and triggered international events we are seeing today. needtoimpeach.com/corruption/jar…
n 2020, lawmakers wanted to know if Jared's desperate financial situation and questionable allegiances caused Kushner to abuse his position as an advisor for the President. Who was also in financial peril.
