HTS knows that their leader has a drone strike target pined to his tunic. His complicity with Turkey is apparent. The board is being reset. Military aircraft do no appear to be moving but yesterday and today show a large number of executive jets in the region that tells me

the players are talking but don't trust the phone. That could mean that what they are planning bad for the west. After Israel's brutal treatment of Palestinian civilians it was only a matter of time for the retaliatory blood letting to begin.

I spotted the Kremlin sock puppets during the 2016 campaign because I'd seen them while covering Ukraine. What I have seen recently on Twitter aka X is that Generative AI is being used to steer the tariff discussion. I don't have time or the will to engage so I simply block the accounts once I am relatively sure of their origin. My suspicion is that the tariff absurdity is straight out of the SVR and Trump adopted it as a condition of Elmo being the Kremlin source of cash to win the election. I think Trump is backing away from Elmo

1. I have supported a two-state solution to the conflict in #Palestine for my entire life. I agree that #Netanyahu's conduct of the war in #Gaza violated the the law of armed conduct and could support charges of #genocide. I don't believe that #Arab and 2. other #Muslim Americans' lives will be somehow improved if #Trump is elected.
Political power comes from coalitions. Working on campaigns, being reliable partners when the call comes is how my #Irish ancestors gained political power.

1. It’s been eight years since Comey dropped his October surprise. When I witnessed what he did, I knew Hillary was going to lose. Her historic negatives, closeness to election day and a massive Kremlin-run sock-puppet army combined with the fact that it dropped 2. too close to the election for Hillary to have time to recover. I began working on life under the fascist creature before the election day in 2016 and I’m still working. It's 100 hours to D-Day and this time, in sharp contrast to 2016, I have zero anxiety.

1. What's Trump's long game where he appears to have given up trying to win? Moving further to extreme right is insanity in this close race. Why would he do that? I think the facts we currently have strongly suggest he's being bribed most likely by Putin with Musk as an agent. 2. His mission is to destroy America. He showed us today what it will look like. He's preparing his brown shirts to once again take to violence. Damaged people like Mike Johnson who looks like an a Kompromat victim is going to help. But this isn't 2021.

What Trump and his big money supporters don't get is, if there's a plan to commit crimes to overturn this election & funders & others know of the illegal purpose & agree to it, all it takes is one overt act by one conspirator to trigger criminal conspiracy liability for all. Their criminal exposure doesn't await the outcome of the election and the execution of the plan. Their crimes were already committed when they agreed. It's obvious what Trump is planning. Imagine he's a bank robber who is awaiting trial for robbing a certain bank.

1. I tried to check something on the WayBack @internetarchive and Murphy's Law dictated it would be down. I wanted to see where @jontester was polling six years ago. Trump tried really hard to unseat him in 2018. He failed. 2. I have always joined lost causes. I have one religious item that I treasure. It's my St. Jude medal. The patron Saint of lost causes. I bought the day the RedSox played game 4 of the ALCS against the Yankees in 2004. I think there are MT voters out there who can be reached.

1. The GOP has already tried a blanket tariff program, one that led to the global economic collapse of the Great Depression. .

In my view, Trump's call to repeat this insanity is likely beingen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot–Haw… 2. directed by the Kremlin because Russia does not export goods and needs to destroy the Western economies to level its strategic playing field. If we are concealing Trump's communications with Putin, in my view, we are engaged in dangerous meddling in the

1. I have a @UMassAmherst undergrad political science degree but I'm clearly not competent to discuss the impact of polls with the experts. What I have is a life of political involvement that started as young child in the 1950s driving around Florissant Mo with my dad 2. while he campaigned for city counsel and police commissioner. That started a thread that leads to this election and I have some non-expert views about the state of the race. I will say it with the warning that what I learned as a child remains true:

1. What’s Trump’s long-game by making clear he’s a Nazi? First, we have known for over a decade he was a Hitler sycophant. His now-deceased former spouse informed us that the kept Hitler’s speeches as bedtime reading material. 2. But in the past few days, Trump has issued a threat to Jews that he is now saying will be blamed for his loss plus his VP pick is echoing the Nazi narrative. I think two things may we driving it.

1. I've been watching for this. Quinnipiac poll confirms Trump's advancing mental disintegration and the absurd false attacks on Haitians may have pushed the the right's ability to suspend disbelief and accept Trump as normal to the brink. 2. Turnout will be driven by Dobbs and in particular Black women in this historic election in the key states like PA and Georgia. Economic news favors Harris. As Trump tries to increase his radical base turnout he will drive the moderates away.

MAGA has begun to devour their young.

It's certainly about eating something. This is a Loomer post an hour old. Doubling down on the Trump disaster. They know this is causing people to flee the crazy train.

1. I think I know who Co-Conspirator No. 5 is any it may be why the Special Counsel delivered something secret to court on Wednesday. Conspiracies are dangerous for defendants. Evidence that would usually be kept out comes in. 2. Here is the description of Co-Conspirator No. 5 from the Superseding Indictment:

1. I was never a Mueller fan. That happens when your brother investigates someone but declines as he declined on Reagan, Bush41 and Barr. Mueller's team was made up of solid, ethical, courageous career DOJ pros. But Mueller was a GOP insider with baggage hidden from our view. 2. The truth about Trump's treason was in the NSA and CIA intercepts. We never saw them and may never see them. It's the flaw that may bring us down. A dangerous remnant of the Nixon years that, when they came crashing down, allowed people like Barr to burrow into the system

1. The press has again dropped the ball on holding Trump accountable. What we need to know is where was Trump during the time after he landed at Dulles Friday night? Who was with him? Who witnessed it? What came is a reset. Pro-Kremlin stooges appeared in his campaign. 2. Who authorized Trump's photo op at Arlington that a private citizen doesn't get? That person gave him the trappings of a sitting @POTUS. Who was that? What communications did that person or their team have with people in the emerging Trump/Kremlin team?

I have kept quiet about this because I don't like to engage in what might be considered stereotyping but the @nytimes is so far off the rails that it must be said. We need to consider that Carlos Slim is compromised by Russian connections to drug cartels who he knows can reach him and has used his early significant and now more minority stake to infiltrate the Times' management, line reporting and editorial staff.

1. If Putin declares he'll revert to nuclear weapons to save his corrupt regime from ignominious defeat, we should consider a declaration of war with a commitment of no first-use of nuclear weapons that takes that threat off the table. But what that declaration would do is this: 2. The moment POTUS signs the simple majority joint resolution of a declaration of war, all Russian national assets of any kind in the US or subject to US control become the permanent, irreversible property of the US Custodian under the Trading with the Enemy Act.

1. I first read Roe v. Wade when it was released in 1971 during the year I had taken off before college. During that time my views were shaped working at the nation's oldest Women's college in my home town. I was a feminist and remain so today. 2. Much later, I took a PhD level Constitutional law class at @UMassAmherst. Then I won the ConLaw Am Jur in Law school. I have thought long and hard about Roe. This won't be well-received but Roe was not a good decision.

1. @Fortune500 CEOs think they can join a fascist coup to overturn our democracy and install a person who proclaims he will be a dictator without consequence. These pro-fascist CEOs think we are powerless. 2. We need to identify the CEO's who are supporting Trump. Donor records are a good start but we can add evidence of their support from many sources. Once we have clear evidence of their support for the fascist dictator wannabe we then brand the company they

1. Putin's foolish strategy in #Donbass that made places like #Bakhmut worth 50 thousand Russian Army casualties, has had long-term impact on Russian force readiness that is now coming home to roost. Two regiments are on the border and might be able to assist in stemming 2. the rout shown here with yellow circles, are on the flank of the Kursk salient but were both burnt-up in Bakhmut and Chasiv Yar. These units were likely put there for show knowing that they did not have combat capability. They face envelopment by the growing salient.

1. I'm not going to be shocked that Iran is the source of the Trump hack but I'll wait for more information. Every authoritarian regime he's in bed with will go after the feeble weak clown in hopes to curry favor with the victor. They don't understand us. 2. The day Trump took credit for assassinating Qasem Soleimani, I knew Trump would regret it. Silence would have left ambiguity whether it was the Israelis. I still believe Trump green-lighted the missile attack on our base at Al Assad to try to appease the Quds Force.
