So much for "the laptop 'could be' mine."
First son Hunter Biden's lawyers admitted late Wednesday that the infamous laptop that the now-52-year-old abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop in the throes of his crack cocaine addiction does indeed belong to him.
So the laptop being Russian disinformation was the conspiracy, and you fell for it just like you fell for Russiagate.
So the dick picks, the email about Joe Biden being the big guy, Hunter fucking underage women, and his smoking crack were all real.
In fact, polls show if the public knew the truth about the laptop, Trump wins in 2020. This whole Russian disinformation thing was orchestrated by Anthony Blinken, Biden's Secretary of State. He orchestrated this lie so Biden would win.
https://nypost.com/2023/05/01/antony...r-laptop-real/
Then-candidate Joe Biden used the intelligence alumni letter to falsely claim at his second and final 2020 presidential debate with Donald Trump that The Post's reporting on his role in his family's international business dealings was a "Russian plant" and "garbage. "
"There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he's accusing me of is a Russian plant," Biden said. "Five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except his good friend Rudy Giuliani. "
So here you go dummy, proof the 2020 election was rigged.
And what will be your response to this? Admitting you are wrong? Saying, gosh, if Putin is really as bad as they say, why do Democrats have to lie about him so much? Outrage over the election being fixed by intelligence agencies?
Nah, it will be the same as always. Never mind. And then back to the personal insults.

But the connection I can't figure out, Elvis 2008, is why hasn't any right-wing, sycophant billionaires, yet stepped up, to help pay the legal bills of your "Loud and Save-ior Dumbass"?
Trump campaign cash crunch: Small-dollar fatigue, major donor hesitation
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/18/trum...or-nerves.html
- Like really WTF, right-wing billionaires?
- Not Robert Mercer
- Not Elon Musk ("I'm not paying his legal bills in anyway shape or form" --The Don Lemon Show)
- Not Kevin O'Leary (completely avoided the queston when asked by Larry Kudlow on FOX Business)
- Not Jarred Cushner (Too busy buying up R/E in Eastern Europe?)
- Not Paul Singer
- Not Charles Koch
- Not Richard and Besty DeVos
- Not Foster Friess
- Not Sheldon Adelson
to "foot the bill" for his legal woes, all while these "fat cat" billionaires, sit on the sidelines as richer Cheshire cat, grinning ingrates.
Is that gratitude or what, especially after those huge tax cuts to the rich, wealthy and big corporations, naturally leaving trillions added to the debt for working and middle class Americans to "foot that debt bill"? So I guess it's not surprising at all, but rather "on point" for right-wing administrations, policies and billionaires?
So could it be, Donald J. Trump, is no longer a "useful idiot" for the right-wing billionaire donor class? If so, what's up with that Elvis 2008?
Anywho, Elvis 2008, in the same vein of paying for Trump's legal bills, don't forget to make yourself a "useful idiot" and chip-in a few bucks or simply "donate" as much as you can. Or just buy a few dozen pairs of Trump's gold sneakers...wait, I think another BM mentioned, they maybe out of stock?
Better yet just re-tick that "donate weekly" box on the "Save America" email Trump sent you, so he can automatically siphon off your account like he did with the pension savings accounts from his senior gullible donors. (...kkkk!)

Posts: 5440Thanks, Joe and the Dems in Congress
On the occasion of the 4 year anniversary of Donald Trump's SECOND Bear Market Crash in major indexes and the broad USA Stock Market in just his 4 miserable years as so-called potus, not allowing the pro Repub Mainstream Media to erase from voters' memory and the record books that first one under Trump in late 2018, not only has the S&P 500 Index closed at another record high of 5224 after seeing NO Recession and Bear Market Crash under Joe Biden contrary to the worst record on Stock Market and economic prognostications in history by Trump and his Repub Party that we would have both by now, but at the same time the actual, factual record on virtually all categories of Crime in America continues to show historic DECLINES under histotic job-creator and wage-improving Joe Biden after a horrific rise in them under Trump's Worst President of All Time policies and stewardship brought the world Trump's Pandemic:
The U.S. crime rate is still dropping, FBI data shows.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-c...fbi-rcna144100
New FBI data confirms previous indications that crime in the U.S. declined significantly in 2023, continuing a post-pandemic trend and belying widespread perceptions that crime is rising.
The new fourth-quarter numbers showed a 13% decline in murder in 2023 from 2022, a 6% decline in reported violent crime and a 4% decline in reported property crime. Thats based on data from around 13,000 law enforcement agencies, policing about 82% of the U.S. population, that provided the FBI with data through December.
"It suggests that when we get the final data in October, we will have seen likely the largest one-year decline in murder that has ever been recorded, said Jeff Asher, a former CIA analyst who now studies crime trends.
"After a terrible period of underfunding and understaffing caused by the pandemic, local governments have, by most measures, returned to pre-pandemic levels, wrote John Roman, a criminologist at the University of Chicago. In an interview, Roman said, The courts were closed, a lot of cops got sick, a lot of police agencies told their officers not to interact with the public. Teachers were not in schools, not working with kids."

Something more along the lines of a "blood bath" at worst, but at the very least, an ideological disruption and chaos, of democracy, the constitution and the country.

So on the right, we have Project 2025, "mob-boss" Trump, J6 insurrectionists, election deniers, the utter total collapse and gutting of the Repubs / GOP and the RNC party...what does it all mean?
Could it be smaller parts of a larger picture? Or simply to sow the seeds of chaos, all while steadfast in the "march and drum beat" towards "civil unrest" or worst, "civil war", as the right (many times) have often claimed they want?

Posts: 1104Still Trump as the Failure...
Projection, hypocrisy and bullshit is that all you have on border security? Naturally, when you don't have the truth, you don't real facts and you don't have the rule of law...good ol' Elvis 2008, will try to dazzle you with bullshit!
Repubs, much like their cowardice of leader, Trump, continue to the fill the room with bullshit, "laptop dick pics" conspiracies and a penchant for utter nonsense.

I image after Sect. DOH Alejandro Mayorka, schooled Chip Roy, he did his due diligence and investigative homework and indeed found that during (2016 to 2020), the TRUMP administration was indeed to blame for the failure of the border, as he dutifully explains in the one (1) recent videos and article, I provided, dated Mar 12th, 2024 and Dec 20th, 2023, here: http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...=1#post2902160
The most recent video and article I provide, definitely shows Chip Roy's updated border security world view, and without a doubt, squarely places the blame on TRUMP!
Chip Roy may be "boisterous" and "passionate", but he's not lying. He's telling the truth. When Repubs had ALL-3 Branches of Gov't and failed and couldn't pass anything on border security.
Put simply, Repubs, "wet the bed" and did nothing, when they had ALL-3 Branches of Gov't, which is per for course, with Repubs.

Trump is the perfect Repub lord and savior because he is The Worst President of All Time Who Produced The Worst Results of All Time.
Repub Party voters love him for that. It isn't as though they didn't "see" the crap results he produced and csn't "see" Bidrn's far, far better, historically positive results. They see both very clearly. It is just that they hate Biden for producing those far superior results for America and love Trump for shitting all over the country the way he did and the way he promises to do again if only given the chance.
That has always been what most reasonable, well-meaning observers totally miss about the Repub Party. LOL. I get a kick out of how many times observers like that are "shocked" and "astonished" by some fresh new America-hating move by that Party's leadership and ranks. They have refused to see what is right there to be seen and understood about the Repub Party since at least Nixon. Even I failed to see it until about a year into Reagan's first term as so-called potus. Hell, I was even hanging onto a ridiculous, unfounded in the historical data "False Equivalency", "Bothsiderism" view of it as late as 1992!
I realized and accepted the shameful error of my ways after that. The historical and recent data, verifiable results and easily observable reality made it impossible to ignore after that.

I mean, damn, you can see that Chip Roy idiot is full of energy, vim, vigor and purpose.
So why the hell don't Repubs ever put all that energy into producing something in their recent history that they can actually run on instead of relying on their benefactors in Mainstream Media to lie, twist and spin it in their favor and then still have to encite violent cop-attacking and cop-killing mobs of Insurrectionists to storm the Capitol to steal the votes they can't win on the merits?
Such a sad waste of good and important seats in the House, the Senate and that chair in the Oval Office.

The Securities and Exchange Commission approved a merger between Trump Media & Technology Group and Digital World Acquisition Corp. , a blank-check company, which would allow the Trump media enterprise to be a publicly traded company.
A blank-check company is a "special purpose acquisition company" formed to raise funds via an initial public offering without identifying the precise use of the funds. It is publicly traded even though it does not have an established business plan or a designated potential merger opportunity.
Trump's stake in this merger could be worth $4 billion. That is enough capital to pay all the civil liability claims in the cases that have been decided and the cases that are pending.
Yeah, that was brilliant. You made Trump $4 billon richer.
You think the story here is that Trump is out of money. No, the story here is no financial company was willing to put up the bond because they would be liable for the verdict, and they all think the legal system in New York is that fucking crazy. Bond companies would stand to make a lot on issuance of the bond and if they thought the appeals courts would be reasonable and reduce the amount, which they usually do on crazy numbers like this, they would lend it, but they are not.
So what does that mean? It means no fucking way in hell New York is seeing that $454 million.
And the media does not want to let the cat out of the bag and show how impotent the prosecutor really is at this point. So she sends out a fellow prosecutor to make this video: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi..._judgment.html.
Yeah, she could put a padlock on Trump Tower and we could have nuclear war too, and nuclear war is probably more likely. Putting a padlock on Trump tower means people cannot get into their homes, the businesses in the building go under, and all the employees get to file unemployment. So what this video is really saying is there is nothing she can do.
You wait on the Appeals Court and then it could go to the Supreme Court and that is going to take time. At this point, this court case has gone at lightning speed, and it has done so because it has nothing to do with the citizens of New York. It has to deal with rigging an election and so it probably will continue that way. We are used to corrupt Democratic judges and prosecutors trying to rig elections at this point, and it is not working.
Why is that the case? From Newsweek, If the Democrats want to prevail over Trump in 2024, they will have to find far better strategies than convincing half the country that they are weaponizing law enforcement to remove the de facto leader of the opposition in the manner of a threatened banana republic supremo.
That is what you guys do not get. At this point, people are just not voting for Trump. They are voting against a banana republic.

Chip Roy was a Desantis supporter. Oops!
And then there was the lie you just told that Hunter Biden's laptop was Trump's fault. That had nothing to do with Trump. The issue with that was before the election was the intelligence agencies said the information on the laptop was Russian disinformation which was a lie.
And Joe Biden lied and said the laptop may not have belonged to Hunter.
And Hunter Biden lied and said the same thing.
And after that did not work, Hunter sued the shop which gave the FBI the laptop.
Instead of holding the tax payers funded intelligence agencies liable for lying, you go off on a rant about Fox News and disinformation.
And let's not forget what is in the laptop. It shows Hunter Biden fucking underage women, snorting cocaine, and showing payoffs not just to Hunter from China and Ukraine but to the "big guy", Joe Biden himself. And people should just ignore all that. What is on that laptop is a Trump plot.
And because you cannot defend that nor the insanity at the border, you have to lie about it.
So now we know what real disinformation is. Disinformation is telling the truth when Democrats are lying.

70 millions can't all be "the dumbest", I'm afraid. There are other forces in play. Apparently, this daily thoughtless reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance in American schools doesn't do shit. Perhaps a full-pledged, multi-year school program on why democracy is non-negotiable and why this country is so fortunate compared to so many others would do.
And, I dare say, may be some Constitutional amendments that would bolt the gate to any authoritarian or totalitarian trying to wheel themselves in the White House is in order.

TRUMP: "It came out of China. And it shouldve been stopped. And to be honest with you, Barron, they shouldve let it be known it was a problem two months earlier ... the world wouldnt have a problem. We could have stopped it easily.
Keeping Obama's Early Warning / Pandemic "Prevention" system in place was the point, in order to Prevent Trump's Pandemic from developing in the first place rather than merely leaving it to Trump to totally botch his response" to it, which he did.
Meanwhile, as far as Joe Biden's contribution to dealing with and responding to Trump's Pandemic and all of the disastrous fallout from it, you should only be praising the fact that HIS recovery from it has been and still is the Best and Strongest on Planet Earth.
Oh, and that very well might have been because he had Dr. Anthony Fauci in the USA to advise and contribute to that recovery while no other country did.
