Excellent, albeit a rather understated presentation of the political affairs du jour that seem to be on our minds these days.

I don't know how JHK manages to keep up with the whirlwind tour that is the Trump presidency but he does it with great panache in a manner that makes for most enjoyable reading.

Since I have been a political junkie for decades, and spend entirely too much time reading and commenting, I find the current situation absolutely stunning when it comes to the Revenge factor.

It is really delicious to see the Traumatic Trio (Comey, Clapper and Brennan) lawyering up as well as their partners in crime looking for a way out as they contemplate their possible fate in a super max prison.

Like other readers, I too can be cynical given all the Hopium we've been fed, but we are in

Trump World now and it's an entirely different universe. It seems there's nothing gonna stop the Golden Goy from Queens as he makes one incredible deal after another as easily as I might grab a bargain at a going out of business tag sale.

Since last November when it became obvious that the election was indeed "too big to rig" and Mr. Trump regained his rightful Presidency, there is never a dull moment. We literally have no idea what earth shattering events we will wake up to on any given day.

It's known as WINNING and I will never get tired of it.

I'm with you on this, NY Nanny. The only difference I'd have is that I don't consider Trump to be seeking revenge, but acting more like a surgeon cutting out a cancer, or giving a healthy dose of a strong, bitter medicine.

The strategy has changed because of our pressure. Maxwell will provide a very carefully crafted list with Trump conspicuously absent. And for this service she will be pardoned. To actually tell the Truth would be a death sentence for her. She grew up in this millieu. She knows better than anyone. It's amazing she ever got locked up at all. It wouldn't happen now.

Frick and Frack.

Left vs Right is a TPTB construct. It is their simple divide-and-conquer m.o. Trump "father[ed]" the mRNA death jabs* then Biden adopted them. Both played their New-World-Order role.

*Of course not really. The evil jabs' evil formulae were ready for roll-out long before 2020 (here in the real world).

I disagree. Left vs. Right are idealistic goals. The Left wants change for change’s sake. They have no concept of budgeting, spend to correct problems, big government to exact their changes for change’s sake. The Right wants to shrink government, to make responsibility individual, to decrease taxes to cut off government spending ( one of Reagan’s themes).

IMHO, the deepest schism is between the Deep State Federalist lovers and the people (Populists). Regardless of party, Deep Staters favor big government, to implement their central power because they know better than Joe Average what Joe needs.

When Andy Cuomo scared the shit out of everyone in 2020 by artificially increasing the death rate in NY, even Trump, running for office, got spooked. He was ready to implement anything the Pence, Fauci, Birx committee offered. The promise of a vaxx was a perceived Godsend for him and yes he embraced it as the “only solution”. Big mistake by someone who did not listen to the critics of mRNA. Saying this, I do wish he would acknowledge the mistake and call down the bums who led us into it. Is RFK, Jr. an acknowledgement? I hope he challenges every single vaccine, food additive, water pollution element, that the nation has had shoved down its throat by the evil Pharma-government coilition.

The Vaxx was not his “child”. If anyone one it was the mRNA folks trying to get their experimental cancer technology into a population. Remember McCollough? He was in the mRNA group and more than anyone put out the alarm bells about the adverse effects that mRNA could have. Prior to the Vaxx, mRNA had many problems in its development with the stability of the mRNA package. They knew what the problems were before they “tested” the technology on 41000 test subjects with absolutely no long term effects testing. It was criminal what the FDA, Pence, and Fauci allowed to happen.

You call out Trump for blame on this debacle but he was a dupe for Pence, who was becoming an active RINO at the time and Fauci, who was covering his ass after the Wuhan debacle. Again, he was a foolish leader to back up the miscreants. With the state of the very foolish American populace, and not just American, did he have much choice but to grasp at any positive possibility? The Deep State won this battle as the fallout caused the Biden debacle. Remember Trump tried the Vaxx route with unfortunately little data. Bidens group opened the border with no screening for disease, masks, 6 ft. Distancing, guided entrance and exits at Walmart and mandatory Vaxx. Who should be blamed, Phil?

Trump proudly self-proclaimed himself the "father" of the mRNA evil goop. Ergo, the mRNA evil goop is his demonic "child."

Do I "remember" McCollough? I still listen to him to this very day.

FDA, Pence and Fauci were criminal to allow this to happen while their boss (Remember "The buck stops here"?) was "duped." 🤣

Trump Adoration Syndrome is a bizarre malady to say the least.

Good leaders do not get duped into killing millions of their own people, John. Trump is in on it or the most negligent POTUS ever. A or B.

Of course he had a "choice," John. He could've demanded proper testing before experimenting on all of us. D'uh! Then he bragged about it to boot.

I'll never forget that Trump foisted their evil goop on us with "unfortunately little data." WTF kind of defence is that?

Trump Adoration Syndrome's "logic": "Biden bad therefore Trump good." 🤣

Who should be blamed, John? TPTB and their divide-and-conquer Left vs Right ruse, of course.

@isknot's avatar

That is a curious wording 'slaughter' and counting '59,000'. and even the use of the word 'palestinians' (capital P or not) is 'curious' at best. The only factual actual slaughter occurred from/by/via the several thousand gazan residents on October 7, 2023. So your use of the word 'slaughter' is slanted, tainted and indicative of a severe bias. The counting or number that you use '59,000' is comically inaccurate by at least 10,000 or by 20% or so depending how one chooses to calculate. More likely your inaccurate i.e. biased and tainted number is in correct by closer to 20,000 too many. Of the individuals who were killed most often one at a time by intention that number is likely around 25,000 who were terrorists/murderers/jihadists/psycopathic killers MANY of whom are named and shamed for the specific terroristic murders they conducted with their own hands and/or weapons, or who helped plan and supervise the murder/maim etc on numerous situations beside Oct 7, 2023. The word 'palestinian' and 'palestine' is bandied about endlessly since the mid 1960s when the Egyptian Arafat and the KGB headquarters in Moscow 'educated' him. Of course given that you happen to be 'so informed' then you will know all about the particular Husseini that fomented heinous attacks beginning in the 1920's. I'll include a link for you to fact check that and for the benefit others here who may be a bit less biased than you are. 'palestinians' and 'palestine' comprise one of the greatest human led hoaxes in our lifetimes with the most extreme horrible effects on the minds of the Americans, the Western nations peoples, as well as those who are led to believe they benefit directly i.e. Arabs of the Levant. You deserve for your own good qualities to purge your biases etc and take better care of your self and stop misleading yourself and others.

Susie, you are right on. The problem is divergence of perspective. Half of this country has bought the Dems, actually Deep State, bullshit. At any time or occasion, one of the two camps can take over the Federal government and everything changes, AGAIN. The socialism movement of the Ult-Left has brought in a new facet, elimination of the Constitution and substitution of an autocratic, maybe totalitarian state. NYC and Minneapolis mayoral races show how close we are, and it is interesting that the Quran is a common denominator.

It is difficult to do much of anything judicially when the majority of the judiciary is Deep State, not just Leftist. Think about this, how can any president get anything done when just one nutty judge can shut him down, I will bet SCOTUS is getting pretty sick of the judicial gnats that pretty much shut DC down. The DOJ is getting pretty sick of the same roadblocks.

I don't support the government shutting down any media operation. They have specific guaranteed Constitutional protections for a reason. However, I have no problem with a media outlet that printed intentionally false news to be discredited to the point that nobody purchases or reads their material anymore. If they have lied then it needs to be shouted from the roof tops that they lied. They should be permitted to continue to print their lies but the truth about their lies should be known by all. Hopefully at that point that particular media outlet will disappear in favor of a better, more truth oriented media outlet.

I agree. The problem with the 1st amendment is that while it provides the “Right of”. A free press, assembly, free speech, etc, it does not bring out the requirement of responsibility for all the rights.

If the judiciary would just allow defamation cases for media lying against both sides, this problem would be resolved. Journalism has become an opinionated joke and lying a norm.

Another item, what about the He/She lawsuits that just come out of the woodwork anymore. What makes the woman always the “poor widdle me” person. #me too is feeding on this. The paramount question is why are women allowing themselves into compromising positions? What the hell was E. Jean Carroll doing with Trump in a dressing room? Were there actually eye witnesses that saw him stalk into the dressing area to attack her. It is hard to fathom a man meeting a woman for the first time and then “raping’ her in a woman’s personal area twenty minutes later. Only in NYC? IMHO, these are women looking for benefit by encouraging them and finding out it doesn’t work that way. Their motivation from that point is to “get that guy”. Look around, it is happening everywhere.

A what if. As the courts have never been able to actually prove rape with Trump or anyone else, the He/She quandary is always in doubt, We cannot definitely prove that everything Trump has said is not the truth

It is one Big money laundering extravaganza. I caught my state changing their website "results" for elections from "Registered" voters to "Eligible" voters in August 2023. Verb to Modifier. The Govt. wants to do everything for you. They are casting votes for people who decide to not get off the couch. And "registering'" anyone interfacing with government services. If people participate congress would not have a twenty-something favorability rating.

It’s not just the Voters it’s who counts the Votes who are equally important to audit for the correct election results.

We left the realm of trusting voters and the vote counters a long time ago.

Our election results are fiction and our voting integrity’s negligence has been proven extremely harmful for our country.

South Africa's ANC illustrates your oft-neglected noticing that Communism is funded by Kapitalism. (That is, oligarchs, or corporatists. Orwell called it Oligarchical Socialism.)

The principle behind it is a poplar saying there: "The wealth goes out, the poverty stays in."

Oppenheimer, the diamond and minerals conglomerate based in Europe, is a primary funder of the ANC. The ANC pajundrums are rewarded with handsome mining contracts and nepotistic sinecures; meanwhile, the country's wealth is exported with the wages depressed, living conditions shoddy, crime made rampant, and working classes kept desperate enough to take anything they could get - all to the benefit of Oppenheimer's bottom line, at least on paper.

Additional costs - social costs and subsidies - are not counted, so their effect, being unmeasured, does not exist. The public commons, and the associated costs of their degredation. likewise are not counted. Add in the particular cultural proclivities of the average African worker and African manager, and you get today's South Africa.

Also note the similarity to what is called the Tudor system, which is what the American colonies rebelled against: raw materials go out, manufactured goods made abroad come in, along with "foreign aid" bankrupting local producers (farmers' produce can't compete with free food, and they lose their land) and NGO paper-pushers handing out bribes (while living, working, and eating in the best places the locals cannot afford.)

Kapitalists fund Communism to depress a nation's economy, so they can strip-mine its assets at a discount. Ricardo's "comparative advantage" (each nation having its own specialties or assets) is thus nullified - as a collectivist tool like Thomas Friedman says, "the world is made flat." This is why banks in New York funded Trotsky's revolution in the Tsar's Russia, so they could use forced labor to mine and log Siberia cheaply.

Ummm … Democrats started the KKK. Democrats seceded & fought the Civil War to keep blacks enslaved. Democrats in 1927 prevented a GOP bill going to the House floor for a vote to make lynching a federal crime. Democrats stood in the door of the schoolhouse. It was a Democrat splinter party in 1948, the Dixiecrats, who had a motto: “Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.” It was a Democrat governor who caused Ike(R) to send in the army to enforce school integration, Democrat majorities for the 1964 CRA were smaller than R majority who caused the bill to pass.

Faction, specifically political parties, was the death of America. The Democrat Party began morphing into a domestic terror organization in the early 1960s, and resembles nothing so much as a band of horses put up wet. The Republican faction, the GOP, became a band of milquetoasts with a hard-on for nothing but tax cuts, bent on nothing so much as endless rounds of “bipartisan” pillaging of the people. And because man always repeats himself, the Great Wigwam on the Potomac, that carnival of magpies, will continue. The United States of America was an excellent concept that has failed magnificently in execution over and over again. The problem, as old as man, is self-interest.

The US gets nothing in return for the economic and military support that it provides to the ethno-supremacist apartheid nation of Israel. In fact, the U.S. suffers internationally on account of its close relationship with Israel Because of its constant vetoing of UN Resolutions intended to punish Israel for its human rights violations.

There is no alliance, and Israel is not our ally. Its government does not behave as an ally does, it has never fought alongside US forces in any of our foreign wars. Its interests are not aligned with ours as an ally’s should be. There is no formal treaty and no binding obligations that require our governments to do anything for the other.

Pundits always grossly exaggerates the extent of the ties between our governments. Israel is routinely called our “most important ally” in the region, or even our “most cherished ally” in all the world. These are ideological assertions that are not grounded in reality. Dozens of other states all over the world are better allies to the United States than the “most cherished ally” is. And they don’t preside over an illegal occupation and decades of abuses and crimes against the Palestinian people living under Israeli occupation. Now being ethnically cleansed in a genocide with US supplied bombs dropped on refugee camps and hospitals.

The effect of this constant repetition is to make the US/Israel relationship to be extremely important to U.S. interests when it is not. It promotes an illusion of a common interest where no real common interest exists ~ and has now suckered the US into being complicit in a genocide.

The US taxpayers are having billions of their taxes stolen and given to apartheid Israel. Americans do not have Universal healthcare. But pay for Israel to have Universal healthcare. And the US is $35-trillion in Debt. The US and Israel have made themselves pariahs in the eyes of the World. This is not going to end well for the US or Israel. The US will survive.

Thanks for giving the statutes under which prosecutions may occur. Whenever someone says, "it's against the law" or "no one is above the law", I will frequently ask, "which law"? Most only have a vague knowledge of the law and many simply make it up. Always good to read the actual law. It can be really eye-opening to find out what the law, in fact, states.

It would be especially ironic if there are successful prosecutions for violations of 923. 18 U.S.C. § 371—Conspiracy to Defraud the United States... considering that a number of Trump associates were tagged with breaking that particular and somewhat obscure statute. It has a rather broad application that can go beyond simply a financial or pecuniary intent. As given in DOJ's Justice Manual:

"Hass, 216 U.S. at 479-480. In Hammerschmidt, Chief Justice Taft, defined "defraud" as follows:

To conspire to defraud the United States means primarily to cheat the Government out of property or money, but it also means to interfere with or obstruct one of its lawful governmental functions by deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest. It is not necessary that the Government shall be subjected to property or pecuniary loss by the fraud, but only that its legitimate official action and purpose shall be defeated by misrepresentation, chicane or the overreaching of those charged with carrying out the governmental intention."

There are so many fruits of the poisoned trees with this case, with the trees being grafted by Hillary and then, Obama. Many claim that Obama cannot be prosecuted due to immunity for official acts, but I am not so sure that ordering the chiefs of the national security team to draft and disseminate a trumped-up ICA to defraud the media, other government agencies, Congress, the FISC, and the public with the sole purpose of impugning and undermining the president-elect is a constitutionally authorized, official act.
