President Trump- The Implications

[Hoss]

I have a feeling he won't make it to November of 2024 to run; with all the issues he has right now and ongoing, he'll likely stroke out before that date.

That would be disappointing.  I'd rather have him cheated out of lose another election.  He needs to live long enough to know that a LOT of people don't like him.

Don't get our hopes up like that!


He is a cockroach.  Cockroaches just don't die.

"Donald Trump is facing five years in prison and a felony because of a law HE SIGNED in attempt to punish Hillary Clinton in 2018."

The former president is facing a charge under the Espionage Act, Trump attorney Jim Trusty told CNN on Thursday, in addition to charges of obstruction of justice, destruction or falsification of records, conspiracy, and false statements.

Trump signed legislation that year that extended section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, part of which included a change to 18 U.S. Code §1924, increasing the penalty for "unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material" from one to five years.

Before the legislation was signed, Trump had repeatedly attacked 2016 presidential race rival Hillary Clinton over claims that she had mishandled classified
information; she was never charged.

Today's face of the Republicontin Party.

Can't form a coherent thought.

And no - I am not cutting Moscow Mitch any slack for his obvious health problems given the abominable actions he and all the other right wing extremists have committed for decades!

Finally!   Special Counsel - T**** appointed.!!!  Still Weiss, but now he can be even more independent than before.  And of course, the American Nazi Party is still not happy, even though this is exactly what they have been whining about for years!   As would be expected...

Let's hope he hurries it up and gets some court cases going!   So like in the Durham fails, there can be acquittals all around!  Even though Hunter is a slimeball, what he has done is pretty much the same as millions of other tax delayers have done for years on end - MOST of whom have not gotten more than a nasty-gram from the IRS to pay up!

I am wondering though, where is the Special Counsel to investigate Ivanka and her gift from China of $500 Million?  And Jared's receipt of $2 Billion from Qatar.?  I know....if someone is popular, they or their family should not be investigated and charged with the crimes they commit...

Hamas hits Israel.  Israel gonna hit them back 10 times as much.


Anyone wondering if this so-called intelligence failure was just a 'chip on the shoulder thing, I dare you to knock it off' so they could get world opinion on their side to do much more of what they have been doing anyway?  Taking more Palestinian land (settlements) and forcing more of them out...

They are two sides of the same coin.

Had a friend in school whose family was from Palestine, moving to Jordan when the Israeli's showed up at their door in 1947 with guns and gave them 15 min to gather all the stuff they could carry because they were leaving so some Jewish "settlers" could move in.   Sound familiar?   As in US history...

He is gone now, but was a really great Engineer and a great guy - one of the top in all our classes!

Israel pulled the same thing that Andrew Jackson did with the 5 Tribes of the southeast.

And it goes back a couple thousand years.   Here is a record of the last 100 years or so....back and forth.  Always.  Not likely to stop.  Ever.

In the case of Native Americans, it's clear who was here first.  History in the Middle East goes back a lot further, lots of turn-over of property.

Here is a history with more than just battle results. It's lengthy, starting in the 1800s when the Ottoman Empire was still in charge in the area.

For some reason the system won't take the whole link as a link but the above is where to find it.  The link works in preview but not after save.

This whole thing goes back a few thousand years with a wide variety of empires and much ebb and flow.
