War is madness!  That at least is true.

But innocent victim…??  Not a chance.

Trump has been breaking copyright laws for years.   And yet we don't see any right wing extremists "law and order" folk saying a word about that!   Never a word of condemnation by Repubes.  Ever.  Of course.

Dee Snider - Twisted Sister - is the latest who doesn't like it.

“Every time you sing ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ remember it was written by a cross-dressing, libtard, tree hugging half-Jew who HATES everything you stand for. It was you and people like you that inspired every angry word of that song! SO TRUMP OFF!” he tweeted.**

** I edited it to make it even more precise and keep any censors happy.


Awww....no music for T****...so sad...!   Well at least he can still grab women by the crotch and get his pervert buddies support!

And as always, one can expect nothing but the lowest class from T**** and the Minions!   I have not doubt there are MANY women out there who wish that particular redaction would happen - especially retroactively!!

"Just today, a missile was sent in—probably by Russia—to Poland, 50 miles into Poland, and people are going absolutely wild and crazy, and they are not happy," Trump said Tuesday night.
Biden, he said, "is leading us to the brink of nuclear war, a concept unimaginable two short years ago. You cannot mention the nuclear word. It is too devastating."

As it turned out, however, Trump's speculation appears to be incorrect.

Three years ago, Donald Trump tweeted an image that left intelligence experts gobsmacked.

The picture was of a rocket that had exploded on a launch pad deep inside of Iran. It was so crisp, that some initially thought it may not have been taken by a satellite.

"This picture is so exquisite, and you see so much detail," says Jeffrey Lewis, who studies satellite imagery at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. "At first, I thought it must have been taken by a drone or something."

But aerospace experts quickly determined it was photographed using one of America's most prized intelligence assets: a classified spacecraft called USA 224 that is widely believed to be a multibillion-dollar KH-11 reconnaissance satellite.

Many details on the original image remain redacted – a clear sign that Trump was sharing some of the U.S. government's most prized intelligence on social media, says Steven Aftergood, specialist in secrecy and classification at the Federation of American Scientists.

"He was getting literally a bird's eye view of some of the most sensitive US intelligence on Iran," he says. "And the first thing he seemed to want to do was to blurt it out over Twitter."

The revelation comes just days after Trump announced his bid to run for president in 2024. It also follows the FBI's seizure in August of 33 boxes filled with over one hundred classified records, stored at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Some of those documents were reportedly related to Iran, according to the Washington Post.

According to reports, Trump first saw the image as part of a daily intelligence briefing on the morning after the Iranian launch failure. In the most complete account of what happened next, published last year by Yahoo! News, President Trump asked to keep a copy of the photo, which was from a KH-11 series satellite. An hour later, he sent it out to more than 60 million followers on Twitter.

A portion of the text tweeted by the president also used the exact wording of the then-classified caption to the image. After he tweeted the image, Trump said that he did nothing wrong. "We had a photo and I released it, which I have the absolute right to do," he told reporters at the time.
But this image was still classified, and Lewis says that seeing it released probably stung for the intelligence agencies involved.

"The entire US intelligence community is incredibly averse to letting this information out," Lewis says. "The idea that the president would just scream 'YOLO!', photograph it and tweet it--is really hard to take."

Cardillo says he is certain that other countries have used Trump's tweeted image to learn more about what U.S. spy satellites can do. If, for example, Putin had tweeted a photo from a Russian satellite, he says that the U.S. would have assembled a task force to learn everything they could from the image.

Aftergood says the latest release "confirms a kind of recklessness on the part of former President Trump and also a disrespect for the rather astonishing intelligence that he was receiving."

For Lewis, the incident is telling about Trump's abilities to handle classified documents as he heads into the 2024 presidential race.
"I wouldn't tell this man any information that I wanted to remain private," Lewis says. "The idea that he could again have access to classified information is unnerving."

Yes, we Arizonans know BS when we see it, and that's why you lost. Not because you're a Republican, but because of all the BS you spew and your previous and now future stolen elections campaigns. Everytime you open your mouth it's like standing downwind of a dairy farm.

Its not like Kari Lake could ever be a news presenter at any legitimate media outlet again. She and Donald Trump are sinking into the same pit with the Kardashians and Kanye West as fodder for reality TV fantasies.  They arent gone, they just ran off to join the circus.

Its not like Kari Lake could ever be a news presenter at any legitimate media outlet again. She and Donald Trump are sinking into the same pit with the Kardashians and Kanye West as fodder for reality TV fantasies.  They arent gone, they just ran off to join the circus.

She's gone full Trump.

PHOENIX (AP) — Kari Lake, the defeated Republican candidate for Arizona governor, has filed a public records lawsuit demanding Maricopa County hand over a variety of documents related to the election.

Lake has refused to acknowledge that she lost to Democrat Katie Hobbs and has for weeks drawn attention to voters who said they experienced long lines and other difficulties while voting on Election Day in Arizona’s largest county.

Her group caused the long lines at polling places by telling people to not mail in their early ballot and instead have it run through the machine at a polling place on election day. In 2020 there were roughly 170K early ballots presented at polling locations on election day. This election saw close to 300k show up with their early ballot, already filled out, and requested to run it through the machine in person.

A lengthy line snaked its way around The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Southern Avenue in Mesa.

As vehicles pulled in and out of the parking lot on Tuesday afternoon, a box at the entrance to the Mormon church was labeled, “(R) Golden Tickets Here.” The sheets of paper included a Republican guide to voting, including a nod to Randy Kaufman. The GOP candidate for the Maricopa County Community College Governing Board was arrested in October and charged for masturbating in public.

Some voters dropped off their ballots and left, while others, including Mesa resident Kimberly West, waited an hour and a half to cast her vote. It was well worth it, though, West said.

“I would have waited if it was 50 miles long. I’m concerned about the wide-open border, the economy, and the indoctrination of our children at school,” West said. “They’re teaching that America is bad and that white people are bad. We celebrated being American when I grew up.”

Kimberly Perrault, also a Mesa resident, checked a few polling spots before landing at The Church of Latter-day Saints with lines that were just as long as the other locations, she said.

West and Perrault became fast friends at the polling location, the women said, bonding over many of their shared beliefs.

“I wouldn’t call it indoctrination, but they’re putting things in the curriculum that are not important to our children,” Perrault said. “Why don’t they just stick with the basics, like writing, reading, and arithmetic?”

Perrault didn’t expand on specific things in the curriculum that she disagreed with and instead responded that civics and school choice are also important to her.

Joanne Smith, 83, and Sam Nicolosi, 74, carpooled to the ballot box. The neighbors had their own concerns about American democracy.

“I want to make our country great again,” Smith said. “I was especially interested in the proposition requiring people to show proof of citizenship, as well as the one that would fund our fire and policemen.”

Nicolosi said that he was most alarmed by immigration, inflation, gas prices, and the economy.

“We are on a fixed income as seniors,” he said.

The two waited in line before casting their ballots, but they wouldn’t dream of mailing in their ballots or filling them out at home and dropping them off.

“The way things are going nowadays, they say there’s election fraud,” Smith said.

For Nicolosi, waiting in line on Election Day was the way he’d always done it, he said.

Voters continued to add onto the line at the church into the late afternoon. At the parking lot entrance, just one lonely “golden ticket” remained as the sun began to set.

A flock of reporters crowded the corner of First Avenue and Fillmore Street as one of Kari Lake’s campaign staffers — Andrew Clark, a strategist for former President Donald Trump — softly lamented, “We can’t kick them out. We can’t do anything.”

Lake, the GOP candidate for governor, arrived about 12:45 p.m. — some 45 minutes late — to cast her ballot at a polling place on Arizona State University’s downtown campus. Though her campaign told reporters earlier in the day that she’d vote in the ritzy Republican suburb of Paradise Valley, she said she was “forced” to vote in “liberal Phoenix” thanks to efforts by her opponent, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, to suppress Republican votes through malfunctions to voting machines in conservative neighborhoods.

Her accusations don’t align with the facts. Maricopa County elections officials oversee balloting, and problems with voting tabulating equipment on Tuesday aren't confined to specific areas.

Not just her - it is the entire Republicontin party.

Like the old hack about if you have 1 bad cop and 100 good cops that do nothing about it, you have 101 bad cops.

If you have disgusting fascists Trump/Lake/Green, etc and another 74 million Republicans who do nothing about it, and don't speak up against it, you have 74 million and 3 fascists!

Enough Republicans said enough is enough that the Senate is still in Democratic Party control and the House is only marginally in Republican Party control.  MAGA candidates didn't do as well as they hoped.  There is hope for our country yet.

I keep hoping.  Not very optimistic right now.   We still have Okrahoma.  AZ.  GA. MS.  FL.  et al.

Bastions of ignorance and stupidstition.  And wallowing in it!


evangelists and evangelism in this country is like an insidious cancer eating away the the very life force of our nation.   Still have the 74 million and 3 running around loose.  25 million of them following the Putin Party Line; letter, word, and verse.  True Traitors to the United States of America!
