[Can anyone give a cogent reason why Trump is being prosecuted for speaking openly against the validity of the 2022 election that put Joe Biden in the White House?  All the man did was exercise his 1A rights, and that included asking Georgia’s governor to review his state’s vote count to see if he could come up with more Trump votes.  He blackmailed no one; he threatened no one; he just gave lip service to his opinions and beliefs to see if there was any legal and non-violent way he could change the outcome of the election.  According to our Constitution anyone can do that, and Democrats have already demonstrated that such opposition to election outcomes are perfectly legal.  gjr]

    For the Green Weenies, Lefties and other humans that think history started a few months ago:
    https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/08/whither-the-weather.php
    An excellent example of news clippings from 100 years ago or more.
    As well as what we conservatives remember from the 70s that was “settled science”.
    Also a total smackdown on articles like this:
    “Wildfires Are Exploding in Unexpected Places Due to Climate Change”
    Sorry – no. Total bull shit.

    Interestingly enough, the same website offers another example of why the current climate hysteria is just nonsense:
    “Scientists Say Climate Change Contributed to the Bronze Age Collapse”
    Must have been all that CO2 from the bronze smelting, right?

    Bad news for the Dems. Looks like Trump is going to end up in the slam and Fulton County has not even concluded their criminal investigation yet. It would have been an easy win for Biden or whomever to run against the biggest political loser in modern history-probably back to the 1880’s- but Trump will likely be indicted on multiple felonies by the end of the week. Who will the next Republa-chump be?

    What’s the best Donald Trump joke you have heard?
    Trump’s aide says to him, “Sir, I had a dream you got your parade. It was miles and miles long winding through Washington DC. Joyful Americans lined the route, literally in the millions. People were laughing, cheering, playing in the street. You were riding in the most beautiful carriage.”
    Trump asks, “Was I happy?”
    The aide answers, “I don’t know, sir. The casket was closed.”

    I wrote that quote well before the Trump takeover of the Republican Party probably when Romney was the Pres candidate. I admit to being hopelessly naive. You must have a lot of free time to dig that up. It doesn’t change at all my disappointment in Trumps fall because he was such a loser. In detail Trump was the only President that in only one term lost the House, Senate and Presidency in just 4 years. What a gift to have such a loser as a candidate for the Repubs. Biggest loser since sometime in the 1800’s

    It’s hard to govern when the party out of power concocts lies such as Trump being a Russian asset, or that a laptop in for repairs was a plant from Russian intelligence. And because the print and video media are in the Democratic back pocket… little notice is given.
    Whoever gets the GOP nomination, the campaign ads will be smoking in 2024.

    Another tale of the shithole –
    In a full-page ad published in the San Francisco Chronicle on Sunday, Gump’s CEO John Chachas penned an open letter calling for their “destructive” and “failed public policies” to be abandoned.
    “An Open Letter to Governor Newsom, Mayor Breed and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors: Gump’s has been a San Francisco icon for more than 165 years. Today, as we prepare for our 166th holiday season at 250 Post Street, we fear this may be our last because of the profound erosion of this city’s current conditions,”
    “San Francisco now suffers from a ‘tyranny of the minority’ —behavior and actions of the few that jeopardize the livelihood of the many. The ramifications of COVID policies advising people to abandon their offices are only beginning to be understood. Equally devastating have been a litany of destructive San Francisco strategies, including allowing the homeless to occupy our sidewalks, to openly distribute and use illegal drugs, to harass the public and to defile the city’s streets.”
    “Such abject disregard for civilized conduct makes San Francisco unlivable for its residents, unsafe for our employees, and unwelcoming to visitors from around the world.”

    They are being called “Blade Runners,” and they are sabotaging London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s dystopian Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) traffic cameras that target the poor with massive fines.
    Khan has installed ULEZ cameras throughout London. The idea, he says, is to reduce emissions. The result is that people who cannot afford new cars are fined up to $16 a day just for driving in London. The ULEZ camera snaps a photo of your license plate as you pass, searches for your plate number in a database, and if your car isn’t new enough, you are charged 12.50 English pounds.

    Paul is so full of shit. I’ve pointed out many of his lies and he just disappears for a while and comes back with a new topic. Then he goes into his “what lies” and then responds with something about Trump or Fish using a nom de plume or some other sort of dodge. It’s a mental or emotional problem of his. He really needs some sort of treatment. I hear the Sikhs are good at that sort of thing.
