[Well, the congressional Repubs can really futch up President Trump and the country if they don't settle quickly on selecting a Speaker. Operational competency of our political parties is in the toilet. The Dems have historically led the way, but the Repubs are doing their best to now take the title. gjr]

psul: “soon to be President Trump”
I like the sound of that…
“soon to be President Trump”
Biggest political story for probably 100 years. He’s got, what?, 100 Executive Order teed up right now. You can imagine the uproar when federal workers are told to show up at the office, tampons are removed from men’s restrooms, DEI is disassembled before our eyes. The consternation should be interesting in the military given the flag rank guys who have shinnied up the Team Blue Transgender pole.
If we put our pennies together, we could buy psul an Epoch Times subscription maybe.
I do like the Greenland story, it sounds like a greater than zero chance that some deal is struck.
It’s a good timeline currently.
Trump a felon? Me no care. Gives him street cred. The wailing and lamentation of the women should be epic.

re Paul 2:49 – I’m saying what all legal analysts who have followed the case have said. Trump was tried for a misdemeanor in which the statute of limitations had passed. The DA called it a felony based on positing that Trump did so while committing another crime for which he could never name and which Trump was never charged with or convicted of. I’m saying the prosecution and trial was a gross miscarriage of justice and the judge and all involved in the prosecution in the DAs office should be brought up on charges.
Furthermore – this should be investigated:
“President Joe Biden’s third-highest-ranking
Department of Justice official quit to join the
Manhattan office investigating Donald Trump on
November 18, 2022 – only three days after Trump
announced his 2024 run and the same day Attorney
General Merrick Garland appointed special counsel
Jack Smith, and White House attorneys met for
eight-hours with Nathan Wade.”

This isn’t about Trump – it’s about our fed govt being used by the Dems as a weapon against a political opponent.
This is the kind of crap dictators do. It’s a stain on our country and it’s an embarrassment for our country that millions of citizens think it’s OK.

The lawfare against Trump didn’t simply fail.
It tore the lid off the corrupt Democrat machine and let us all watch.
This is a perfect ending. Anything cleaner would have let us forget. Now, every time Dems call Trump a felon, we get to remember what they did to the country.
Their Scarlet Letter strategy was as dumb as their leadership.

Hell, I don’t really know myself. I think it was some sort of bookkeeping thing for tax purposes.
I agree with Scott Adams though. The Democrats have been flayed open for everyone to see how corrupt they are…and by golly, none of this mattered a bit. Trump is the biggest winner of all time. He’s psul’s President and psul has to mind him, and the cracks are showing on the insane people worldwide.
These are wonderful times.
I always wonder about Great Man renditions of history. Is Trump due full credit for starting to patch things together again? or would we have invented another Trump without him?
Somehow I feel a gigantic debt to DJT and wish success on the new administration.

Some words on the ‘Trump Effect’.
“A glance across America and Europe leads to an unmistakable conclusion: Revolution is in the air.
The failures of democracies are sparking internal upheavals.
Thankfully, spasms of violence and bloodshed are few, but a toxic brew of overbearing governments, shrinking freedoms and undeniable decline is producing demands for big changes. ….”

scenes 7:00 – “A glance across America and Europe leads to an unmistakable conclusion: Revolution is in the air”
The Blob exists in Europe just as it exists here. In GB, the Tories and Labour have been exposed for the financial quacks they are and the public is waking up to the fact of the matter. Thatcher’s warning about running out of other people’s money has been hastened to its obvious conclusion by the insane ‘green’ policies of the GB Blob. Cost of a kwh in GB is currently around 30 cents American. And it’s going to rise. Much the same is happening in Germany and other EU countries.
“High energy prices have already struck a blow to European competitiveness in chemical manufacturing. They are now prompting BASF to lay off thousands of workers and shut down sections of its flagship facility in Ludwigshafen, Germany.”

This is on top of car plants being shut down because they can’t sell the ‘mandated’ E-cars.
The US and the EU have slit their own throats open chasing a chimera of “zero carbon”. China is building coal powered plants by the dozens every year. Guess who wins that race?
Add in the allowed massive influx of the 3rd world to a formally civilized Europe and you have one huge toxic brew of trouble.
Reminder – The general population of Europe is largely unarmed. The Blob there feel it will be easy to control the masses until they find out they can’t.
