  1. A Stalinist nightmare in New York State, by STEVEN CALABRESI

    "Ms. James and Judge Engeron have essentially turned a vaguely worded New York State law into a modern day Bill of Attainder targeted at Donald Trump both for political gain and because they despise his political views and desperately want to call his truthfulness into question as he runs for President of the United States inn 2024.  In doing this, the have violated Trump's First Amendment right to freedom of speech and of the press; his Fifth Amendment right not to be deprived of liberty or property without due process of law; his Fifth Amendment right not to have property taken away from him except for a pubic use with just compensation being paid; his Eighth Amendment right not to be made to pay an excessive fine; his Article IV, Section 2 right as a citizen of Florida to do make and enforce contracts in New York on the same terms as are other New Yorkers; and his Fourteenth Amendment right to be free to pursue an occupation without unnecessary and burdensome regulation."

    The ball will really get rolling when they imprison him and then Epstein him there. Won't be long, now.

    Future Presidents will have a field day with this new ethos and precedent of weaponizing the courts to destroy leading opposition candidates. Anything to avoid four more years of no war, a tamed Putin, middle east peace treaties, $1.50 gas, right?

    Support for our constitutional democratic form of government is actually pretty weak, I gather, among the anti-intellectual portion of the citizens. Mr. Trump stirs that weak portion for support.

    Projection, genius! Yeah go with that -- pretend you didn't notice an election was stolen and busy yourself accusing the other side of not caring about stuff like that.

    you have not provided any evidence that supports the claim that covid does not exist, which is necessary to overcome the direct evidence of the senses, which cannot be rationally denied, that covid does exist.

    Provide evidence for/prove a negative? 

    Oh, now you know of its positive existence through undeniable direct sensory evidence?

    You are a clown.

    "Yet you still have no personal evidence to support your position, it is entirely based on believing the claims of other people."

    No, clown. You know where the burden lies.

    We're not believing anyone's claims, and we don't have to produce shit in this debate, which you well understand.

  4. Donald J. Trump, Jan 6, 2021:

    "You have to go home, now."

    "We have to have peace."

    "We have to have law and order."

    "We have to respect our great people in law and order."

    "We can't play into the hands of these people; we have to have peace."

    "Go home and go home in peace."

    They went home in peace and thus ended the terrible "insurrection" lol.

    Next time, his supporters won't hear his pleas for peace, he will be silenced next time, in prison or dead, like all the Never Trump Morons want so badly.

  5. Who wants to tell that man the retarded mantra I've heard so many times from certain quarters, "we can survive four years of Biden"? You think he is confused about who is ruining his life? And when they put Trump in prison and this guy is looking at another winter outdoors in the frigid northeast?

    Tens of thousands of veterans are homeless, like that man. They have much more to resent, they don't just work hard forty hours a week, they were sent to some shithole desert at risk of their lives to kill strangers (and haven't forgotten how.) And now their country isn't keeping them off the streets. They're dying in the cold while we import trash and provide comfortable housing to the trash, instead of our own heroes.

    Trump is going to promise them the world over the next few months. Then, the politicians they well understand to be their destroyers are going to imprison or murder Trump.

    Buckle up.

    Tens of millions in the US, billions around the globe, feel that they're not getting that, and never will.

    Look at the unrest in Europe at this moment.

    Your prediction of continuing countenance and peace has been rather reliable in the past but things are changing in radical, fundamental ways.

    How much longer do you suppose we can we expect this ignorant, alt-right, anti-immigration racist to choose non-violence for the sake of his "peaceful place under law to live"?

     

     

  7. It is a preposterous insult to Donald Trump's very person to suggest he would go near that gross woman. He accessed professional models his whole life, the notion is ridiculous.

    Stuff like that has only infuriated his supporters. No one buys it and they are getting less and less likely to object at all to the coming irregular repercussions. They are becoming more and more convinced those irregular repercussions are necessary and unavoidable -- that's what all the fraudulent attacks on him have accomplished and are accomplishing.

    Elon Musk, 2/3/24:

    In the “bet-you-didn’t-know” category, Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas issued written guidance making it clear that: 1. Illegal presence alone is not grounds for deportation. 2. Criminal charges, convictions or gang membership alone are not enough for deportation. You basically have to be a convicted axe murderer to be deported! That’s because every deportation is a lost vote.

  9. One thing that really sticks out to me is that in my experience with leftists, Trump haters, democrats, liberals, they never, and I mean never, bring facts to me that I didn't already know about.

    Whereas they are constantly responding to me with "what? I never heard that. You think that's true? Where could I look into that?" LATER: "OK, so it is true, but so what?" This happens to me over and over and over. They can't immediately see the SO WHAT because of SO MUCH more they don't know about, but good luck explaining any that to one of them.

    They are not informed.

    AND THAT'S OK.

    But why they won't take the responsible and logical next step of not voting I truly don't understand.

    So to paraphrase your response, you personally have no evidence to support the claim, instead you believe a claim made by others. Which is pretty much the same basis that 99.99% of people on the planet have for the affirmative belief that covid exists: they have heard an “authoritative request”, they have no reason to deny the claim and some reason to accept the claim – an act of faith. Clearly, we have an epistemological crisis: contradictory positions, so how do we chose between rejecting vs. accepting the claim (that covid is real)?

    You don't choose between competing positions as though they are somehow starting out equal, where in the world did you get that?

    You assess whether the assertion that it exists has been proven.

    It has not been.

    Let go of your pearls, there is no "epistemological crisis," here.

  11. Elon Musk on X: "Biden’s strategy is very simple: 1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible. 2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state.

  12. During the Scamdemic, Ivermectin, a powerful, out-of-patent and cheap anti-parasitic whose discoverer won a Nobel Prize for Medicine for said discovery, was poo-pooed by every tentacle of the system. It was called 'horse dewormer" as though that's all it is. Ivermectin has eliminated river blindness in whole swathes of Africa, it has been nothing short of a miracle drug. It is also a powerful anti-viral. Doctors around the world prescribed it for covid and as a prophylactic against covid, flu, colds and other viral pathogens. Doctors around the world were ridiculed by the whole system for prescribing Ivermectin. Doctors around the world were prevented from prescribing it, with the licenses they feed their families with explicitly threatened. Pharmacies around the world refused to fill legitimate prescriptions for Ivermectin by medical doctors. The FDA ran misinformation social media campaigns saying "You're not a horse. Seriously, stop it."

    Why all that effort?

    Because the Emergency Use Authorization, which our overlords used to justify coercing an experimental treatment on billions of people, requires that no other drugs exist for fighting the relevant pathogen.

    So they systematically attacked Ivermectin until after they got their way on forcing mystery cocktails on the masses.

    Now they're quietly admitting Ivermectin is also a powerful anti-cancer agent.

    "Ivermectin can suppress almost completely the growth of various human cancers"

    Anti-parasite drug ivermectin can suppress ovarian cancer by regulating lncRNA-EIF4A3-mRNA axes - PMC (nih.gov)

     

    Full-disclosure sidenote:

    As a two-decade user of Humira I may be immunosuppressed and therefore have been using Ivermectin twice weekly, prophylactically, for the last three years, following the FLCCC Alliance recommendations.

    I used to get 6-8 colds per year, no exceptions, my whole life. I have had no colds since starting IVM. I have taken no tests or coerced shots, why would I?

    I obtain the medicine at Tractor Supply Co. The first time I went in I was asked by a nice young lady if I needed help to find something. I asked if they carried Ivermectin.

    "Of course! It's one of our best sellers! Follow me."

    I followed her to the "Equine" section.

    "All you need to know is these over here contain only Ivermectin, but these contain Ivermectin and also [some other compound] and that stuff really is only for horses. Come find me if you have any questions."

    And she walked away.

    Do your own work, of course, but you will find that the per pound of patient instructions on the packaging are equal to per pound human patient dosing, 50 lbs per click.) So, if you weigh about 150 lbs, eject three clicks onto a cracker. If you weigh about 200 pounds, eject four clicks onto a cracker and enjoy. Costs about $2 per dose. Keeps you out of the hospital where they will pretend you need a ventilator and then murder you with one.

  13. Now "declaring" isn't "even vaguely" like "saying." Pearl clutchers are tedious in the extreme, aren't they?

    Pence had the right to turn the results back. Doing so would not have been constitutionally problematic, that's just another piece of pure nonsense from the willful destroyers of our republic.

    The constitution requires the VP to sign off on the results. This means the constitution allows him to question the results and send them back, otherwise why have the provision that requires him to review and accept results? That would be a meaningless rubber-stamp provision.

    TDS sufferers will cling to any non-sense they imagine they can plausibly pretend to believe in.

  14. Trump will not be sworn in again. Our destroyers understand it would be the end of them so they will not allow it under any circumstance.

    The pearl-clutchers should start worrying about their much bigger problems, such as what course of action MAGA selects after the enemies of humanity murder Trump as they have explicitly and gleefully fantasied doing on television, in print and on social media, since 2016.

    MAGA is inches away from following the enemy's lead of abandoning traditional processes. When that happens things will rapidly get very bad. It is going to be much, much worse than another 2016-2020. (Remember all the no war? Russia tamed? North Korea calm? Middle East peace, remember that? Abraham Accords? MUCH worse than all that! Clutch your pearls at the thought!! 😄)

    After 2025, you will think back and wish for a hundred more 2016-2020s.

    But, yeah, carry on, pearl-clutchers! Loudly support whatever it takes to keep him out of the White House!!
