Huzzah! With you on all counts.

And I find the imagery (cheeseburger, etc.) to be quite the cheer-me-up.

Thanks!

No, that's not what I mean!  I am saying that if Trump runs overseas and stays there, there is no way he can realistically run for President.  How is he going to campaign?  How is he going to conduct rallies?  One could even make the case that he would run afoul of certain state laws that would allow him to be put on the presidential ballot.

Could he run via social media?  Nothing prevents him, but how do you get independents to vote for you if you can't be bothered to put on an appearance?  

I think the country is suffering from severe Trump fatigue.  If Trump was abducted by aliens, vanished in the Bermuda Triangle, etc., the Trumpers will spout conspiracy theories for the rest of their lives whilst the rest of us (about 68%) will thank God that he is gone or restrained in such a way that he can no longer do harm.

Personally, I am sick to death of these so call Trump supporters threatening violence every time we turn around.  They don't realize it, but every time they do so, they build a case against themselves to where any law enforcement officer who kills them can easily claim self defense.  

Those who live by the sword will die by the sword.  While I don't foresee Trump getting mowed down by a radical Democrat group, I think the hatred he has stirred up in his victims will ensure that he spends his remaining years being hounded by investigators.  He will never leave us in peace and will only ensure that he will get no peace.

This is a good article that explains classified vs. unclassified documents, and the different levels of classification it also describes how multiple laws appear to have been broken as they pertain not only to classification, but also to national security and presidential documents in general.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/8/14/2116479/-The-truth-is-that-Trump-s-discarding-and-hoarding-of-documents-just-might-be-pathological?detail=emaildkre2&pm_source=DKRE&pm_medium=email

It also lays out how the search at Meh-duh-Lardo was above board, and how the FBI could not have planted any evidence.

@allyn - your last rant reminded me of a line from Fiddler on the Roof. Tevye says, "May God bless and keep the Czar... FAR AWAY FROM US!"

The Great Turning can take a great amount of time.  

50 years ago, Native American Sacheen Littlefeather went on stage at the Academy Awards and refuse the Oscar on behalf of Marlin Brando who had won for his iconic role in The Godfather.   He refused the award because of how Native Americans were treated at Wounded Knee which is why he asked her to make the speech that evening.

The Academy will formally apologized to Littlefeather next month.

"The abuse you endured because of this statement was unwarranted and unjustified," former Academy president David Rubin wrote in a letter to Littlefeather. "The emotional burden you have lived through and the cost to your own career in our industry are irreparable. For too long the courage you showed has been unacknowledged. For this, we offer both our deepest apologies and our sincere admiration."
Littlefeather will appear at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures next month to discuss her history-making Oscars appearance and the future of Indigenous representation onscreen, the Academy said.
 
In a statement, Littlefeather called the upcoming event, during which she'll receive the apology in person, "a dream come true."
"Regarding the Academy's apology to me, we Indians are very patient people -- it's only been 50 years!" she said. "We need to keep our sense of humor about this at all times. It's our method of survival."

I just saw Brandon Van Grack the DOJ prosecutor who prosecuted Manafort and Flynn and he said that the passport issues is all NOISE from IQ45 to distract from the really serious issues. If by chance the passports were collected, all the idiot has to do is have his lawyer call DOJ and it will be returned since there is no court order against the orange blob traveling. Lie to distract and incite. Then repeat again and again. Van Grack was on Rachel Maddow.

CBS news is reporting the the FBI stated that they did not have the evil one’s passports. Lie to distract and incite.

I am a Democrat but I think of the few people left in the other party, Liz Cheney was one who stood to the things that are right for the country. How does her defeat affect the November 2022 results? Do we still see a blue wave and a democrat president in 2024?

I couldn't agree more. Every day on the news, headlines like, "Here's what T thinks about...." or "This is what T plans to do if...." STOP giving him the media attention he craves. I don't give a sh*t about what he thinks or wants or does. The ONLY news stories about him should be about his many crimes and updates about how he and his minions are going to be held accountable.

The only Twitler headline I want to see is "INDICTED ON MULTIPLE COUNTS."

@polarberry Am hitting the like button on this 20x.  It may be the equivalent of a tear drop in the ocean, but every time I come across pundits/experts on social media who post TFG's BS, I respond with "Stop spreading his message, you are making things worse."
