the FBF won most of the Republic primaries this past Tuesday.  Why is it that when he wins, the elections are fair, but when he looses, they are rigged. "If god could come down and tally the 2020 votes in California, I would have won big." Do you really think this comes from a rational mind?  When the FBF won the 2016 election, people were surprised to say the least. I read the Muller report and in it he concluded that there had been attempts by foreign governments to affect the outcome of the election, but there was no way to determine how effective those efforts were. Muller also said that the Trump organization did in fact solicit  what was presumed to be dirt on Hilary Clinton provided by foreign agents. The FBF said publicly that he would look at any information on political opponents provided by any source, domestic or foreign. This was and is illegal.  That does not bother you?

    During the 2020 election, the states where voting results were challenged were primarily run by Republics.  If there truly was massive voter fraud, then the Democrats are a vastly more powerful entity than the lowly Republics, because the Democrats managed to either fool or subvert whole Republic political machines.  What I find most enlightening is the fact that maga  people have no understanding of human nature and actually believe that is possible. Human nature being what it is, there would be people within this conspiracy willing to sell out for money or fame. People who had photographs or secret recordings or signed documents revealing a conspiracy of such magnitude, none of which exist.  Giuliani  himself  said  that they had ideas on how fraud might have been committed, but they had no evidence. Is it rational to accept that as proof of fraud?  At least one of the four dead voters in Georgia voted Republic. Do you really think all the voter fraud could be perpetrated by Democrats? Are your neighbors that sinister?

      If Hilary Clinton was eating babies under a pizza shop, there is no way that someone would not have photographed it.  When the Nazis began their extermination of Jews, people escaped and reported it. What prevented action sooner was the fact that people just could not believe that humans, in the modern age, could perform such atrocities.  Before the World Trade Centers were attacked, there was evidence of the plot, but no one had the imagination to believe it might be true, but there was clear evidence of the plot.

    I have come to the conclusion that maga republics are people who live in a completely different reality. That reality is not going to change until their dictator gets into office. Once elected, I guarantee you that he will fight to stay in power for a third term. He will fill the government with people who will rape and pillage the state coffers.  He will destroy trade unions and collective bargaining. He will destroy the FDA, the CDC, the NTSB and all those agencies that have been built up over the years as a counter to the rapacious nature of the capitalist.  Unfettered capitalism is more dangerous than government. All those West Virginia coal miners that fought for the right to unionize and to have a safe work environment will turn over in their graves.  You are spitting on the graves of all those who have died supposedly to protect our rights as a free people.  

 The supreme court has just ruled that the FBF  can run for president.  The FBF's lawyers have made the argument that section 3 of the 14th amendment ("No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.") does not apply to their client because he never took an oath which contains the words "to support" the constitution and that the "president" is not specifically listed as one of those having taken an oath.  So we are looking at the exact wording, not taking into account the fact that in our language one word can be substituted for another. Any one who has a thesaurus knows this.  

    But OK lets go with that.  There has been much discussion around this issue as it pertained to the  American Civil War, and that the specific intent of this amendment was to prevent individuals on the loosing side from getting into congress, BUT, there is not one single reference to that war in the amendment. Using the logic of the FBF's lawyers, you cannot say that this amendment was meant specifically to disqualify members of the Confederacy because it does not name the Confederacy in the amendment.  The amendment applies to anyone, forever.

    The second amendment:"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."  If we take the FBF lawyers position and apply it to this amendment, it is plain to see  that no person can be denied the right to bear arms. This does not even restrict this to citizens of the United States.  We have non citizens in our military. Any person regardless of their age, sex, nationality,  criminal history, or mental acuity has the constitutional right to bear arms without restriction.  Any weapon you can carry the 2nd amendment gives you the right to carry anywhere any time, if you read the words literally. When the supreme court says that a state can deny a convicted killer who has served their sentence the right to carry a gun, they are ignoring their textualist argument, often applied to the decisions of the conservative members of the court.  

    The fascist regime of the FBF is on the rise. Watch your back. Be careful what you say and to whom you say it, for the brown shirts may come in the night and fog to make you disappear.

 On the border situation:

    The president of the United States is an executive, duh, and his/her actions are dictated by the constitution and the laws that congress passes. Despite the FBF's contention, the president does not have absolute authority to do anything.  When the FBF was president, he inherited a rising economy that had been doing so for the previous seven years under Obama.  His massive tax cut for the wealthiest Americans added $6,000,000,000,000 to the national debt and the pandemic allowed him to do extraordinary things at our border under current law. The title 42 action of closing the border and having people remain in Mexico was based on a law created by congress and signed into law by a president granting the president through  the CDC the power to close the borders in the case of a disease transmission issue.  When that condition no longer existed, the president could no longer close the border and had to follow the laws as they existed, which is why the current president has stated that he would close the border tomorrow if congress passed a law granting him that power.  He simply does not have the legal authority to do that at this time. The FBF was sued many times for his executive orders that were illegal.

    In 1930 under the fascist leader Mussolini, during the Italian campaign to conquer Libya in North Africa, a 190 mile long fence was built along the border with Egypt, constructed of two walls of barbed wire with machine gun towers at appropriate distances and patrolled by armored vehicles. If you came through the first wire, you were shot getting through the second wire. Greg Abbot of Texas seems bent on building the same kind of wall. The only thing still missing is the machine guns.  

    If the people living in this country truly want to stop migration, which is global in scope, then they have to be willing to make it clear that coming here is more dangerous than staying home.  If you can't stomach that, then you have to cause to be built enough concentration camps to house the immigrants while they are having their claims of asylum determined. If you don't want to spend the money, what alternative is there but to take down the pertinent information and releasing them. We are supposed to have all this great technology, fingerprinting, facial recognition, etc. Why can't we track these people?  The Chinese Communists seem to have this whole thing down really well.

    As to the fentanyl,  if the demand was not there then the supply would dry up. It is that simple. Stop buying the damn stuff. 

     If you are worried about terrorists getting into the country, good luck, because they are of a different sort. They are soldiers, and they will endure much hardship to travel by any route to get here to harm us.  We have over 88,000 miles of coastline and over 7,000 miles of land borders.  It seems like money well spent to help stabilize other parts of the world, so those people will not want to leave their homes for so uncertain a future.

 I just finished reading the deposition that Hunter Biden gave to the House Republics.  Boy, you should pray that you never have to remember what you did a few years ago or even yesterday. There is no way in the world that I could have withstood that kind of onslaught. I would have become a gibbering idiot. I do understand that, regardless of which party is in control of the inquisition, there will be individuals that exaggerate or embellish or add personal quips to any testimony. Some of the Democrats did similar stuff during the Jan. 6th investigation, but nothing quite as blatant as the republics did.

Gaetz held up a piece of paper with writing on it claiming that it was a $200,000 bribe paid to President Biden through his brother.  The brother testified that it had been repayment for a family loan, but Gaetz neglected to mention the fact that the banking records do show specifically that Biden had lent his brother the money and that it had been repaid.  the republics often took information out of context or information that could not be authenticated as fact.  Really crappy forensic work.

I have watched enough American Greed on the television to understand that the purpose of incorporating or forming LLCs is to avoid personal liability, to put the risk onto other people.  There must be millions of LLCs around the Washington area , with wheeler dealers coming out of the wood work working the system. There are hundreds or thousands of government employees or elected officials whose family members or friends get hired by other government agencies or elected officials. It is a perk of the job, like an actor's child getting a job in the movie business just because the parent is in the business. So when Hunter Biden gets hired to be on the board of an international company for a position that his business experience qualifies him to hold, it may also be a perk that he has name recognition because his father is in government. If someone hired you at $65,000 a month for a job for which you had the expertise, and that job could conceivably create the appearance of conflict with someone you knew, would you seriously turn it down? I would take the job and make sure there was no conflict.  The FBF himself has often said that he shook someone's had but did not know them. Because he is so special lots of people want to get near him.  He was rubbing elbows with Jeffry Epstein, the sex trafficker, but that did not necessarily make him one too. Some of Hunter Biden's business associates met Hunter's dad during social gatherings. So?

I read once that Cardinal Richelieu, the first prime minister of France, was purported to have said that given just five (5) statements made by any person, he could convict them of any crime. The republics have given it their best shot and missed completely. There is no evidence of any kind that President Biden used his office for personal gain or influenced policy to benefit his son. It just isn't there.  And if by some evil twist of fate, the fat bloviating fart (FBF) gets reelected, then the dissolution of these United States is upon your heads and you deserve what you get.
