Fun "JD" facts:

1. "According to text messages obtained by The Washington Post, in 2020 — shortly before the end of Trump’s time in office — Vance complained that “Trump has just so thoroughly failed to deliver on his economic populism (excepting a disjointed China policy).”

"In the conversation, Vance predicted that Trump would lose the 2020 election. “I think Trump will probably lose,” he wrote in June of 2020."

"Vance has since become a staunch defender of Trump’s false claims of election fraud."


2. " In 2016, Vance suggested that Trump might be “America’s Hitler,” in text messages to a former roommate. In a 2016 op-ed in The New York Times, Vance wrote that then-candidate Trump was “unfit for our nation’s highest office.” That same year, Vance described himself as “a Never Trump guy.” 

“Trump makes people I care about afraid. Immigrants, Muslims, etc. Because of this I find him reprehensible. God wants better of us,” Vance wrote on X in October 2016."

3. "Ohio’s Vance is repeating Kremlin talking points on sanctions" "Asked repeatedly to comment on the accusation, Vance’s office declined to respond on the record."

Speaking of meals, here's the "JD" restaurant fiasco! You can't make this stuff up!

They're so WEIRD!

After reading about Trump's nonsensical border outrage fuel for his base and Richie's response to factual information, it's no wonder the Republicans have stopped talking about cognitive testing for seventy-plus year olds or those exhibiting similar impairment...

It takes facts and a brain to counter the facts of what the Biden administration has done.

It is your one and only ploy to make false assertions and then run and hide under your desk  (I have to say that if I was as inept as you are James in being able to support your arguments, I'd probably do as you do and hide under a desk.  )

But the facts remain that the ICE report is out there and it indicates that 13,000+ Convicted murderers were let into this nation along with 16,000+ rapists. 

Here's the report by Patrick J. Lechleitner, Deputy Director of ICE.

Never let facts get in the way of a Trump fanatic:

"Former President Donald Trump is wildly distorting new statistics on immigration and crime to attack Vice President Kamala Harris."

"Trump falsely claimed Friday and Saturday that the statistics are specifically about criminal offenders who entered the US during the Biden-Harris administration; in reality, the figures are about offenders who entered the US over multiple decades, including during the Trump administration. And Trump falsely claimed that the statistics are specifically about people who are now living freely in the US; the figures actually include people who are currently in jails and prisons serving criminal sentences."

"A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, said in a Saturday email: “The data in this letter is being misinterpreted. The data goes back decades; it includes individuals who entered the country over the past 40 years or more, the vast majority of whose custody determination was made long before this Administration. It also includes many who are under the jurisdiction or currently incarcerated by federal, state or local law enforcement partners.”

Not even Fox is buying it:

"A reporter for Fox News, the right-wing outlet whose reporting on these statistics Trump repeatedly promoted on Friday, noted Friday evening on social media that “not all of these criminals entered during the Biden admin, as some are claiming” and that “some of these criminals go back many years across multiple administrations.”

"Former President Trump threatened Friday to prosecute Google if elected in November, alleging the search engine was “only” showing “bad” stories about him and “good” articles about Vice President Harris." " I will request their prosecution, at the maximum levels, when I win the Election, and become President of the United States!”

“Both campaign websites consistently appear at the top of Search for relevant and common search queries,” a Google spokesperson said. “This report looked at a single rare search term on a single day a few weeks ago, and even for that search, both candidates’ websites ranked in the top results on Google.”

If anything Faux news and the like ought to draw that kind of criticism given the overt bias it demonstrates on a daily basis...

"Trump hawks $100,000 watches as he leverages his candidacy for profit"

“These watches are truly special—you’re going to love them,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, the same social media site where he shares political messages with his supporters."

"Trump has netted millions of dollars selling new items featuring his name and likeness. For example, he last year made $7.2 million through a licensing deal with NFT INT, LLC, a company that is selling Trump digital NFT, or non-fungible token, “trading cards.”

"This week, he also launched “Trump Coins” – a 1oz .999% silver medallion with the former president’s face on one side and his signature on the White House on the back."

The Grifter In Chief at it again...

How these Georgia workers and residents will shoot themselves in the foot by voting for Trump:

“I can’t believe we’re having this conversation again. So here we go. You know who the candidates are,” Elliott says in the video, as a photo of a serene American landscape transitioned to a depiction of an American farmer walking down a dirt path between his crops."

“You know what’s at stake,” Elliott says. “One candidate promises a divided America filled with lies and hate, and one stands for change. Kamala Harris has more courage, more honor, more guts than this guy ever had."

“So you decide: Are we really going back down that same f‑‑‑ing broken road? Or are we moving forward towards hope, towards freedom, towards change?”

I've been thinking about this but the situation with Trump this time around, without any guardrails in place, is entirely different from we've experienced in the past.

The markets don't like elevated risks and drop severely. Trump is batshit crazy and nothing, not the congress, the courts or the law will restrain him. The damage he can and will do is extreme. I don't see how the markets can react favorably to that....

Hey brain surgeon how do You propose that we can pay back this National Debt at $35.5 Trillion?

Do you have any ideas brain surgeon?

Hey dipshit, Trump just said he "gave us the biggest tax hikes in history"; that's how...

PS: "Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years."
