Vote for me or don't vote at all. You lost the GOP the senate, house, the last midterm elections, and the WH. Looks like another winning strategy from the former guy. And the GOP just follows him like the spineless idiots they are.

Sorry, I read the posts here and that is the tone I get from many of them. I was just giving it back to them the way they give it to us. Petty? Immature? Exasperated? Disappointed in many/most members of the GOP? Guilty on all counts.

Just saw this looking at Rod's link in the IDF thread.

Aspirin lowers risk of COVID: New findings support preliminary Israeli trial

I have a bad back that I take aspirin for, probably too much, but makes sense that it would help reduce blood clotting in the lungs.

So, is the death of Colin Powell political?

Posted By Jim Moscheck

"Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media," Trump said in a statement. "Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO [Republican in Name Only], if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!"

So, this is the POS you guys on the far right support? I agree Colin Powell did make some mistakes, but for a former president to be snarky about it the day after his death? Truly classless. I hope he does run again, that will surely awaken the base. Too bad it'll be the one that lost him two Georgia senate seats and the senate, the house, and the presidency all in one fell swoop. I sure hope you guys keep supporting this loser.

EXCLUSIVE: Jan. 6 Protest Organizers Say They Participated in ‘Dozens’ of Planning Meetings With Members of Congress and White House Staff

Posted By Jim Moscheck

Two guys, who were involved in the planning of Jan 6th protest rally, are pissed that the blanket pardons that were dangled before them didn't happen. While they both still support Trump's agenda, both are now talking to the reporters of the RS article and congressional investigators. One was a "rally organizer" and the other a "planner" of the Jan 6th rally.

"For the sake of clarity, we will refer to one of the sources as a rally organizer and the other as a planner. Rolling Stone has confirmed that both sources were involved in organizing the main event aimed at objecting to the electoral certification, which took place at the White House Ellipse on Jan. 6." 

Along with today's article in the Washington Post about the command center at the Willard Hotel no wonder so many want to shove this under the rug and move on. I talking to you Condoleezza Rice.

Interesting reading, although I'm sure it will do nothing to convince anyone here who is a Trump supporter. Probably not reported on Fox or OAAN or wherever it is you guys get your fake news from.

Dude, I didn't write the story. It's breaking news. The names are being withheld, but they said they will openly testify to congress.

Y'all know about the Eastman memo. Right? What Richard calls event planning was actually an intent to forgo the will of the people based on the Big Lie and attempt to steal the election from Biden.

"In those first days in January, from the command center, Trump allies were calling members of Republican-dominated legislatures in swing states that Eastman had spotlighted in his memos, including Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona, encouraging them to convene special sessions to investigate fraud and to reassign electoral college votes from Biden to Trump, two of the people familiar with the operation said."

Thankfully, a Michigander had the guts to ask the question. Where's the beef?

"On Jan. 2, Trump, Giuliani and Eastman spoke to 300 state legislators via a conference call meant to arm them with purported evidence of fraud and galvanize them to take action to “decertify” their election results. “You are the real power,” Trump told the state lawmakers, according to a Washington Examiner report. “You’re the ones that are going to make the decision.”

A participant on the call, Michigan state Sen. Ed McBroom (R), recalled listening as Trump, Giuliani, Eastman and others described the power state legislators have over the certification of electors. “I didn’t need any convincing about our plenary powers,” McBroom told The Post. “I was listening to hear whether they had any evidence to substantiate claims” of significant voter fraud that could change the results in Michigan. The callers did not provide additional information, he said, and he did not support a delay in the electoral vote count."



It all might have worked had it not been for Pence. 

"But by Jan. 5, Pence was not sold on the plan, according to “Peril.” That evening, Trump called over to Giuliani and then to Bannon, who were both at the Willard at the time, according to the book, which reported some details of the events at the Willard that day. Trump told Bannon that Pence had been “very arrogant” when the two discussed the matter earlier in the day, the book reported. The following day, Eastman spoke at the rally on the Ellipse.

“All we are demanding of Vice President Pence is this afternoon at one o’clock he let the legislatures of the states look into this so that we get to the bottom of it and the American people know whether we have control of the direction of our government or not!” Eastman told the crowd. “We no longer live in a self-governing republic if we can’t get the answer to this question!

Pence withstood the pressure. Around 1 p.m., as he prepared to gavel in the joint session, he announced via a letter posted to Twitter that he would count the electoral college votes as they had been cast several weeks earlier."


You all know what happened next. We all watched it live on TV. Not saying the two things are related, but they did have a gallows set up for Pence, that must have taken some planning.
