Big Trump News Conference on Monday

Posted By Jim Moscheck

Well , that didn’t take long. I thought he had irrefutable evidence. Trump’s as much of a blowhard as our own Richie Davis.

Former President Donald Trump's promised press conference to refute the allegations in the indictment handed up by the Fulton County District Attorney's Office is now very much in doubt, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

Sources tell ABC News that Trump's legal advisers have told him that holding such a press conference with dubious claims of voter fraud will only complicate his legal problems and some of his attorneys have advised him to cancel it.

Well, the big news conference has been canceled. 

“Former President Donald Trump on Thursday canceled a planned news conference for next week in which he said he would share claims of election fraud in Georgia in the 2020 election, the same types of claims that led to his indictment in the state earlier this week.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that his lawyers indicated they would rather he compile his claims about election fraud in the state into “formal Legal Filings as we fight to dismiss this disgraceful Indictment.”

Bad News for Democrats who LOVE killing babies in the womb down in Texas and then brag about it

This is one of the most odious of DJT's and your own many odious traits.  You talk as if you are pro-life, but it is entirely clear from his actions and your posts that he and you have no genuine affection or empathy for women, for women's unique challenges, or for babies.   

It is sad that so many sincerely pro-life people fall for Trump's preposterous posing on this issue.  I have no idea if you are a rapist like DJT is.   You are certainly a misogynist of Trumpian proportions.  I can not imagine taunting a man by asking if "his pussy hurts."  Not because this is a laughably  ineffective taunt, at least after junior high.  No, I would never use this taunt because it is premised upon an epic level of disdain for women.  Any of us who are marginally adult and bonded though love to a wife or daughter we respect would never resort to that particular taunt, because it is indisputably grounded in irredeemable disdain for our co-equal female partners in life.   In Trump's world, and possibly in yours, women are useful decorations who exist primarily to gratify male egos and male libido.   And you expect us to believe you are pro-life?

Well said. It’ll go right over the his head, though, if he even reads it.

I don't think the words "hissy fit" mean what you think they mean. You are an odd judge of character. 

.....Here's the fact, You got mad, anc you called me a dick.  Then I responded and asked you if your pussy hurt.  BTW, does it still?  Then James came on and tried to peddle his nonsense that I started the fight.

And no, I didn't get mad. I was pointing out that your responses were making you out to be a jerk. Not to hard to go from being a jerk to being a dick. As far as your pussy comment goes I find that people who talk crass about pussies and such don't have access to one (going to the strip club doesn't count).

Maybe you are channeling some failed game show host who brags about it to impress others? Not working, pal.

Birch Tree

Posted By Jim Moscheck

I’m looking forward to a midweek drive up north in our Miata to see the colors this fall. Could never get away that time of year due to business.

Now that I have retired I avoid going anywhere on the weekends. 

Next year I want to go to northern New England to see the fall colors.

I’m sure there are lots of birch trees there, sorry to veer of topic. 😀

If you ever post a link to an AP or Reuters article, wake me up.
Yes, but most of those nut jobs have three names so they sound really smart and important.

Yeah, I thought we had the largest organism in the UP of Michigan, where you can buy t shirts and sweatshirts touting the Humungus Fugus Among Us, but it is dwarfed by the one in Oregon. I'd say Richard's ego is right up there (yeah, Rich, I emailed all of the guys over the past few days and they all agreed to my sinister plan to not read your posts and then start this up one) LOL. What a moron. Maybe get someone to make you some meat loaf or something since you can't seem get out of the basement and away from your computer. Yeah, Russ nailed it, you failed it.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_organisms

"The largest living fungus may be a honey fungus[19] of the species Armillaria ostoyae.[20] A mushroom of this type in the Malheur National Forest in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon, U.S. was found to be the largest fungal colony in the world, spanning 8.9 km2 (2,200 acres) of area.[21][22] This organism is estimated to be 2,400 years old. The fungus was written about in the April 2003 issue of the Canadian Journal of Forest Research. While an accurate estimate has not been made, the total weight of the colony may be as much as 605 tons[vague]. If this colony is considered a single organism, then it is the largest known organism in the world by area, and rivals the aspen grove "Pando" as the known organism with the highest living biomass. It is not known, however, whether it is a single organism with all parts of the mycelium connected.[22]

A spatial genetic analysis estimated that a specimen of Armillaria ostoyae growing over 91 acres (37 ha) in northern Michigan, United States weighs 440 tons (4 x 105 kg).[23][24] Approximations of the land area of the Oregon "humongous fungus" are 3.5 square miles (9.1 km2) (2,240 acres (910 ha), possibly weighing as much as 35,000 tons as the world's most massive living organism.[25]"

Finally, and I hope our good friend JimB reads this, his last act of defiling everything that is great about America will be when a jury convicts him of a serious crime, and they will all turn out to be liars out to get him.

Elections don't work, the press doesn't work, cops don't work, judges don't work, and the jury system doesn't work..everything is corrupt. That is his legacy to so many poisoned people. This man has done more damage than ISIS to the future of our country.
I do hope there are many intelligent moderates in the GOP and the same with independent voters that agree with you, but only when the rest of the GOP comes to accept the above will they have a chance to regain the WH. I don't understand why folks can't see this, I guess his blind followers are in fact blind. 

Trump has enough support to win the primaries, probably with help from some democrats (which is a bad thing AFAIC), but not nearly enough to beat even a sleepy old Joe Biden in 2024. 

On Edit after reading Jim B.'s reply:

I wish we had another choice, too, maybe Biden will drop out and we'll have a real hootenanny of a convention. It'd be something if Trump is the nominee, is convicted, and then the GOP convention could be the same. They are both too old.

But as one who likes the threads to stay on topic what does all of this have to do with birch trees?

Gee Greg, you could help your buddy out by clicking on one of his threads and giving your thoughts on the matter. 3 views and 1 comment are better than 2 views and 0 comments.

Hey, I just like to see this forum active, but bombastic hyperbolic titles from right wing websites just won't do it. They're not only boring, but they stifle participation.

He's just trolling and using the wrong bait or lures.
