Rule of Claw

My Twitter "Earthquake is Coming" Chatter Is Off The Charts

My sources are good, as they were with the NYT tax story. Thing is not being told as to what except that it does involve a major Trump scandal. Only thing I am told is that when it breaks, by comparison, you will ask, "what taxes?" Other words being used are "historical, unprecedented, discombobulating, and "will politically end the GOP."

Take it as you will.

Unsealing her testimony might reveal something that'll stick to teflon Donnie, and maybe his unsavory spawn, too.

But to "politically end the GOP," the only thing I can think of offhand is some pretty damning evidence of knowing, eyes-wide-open treason with PapaPutie to undermine US elections, mixed in with recordings of statements about what they really think of their slavering MAGAts. And maybe some off-shore bank accounts with funds deposited from Russian mobsters?

I had a friend whose wife was a Financial Wizard, well-connected. Once, at a dinner party in the late 80's, she held us spell-bound while telling the inside story on one Donald J. Trump. The guy is crooked as they come. If not for a legion of lawyers, and his daddy's money he would have been jailed long ago.

For myself, I think that Trumpy knows he is in BIG trouble - taxes, treason, mass murder, crimes against humanity, and so on - when he is defeated. So, I suspect he will try to leave the country and seek asylum with Russia or his buddy in N. Korea.

If that happens, it truly will 'politically end the GOP.' No doubt.

I just don't see how he could flee with all the Secret Service people around. Maybe from Mar-a-Lago or some such place. A dash to a plane, and he's 8 or 10 hours in the air before anyone discovers he is gone.

Regardless, a person can be a classic Wrong Way Thinker in terms of probability, and still have good sources. I'm willing to see what happens.

The OP also has good grasp of demographic realities like percentage of the white vote needed by Biden in certain states

My best advice to Wrong Way Thinking is always to envision all those thousands cars zipping down the freeway across the country. Those occupants don't care about today's developments. They don't even know it happened. That's why the outcome is not going to include resignation or anything similar

...would be tuned out as election noise. I think people are becoming accustomed to discounting any pre-election bombshells. Right now anyone with any authority to end the GOP share Trump's complicity. The senate's not going to do a damn thing, the DOJ's not, and no one's gonna resign. It's just another scandal that pushes the threshold a little farther, and which nothing will come of until the voters sort some bastards out.

I'd rather let Trump spend the next couple weeks digging his hole a little deeper, and hopefully take the senate majority with him. As far as additional revelations about the crimes of Trump, McConnell (et al), GOP, RNC, NRA, etc., I'd rather see that happen as part of a special prosecutor or similar entities who have the authority to fully investigate and prosecute whatever they find.

I think at least some people are inclined to question the credibility of damaging stories that emerge in the eleventh hour of an election.

First, stars that size don't explode. They go nova. Gonna get real hot here on earth for a very long time.
And, it's 6 billion years.

Boy, you need better sources!

(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

about so I changed at the last second.

And they say Betelgeuse could blow in the next 100,000 years so better odds we'll see that one lol.

they know something damaging about their own person is coming out soon.

There are other strange occurrences as well, such as Melania canceling her trip with the Pres today, and even Pelosi's stuff with the 25th amendment a few weeks ago. Surely she knows what is going on before we all do, so maybe her and Pence were working in the background to take out the Pres if something happens to come to light.

I don't think there's anything more irritating to me at this point than yet another "__________is coming" teaser post.
Why even post this? You don't know what it's about, you don't even know if it's a real tip.

We've have been through the worst four years of our lives enduring a massively corrupt administration that never should have been installed to begin with. The "bombshell" or "earthquake" happened for many of us long before he was sworn in. He had me at the escalator.

For four years, we waited in vain for something, anything - and it all came. Any one of the myriad of scandals we have seen out of this shitshow would have brought down anyone else long ago. Face it, there is nothing that will change the minds of his supporters now - nothing; and nothing that will shock or disgust me about this clown anymore - nothing.

So now, with two weeks to go before the election, it's yet another "earthquake". I for one ain't quaking in my boots anymore. Just knock it off.

The OP has all the hallmarks of a freeper. Just signed up, a lot of posts, saying he
has a source, but gives no information. The fact that it's still up, is a sad day for DU.

238. My guess is that Trump is going to resign and leave the country.
Tue Oct 20, 2020, 05:23 PM

Trump has this strange compulsion to blurt out his true thoughts and intentions, i.e., say the quiet part out loud. I think this was the case when he told his supporters at a rally a few days ago that if he loses he might leave the country.

He might do it before the election simply because he knows he is going to lose and can . . . not . . . bear the idea of the idea of losing on such a grand scale. And also, he will leave the country to avoid prosecution for his many, many financial crimes.

but has this story gone anywhere, or did it turn into the big fat nothing that everyone predicted?

Many's the grandiose promise of comeuppance that failed to yield anything, and those of us who've been watching for a while can spot the signs from miles away.

How embarrassing for DU! What happened to objectivity on this board? This is the sort of thing I expect from Freeperville.

...too many Trumpists will just shrug it off as “business is business.”

Not that it shouldn’t be shocking, but financial stories don’t have the sex appeal for headlines like they should.

Has to get closer to a dead hooker/live boy category for it to be noticed.

of covid being airborne in February because it was mostly all blue states and cities who were infected/dying.

His red states were ok back then. His voters. That's murder 1

254. Trump's secret Chinese bank account was starting to drip today.

The bit of the Steele Dossier that said Trump wasn't that worried about people finding out about Russia but was a lot more worried about the China entanglements has always stood out to me.

And Mitch McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao are up to their necks in dirty money from China.

Maybe someone has found the slush fund in China where GOPers have been stashing their ill-gotten gains?
