But I also think he’ll be charged in DC for the documents too. So incoming indictments are:
DC for January 6
Georgia
New Jersey
DC for documents.

Lest we forget, Cheeto tried salvaging his re-election chances (and placating Nutty-yahoo) by doing his worst to provoke a war with Iran.

And almost succeeded.

Excellent and important point.
And oil—recall how he fed his base by insisting we should “take” Iraq’s oil? This notion in his twisted mind likely spilled over to Iran too. And his oil obsession was also evident in his first Secretary of State—former oil executive Rex Tillerson.

This attack plan was certainly one of the prized possessions of his demented obsession and scheme. He seems to have been infatuated with it.

We - and the world - were incredibly blessed to have Jabba-the-Trump defeated for re-election.

I go out of my way (block-site, privacy controls) to prevent random links from pulling in content that I don't agree to.

Most people just accept the default of their browsers. And most browsers are part of the commercial monetization of viewers (Apple/Safari, Microsoft/Edge/Bing, Google/Chrome).

I use Firefox since I have a lot of control over the privacy settings. And it is open-source.

But I had to add twitter.com to my uBlock Origin plugin in Firefox.

It really helps. It's amazing how much improved the internet is without incessant embedded tweets.

COUNT #32 looks to be the missing Milley plan to attack Iran that Trump got caught on tape bragging about to Meadows' biographers at his Bedminster Club. Strongly suggests DOJ has that doc now, and could charge in NJ as well.

He's a narcissist. He doesn't think the way we do. Chanes are excellent he was just showing off, grabbing attention.

The ones who worry me more are the people around him, especially whoever picked out what documents to take.

What he's been flaunting at his tawdry resorts pales on what he has been sending over the last 4-5 years to the enemies of the US and other democracies.

Saudi Arabia and its murderous self-appointed leaders are happy to see what trump said about the Israeli's, NATO, 5-Eyes, etc. And visa-versa.
