Make No Mistake, This Is Not An Attack On Chris Wray

In the history of the FBI, every Director has been a Republican. Christopher Wray is not only a Republican, he is a member of the Federalist Society. There is no more Republican party, it is the Donald Trump Magat party.

No, make no mistake, House Magats are not attacking Christopher Wray, they are attacking our institutions with the sole intention of bringing an end to our democracy.

Right wing extremists cannot survive in a democracy, they must overthrow our present form of government to attain minority rule.

Why It Is So Important To Put Trump On Trial Pre-Election

Time matters dammit. The American people need to be shown the threat that Trump poses to our national security. This has nothing to do with politics, it has everything to do with our democracy and our national security.

Dammit I wish that Garland had appointed Smith sooner, since it will be a stretch now for a trial to happen before the election.

Trump may have the Magat nomination all but locked up by March and scheduling a Trump trial would certainly be a partisan event in Magatland. I guess DOJ only has 2 years to indict and convict someone who decides to run for president.

Donald Trump is too dangerous to be allowed near the Oval Office, waiting for more Democrats to call Trump out as a threat to our national security, the MSM won't do it, Democrats need to seek out microphones.

Trump Using Nata To Delay His Trial Date

Say what you want about Trump being stupid but his delay strategy may be working once again. It has been almost 1 month since the Trump/Nauta indictments and no procedural hearings have been held yet. Nata's lawyer, Woodward is asking for an indefinite delay because he is involved in another trial. Woodward has defied judge Cannon's order to be prepared at any time. Woodward has not even filled out a form that must be done first before he can get a temporary security clearance to be able to view the classified documents, he was told 3 weeks ago.

Meanwhile Trump is going about doing what he must do to not go to jail, poison the jury pool. Trump knows he has been caught dead to rights, he will never be found not guilty, so he is delaying his trial as long as he can so that he can better make his argument that Smith and Garland are on a political witch hunt. The Iowa caucus is this January, by March Trump could be the Magat nominee for president. Did I mention that Trump got his favorite judge to preside over his case?

It appears the first delay may only be 4 days, but there will be more requests for delays by Trump's and Nauta's lawyers, how will judge Cannon respond?

Time Matters. Fani Willis may get Trump to trial before Jack Smith and it appears she may be running a RICO prosecution. Go Fani.

Remember, Trump's strategy has always been to delay everything. GOTV people.

Ukraine/Biden Preserved Our Democracy

Putin didn't just invade Ukraine to annex it to Russia. Putin's bigger goal was to end democracy in the United States. With the #1 democratic form of government destroyed, other democracies would fold.

Just take a second to imagine what would have happened if Russia had taken control of Kyiv in 3 days, had killed or imprisoned Zelinsky? What if Zelinsky had left Ukraine that first day? What would have happened had not President Biden taken charge and kept NATO and our allies united? I am asking what would have happened in the United States?

The new Magat party had accepted money from Russia, the Magat party had many of its leaders aligned with Russia, even made trips to Russia on the 4th of July. There are several right wing domestic oligarchs who have been trying to bring down our democracy.

The fall of Ukraine would be blamed squarely on President Biden and the Democratic party. The right wing MSM would be complicit in blaming Democrats. The MSM would push the narrative that former president Trump would never have allowed Ukraine to fall to Russia.

T-shirts were printed up for the unwashed Magats, "I'd Rather Be Russian Than A Democrat."

The new Magat party is a minority party, it cannot survive in a democratic form of government.

Thank you Ukraine, thank you president Biden for "preserving" our democracy. Our democracy has only been preserved, we need to vote out the pro-Putin Magats who will never stop trying to end our democracy. GOTV.

Opinion: Will Trump's Trial Happen In December?

Jack Smith made a smart move moving the trial back to December to give time to work out the details for handling the classified documents.

However, I have seen the right wing narrative started that it will take a year just to work out those details. That narrative is total BS, there is plenty of time to work things out by December.

Will judge Cannon hold to the December trial date? I am a half empty guy when it comes to holding Trump accountable, I think Cannon will delay the trial past the election.

Talk me out of it. Time has always mattered; delay has always been Trump's strategy.

Nicolle Is Taking It To Weissmann and van Grack.

I got my fix back, Nicolle is back. She is pushing back about how DOJ and the FBI treated Trump, she is yelling that Trump was treated with kid gloves, regarding the stolen documents.
Coming up next after commercial.

Pete Strzok's Lawsuit.

Strzok had filed a lawsuit asking for back pay and reinstatement to the FBI. Strzok claims he was improperly fired at the direction of Donald Trump. Christopher Wray has given a deposition and Strzok wants Trump to give a deposition. Enter DOJ: DOJ is asking the judge to block Trump from being deposed, interesting, No?

Why People Vote Against Their Own Best Interests

I tell people that the #1 thing I got out of college was not to believe everything I see on TV, listen on the radio, or read in print, I now can add, or see on the internet. What I am getting at is logic and critical thinking.

People can be made to believe anything, most people here believe that a fence is a wall. Some very intelligent people go to great lengths to devise propaganda that people will swallow.

Look at the example of what Orson Welles did back in 1938, around Halloween. He did his episode of War of the Worlds on the radio where he described the United States being invaded by Martians, with death rays and the works. Welles even tried to put out disclaimers but once the panic started it was fueled by the media who actually helped inflame the hysteria.

People can be made to believe anything. Today's world of propaganda has gotten so much more sophisticated than back in 1938,

Click on the summary of War of the Worlds that I have provided from Wiki; it is a very interesting short read,

Bah humbug I posted the wrong link.

For Those Of You Who Post "The Hill" Articles

I throw shade at "The Hill" all of the time here. The right wing rag that John Solomon used to work for.

Well, on my home page I saw an article from yesterday from The Hill that suggested that President Biden may be in jail before Donald Trump because of his shady dealings with Hunter. I just skimmed the article, and I never click on "The Hill"" links when they are cited here.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I am not as familiar with Business Insider, but it seems to push Magat talking points also.

How Can Donald Trump Not Be Our Nation's Worst President

I mean the damage he has done to our country in 4 years, that we are aware of, is astounding.

He is a Putin puppet, he most likely sold out our nation's top secrets, he most likely is still selling them.

He has damaged our institutions by putting his cronies into positions of power.

He has convinced 30% of Americans to be anti-democracy, to be anti-establishment, to be anti-government.

He has taken control of the Republican party and morphed it into his image.

He brought Naziism, bigotry, misogyny, anti-Semitism, anti -LBTGQ, racism, out of the shadows and into the mainstream.

Our democratic form of government hangs by a thread today because of this evil man.

Donald Trump is #1, the worst president ever, and that's just what we know about him.
