What Amazes Me How All The Talking Heads That Were Predicting Tr**p's Demise Today.......

have pivoted so fast and are now saying that all along the $464 bond was too high and it was to be expected that it would be reduced in Tr**p's favor.

Somehow these talking heads need to position themselves on both sides of the fence - so they save face and still keep their jobs as experts. Now we'll be able to watch them back-pedal on their previous predictions - so they could still look and sound like experts.

All along I was expecting that somehow Tr**p would survive this crisis and come up with some sort of Hail Mary solution for his problems.

They are saying that he still has a staggering burden on him - but somehow the wagons keep circling around this criminal and he squeaks by.

I'm still leaning on how he and the Repugs will somehow - cheat, lie and steal the election in Nov and Tr**p absolves himself of all of this.

The stakes are just so high for all sides in this - what I call a battle for the Democracy of our Country and accountability for Tr**p .

Here's Another Example Of 'Shrinkflation'.......

I notice that recently - we've been going through more 'toilet paper' at our house lately.

Seeing that we didn't change our eating habits or develop some sort of GI problem - I was suspect.

Then the other day - as we ran out of one roll of paper - I had to put a new roll on the dispenser.

What I found out was that - the cardboard tube that the paper is rolled around - expanded in size. It had a much wider diameter than in the past.

So bottom line - what has happened is that what the toilet paper manufacturer did was - expand the diameter of the cardboard tube - so they could put less paper on the roll and still have the roll look like it previously did with the original tube.

They are still able put together a package of multiple rolls that look like they always did - but they are now able to get away with using less actual toilet paper per package.

And guess what - they increased the price of the new - expanded cardboard tube - toilet paper multiple roll package.

Bottom line we are paying more for less toilet paper than in the past.

And that's why we're having to buy more packages of toilet paper than in the past.

Now I'm not sure if this is - all toilet paper manufacturers doing this. I been buying my packages of toilet paper at Aldi's. That's where I came across this.

I'm thinking that if this has happened in toilet paper - we will begin to see the same trend on any rolled paper products - like hand towels; aluminum foil; plastic wrap, parchment paper and wax paper.

So next time you are in the market for buying these products - take the time to check out if you are paying more for less of any of these products.

Last Night As I Listened To Lawrence He Talked About Additional Civil Suits Against.....

Tr**p. I know that Eric Sawell was on and supposedly has a civil lawsuit against Tr**p and the Capitol Police have civil lawsuits against Tr**p. My understanding is that these suits are a result of the J6 insurrection and the injuries and trauma inflicted upon them as a result of Tr**p inciting the insurrection and sending the people up to the Capitol.

This led me to thinking - can the people that were incited by Tr**p and sent to the Capitol and ultimately may have been injured or jailed as a result of this insurrection incited by Tr**p - serve a civil lawsuit against Tr**p?

I can imagine that some of them can make a case for themselves that because Tr**p incited the insurrection and they were swept up in the emotion of the crowd - that in some respects they were subject to Tr**p's incitement rhetoric.

Am I stretching things here or do some of these people that went to the Capitol on J6 have a case here?

When Tr**p Sells His Golden Sneakers, Trading Cards, Cologne's & Other Crap......

Does he have to charge the buyers sales tax?

Is he selling this crap as a campaign item or as a Tr**p business item?

Does he have to pay the government taxes on the money he gets from his sales take?

Does TSF Have His Own Security Force Or.....

does he rely on the Secret Service? If he relies on the SS - does he trust them?
Did they have to sign a loyalty oath to him?

Seeing That Tr**p Has All These Indictments Against Him & He's Involved In Many.....

shady activities and he's desperate for money to pay his bond I would imagine there is all kinds of activity around him where he's engaging in contact with many individuals (some of which might be shady themselves). As a result I have the following question(s):

Is the DOJ, the SEC or any other governmental legal agencies - perhaps listening in or tapping his phone calls and contacts with any of these entities?

Wouldn't he be wary of who he talks to and what he says when he's engaged in working his way through these legal problems he has - for fear that he's being listened to?

Wouldn't the people that he talks to be concerned that they would be drawn into any of his illegal schemes and be drawn into involvement of potential illegal activities? Couldn't they actually be implicated along with him for conspiring with him?

I guess I would think that Tr**p has a big spotlight on anything he does and that the law would be monitoring his activities.

Now I know - the conversations that he has with his lawyers and legal team is protected. But what about his dealing with anyone outside of his legal team?

Case in point:
- how he's manipulated taking over the RNC.
- this deal he has going with a shell company and Truth Social
- any contact he might be having with any of his minions that helped and facilitated in the J6 insurrection
- conspiring with Repugs in the House & Senate (example: killing the border bill)
etc, etc, etc

What Happens To Ivana Tr**p's Gravesite - It Tr**p's Golf Course Is Taken From Him.....

Will they leave the gravesite there or will they have to dig it up and bury her somewhere else?

I Would Think All Along That Tr**p - As He Claims He's Innocent In All These Lawsuits........

would not want to delay any of them - and face them - and get exonerated from them.

That way he would be clear to run for the presidency without having them hanging over him through the election.

The fact that he uses the 'delay tactic' in every case - to me - says that he knows that he is guilty in all cases and is just throwing a 'hail mary' pass - hoping he gets elected and can wave them away - when inaugurated.

I know that if I was accused of something - I'd want to clear my name as soon as possible - and prove my innocence.

Someone Needs To Ask Little Marco If He Gets To Be VP - If He's.....

willing to go along with any of Tr**p's shenanagans - like the 'fake elector scheme' that almost got Pence hanged?

In Tr**p's Fight For Presidential Immunity - Has Anybody Suggested To Him That His Fighting For This.....

would allow Joe Biden - who is the current President - to jail or assassinate Tr**p - if he -Tr**p wins this argument in the Supreme Court?

I'd be curious to see how Tr**p or any of his lawyers would try and answer that question.
