Remember what the Captain of the Titanic said, "Free Ice in Every Room."

Trump lost in 2016 by 3 million votes
Trump lost in 2020 by 8 million votes

If they want that Trump albatross around their necks go for it. He is toxic, a criminal,
just admitted to taking 8 million in bribes as President from our enemies, bat shit crazy,
and not liked by the majority of Americans.

The odds are very likely if he doesn’t flee the country Trump will wind up in some
kind of institution and broke from civil penalties and legal cost with all his businesses
shut down in N.Y. State.

Did you know that Stefanik is married to a gun humper?

His name is Matt Manda and he works for “The national shooting sports foundation”. AKA an
influence group for gun manufacturers aka they help spread death and bloodshed when their
products are used.

Words of wisdom from MSU's Tom Izzy:

“An ugly win is better than a pretty loss and we and I worked to make
the ugly … “. Very rough quote.

I just walked 2.5 miles in the newly fallen snow. It was heaven to me.

The snow was only 2 to 3 inches deep, the sun was out, it was about 18 degrees so it wasn’t
wet or slushy, and the fresh air was a tonic to my soul. 3 months in hospitals, rehab, and a
nursing home (my roommate is dying) can really be depressing.

The snow had ice crystals that sparkled like diamonds and I met a nice couple and their
dog on the path by the little Cuyahoga River we all laughed about the deadly dangerous
conditions that the TV weather folks keep talking about.

Btw the hike showed me that I still need to work on my balance and endurance but
considering that I almost died and had to learn to walk again less then a month ago
I am doing OK. And I didn’t fall too.

Attn: To all the people @ the March for Life Rally in D.C.

None of you will ever have to get an abortion especially the men but you have zero rights to tell
another woman what she can or cannot do and or you have zero rights to inflict your religion
and views on under age women too. Someday some of those people protesting might have
to get an abortion for medical, family, or emotional (rape or underage) needs.

One of the best things about DU is that smart people post here

and even if I might disagree with them in most cases they are respectful and put out
their thoughts logically. As I have posted before I am working my way back from being
close to death and now I am up and walking and ready to go back home and the intellectual
feed back as long as learning how to use a Mac laptop have been a gift to my crazy ass
brain and my rehabilitation.

Thank You!

Back home in under 2 weeks. I can’t wait to cook my own meals, see friends and neighbors,
and have my 110 pound lab animal snuggle with me.

Sorry to

Judge Kaplan to Trump's parking lot lawyer Habba. Sit down and shut up. A thing of beauty.

Habba, But my client has to choose between attending his mother in law’s funeral …..

Judge Kaplan, I have made my ruling. Sit down.

Hanna, I don’t like to be spoken to that way. Please refrain. I’m asking for an adjournment for
a funeral.

Judge Kaplan, I have made my ruling. Sit down.

********
A few days ago Judge Kaplan told Trump’s lawyers that his rulings were the law in his court.
The Judge has already put on record that Trump had already scheduled other events
on the day of his mother in law’s funeral and in so implying that the funeral couldn’t be that
important to Trump in a previous ruling.

Sec. Austin's aid did a good job and the right thing. He had his boss's back and

… protected his privacy. The Sec. of Defense has rights too and the person who was at
his house and called 9 11 understood that. The Sec. has earned some leeway after a
lifetime of service to America and as far as I can tell the chain of command and or
the readiness of the U.S. Military suffered any damage because of Sec. Austin’s medical
issues

Austin’s man on the spot.

The President should have had better knowledge of the
situation but he will stick by his friend because he can look @ the big picture and
understand what needs to be done.

Btw I think Defense Secretary Austin is back @ home and is starting to do some work for
America …. Mission Driven.

Trump this am in the E Jean Carroll penalty case as he was sitting in the court room posted this

Can you believe that I have to answer to this woman’s false stories? Very rough quote posted on truth social. From Raw story.

Doesn’t this violate the judges orders? Can this be subject for greater civil penalties or does it
this violate the judge’s orders on his behavior in court? Or is posting on social media in court not
covered by the judge’s rulings about his behavior?
