When did this happen?
Obviously, we know that the filthBI had the bomber's cell phone info, therefore knowing who he or ze was - but I hadn't heard that someone fessed up to anything, or beans got spilled.
Trump should not be re-elected.
Trump has not demonstrated that he learned one lesson from the coup against him.
In 2020, Trump was beaten primarily by ballot harvesting, which is legal. Trump did nothing before the 2 special elections in Georgia to shine the light on it.
When Democrats oppose something that is legal, they expose it, demagogue it, slander it and make it as unpalatable as possible.
Trump did not do this.
Trump then endorsed Ronna McDaniel to remain head of the GOP
In 2022, Trump supported awful candidates in the primary and general election. Many who were even worse than RINOs (like Dr Oz).
Facing awful Democrat majorities led by a POTUS with the lowest approval rating on record, 50 year high inflation, new wars, the Afghanistan debacle, etc should have meant a massive red wave.
But because Trump and his chosen leaders (McDaniel) did not do anything differently, the GOP lost the midterm elections in the most humiliating manner.
The 2022 Special Election in Georgia was lost again.
Then, Trump endorses Kevin McCarthy to be Speaker, the RINO leader.
Before the 2022 embarrassment (led by Trump and his people) Trump attacks DeSantis for no reason. Regardless what you think of DeSantis, this broke Reagan's cardinal rule....especially in the days before an election where party unity is key.
To this date, Trump has not spoken out about ballot harvesting or laid out a strategy to combat the activity, expose it to the pubic and smear it as basically push polling with real ballots.
Now, before the Trump butt-lickers come here and accuse me of being a DeSantis supporter or whatever name they use because they do not have the intellectual capacity to defend Trump's indefensible actions that show ZERO change in course even though our elections are completely different than they were in 2016, let me say that I have no GOP candidate for 2024 now. If one emerges with a strategy to combat ballot harvesting, that is who will get my support because until we start winning elections at the state level, we will not be able to change the laws that allow ballot harvesting.
Good article. I have noticed the deep states ability to instantly shape public opinion also.
I’m also starting to become concerned about AI and maybe group behavior modeling made possible by these social media companies. They hoover up everything we give them (likes, right-swipes, location and mountains of other data from cell phones and web browsing, loyalty programs). It’s known that pattern of life of an individual is pretty accurate. Who says they cant aggregate those to predict how a group will behave to a stimulus? Like stealing an election, for example.
Then ask AI how to mitigate negative responses. Or just hand the keys to social media to ChatGPU and let it drive the train.
Yeah, I have a whole lot of tinfoil in my house.
What? The FBI is corrupt???? Tell me it isn’t so!
A truly mind blowing piece, where you touch on almost all the various evils facing us in the coming year. However, I can’t agree with you that Trump’s re-election should be our focus, or best plan, going forward, if that was the conclusion of the article.
First, whether his heart is in the right place or not, he got played by the deep state, on the issues that mattered the most, over and over and over. You mentioned some of the names that stabbed him in the back, but the truth is almost no one he appointed was of much help, and his endorsements included McConnell, Romney and the like.
Second, he’s about 80 years old, has been triple vaxed, and is facing possible jail time, or worse case even assassination. I say none of that with glee, but with the realization any help he can provide would likely only be temporary, and we need a long term plan other than just leave it to Trump. Especially two years out from the election, much less a four year term after that.
So while Trump seems incapable of thinking beyond Trump, his supporters shouldn’t be so limited in their own thoughts about our future. We will, and must, one day go on without him, possibly soon. Even if Trump is to become our President again, he needs some tough love and constructive criticism from his base more than he needs rock star idolization, which is unfortunately what he craves, and is often given.
As I said I don’t know if you meant for the re-election of Trump to be the conclusion of your otherwise great piece, or just a single suggestion of something that might help, but it’s going to take a lot more than just one man to straighten out this mess we’re in, especially when you acknowledge that some of the things that Trump did were what actually led to the mess, and the people he chose his first time around actually made things worse.
Happy New Year!
Sadly the Republic has been lost . May we die like men Lord ?
