Donald Trump Is Banned from 37 Countries as Convicted Felon, Including Major Allies Like Canada and U.K.
If elected president again, Trump would need special permission to enter several key countries for maintaining foreign relations
By Kyler Alvord Updated on June 3, 2024 03:20PM EDT
Donald Trump may face travel restrictions with his newfound felon status, potentially complicating his presidency if he were to win another term in office.
Thirty-eight nations, counting the United States, bar felons from entry, according to World Population Review. Those bans stand regardless of whether someone is allowed to retain their passport after conviction.
Countries that turn felons away include several of the United States' strongest allies, like the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada — the final of which will host the G7 summit of world leaders in 2025. The list also includes a number of nations at the center of pressing foreign policy issues, such as China, Israel and Mexico.

International governments can, and in some cases would, choose to make an exception for Trump if he requested special permission as president to make a visit.
George W. Bush, who was arrested for drunk driving in the 1970s, ran into issues with Canadian travel restrictions during his presidency while planning an official state visit and, after applying for a special waiver, he was ultimately allowed to enter.
In Bush's case, which still proved tedious, the circumstances were a bit different: the crime happened decades earlier, was only categorized as a misdemeanor and was never tried in a court of law (Bush admitted to driving under the influence upon arrest and got off with a fine and temporary license suspension). It's hard to say whether Trump's new 34 felony convictions would be dealt with in a similar manner.
If Trump were elected to another term in the White House and chose to apply for special travel waivers, the irony would not go unnoticed.
The former president has often characterized foreigners as "criminals," and has campaigned on a promise to tighten U.S. travel restrictions, which would include shutting down the border and instating travel bans on people of certain nationalities and ideologies.

Trump and Harris shake hands

What happens when a former president whose own niece has diagnosed him as a “narcissist” is declared the loser of a crucial debate that could make or break the 2024 presidential election?
He declares himself the winner.
“Comrade Kamala Harris is going around wanting another Debate because she lost so badly - Just look at the Polls! It’s true with prizefighters, when they lose a fight, they immediately want another. MAGA2024,” Donald Trump posted on his own social media platform. He cited a far-right Newsmax snap poll conducted after the debate that declared Trump the winner over Harris by 93 percent to 6 percent.
The former president’s alternate reality conflicts with that of others, including his current and former GOP allies who said he blew it on stage Tuesday night against Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Even Elon Musk agreed that Harris “exceeded most people’s expectations.”
The conservative aggregation site, the Drudge Report, declared: “The End.” Republican spinmeisters in the debate spin room in Philadelphia couldn’t sugarcoat the situation.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a golf buddy and close ally of Trump, said the performance by the leader of his party on Tuesday night was a “disaster.” He told reporters in the spin room after the debate that Trump’s debate prep team should be fired.
Republicans on Capitol Hill were downright depressed. “I’m just sad,” one House Republican Trump ally told The Hill. “She knew exactly where to cut to get under his skin." The GOP lawmaker added: “The road just got very narrow" and said, “This is not good.”
Fox News’ Brit Hume said, “Look, make no mistake about it, Trump had a bad night. He rose to the bait repeatedly when she baited him, something I am sure his advisors had begged him not to do.”
A CNN snap poll declared Harris the winner, 63 percent to 37 percent. Going into the debate, 50 percent of those same respondents thought Harris would win, while the other half predicted a victory for Trump.
A Harris campaign official said the vice president won big among battleground undecided voters on the issue of race, according to their post-debate unofficial polling. “Vice President Harris’ response to Trump’s racial comments, where she said there is more that unites Americans than divides us, is the strongest moment of the night for her,” the official said. “Strong with both men and women.”
Harris has been doing well among women voters, polling shows. Male voters are a target demographic she needs to win over.

Gif of Kamala Harris's reactions during presidential debate
Whether emasculated by her summation of his crowd size, rattled by Harris’ unexpected handshake that she offered as she strolled onto the stage or simply unprepared, Trump was incoherent and visibly unhinged at times during the course of the 90-minute debate, espousing bizarre, unfounded conspiracy theories about immigrants in Ohio stealing and eating domesticated pets (kittens, dogs and ducks).
“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats,” Trump said at one point, “they’re eating the pets of the people that live there.”
“Oh come on,” Harris appeared to say as her mic was muted, visibly outraged.
ABC News debate moderator David Muir corrected Trump, saying the city manager of Springfield, Ohio, said there were no “credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.”
Trump former ally and debate tutor Chris Christie, the former governor of New Jersey, praised Harris’ performance and said Trump “spent more time talking about people eating pets, people at his rallies and whether he had more or less, than he did about the economy and that is a huge fail tonight.” Christie said on ABC News’ special coverage that Harris “laid traps and he chased every rabbit down every hole instead of talking about the things that he should have been talking about.”
CNN host Chris Wallace said Tuesday’s debate was “just as devastating” for Trump as the one between the former president and Joe Biden in June, when Trump won and Biden was forced to bail out of his race for re-election. On Tuesday, it was Trump who lost, Wallace said. “On substance I think she pitched a shutout, and I think she did on style as well,” said Wallace, who moderated a 2016 debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Jon Ralston, a veteran political campaign reporter and commentator in Las Vegas, declared “Harris crushed Trump” but said he had no idea how her debate victory will affect the outcome of the election.

The Infrastructure Bill and the Chips and Science Bill are both job stimulating Bills that will impact the country positively for decades. The stock market, GDP, new job creation, low unemployment and looming interest rate cuts are hardly the shit show that Trump tries to depict them as. The reactions to the debate undermine your bleak take on Harris.
It's much more than you can say in support of Trump. He had his fat ass handed to him last night.
No, it's not and you know that it's not credible. Bet that as polls roll out that the take below will be the one replicated by most of them.
She ate him for lunch, denying Putin that unappetizing repast.
Kamala Harris Trounced Donald Trump in Debate: Flash Poll
Source: Newsweek
https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/11/politics/election-poll-trump-harris-debate/index.html
CNN conducted an instant poll following Tuesday night's presidential debate that suggested Harris won the discussion, with 63 percent pointing toward her success.
The poll has a 5.4 percent margin of error, and it suggests that only 37 percent of debate watchers believed former President Donald Trump won the first—and potentially only—nominee meet-up.
"This is a complete reversal from what we saw in June," CNN political director David Chalian said. "It was 67 percent to 33 percent, two-thirds thinking Trump won, only one-third thinking Biden won. A complete reversal."
Harris was trailing Trump in favorability 39 percent to 41 percent prior to the debate, according to CNN. After tonight's discussions, CNN now shows her at 45 percent favorability and Trump at 39 percent.

In Debate With Trump, Harris’s Expressions Were a Weapon
Tuesday’s debate was expected to center on defining Kamala Harris. Instead, with words and with body language, she turned it into a referendum on Donald Trump.

She turned to him with an arched brow. A quiet sigh. A hand on her chin. A laugh. A pitiful glance. A dismissive shake of her head.
From the opening moments of her first debate against Donald J. Trump, Kamala Harris craftily exploited her opponent’s biggest weakness.
Not his record. Not his divisive policies. Not his history of inflammatory statements.
Instead, she took aim at a far more primal part of him: his ego.
At his rallies, on his sycophantic social media network and surrounded by flatterers at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump is unquestioned, unchallenged and never ever mocked.
That changed over the course of 90 minutes in Philadelphia on Tuesday, when the woman who had never before met him succeeded, bit by bit, in puncturing his comfortable cocoon and triggering his annoyance and anger.
Ms. Harris questioned the size and loyalty of the crowds at his rallies. She said world leaders call him a “disgrace.” And she claimed his fortune was built by his father, recasting a business mogul who proudly boasts of being a self-made man as just another nepotism baby.
Then she stood by and watched, as Mr. Trump did himself a whole lot of damage.
In answer after answer, the former president reminded Americans of his role in so much of what many would rather forget: the deadly and devastating pandemic, his refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election, a bloody siege on the U.S. Capitol and the fall of Roe v. Wade. He lingered on his criminal charges and praised Viktor Orban, the strongman leader of Hungary. He defended a false claim that migrants in Ohio are eating their neighbors’ dogs and cats and recycled years-old anti-abortion attack lines that Democrats supported “execution after birth.”
In such a fractured and polarized country, it remains unclear how the lopsided debate may alter the 2024 presidential race. But the immediate reaction was telling: Mr. Trump led Republicans in attacking the moderators — the debate was “three-on-one,” he complained — while Democrats notched perhaps the most important endorsement of the election cycle with Taylor Swift.
“He is so easy to trigger,” Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, a Harris ally, said in the post-debate spin room.
Since her head-spinning ascension to the Democratic ticket in July, Ms. Harris has faced a race focused on her record, history and shifts in positions. But from the moment she crossed the stage to shake Mr. Trump’s hand, the Democratic presidential nominee made clear her intention to transform a night expected to be about her into a referendum on him.
She displayed a composure and tactical restraint that was palpable through the television screen. Equally palpable was his fury, which at times seemed to make him unable to even look at his opponent.
“She’s a Marxist — everybody knows she’s a Marxist,” Mr. Trump said when Ms. Harris accused him of coddling China during the coronavirus pandemic. “Her father is a Marxist professor in economics, and he taught her well.”
Ms. Harris looked at him with a condescending smile, performatively leaning in to hear more. He’s the former reality television star, but she clearly understood the power of the medium. Her expression was her rebuttal. And when her turn to speak came, she focused not on rebutting the attacks on her character and ideology, but on the far more politically potent issue of abortion rights.
Mr. Trump, she charged, would ban abortion nationwide and monitor women’s pregnancies to ensure they carried the baby to term. Already, current restrictions in some states, she told viewers, make no exceptions for victims of rape or incest.
“That is immoral and one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government and Donald Trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body,” she said.
Instead of attacking Mr. Trump as an existential threat to democracy, as President Biden so often did, Ms. Harris invited voters to judge the former president for themselves. She urged them to attend one of his campaign events, hear his references to “fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter” and his claims that “windmills cause cancer,” and watch his followers leave early.
“The one thing you will not hear him talk about is you,” she said into the camera. “You will not hear him talk about your needs, your dreams and your desires, and I’ll tell you, I believe you deserve a president who actually puts you first, and I pledge to you that I will.”
Mr. Trump quickly responded, but not to dispute her criticism that he was not tuned into voters’ needs. Instead, he defended his crowds.
“People don’t leave my rallies,” Mr. Trump said. “We have the biggest rallies, the most incredible rallies in the history of politics.”
By the end of the debate, Ms. Harris turned one of the worst moments of the Biden presidency — the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan — into an attack on Mr. Trump, saying he “negotiated one of the weakest deals you can imagine” with the Taliban and invited its leaders to Camp David.
Even Mr. Trump’s allies grudgingly admitted the Harris strategy of trying to knock Mr. Trump off-balance was effective.
“She spent 90 minutes attacking Donald Trump, trying to get under his skin, to do everything to get away from her record as vice president of the United States,” Representative Byron Donalds of Florida said. “He defended himself like any human being would.”
In recent weeks, as the burst of enthusiasm around Ms. Harris’s candidacy has tempered, the questions about her policy positions and plans have grown. Very few were answered Tuesday night.
Aside from immigration, Mr. Trump did not effectively attack her over high costs of living. His attempts to paint her as a flip-flopper on energy policy and other key issues, and as too liberal for voters in swing states, largely failed to gain traction amid his focus on re-litigating old grievances.
Instead, Ms. Harris used the opportunity to explicitly appeal to the moderate voters and anti-Trump Republicans who helped deliver the White House to Mr. Biden in 2020. It’s a group Ms. Harris has struggled to win by the same margin and one that could, once again, play a decisive role in November.
As the governors, senators, activists and political gadflies spun his performance in the post-debate spin room, a surprise guest suddenly appeared and was swarmed by more than 100 journalists.
It was Donald Trump. Presidential candidates rarely — if ever — spin their own performances in the minutes after exiting the stage. But Mr. Trump couldn’t let it go.
“It was,” he said, “my best debate ever.”

In answer after answer, the former president reminded Americans of his role in so much of what many would rather forget: the deadly and devastating pandemic, his refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election, a bloody siege on the U.S. Capitol and the fall of Roe v. Wade. He lingered on his criminal charges and praised Viktor Orban, the strongman leader of Hungary. He defended a false claim that migrants in Ohio are eating their neighbors’ dogs and cats and recycled years-old anti-abortion attack lines that Democrats supported “execution after birth.”
In such a fractured and polarized country, it remains unclear how the lopsided debate may alter the 2024 presidential race. But the immediate reaction was telling: Mr. Trump led Republicans in attacking the moderators — the debate was “three-on-one,” he complained — while Democrats notched perhaps the most important endorsement of the election cycle with Taylor Swift.
“He is so easy to trigger,” Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, a Harris ally, said in the post-debate spin room.
Since her head-spinning ascension to the Democratic ticket in July, Ms. Harris has faced a race focused on her record, history and shifts in positions. But from the moment she crossed the stage to shake Mr. Trump’s hand, the Democratic presidential nominee made clear her intention to transform a night expected to be about her into a referendum on him.
She displayed a composure and tactical restraint that was palpable through the television screen. Equally palpable was his fury, which at times seemed to make him unable to even look at his opponent.
“She’s a Marxist — everybody knows she’s a Marxist,” Mr. Trump said when Ms. Harris accused him of coddling China during the coronavirus pandemic. “Her father is a Marxist professor in economics, and he taught her well.”
Ms. Harris looked at him with a condescending smile, performatively leaning in to hear more. He’s the former reality television star, but she clearly understood the power of the medium. Her expression was her rebuttal. And when her turn to speak came, she focused not on rebutting the attacks on her character and ideology, but on the far more politically potent issue of abortion rights.
Mr. Trump, she charged, would ban abortion nationwide and monitor women’s pregnancies to ensure they carried the baby to term. Already, current restrictions in some states, she told viewers, make no exceptions for victims of rape or incest.
“That is immoral and one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government and Donald Trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body,” she said.
Instead of attacking Mr. Trump as an existential threat to democracy, as President Biden so often did, Ms. Harris invited voters to judge the former president for themselves. She urged them to attend one of his campaign events, hear his references to “fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter” and his claims that “windmills cause cancer,” and watch his followers leave early.
“The one thing you will not hear him talk about is you,” she said into the camera. “You will not hear him talk about your needs, your dreams and your desires, and I’ll tell you, I believe you deserve a president who actually puts you first, and I pledge to you that I will.”
Mr. Trump quickly responded, but not to dispute her criticism that he was not tuned into voters’ needs. Instead, he defended his crowds.
“People don’t leave my rallies,” Mr. Trump said. “We have the biggest rallies, the most incredible rallies in the history of politics.”
By the end of the debate, Ms. Harris turned one of the worst moments of the Biden presidency — the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan — into an attack on Mr. Trump, saying he “negotiated one of the weakest deals you can imagine” with the Taliban and invited its leaders to Camp David.
Even Mr. Trump’s allies grudgingly admitted the Harris strategy of trying to knock Mr. Trump off-balance was effective.
“She spent 90 minutes attacking Donald Trump, trying to get under his skin, to do everything to get away from her record as vice president of the United States,” Representative Byron Donalds of Florida said. “He defended himself like any human being would.”
In recent weeks, as the burst of enthusiasm around Ms. Harris’s candidacy has tempered, the questions about her policy positions and plans have grown. Very few were answered Tuesday night.
Aside from immigration, Mr. Trump did not effectively attack her over high costs of living. His attempts to paint her as a flip-flopper on energy policy and other key issues, and as too liberal for voters in swing states, largely failed to gain traction amid his focus on re-litigating old grievances.
Instead, Ms. Harris used the opportunity to explicitly appeal to the moderate voters and anti-Trump Republicans who helped deliver the White House to Mr. Biden in 2020. It’s a group Ms. Harris has struggled to win by the same margin and one that could, once again, play a decisive role in November.
As the governors, senators, activists and political gadflies spun his performance in the post-debate spin room, a surprise guest suddenly appeared and was swarmed by more than 100 journalists.
It was Donald Trump. Presidential candidates rarely — if ever — spin their own performances in the minutes after exiting the stage. But Mr. Trump couldn’t let it go.
“It was,” he said, “my best debate ever.”

In Debate With Trump, Harris’s Expressions Were a Weapon
Tuesday’s debate was expected to center on defining Kamala Harris. Instead, with words and with body language, she turned it into a referendum on Donald Trump.

She turned to him with an arched brow. A quiet sigh. A hand on her chin. A laugh. A pitiful glance. A dismissive shake of her head.
From the opening moments of her first debate against Donald J. Trump, Kamala Harris craftily exploited her opponent’s biggest weakness.
Not his record. Not his divisive policies. Not his history of inflammatory statements.
Instead, she took aim at a far more primal part of him: his ego.
At his rallies, on his sycophantic social media network and surrounded by flatterers at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump is unquestioned, unchallenged and never ever mocked.
That changed over the course of 90 minutes in Philadelphia on Tuesday, when the woman who had never before met him succeeded, bit by bit, in puncturing his comfortable cocoon and triggering his annoyance and anger.

Trolls flinch at the mention of that requirement. Perhaps because they know that the the likes of the Gateway Pundit, NY Post, Fox News, Newsmax, the Blaze, the Western Journal, the Natural News, the Daily Wire and..........Twitchy are not credible sources of information.

And you, as you have not established any credibility here need to include a link for all of your assertions.
Not shown is the closet with blowguns loaded with tranquillizers.
CONVICTED, 34 counts for criminally conspiring to conceal payoffs to a porn star during an election campaign.
The doc stealing case will be alive again shortly because the judge is an incompetent hack.
Sentencing delayed in defamation case for which he was also convicted.
And J6 case still alive too, you moral f'ing imbecile.
Hang ALL of that round a Dem candidate's neck and tell me how you'd come down on any/all it THEN.
And, and, where's the Cyber Ninjas? Oh, they found more votes for Biden in AZ.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Maricopa_County_presidential_ballot_audit
The auditors released a report in September 2021, finding no proof of fraud and that their ballot recount increased Biden's margin of victory by 360 votes.[9][10][11] County election officials released a final report in January 2022 finding that nearly all of the auditors' allegations of irregularities were false or misleading.
Pray for 'em and.....PLEASE Trumpanzees DO send them money too, you credulous election denying, insurrection supporting, treason weasel fucks; but DO save a little for what's coming.😏

If you believe in what we’ve accomplished and would like to help; I’d ask that you first start by committing to pray every day in this way. Listen to where the Lord would have you involved with action, and get stuff done. If He puts on your heart to help financially, I ask that you consider helping pay the debts Cyber Ninjas was not able to cover, by contributing to the GiveSendGo for StratTech, or by donating to CyFIR via Voices and Votes. With Cyber Ninjas closing these funds are going directly to the vendors, and not passing through us.

No, Fox News is THE most biased of them all. Your prediction is just like Trump's 'if we lose the election it was stolen'. It wasn't.
YOU can't guarantee jack shit about questions being provided to Harris, having pulled that lame assertion out of your equally lame ass.
You WISH that would be the excuse for Harris handing Trump his fat fartasourus ass.
Sloppy slapstick; no way she doesn't hear and feel the impact from the initial hit which would cause anyone/EVERYONE to drop the plank before turning around.
ABC News : VP Harris leads Trump 50-46% among all adults and registered voters alike, and 52-46% among likely voters, per latest @ABC News/Ipsos poll.
ABC News @ABC · 3h
Closer assessment shows movement to Harris in some groups when comparing all adults with likely voters.
The vice president numbers grew with women and Black voters, the poll found.
As previously reported, Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump by a slight 4 percentage points, 50-46%, among all adults and registered voters alike, and by 6 points, 52-46%, among likely voters in the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll. While those numbers are virtually identical, closer assessment shows movement to Harris in some groups when comparing all adults with likely voters -- notably, those younger than 40, younger women in particular and Black people.
This analysis, produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates, finds that support for Harris goes from 54% of all adults younger than 40 to 64% of those identified as likely voters. Trump's support, meanwhile, drops from 42% of adults in this age group to 33% of those likely to vote.
That shift is driven largely by women: Harris' support increases from 60% of all women younger than 40 to 73% of those in this age group who are likely to vote. Trump sees a corresponding drop in support, from 35% among all women younger than 40 to 24% of those likely to vote.
Harris has 82% support among all Black people, rising to 93% among those who are likely voters. Trump, for his part, goes from 15% support among all Black people to 7% among those who are likely to vote. Harris also gains among liberals.

Lard Is Back In The Larder, But Hold The Health Claims

Could you taste the lard in a freshly-baked crust?
Wait, we don't have to do this any more? What's a semiautomatic? MORE than 3 shots in a minute? What's a magazine? WTF is a school shooting?! Original intent, really? You think any of us saw any of that coming?
Somebody told us about Applebee's. Can we please get something to eat before our moment with you nut-jobs is up?
I treat it with the contempt that it deserves, demands.
It's a euphemism for 'not the sharpest knife in the drawer'.
Can AI identify low intelligence on opinion boards? (How I translated 'ulterior motives' as correlative with low intelligence in forming the question I put to ChatGPT.)
Long story short Chat declines to conclude 'low intelligence' as the cause of the bat shit posts our RW trolls plague us with. But they do accurately identify/confirm what we read and respond to. They are a kindred spirit and oh how they nail it, AND Trump. 😏
ChatGPT said:
AI can help analyze patterns in opinion boards and detect certain behaviors or characteristics that might be associated with lower-quality reasoning or limited cognitive complexity, but it cannot directly measure "intelligence" in the traditional sense. Intelligence is a complex, multi-dimensional trait involving reasoning, problem-solving, emotional understanding, and many other factors. AI doesn't have access to these deeper cognitive or emotional aspects directly, but here are a few ways it can provide insights:
Language Complexity: AI can assess the complexity of language used in posts, such as vocabulary range, sentence structure, and coherence. Simpler, repetitive language or logical fallacies could correlate with lower-quality reasoning, but not necessarily lower intelligence.
Logical Consistency: AI can evaluate whether arguments are logically sound or whether they contain contradictions, fallacies, or unsupported assertions. Poor logical consistency might indicate a lack of deeper thought or understanding of the topic.
Emotional or Reactionary Responses: AI can analyze sentiment to see whether someone responds more emotionally than logically. Reactionary or overly emotional posts without substantive argumentation could suggest a different level of engagement or reasoning.
Use of Evidence: AI could detect whether individuals back up their opinions with facts, data, or sources. Lack of evidence might suggest a weaker approach to critical thinking, though again, this does not directly translate to intelligence.
Pattern Recognition of Misinformation: If someone consistently repeats debunked claims or conspiracy theories, AI might flag this as a potential indicator of lower critical reasoning or susceptibility to misinformation.
That said, identifying "low intelligence" is highly subjective and ethically complex. AI can provide clues about the quality of engagement or the depth of thought but should avoid making deterministic judgments about intelligence. The goal of AI should be to improve the quality of discourse, not label individuals.
Some people EARN denigration, even lawful prosecution, when they actively work at undercutting democracy and at denying elections.

I went to Fox News looking for 'corroboration' that the guy IS the current DOJ Chief of Public Affairs. No story.
Did find this though, ON Fox News.

Allan Lichtman predicts Harris as 2024 winner because 'Democrats got smart' and did this
American University historian who predicted Trump’s 2016 win thinks Harris will be victorious

The American University historian who has correctly predicted the outcomes of nine of the last ten presidential elections tells Fox News Digital that the Democrats "finally got smart" by rallying around Kamala Harris as their candidate – and that is one of the reasons why he thinks she will be November’s winner.
The formula Allan Lichtman has used to correctly predict nearly every presidential race since 1984, his "Keys to the White House," was developed in 1981 with mathematician Vladimir Keilis-Borok and is based on their analysis of presidential elections dating back to 1860. The "keys" consist of 13 true or false questions, parameters that, if true, favor stability.
"The way it works is real simple. If six or more keys -- any six -- go against the White House party, they are predicted losers. Otherwise, they're predicted winners," Lichtman told Fox News Digital this week. "And by the way, this also led to a prediction of Donald Trump's win, which made me virtually alone in making that prediction in 2016."

Tell us the difference between reality and a fact of life. There isn't any, those are distinctions without a difference.
You make yourself sick through a shit education that exposes you to the deserved abuse you elicit here.
Now you tell me how fucking stupid does one have to be to refer to school shootings as a 'fake problem'?
That was in my post. Why did you leave it on your cherry tree?
Vance, who noted that the event was an “awful tragedy,” faced criticism in June for calling gun violence in schools a “fake problem” and called an attempt to ban bump stocks, used in the Las Vegas shooting that killed 60, a “huge distraction.”
Strange Bedfellows and Useful Idiots. And Some Third Thing, Probably.

So, this blog site went live exactly seven years ago today, aiming to chronicle the kookiness of the kakistocracy-curious creeps who’d infested my beloved country’s government. And after each and every post, my most fervent wish has been to run out of material, to turn y’all away with a mournful “Outside of a brief, largely courteous Wyden/Romney spat over public land use, nothing of note occurred this week, sorry.”
…well, maybe next time.
A lot has changed in those seven years. For instance, though it feels like ancient history nowadays, once upon a time, our political press believed an aging politician’s merest slip of the tongue merited days of breathless commentary; now, a visibly decomposing septuagenarian can yammer incoherently on the leading issues of the day, indeed, can belch up gibberish that’s barely discernible as English, with nary a mention in the morning paper.
Shoot, he can even forget who he’s running against, and not one single column demanding his immediate withdrawal from the race will appear! Silly rabbit, standards are for Democrats!
And sure, he took no questions at the latest “press conference” he duped the media into attending, opting instead to utilize their proffered platform to further defame and harass several of the women he’s sexually assaulted, but on the other hand, ethically and substantially equal in every way to the previously mentioned rapey hand, Kamala Harris appears to have flip-flopped on the issue of paper straws.
At said “press conference,” the preferred candidate of American evangelicals dismissed one of his many accusers, by saying, “She would not have been the chosen one.”
“The chosen one.”
(This space left blank to give the reader time to wipe the vomit off their keyboard/screen)
He won’t rape just anybody, y’know. You have to look more than a little like his daughter, (the hot one, not Tiffany) for a start. Then, you gotta pass a cognitive test. Yes, all of it, even the really tough bits, with the drawings of farm animals.
As this adjudicated rapist, this felon 34 times over, schleps and whines and sleep-farts his way from trial to trial, (congrats on the sentencing delay, by the way) it’s worth noting that one cop-killer whose sentence he commuted has already been convicted again, this time of assaulting his wife. Of course, you wouldn’t see shenanigans like that in a second Trump term, not under Attorney General Enrique Tarrio.
“Sometimes you need a strongman,” proclaimed the weakest man alive, retreating into his favorite fantasy, the one where Viktor Orbán swaddles him in a blanket, and whisks him away to his magical castle in Hungary, where dictators get the most ice cream scoops no matter what, and absolutely no prosecutors, special or otherwise, are allowed, enforced by a dragon.
Republican thoughts and prayers once again failed to prevent the latest school shooting, further evidence that they are idiots, despised by God.
It’s hard to blame Him. To JD Vance, all this eminently preventable carnage is merely a “fact of life,” so I guess the rest of the developed world is populated by some superior life form, one less willing to see its children butchered, if perhaps a trifle incapable of accurately evaluating the worth of Oasis tickets.
“Sure as the tide rolls in, kids who’ve already been investigated by the FBI for threatening a school shooting will receive semi-automatic rifles as Xmas gifts,” hectored JD, “Are we supposed to ban Santa Claus?”
Vance’s proposed solution? You guessed it, MORE GUNS in schools, only with ivermectin-laced bullets now, so the slaughtered children won’t have to worry about Covid, or worms. Because being death cult clergy means never having to say a single word that makes a lick of fucking sense.
The estate of Isaac Hayes joined the ever-lengthening list of entities to defeat the Dotard in court, though I suppose if you can’t even overturn one measly presidential election, what chance would you possibly have against Black Moses? And look, ABBA and Céline Dion wait in the wings, for their own turn with the paddle of copyright law.
Without the benefit of intellectual property protections, we may have to fall back upon constitutional provisions against cruel and unusual punishment to safeguard the public from Tom Petty-defiling RNC Chair Lara Trump’s latest single.
On the other hand, maybe if we feed it into these newfangled AI thingamajigs, it’ll short ‘em out from within. On the other other hand, that might be precisely the sort of thing that would lead a machine intelligence to determine humanity is a menace in immediate need of total eradication.
Melania’s got a memoir coming out, too. I was able to obtain an advance copy, and I think it might surprise you. The chapter where she discusses her husband’s brush with Covid-19 was particularly moving. All those long, lonely nights, listlessly perusing the prenup…riveting stuff.
Nick Fuentes doesn’t understand where it all went so wrong. His Turd Emperor told him they stole the 2020 election from him, and would a rapist who stole from charity and cheated on multiple wives and stiffed contractors and defrauded banks and insurers lie? I mean sure, he lied about crowd size and colluding with Russia and September 11th and the path of a hurricane, but would he lie about the integrity of our federal elections?
One wonders if falling for such a blatant con might lead young Nickward to question his belief in his own racial supremacy. Barring that, one wonders how to get in touch with him regarding the opportunities for profit Amway offers.
Furious indignation reverberated throughout the right-wing disinformation ecosystem, in the wake of revelations that many of MAGA media’s leading dipshits have been “unwittingly” operating as useful idiots for Vlad Putin’s murderous regime.
“WHERE’S MY CUT?” demanded Tulsi Gabbard. “I spread way more Kremlin propaganda,” whinged Candace Owens, “Besides, Tim Pool’s just gonna spend those rubles on beanies and waifu pillows!”“Tell Mr. Putin it would probably be easiest if he wrote the check directly to the Sandy Hook families I terrorized,” bleated Alex Jones.
Of course, it’s Pool, and Benny Johnson, and their ilk, who’re the Real Victims Here™️, according to a bunch of Republicans who’re definitely not sweating over the idea of DoJ looking into their own revenue streams. Sorry, Senator Rubio, “preexisting political opinions” aren’t covered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Golly, It’s getting so’s an enterprising young wingnut grifter can’t even engorge himself at the trough of a hostile foreign power. Why, mean ol’ Merrick even indicted Dimitri Simes, longtime advisor to Senator Rand Paul, and Individual One himself.
Tucker Carlson, having all but dissipated into irrelevancy, sat seething on the sofa, watching Jesse Watters diddle away his diligently indoctrinated prime time Fox audience on garden-variety MRA piffle about the inherent girlymanness of drinking a “vanilla ice cream shake” through a straw*, and knew he’d need a big, fat, dumb stunt to win back the attention of the rubes he lost in his acrimonious divorce from the Murdochs.
Enter Holocaust revisionist Darryl Cooper. Revisionist, rather than outright denialist, in that he believes the Holocaust happened, but that it was Churchill’s fault, for being such a meanie to Hitler, who only wanted everyone to have bunnies and cupcakes and hugs. (Much nicer than fuddy-duddy Winston’s blood, toil, tears, and sweat, I’m sure you’ll agree.)
Which is horseshit, of course, but if there’s one thing white supremacists love, it’s being lied to, (see Fuentes, Nick) especially about their loser movement’s loser history. And if you don’t believe me, I’ve got seven years’ worth of blog archives to prove it.
Anyway, Tucker definitely got the attention he wanted, so much so that JD Vance said, “Me next!” because he wanted to sit in the Hitler apologist’s chair while it was still warm. Also probably to sniff it, but I imagine they’ll edit that part out.
Terrible news, comrades! That damnable Ron Johnson uncovered the truth about our dastardly Deep State proto-Jade Helm known as the “Great Depression.” Ah, we were fools to believe we could ever slip anything past a genius of such caliber, particularly after he single-handedly unmasked our elaborate “pandemic” hoax.
An armed standoff between McDonald’s Truthers (who believe Kamala Harris never worked at McDonald’s) and Accent Truthers (who believe Kamala Harris uses a fake southern accent) thankfully ended without bloodshed, when the leaders of the two factions met face to face, and realized they were the Bundy brothers.
Seems North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson may have a few skeletons in his closet, though they are believed to be safely hidden behind the mountains of pornographic videocassettes, and the stolen Girl Scout cookies.
With Liz and Dick Cheney endorsing Vice President Harris, Team Rapist unveiled some defectors of their own: a few distant cousins of Tim Walz, take that, libtards! They may not be able to pass fifth grade English, but at least they got to meet Hulk Hogan. (UPDATE: it’s been brought to my attention that they did not actually get to meet Hulk Hogan. In my defense, I made that up.)
A fistfight broke out at a Saline County, Arkansas Republican Committee meeting, because these lil’ guys get crabby if you don’t let ‘em run around in the yard, maybe violently disrupt a government proceeding now and then. You’re lucky they didn’t shit on the floor.
Okay, I’m off to celebrate my seventh blogiversary, by binge drinking until I can wrap my head around how I wound up in a coalition with Dick Freakin’ Cheney.
