I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can. My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.
He's not going away.
Haberman's book is out based on interviews. I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting. Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with. LOL
Quote
“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”
It's a common theme in these threads to use repetative phrases.
Perhaps Ford, a Republican president opposing team didn't say "Ford needs to be put in a bullseye ", "Ford is an existential threat that needs to be eliminated" or categorized him as Hilter for 7 yrs?
Maybe that's why you didn't hear him 'squawking" about his attempted assassination attempts?
So you interchange 9 months and 9 weeks because others do, not because it has any special significance. Got it.
Today Dementia J. Trump said other countries are trying to assassinate him because of tariffs.
Ginni Thomas, a conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, was among the prominent political figures that Iranian hackers sought to impersonate as part of their efforts to target people associated with former President Donald Trump, according to court documents and law enforcement officials briefed on the matter.
US federal prosecutors on Friday unsealed criminal charges against three Iranian government-linked hackers in connection with a hacking operation aimed at Trump.
The indictment doesn't identify Ginni Thomas by name, but it states that between April and May 2024, the hackers used the persona set up in the name of the justice's spouse to send spearphishing emails to a former homeland security adviser and to a former US president, among other targets.
The hackers had set up a fake email account in Ginni Thomas' name in April 2020, according to the indictment and law enforcement officials, but it wasn't until four years later that they used that account in their efforts.

Yep, trying to sabotage Trump. And, trying to assassinate him.
What does that tell you?
That tells me that right wing extremists are dangerous and often engage in behaviors and language of violent retribution. You know, like our home grown right wing extremists do.

Like this incendiary language spoken by a FORMER President at the Conservative Political Action Conference:
"I will prevent World War III... I will get the war solved in ONE day.... I am your voice, I am your retribution"
Since he met with Ukraine's President Zelensky yesterday, wonder what he promised to get the Ukraine War ended?
"We are a failing nation. A nation in decline .. This is the final battle. With you at my side, we will demolish the Deep State, expel the warmongers from our government, drive out the globalists, cast out the communists, marxists and fascists. We will liberate America from these villains. Throw off the sick political class in that hates our government, rout the fake news media...eliminate these villians"
And while we note Trump's current words we should point out that Trump tried really hard to weaponize the federal government against his perceived political enemies and to benefit himself.
According to NYT reporting on what many of us watched happening;
Quote
It was the Spring of 2018 and President Donald J. Trump, faced with an accelerating inquiry into his campaign's ties to Russia, was furious that the Justice Department was reluctant to strike back at those he saw as his enemies. In an Oval Office meeting, Mr. Trump told startled aides that if Attorney General Jeff Sessions would not order the department to go after Hillary Clinton and James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, Mr. Trump would prosecute them himself.
Don't forget what Trump and his sychophants did to corrupt the public perception and knowledge of the Mueller investigation. That is typical Trump behavior but not normal presidential function.
WOMEN ARE POORER THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS HEALTHY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS SAFE ON THE STREETS THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE MORE DEPRESSED AND UNHAPPY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, AND ARE LESS OPTIMISTIC AND CONFIDENT IN THE FUTURE THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO! I WILL FIX ALL OF THAT, AND FAST, AND AT LONG LAST THIS NATIONAL NIGHTMARE WILL BE OVER. WOMEN WILL BE HAPPY, HEALTHY, CONFIDENT AND FREE! YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THINKING ABOUT ABORTION, BECAUSE IT IS NOW WHERE IT ALWAYS HAD TO BE, WITH THE STATES, AND A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE - AND WITH POWERFUL EXCEPTIONS, LIKE THOSE THAT RONALD REAGAN INSISTED ON, FOR RAPE, INCEST, AND THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER - BUT NOT ALLOWING FOR DEMOCRAT DEMANDED LATE TERM ABORTION IN THE 7TH, 8TH, OR 9TH MONTH, OR EVEN EXECUTION OF A BABY AFTER BIRTH. I WILL PROTECT WOMEN AT A LEVEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE. THEY WILL FINALLY BE HEALTHY, HOPEFUL, SAFE, AND SECURE. THEIR LIVES WILL BE HAPPY, BEAUTIFUL, AND GREAT AGAIN!
Trump's pledge is hollow for many reasons !! He's been found liable in NY court for sexual abuse and dozens of other women have credibly accused him of sexual harassment and assault --denied by him.
RFK Jr's recent sexting escapade in the news this week, but haven't seen much coverage of Trump sexual assault accusers speaking out.
Donald Trump's refusal to give up his business when he entered the White House in 2016 ensured he earned more money as commander-in-chief than any other in U.S. history, a Forbes financial analysis revealed Monday.
Trump's massive yet elusive earnings between 2016 and 2020 amounted to more than $250 million, according to Forbes' analysis of his tax returns, bond filings and credit reports, writes senior editor Dan Alexander.
"For Trump, who earned even more before becoming president, the money was critical," Alexander writes, "allowing him to service his debts, improve his properties, pay his kids and live like a king — all while governing the nation."
The reporting on Trump's habit of corrupt fraud in his business dealings is pretty revealing. Forbes is reporting on this. I don't have a subscription. The primary author is doing interviews.
