Wow. He looks like he has lost weight. He deserves those cheers. I am cheering in my seat.
His MAGA tattoo - LOLOL
Puts the cosh on Nancy Pelosi, Merrick Garland, and J6 Sham-committee.
Does anyone have the deets on how his prison term was over-turned?
The police are possily CYA with this statement, or at least the commissioner is.
The only question is then who screwed up, or who turned a blind eye. (incompetence vs. malign intent)
However, there are lots of reports that that building was a local law enforcement staging point. https://is2.4chan.org/pol/1721255537173859.png - ABC News - so take with grain of salt. I tend to believe the tweet from the man more.
Russians believe Ukrainians are behind it, because Trump said he would end the war quick-smart. That means no more lolly. Furthermore, DJT will set his actuaries and phorensic accountants loose, as well as prosecuting attorneys, to burrow out all the stinkey, stolen money. There are billions upon billions missing. So, someone did not want to see that spigot turned off, and there was a limited time window to try and get Biden in again.
Nuland and Blinken are Ukrainians (Well their pappies and grandpappies are, and they are very invested.) Just saying.
Nuland was almost knuckling herself with glee that "Trump would not be president" and that it would be a "nasty surprise for Putin", only hours before the "God's Breath and St Michael's sword-glint" event. Hang on, I'll get a link.
Yes, the planners are prolly Ukrainians. IMO. Follow the money.
Sorry keyboard malfunction. She was in contact with someone:
10 miles away from the site, there was a white van which the FBI towed away. She wonders why it was 10 miles away, and how a kid could walk 10 miles, with a gun in that summer heat.
She describes the PTSD she is experiencing. How she can't sleep because of reliving it etc.
Natalie points out the intimidating effect of the shooting upon Trump supporters.
She wondered:
Snipers went on roof at 5:08. they kept looking at the roo across (Speculation: as if the snipers were pointing at the patsy to distract everyone?)
The security was very lax. She felt that she was in the safest place, but remarked upon the lack of personnel.
Everyone's focus was on Trump. But then they heard a commotion of to the right (People calling out aabout the shooter?. I think Trump distracted looked at them too.)
Very moving bit re: actual events (dog reacts and barks at his mistress' tears - this is how I knew this was real - also she gathers herself up, so the dog calms)- she was protecting children and praying. there was nobody to protect these people.
That song ALWAYS gives me goosebumps.
Even when I read the English lyrics I get 'em. Truth.
Also, what a nice surprise for us clandestine Opera-buffs (And yes, it is weird in regular society - I was even accused of listening to Imperialist music by an activist - but WYpepo have no culture, I am sure. I was blasting it in the supermarket carpark, because the stereo in the car is chef's kiss. So i guess I offended the hairdye merchant).
Thank You Mr President.
And the Italians are so the best at lyrical Opera. So to celebrate, here is Pavarotti - in arguably his swan-song masterpiece - Nessun Dorma. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWc7vYjgnTs - Just so we can prime ourselves on the song.
Regarding the NAzi take: Arguably Puccini was part of the old order before the Fascists took over in that part of the world, he lived a life of hunting from his formidable country-lodge and fast cars - which would have painted a target on his back by the Fascists, who loved money. So I spose we can talk about his car-accident in which he nearly died, and it contributed to his early demise? He was raised by Catholic nuns and polished in a Conservatory. So what you hear is Catholic opera that is exploring the excesses of dark humanity.
So, I guess we can argue the difference between Hitler and Mussolini, but I like to point out that this music pre-dates all that nonsense. And on that score (heh), Wagner has been tarred with that brush too. Just because Hitler liked to listen to it. But that Germanic opera genre also pre-dates Nazis.
