For me, never bringing it up is the give away.

You ever see the BBC interview right after David Bowie died? BBC brought in Bowie's childhood friend to talk about him...except the friend looked exactly exactly like David Bowie. It's actually hilarious. The interviewer never said a word. Just acted she didn't notice.

Personally, I think that's the plan too. With the understanding that (in the old system) money and debt are the same thing, it's a real big deal when Trump says we're going to pay off the debt in a year. That would mean new money within a year.

The debt supply and the money ("money") supply are the same thing in our current system. If Trump is saying we're going to pay the debt in the next year and he means it, then he's really saying one of two things: He's either saying that we're all going to die (because there will be barely any liquidity in the system) or he's saying that he's got another system ready to replace the existing system.

Maybe so they could trick people into talking about something that's a nothing burger? Do you know anyone who would fall for something like that?

I don't think Trump could stand on stage at a rally and explain to people what you're trying to say here. It's too complex and too much opposed to a world view that people have accepted for a long time. Personally, I love topics like this and I love understanding how the system really works. But when I try to raise issues like this, even with conservative friends and family, their eyes glaze over. I think Trump has to operate within a narrative that people understand sometimes even if that narrative isn't the most sophisticated way to examine an issue.

I think this is a great list. I think you could add his involvement with professional wrestling. Exposed him to an important demographic and gave him the opportunity to perform with a combative style for them.

I have been reviewing RKs meme-movie. I have to say one the most common themes in his memes is a resurrection followed by kicking ass. There are probably about 10 solid uses of those images combined. A resurrection followed by kicking ass. In fact, every single meme that includes a character who is kicking ass or is imminently about to kick ass has that character preceded by resurrection imagery.

Champagne is called "Champagne" because it's made in Champagne, France. If it's made somewhere else it's not really Champagne. In the same way, there can't be such a thing as French Bourbon because Bourbon is made in Bourbon county, Kentucky.

edit: I forgive OP for the title to the post, but Trump definitely knows there is no Champagne business in the US and must have made the "error" on purpose. Troll.

I have never heard of a law enforcement agency releasing evidence that an individual(s) was involved in crimes without preceding that release with arrests and charges. There was just a big human trafficking arrest in Florida (again) and the order of events from the public's point of view was first to hear about the arrest and then to hear about the reason for the arrest.

Wouldn't it be weird, actually, if a law enforcement agency released evidence of a crime to the public prior to an arrest? Wouldn't you expect to see arrests first and then the evidence is released in trial?

It might be that the bots and shills have lost their funding?

I was thinking this same thing when Elon fired all of the Twitter staff and the company still functioned. They work from home because they don't exist and they are laundering the money.

She looks like she just realized she'd been set up.

SEC needs it's own line in here. This is an important one.
