John Deering for February 08, 2024

Grifters gotta grift.

Because presidents should be leading by example, not the opposite where Trump’s regime was all criminal activity.

There is money to be made being president, Tiny showed us. Money for lawyers and money for the family and friends.

Some actually believe in serving the people. I know it’s rare.

Access to power must be confined to those who are not in love with it.— Plato

I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected president but refuses because he doesn’t want to give up power. — A. Clarke

Exactly trump not fit to be a president less a lawmaker

It’s all part of his pattern from his upbringing. Do whatever you want regardless of legality, morality, etc. If caught in a such an act, first deny it’s wrong then attack the accusers rather than take responsibility.

“If the president’s not above the law, then why run for president?”

1) A good question, Donnie, but I see that you’re running, anyway. What does that say about your “cognitive” ability?

2) Is a belief that it would put him “above the law” the real reason that Trump ran for President in the first place?

He really should defect to Saudi Arabia or Russia or anywhere that doesn’t extradite. However, it would have helped him to have actual cash to fund such an endeavor.

Since he did not have an acceptance speech ready and fumbled a bunch on election night, it’s clear he was either running to “burnish his brand,” or he intended to do what he did after he lost the second bid – contest the results and upend the system.

74,000,000, many of you claim your roots to the philosophical origins of this nation, what with your Tea Party ideas…………………then you try to coronate an authoritarian king……….can you explain the paradox?:

Ex-president fatso can finally do something right: be an example to the next generation of white collar criminals by dying in prison. And no “club fed” for him, please.

It truly amazes me that this nation has experienced 9 years of turmoil as a result of the publicity stunt of a 2 bit con man.

This cartoon hits the nail on the head. Trump’s guiding principle: me, me,me.

Let’s not forget July 23’d when he began his Article 2 BS: Trump claimed Article 2 of the Constitution gives him the right to do ’whatever I want as president,

An American President above the law would then join the ranks Kim Jong Un, Saddam Hussein, and other dictators and despots who could personally kill opponents at will and have no consequences.

Do you think war criminal Putin would let Trumpublicans bomb his client state Iran?

What is really disturbing is he isn’t even trying to prove he’s not guilty. He has even admitted he took papers he was not allowed to have. No he using the “I can do whatever I want” ‘defense’ and his sheeple cultists, admire him for it.

The grift, of course. The grift.

Crooked liar Trump’s Magapublican party of criminals want to steal the USA from the majority.

Politico – Tucker Carlson joins long line of ‘useful idiot’ journalists helping tyrants

The notorious Walter Duranty of the New York Times and Nazi broadcaster Lord Haw-Haw offer cautionary tales.

Russian President Vladimir Putin can be confident he won’t be facing any zingers in his interview with Carlson, due to be broadcast on Thursday night in the U.S. It will probably be more an exercise in sycophancy akin to the softball encounter between Carlson and Donald Trump last August. Indeed, it could be an attempt to map out the contours of another Trump-Putin love-in.

After all, Carlson nailed his colors to Putin’s mast long ago. He’s argued Washington should take Russia’s side in its war on Ukraine and dubbed Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “dangerous authoritarian” — not a description, apparently, he thinks applicable to the Russian leader. He has also always been in tune with Putin’s calls for “traditional values” — which in Russia tends to mean the abuse of LGBTQ+ rights.

‘Get the truth’: Marjorie Taylor Greene gushes ‘praise’ over Tucker Carlson and Putin

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) offered “praise” for Tucker Carlson because she said he interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin “just to get the truth out” about the war on Ukraine.

Not “We the People.” ME the man (actually the “man”).

No longer will a fool be called noble,

nor a scoundrel be respected.

For a fool speaks foolishness;

his mind plots iniquity.

He practices ungodliness

and speaks falsely about the LORD;

he leaves the hungry empty

and deprives the thirsty of drink.

-Isaiah 32

Tucker Carlson releases controversial interview with Vladimir Putin:

Putin claims ‘Ukraine is an artificial state that was shaped at Stalin’s will’ in interview with Tucker Carlson

Putin baselessly claims Ukraine started warPutin managed to claim during his interview with Tucker Carlson that Ukraine started the conflict in 2014 and that the invasion in February 2022 was an attempt to stop it.

“We haven’t achieved our aims yet. Because one of them is de-Nazification. This means the prohibition of all kinds of neo-Nazi movements,” he added.

Putin’s claim that Ukraine is led by Nazis has been widely debunked – its President Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish and lost relatives in the Holocaust.

Propaganda scholar calls interview ‘carefully scripted series of questions designed to allow Putin to parade his historical grievances and distortions’Dr Ian Garner, a scholar on Russian propaganda, wrote on X that “Putin’s got to the 1990s and is telling us all about how awful the USA is. Thank God Carlson is interviewing Putin so that he can FINALLY tell the REAL TRUTH, i.e. all the lies he’s told and the media has reported on over and again for years on end”.

“Putin claiming NATO has always been negative toward Russia, even when he was a very well behaved boy in the early 2000s. Skimmed over all the NATO-Russia cooperation and the vocal support for RU-NATO integration from many in the West at that time,” he added. “There’s nothing new in this interview. Nothing. It’s a carefully scripted series of questions designed to allow Putin to parade his historical grievances and distortions to the American public.”
