Trump, Republican allies conveniently forget Iran's 2020 offenses
As Donald Trump and his allies suggest Iran was too intimidated to launch offenses under his leadership, they're counting on people to have short memories.

Former President Trump on Saturday ripped into President Biden over Irans recent attack against Israel, arguing it would not be occurring if were still in the Oval Office. I want to say God bless the people of Israel theyre under attack right now, Trump said Saturday during a rally in Schnecksville, Penn. Thats because we show great weakness. This would not happen.
Oddly enough, during the event, Trump tried to say that the United States shows great weakness, but he ended up saying great weaknicks.

.....Whats more, lets also not forget that in January 2020, an Iranian missile strike left several dozen of U.S. troops with traumatic brain injuries. Trump dismissed the importance of the injuries the Republican called them little more than headaches prompting Veterans of Foreign Wars to ask the then-president to apologize for minimizing what had happened to the troops.
Trump ignored the VFWs appeal.
My point is not to blame Trump for the attacks that occurred on his watch. Rather, my point is that when Trump tries to blame his own countrys leaders for foreign violence, and says such violence would never happen if he were in office, we know this is ugly and unnecessary nonsense, intended to persuade people who dont remember what happened just four years ago.
Borowitz Report- Trump Rejects Several Female Jurors as Not His Type
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/FMfcgzGxSlPWDHCBtDsshpGrNJkDHmQdThe judge declared Trump out of order when he commented that one of the women was a 5 or a 6 at best.
This is what happens when Joe Biden controls the justice system, Trump said. He doesnt know how to pick women. I ran beauty pageants.
Looking at the panel of jurors, he added, This should never be allowed to happen in this country.
Trumps legal woes worsened further when his entire team of attorneys suddenly pleaded insanity.
The lawyers said they were claiming to be insane on the grounds of expecting to ever be paid.
In a nightmare scenario for Trump, Rudy Giuliani has volunteered to defend him.
Sedition Hunters and other volunteer groups are making a push to identify J-6 rioters assholes
The DOJ and the FBI are pushing to identify and arrest as many of the J6 terrorists as possible. There are a couple of volunteer groups who are sending out emails trying to identify these assholes. I get and forward the emails from these groups who are looking for J-6 terrorists who need to be brought to justice. Here are the emails that I have received just this morning

Trump Media Sinks 15% After Registering Shares, Warrants
Trump Media has filed a registration statement with the SEC to help current holders sell their stock and warrants.
https://twitter.com/MichaelBDeane1/status/1779869368639222030
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-media-plunges-registering-shares-130049015.html
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., parent of Truth Social, filed to register shares, including those linked to warrants. The move could ultimately bring forward sales from insiders that are currently not permitted until September.
Shares slumped 15% to $27.83 as of 9:50 a.m. in New York, the lowest level since January. Warrants, which are tied to the stock and can be exchanged with cash for shares of the company, sank 6.9% to $12.75. The company has had its market value slashed by more than $5 billion from a peak after debuting in March.
The slump means the paper windfall for the former president has dropped to $2.3 billion from more than $5 billion in a matter of weeks. However, if the stock can hold above the $17.50 mark, Trump and insiders would be in line to get another 40 million shares to divvy up. Even after the latest slide, that so-called earnout would be worth $1.2 billion.
The company registered as many as 146 million common shares, as well as up to 21 million shares that are issuable upon the exercise of warrants. The filing also registered up to 4 million warrants to purchase common stock. All securities being registered are either held by or underlie securities held by existing holders of Trump Media.
The Form S-1 is amazing. See https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1849635/000114036124019745/ny20026576x1_s1.htm
This filing is going to further dilute the public shareholders in a very thinly traded stock
https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1779864189059645617
The stock has been as low as $26.83 today.
I am looking forward to reading the Form s-1 and 50 pages of risk factors. This will be fun to watch
Why Trump hates wind turbines
The Washington Post has a good article on why TFG hates wind turbines
https://twitter.com/pbump/status/1515322290799579138
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/15/why-trump-hates-wind-turbines/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWJpZCI6IjIxOTU5MzciLCJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNjUwMTE1OTUyLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNjUxMzI1NTUyLCJpYXQiOjE2NTAxMTU5NTIsImp0aSI6ImRhNzViYTY1LWU4YjQtNDI4Yy1hZjU0LTM0ZDNhZTFhYTM5MSIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS9wb2xpdGljcy8yMDIyLzA0LzE1L3doeS10cnVtcC1oYXRlcy13aW5kLXR1cmJpbmVzLyJ9.46Slq8CAtV94_N8EvvwAGULQO1Qrz_Dht9dJA8Z4XOc
Because Trump will never stop complaining about wind turbines. It is perhaps his oldest political opinion and one that is almost completely impervious to any reason. In that light its instructive: No one will convince Trump that hes wrong about wind turbines or that his rationales for hating wind turbines are outdated or wrong, and he will dig in simply because people are telling him hes wrong......
The particular story of the wind turbines begins 16 years ago in Scotland. In 2006, Trump bought a large chunk of property on the countrys northeastern coast with the goal of turning it into a golf resort. Six years later, it opened as Trump International Golf Links......
What Trump appears not to have known when he bought the land, though, is that three years prior a new offshore wind farm had been proposed. Following preparatory work, a formal application for construction was filed in 2011. And thats when the war started.
At the outset, Trump had only one concern: that the offshore turbines would ruin the view from his course. After all, he clearly had no objection to environmentalism; at one point he insisted that his proposed resort has received tremendous support from environmental groups and that the resort was actually the greatest thing Ive ever done for the environment. In short order, Trump filed a complaint against the farm.
Trumps relationship with the Scots deteriorated. In part it was because he launched a war against a local family whose property he wanted to buy a war that he won in court but led to his being eviscerated in public. Michael Forbes, one of the people resisting Trumps buyout effort, was named Top Scot in an award sponsored by the Glenfiddich whisky brand, prompting Trump to ban the liquor from his properties. There was also a documentary......
Because this is meant to be a compendium of Trumps views on the subject, we should quickly run through some of his claims and debunk or contextualize them. So:
Wind turbines can kill birds, as a New York Times story that ran the week of his April interview with Hannity discussed. (Initial research suggests that painting one blade black reduces this risk.) But Trumps complaints about saving migratory birds are undercut quite a bit by the fact that his administration tried to hollow out a law protecting those birds and by the fact that Trump is a big proponent of another, much more frequent killer of birds: buildings.
Wind energy is a relatively inexpensive form of energy. And while it is dependent on wind (obviously), there are systems (batteries) that can store energy for times when wind is in lower supply. Its also not the case that Texass power outage in the winter of 2021 was a function of freezing turbines.
The United States imports a lot of wind turbine parts from overseas, but there are hundreds of domestic manufacturers as well (as in Iowa). Part of the push a decade ago was for the country to invest more in the production of turbines, solar equipment and batteries in the United States to not lose an economic advantage, but that push was stymied in part by political opposition to spending money on green energy.
That Trump keeps making broad and often outdated claims about wind energy is not surprising. This is what he does!
Moskowitz: Greene 'doesn't have the votes to rename a post office,' let alone to oust Johnson
https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1779023227697631611https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4590936-moskowitz-greene-doesnt-have-the-votes-to-rename-a-post-office-let-alone-to-oust-johnson/
I mean, Marjorie Taylor Greene doesnt have the votes, Moskowitz said on CNN News Central to anchor John Berman. She doesnt have the votes to remove the Speaker. She doesnt have the votes to rename a post office.
Greene filed a motion to oust Johnson as Speaker in late March. She later explained her reason behind doing so in a letter to colleagues, which included the Louisiana Republicans handling of government funding and Ukraine aid.
Fact Check-Donald Trump is wrong on Democrats' abortion stance. They don't support the 'execution' of babies.
TFG's lie about Democrats wanting to kill babies after birth was fact checked and shown to be false
https://twitter.com/PolitiFact/status/1777668174684487901
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/apr/08/donald-trump/donald-trump-explains-his-abortion-policy-with-fal/
Then he turned the issue back on Democrats, claiming that they were the "radical" party on abortion.
"They support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month," Trump said. "The concept of having an abortion in the later months, and even execution after birth. And that's exactly what it is. The baby is born, the baby is executed after birth is unacceptable, and almost everyone agrees with that."
We have rated similar statements from Trump and other Republican leaders False. Democrats arent calling for the killing of infants after birth. Willfully ending a newborns life is illegal in every U.S. state.......
Our ruling
Trump claimed that Democrats support abortion measures that result in the "execution" of babies "after birth."
This is grossly inaccurate. Rather than discuss Democratic support for broad abortion access throughout pregnancy, Trumps inflammatory rhetoric exaggerates by saying the party supports killing an unwanted infant after birth. This would be infanticide and is illegal in every state.
Situations resulting in a fetal death in the third trimester are rare, and involve emergencies such as fetal anomalies or life-threatening medical emergencies affecting the mother. Babies that are delivered are not killed.
We rate this claim False.
'Nobody is killing babies': Fox News host rips right-wing reporter on 'infanticide' myth David Edwards
TFG's lies about late term abortions and post birth murders are false and offensive. I was amused to see Fox News push back against these lies

https://www.rawstory.com/infanticide-fox-news/
During a Sunday panel discussion on Fox News, Kurtz told Downey that Democrats were using Arizona's near-total abortion ban as an example of "what you get when you leave it up to the states."
"A court can step in and revive this 1864 law where you can get up to five years in prison if you're a provider," Kurtz explained.....
"Well, the infanticide thing is a bit of a Republican talking point," Kurtz interrupted. "Nobody is killing babies that have already been born."
