Some Good News On A Lousy Day

The Alvin Bragg/Trump trial is scheduled for March 25th, it is going to happen.

The appeals are over, as a matter of fact when Trump tried to get the trial moved to federal court he waived his immunity claim.

The Supreme Court can take 3 months and it won't affect this trial.

Well maybe statute of limitations? never mind.

Time Mattered - Now It's Too Late

Andrew Weissmann said, the Supreme Court, de facto, gave Benedict Donald immunity.

Can't blame Jack Smith or judge Chutkan.

Funding For Ukraine

I have a bad feeling that Putin owns House Magats. I do not believe that we will get an aid package for Ukraine passed in the House.

What do others think?

Uncommitted Voters In Michigan, Listen Up

What is going on in Gaza is because of Bibi Netanyahu, not President Biden. The majority of people in Israel do not like Bibi, he is the leader of the far right faction who would be in jail were it not for this war.

Consider this "uncommitted" voters in Michigan, Bibi wants Donald Trump to be president. Bibi, the guy who is responsible for civilian deaths in Gaza wants Trump, want to know why?

Uncommitted voters if Donald Trump had been president at the onset of the war, he would have given permission to Bibi to do a Sherman-like march to the sea.

Uncommitted voters, your protest vote was a vote for Donald Trump, Bibi Netanyahu's good friend, please reconsider come November.

Just A Counter To The Right Wing Narrative That Ukraine Is Losing

You bet Russia won a battle in Avdiivka, no doubt about that, but at what cost? The battle for Avdiivka cost Russia more casualties than the Soviet Union suffered in its 10 year war with Afghanistan. Think about that.

Putin is using Russians like fodder, like sheep to the slaughter, and he does not care.

Check out what Ukraine has accomplished so far:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russia-s-losses-in-ukraine-as-of-february-28-two-more-aircraft-and-1060-russian-invaders/ar-BB1j1G53?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=5c07d18418be4bf7833d9fe1f92d2a59&ei=18

The total combat Russian losses from 24.02.22 to 28.02.24 are estimated to be:

・personnel - about 412610 (+1060) Russian invaders were killed;

・tanks - 6570 (+14) units;

・armored combat vehicles - 12508 (+14) units;

・artillery systems - 1029 (+20) units;

・MLRS - 1000 units;

・air defense systems - 688 (+2) units;

・aircraft - 342 (+2) units;

Another Huge Loss For Putin

Another huge loss for Putin just happened with Sweden joining NATO. Sweden joins Finland who also joined last year.

Not much press being given to this development from the Purin-friendly MSM.

Wat to go President Biden, this ups Nato's membership to 32 countries. What Finland and Sweden joining NATO means, it adds 830 miles of border with Russia and puts a NATO noose around the Baltic Sea.

Putin's invasion of Ukraine has really been a disaster for Putin, 400,000 Russian casualties and 2 new members of NATO. Where is the MSM?

I found this from a right wing rag, Newsweek, enjoy:

I Think I Know Why Tucker Went To Moscow

Now why would Tucker want to brag about how wonderful it is to live in Russia? I think I know.

Millions of people have fled Russia. Over a million in 2022 and statistics are hard to find for 2023.

Russia may have lost as high as 2% of its work force and that's just for starters. The people who are leaving are well off, intelligent, and working in good jobs. In the early stages of the war Russia's central bank reported that Russians withdrew 15 billion dollars from its bank.

Taking Econ 101 doesn't qualify me as an economist but maybe Tucker, that loaf of bread and those beets are so cheap because of deflation?

Maybe those millions of people who have fled Russia will watch Tucker's videos and think to themselves, maybe I should have stayed? Not.

Anyone out there with skills? Go to Russia, guaranteed you will be hired, you may even get to travel to far off places like Ukraine.

Putin Sacrificing Russians To Get Trump Elected

Yeah I see the headlines of Russian troops advancing, that is the right wing talking point. Russian troops are advancing, incrementally, at what cost?

Putin desperately wants to win the war in Ukraine to make President Biden look bad. Is that Putin's only reason for invading Ukraine, absolutely not, but it's at the top of the list.

It is estimated that 300,000 to 400,000 Russians have been killed or wounded. Putin does not care. With Trump in the White House he can work with Trump to bring down democracies worldwide.

"Having written so many letters of condolence to American mothers and fathers, particularly during the surge in Iraq, I don't know how he can actually look at this, how he can deal with this." David Petraeus speaking about Putin.

Congressional Magats also want to see Putin win the war, they are working hand in hand with Russia to get Trump elected.

Russia's losses are staggering: More Russians died in Avdiivka than died in the 10 year Soviet-Afghan war.

The Best Thing About Nicolle Wallace's Return Today

She will change the narrative back to where it belongs. I can't watch cable news because it pushes the right wing narrative, even if it puts a progressive slant to it, they still are talking about what the right wants talked about.

The only minor complaint I have about the headline she is using, and it is a very minor complaint. She uses the word "autocracy" in discussing how it can happen here. Many people don't understand that word, but they understand "Dictator."

Bring it Nicolle, Welcome Back.

Someone Needs To Investigate The Investigation

I don't give a shit who does it. The DOJ IG Horowitz seems to be uninterested, he seems to be a logical choice because the FBI and DOJ look to hell like they are complicit in a fraudulent investigation to bring down Joe Biden. I believe a Senate investigation will go nowhere, but if that's all we got, do it.

I mean an investigation back to Trump and Barr and Donaghue and Rosen. An investigation that includes Weiss and definitely includes US Attorney Scott Brady.
An investigation that includes members of Congress.

If Horowitz won't do it then it's up to Garland to appoint another of his special counsels, and to not be partisan it cannot be a Trump appointed person. Sorry if it damages the reputation of a couple of institutions but we need to know how deep Russia is into our government.

Not holding my breath seeing as the only conversation seems to be that House Magats should drop their impeachments, no shit Dick Tracy. How about putting them under investigation and I bet they drop their investigations in a heartbeat.
They keep doing it because no one holds them accountable.

Has Scott Perry been indicted yet? Looks to me like members of Congress have immunity.
