mackdaddy's JournalTrump / RFK jr Putting us in danger from a BIOWeapons Attack ??!!
So some of the HHS scientist they fired handled responses to potential BioWeapons attacks. Just great.
Short interview on CNN:

I propose the 'Neville Chamberlain Award for Appeasement and Capitulation'.
There have been so many recent incidents of appeasement to the Trump Crime Gang I propose and official award to recognize these groups total lack of a backbone.
Some of my suggestions would be:
ABC/Disney for not standing up for George Stephanopoulos.
Large Universities for eliminating DEI programs.
Meta/Facebook for paying 25Million to Trump for suspending his accounts for insurrection.
And this week the Paul, Weiss et al law firm for the offense of practicing law in a manner not Trumpian.
The list seems pretty long. Who would you add?
I suggest the 'Your problem is obvious' image to be used for a statuette.
I think if this dirty CR passes, it could affect some of the anti-DOGE Court cases.
Some of the arguments being used is that many of the cuts being inflicted by DOGE must have congressional approval since they were originally funded by the congress budgets.
This gives Musk official congressional approval for much of this crap, and could affect the Court decision.
Any thoughts?
Settling these lawsuits Trump brings can be a form of legal bribery.
I was watching Andrew Weissmann on the Bulwark podcast and they were talking about some of these BS lawsuits that Trump is slapping news networks with like the ABC suit just settled, and now Paramount is talking about settling the suit because 60 Minutes had a promo for their Harris interview. Both of course total BS they would win.
But he brought up that Paramount is looking to do some large merger and thus might settle this lawsuit and pay Trump. This could be looked at as a way to legally pay a bribe (or blackmail) to Trump personally that you could not pay otherwise. And they get their merger green lighted.
He even mentioned that Trump has a 100 million dollar lawsuit against the government because of the document search and seizure at Mar a Lardo. He could not just order the DOJ to settle that lawsuit and pay himself the settlement.
I thought this was an important way of looking at this and would explain why the settlements on a winnable case. Just another grift.
What are some things that President Joe Biden can do in the next couple of months in power?
First, he should pardon his son Hunter. He has been through enough and it was overdone anyway.
I would also go for releasing the Jeffrey Epstein documents. Let the chips fall where they may, including the photos of good ole Jeff and Don. I still think Epstein was finally arrested because he was talking to the author about his relationship with Trump. Release all the evidence collected about Barr's and the DOJ investigation into his death in prison too.
Release all of the documents and internal communications when they threw Michael Cohen back into solitary confinement in prison because he would not sign an NDA.
I would also release all evidence in at least the index of the secret documents and what might have been exposed and the damage done in the Mar a lardo case. What do they have on boxes of documents shipped to New Jersey?
Make sure any evidence the DOJ might have for the Georgia case is given to Fani Willis since she won re-election.
I don't know what all was involved in the amnesty that Regan gave to immigrants back in the 80's, but maybe some sort of 'pardon' could be extended to at least all of the 'Dreamers' since they have to have had extremely clean records to even be registered. I would go so far as to just declare them citizens, why not.
I would also do anything possible to tie up national parks and protect federal lands from being developed or privatized in any way. This was one of the things Trump promised to go after.
I would also recommend issuing blanket pardons, whether needed or not to anyone on Trump's enemies list. That would at least blunt this BS, because I have no doubt Trump would try to go after Jack Smith, the Jan 6 committee members, Michael Cohen, his former staff that came out against him among others he has threatened.
There should also be a massive push to get all open Federal judge appointments filled.
What else would you suggest?
I voted this morning, Ohio early voting has started!
I was just thinking this is the Third time I have voted against the Orange Criminal...
But I am in a rural county and the BOE offices are actually closer than my voting location across town.
We now vote on paper ballots with the fill in the bubble type with pens provided. Once you have finished with that you go over to one of two scanning machines and feed you ballot into the machine. It sucks it in, scans it and puts it in some internal storage. It does have a display that it scanned it.
The Ohio supreme court offices now are listed as Democratic or Republican candidates. The state Board of education was not, and I had not looked up those candidates.
We had several offices without an Democratic candidate and I did not vote for any Republican period.
We also had Issue 1 which is the second attempt to end Gerrymandering in Ohio. We passed a ban of this 6 years ago but the Republicans have done and end run around that one, so hopefully this one will pass and work.
For anyone in Ohio, we do not just have an election Day, we basically have an election MONTH!
Experts warn of Trump danger at major conference.
This is important to have this many top experts talking about how unfit and dangerous Trump back in power would be.
Experts warn of Trump danger at major conference.
You can't win Darth, If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
With a single post Joe Biden has
Passed the torch of liberty to the next generation.
Invigorated the entire Democratic party, and Democrats of all ages.
Upended the entire MAGA hate campaign.
Freed himself to concentrate on accomplishing the goals of his administration for the next half year.
President Joe Biden has now become more powerful than MAGA can possibly imagine.
This movie scene flashes into my mind.
DJT was using extramarital affairs as part of his campaign in 2016 AGAINST the Clintons.
I have not seen this covered recently, but one of the reasons WHY Trump would make these hush $ payments is that Trump had made women who had accused Bill Clinton of inappropriate sexual behavior a major point to use against Hillary in the 2016 election.
Trump held a press conference with several of these women just before a debate with Hillary, and this was televised. This I believe was before the Access Hollywood tape.
Trump's own additional indiscretions becoming public makes him an even bigger hypocrite than just the Access Hollywood tape did.
But covering his cheating with a porn star, playboy bunny and worker in his own building was absolutely a part of his own campaign strategy and to help his own campaign.
Here is a link to this press conference.
Another point I think is that Trump had One encounter with Stormy. But in interviews he saw Karen McDougal 5 times a month for 10 months - 50 times. And the third story was he had an out of wedlock baby with a woman who worked for him in his building. All three are major data points in the campaign itself. (I still find it hard to believe MAGA overlooks all of this...)
Please remember that at the same time Trump was paying off two of his extramarital Affair partners,
to keep them silenced, Trump had a press conference with a lineup of women who had accused Bill Clinton of anything untoward.
So this BS that this was only to 'protect' Melanoma's delicate sensibilities is just that, Bull Shit.
Trump was pushing hard in his campaign against Hillary, that somehow anyone who had accused Bill of something was a negative against Hillary. And at the same time paying hush money through his attorney to keep his own extramarital affairs on the down low.
This is a blatant campaign finance violation on top of tax fraud in claiming it as a business expense.
