While almost nobody was talking about Amendment 14, Secton 3, Donald the Thug, Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen and St. Peter had themselves some serious yucks

    While news and social media went bonkers over 4 indictments of Donald The Thug, I saw this in my Apple News feed:

Florida lawyer files legal challenge to disqualify Trump from 2024 presidential race 

August 23, 2023 

A lawyer from Palm Beach County has filed one of the first legal challenges to disqualify Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential race under a clause in the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment.

Boynton Beach tax attorney Lawrence Caplan filed the challenge in federal court in the Southern District of Florida citing the amendment's "disqualification clause" for those who engage in insurrections and rebellion against the United States. The amendment was ratified in 1868 after the Civil War, during Reconstruction, and also addressed the citizenship status of freed slaves and the re-integration of the defeated Confederate states back into the Union...

    and I posted on my Facebook:

I wonder why this took so long to happen, and only in one state- Florida?

Amendment 14, Section 3

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Right? Why haven’t they been shouting this from the hills since Jan 6th?

Sloan Bashinsky
Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden shout it? Why didn’t the US Attorney General file a 14th Amendment disqualification action in the US District Court in Washington D. C., where Trump was and the Jan 6, 2020 insurrection happened?

    After Donald The Thug's weigh-in at the Fulton County, Georiga jail, I posted at my Facebook:

Why was Trump permitted to tell the jail he weighed 215 pounds, instead of the jail weighing him? If he weighs only 215 pounds, there are no Scales of Justice.

    As for Stormy Daniels' view of The Thug's weight:

Stormy Daniels in disbelief over Trump weight: ‘I’m 110lbs and a virgin’

By 

Jon Levine

August 26, 2023 

Porn star Stormy Daniels said she doesn’t believe former President Donald Trump weighs only 215 pounds, as hisFulton County jail booking records attest.

“Mmmkay! And I’m 110lbs and a virgin ! I’m not a scale or a doctor but I have spent some time beneath 215lb men and Tiny was not one of them,” she wrote Friday on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Trump also listed his height at 6 feet 3 inches — putting him in a class alongside the likes of boxer Muhammad Ali in his prime, and actor Chris Hemsworth when he played Thor.

Trump’s last reported weight was taken in 2020 during his annual physical as president. 

At that time he weighed 244 pounds and was an inch shorter. 

Before achieving his current peak physical performance, his former weight was considered obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Adult BMI Calculator.

Trump’s indictment in Georgia — his fourth in 2023 — includes 13 new counts of racketeering and conspiracy and other alleged offenses from efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Daniels herself is at the center of an indictment from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg stemming from Trump’s alleged payment of hush money to her to keep quiet about an affair they had before the 2016 presidential election. 

Trump has denied ever sleeping with Daniels.

Daniels’ commentary was only the latest in a string of posts online dissecting the historic booking at Fulton County. One commentator compared his mugshot to the famous “Kubrick Stare”

“A method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that they are at the peak of their derangement,” said the poster.

Michael Cohen Says What Really ‘Appalled’ Him About Trump’s Georgia Arrest

One part of the proceedings angered the former president's fixer.

Michael Cohen, a former fixer for Donald Trump, on Sunday expressed his disgust with what he described as the “royal treatment” the former president received when he surrendered to law enforcement officials in Fulton County, Georgia, last week over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

“I was appalled, to be honest with you, while watching the news and watching how Donald was brought to the Fulton County Jail,” Cohen told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi. “Forty-motorcade in New Jersey, forty-motorcade in Georgia. Why? He’s nothing more than an indicted defendant.”e Politics 

“How much money did it cost the American taxpayers? How much money did it cost the people of Atlanta in order to put all the police officers? For what?” Cohen added. “For this man to roll up like he’s, you know, Caesar coming through the gates of Rome after victory. He is an indicted defendant on 91 counts. He should not be given this sort of royal treatment.”

    Overcome by what might cause William Shakespeare to die laughing in his grave, I posted at my Facebook page:

Sloan Bashinsky

So, I read in a news article that the Christian fundamentalist Sarah Palin warned the American left that prosecuting Donald Trump will bring a civil war, is that what the left wants? I wondered if Sarah ever even once considered that Jesus in the Gospels would tell her to tell the American right, if they start a civil war for any reason, they never knew Jesus in the Gospels, who waged civil war very differently in his day. Sarah might also tell the American right that they really should stop calling the American left communists. 

 

NIV Acts 4:
32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.
33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all
34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales
35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.

You do have a way with words Sloan

I was trained by angels known in the Bible, they get most of the credit. They really roughed me up in many ways. I see no way humanity gets straightened out without similar treatment. Even after that, it won’t be easy.

cult humor - If you wanted to see, you would not belong to a political party?

    My doctor did blood work on me yesterday and never saw blood like mine and called the CDC and Homeland Security, and I shape-shifted into a beautiful 30-year-old woman and walked out of there. Meanwhile, the problem with belonging to a cult is it is impossible to see what you most need to see: that you belong to a cult.

    In the wake of Donald The Thug's mug shot being strewn all over the news and social media...

BTW, according to faux news, Hunter is the main story

Not at all surprising and.. of course, not Germaine, If the Bidens are criminal, happy to convict, but doubt it.

Ken

I have an easy time believing that Hunter is a shady character. Not exactly news: Charlie Adams was a flaming dumpster of a presidential son, nobody blames John Adams for it.

Sloan Bashinsky

The problem is, how did Hunter end up making so much money without it being tied to his V.P. father, and then his President father? You think those foreign businesses would have anything to do with a sleaze addict like Hunter, if not for who his father was? Hello?

Rich

If this story is accurate, it is very disconcerting.

Hunter may not be the MAIN story, but this is certainly something that needs to be addressed.

The deflection of anything Hunter related “Because Trump”, is disingenuous, at best, and parochial politics which will enable all political elite to operate under a different set of laws than the average person.

Joe Biden's alias emails to son Hunter—Everything we know

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are seeking unrestricted access to emails from President Joe Biden's time as vice president where he used a pseudonym.

Representative James Comer, chair of the committee, sent a letter to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) on Thursday seeking a number of documents including used pseudonyms including Robert Peters, Robin Ware, and JRB Ware.

The move comes amid House Republicans' ongoing probe into the business dealings of the president's son, Hunter Biden, and GOP allegations that the president was involved in those dealings.

"Joe Biden has stated there was 'an absolute wall' between his family's foreign business schemes and his duties as Vice President, but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family's influence peddling," Comer said in a statement on Thursday.

House Republicans are seeking documents and emails from Biden's time as vice president.

The White House has repeatedly denied that Biden had any involvement in Hunter Biden's business affairs and Republicans have struggled to produce a "smoking gun" tying the president to any wrongdoing.

Newsweek has reached out to the White House via email for comment. 

 

Sloan Bashinsky

Rich, Agreed, and ...How many times have I heard Republicans ignore Trump and say, "What about Hunter?", when, if they had a clue what their Bibles are about, they would be dispensing with Trump for their own souls' sakes. 

Rich 

Sloan, I agree completely. I hope to see Trump convicted AND charges brought against ALL politicians and bureaucrats who use their positions of power to enrich themselves at the expense of the American public.

I’m quick to call out those that excuse illicit activity and dismiss that behavior because they identify with the actors political affiliation.

It seems a large number of Americans fit into that category.

Sloan Bashinsky

Rich, including the current president re his son. No way Hunter made all that money in Ukraine, if his father wasn’t Obama’s V. P.

Paul

So Sloan, did it hurt when you hit your head?

Rich

Paul, Rather than use juvenile ad hominem attacks, why not give your opinion on what Hunter qualifications were to be on Burisma’s board, why Joe was using alias private email accounts to communicate with Hunters and his business associates, and who “The Big Guy” is that Hunter keep promising foreign nationals that he could provide access to?

Your wanting to sweep all of that under the rug and deflect attention away from it simply because they’re part of the Democratic Party is every bit as repugnant as the MAGA’s defense of Trump.

What you’re doing is exactly what these political elite are counting on to leverage so that they can get away with things that the average American would be convicted and sentenced for.

Does that fact completely escape you?

Rich

Sloan Bashinsky

Rich, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to discuss anything about a cult with a member of the cult. The Republican and MAGA and Democrat Parties, Antifa, Proud Boys, QAnon really are no different from any other secular or religious cults.

I do not assume, and would be an idiot to assume, Trump and his cults are not using code. 

https://www.vice.com/.../qanon-trump-mugshot-arrest-twitter

QAnon Is Absolutely Melting Down Over Trump’s Mugshot and Return to Twitter

QAnon Is Absolutely Melting Down Over Trump’s Mugshot and Return to Twitter Trump's QAnon followers are convinced, again, that a “storm is coming.”

Paul

Piss off Rich. I’ll worry about Hunter when he takes a couple of billion from a Saudi Prince or when he sets up shop in the West Wing. Prosecute the hell out of him for all I care …..but the media attention this is drawing is intentional misdirection from far more significant crimes of the GOP.

Paul

Sloan Bashinsky by what measure are American Democrats a cult? They rarely agree on anything? 

Let me know when you actually identify a membership or organizational structure for Antifa. I’m anti-fascist as all hell, as are most sane humans.

Your “both sides narrative” is total BS.

Sloan

Paul, That's the problem. You have zero chance of straightening out the American right, but you might reach some of the American left, since you are one of them, but, like the American right, you keep pointing your finger across the aisle. The American right is convinced it represents God and Jesus in America, but it seems to keep forgetting that Jesus said to first take the beam out of their own eye. That applies to the American left, as well.

Paul

Sloan, funny, but I point my finger at a criminal organization when I see one. I was a partisan Republican until Bush invaded Iraq. The party has since abandoned any pretense of supporting representative democracy. There is no analogue on the left. Stop smoking your own exhaust.

Sloan Bashinsky

Paul, You are living proof that you only see the side you want to see. Trump is fond of Hitler. He likes Putin. He bows to and borrows from Saudis, and his cult lemmings could give a shit. I thought Trump and Hillary Clinton both should be locked up in 2016. I watched Barack Obama accept the Nobel Prize for Peace while he continued waging the Bush-Cheney wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. His cult cheered, instead of throwing up. I watched President Biden repeatedly give Hunter his confidence and support. I have been dealing with cults for a very long time. You belong to one. Otherwise, you would be calling for Hunter and his father to be thoroughly investigated by the CIA and the FBI and the US Department of Justice. I happen to be a lawyer who once clerked for a US District Judge who presided over every federal prosecution in North Alabama.

Paul

I changed parties because I only see what I want to see? You know how totally fucked up you sound?

Sloan Bashinsky

If you wanted to see, you would not belong to a political party?

Tell the truth about ETs and Donald The Thug Chris Christie got this Independent's vote, and how to screw the drug cartels and the Mafia and make Uncle Sam a whole lot of money, and what the Hindu Goddess Kali and a south Alabama lady poet think about how men and pigs in mud think

    Once upon a time, south Alabama bayou belle Elizabeth, aka The Empress of Fantasia, gobsmacked me with one of her poems, which I felt deserved an Oscar, or at least a Pulitzer,  and was required to be read at the beginning of any political candidate debate.

“Pigs in mud” 

 

All want the security of the well fed pig.

Horror at the baseness unrecognized.

A lifetime spent in shirt stuffing.

And pen comparison.

Is truth more palatable when honeyed?

Is a stark soulscape less so with the eyes of Monet? 

May my affectations always be understood. 

Yesterday, Elizabeth posted at my Facebook page:

Empress

I want in on the Unicorn ticket. V.P. would look great on me. 

Feeling less priggish and more piggy today.

Me 

Besides spreading joy to all pigs in mud and those who can fly, what is something you, as V.P., think needs a new approach already hidden in plain view? For example, decriminalize and tax the shit outta illegal street drugs, like is done to the hugely popular legal street drugs booze and tobacco 😎. I wonder how the cartels and the Mafia would cotton to that? Would you need beefed up round the cock Secret Service protection?😎 Or would you just weave a protective spell that accidentally causes the cartels and the Mafia to feel they have been made an offer by God that they simply can't refuse, and they order everyone they know to vote the Unicorn ticket, regardless of where they live, if they know what's good for them.😎

 Meanwhile ...

    Kudos to to former New Jersey Governor, federal prosecutor, and Donald The Thug supporter Chris Christie, for saying during the Republican presidential candidate debate, sans The Thug, that the American public needs to know the truth about UFOs and The Thug. In that universe, Christie got this Independent's vote 😎.

'I get the UFO question?' New Jersey's Chris Christie promises honesty on aliens in 1st Republican presidential debate

By Jeff Spry

   August 24, 2023

UAPs and UFOs were a high-flying topic in last night's heated political discussions.

One of the last things you'd expect with stuffy politicians facing off in the first Republican Presidential Primary Debate is a discussion on the controversial subject of UFOs, or unidentified anomalous phenomena as they're now known, but that's exactly what happened last night.

The awkward moment in the debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Wednesday night (Aug. 23) featuring eight potential presidential candidates came when moderator Martha MacCallum took aim at former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to ask his opinion about a president's responsibility to provide the American public with the truth about the UFO topic.

"I get the UFO question?" Christie responded with a smile. Christie was a good sport about the unexpected topic that was specifically lobbed at him, being queried on his own thoughts regarding transparency with the country concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) in the wake of intriguing congressional hearings on the subject this past July.

"The job of the president of the United States is to level with the American people about everything. The job of the president of the United States is to stand for truth," Christie replied.

"Especially coming from a woman from New Jersey, I think it's horrible that just because I'm from New Jersey, you asked me about unidentified flying objects and Martians. We're different but we're not that different."

This New Jersey connection is in reference to Orson Welles' infamous Mercury Theatre radio broadcast of H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" back on October 30, 1938 when a panicking public believed that hostile Martian tripod machines were actually rampaging around the countryside near Grovers Mill, New Jersey.

The subject of UFOs or UAP has taken center stage in Washington, D.C. recently as federal agencies and even the Department of Defense have begun making public statements that seem to indicate pilots and other military personnel have been encountering anomalous objects that display advanced capabilities with increasing frequency.

The Department of Defense (DOD) even created an office known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office(AARO) in order to detect and identify UAP in American airspace. 

Despite cataloging hundreds of reports, the head of the office told members of the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services in April 2023 that AARO "has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology or objects that defy the known laws of physics."

Then, in July, a U.S. military and intelligence community veteran told a Congressional subcommittee that the American government is hiding a "multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program" and is in possession of "non-human spacecraft."

    Christie was showered with boos by the audience for his comments about The Thug:

New York Post

By Ryan King

August 23, 2023

Audience members jeered former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie when Fox News introduced him and the other seven candidates by name at Wednesday’s Republican primary debate — and again as he clashed with Vivek Ramaswamy early in the proceedings.
Christie has distinguished himself from his peers by positioning himself as an unapologetic critic of former President Donald Trump, which has alienated some corners of the party who remember his staunch endorsement of the former president in 2016.
The former Garden State governor seemed unmoved by the hostility.
“Here is the bottom line. Someone’s got to stop normalizing this conduct,” Christie said at the top of the debate’s second hour when asked about the criminal cases against Trump. “Whether or not you believe the criminal charges are right or wrong, the conduct is beneath the office of president of the United States.”
After another chorus of boos, the former federal prosecutor addressed the crowd directly.
“This is the great thing about this country,” he said. “Booing is allowed, but it doesn’t change the truth.”
At that point, the biotech entrepreneur spoke up.
“President Trump, I believe, was the best president of the 21st century,” said Ramaswamy, who suggested Christie was running for a contributor spot on MSNBC rather than for president. “Honest to God, your claim that Donald Trump is motivated by vengeance and grievance would be a lot more credible if your entire campaign were not based on vengeance and grievance against [him].”

From Wikipedia:

Christopher James Christie (born September 6, 1962) is an American politician, lawyer, and former federal prosecutor who served as the 55th governor of New Jersey from 2010 to 2018. A member of the Republican Party, he was the United States Attorney for New Jersey from 2002 to 2008. He is a candidate for President of the United States in the 2024 Republican primaries.

Born in Newark, New Jersey, Christie was raised in Livingston, New Jersey. After graduating in 1984 from the University of Delaware, he earned a J.D. at Seton Hall University School of Law. Christie was elected as a county freeholder (legislator) for Morris County, New Jersey, serving from 1995 to 1998. He worked for the campaigns of Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush; the latter appointed him U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, a position he held from January 2002 to December 2008. During his tenure, he oversaw the convictions of 130 public officials from both local and state levels.

Christie won the 2009 Republican primary for Governor of New Jerseyand defeated Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine in the general election. In his first term, he was credited with cutting spending, capping property tax growth and engaging in recovery efforts after Hurricane Sandy. He was re-elected by a wide margin in 2013, defeating State Senate Majority Leader Barbara Buono.^[1] Christie's second term saw multiple controversies, namely the Fort Lee lane closure and his various absences from the state.^[2][3] He chaired the Republican Governors Association during the 2014 campaign. On June 30, 2015, he announced his candidacy for the Republican nominationin the 2016 presidential election, but he suspended his candidacy six months later following a poor showing in the New Hampshire primary. Later, he endorsed eventual winner Donald Trump and was named head of Trump's transition planning team.^[4] His term as governor expired in 2018 and he registered as a lobbyist in 2020.^[5]

Christie was a close ally of Trump during his presidency, but later emerged as a harsh critic of Trump following Trump's refusal to accept his loss in the 2020 United States presidential election and the subsequent January 6 Capitol attack.^[6][7][8][9] On June 6, 2023, he announced his second presidential campaign for the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election.^[8]

    Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson seems to be a flaming anti-abortionist, but he also seems to be grown up and awoken about Trump and the Mexican border invasion, but he doesn't seem to have figured out how to get Mexico involved in stopping the invasion, by banning Americans and their dollars and America's airlines from going Mexico until Mexico stops the invasion.

KARK.com 

August 23, 2023

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson took to the debate stage in Milwaukee Wednesday night.

Hutchinson faced off against seven other candidates during the debate, covering topics like abortion, the economy, education and even former President Donald Trump.

“It is a most important issue for women, and for the unborn child, and for our country that we get this right,” Hutchinson stated. “Let’s talk about it in terms of compassion, in terms of protecting the life and also, understanding how we have to enhance adoption services, how we have to enhance maternal care.”

On crime, Hutchinson said the focus is on fentanyl trafficking and establishing a respect for the justice system.

“We have to have respect for our justice system and the rule of law and it starts at the top, with the president of the United States,” Hutchinson said.

After the candidates were asked if they would support the absent Trump as the party’s nominee even if he were convicted, Hutchinson was adamant in his stance against the former president, saying he was “morally disqualified” from being president again.

“Obviously I’m not going to support somebody who’s been convicted of a serious felony or who is disqualified under our constitution,” Hutchinson stated.

When the debate turned to the topic of cartels, Hutchinson said key strategies in dealing with them as president would be bringing in the Mexican government and securing the border.

“We cannot be successful against the cartel unless we bring in Mexico as a partner,” Hutchinson said.  “The rule of law matters on both sides of it.”

    Meanwhile, I wonder if FOX, Christie, Hutchinson, and the other Republican wannabe pigs in mud understood just how much free publicity and votes and money donations the debate generated for The Thug?

    Does the Thug clone candidate Vivek Ramaswamy ever wonder what his Hindu Goddess Kali thinks about him trying to be India's Bollywood Fantasy King, or perhaps Queen?

    Here's a Hindu artist's take on Kali standing on Shiva in front of a mob of angry half-naked women, showing the whole wide world what they think about how men think.
