A jury in September found Routh guilty of trying to kill the president at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sept. 15, 2024.

"To merely have a weapon in the presence of another is not intent," said Routh, who fired his attorneys ahead of the trial and had represented himself.

Gomez Addams said it best:

The least offensive thing he did was sleep with an underage student(girl his hands are on) while he was her high school teacher and resign mid semester to avoid consequences?

The blackface is irrelevant, teachers screwing students …… not so much

Unfortunately for your argument, that claim has been repeatedly debunked (even the National Post, a right leaning news print, says so). In more verifiable Trudeau fashion, he once said “people experience things differently” when confronting allegations of groping a woman.

But the old saying goes, where there’s smoke there’s fire. Right now it seems like Trump and cronies could be in a Cheech and Chong movie for all the smoke in the air.

I think most Americans are too independent, and we enjoy the freedom of that independence through our cars and trucks......its in our DNA....I don't think that other than in large metro areas...mass transit will not be a sell to peasants like myself.

Freedom can also be defined of what one can live without or doesn`t need to have. Materialism can also inslave people. In US freedom is oftens defined in consuming. The more I can buy the more free I am. However creditcard dept speak their numbers that a lot of people live beyond their means or just trying to get by.

I remember a Nigerian minister that was in the US raising money for some of his church ministries sitting with my father having a conversation probably 45 years ago…

He told my father that he was a slave… and went further to say that every American he had met was a slave…

When asked what he meant… we’re in the land of the free and the home of the brave after all… he went on to explain that the typical West African kid wakes up and is genuinely happy if for no other reason than he is alive… that it takes very little for truly poor people to find joy… they will find it in even the smallest blessings…

Americans are slaves to “stuff”… we can’t find joy without amassing “things”…

I’ve kept that thought with me my entire adult life…

He wasn’t entirely wrong…

Most people in the US are definitely slaves to materialistic things and entitlement issues.

The more you have and acquire, comes with more expense, responsibilities and headaches, not to mention their is always someone trying to take it away from you.

My daily driver at the ranch and in town is an old rusted out 1978 Ford F250 ranch truck with 400K on it. I find in a small town it is better to appear broke and be underestimated.

From traveling and missions that our church supports, I can assure you that people with less are happier and have a stronger faith than us.

The rural people (very rural) in Nepal were the most content and happy people I’ve met.

During one stint. I was there for a couple months. For comparison. A young Nepalese man was chiseling stone into square blocks for building houses. He then delivered them 11 miles in the mountains with a wooden pack and woven un-padded shoulder straps. He was paid the equivalent of $15 per month.

When I got home. In stark contrast a guy earning hundreds of thousands per year was complaining to me about his weekend. All his trials and tribulations hooking up and hauling his huge camper up north for the weekend.

So here we have this guy that has a miniature version on wheels of his house and a miniature version of everything in his house. To haul to a separate location set up for a weekend and then come back home. That’s the amount of luxury We have here and he complained about the whole weekend. All I could think about were the people I just left. and how happy and content they were.


They were grateful for what they had

Fulton county Georgia is filing a lawsuit over the FBI raid that confiscated 700 boxes of ballots.
They claim that the raid was illegal for breaking the chain of custody.

If there is nothing to hide, then they should have nothing to worry about.

The concern for me is the govt will "adjust" the evidence the FBI seized to support Trump's silly stolen election nonsense.

Lawsuit filed because the boxes aren't in THEIR custody.

More pettiness from the Coward in Chief abusing his authority. Just can't take criticism. What a baby. And him calling Sen Kelley a "seditious traitor" after what Trump said and did during the January 6th riot is pot calling the kettle black.

Judge presses DOJ lawyers for a precedent for Pentagon to punish Sen. Mark Kelly over video

So, let me get this straight, the same FBI that you think should prosecute Trump when you think he done did all da bad during Jan 6, Russian Collusion, etc., is the same FBI that you now believe will tamper with evidence to help Trump?

Just want to make sure I've got that right.

I find your belief in magic, soothsaying and delusions of grandeur quite touching.

I have a similar comment from Africa.

When we were in Tanzania, one of the local guides commented that he wanted to live in America.

I asked why?

He said he wanted to live some place where there was so much food that even poor people were fat.

That comment really puts life priorities in context and has stayed with me.

Recordings of Epstein advising former Israeli PM Ehud Barak on how to approach hedge fund owners such as Peter Thiel of Palantir and others.

Also clips of Thiel on Joe Rogan's podcast where he(Thiel) talks about how he came in contact with Epstein who was supposed to be some tax avoidance savant and he knew about the first pedo conviction before they met.

Also shows pics of Barak entering Epstein's NYC apartment in disguise the same day when multiple young women enter Epstein's apartment and then they go on to discussing the future of Israel.
