    ***Official Jack Smith Thread***

    https://x.com/DilanianMSNBC/status/1983886814239764854 The National Review's @AndrewCMcCarthy: "The top priority of the Trump Justice Department, with help from other administration components and Trump allies on Capitol Hill, is to craft a revisionist history of the scandal arising from Trump’s attempt to undo his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election. This principally involves inculcating the syllogism that, because some Democratic lawfare efforts against Trump were bogus (e.g., the Alvin Bragg and Letitia James cases in New York), all Democratic-led investigations of Trump must have been bogus. The main targets of this revisionist history are the two federal investigations — the J6 and the Mar-a-Lago documents cases — that were manifestly based on significant misconduct and abuses of power."
  2. Probably misleadingly edited clips taken out of context. The Daily Caller has a history of running with false news stories, so any video from them is highly suspect as far as truthfullness is concerned.
  3. The Daily Caller is not considered a legitimate news source by anyone but the MAGA crowd.

    US Federal Government Shutdown Thread

    Better to go down fighting, doing the right thing as a matter of principle. rather than throw in the towel like Chamberlian did and hope for the best.

    US Federal Government Shutdown Thread

    And how many folks will lose or won't be able to afford their healthcare as a result? And Chamberlain is applicable IMO because compromise or appeasement doesn't work with a dictator.

    US Federal Government Shutdown Thread

    Tim, you want the Democrats to do a Neville Chamberlain and capitulate hoping that Republicans will keep there promise will be willing to discuss keeping Obamacare after the government shutdown is over, but that won't happen.
  7. Not fake news as is alleged in above post. Link to NYT article which I just found a gift link to from a subscriber. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/us/politics/utah-trump-homeless-campus.html?unlocked_article_code=1.xE8.Tl0v.9AsqLxWd-Cq0&smid=url-share In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape To glimpse the future of homelessness policy in the age of President Trump, consider 16 acres of scrubby pasture on the outskirts of Salt Lake City where the state plans to place as many as 1,300 homeless people in what supporters call a services campus and critics deem a detention camp. State planners say the site, announced last month after a secretive search, will treat addiction and mental illness and provide a humane alternative to the streets, where afflictions often go untreated and people die at alarming rates. They also vow stern measures to move homeless people to the remote site and force many of them to undergo treatment, reflecting a nationwide push by some conservatives for a new approach to homelessness, one embraced and promoted by Mr. Trump. With outdoor sleeping banned, removal to the edge of town may become the only way some homeless Utahns can avoid jail. Planners say the facility will also hold hundreds of mentally ill homeless people under court-ordered civil commitment and the effort will include an “accountability center” for those with addictions. “An accountability center is involuntary, OK — you’re not coming in and out,” Randy Shumway, chairman of the state Homeless Services Board, said in an interview. Utah will end a harmful “culture of permissiveness,” he said, and guide homeless people “towards human thriving.” While the Utah effort began before Mr. Trump’s return to office, it mirrors his pledge to move the homeless from urban cores to “tent cities” with services. And it accelerated after Mr. Trump issued an executive order in July, calling for strict camping bans and expanded power to involuntarily treat homeless people. Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican, quickly praised Mr. Trump’s order and told Utah planners to follow it. Critics of the new plan say that confining people to a site on the city’s outskirts threatens civil liberties and warn that the promised services may not materialize. The efforts coincide with deep cuts to Medicaid, which could thwart the project’s financing. “I’m super anxious about it,” said Jen Plumb, a physician and Democratic state senator who calls the promise of high-quality medical care “pie in the sky.” Utah already has a severe shortage of psychiatric beds, she noted. The legislature is unlikely to fund hundreds of new beds, she said, and even if it did, there is no work force to staff them. Without enormous new spending, she said, the center could function less as a treatment facility than “a prison or a warehouse.” [...]

    Trump's Cognitive Decline and Health

    That was alleged in this forum numerous times with links to dubious right wing sites, but was debunked by fact checkers.
  11. Well...if you think that isn't true, then why don't you start using it again to my posts in the FFA and see what the reaction is.

    SNAP

    The latest from my friend Grok: U.S. Shutdown Risks SNAP Cutoff for 42 Million as Trump Withholds $6 Billion Funds Last updated 9 minutes ago The U.S. government shutdown, now in its fifth week, endangers Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for 42 million Americans, including 16 million children, with funds set to expire Saturday. Republicans accuse Senate Democrats of blocking a House-passed funding resolution 13 times, while Democrats claim President Donald Trump is illegally withholding $6 billion in congressionally appropriated contingency funds. States like California have joined a lawsuit against the administration, and Washington is allocating $2.2 million weekly to food banks amid surging demand.
  13. No it didn't. Joe B. told you specifically to stop using that nickname and you quit using it at FBGs after that (because it is not just shorting squistion and adding a "y" which would be squisy, instead, as several folks pointed out to you, it is a blend of squistion and sissy.

    ***Official Jack Smith Thread***

    https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/trump-lashes-out-at-jan-6-prober-jack-smith-in-new-rant-demands-he-be-thrown-in-prison/ Trump Lashes Out at Jan. 6 Prober Jack Smith in New Rant — Demands He Be Thrown in ‘Prison’ President Donald Trump lashed out at former Special Counsel Jack Smith over his investigation into election crimes and the events of January 6, 2021, demanding “prison” for Smith and his investigators. Prior to being elected to a second term, Trump faced dozens of criminal counts in the Smith-led classified documents case and the January 6 case, but after the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling and Trump’s victory in the 2024 election Smith dropped the charges and resigned as special counsel. But since then, Trump and Republicans have pursued a campaign to scandalize Smith’s investigations, making false and misleading claims about the conduct of an operation to investigate January 6 and the attempt to overturn the election, code-named “Arctic Frost.” As Trump neared the end of his Asia trip Wednesday, he posted a new rant about Smith’s probe in which he attacked Smith as a “criminal” and referred to him and his team as “thugs” who belong in “prison”: Trump linked to an article detailing allegations made by the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee. Smith, for his part, has responded to a Judiciary Committee by offering, through his attorneys, to testify in public. “Given the many mischaracterizations of Mr. Smith’s investigation into President Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents and role in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Mr. Smith respectfully requests the opportunity to testify in open hearings before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees,” Smith’s attorneys wrote. Smith is just the latest in a list of Trump nemeses who have been targeted since he re-took office. Public pronouncements like these have preceded criminal indictments in several recent cases.

    Newsoulini thinks having election monitors is RIGGING the election

    That would be the purpose, to discourage people from going to the polls, particularly minorities who might fear ICE agents even though they are US citizens.
