"I need a man who..."

And so, he made a dictator.

Iowa Republicans consistently pick losers.

In 2008, they picked Mike Huckabee

in 2012, they picked Rick Santorum

In 2016, they picked Ted Cruz

in 1988, they picked Pat Robertson

Iowa is no big deal.

Back in 2017, I wrote an essay in the Forum called,

"Donald Trump Channels Eva Peron".

https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/23360-donald-trump-channels-eva-peron/#comment-342006

The thesis was that there are common elements that run through both. These are:

I am you and you are me.

Together, we fight the oligarchy.

God is on our side.

I would die for you.

Ergo

Will you die for me?

Today, Trump's supporters have been asked that ultimate question.

Heidi Stevens: In attempt to shield kids from sexual content, Florida school district bans dictionaries. Do better, grown-ups

https://nordot.app/1118273226940596289?c=592622757532812385

“A school district in Florida has made the bold and bewildering decision to ban dictionaries (dictionaries!) from its libraries on the grounds that allowing children to read them violates a law aimed at protecting children from sexual content.”

“The American Heritage Children's Dictionary, Webster's Dictionary for Students and Merriam-Webster's Elementary Dictionary are among more than 2,800 books that have been pulled from Escambia County school libraries and placed into storage,” Judd Legum reports in Popular Information. “Along with dictionaries, the books removed from Escambia County school libraries as a result of this process include eight different encyclopedias, two thesauruses and five editions of The Guinness Book of World Records.”

Escambria County is along the Gulf Coast, may 50 miles southeast of Mobile, AL.

Those poor children.

Trump said whoever ‘leaked’ info on his White House bunker stay should be ‘executed,’ new book claims

By Devan Cole, CNN Tue July 13, 2021

“Then-President Donald Trump told a number of his advisers in 2020 that whoever leaked information about his stay in the White House bunker in May of that year had committed treason and should be executed for sharing details about the episode with members of the press, according to excerpts of a new book, obtained by CNN, from Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender.“

““‘Whoever did that, they should be charged with treason!’ Trump yelled. ‘They should be executed!’” the book reads.”

Trump wanted Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, Mark Milley executed.

Wanting immunity for killing people is no idle threat.

NBC reporter fact-checks Trump at rally after ex-president 'cast shade on Abraham Lincoln'
By David McAfee January 6, 2024 
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-fact-checked-by-nbc-reporter-slavery/

"Donald Trump on Saturday was fact-checked live by a NBC News reporter who was attending the former president's Iowa rally.
Trump said at his rally that the Civil War, and therefore the existence of slavery as an institution, should have been "negotiated," instead of erupting in bloodshed. He also said that no one would have ever heard of Abraham Lincoln had he simply negotiated the conflict between slave states and non-slave states."

Boy, he and Nikki Haley are sure laying the groundwork for another Civil War, aren't they?

Trump warns of ‘big trouble’ as Supreme Court agrees to hear Colorado ballot case

by Nick Robertson - 01/06/24

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4392902-trump-warns-big-trouble-as-scotus-agrees-hear-colorado-case/

The Supreme Court is set to hear the Colorado case after the state’s Supreme Court determined last month that Trump should not be on the primary ballot due to his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

“I just hope we get fair treatment,” Trump said at an Iowa rally Friday. “Because if we don’t, our country’s in big, big trouble. Does everybody understand what I’m saying?”

Add the Supreme Court to his lit.

Is there anybody in this country that Trump hasn't threatened?

Joe,

That's why I have such a hard time swallowing the whole whirlwind romance and marriage story of them in Russia in 1961. They met and were married within three weeks was it?

I don't think so.

Remember the story of them taking seperate vacations over in Russia back in October of 1961?  What newlywed couple does that six months after they get married?

Then, when the get to the U.S. in May or June of 1962, they are already separated by November and Marina is living with other people.

No, things were not rosy in Hooterville.

And God made Trump

The MAGA hoax goes on for another two minutes, with one of the most incredible segments saying, "[God said] I need someone … [to] come home hungry, have to wait until the First Lady is done with lunch with friends, then tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon, and mean it. So God gave us Trump," while showing Melania stumbling out of her luncheon as if she's drunk, only to be saved by Trump, who catches her and escorts her home via a private jet.

And one of the big surprises is that Trump moonlights as a midwife, with the narrator disclosing that he was "gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild."

Other farcical lines include: "I need someone… who can make money from the tar of the sand, turn liquid to gold…" and "who will finish his 40-hour week by Tuesday at noon, but then put another 72 hours. So God made Trump," and finally, "… finish a hard-week's work by attending church on Sunday."

Whew!

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the two suicide bombings in Iran.

The news article I read said that. "The group posted a statement on its affiliate Telegram channels."

I haven't read their statement, so I don't know what the reasoning is.

This surprises me. I didn't know that the Islamic State was anti-Iranian.

Donald Trump Might Be Completely Changing His Legal Strategy

B Sean O'Driscoll Jan 01, 2024

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-insurrection-act-january-6-congress-chutkan-1856909

“Donald Trump has shared a social media post that claims he tried to activate the Insurrection Act during the January 6 riot in the Capitol Building,...

“The post on the social media site Truth Social claims that Trump was prevented from announcing his use of the act by Twitter, now rebranded as X, which was allegedly deleting his tweets on January 6.”

Yup. I’m going to conduct domestic policy and declare martial law on Twitter.

Except big old bad meanie Twitter won’t let me.

Trump is going on trial up on January 29th in New York, I think.

It's not for what you think though.

This involves a bunch of investors who sank a lot of money into a video phone company that Trump was hawking on the Apprentice TV show.

He said that he had hands on experience with the product, had done a lot or research into it and didn't have any monetary interest i it; none of which was true.

He hadn't used it, hadn't done any research into it and was being paid millions of dollars by the company under the table  to hawk their product.

It turned out to be a piece of junk and people who had invested money into it based on his say so, lost their shirts..

What a surprise
