I got to wondering this morning where they could incarcerate Donald Trump that could withstand a prolonged siege by a mob the size of the January 6th riot.

I thought about Guantanamo Bey, or maybe Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas, where they incarcerated some of the Lincoln assassination conspirators

Yes, David, talk about your schadenfreude.

 

I mean, when was Trump ever specific about LGBTQ, drag shows, BLM, CRT?  The border wall and "s---hole countries" were as close as he ever got to the race issue.  (Remind me if I'm substantially wrong on any of these - I wasn't expecting a quiz, though I ought to have.) 

"As non-specific as a UTI," I said elsewhere - and it seems to be leading to an unplanned obsolescence in 2024.  God help us if he ramps it up for the campaign, rising to the challenge of DeSantis.

This is not a 2nd Amendment issue, I support the 2nd Amendment.

This is about the lack of regulation of weapons of mass destruction, and the blocking of such regulation by Republican ghouls that are bought and paid for.

Jury Reviews Role of Pecker in Trump's Stormy Daniels Affair

Former National Enquirer Publisher David Pecker Testifies Again in Trump Inquiry

March 27, 2023

     The grand jury investigating a hush-money case against the former president met again on Monday, but the timing of any potential indictment remained unclear.
     The former publisher of The National Enquirer, David Pecker, testified on Monday before the Manhattan grand jury hearing evidence about Donald J. Trump’s role in a hush-money payment to a porn star, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
     The publisher, David Pecker, also testified in January, soon after the grand jury was impaneled by the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg. The grand jury has heard from at least nine witnesses — including Mr. Pecker, who has gone in twice — and is expected to vote on an indictment soon.
     Mr. Pecker, who was seen leaving the building where the grand jury sits at about 3:30 Monday afternoon, was a key player in the hush-money episode. He and the tabloid’s top editor helped broker the deal between the porn star, Stormy Daniels, and Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s fixer at the time.

I don’t know about the US but, in the UK, HM Customs & Revenue have a relatively good public reputation. I came across this;

Are the IRS unpopular because they are too small or not well funded enough, as Yellen suggests?

I have a social media page.

On my social media page, there is a picture of me cutting my wife up with a chainsaw and feeding her into a wood chipper. Alongside the picture is some text calling my wife an animal.

I didn't put that picture up. Somebody else did it.

And even if I did, I was only promoting American-made chainsaws and wood chippers made in America.

And besides, it's all the Fake News media's fault because they don't like me and are masters of disinformation.
