Dixcus said...: Trump must now do the nasty wet work: The Biden Crime Family have been committing felony money laundering (we'll get into ActBlue later) ... hiding proceeds of their bribery network in order to avoid the IRS taxing that money. They have committed felony tax evasion - including President Biden. They MUST be prosecuted so that Americans know that nobody - not even a President - is above the law.

I doubt he will do it: Trump is a sucker and he's easily played (see Hillary Clinton). He is not a gangster and that is what is required. It will cost him his life.

Trump needs to surround himself with people who not only know where the bodies are buried, but who are willing to put more in the ground.; 11/9/24, 6:05 PM

Just like “lock her up,” which he dropped as soon as elections were over, he will drop investigations of the Bidens in the name of national unity.; 11/9/24, 6:25 PM
Dixcus said...: It will be interesting to watch. Trump did relax his position on Hillary. But then the FBI started riffling through his wife's panty drawer. They almost got him into Epstein's murder cell. They almost took half a billion dollars from him.

Then they shot him in the head.

I wonder if he's butched up any?; 11/9/24, 6:29 PM

My wife once asked me when did I feel happiest? Upon consideration, I responded when I wept. An admittedly strange answer, I explained that it was not grief, but the overwhelming surfeit of emotion that I experienced with certain triggers of emotional, perhaps sentimental, love. It was when I felt much alive.

One time while I was at work, my wife phoned me as she was at home watching An Affair to Remember (a film we had often viewed together).. She put the phone next to the TV as the scene played of Cary Grant discovering the painting of Deborah Kerr. She knew precisely how I would respond…and I did.

I know it's not me or the water because I have 2 year old decaf Lipton in the pantry, and other than tasting like it's 2 years old, it tastes great.

MadTownGuy said...: Escaped monkeys update: They're ‘having an adventure’

"Authorities in South Carolina gave an update Friday after 43 monkeys escaped from a primate research facility earlier this week.

Officials said the monkeys, who were bred for medical research, have been spotted in the woods near the site and workers are using food to try to recapture them.

"They are very social monkeys, and they travel in groups, so when the first couple go out the door, the others tend to just follow right along," Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard told CBS News.

Westergaard said his main goal is to have the monkeys returned safely with no other problems.

"I think they are having an adventure," he said.

The Rhesus macaques made a break for it Wednesday after an employee at the Alpha Genesis facility in Yemassee didn't fully lock a door as she fed and checked on them, officials said.

According to police, the primates are all very young females weighing 6-7 pounds. They’ve never been used for testing because of their age, and they’re too young to carry disease.

[snip]

Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center is "one of the largest and most comprehensive nonhuman primate facilities, designed specifically for monkeys, in the United States," according to its website. It also oversees a colony of more than 3,000 monkeys on Morgan Island, known as Monkey Island, off the South Carolina coast.

In 2018, the U.S. Department of Agriculture fined Alpha Genesis $12,600 in part after officials said 26 primates escaped from the Yemassee facility in 2014 and an additional 19 got out in 2016.

The company's fine was also issued because of individual monkey escapes as well as the killing of one monkey by others when it was placed in the wrong social group, according to a report from the USDA."

🚨#BREAKING: Thousands protesters and Immigrants are marching and protesting of Donald Trump’s election to 47th President of the United States of America

📌#Manhattan | #NewYork

At this time, New York City law enforcement is actively monitoring as thousands of immigrants, protesters, and supporters march through the streets of Midtown Manhattan. Rallying against fascism, mass deportation, anti-trans hate, and systemic oppression, the demonstrators express serious concerns about the recent election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. Holding signs and chanting slogans like, 'Racist, sexist, anti-gay,' they emphasize solidarity in the fight against perceived threats to marginalized communities.

Saint Croix said...: Biden's internal polls showed Trump winning 400 electoral votes against Biden.

Anonymous Biden insider says, "internal polling never showed him down 400.”

Aside from the anonymity, that's a non-denial denial. If Trump got 400 electoral votes, Biden would have 138. So he was only down 262.

Reagan in 1984 got the record: 525.
FDR 1936: 523
Nixon 1972: 520
Reagan 1980: 489
LBJ 1964: 486
FDR 1932: 472
Eisenhower 1956: 457
Roosevelt 1940: 449
Hoover 1928: 444
Eisenhower 1952: 442

So if Trump got 400, he wouldn't even crack the top 10. Still, the polling was bad enough that it (finally) chased Biden out of the race.; 11/10/24, 6:29 AM
