YGAFI, private sleuth on the case.
Our comic book hero will save the world from the evil Dr Biden and his Ministry of truth.

YGAFI’s truth can be found in the Inquisition Credo

The 1578 edition of the Directorium Inquisitorum (a standard Inquisitorial manual) spelled out the purpose of inquisitorial penalties: … quoniam punitio non refertur primo & per se in correctionem & bonum eius qui punitur, sed in bonum publicum ut alij terreantur, & a malis committendis avocentur (translation: “… for punishment does not take place primarily and per se for the correction and good of the person punished, but for the public good in order that others may become terrified and weaned away from the evils they would commit”).

Alright, I just looked up gfym and you know what? You’re done. No discussion with the other mod or anything, because you are a vulgar troll, who doesn’t post anything which contributes to the conversation. If you can’t even do an appropriate handle, in accordance to the rules, after being told twice, then you can’t do anything else in compliance to the rules.

I haven’t looked that up, but it looks as though it would be better than what he did change it too. He’s one who needs the reply, “Yo mama!” Just because of his abbreviated sayings.

Stupidity and trolls and viciousness and more stupidity, piled on sociopathy
now that’s the trump spirit,
The MAGA IDIOCRACY Movement.

Which begs the question:

Wait till these pea brained crazies see their Führer fully exposed and behind bars, that’s when the real fun happens.

Seem to me a spoiled trump in diapers, with gold safety pins, having a tantrum pretty well sums up the complete essence not just of the trump but of his MAGA movement in general.
IT HAS NOTHING TO WITH MAKING AMERICA “GREAT”,
IT ABOUT A INSANE DESIRE TO MAKE ONESELF THE GREATEST,
WHEN THERE’S NO GREATNESS THERE TO BEGIN WITH,
JUST A GREEDY BLOWHARD AND HIS GREEDY PALS EQUALLITY BLOWHARD SOCIOPATHS.

What’s it they say: You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow ear.

And now we have a wing-nut-MAGAt-wannabe politician calling for the destruction of the Georgia Guidestones. (Kandiss Taylor, 4% of vote in Repug Primary for GA Gov)
And guess what!
One or some of the MAGAt cult blew it up.

And I just found this:>

Memes showing former President Donald Trump “bombing” the Georgia Guidestones appeared on his own social media platform days before the monument was attacked, a report says.

The photoshopped image featuring Mr Trump cropped up on Truth Social on 2 July – four days before the mysterious 19-foot granite monument was damaged in an explosion.

272

Caught some of day 7 of Jan 6 hearings. They had two guys who trespassed the capitol, and have since recanted their support for Trump. One said he did his own research and realized Guilianni was lying. Just what conspiracy theorist says you should do!!

273

I think this is pretty good.

Trump’s vision of the future

1984: A Dystopia

Playhouse Theatre London Adaptation of 1984

1984 is a novel of a dark and threatening future, and Big Brother’s slogans keep its masses of people under control by use of three party slogans: “War is peace,” “Freedom is slavery,” and “Ignorance is strength.” That reminds the reader, as Orwell certainly intended it to, of the Nazi party in World War II Germany. The Nazis had a number of party slogans with which it dulled the minds of the people: if someone gives you a slogan to chant, you don’t have to think about the implications. You just chant.

Who Wrote the History?

This specific quote of Orwell’s has​ an additional meaning to people who study the past, in that scholars need to recognize that whoever wrote a history book likely had an agenda, an agenda that might involve making one group look better than another. Up until recently, only a few people were able to publish and be widely read. That was certainly true in the mid-20th century: only governments and government-supported businesses had the money to publish textbooks and determine what was in them. At the time, government-sponsored textbooks were just about the only way a high school student could learn anything about the past. Today we do have the Internet, with lots of people giving lots of different opinions, but we still need to ask questions of anything we read: who is behind the information? Who is it that wishes us to be manipulated?

275

Back to the real world in 2022, the evidence tells a heck of a story.

How are Americans going to process all of this stuff?

Donald Trump only turned to his plan to summon MAGA supporters to D.C. on Jan. 6th, which grew into the criminal insurrection, after the failure of other plots to steal the election. MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber charts exactly how Trump shifted to embrace that Jan. 6 plan, and how new the details add to evidence of actual, “criminal intent” by Trump and his aides – a requirement for any indictment and criminal trial. Melber documents eight different plots to overturn the 2020 election for this MSNBC Special Report, “Inside Trump’s Election Plot.”

The original special, broadcast after the conclusion of the Congressional hearings into Jan. 6, draws on government evidence, testimony, primary documents, independent reporting, and some of Melber’s own newsmaking interviews with participants, subjects and one indicted White House aide, Peter Navarro, to show how the effort to overturn the election reflected an attempted conspiracy over several months – and not only the narrower set of events surrounding January 6, 2021.

The distinction could prove pivotal to any criminal conspiracy case against the exposed election plots. (This is the first excerpt from the Special Report; a second excerpt of the conclusion is also available online.)

Some backstory,

=================================

It’s a full force fire hose of atrocities against the American government with it pluralist society intentions. But ignoring it, and not engaging it will only empower the ultimate success of this long term, ongoing hostile takeover attempt upon our government by super rich sociopaths, with power to spare. That’s why we the people really ought to stop squandering ours.

The end, our world won’t come in a flash, it’ll sneak in one day at a time, one crisis at a time, continue ignore reality will only speed the process.

277

The horrible truth is that they would not need to do anything. Remember, Trump was president at that time. Without an official transfer, he would have remained president by default.

As Commander in Chief, he then declares Martial law and imposes a “temporary” curfew until “order is restored”, and we have a dictatorship.

I’m not sure if we appreciate how close it came to succeeding, now that more and more disturbing facts are coming to light, Trump had people everywhere in positions of authority. We would have hardly noticed the difference.

278

If memory serves, there were leaks or other hints of at least some of these plots in the media at the time. Unless I’m suffering from the Mandela Effect.

279

Anarchy, Chaos, Insanity … grey lines.

Walker earned the support of 77% of Republicans; 10% of Republican respondents crossed over to support Warnock over Walker in the survey.

As in the “52 States” Walker
the “our good air decides to float over to China’s bad air,” Walker
the “U of GA Graduate” (not) ,
the “FBI Agent” (not) Walker
… is still supported by more than 3/4 of a certain political party.

Raphael Warnock has a nine-point lead over Herschel Walker in the Georgia Senate race, while Brian Kemp and Stacey Abrams are in a close contest for governor: poll (yahoo.com)

I don’t think that’s accurate.

President Trump’s term ends on Jan. 20 – the Constitution is clear

Published: October 20, 2020 8.20am EDT •Updated: January 6, 2021
theconversation.com

" The framers of the Constitution did not establish a specific day that presidential terms end, but they were very clear that the president “shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years.” Not four years and a day. Not three years and 364 days. Four years."

“… Nevertheless, every four years thereafter, for more than 140 years, presidents began their term – whether a first or second one – on March 4 because Congress established it as Inauguration Day in 1792 and never changed it.”

I admit, I don’t know for sure, still, at least that’s what Donald Nieman Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, Binghamton University, State University of New York, had to share. I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Did he offer an answer to who would become president?

And A president can serve two terms . This would have been Trump’s second term, basically a continuation from the first and he had a lot of installed croonies supporting him. Perhaps the law is not quite clear enough and Trump has never honored tradition or the law .

He just takes and dares you to take it back.

282

Actually, they can potentially serve 2 1/2, maybe 3 terms. How? If one is VP and the Pres dies or cannot fulfill his/her duties for whatever reason, that VP become president and can serve two more terms after he finishes out the last president’s term.

If trump had actually won the election, and GOPers eventually got majority in house and senate, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to abolish the two-term limit.

But since they lost, they were trying to subvert the laws and rules anyways. I don’t think two terms would have stopped him.

Your last sentence is spot-on for a lot of dictators/megalomaniacs … Putin.
