Per Word, it's exactly 1200 words. If you divide that by 2, you get 600. Then, since everything is divisible by 3, divide 600 by 3 and you get 200. Finally, take 200 and, because we've divided by 2 and then by 3, it's clear we should divide 200 by 60.06 (for obvious symmetrical reasons) and we get 3.33, which is then multiplied by 200 (the last page count) and we get... 666. This proves you are the devil. It's all so simple. Expect to be contacted by Jimmy Comer's office anytime now for a full investigation, perhaps including a subpoena.

Amy 0415's avatar

Here is my concern with all of this: It was entirely predictable, Trump constantly fabricates the truth to absurd degrees and if all else fails, blames Democrats.

He also strong-arms his opponents. My question: What threat does he use that is so effective? What has he done in the past or present that makes it so easy to turn these people around? They know he will come after them. Why do they bother?

I have always felt that Trump, like the Mafia vis-a-vis Roy Cohn, threatens harm to families, children etc., in addition to careers, sabotaged primaries, etc. It’s the only way he gets this kind of immediate compliance.

And is there anything far-fetched about this? I don’t think so. He is amoral, as are the people surrounding him. He is capable of anything, and everyone needs to see and accept this.

Amy 0415's avatar

True, but many, even those who are firmly anti-Trump, still do not believe that he would go so far as to threaten injury or death, especially to someone’s family. Yet, it takes only one phone call to turn someone around 180 degrees. When I started saying this during Trump 1, it was called a far left crazy liberal fantasy. I am constantly amazed at how incredulous Sarah Longwell sounds on The Bulwark, when George Conway tries to spell these things out to her and broadly hint that we are on the knife’s edge of major violence and revolution.

We live in a dreamworld democracy. It is not real. Upon waking, people will see that our government, formed almost 250 years ago, is crumbling. In its place sits a narcissistic, immature, non-empathetic dictator, who directs how every American lives the only life he or she will ever have.

3dEdited

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is far and away the most likely diagnosis. I would assume he’s wearing compression socks to try to hide it. Even with that there appears to be a significant amount of fluid (edema) in his legs and feet. This would correlate with level 3 CHF, 4 being the worst. Up to 60% of CHF patients also have atrial fibrillation (AF) and take blood thinners. Bet that’s a bruise he’s trying to hide on his hand

Expand full comment
Mingo's avatar
3dEdited

I'm going go with your theory and adding to it. I think besides the CHF he may have right sided heart failure due to the right ankle is more swollen than the left. He may even have pulmonary hypertension which also affects the right side of the heart. Some of this could be attributed to untreated Obstructive Sleep Apnea which can lead to atrial fibrillation and blood clots. He had the first version of COVID which attacked the vascular system leaving many patients suffering from blood clots. Personally I think he's an obese slug that treated his body as a garbage dump instead of a temple. Yep, it's a bruise with a bad make-up job.

Expand full comment
MARY's avatar
3dEdited

The edema in CHF is from less venous blood returning to the heart. The veins carrying the blood returning from the legs coalesce into the vena cava and return to the right side of the heart through the same vein. So same ultimate backflow pressure in both legs. The right leg does look more swollen. I would LOVE to lay eyes on his Echo Cardiogram ( heart size and blood flow ultrasound)

Another definition to consider: Perhaps there was technically nothing labelled "client list," making it easily deniable by Trump, etc. But there seems to have been an "address book." It is referred to in many places. It is that book which likely holds the keys.

No, the "thousands" of videos would be better.

The Epstein List/Files have riled up Chris Cuomo, he professes that "I don't believe this administration is covering up for Trump. Those pictures online with him and young girls -- it's fake. I've never seen proof that ties Trump to Epstein. I actually find Trump's position on Epstein to be pretty reasonable".

Does anyone want to speculate on who he would be trying to cover up for?

Once reasonable people who cross over to the MAGATY side don’t realize how FUCKING STOOPID they sound. I mean, really Cuomo?

There must be some amazing kompramant (is that how you spell it?) on these republicans who voted against what the majority of their constituents want.

Nothing makes any sense anymore.

Kompromat. Close enough.

I don't think it's that complicated. The God King doesn't want it released, they vote to not release it. Why does that not make sense?

I read from a poster that the hand thing is possibly caused from Coumadin (a blood thinner) bruising so heart failure is def a possibility.

Kay-el let's hope it's heart failure. I hope he's dead soon. I'm going to have a wild party when he's underground . I hate that son if a bitch.

Dead yes, soon no. We will best be served if he steadily declines to become unmistakably weak and pathetic, to the point his handlers will no longer be able to hide it.

At some point, they'll have to replace him either way. If he dies, here's Vance. Too hard to handle, 25th amendment, here's Vance. Don't want to ostracize the base? Assassination, and here's Vance. We're fucked until we can find Democratic candidates that can win in Republican strongholds

I'm not saying that Vance is not a loathsome option here. However, he is not a force of nature, he's not supernatural like Trump is. He's an empty suit run by remote control from Silicon Valley. He also has the personality of a cardboard box.

He's a problem, but he's a different problem than the one we have now, one that will require a new conversation. The Dems will remain the same kind of ineffectual shit they are now.

All the more reason for us to drag this thing out with Trump slowly circling the drain, sucking the life and brains out of MAGAland.

I also wonder whether Couchfucker Magee has the chops to hold the MAGATS together. He is devoid of personality and doesn’t have Shitler’s charisma.

A series of strokes is another possibility, along with genetic factors for dementia. In any case, given the moral and intellectual wreckage holding power in our government, he will finish out his term even as a babbling invalid.
