Trump should receive the same "fairness" given to Bobby Seale in Chicago in 1968.

For those too young to remember, here's a tidbit from wikipedia

"Seale was one of the eight people charged by the US federal government with conspiracy charges related to anti-Vietnam War protests in Chicago, Illinois, during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Seale's appearance in the trial was widely publicized and Seale was bound and gagged for his appearances in court more than a month into the trial for what Judge Julius Hoffman said were disruptions."

Everyone should read Project 2025. Especially chapter 3 on staffing the executive branch, chapter 28 on the FCC (say goodbye to freedom of speech), and chapter 29 on the Federal Election Commission.

I have written a series of posts on my feed Polytricks. Each post covers a chapter or so, and consists of excerpts from the given chapter. No commentary by me is given, as I believe the excerpts speak for themselves. If you haven't the time (or the stomach) to read the project in its entirety, consider checking out these posts.

Thanks Munchy for the link. Everyone should be aware of the proposals of the project.

Absolutely, anyone planning to vote this fall needs to be exposed to what is in that 900 pg document & the vast majority of people will not have the time, ability, or inclination to do that. Having people such as yourself to present it in digestible bites is super important.

I realize there is massive competition for eyeballs & subscriptions on this & all other platforms, but I want to promote another writer who is also doing what you are, the more voices the better.

Andra Watkins has a unique viewpoint on the content since she was raised & indoctrinated in the Christian Nationalist movement & that community’s strong belief in the superiority of Old Testament Biblical Law is foundational in that document

I apologize for not knowing how to link her Substack, I’ll just give the title: How Project 2025 Will Ruin YOUR Life.

I have been reading her articles for a while & they are powerful, & now I will also be reading & promoting your articles.

I’ve also been urging the msm to start devoting more airtime to Project 2025.

The person who self-immolated was clearly mentally ill; we will never know for sure but can assume he was making a statement that was rational —- only to himself. From scanty reporting, thus far, he man’s action was not like Buddhist nuns setting themselves on fire in Tibet, protesting the cruel takeover by Han Chinese.

1. Junk fees. I once got hit even though I paid by the due date. Numpty on the phone tells me it takes 3 days to process so I was late. I asked what was the point of a due date if you’re going to add 3 days. Obvs was to hit you with the fee. I got it reversed then closed my account.

For what it's worth, the guy didn't set himself on fire for Trump. Read his manifesto at Newsweek. He set himself on fire because he Did His Own Research and concluded that a worldwide conspiracy is promoting a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme that will destroy civilization. Its players include big corporations, Harvard, and the writers of The Simpsons. Ask me if I'm kidding.

His manifesto is on Substack and I read that crazy shit too. The thing that was mind blowing was his conviction about all of the conspiracy theories. It was also very articulate for someone who was planning on setting themself on fire for a cause. It wasn't for tfg. He was also one of the people he named that was in on the whole crypto conspiracy.
