    Why not just tell the TRUTH, get rid of the turmoil and guilt, and take our Country back from the evils and treachery of the Hypnotized MAGA monsters who want to see America die?

    Wow! Has anyone seen the Ruby Freeman 'contradictions' of her sworn testimony? Now this is 'BIG STUFF.'Look what was captured by Cobb County police body cameras on January 4, 2021. 'And everything they are saying is false. Everything from the quote unquote SUITCASES OF THE BALLOT BOXES, TO THE WHY WE OPENED THEM BACK UP. EVERYTHING THEY SAID WAS FALSE.THE FBI…REACHED OUT TO ME ONLY TO CLEAR MY SOCIAL MEDIA (evidence tampering?)…COUNT WAS LOW, IT WAS REALLY LOW.' Now it gets really bad,TRUTH 2

    12:07 a.m.:

    Ruby Freeman, page 2: 'BOOM under the table. Cut the zip ties to scan them so the number would go up…so that’s how the number was CREATED, by the ballots going through the scanner…I do want an attorney. IT’S ALL A FRAUD. EVERYTHING THEY ARE SAYING IS FALSE. FROM THE SUITCASES OF THE BALLOT BOXES, TO WHY WE OPENED THEM BACK UP. EVERYTHING THEY SAID WAS FALSE.' They got Ruby 7 top D.C. lawyers and protection from the FBI (Again?). WHY? She then 'changed' her statements - LIED? TROUBLE FOR RUBY!!!

    12:29 a.m.:

    What will the Great State of Georgia do with the Ruby Freeman MESS? Why not just tell the TRUTH, get rid of the turmoil and guilt, and take our Country back from the evils and treachery of the Radical Left monsters who want to see America die? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

    Fulton County election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss were publicly accused by associates of former President Donald Trump of introducing suitcases of illegal ballots and committed other acts of fraud to try to alter the outcome of the presidential election in Georgia.

    Moss has worked for the Fulton County elections department since 2012 and supervised the absentee ballot operation during the 2020 election. Freeman, her mother, was a temporary election worker, verifying signatures on absentee ballots and preparing them to be counted and processed.

    After narrowly losing the presidential election in Georgia, Trump made unproven claims widespread fraud led to his loss in the state. He particularly zeroed in on Fulton County, a Democratic stronghold that includes most of Atlanta.

    Once their names circulated online along with allegations that they had engaged in fraud, the two women said they were subjected to intense harassment, both in person and online.

    Those claims of wrongdoing by the mother-and-daughter duo were debunked after Georgia election officials openly refuted the allegations. Georgia officials concluded in late 2020, shortly after the allegations against the two women surfaced, that the pair had done nothing wrong.

    In the combined 93 pages of testimony, the mother and daughter told the committee about their roles during the election and the harassment that followed.‘

    I can't even tell you how much I love that song.  It always seemed like the perfect summary of Tom's life.  He was just a skinny kid who had one talent and he got lucky.  The acoustic version from the Live Anthology and Fillmore are just amazing.

    I think Rebels is my favorite Petty song. I was more of a casual fan of his but when I saw this song live I was floored. It's been my favorite ever since.

    Petty was so great.  He has that rare crossover ability where fans of any genre can connect with his music.  
  • never got into him. had his greatest hits and wildflowers, but that was it. never really listened. now, of course, one of my regrets of not seeing him live.

    Just looked over Trumps tax returns.  I am guessing that he took deductions for what he considered to be "Non-passive" losses when in reality they were really passive losses, which are usually not deductible.

    In regards to his interest income, my guess would be that he has loans to his various entities that pay him interest.

    He has huge passive loss carryovers so what hit the return was the shit he was active in.

    And a large part of the interest income is coming from a K-1. The interest is all scheduled out in the return.

    Imma say it...This House of Representatives speaker shit show is a direct result of Trizzy making phone calls and pulling strings.

    Boebert, Gaetz, Biggs, Gosar, Good, Andy Fucking Harris (whose district I can see from my house), Scott Fucking Perry, Chip Roy, and one of the newest members of the insurrection caucus, former SI swimsuit model Anna Paulina Luna (of Florida, of course...)  "I believe that President Trump won that election, and I do believe that voter fraud occurred."

    Makes sense. Trump essentially endorsed Mccarthy bc he took the big visit at Mara Lego after Jan six.
    This leads me to believe he is under the impression Mccarthy somehow has the votes now....imagine how much weaker trump would look if he doesn't have the votes though? lol

    There's no way that Trump knows something that the media doesn't.

    Trump’s Worst Fear Is Coming True: He’s Being Ignored

    Even some of his biggest supporters in Congress are rebuffing his call to back Kevin McCarthy for speaker.

    Do you remember the first time you defied your parents — and got away with it? Or the first time you told a boss to shove it — and he shoved it? Donald Trump found himself on the receiving end of this sort of abuse Wednesday, as he pressed the 20 House Republicans blocking Kevin McCarthy from the speakership to vote for his man — and they collectively blew him off.

    “Vote for Kevin, close the deal, take the victory,” Trump wrote (in all caps) on Truth Social. “Republicans, do not turn a great triumph into a giant & embarrassing defeat.”

    But not only did the Gang of 20 defy Trump’s pointed directive, one of their leaders sassed him from the floor of the House. GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, who is as Trumpy as you can get without resorting to a comb-over, said she was unmoved by his phone calls to the Gang telling them to “knock it off,” and issued orders back to Trump himself: “The president needs to tell Kevin McCarthy that, ‘Sir, you do not have the votes and it’s time to withdraw.”

    Trump’s ineffectual insertion of himself into the speaker ruckus is only one marker of his decaying political powers. His fervent support of Mehmet Oz, Herschel Walker, Adam Laxalt and Blake Masters for Senate seats bombed at the ballot box. On Election Night, Fox News, once a steadfast ally, labeled him “The biggest loser tonight” for the Republicans’ poor results. His acid tongue, once corrosive enough to end the careers of his foes, has become impotent: His attempt to brand presidential rival Ron DeSantis “Ron DeSanctimonious” backfired, making Trump the object of derision instead of DeSantis. In December, he hit a seven-year low in his standing with voters. His desultory 2024 presidential campaign has drawn only yawns from the press and politicians, setting him up for a devastating magazine profile by Olivia Nuzzi that portrays him as a sad duffer living in the opulence of the past like Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.

    This is not to say that current events have completely husked Trump and dumped him in the compost. He still commands a core of supporters and a demonstrable ability to fundraise, so let’s keep his political obituary in the prewrite bin for now. But every politician is born with a sell-by date pressed on his forehead, and Trump is no exception. If he’s starting to stink of irrelevance to politicians like Boebert and Matt Gaetz, people he more or less invented, then his political time might be drawing to an end.

    Part of Trump’s decline is his fault. Why did he have to jump into the speaker fight to support somebody who is so untrustworthy and reviled? Why did he think that a buffoon like Walker, an opportunist like Oz, or a barking mallard duck like Masters were bankable Senate candidates? But Trump’s decline is equally structural. A politician out of office never carries the swat of a politician in office, no matter what heights he once commanded. As president, Trump could make the nation snap to with an executive order or a military threat directed at Iran or North Korea or a Cabinet firing or a saucy press conference. He could create loyalists by dispensing jobs and favors. He could maintain them with fear tactics. Today, he has less power to affirmatively direct the national conversation than a late-night talk show host and he no longer frightens anyone. Other ex-presidents, like Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama have accepted their diminished powers and conserved what remains of their influence by entering only fights they know they could win. This fundamental lesson of politics has yet to reach Trump.

    Another cause of the Trump deterioration resides in the ambitions of others. As long as he was president, Trump had no rival for the White House among Republicans. He was the go-to guy. But once Joe Biden felled him and he lost the crown, other Republicans who aspired for the presidency were freed to exercise their political dreams. They didn’t have to kill the king. The king had been killed, or at least exiled, freeing them to explore the old leader for his weaknesses should he chose to return. But now, Trump is just in their way, and their personal ambitions outweigh their personal fealty. So far, the aspirants haven’t directly rebuked Trump the way the Gang of 20 has, but in ignoring him they’ve signaled that they think his time has passed. Why risk a murder charge by playing the role of Brutus when you can count on the tide to carry Trump away?

    “All political lives, unless they are cut off in midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure, because that is the nature of politics and of human affairs,” the racist British politician Enoch Powell observed in 1977. Trump’s end had to come sooner or later. But it’s coming now.
