  1. Started by Stefan,

    Scotland's Sunday Post and a couple of U.K. newspapers have published a news story that reported that Prestwick airport, near Trump’s Turnberry golf course resort, has been told to expect a U.S. military Boeing 757 on January 19th. The aircraft has occasionally been used by Trump, the paper reported. There are two Boeing VC-5 aircraft that are used as Air Force One. But Trump will not be using them for this Scotland trip. The trip will allow Trump to avoid being in D.C. for the presidential inauguration of Joe Biden.

    So according to reports, Trump is supposed to be "arrested" and arraigned Tuesday. My question is, if he's planning on making some sort of speech Tuesday night he either: 1. Doesn't truly believe he'll be arrested or 2. Believes he'll be arrested but for some reason immediately released; which means his arrest was just a formality. I wonder is this the typical treatment of the "average" citizen who is formally charged with the same counts he's been charged with?

    Trump knew what he was asking for. He knows he's lost but he wanted to cause as much mayhem and upheaval as possible on his way out the door.

  6. Donald Trump is so intelligent, according to his supporters. Why Lord Dampnut maintains a keen grasp of world affairs and is someone global analysts seek out for his genius solutions to difficulties that frighten off lesser men. Herewith is further proof of the incredible thanks we owe his loyal band of knuckleheads. I don't know about you, but I bet Vladimir Putin is positively quaking with fear.

On April 20 we put out a press release titled “Aytu BioScience Signs Exclusive Global License with Cedars-Sinai for Potential Coronavirus Treatment.” The treatment is called Healight, and it was developed by research physicians at the hospital’s Medically Associated Science and Technology Program. The technology, which has been in development since 2016, uses ultraviolet light as an antimicrobial and is a promising potential treatment for Covid-19. Aytu and Ce…

    Brother frankster, in another thread you mentioned the "Watchers": Would you like to know the TRUTH about who these Watchers actually were? They were BLACK MEN....soldiers stationed to the area of and around the Caucasus Mountain range and the Black Sea. They were assigned to keep the Caucasians from escaping and coming back into our civilizations. Some of them saw the Caucasian women as attractive and had sex with them producing mixed offspring. This is where you get the "sons of god mixing with the daughters of man" in Genesis btw.... You'll find that the Book of Enoch....like most so-called "scriptures" that pass throu…

    What a week this has been! Here around Chicago, everybody was holding their collective breaths waiting for the verdict to come down after the Prosecution rested its case against Jason Van Dyke, the white cop, who mowed down LaQuan McDonald, a black teenager walking away from him with a knife clutched in his hand. Because Van Dyke felt threatened by this situation, his reaction was to empty his gun in the back of this young man, riddling his body with 16 bullets. This killing was covered up by Chicago law enforcement with the cooperation of other cops on the scene who did not feel similarly threatened but later chose to observe the oath of silence rather than…

    Yesterday Twitter announced they are permanently banning President Trump's Twitter account. After a "close review," Twitter concluded that 45 violated their, "Glorification of Violence policy." Twitter is full of shit. I don't even follow 45 on Twitter, but the stuff I've seen him Tweet over the years has been just as inflammatory. Twitter more than any other social media platform is responsible for the rise of 45, as they provided the platform to amplify his lies and rhetoric. Just how much more money did Twitter make as a direct result of being 45's megaphone? Billions I'm sure. In order to maximize revenue Twitter has taken hands off approac…

This time it is Tyler Perry (TP) being sued for $260 million el grande. There are several holes in the plaintiff's allegations. Surely, we're not supposed to believe a grown azz man felt comfortable spending the night in another's man's house and couldn't stop the harassment. I don't believe this silly suit will make it through the court. Hopefully, TP will be more selective about who he pulls off his production set or at an event or from the Village People. 😎
