Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's never, ever, ever, ever, ever going to happen. No matter what the lamestream media tells you, I guarantee that won't happen.

Trump reading a book? I mean come on, how outlandish can you get?

He's loyal to nobody.
There was a news article talking about all the chatter on far right message boards like Telegraph where supporters refused to follow his pleas for protests. This was after watching all his supporters being arrested for the Jan 6th insurrection and how Trump basically gave them zero support afterwards. They feel it's a trap.

Maybe not but that picture and many others are fake AI photo's created by Eliot Higgins

Quote:
Donald Trump has not been arrested, but fake photos of him in incriminating situations are circulating on the net, by Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat.

Higgins used artificial intelligence to create these images, admitting that he was joking and did not expect such widespread attention.

However, the web went wild and the images were viewed nearly 5 million times in two days. This episode highlights the sophistication of AI-generated images and the potential for confusing information. It also highlights the absence of corporate standards and government regulations regarding the use of 'AI to spread falsehoods.

90% of the worlds heroin comes from afganistan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_...pean%20supply.

Also, before the war Taliban were burning poppy fields and were threatening to burn them all.

Alvin Bragg Breaks Silence About Trump's Potential Arrest

Quote:
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office provided Newsweek with a letter that Bragg sent to members of the House Judiciary Committee after they sent their own letter "demanding communications, documents, and testimony relating to Bragg's unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority and the potential indictment of former President Donald Trump."

In the letter, Bragg said that he has pledged that his office will "publicly state the conclusion of our investigation—whether we conduct our work without bringing charges, or move forward with an indictment."

Bragg went on to address the letter the House Judiciary Committee previously sent to his office and said: "Your letter dated March 20, 2023, (the 'Letter'), in contrast, is an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution. The letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene. Neither fact is a legitimate basis for congressional inquiry."
Quote:
Bragg's letter went on to note that compliance with the requests made by the House Judiciary Committee would "interfere with law enforcement."

"The Letter seeks non-public information about a pending criminal investigation, which is confidential under state law," the letter said. "These confidentiality provisions exist to protect the interests of the various participants in the criminal process—the defendant, the witnesses, and members of the grand jury—as well as the integrity of the grand jury proceeding itself.

It's unsurprising but also pretty interesting seeing so many AI-generated images of political scenarios now. They're like a fuzzy area between political cartoons used for commentary and disinformation created to purposely mislead people into alternate realities.

Not making any accusation towards you in sharing it. It's just an interesting phenomenon to track as we see AI tools being applied to things like this.

Not arguing with that but its crap heroin, the best stuff always came from south east Asia, the golden triangle, mexican and afghan gear is brown and of lower purity and strength, Asian is what used to be called 'china white' higher purity a much better supply

All of which is irrelevant these days as almost all drugs come via prescription mills and start out legal, hence the rise of Fenty, no one is scoring illicitly grown humped across the mountains on the back of a donkey gear these days, they are shooting Oxycontin or Fenty, synthetic opioid's made in a factory, if you honestly think we invaded Afghanistan to secure drugs you are thinking of drug use in the 60's, we are long past that now

Sadly that image is almost 5 years old and instead of any progress we've got bulletproof backpacks and pop-up safe rooms in the schools.

I really don't get how a large portion of Americans continue to be blind to the actual issue... it's surreal to me.

Long video but an interesting one to watch.



Bernie is the GOAT. The US are going to miss him dearly when he’s no longer a senator.

NY Grand Jury has voted to indict former President Donald Trump -- various news outlets.

It's all but a formality now.

I can't wait to see Carlson et al report on how Antifa and BLM conspired to set the country on fire in order to make the totally reasonable MAGA Trumpers look bad.
