Florida has become with Maralago the “Leaving Neverland,” where money buys off the crime as its not submitted into a legal court but handed down to the kangaroo court as a civil case....

Whats wrong with these people?

Of the at least six different children between the ages of 10 and 13 reported that they had been raped by Trump, but not a single parent in any of those cases submitted a police report or criminal complaint, sought redress in civil court, or ever spoke publicly about their child’s experience — every single one of them simply approached Trump privately and demanded large sums of money from him to keep quiet, and he complied.
(1) Michael Parker, 10-years old, oral rape, Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, FL, 1992. Trump paid his parents a $3 million settlement.

(2) Kelly Feuer, 12-years old, $1 million settlement paid in 1989, allegations of forced intercourse, Trump Tower, NY, NY.

(3) Charles Bacon, 11-years old, $3 million, allegations of oral and anal intercourse, 1994, Trump Tower, NY, NY.

(4) Rebecca Conway, 13-years old, intercourse and oral sex. Trump Vineyard Estates, Charlottesville, VA, 2012, $5 million settlement.

(5) Maria Olivera, 12-years old. Her family was paid $16 million to settle allegations of forcible intercourse occurring in Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, FL, 1993.

(6) Kevin Noll, 11-years old, anal rape, Trump Tower, NY, NY. 1998. Settlement details unknown.

Re: Politics

SpaceNut,

What's wrong with people who make stuff up that never happened, in order to enrich themselves?  Can you begin to imagine what kind of a parent does not file a criminal complaint against someone who raped their child?  $3M is more important than locking up someone who raped your child?  In what universe would you, as a parent, find that to be an acceptable outcome if someone raped your son or daughter?

It will no doubt later be proven that President Trump was the unwitting victim of the ongoing efforts to smear him for political purposes.  We know for a fact that Democrats endlessly smear people who oppose them, using the activities that their party faithful routinely participate in.  We know this full well from Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing, where several of the women later admitted that they straight-up lied to Congress and the FBI, and it was later proven that they lied.  Being an unrepentant liar is not a virtue, not even if it gets you elected.  If Democrats took any issue at all with rape, then they would not have elected President Clinton.

We know for a fact that the Democrats made-up "Russian Collusion", from start to finish, now President Biden's administration officials are prosecuting the liars who started that debacle, and that's that.  Eventually, the truth always comes out.  That simple truth is that the Democrat Party is an organized criminal enterprise that routinely commits federal crimes to try to eliminate their political opposition.

Democrats have yet to receive the message that Republican voters are no longer "clutching at their pearls" because unscrupulous Democrat operatives conspire in private to make up smears about their political opponents, because Democrat policies are so abhorrently bad that they can't win elections on their own merits.  Nearly everyone in the country with a functioning brain is now onto your party's favorite tactics and since they run the exact same tactics every single time, the falsehoods are invariably exposed and then they lose elections.

That's precisely why the Democrats are likely to lose control of the House and Senate in this next election cycle, and the Presidency in the cycle after that.  Focus on policy.  You never respond to any of my questions about policy, because you know full well that Democrats have no answers that will ever pass muster.  Democrats can't organize their way out of a wet paper bag, and that's the truth.  They're great at attacking their political opponents, but they clearly have no coherent message, no moral values, and no governance policies that are good for America, which is why they keep losing elections.

I want people with opposing viewpoints to have a seat at the political table, not any kind of "uniparty" because that's already proven to be a total disaster, but the Democrats that get elected don't run on policy ideas, they run on beliefs and feelings.  Democrats already have "uniparty control" over California.  They've run the state into the ground.  Nobody is "fleeing Texas" or "fleeing Florida" for California, yet the opposite seems to happen quite frequently these days.  Again, you have no answer for that.  When you can articulate an actual policy that the Democrat Party has, that's even mildly useful for America and Americans, then you have my attention.

I give the Democrat's latest political smear against President Trump, 6 months to 1 year before it later turns out to be false.  Democrats have devoted all of their attention and energy to one man who made them look like the evil clowns they've become.  What happens if everyone votes for someone else?  Oh wait, I already know the answer to that one.  The same smear tactics will be attempted against them, for lack of any better policy ideas.

Re: Politics

Apparently, the right to protest in Canada depends upon who you are and what colour you are.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/why … minorities

So if you are brown, Trudeau doesn't have a problem with you rioting and burning cities.  But the truckers can expect to be arrested, their bank accounts frozen, their pets seized, etc, because as far as Trudeau is concerned, they are 'the wrong sort of people.'  This is the sort of oppression that tends to lead to violent insurrection.  Which explains why those on the left are constantly worried about guns in the hands of the populus.  They want a populous that is weak, has no power to resist them, and no power of protest.  They want unquestioned consent and unlimited control, so they can abuse without consequences.  Dictators like Trudeau always fear little people with guns.  Men like this need to be kept a long way from power.  As happened in the October Revolution, they end up killing millions and ruining millions more, as they attempt to crush resistance to their plans and bend society to their idealistic vision.  In their own distorted world view, their cause is always just; always right.  Those that don't see it the same way are therefore always evil and no amount of cruelty is unjustified in crushing them.

One has to wonder just how bad things needs to get before the present government in Canada gets the boot?  Does there need to be gulags?  How far do things need to deteriorate before people decide to get rid of the juvenile dictator that somehow managed to end up in power?

Re: Politics

Being a constitutional monarchy is often justified on the basis that the monarch provides a backstop against tyrannical government.

That... doesn't seem to be working out in Canada. They might as well become a Republic when Elizabeth dies, since having a Queen/King isn't doing anything good.

Russian move to hold up OneWeb launch may affect entire space industry
https://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Russ … y_999.html

OneWeb, a communications satellite company partly owned by the British government, intended to launch 36 satellites...

"Roscosmos demands guarantees OneWeb satellites not to be used [sic] for military purposes," the agency posted on Twitter. "Because of Britain's hostile stance against Russia, another condition for the March 5 launch is that the British government withdraws from OneWeb."

The moves by Roscosmos, as it becomes increasingly isolated, could cripple the space agency even more, Todd Harrison, a director with the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said in an interview.

"Russia's space industry was already in a tailspin with the loss of business from the U.S.," Harrison said. "The response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine will exacerbate problems within Russia's space sector and could ultimately cause it to implode."

Failure to launch: War scuppers Russia-West space collaboration

Roscosmos had earlier suspended launches from Europe's spaceport in French Guiana's Kourou, which use Russian Soyuz rockets, withdrawing around a hundred of its workers.

Another victim is the Rosalind Franklin rover, whose launch under the joint Russian-European ExoMars mission had already been postponed from 2020 due to the pandemic.

The rover, which is designed to drill into Mars to search for signs of life, is now "very unlikely" to launch this year, the European Space Agency said.

Quote from a retweet on Donald Trump's blog

The RINOs, Warmongers, and Fake News continue to blatantly lie and misrepresent my remarks on Putin because they know this terrible war being waged against Ukraine would have never happened under my watch. They did absolutely nothing as Putin declared much of Ukraine an “independent territory.” There should be no war waging now in Ukraine, and it is terrible for humanity that Biden, NATO, and the West have failed so terribly in allowing it to start. Instead of showing strength and toughness, they declared the Global Warming Hoax as the #1 threat to global security, killed American Energy Independence, and then made Europe, the U.S., and the rest of the World dependent on Russian oil. They laid down the welcome mat and gave Russia the opening, now Putin may be getting everything he wanted, with Ukraine and the rest of the World suffering the consequences. It’s terrible, but this is what you get with Biden, the Democrats, and RINO warmongers!

Trump himself had most of his social media accounts banned from the internet

Re: Politics

Calliban,

What you're describing doesn't actually have anything to do with skin color per se, it's a matter of hierarchy.  The marxists have a policy that states something to the effect of, "whatever we do is justified, whatever the other side does is criminal / racist / sexist / xenophobic".  The radical left are implementing a two-tiered justice system- one for their supporters and one for their detractors.  In other words, an "injustice system" that favors their special brand of injustice- arresting truck drivers who abide by the law while bailing their own violent street thugs out of jail so they can go on to commit more criminal acts.  This is merely another page taken directly from Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals".

Re: Politics

I think this could be a long and bloody conflict where Russia never really has full control of the territory it wants. The USA has realtions with foreign states and relation to foreign nations of people who are friendly and I guess people who are not-so-friendly or perhaps enemies. Reports of Iran blasting  Long-Range Ballistic missiles near a US Consulate or US military base adds a whole new element to world politics. Germany not supporting Nuclear seems very dumb now, there are a political elite class there who seem to be extreme political Luddite and want German's to be powered by fanciful Windmills or something?

Do you know that way back to the year 77AD the Greek were writing stories of civilisation and war and heroism and wrote a story about a mouse that climbed into an elephant’s nose and then drove it crazy and did you also know Jared Isaacman the businessman, space tourist Space-X guy owns a Mig-29?

One Mig I believe was also bought by the US, maybe purchased group linked military or Airforce who went into one of those 'Stans countries after the break up of the Soviet Union. Other ex-Soveit era Migs, Sukhoi and Tanks have been sold to collectors and have moved around Eastern Europe and been sold privately across the world. The Mig is interesting, although the Western technology is head and the United States Airforce is far mroe advanced the Mig almost compares to the F-15 Eagle and the F-16 Falcon, Russia has updated its military since the 80s so the Mig-29 is slowly getting replaced by more modern designs. It might not have made much difference, the Ukraine Navy and Ukraine Airforce is totally out matched by the Russian but perhaps could be an accumulation of fighting harassment and added to resistance, the bigger Elephant sized invading machine might seem to be winning but you can at least stab at its toes, a pin prick, even sometimes a mouse can scare an elephant.

The Biden Admin made the decision not to give the Migs, news reports say that Joe Biden personally vetoed Polish MiG plan for Ukraine.

Re: Politics

SpaceNut,

It's not lawful to firebomb a federal courthouse or hurl explosives at Police, either, but that's exactly what antifa and blm have done over the better part of a year in Portland, Oregon.  Between repeatedly (day after day, week after week, month after month) trying to set a federal court house on fire while people are working in it, and waltzing through the Capitol like you own the place after the Police let you in, I think everyone knows which "event" was more violent- unless you think you can "mostly peacefully" set people on fire.  One group of yahoos is not better than the next, even if your partisanship won't allow you to acknowledge it.  Intentional ignorance is not a virtue.

Re: Politics

The Space Force wants to launch a ‘Highway Patrol’ between Earth and the Moon

https://taskandpurpose.com/news/space-f … ay-patrol/



    To keep a closer eye on the burgeoning lane of space traffic, America’s newest military branch wants to start a Cislunar Highway Patrol System, or CHPS, for short, just like the California Highway Patrol.

    There’s a great deal of money to be made on the moon and the space between. Lunar ice can be used to make water, oxygen and rocket fuel, which can fuel missions deeper into space, the Center for Strategic & International Studies noted in a 2020 report. The moon also hosts large deposits of Helium 3, which can transform energy production on Earth by enabling nuclear fusion and making fossil fuels obsolete. NASA has also detected rare-Earth elements that can be used to make electronics and other products.

    “Right now the space-based economy encompasses about $350 billion per year worth of work,” said David Spencer, associate professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University, in a recent video. “But over the next 30 years, forecasts say that the space-based economy is going to grow to about $3 trillion per year.”

    The Moon market beckons, but the challenge is getting there. Part of what makes going to the Moon so difficult is that the Moon has its own gravitational pull, which can easily screw with the flight of spacecraft between the Moon and Earth.

Re: Politics

Haha called it. The first uniformed service that operates manned spacecraft is going to be the space equivalent of the coast guard, not air force or navy, because that's what is actually needed in the plausible near and mid futures. Primarily to keep traffic in line, secondarily for rescue missions (an atmospheric capable NTR vessel could execute quite large orbital changes to reach stranded spaceships).

A video of an Indian TV debate on Ukraine has gone viral after the host berated a guest for more than a minute live on air — before realising he was shouting at the wrong person.

Republic's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami opened The Debate at 9 on Wednesday with a power-packed lead story in which he cut to the chase, and exposed 'Why America loves the Ukraine-Russia War'. In the debate opener, Arnab pointed out that as Ukrainians were dying amid the invasion of Russia, it was the Joe Biden-led country that was making money - lots and lots of money.
    "Every day, every minute that this war continues the biggest American defence-related manufacturers see their stock prices shooting up. Billions, maybe trillions are being made out of this war. And most of the money is coming to the United States of America," Arnab said, suggesting to the viewers to see for themselves the share prices of American companies like Lockheed Martin & General Dynamics.
Republic's Editor-in-Chief added, "As hundreds of Ukrainians die. As the missile attacks destroy homes across Ukraine. As innocents like the 21-year-old student from Karnataka are killed in the shelling and the bombing, Europe prepares to spend hundreds of billions in increased defence expenditure.

ESA weighs options for replacing Soyuz launches
https://spacenews.com/esa-weighs-option … -launches/

ESA officials said at a briefing after the meeting that they had made no decisions on how to launch those payloads originally manifested on Soyuz. “We will look into all the options,” said Josef Aschbacher, ESA’s director general. “We need to make sure that we have a robust launcher setup that can launch our satellites.”

The first priority, he said, is to move those payloads onto the new Vega C and Ariane 6 vehicles. Vega C is scheduled to make its first flight in May while Ariane 6 is set to make its debut no earlier than the second half of this year.

Aschbacher said they won’t rush Ariane 6 to make its first flight. He declined to give a specific launch date for the first Ariane 6 launch, citing an upcoming hotfire test of the Ariane 6’s upper stage engine in Germany and tests of the vehicle at the launch site in Kourou, French Guiana. “We cannot stabilize a date until these two tests are carried out,” he said.

Ukraine needs to stop doing this. They're throwing the term 'war crime' at stuff that isn't by any stretch of the imagination a war crime. Have they not heard the story of the boy who cried war crimes?

Parody comedy news like The-Onion and 'Babylon Bee' now banned?

Elon Musk has done interviews with Babylon Bee and a site Not-The-Bee which features some news that is too crazy to be true

Twitter suspends Babylon Bee for naming Rachel Levine 'Man of the Year'
https://rumble.com/vy1wn2-twitter-suspe … -year.html

People have tried to call Tulsi Gabbard Labeled a 'Russian Agent' said she's a Traitor and called for her to be Arrested. Even she gets censored like Trump if she is banned from mainstream platforms like youtube, twitter, facebook, she will probably get her voice out on other plaforms, I don't think 4chan would ban her. and For example she has a voice where some fan mirrors and shares her vids on anotehr plaform called sovern dot media - vids https://sovren.media/u/tulsigabbardfan/

I think websites like Funker, LeakedReality and Twitter have replaced 'Liveleak' the website. LeakedReality is dumb and mostly features rappers fighting each other on the street and anti-social hoodrat culture. The Liveleak website was mostly a leaked reality of camera footage and addicents and war, when I seen it was a very grim place, a very bleak horrible site, it did not have pornography but hosted a lot of the stuff that would go missing or get banned from youtube, a bank robbery, an industrial accident, I guess 'Liveleak' was almost a shocking website but there were other sites that were more shocking for example, sites would make money hosting the photos of hollywood actor 'Chris Farley' who fell down dead during a party and died of an overdose of a combination of cocaine and morphine. Liveleak mostly just featured the good and the bad including horrible live reality of the world some idiot who hung onto a train and then fell off and went splat, gangsters Looting and Rioting, the combat footage from Iraq and or on the ground Army fighting in Afghanistan and other places. On May 2021 the website LiveLeak website closed, as grim as it was I think it was a loss for free citizen journalism or the internets free speech.
