Trump makes major U-turn as he lavishes praise on Tim Walz

Amid the ongoing chaos in Minnesota thousands of federal immigration officers continue to swarm the state, In a Machiavellian performative pseudo-alliance President Donald Trump 'revealed' that he had a "very good call" with Gov. Tim Walz.  Fantasy made into reality in real time.

Amid the chaos of "Operation Metro Surge" in Minnesota, Donald Trump's claim of a "very good call" with Democratic Gov. Tim Walz isn't an olive branch. It is deception from a grifters handbook. Pretend to be the friend of your enemy.  That is Trump's game. Facing blistering legal and political blowback for deploying thousands of federal agents to Minneapolis, Trump needs to silence critics. Pretending to be Tim's friend is the Trump way to do it.  The murdering warmonger claims he should get a peace prize, so lies concerning a "very good call" are natural to Trump.

Walz's office states Trump's call was brief and transactional. The call was initiated by Trump. Governor Walz advocated for federal disaster aid in the call following severe storms and tornadoes that struck Minnesota in response. An official from Walz's office emphatically rejects the Trump characterization of a "very good call" as implying any political alignment or agreements.

Walz's office confirms the call was brief, focused on securing federal disaster aid after severe storms.  A governor doing his job in an awkward moment. But in Trump's alchemy, that routine request was spun into gold, an illusion of consensus.  It did not really matter what Tim Walz said.  Trump twists events to his own purpose.

Real time Machiavellian politics. The substance of the conversation was irrelevant. The utility of the conversation is everything.    By fabricating a public facade of cooperation with governor Walz, Trump aims to achieve three goals.  Normalize the unprecedented abuse of power, confuse and fracture public resolve, and legitimize murder by distraction.

Normalize the unprecedented. This deployment of a domestic army of ICE and CBP agents is terrorizing Minnesota. Their occupation vastly outnumbers the Minneapolis police force. Re-framing the interaction as a "very good" chat deflects Trump's radical assault on state sovereignty into being just another day's business.

The message to Minnesotans is that your governor and I are getting along, so how bad can this really be? Trump sows doubt, he fractures resolve. He blunts the condemnation of his critics.  He does this with intent. The Trump occupation is mired in lawsuits and clear video evidence shows two people murdered. The "good call" narrative is a planned distraction. It pushes the cold-blooded murder of Alex Pretti and Renee Good out of the headlines. Replacing Trumps brutality with a staged show of control is meant to confuse the public and legitimize the illegitimate.  It is a weaponized lie.

Trump is a cult leader. A cult leader like Jim Jones and America is Trump's Jonestown. Like Jones, Trump stages a public persona of compassion and alliance. He performs for politicians and press in a meticulous performance.  Fabricating the perception of widespread acceptance to silence skeptics and disarm critics. Trump followers like sheep to slaughter trust their Trump curated reality over what their own eyes see. Trump's "very good call" is a performance of consensus, designed to discredit the actual verifiable reality of fear, occupation, control, and grief playing out in Minnesota. Trump demands the public drink from the poison cup of his false narrative to ignore the bitter truth of his occupation which can be clearly seen from multiple angles.

The people of Minnesota aren't confused. They see the agents in their streets. Their businesses are closed, and they live in fear. But Minnesota is only one State, and Trump performs on the national stage, for the whole country.  National deception.

Officials say 'orange shape' on Epstein security cam could show 'unusual' inmate activity the night Epstein died

Officials have said the mysterious orange shape on Jeffrey Epstein's floor spotted on security cam footage the night he died was likely a corrections officer (CO), but newly released documents show that finding was far from a foregone conclusion.

Cool your jets.  I had a dialog open to add the second article.  The dialog lets me send it to the Doomscroll before I show it here.  That lets me fix the image but I can click wrong and close the dialog before I post it here and that is what happened.  I had to edit to get the article here as intended in the first place.  You started driving before I had the car door closed.

The second article justifies my claim, YMMV.

But it was an inside job.  In a federal prison.  In a federal prison when Trump was running the fucking show the first time.  We now know Trump gets off on snuffing people.  It gets his mushroom hard.  You can do the math as well as I.

Explosive Epstein files accuse Trump of raping 13-year-old, murdering a newborn; White House says THIS about allegations

A new batch of US Justice Department documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein has resurfaced unverified allegations against Donald Trump, including a claim that he raped a 13-year-old girl. Here's all you need to know.

I do math fine, correct. But I don't intuit conspiracies very well. I understand the words used of course, as when they are laid out in terms of A) interesting factoid + B) interesting factoid + C) interesting factoid =   Planet X.   But when the addition is like.....Phase of the Moon is full + wolf howls at it + I like carrots =market crashs..... well....it could be true, sure. But we aren't really talking about "do the math".

Post hoc ergo propter hoc, which means, Aristotle figured this out WAY before someone like Mike Ruppert came alone and specialized in it.

Eh huh, funny yes, and a rube-Goldberg assembly of disconnected facts.  Much ado about nothing.

Murder inside a federal prison is X times easier and cheaper if it is an inside job commanded by a three letter guvmint agency spinoff with the proper paperwork giving them power inside the prison rather than if instigated by an outside agency which would require an enormous amount of planning and knowledge they can't easily get.  The time required for an outside agency to pull off such a caper makes it pretty much impossible,  X^^at where at > 1.  Time is a variable to be seriously considered.  More often than not it it is a variable disregarded.

I am serious, I'll say X is at least 50.  The difference between easy and hard.

To the ignorant there are obviously no connections to be made.  To the ignorant everything in life is a weird conspiracy theory made from magic and disconnected facts.  Think about it, their ground must always move.  Nothing solid.  They can't make, refine and possibly disregard theories in the face of new evidence.  Evidence What's that.  Nothing solid enough for analysis in their sphere, or in contrary reality is for them as solid and unmovable as rock and nothing can change.  Take your pick.

The safe path is the middle ground.  In this case X is very important.

Cui Bono?  Who benefits from Epstein's death?  Who has enough money to bribe the people necessary to pull it off?  Who has goobermint connections and access to the full list of staff, schedules, floor plans, cell assignments etc?  What does Occam's Razor say?

I didn't use much of any facts. I just used an example to make a point. I could do a dissertation with a ream of footnotes on how this has been done on the interenet forums I've perused over the years.

Of course I expect better from an EE.

Quote from: K-DogTo the ignorant there are obviously no connections to be made.

Not necessarily true. Peak oilers, ignorant of oil, geology and the geosciences at large, were happy to make connections. As are conspiracy folks at large. Some could argue that ignorant and conspiracies go easily hand in hand. I could probably put that correlation just from memory in the peak oil world.

I can NOT necessarily extrapolate that experience with the ignorant and/or uninformed making connections into other topics.

Quote from: K-DogTo the ignorant everything in life is a weird conspiracy theory made from magic and disconnected facts.

To the ignorant everything in life can be a weird conspiracy, or they can be so ignorant that don't have a clue what one might be. Such is the nature of ignorant....and interestingly, I have become convinced that ignorant is not required to be correlated with intelligience. I can name some smart PhD types that prove it.

I agree. And can name and have argued with PhDs who fit your description. Belief in something, be it religion or conspiracies, is  powweful thing, and can negate facts, logic, math and even interfere with the ability to think logically, when a given belief is contradicted by evidence.

Quote from: K-DogThe safe path is the middle ground.  In this case X is very important.

I completely agree. Few have the ability to speak truth to the power, and being punished by the Forum Gods for daring to fight back against the a commonly espoused idea is the usual response for those who do. So folks muddle around in the middle because....it is encouraged, socially acceptable, and most folks don't have what it takes to just.....dare.

When bored in retirement one day, I have considered writing a book on the topic.

Exactly - And it turns out the noose was not around the body.  Forensic evidence establishes that he was strangled.  Hyoid bone injuries. 

There is your razor pivot point Mr Occam.  Forensic evidence knows the difference  between being strangled to death and being choked by a noose.

UK's Keir Starmer struggles with Epstein Mandelson fallout

The British prime minister apologized to Epstein victims in a speech, and accused his former US ambassador, Peter Mandelson, of telling "lies" to secure a spot in his government. Mandelson faces a police investigation.

Absolutely.  Besides that, his political power as POTUS giving him hiring and firing power and promotions and job assignments puts him far ahead of other wealthy pedophiles.   The CIA gives him access to the assassin needed to do the job.  Finally, his personality profile isn't consistent with being suicidal.

Suicide is a possibility, but unlikely considering the forensics and taking into account the threat he posed to Trumpolini as long as he was alive.  Anyone that much of a threat HAS to be eliminated.

Finally with suicides that are this convenient

So between your EE and my precognitive abilities when it comes to oil and whatnot, you figure that the Chief Medical Examiner lied?

QuoteChief Medical Examiner Dr. Barbara Sampson said she stands "firmly" behind her findings in the August autopsy report, which ruled Epstein hanged himself and temporarily quelled much of the speculation surrounding the financier's death.

What conspiracy accounts for someone of high moral fiber and expectations as well as experience deciding to risk it all?

I'll stick with Occams Razer because it is still working fine. Unless you've collected a decent forensic pathology certification along the way somewhere? And then reviewed the evidence?

Hey, I'll take your word for EE stuff without much quetion as long as it matches my basic courses in the same, and I'll trust RE's microbiology opinion.

But we are talking about a conspiracy again. I am trying to get past Toothpaste + electrical current and a splash of pepper = steak.

Can't disagree with this meme. Oh...but Epstein wasn't a duck. Maybe Monsta or someone we know has some decent forensic pathology experience and can review the evidence? As opposed to...you know....ducks being involved somehow.

The analogy doesn't reference & compare Epstein, it references & compares Suicide.  I taught Analogies on the LSAT for The Princeton Review.  You would not have scored well.
