Some were Trump friends before his 2015 run for President started, and have remained with him until now. Like notorious serial pants-grabber & alleged attorney Rudy Giuliani.
When I say 'old friends', I mean these are criminals who need pardons
Post-Trump Career Thread 1/
BTW all GOP politicians who were on national stage in 2016, have developed a 'strategy' to survive the Trumpomess. They KNEW he will burn this down. They've all thought they had the perfect way to have a career beyond Trump. Here are a few examples:
Some were Trump friends before his 2015 run for President started, and have remained with him until now. Like notorious serial pants-grabber & alleged attorney Rudy Giuliani.
When I say 'old friends', I mean these are criminals who need pardons
Some opportunists jumped onboard early in 2016, but were smart enough to see Trump is setting up a kleptocracy, and JUMPED OFF before the inaugration to avoid all legal stench. Like failed Bond Villain, the Chrischristie
Some with a spine, said No Trump and remained steadfastly away from him, not even appearing at the 2016 convention. Like then convention HOST Governor, John Kasich
Some opportunists jumped onto the Trump train late (convention 2016) and hugged Trump ever since, hoping to take his voters into the 2024 cycle. But Ted Cruz is the most hated man in America, even this lunatic strategy won't make him President
Some early Trump team members jumped off the ship the moment the big crimes became known in the FBI raid of Michael Cohen's office. But kept 'warm' hand-holding sessions with the eventual Inmate-In-Chief like political weather vane Nikki Haley
While other Trumpomobsters had to go to prison to ponder their loyalty to Trump, repent, turn state's evidence, and release a book to spin their side of the story. Like Trump failed loyalist, career thug and alleged attorney Michael Cohen
Other Trumpomobsters jumped off the ship when it became obvious Trump's crimes would become revealed. Turning on Trump and releasing an opportunistic book to try to appear the 'sane conservative' like career war monger John Bolton
Others tried to steer clear from Trump, avoid him, but align just with his legislation and try to avoid his ire. All these were doomed to fail, because sooner or later Trump would turn on them. Like #MoscowMitch McTurtle
Some carried water for Trump loyally up to the election, hoping for miracle win, or a Presidential pardon. As it became obvious those weren't happening, they suddenly turned and probably now are singing to the FBI, like Bill Barr
Some obscure idiots joined suddenly out of the blue, remained bizarrely loyal & will go down with this ship. The only plausible explanation for Mike Pence's behavior is that his boss Vladimir Putin has ordered Pence to do all this
Some were just hired help. They've filed their divorce papers and will take Barron and never visit Trump in prison, like the First Tramp #FLOTITS
One total idiot who had been against Trump, suddenly joined his team AFTER the crimes were obvious. The political vacuum Lady G #LeningradLindsey has preserved old Tweets critical of Trump, in an insane hope the years 2018-2020 would be forgotten
Only one Republican had the spine to stand up to Trump the one time it really counted: Impeachment. This makes Mitt Romney the true leader of the post-Trump era Republican party. He has his work cut out for him.
When Romney lost in 2012, the GOP ran an 'autopsy' on the campaign. They said then, the GOP need to appeal to women, to minorities, and embrace facts.
Then in 2016 GOP nominated Trump a sexist racist delusional imbecile spewing conspiracy theories
Some jumped onto Trump train late, but then remained loyal. And used bizarre interpretations of Bible quotations to try to justify Trump's totally un-Christian behavior. Hey little Marco. That doesn't make you President 2024. It makes you a hypocrite
Some decided to play both sides of aisle, true Trump loyalist, and simultaneous Never Trumper, in a calculated premediated con, run with their crooked husband, like the crooked path to hell, the Conway
Some knew there is no political life after Trump, so they played Trump, ran the biggest crime heist in the history of humankind, under Trump's nose, with intention to vanish with the loot, before 20 January. Like kleptocrat mastermind Steve Mnuchin
Some invested their whole political career on the gamble of a glorious War With Iran. Failed Pom-Pom Girl Felicity Pomposity had no idea that Trump's boss Vladimir Putin would veto any such war, because Iran is Russia's friend. So Pompeo is doomed
Some echoed Trumpism via traditional media, while peddling miracle cures like Hydroxychloroquine to enrich themselves. Hell has a special level for the inhumane Lauraingrahams
Some evolved a natural defense mechanism to deny reality.
PRESS: Sarah, did you serve as Trump's Press Secretary?
SARAH: No, not to the best of my knowledge
Some are related* to Trump and held hostage by Trump's threat to drop them from Trump's will. That grip is lost when all of Trump's remaining assets are seized. The Hitler Jugend kids will be in prison in New York.
*Or to Gary Busey (Eric Trump)
Some placed all their trust in the awesome power of the Saudi Bone Saw. Jared will find that even a Saudi Bone Saw won't cut the prison bars of his new home.

Path 6 - Mark Meadows First Thread/32

The Dept of Justice laid a trap for Trump. They told him, Trump has to supply a written letter stating they have no more classified documents, when FBI visited Trump on subpoena in Florida in June. And Trump had his lawyers write that letter pic.twitter.com/OzaeUn1Yzg
AND while I was writing that Thread about Path 6, this news item broke. Back in May of 2021, immediately after Trump was asked to return government documents, he flew DOZENS of boxes of contents from Florida to New Jersey. Does this sound suspicious to you? https://t.co/63gsvkqi8A
holy fucking shit, on May 6, 2021, NARA asked Donald Trump to return missing documents. on May 9, 2021, Donald Trump was filmed leaving Florida with dozens of boxes, bound for Bedminster. let me repeat this: HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. why isn't Bedminster being searched right now pic.twitter.com/FKgtPL9OHI

As we await Rudy Giuliani's arrest, let's do an update to the biggest criminal cases Rudy faces, and how this Giuliani path will take Trump to prison for life (separate from Weisselberg path that also takes Trump to prison for life)

Handy guide for Dominic Raab and other Brexiteers, and for anyone keen to replace our EU trade with trade with the rest of the world on WTO terms...
You can't magic away the vast distances involved. Clue: we fly in only 1/192th of our trade compared to the amount that arrives via sea
But even if you invented a teleporter tomorrow, WTO terms are so bad, so stacked against us, that a no-deal Brexit will be a total economic disaster
And while the Brexiteers fantasise, real jobs are being lost, investments are drying up, companies are moving assets to the EU27 or redomiciling. All already happened and happening right now, not in some mythical
Of course, there are many, many myths that Brexiteers perpetuate that are total fiction. You've seen a couple of them already. The thread below busts a whole lot

In 2016, the UK transported 484,000,000 tons of freight by sea, but just 2,511,000 tons by air (192x less than by sea). Therefore absurd to think of simply substituting air freight for sea freight (e.g. if we have to fly in food or medicines because of post-Brexit jams at ports)

Here's the truth about Brexit, the "punishment" some people claim the EU wants to inflict on us, the full horrific consequences of no deal, and the dangers lurking behind any deal we reach. Buckle in, it's pretty long. Better to be thorough than to leave anything out. 1/47

Ok, it's high time to look at the REAL effects of Brexit. As the Tories implode & Labour sits on its hands, companies are executing contingency plans, shifting jobs & assets, slashing investments, or redomiciling (accounting exercise). Happening NOW, not in a fantasy future. 1/95

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.

"Luck is the flip side of risk. They are mirrored cousins, driven by the same thing: You are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people\u2019s actions can be more consequential than your own."
