Sorry about all of my typos and mistakes in this post. Something is happening.

In the past 24 hours the Trump Administration has:

1. Continued an unneeded and unauthorized war in Iran.

2. Torpedoed an Iranian Naval ship off the coast of Sri Lanka is 3,000 miles away from Iran
and posed no threat to America or Americans or our allies.

3. Started a new little hot war in Ecuador in order to stop narco terrorism. Btw narco
terrorism is a made up term.

4. And got the State of Ohio to turn over its voter registrations to the D.o.J.. In 2024 Elon
Musk’s boys had access to voter registration d-bases and that got us President Trump.

5. And it has stone walled much of the Epstein information especially covering up Don’s rape
of a 13 year old girl.

1. Re: point #2 - I'm wondering whether US ships in the area rendered aid to any survivors.

3. Sri Lankan authorities said 32 people were rescued from the ship

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said a torpedo from a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean Tuesday night, saying the strike was the first such attack on an enemy since World War II.

Sri Lankan authorities said 32 people were rescued from the ship, which sank of their country’s coast. They said others died, without giving a number.

4. Iranian naval ship carrying 180 onboard sinks off Sri Lankan coast, leaving dozens missing, 32 rescued

Sri Lankan ships and aircraft did some of the rescuing.

Information is sketchy right now. This was the murder of @ least 100 Iranians because
we have not had a formal declaration of war which requires a vote by congress.

2. 6. Ran a test in Dallas

create 5 hour voting wait times and then don't allow extra time for people to vote, this just in blue cities.

Talarico needs to condemn this.

5. These acts are environmental disasters on top of humanitarian and legal disasters

Added to "normal" levels of pollution, and from the Ukrainian war, we cannot fathom yet what the impacts will be on fisheries, climate, farmlands, etc. Makes my heart hurt.

6. Welcome to World War III, brought to us by a demented megalomaniac and a spineless Republican Congress.

10. And six fascist so-called supreme court justices.

7. The spelling police could find no typos.

8. Might the possessors of the Epstein files

…be seeking to compel actions while the files are still mostly unreleased? As more become public, don’t they lose value? Wouldn’t those who have them want to get value before they become worthless?

12. I've tried to tell people the same thing

I've believed all along Trump was going to use them to solicit bribes from people in the files. That was the entire reason to have Bondi and Patel stand there and make those comments about the list and whatnot.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Israel's involvement in the Epstein international blackmail and extortion scheme may be part of the reason behind this Iran strike.

9. Here is a straight-up fascist quote from a cabinet member:

Flying over their capital. Death and destruction from the sky all day long. We’re playing for keeps. Our warfighters have maximum authorities granted personally by the president and yours truly. Our rules of engagement are bold, precise, and designed to unleash American power, not shackle it. This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they’re down, which is exactly how it should be.

11. As to number 4,

Voter registration databases are public information. In Ohio, specifically, anyone can download a complete state-wide list. That list includes full name and address, date of birth, date of registration, primary party ballots voted, and voting record for the last decade or so. There are other things included - but the basic point is that the information was available to anyone via a link on the SOS website as a .csv file.

13. We can't ignore that Musk and his Ballotpedia Doge Boys data mined voter rolls prior to the 2024 election..

so as to know the #s they needed to hit in swing states to insure a Trump win. And even if that data is
a matter of public record it is still very useful in making sure that the desired outcome is reached. Btw
the D.o.J. has zero business looking @ that data especially when you understand just how dirty the D.o.J./
the FBI/Pam Bondi are. They have agendas. In 2016 the Trump campaign sent its polling data via
Paul Manafort to the Russian Konstantin Kilimnik and Russia used that data to make data analytics
which gave a road map to where and when the needed rat fucking had to happen.
