Possible negatives to plan for after passage of OBBB. [Hidden Content]

Both Parties have no one to blame but themselves for the public’s loss of trust in our institutions. In their attempts to ‘win’ politically for control of the people—who they’re supposed to be serving instead of ruling—they’ve both fabricated conspiracies that have been very detrimental. Now, the Dems have an anarchist, Socialist/Communist problem, and the Reps have a radical protectionist, conspiracy believing, anti immigrant problem. Both have a lack of trust problem, and it shows in every poll. They have created the decline we’re seeing by their own respective desires for power. There’s no going back now. The best thing that can happen now is a delegation back to more local control where the people have more direct input again. As it was intended from the beginning. JMHO

I’m pretty sure you’re wrong. I think he’s scrambling to put the genie back in the bottle.

Not sure a judge is going to want his/her handling of their case under the scrutiny this will receive. I just don’t see much being released. Self preservation and CYA mode from the judges. I also believe Trump has invested a lot in getting people to believe in corruption & the Deep State. People are always ripe for conspiracy theories. They’re like mysteries people want to solve. He created this mess himself and it blew out of his control. I don’t believe he anticipated his own turning on him after he fed them the conspiracy bait all this time. Nothing will come of this except for a few books down the road.

Elvis is probably listed in the flight logs.

Nice also. But, I always get guilted into stopping at Russell Stover. I prefer guilting myself into stopping at Atkinson’s in Lufkin. LOL I’m a sucker for Chick-O-Sticks. Buy ‘em in bulk.😁

Avoid it like the plague. We’ve been taking 59 & heading up E Texas & Lufkin/Athens/Rockwall way to get north of DFW. Prettier drive anyway.

I’m more concerned he was enjoying a soccer match. That’s like watching paint dry, and you leave happy with a tie. WTH?

Shoot. That crap starts at 3:00. Besides, 10-E is almost as bad & it’s closer for him. Used to be able to take 73. Now it’s no fun. Must be all them Yankees from north of I-10 moving in.

You just keep thinking Butch. It's what you're good at.

Low form of wit. Just my speed.

Not very fast. His ankles are swollen. Big news story.

Off topic, but you should give credit when it’s due. Just signed 7/16/25. Fentanyl law I referred to in previous post. Sad it was overshadowed by all this other crap. Dan Crenshaw was also an original sponsor. I’ve read the cartels have actually put a price on his head. [Hidden Content]

From what I’ve been able to catch up on, multiple judges are involved all over the country.

Correct. It’s really a big nothing burger conspiracy. Trump—as has been true in many cases—evidently doesn’t realize even POTUS can’t direct a judge to do something in a criminal case. Appears he still believes he can do pretty much anything he wants as POTUS. While I like many of his policies—especially the new law he recently signed that few heard about making fentanyl a Class 1 so cartels and others could really be hammered—he thinks he can do a lot of things he really cannot. Overall, I think he’s done a decent job so far in fulfilling what the voters asked. Definitely have been some hiccups along the way in some of the implementation.

That was BD’s video. I just replied with it attached. Interesting video.

The real question that needs to be answered is—as much conspiracy theory as there is running around in this thread—“How many of y’all have actually been abducted, anal probed, and were they really green with big eyes?” Just want to know what to look out for…asking for a friend.

Even Trump can’t force a judge to unseal records. He and/or DOJ can only make the request. It’s solely up to the judge.

You two have been talking past each other and playing ‘gotcha’ for awhile. It’s been fun to watch. You are —obviously—anti anything Trump, and BD is your opposite. I’m not a fan of many politicians—period. But, I do like what Rand Paul & Dan Crenshaw have to say more than most, and Kennedy from Louisiana always gives me a chuckle.

Wish I’d seen this before my last post above. But, it does follow my earlier thoughts I posted about the judges involved having records sealed. Approval would have to be given to unseal. Sounds more and more like Trump over promised and under delivered as has been the case a lot, and Bondi spoke without thinking.

I don’t know everything many of y’all do about this case because it wasn’t a primary issue affecting how our government operates, it didn’t affect national security, the economy, or immigration. But, Trump has continuously used The Deep State narrative to his advantage. This may be another time where he did, spoke in his normal overly bravado ‘tough guy’ talk, and it’s come back to bite him in the butt. Bondi—in an effort to suck up & caught up in the moment—also went overboard on her narrative. Not sure all these supposed names were ever collected except for specific cases like Prince Andrew. They apparently weren’t needed for the cases against Epstein and Maxwell. Should this be pursued? I guess so. IF the minors involved want to press any charges against the estate of Epstein. Just my thoughts.

Double post

Agree that the Biden Administration would’ve released info. Wasn’t aware Trump banned him at all. Haven’t kept up. Like I said, it reminds me of the release of the Kennedy files, or Geraldo opening Capone’s safe.
