I hate when people say “I talked to ____ amount of _____ and they said”

How many did they ask overall? How did the majority of the experts feel? Did the people you talked to have political leaning?

It would be a much better article and believe able if they had a blind poll of asked 100 former FBI agents and/or 100 former prosecutors.

If you believed some or the majority of the CNN experts Trump would have been in prison years ago.

You can find a lot experts that fit your narrative if you look hard enough
VFW bar’s are usually pretty good. You didn’t have to former military to go

Depends on if they use the VA and if they have noticed any changes since Trump’s been in office.

Customer service is definitely worse, but care is the same. Sisters-n-Law has had a lot of complaints on her department.

Her office now has double the amount of people in it while the other office sits empty in the same complex.

What a surprise the noodle arm fricker throws two picks and accounts for zero TDs.

This defense is wasted

Almost every throw past 10 yards was under thrown especially on the left side of the field. Pass over the middle to Johnson was a TD if he would have led him. Pass to Coleman on 4th down should have been an easy TD.

He took a sack with 2 people open over the middle in the1st half on his 3 step drop, but held onto the ball for a short loss.

Pribula sucks. Cook would have played better in all the games we have lost. He would have won the Vandy game and could have won the Bama and the OU game.

I am a Brady Cook hater, but prefer him over Pribula. Hopefully Horn has watched Pribula and knows he will be the starting QB next year.

Depends on how the legislature wrote the state law.

With enough signatures Missouri can make it a state initiative. The amendment wouldn’t be voted on until the fall of 2026, so if the amendment passes the map wouldn’t take effect until 2028.

The democrats have a good system to easily get enough legit signatures for it to be put on the 2026 ballot.

quote:

To get initiatives on the 2024 and 2026 general election ballots, the minimum number of signatures required is 170,215 for initiated constitutional amendments and 106,384 for initiated state statutes and veto referendums. These numbers were calculated through looking at voting totals in the six smallest congressional districts. If other districts are targeted for signature collection, the requirements will be higher.[1]

They only need around 18,000 signatures from each district and they will try to get at least double the amount needed. That means the new congressional map won’t take effect in Missouri until 2028 if the map passes.

The legalization of marijuana got over 385,000 and the abortion initiative got over 380,000. They only need 108,000
quote:

The dem narrative is that it is just a continuing downward trend that started in 2023.

There has been a decline in overall crime in Missouri. One of the reasons is changes in marijuana laws.

2010 18,000 arrest
2014 16,800
2018 15,893
Medical Marijuana legalized
2022 8,863
Legalization
2023 1,015

Missouri had 802 homicides in 2020 and 612 in 2023. St Louis passed gun laws that target people under the age of 19. St Louis homicides dropped from 263 in 2020 to 150 in 2024.

From late 2006 until 2024 pseudoephedrine laws continue to get more strict. In the early 2000’s pseudoephedrine could be bought over the counter and now you have to have a Rx.

From 2006 to 2018 Missouri’s strict laws brought arrest from meth production down 96%. Most of the arrest are now trafficking and possession. There were 2,000 lab arrest in 2012 and 50 in 2018.

There is a substantial decrease in crimes over the last 10 to 15 years.
Turn that graph around from 1975 and it looks almost the same as the rise in US debt graph by year.

The problem has, for a long time, been Millennials and now GenZ people living well above their means.

Don’t think that’s just a Millennial or Gen Z problem. It’s been happening for decades

The belief of I’ve work, so I deserve this is the problem.

Late Boomers and Generation X are just as bad. I had an aunt and uncle that lived in one of my parents rent houses at a discount while making just as much money, but blowing their money on things they couldn’t afford. When it was time to retire they had nothing.

Buying brand new cars and living in a run down mobile home and spending money on family vacations they can’t afford are examples Gen X families have done for years.

examined the Epstein files

They examined Epstein federal court files. The files they examined were a small portion of the 300 gigabytes of material the FBI has investigated. It also does not include state files or files from France and other European countries.

Bank records were not part of the federal court files. The bank records will lead back to people that have not been named.

Call me callous, but I think the sexual crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and associates have already been addressed through prosecutions and/or civil compensation. I believed the DOJ when they stated in their July Memorandum that the Epstein files showed that no one else should be criminally charged

3 people were arrested and there should be many more.
1. Ghislaine Maxwell-Plead guilty without naming names
2. Jeffrey Epstein-“Suicide” by hanging himself in jail before he named names
3. Jean-Luc Brunel-“Suicide” by hanging himself in jail before he named names

Files for the 3 people arrested have not been released. Jean-Luc Brunel was arrested in Paris trying to flee the country. France will have files that were given to the US. Brunel sent girls to Epstein in Florida, NY, and the Virgin Islands. Some of the girls were as young as 12.

traditional/conservative culture

They may have a traditional/conservative culture, but with that comes to little or no morals. Like most hereditary governments it is full of corruption. Corruption runs deep in there royal family, government, military, law enforcement, corporations/businesses.

There were princes that were friends with Epstein and don’t care to admit it.

They don’t have a problem with human trafficking.

AI is supposed to leave many unemployed. When that happens, you’ll wish you had a sock factory in your town.

If you live Fort Payne, Alabama you would lucky. They are the official sock capital of the world. They’ve been making socks since 1907
Getting manufacturing in the US is hard and some of the factories are paid for by grants. The Obama administration gave LG a $151 million grant to open a battery plant in Michigan. After a few years of talks in 2016 LG came to an agreement to build and a plant in Clarksville, TN. Thy used grants and incentives to help build the plant. The announcement was made in February 2017 and finished in 2018. In 2022 LG expanded their EV plants in Michigan, Tennessee, Arizona, and Georgia.

In 2023 a EV battery plant was announced with a $4.3 billion investment from Korea, but in September it and 21 other South Korean ventures were halted after ICE detained around 300 Koreans. Most Korean businesses have started back up.

We need materials from other countries to manufacture what the Korean plants need. If the tariffs are to high it could lead to a halt in building new plants or closing existing plants.
If Trump was asked would he go? Would any of them go voluntarily?

No matter how much we want them all to go it is a no win situation for them

Now yall are on to Melanie protecting pedos? Y’all will go after anyone with Trump as a last name

The models that worked for Brunel definitely knew he was sending girls different places. I would guarantee she knew girls Brunel sent to men. If you don’t believe that you are naive. Do you not think girls talk about different dangers to watch out for. It’s not her fault and probably scary as hell. My point was she knew something and would have told Trump.
quote:

What did Melania tell him?

If he didn’t know anything she would have told him everything she knew.

Brunel was forced out of Trump Tower in late 1999, because of a problem they had with women he was bringing around
If you think he is innocent almost nothing will change your mind.

If you think he is guilty almost nothing is going to change your mind.

He had to know something was wrong with Brunel and Epstein if only from things that Melania told him. Brunel was a supplier of girls to Epstein. Do you think Melania knew this?
If someone wants to believe Trump did something wrong and is in the files they will see it. If someone wants to believe he is being setup or it’s all a coincidence that’s what they will see.

The biggest coincidences in the whole Epstein files goes back to the 90’s with Jean-Luc Brunel.

A few Brunel conspiracies
1. Had an Apartment in Trump Tower
2. Brunel was a modeling agency executive and scout from Paris. Trump started his modeling agency Trump Model Management when he had an apartment at Trump Tower
3. Brunel was known for sending girls as gifts to powerful people. He sent Epstein 3 12 year girls for his birthday. Melania was one of his models. She started dating Trump when he had an apartment in Trump tower
4. Epstein visited Brunel when he was at Trump Tower. During this time period there pictures and videos of Trump with Epstein.
5. Brunel died of suicide by hanging himself in jail

Is it the same as doctor patient confidentiality agreement?

If the patients files are stolen and gives them to a Dr who talks about them on CNN or FoxNews has he broke the law? It looks bad

What if the patient is the president and he is diagnosed with dementia. The Dr that got the stolen files should feel obligated to release the emails.
