The letter, addressed to lawyers at the New York Times and Penguin Random House, arrived a week before the election. Attached was a discursive ten-page legal threat from an attorney for Donald Trump that demanded $10 billion in damages over “false and defamatory statements” contained in articles by Peter Baker, Michael S. Schmidt, Susanne Craig, and Russ Buettner.

Trump can't admit he lost the debate, so #GOP calls for an investigation

#Republicans are now claiming that ABC News, which hosted the debate, provided Harris with questions in advance and promised to fact-check #Trump while leaving Harris unhindered. They’re also claiming that there is a “whistleblower” willing to detail how ABC helped Harris—though they can’t seem to decide if that whistleblower is dead or alive.

Trump’s real problem is that he’s a #loser who never wants to admit he lost. That was true in 2020, and it’s still true today. To cover up his losing, Trump employs a three-part plan:

  • Insist in advance that his opponents will cheat
  • Claim to have won no matter how badly he lost
  • Then spread #conspiracy theories about why he lost.

Lenin and the Art of the Impossible

The Tree of Woe contemplates the impossibility of revolution:

Every rock star began as a long-haired freak in a garage with a dream of a record deal and groupies. Every best-selling author began as a would-be writer being told that no one buys books. Every successful entrepreneur began by faking it until he made it. Every revolutionary began as a nobody. None of them had the odds on their side. Victory wasn’t assured; it wasn’t even plausible; it was so unlikely as to seem impossible! It was all a LARP… until it wasn’t.¹

The reason so many successful actors, musicians, and politicians are narcissists is that in order to become a highly successful actor, musician, or politician, you have to take long shots against long odds. Often the only people who take long shots against long odds are the people who are self-deluded enough to think they’re better than all the others who tried and failed.

People like Lenin.

#Lenin was a #self-deluded #nobody. He was a #loser. He had accomplished virtually nothing with his life except a stint in the #gulag. He was nowhere near as influential as the well-established figures who currently are prominent among the dissident right. He wasn’t even… #NickFuentes.

But Lenin he changed the world. Sure, he changed it for the worse — but he changed it. And so could we.

The advantage we have as #Christian #Nationalists presently subject to the #wicked #madness of #ClownWorld is that we know, as Bob Marley said, #Babylon is going to fall. Its fall is absolutely 100-percent guaranteed, because Clown World is a #rebellion against #God, God’s #Law, and God’s #Creation. It is a rebellion against #morality, #mathematics, #Nature, and #physics, and as such, it cannot possibly be sustained.

It is our job to be the hard place upon which Clown World shatters. Because Clown World is caught between a rock and a hard place, and the rock, being #JesusChrist, isn’t going to break.

Donald Trump Loses London Case Against Ex-MI6 Spy Over Kremlin Dossier

Donald Trump lost his London lawsuit against an ex-British spy after a court dismissed his claim linked to the notorious dossier about alleged ties between the Kremlin and the former US president’s successful run to the White House.

The Republican Party frontrunner for this year’s presidential election sued ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele and his Orbis business intelligence firm last year in a data-protection case, saying he’d suffered “significant damage and distress” from the publication of the dossier. He’d sought a judge’s ruling that statements in the report were false. ...
