Please DON'T take the "Apprentice" BAIT over today's "announcement"

[Miles Archer]

1). ('m not hearing a lot of Epstein talk...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

2). I'm going to assume that most, if not all DUers, are wise enough to NOT TAKE THE "Is he RESIGNING" bait? NO. He WON'T be RESIGNING. His EGO will not ALLOW it. Check just about ANY Mary Trump rumination over how FRED TRUMP frilled it into young Richie Rich's head that there is NEVER AN EXCUSE for FAILURE, and even if you DO fail, there is NEVER AN EXCUSE for admitting that you DID.

3). It is TOO FUCKING SOON for Trump to CALL OFF THE 2026 Midterms. EVEN IF HE INTENDS TO DO THIS, and it's not a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory, HE WILL NOT BE DOING IT TODAY because he WON'T WANT TO FACE the BLOWBACK. If he tries sending the Military and National Guard into ALL FIFTY STATES to SHOOT anyone who doesn't PRAISE him for cancelling the election, HE WILL RUN OUT OF TROOPS. And PROTESTS would NOT be TOTALLY ABSENT in RED STATES.

4). Barron's pubes finally grew in? MAYBE. Everything else I posted sounds crazy, but on this one, MAYBE.

5). He's pardoning Ghislane Maxwell? No...I think he'll leave her in the country club, on work release detail, and pardon her on the way out the door.

LIKE EVERY OTHER "APPRENTICE" TEASE, what he'll "announce" today will be STUPID, ANTICLIMACTIC, OR one more piece of his REVENGE AGAINST AMERICA for electing Biden in 2020, but NOT ENOUGH TO SEND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS into the streets in protest.

And as always, if I'm wrong, I'll be right back here to freely admit it as soon as that's made known.

1. Yeah - but

The Epstein files are in there somehow. When is the Epstein Victim press conference? 9:30 am. Right?

[Miles Archer]

3. Sure, but he'll just try to detract from that, if that's his rationale

He won't address it or meet it head on. He's too much of a coward for that.

I haven't been paying much attention to the Epstein press conference because I know Trump will do everything in his power to squash it, along with his toadies and lickspittle staffers.

So really, ANYTHING he dangles in front of the media will go a long way toward meeting that goal, because we already know that the media gives attention to Trump FIRST and everyone else LAST.

[Scrivener7]

17. It's tomorrow at 10:30. So he thinks whatever he says

today will dominate the news for a few days.

I'm thinking something to do with martial law in an American city, or something with Venezuela.

[kkmarie]

19. The victims speak tomorrow

22. Thank you!

21. "Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice"

The late Virginia Giuffre who purported to have committed suicide (many think it may not have been suicide) wrote her memoir of Epstein and Maxwell's trafficking in girls and it is due to be released in October. In it she supposedly names some prominent men who were a party to the sexual abuse of minor girls.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Probably will be either a nothing burger or something anticipated

He'll probably announce

A) Architectural design for his white elephant ballroom, which will probably be as popular as his birthday military parade. -- garish nothingburger

B) "Mixed martial arts" knuckle draggers will bash each others' brains out on the WH lawn -- ugly nothingburger

C) Chicago will be invaded -- anticipated fascist move

However, probably unrelated, something caused S&P stock futures to fall off a cliff after 2:00 am CDT. Down 0.5 % now, but caution: early futures trading does not mean much. Volume is always very thin compared to main trading on the exchanges during regular hours. European stock markets mostly opened lower. US Treasury bonds rates have been rising all night (lower prices).

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. It might be some bloviating about tariff taxes.

He's pretending that $150 billion collected in four months ($600 billion / yr) is going to be $8 trillion (maybe over 13 years?)

On Friday, an Appeals Court nixed his tariff taxes.

[Hugin]

4. The whole wellness thing has got the BLOATUS going.

It’s all a show and diversion from EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN!

He’ll probably do a TACO, TOFU, and give Rudes a four seasons medal for something or another.

The point for us is that every time he gets pumped full of whatever miasma cocktail of speed, floor wax, and shellac the Retrumplicans are using to keep the f**ker upright is one less time they will be able to do so.

Keep up the pressure. This is no disco. This isn’t fooling around.

[underpants]

5. Chicago that's my guess

[Callie1979]

7. They certainly didnt help themselves with 50 shootings over the weekend.

The Governor should send in the NG on HIS orders & trump would have no excuse

The Dems do not want to be on the bad side of an 80/20 issue & crime IS that issue. Fight smart not reactionary.

[mopinko]

12. what he's stated is, we'd love help from atf and the fbi.

which is true. in his 1st term he sent a mobile ballistics lab, which led to several arrests.
we have pretty strict gun laws here, but we’re awash in guns from outside the state.

[Callie1979]

23. If he doesnt act preemptively Trump will get the attention.

He'll do this everywhere. We need to just admit that crime IS an issue in some major cities & DO something about it to take away this issue from HIM. Yes, crime is even higher in some red state cities, fine point that out. But it doesnt take away from the problems in OUR cities
I wasnt a big fan of the Chicago mayor's speech saying "we dont need you here" well you dame sure need SOMETHING when you have nearly 60 shootings over just the weekend. So get with the damn program, get with the Gov & DO SOMETHING & dont let trump get the credit. Because if he DOES send in the Guard, those shootings will almost certainly drop; and he'll crow about it for a month.

[mopinko]

24. there was fed money for crime prevention that was cut.

proven programs that were slashed. that was in the speech.
crime didnt go down cuz of gravity. crime goes down when young ppl have alternatives. they slashed that funding. and immigrants arent the 1s committing crimes.
they wont go where the crime is. they’ll mill around downtown, and in other touristy places.

[mopinko]

13. mine too. lots of folks in the streets this weekend, which

means he’ll make a big show of sending in the troops.

[underpants]

20. Nope. Per Fix it's about the DOD - changing name back to Dept. of War

6. It's all part of his hype by staying out of the public

eye for a few days to build excitement for what will be anticlimactic. A 2:00 EST announcement? Wouldn’t the networks give him an 8:00 or 9:00 pm EST slot?

[BoRaGard]

8. G.O.P. Pedophilia Distraction Agents are poised

to splatter gop bullshit and misdirection 24/7. Today is just one gop black op propaganda push among many


Must not let women who were victimized by Epstein (r) and his besties (r) have anyone listen to the tales they tell.

[mdbl]

9. 5). He's pardoning Ghislane Maxwell? No...I think he'll leave her in the country club, on work release detail, and pardo

Time to fire up the civil lawsuits.

[Deep State Witch]

10. I Think He's Going To Announce

That he's giving Ghouliani the Medal of Freedom. He's got us all spun up for nothing.

[Happy Hoosier]

11. He's gonna announce some fake trade deal

Completely fabricated, of course, but he’ll claim victory and the high hopers will have egg on their faces.

[Tribetime]

14. Kid Rock, Scott Baio, and Ted Nugent will join him in a round of golf

[gab13by13]

15. Where do you get your news?

I don't see any of that stuff where I get my news.

The only prediction that I will make for the "announcement" is that Krasnov will have an extra thick coating of putty on his face and probably won't show his right hand.

[thesquanderer]

18. Heck, not only haven't I seen any of that, I haven't even seen report of an announcement! (n/t)

[onenote]

26. I thought you predicted it would be about the census?

[themaguffin]

25. HE CAN'T CALL OFF THE MIDTERMS. That's a non-starter. Please people, stop using that language.
