Hey all
Apparently we humans won't give up until the last person on earth has been exterminated. War, hatred, racism, fanatical rights, oppression and I could list many more facts, every country thinks they are "the better people" - today we didn't have that already? I wish you a great Sunday

Chris Christie announced he's formally suspending his campaign for the GOP nomination for the 2024 presidential election. I've seen a few of his public meetings and news casts where he was asked to speak. His goal was clear and his statements accurate, however he didn't have the campaign funds and more importantly never had the polling numbers to continue.

As much as I learned in school, anyone can run for President as long as they are over 35 and a natural born citizen of the US. It is part of democracy that our forefathers determined made a free country.
Around the world we see how the people don't count and votes don't either. From Kings to Dictators to military rule, leaders are ordered and appointed, not elected.
Putin has a simple answer to a rival..put him in jail in Siberia. Other countries just cause accidents or threats to prevent anyone running against the chosen leader. And his henchmen.
Now we have states saying Trump can't be on the primary ballots. They site some part of number 14 that is about insurgents. It doesn't matter that Trump has not been found guilty of the part they say he played on Jan 6. The judge is judge and jury and states to H with the trial, she says he is guilty.
I see a major break down in our democracy. Putin/Navaly...the libs/Trump.
I guess Trump is lucky that he hasn't fallen out of a window, drank tea or had a plane failure.
Also, I see what the Dems are doing is voter suppression and over turning a free election the same way.
Long ago a man ran for POTUS from his prison cell. I guess back then, we still were a Democracy and not a Banana Republic.

Ekaterina Duntsova – the next president of RF?



“JOURNALIST AND ACTIVIST
A mother of three, 40-year-old Ekaterina Duntsova lives in Rzhev (55,000 inhabitants), the second largest city in the Tver region bordering the Moscow region.
”
The biggest news of the last months in Russia and among every one else, who is interested in Russian Federation. She is running for a president of RF. She’s against the war.

Now it’s known, that she’s been denied some procedure to continue here move. Do you watch? Do you care? Do you support? I do.

I told my boyfriend that I can’t watch governor Newsom because he’s too good looking. I can’t focus on what he’s saying. I told him so I have to rely on your interpretation. My boyfriend said he tries to tell other states what to do even though he’s governor of California. And you can’t disagree with anything he says because he’s the governor of California. I suppose his only redeeming quality is his looks then.

And no my boyfriend didn’t mind that I said that about Newsom. He’s secure in himself. I’m actually the one ashamed of myself that I can’t even focus on a word he says because he’s beautiful. I’m a sucker for beauty.

The Supreme Court will decide if Trump can be kept off 2024 presidential ballots

NEWS By Associated Press
The Supreme Court said Friday it will decide whether former President Donald Trump can be kept off the ballot because of his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, inserting the court squarely in the 2024 presidential campaign.

The justices acknowledged the need to reach a decision quickly, as voters will soon begin casting presidential primary ballots across the country. The court agreed to take up a case from Colorado stemming from Trump's role in the events that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Arguments will be held in early February."

Melania Trump ‘quietly renegotiates prenup’ – media

The former US first lady is seeking to secure her financial future and that of her son Barron, reports claim
Melania Trump ‘quietly renegotiates prenup’ – media

Former US First Lady Melania Trump is believed to have “quietly” renegotiated her prenuptial agreement with her husband Donald Trump as the ex-president’s legal issues continue to mount, the New York Post has claimed.

The Slovenian born ex-model who has maintained a low profile since Joe Biden succeeded her husband as US president in January 2021, amended the terms in order to secure her own financial future, as well as that of their 17-year-old son Barron Trump, the newspaper reported earlier this week citing anonymous sources.

The report comes just days after a judge in New York ruled that Donald Trump had committed widespread and prolonged real-estate fraud – including while he was president - by artificially inflating the value of his holdings by billions of dollars.

“This is at least the third time Melania has renegotiated the terms of her marital agreement,” a source told the New York Post. “Melania is most concerned about maintaining and increasing a substantial trust for their son, Barron.”

The report adds that Melania Trump’s legal team began talks with Donald Trump’s representatives last year, at around the time that the former president began signaling that he was preparing to begin a bid to regain the White House in the 2024 presidential election.

Donald Trump has subsequently been faced with an array of legal issues, including four criminal indictments and possible imprisonment. He denies all claims of wrongdoing.

“It’s not that she threatened to leave him,” the New York Post’s source said. “I know that she wanted it to provide her with more money and also, from what I understand, there’s a specific amount at minimum that Barron is supposed to obtain.”

In addition to the real-estate fraud case in New York, Donald Trump also faces myriad legal issues. He is alleged to have made illegal ‘hush money’ payments to an adult film actress, and to have wilfully mishandled classified government documents at his Florida estate. He is also facing charges related to election meddling in the state of Georgia.

He has denied all allegations of illegality, and said this week that the New York real-estate case is “un-American” and a “scam” designed by his political opponents to impact his campaign to return to the White House.

On Friday, an ally of Donald Trump, Republican poll-watcher Scott Hall, pleaded guilty to conspiring to interfere with the process of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. He is expected to testify against Trump in upcoming court proceedings.

it happened before and can happen again. Just different and no one takes it serious until its too late.

It's reported that former vice-president Mike Pence dropped out of the race to win the Republican presidential nomination today. He's quoted as saying: “After much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president effective today."
Sorry Mike, you didn't have a prayer to begin with...
While many think you shouldn't have tried for a campaign, being at the bottom of the polls and never gaining traction. This decision is months overdue.

President can have ten years in office, two usually from the proceedings death or resignation then two four year terms.
If elected again he has four years.
He could become someones VP and they may resign allowing him his extra two years.
After all this I would pull a stunt like that.
