> [@Mr.Duality](#): > > Maybe you haven’t lost your marbles, but you certainly were careless in your blanket statement, which follows: I do not think that there is anything I have said which is inconsistent with my earlier statements, or with American history in general. This is a country in which people don’t even strike, much less engage in sympathy striking or, God forbid, mass rebellion. One of every 80,000 Trump voters stormed the Capitol. One. Of. Every. 80,000. Americans don’t fight. It’s just not who we are. ---

You realize this entire digression is a result of a misinterpretation of my comment about “Maximum Security,” right? The statement I clarified in the next post? If so, carry on! 😛 ---

The choices from January 6: From Taegan Goddard’s Political Wire: [Two Views of Christmas](https://politicalwire.com/2022/12/25/two-views-of-christmas/) > President Joe Biden [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1606651412280221696): “There is a certain stillness at the center of the Christmas story: a silent night when all the world goes quiet. And all the clamor, everything that divides us, fades away in the stillness of a winter’s evening. I wish you that peace this Christmas Eve.” > Donald Trump [on Truth Social](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/109571188060799356): “Merry Christmas to EVERYONE, including the Radical Left Marxists that are trying to destroy our Country, the Federal Bureau of Investigation that is illegally coercing & paying Social and LameStream Media to push for a mentally disabled Democrat over the Brilliant, Clairvoyant, and USA LOVING Donald J. Trump, and, of course, The Department of Injustice, which appointed a Special ‘Prosecutor’ who, together with his wife and family, HATES ‘Trump’ more than any other person on earth. LOVE TO ALL!” ---

Another big lie from The Diaper Don. There are many people who hate Trump more than Jack Smith. ---

I’d be very surprised if Jack hated trump more than me. “Clairvoyant”? I think this fucker is close to breaking. I don’t understand how _anybody_ can read that message and not, at long last, feel acute embarrassment. It’s like he’s making it as difficult as he can for his sycophants to maintain their worship of him in the face of the whole world mocking the shit out of him. ---

> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > “Clairvoyant”? I’ve been trying to figure out if that was some weird autocorrect, but can’t come up with anything that would make any vague sort of sense. And if he meant to type “clairvoyant”, does he have any clue what that word actually means? I know, it’s a fool’s game to try and decipher the rotting sludge he spews forth. Sometimes I can’t help it. ---

“Clairvoyant” is an admission that he has supernatural powers (just like declassifying documents with his mind), and therefore all the “witch hunts” are perfectly justified! ---

It’s a bigly word, the best word. Nobody used that word before I did. Yesterday a grown man, a big man came up to me with tears in his eyes and said “Sir, that is the best word anyone has ever used.” I have only the best, most expensive words, and the evil media and the corrupt Jack Smith are trying to take my words away from me illegally!!! ---
