Guys, it’s totally normal that Trump is having annual physicals every 4.3 months and then bragging about how he “passed” his physical and then falling asleep the next day during an on camera cabinet meeting.

“My only regret,” Rhodes said in the days after Jan. 6, “is that they didn’t bring rifles.” “We could have fixed it right then and there.” www.lawfaremedia.org/article/oath...
As he planned to disrupt the transfer of power by any means necessary, Nestler says, Rhodes used the Insurrection Act as legal cover. As proof of that claim, Nestler plays a clip of Rhodes instructing Oath Keepers to refer to the Insurrection Act because it could provide "legal cover." According to Nestler, Rhodes thought the act "would give him and his followers plausible deniability."
In December 2020, Nestler alleges, Rhodes told others that Jan. 6 represented a "hard constitutional deadline" to stop the presidential transition. But as that date drew near and a peaceful transition became "more and more likely," Rhodes and his co-conspirators grew "more and more desperate." According to Nestler, Rhodes spent tens of thousands of dollars on firearms and made preparations to store them at a Comfort Inn in Virginia, a state with laws that are more gun-friendly than Washington, D.C. The group's so-called quick reaction force would be stationed at the hotel, prepared to transport the weapons into D.C.-by boat or otherwise—if needed.
Even after Jan. 6, Nestler continues, Rhodes howed no remorse. He plays a recording dated Jan. 10. 'My only regret is that they should have brought rifles," Rhodes says. "We

1. On March 11, Trump toured a Thermo Fisher Scientific facility in Ohio and repeatedly praised the company. On *the same day* Trump bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of Thermo Fisher stock. The purchase was "UNSOLICITED," meaning it was requested by the customer, not recommended by an advisor.

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below
The New York Times: The American president’s comments had been released over the weekend, after Mr. Trump left a summit with Mr. Xi in Beijing on Friday. He said he was keeping on hold a decision about a package of weapons to Taiwan worth around $14 billion, and described it as a “very good negotiating chip” that could be used with Beijing.

“I’m holding that in abeyance and it depends on China,” he said in an interview with Fox News. It was not immediately clear what Mr. Trump wanted China to do in return.The New York Times: The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises.

Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response.

“I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.
