It means they are standing down their anti-Trump election interfering algorithms. Something big is happening behind the scenes.Quote:

Billionaire Elon Musk has said he plans to commit a massive, monthly donation to a new pro-Trump super political-action committee.
Musk had indicated that he planned to start his donations in July to the America PAC, backing former President Donald Trump's presidential run.
The total contribution from the Tesla CEO and head of social media platform X will be a stunning $45 million a month.
I am so surprised by that - NOT.
This JD Vance bloke seems like a nice chap
The 39-year-old said he was "beating up" on the UK, and had discussed with a friend “what is the first truly Islamist country to get a nuclear weapon", then joked "maybe it's Iran, maybe Pakistan kind of counts, and then we sort of decided maybe it's actually the UK since Labour just took over".
What say all you right-leaning folk?
....and who's been out there recently supporting this bunch of nutters?....Braverman, Truss, Farage.....Quote:

Trump started the day with a plaster on his right ear.
Not dramatic enough.
He ended the day with a panty liner taped there!
Fight! Fight! Fight! :hehe:

Blaming the Democrats for this incident , the harming of children , nothing is his fault doing exactly the opposite of what was being suggested from the trump insiders ......a new start , dialogue, concensus
They are full of crap , bollocks to all those idiotic republican redneck clowns 🤡
Switch off the lights
Will be very interesting to hear his speech on Thursday. I don't know if it's protocol for them not to until the end of the conference, but it's quite a piece of political theatre him being at that conference today, all about him and yet not speaking.
He's a cnntQuote:

Biden has tragically lost a wife. He knows what this woman is going through.Quote:

There’s a danger that a failed assassination attempt will lead to a wholesale reassessment of Trumps character. My view is that this would be completely wrong - he’s not the Messiah, he’s still a very naughty boy.Quote:

Now, there is something impressive in the fact that Trump could think like that seconds after a near death experience (I certainly couldn’t do that), but we saw the essence of the man there and it was to act aggressively and incite the crowd in a similar way to what he did on 6/1/21.
As you say, the man does not have a clue what the word empathy means.
