It's nearly impossible to keep it from leaking from one server to another, even in a classified environment. Government systems are made to back everything up. Everything.

Time for a loud public reminder of the long string of treasonous behavior by the yam and his cast of unqualified hundreds and how it undermined our ability to maintain any semblance of a functioning democracy.

We could go so far as to bring up the consequences for historical atomic research spying.

But a fraction, perhaps sizable, can have their hypnotic delusion cracked with truth.



How do we counter “the big lie?” That can only be done by “the big truth,” that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election and that Donald Trump lost, endlessly repeated by as many sources as possible. Most Republican leaders in Congress have stated publicly that Biden won. Almost all Republican members of Congress and all but a small handful of Trump loyalists admit privately that Biden won. Now if they would only say that publicly.

is from Faux Noise, OAN, Newsmax, or reich-wing radio, that'll never hear a word about the "Big Lie" or what a drubbing Drumpf took in the election from Biden. The official reich-wing propaganda outlets aren't going to tell the cult anything close to the truth. Not that the cult would believe them, even if they did.

Like all the judges — including some appointed by Dump — weighing “evidence” of voter fraud — in case after case — saw there was no “there” there. Fox, OANN etc don’t mention that part. When all the base watches is propaganda, they’ll never get a clue.

Certainly, some people won’t stop being fooled, even when facing reality they recognize. Running eyewitnesses to the insurrection and impeachment 2 on live TV was a missed Golden Opportunity to show a sizable chunk of the base the traitors Dumpy and Co. really are.

anything he has ever said or done?

If they were going to, they would have by now.

All they want to do is "pwn the libs." In other words, bring the entire world crashing down, even if it kills the, because it will kill everyone and they think they'll be the last.

Not that these aren't all good ideas. And should be acted on. But, my God, can we please stop expecting miracles?

Hypnotist Richard Barker Shows How Trumpnosis, Donald Trump's Form of Covert Hypnosis, Affects Millions Around the World

NEWS PROVIDED BY
Richard Barker, Incredible Hypnotist
Mar 29, 2016, 08:35 ET

ORLANDO, Fla., March 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hypnotist Richard Barker has just released research surrounding mass hypnosis and has coined the phrase "Trumpnosis".

Trumpnosis.com has been receiving lots of interest as of late. Covert hypnosis means having access to people's subconscious mind and altering the way they behave and think in a disguised or somewhat hidden way. Some popular covert hypnosis techniques used to align someone's behavior and thoughts to the desired outcome of the hypnotists are displayed during mass hypnosis.

Barker typically refers to mass hypnosis as "Trumpnosis", since he states, "Mr. Trump displays it so well". The media have also made comments regarding the Hypnotizing of a nation and questioned what is happening to America. Through the words and actions of an individual, can we influence and suggest a nation to think a certain way? Richard Barker who is known as the 'Incredible Hypnotist' thinks so. Barker said, "Everything we do and see must first start with a thought process. We don't see the world; we think it. If your thoughts are influenced by a master Hypnotist to think in a certain way on a mass level, this is 'Trumpnosis'".

Mass Hypnotism can apply to everything and be everywhere – in families, in schools and in politics. The influence and use of repetition on crowds is identified through Mr. Trump's speeches and is seen to influence even the most enlightened minds. The power is due to the fact that the repeated statements are embedded in those profound regions of our subconscious mind.

Donald Trump successfully uses techniques such as pacing and leading, anchoring, verbal confusion, repetition and so on. He successfully bypasses the critical factor in minds of some people and has the ability to turn off the rational thinking. By using certain words and behavior, a speaker can very quickly establish a rapport with an audience. Repeated exposure to the same speaker can result in them being viewed with admiration, bordering on worship. Every word uttered is accepted as the complete truth.

“ Through the words he has used, both now and in the past, he has placed others into a hypnotic state without them knowing," says Barker. "Trump's speeches contains hypnosis techniques of hypnotic anchoring, pacing and leading, critical factor bypass and so on."

Hypnotist Richard Barker insists, "All you need to remember is that most people's needs are based on their instincts. Understanding people's instincts, especially in a mass gathering, is one of the key goals of mass hypnosis. Trumpnosis is a vehicle for enabling large groups of people to have an altered belief system."

Richard Barker is a World Renowned Professional Hypnotist. He has spent the last 20 years working with thousands of clients across the world. Richard Barker has recently appeared on NBC's The Today Show, CBS' The Late Late Show with James Corden, FOX's Good Day LA and News channels for FOX and ABC http://incrediblehypnotist.com

He has written a new book focusing on Persuasion and Suggestion titled, "Selling Hypnotically. The Art Of Suggestion" http://sellinghypnotically.com

It’s like the guy said in Predator, “If it bleeds, it can be killed.” Of course, he got blasted and gutted, but hey! He gave it the old school try.

So releasing it would be unlikely. And releasing just a selective portion of it would give the appearance of impartiality.

Thank you for this list. I bumped into my republican next door neighbor outside yesterday. Got into politics (never discussed it before with her). She said she couldn't understand why we liberals hate Trump so much. I said I could literally go back to inauguration day of 2017 and tell you a minimum of one thing every.single.day that Trump did that was just awful, from that date to his last day in office

She asked me to name some of the awful things he did. I was having a deer in the headlights moment and could only come up with 2 things....separating kids from their parents and him believing Putin over our intelligence

I can't believe anyone would have the nerve to ask what was so bad about Trump's presidency!! 😤

No modification of her position, regardless of the amount of debunking information there is out there. So, it's no surprise that she supports Il Douche.

Last time we spoke (which will probably be the last time for quite a while) she challenged me to come up with a Democratic accomplishment that matches up with him bringing peace to the Middle East when no one else has been able to.
