I can't help it to confirm in my mind that there's a whole lot of MAGAts that whooped it up and cheered when they saw the clip of one of their own hit that student with his car.

It's a fact the more Trump takes a ratings hit and spiral downward as a trend, the more upset his MAGAts become and true to form, they express their anger with violence against Trump's perceived enemies because this is precisely what Trump wants out of his minions. He wants to suppress and eliminate any form of criticism about him. However, with the ubiquitous cellphone cameras at the ready, the practice of lying their asses off whenever Trump and his disciples commit crimes and then try to shirk responsibility for their actions simply doesn't work anymore.

The eyewitnesses and phone cam recordings of the recent murders perped by Trump's punk thugs proved far too convincing for Trump and his lackeys to try to bullshit their way out of. Yet they, meaning Trump, his hirelings and that propaganda entertainment cable station they run sure did give it their best shot. And glory be, it totally backfired in their faces when the plethora of evidence showed up and proved the Trump propaganda campaign to shift blame onto their victims was as phony as Trump being POTUS.

You have to wonder just how much $$$ that driver is going to get gifted with from his go fund me account.
It will happen. Those people are the scum of the earth.

It is good they are taking this action now but they only did it under pressure from a lot of outside forces. Now they need to expand it to cover the shooting of Renee Good.


Trump Administration Expands Investigation of Pretti Killing

Now, federal investigators, including lawyers from the Justice Department’s civil-rights division, will participate in the probe, as is common after almost every high-profile killing by a law-enforcement officer. They will study video footage, talk to witnesses and consider other evidence, Blanche said. Homeland Security Investigations, which had been leading the probe, is now in a supporting role, officials said.

Yes, don't expect much to come from the Trump DOJ, investigating Trump's Brown Shirt executioners. Remember that the DOJ is 100% under Trumps thumb and is now used mainly to prosecute Trumps personal enemies.

What investigators find is meaningless, it will be run by Trump first, and he will decide to either let them off or not. He might have them prosecuted as a political calculation, but it won't be anything like justice.

So you guys ever watch Technology Connections? This is the midwestern guy guy who does deep dives on why dishwasher pods suck, why Peltier mini fridges barely work and how to jury rig European electric kettles using UAE plugs and a 7KW EV charger to boil a liter of water in a minute.

His latest is on solar panels and battery storage. It’s his usual interesting deep dive on the technology and worth watching.

What isn’t usual is the fake video ending at 1:02:40 followed by an amazing rant that is definitely worth the watch. Edit (rant starts around 1:18:30)

By the end he’s saying wake up and smell the fascism, calling for the abolishment of ICE, no voting for repubs, voting in democratic primaries to tell corporate democrats what we expect them to do.

Jump to around 1:18:30.

Whatever happens in these Trump run investigations is done for the exclusive purpose of protecting him and the perception of himself that he wants to project. He is one of if not the dirtiest president to have ever held the office, the whole nation knows this yet he still wants to maintain a certain image that he sees of himself.

It doesn't matter what he does or how badly he behaves. All that matters to him is whatever it is in his rotting mind that he sees himself as of which is dangerously beyond the realm and scope of reality. Moreso, the image he wants to project of himself is the same image his minions imagine they see in him. They've all set off down the Yellow Brick Road to a place where Trump is omnipotent, universally adored and revered. And no matter what he is in reality, he wants to cram that self-image down our throats by sheer force of personality.

That's where he's been having a problem with. Where he used to get clean away with lying his ass off reshaping reality to his liking, he's now more than ever being seen as the looney senile angry old man. He's pissed off at the world because what worked before has run out of steam. Every single bad thing he's done is catching up to him and the speed of which he stayed ahead of it all has slowed down to a painful pitiful crawl.

Mr. Shifty's get up and go has done got up and left. The end is nigh. He can feel his life-force draining from his body. The Accountant is at his doorstep about ready to break his door open and announce himself as The Reaper.

Sad thing about it all is that the worst is yet to come because the more dislikable things get for him, the more unpredictably dangerous he becomes.
