Yes, Hurd worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for nine years, from 2000 to 2009.
Wouldn't that be a good job for a future President?
Oh, you are going to say it is better to have created an online Fake University.

Will Hurd
Strengths: He's smart and young, and wants to talk about the future of the party and the country. He also brings diversity as one of two Black men running for the GOP nomination.
Weaknesses: He's largely out of step with where the heart of the Trump-loving GOP is. He called Trump "lawless" in his announcement video, said he should have dropped out after the Access Hollywood tape was made public in 2016 and he criticized the former president after the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., and over his administration's family separation immigration policies. Though Hurd voted for a ban on abortions after 20 weeks, he has also looked for bipartisanship on issues from immigration to LGBTQ rights.

During her demo, Hanson Robotics CEO David Hanson asked Sophia if she wanted to destroy humans, pleading with her to say no. To which Sophia cheerfully replied: “Okay, I will destroy humans.”

Trump was a serial violator of his oath—as evidenced by his continual use of his office for personal financial gain—but focusing on three crucial ways in which he betrayed it helps clarify his singular historical status. First, he failed to put the national-security interests of the United States ahead of his own political needs. Second, in the face of a devastating pandemic, he was grossly derelict, unable or unwilling to marshal the requisite resources to save lives while actively encouraging public behavior that spread the disease. And third, held to account by voters for his failures, he refused to concede defeat and instead instigated an insurrection, stirring a mob that stormed the Capitol.
A fitting punishment would be the removal of his name from the Presidential Records.

"We've tolerated presidential lies ever since the beginning of the republic," says Professor Eric Alterman, author of Lying In State: Why Presidents Lie - And Why Trump Is Worse.
"But Donald Trump is the Frankenstein's monster of a political system that has not merely tolerated lies from our leaders, but has come to demand them."
Prof Alterman says the Capitol rioters, radicalised by conspiracy theories about stolen elections and satanic cabals, underscore the extent to which Trump inspired the "creation of an entire world of unreality".

Trump got 74 million votes. Only 46 percent of his Party support him now. That is 33 million people.
There are 332 million people in the USA, so only 10 percent of the people in the USA support him.

Donald Trump has been criminally charged in a separate federal investigation into efforts to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election.
If he is found guilty he should be removed as the 45th President and all his records expunged.
Remember that he was not elected by the people, but lost his 2016 election by 2.8 million votes.

Yes, President Trump in 2017 said the disaster relief effort in Puerto Rico is complicated because it is “surrounded by water.”
“This is an island, surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water,” the president said during a speech in Washington on his tax plan.
The comments come as Trump has come under fire for his administration’s response to Hurricane Maria.
Trump has repeatedly cited Puerto Rico’s location as a hurdle toward a speedier recovery.

But intepirdine, like every other Phase III Alzheimer’s study failed.

HOW I AM LIKE DONALD TRUMP
for D.T. and other lonely people
Yesterday I said the thing
I was trying to say
perfectly to myself. I am something
astounding, I am like the Grand
Canyon, I said, by which I meant
I sometimes feel hedged in
by those who would sweat in hot cars for days
just to stand and look at me. And people think
I am saying I am a spectacle, a wonder
surrounded by nothing
as huge as me, and people think I am
claiming majesty. People travel for days
to look at the most important canyon, which is to say
the biggest empty space. Sometimes
I might as well kick pea gravel over the side
rather than try to explain who I am
and wait until I hear it hit the ground.
What I am trying to say
in small, hard words that always fall away
from what I mean,
is I am not the canyon, the immense
perfection of its depth, I am more
the missing earth dispersed,
trying to feel whole, to believe
that God makes sometimes
by taking away.

In 1918, Albert Einstein was one of the founding members of the German Democratic Party, a liberal party.: 83 However, later in his life, Einstein was in favor of socialism and in opposition to capitalism. In his 1949 essay "Why Socialism?", he wrote:
I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow-men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society.

Hindus worship many gods and goddesses in addition to Brahman, who is believed to be the supreme God force present in all things.
Some of the most prominent deities include:
- Brahma: the god responsible for the creation of the world and all living things
- Vishnu: the god that preserves and protects the universe
- Shiva: the god that destroys the universe in order to recreate it
- Devi: the goddess that fights to restore dharma
- Krishna: the god of compassion, tenderness and love
- Lakshmi: the goddess of wealth and purity
- Saraswati: the goddess of learning

Yes, in politics, a dog whistle is the use of coded or suggestive language in political messaging to garner support from a particular group without provoking opposition. The concept is named after ultrasonic dog whistles, which are audible to dogs but not humans. Dog whistles use language that appears normal to the majority but communicates specific things to intended audiences. They are generally used to convey messages on issues likely to provoke controversy without attracting negative attention.

This is one of the best comments on the video.
During the phone call, listen for yourself...he actually tells the listeners that he (Trump) won EVERY SINGLE STATE and STATEHOOD - referring to county, parish, city, etc. In other words, he was telling everyone - "I won every single election in 2020 for President. Even in the most liberal/democratic counties in all of the USA, I won those too." Imagine how deluded that is. Imagine people who still love this man.

This is what Ramaswamy posted:
TRUTH. 1. God is real. 2. There are two genders. 3. Human flourishing requires fossil fuels. 4. Reverse racism is racism. 5. An open border is no border. 6. Parents determine the education of their children. 7. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind. 8. Capitalism lifts people up from poverty. 9. There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four. 10. The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.

For the U.S. government, an outbreak of widespread political violence inside the country’s borders would necessarily become a military operation. U.S. militias are significant enough that the FBI or the Department of Homeland Security would simply be insufficient to deal with them. Only the U.S. military could be capable of dealing with insurgent forces. And from a tactical point of view, any engagement between U.S. forces and a militia (or any insurgent force of any kind for that matter) would be entirely one-sided. Despite the preparations of right-wing militias, and despite the sheer number of weapons available in the United States, the U.S. Marines are still the U.S. Marines. No militia or organized group of militias could compete with them in battle.
What's the name of the militia you are leading?

In an excerpt from The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021, by veteran reporters Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, published by The New Yorker, we learn that the 45th president wished his generals would emulate top Nazi officials. According to Baker and Glasser, Trump hated that his top generals didn’t just blindly follow whatever ridiculous, dangerous, possibly illegal demands made of them, but rather “had rules, standards, and expertise, not blind loyalty.” One day, irate that his generals weren’t treating him with the level of respect he thought he deserved, Trump complained to his then chief of staff, John Kelly: “You fucking generals, why can’t you be like the German generals?”
Remember that Trump had a copy of Mein Kampf on his night stand.
