certain forces appear to be trying to make sure donald trump never runs for president again.

some republicans are clearly abandoning trump and of course the democratic press has been saying trump is done!

is trump’s goose cooked?

I'm resurrecting this thread as it seems the one with the most appropriate title.
So, Donald Trump is now officially facing criminal charges more serious than those levelled against him so far. The counts are:
- Conspiracy to defraud the United States
- Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding
- Obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding
- Conspiracy against rights
https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-2020-election-probe-08-01-23/index.html
Are these charges what the indictment alleges, an indication that Trump "was determined to stay in power" and "spread lies" in order to try to do so?
Or are they, as Trump's team claim, "un-American witch hunts" and "the latest corrupt chapter in the continued pathetic attempt [...] to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election"?
And whether you think the charges have justification or not, do you think it will derail Trump's re-election campaign? Or make him stronger? Or neither?

Nice tried Journeyman...
Haha! It was taken from an internet meme of a political video well known to most Americans, but less so to us on the other side of the Atlantic! I thought about changing the background but couldn't be bothered. Besides, my photo editing skills are not as rapid as yours!
Maybe he'll wait until winter to do his next begging video? Nah, who am I kidding?

And he still hasn't made the fucking documentary, nor has he met his promises of "growing the channel". He just took the money.
Not only that, but he's still reneging on the other commitments he made to patrons who joined before April this year, when he took down these. Note the points underlined in orange:

I just noticed - at 380+ he committed himself to "travelling to more diverse locations".
His audience was supposed to think that was all about making channel content, but of course it was also about his "recreational activities" with the "locals", like err... (checks notes) scuba diving!

No wonder he's not so keen to keep all these promises about travelling and filming internationally, now that that 'perk' is known by all!

So far, he's lost 106 since his peak after the "Things Are Bad" video in April. That's about half of the increase that it generated.
At this rate of losses (about 20-30 a month), he will be back around his lowest level to date (387) by the end of the year, give or take a month.

As he falls below 500 (492 as I type), I think it's the right time for this image from Toblerone again!

Who the JW's governing body USED to be! 😂😂😂😂

10-11 par.

Everyone knew what was meant when someone said that "the society says this/that."
Yes, you can tell the relative age of a publisher by whether they still say "the society says this/that" or they say today's phrase "the organisation says this/that", or worse, "Jehovah's organisation says this/that" when talking about instructions coming down from higher levels, whether in talks, publications or letters.
The modern-day org have been very successful among the R&F at directly linking God's name to "the organisation" in individual's minds. I can't recall the previous JWs using phrases that linked the two so closely.
There is also the phrase "Jehovah's people" which was used a lot and still is sometimes, but that was usually broader, meaning anyone who was a JW, not just the senior hierarchy.

Someone should find that poor girl in his photo in Thailand to see if she’s ok...
I wonder if he's been back to "visit" her again since, or does he make a new "friend" each time he goes... (checks notes) scuba diving?
