Anyone know where Paul has been?

paul was last here 2 days before Thanksgiving 11-25-25

Could be he's in the hospital, deceased, other life event or maybe he just decided he'd had enough LPF.

I had his name and address as I had mailed him a host before, but I didn't save it, so I have no way of knowing if there's an obituary.

23 Dems join House Republicans to kill progressive's Trump impeachment bid.​


A lone progressive's effort to impeach President Donald Trump failed Thursday, with nearly two dozen Democrats joining the House GOP to quash it.

Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, moved to get a vote on two articles of impeachment Wednesday night via a privileged resolution, a mechanism allowing lawmakers to force action on a bill within two legislative days.

Republicans called for a vote to table the measure on Thursday, a move that effectively kills consideration of the bill itself when a privileged resolution is called for.

Twenty-three Democrats joined Republicans in pushing the impeachment aside. A significant number of Democrats also voted "present," including all three senior leaders — House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar, D-Calif.

Has Paul also decided to leave LPF? Red, why do you think he's dead? I hope not! Anyway, I see that LPF is getting worse and worse, not better. Is trolling still a thing? Thank goodness I haven't been in a while. And then you said I was the only one who was the bête noire!

I didn't say paul was dead, I suggested it as 1 of 4 suspected possibilities.
That said I don't wish death on the guy, it's just a possibility of which I listed 4.
#1 Sick
#2 Dead
#3 Life event such as moving, taking a holiday, or maybe his pc/internet crapped out..... although it's been 2 weeks.
#4 Maybe he just got tired of LPF and called it quits?
 

Of course we know this civil suit was kangaroo court Trump hate contrived political lawfare, that's why they couldn't make a criminal case against Trump.​

E Jean Carroll’s DNA refusal tainted verdict against Trump, allies tell Supreme Court.​


E. Jean Carroll's civil judgments against President Donald Trump should be vacated because she declined to pursue or permit DNA testing at trial that could have answered questions about what really happened decades ago, Trump allies argued in a new Supreme Court filing that sharply criticizes the trial court's evidentiary rulings.

In an amicus brief filed with the high court on Thursday, America First Legal, a conservative legal group founded by senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller, urged the justices to review the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit's decisions upholding two New York jury verdicts that forced Trump to pay more than $88 million in fees to the former Elle magazine columnist. The Trump-aligned group told the justices that the lower courts allowed unreliable accusations to reach jurors while blocking rebuttal evidence, including details surrounding Carroll's claims about DNA, in ways that denied Trump a fair trial.

Laura Stell, counsel at AFL, said selective application of evidentiary rules threatens public confidence in the judiciary.

"Without equal application of the law, in both form and substance, the American justice system unravels," she said. "The Supreme Court must intervene to preserve the integrity of our legal process and prevent future abuse."
 

Democrats struggle to push back on Minnesota fraud scandal that only grows.​


The massive, multiyear social-services fraud scandal in Minnesota is a spiraling mess.

Federal prosecutors have already convicted more than 60 people and many others have been charged. The scandal has drawn the attention of President Trump and congressional investigators, who allege a link between immigrant communities and government theft.

The outcry has put a number of Minnesota Democrats with national profiles on the defensive, including Gov. Tim Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar. Both Walz and Omar have decried the fraud, which appears to have exceeded $1 billion.

Often when politicians wade into law-enforcement matters, facts can get fuzzy, but there is agreement that fraud is a huge problem for the U.S. budget. And many experts believe fraud is, well, out of control.

The nonpartisan and nonpolitical Government Accountability Office has estimated that “the federal government loses between $233 billion and $521 billion annually to fraud” based on data from 2018 to 2022. That’s a gigantic level of theft.

One of the goals of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency was to root out fraud, waste and abuse, but it didn’t have the investigative authority to really dig into the more-structural problems.
