As a followup to our base share on SignalGate, Tropical Soulvangelical wants to make a correction. He incorrectly indicated that the reference to Martin O'Malley was in the petition he signed. Instead, it was in a subsequent email he saw regarding the site wanting to make a billboard ad. That's where they talked about Martin O'Malley. But one thing he has been kind of wanting to say for nearly five and a half months now, since Wednesday November 6, was that he's been led to believe that Insurgent and those three outlets he's suspicious of actually -wanted- -trump- to win. He's brought back to that one political cartoon just after George W. Bush won reelection where two regular reporters and an anti-Bush cartoonist high-five each other chanting "Four more years!" The cartoonist had in his hand toward the fourth wall that "chimpy" caricature of Bush we're all familiar with right now, even in the throes of SignalGate. Again since Tuesday, TSV's not seeing any doomsday coverage regarding Social Security or Funny Named Care or the post office. It's all been SignalGate, all week long. But now that we're coming up on the weekend, he's thinking that it'll be half a newscycle into the scandal come Monday, so he's pretty sure they'll go back to their usual nailbiting mostly unconfirmed or unsupported by at least regular reports that show up for TSV both on newsradio and on that 2025 list of events that's pretty much his "newspaper." So why would they want -trump- to win? TSV figures it goes back to those outlets' apparent view with George Carlin about News As Entertainment, which TSV figures must be a concept almost totally alien in smaller and more rural countries where peoples' most main outlet of information is some sort of newsradio. He finds it hard to imagine people in those places getting "glued" to the radio and doomscrolling their radios. Doomscrolling and News As Entertainment TSV takes as western indulgences, or read, western -excess-. TSV wants the people from smaller countries to just frown at us in the sinful west and think, come on guys! But if Harris won, TSV figures she'd be smart and run a smart kind of no-drama-bama type administration which would just be totally dull and ho-hum, because you'd have competent people running the scene who generally know what they're doing. That whole scandalization on Lloyd Austin not telling people he went in for surgery now seems like a forgivable oversight compared to the vagaries of SignalGate. It's those total idiots that provide wall-to-wall political entertainment, and the outlets -are- running a business, so the more eyes are glued to stupid politicians, the more ad revenue the outlets bring in. This is all again part of things TSV tries to remind himself every day that he doesn't think anyone else is really aware of unless they just put down their phones and/or turn the TV off and think, you know what? We -are- a bunch of self-obsessed excessive types, and we need to get a grip. Nobody predicted that SignalGate would happen. Harris never made such a warning on the campaign trail, and maybe she should have. TSV for his part would never specifically predicted SignalGate, but he figured some kind of "scandal" or something was bound to happen. Again he's seeing not so much Lex Luthor as much as Dick Dastardly.

By now most of you have certainly heard of "SignalGate." However, Tropical Soulvangelical has his cynicisms specifically where it comes to both Chuck Schumer and the Social Security Scare. Now where Social Security is concerned, TSV refers to reports of the "proposal" and the layoffs, both of which he believes are problems that you can solve by -rejecting- the proposal and -rehiring- people who got laid off. For his end, TSV's made donations and signed at least one petition. Other than that, he's not referring to the scare media outside of those reports, but he has observed that the scare coverage had been effectively tossed aside when SignalGate started happening. He's wondering if that's their way of conceding that the scare coverage is simply scare coverage that's not reflected by the actual reports that TSV's aware of. Another sign of concession he saw in that one petition that for some reason quoted Martin O'Malley, the great Ed Snowden protege from 2016. If the scare is truly supposed to be believed, that petition site he thinks should never have referred to such a controversial figure, and he's messaged the site accordingly. TSV's also observed that SignalGate got started not by the editor in chief at the Atlantic (a publication for which TSV hasn't seen a Papua New Guinea equivalent of, since it's got to be about basic information on a newsradio), but by Chuck Schumer as per the BBC's reference to a U.S. Senate Minority Leader's demand for hearings on the matter -the Monday after- Schumer had to contend with protests outside his residence during that weekend demanding that he step down after his government funding decision. It looked just as Stalking Horse for TSV as -trump- does for Schumer in general. TSV contacted his Senators to say that whatever that funding situation was about, it certainly reflected Schumer's decision to defy the will of primary voters in JulyOf24 and pressure Biden out of that race. You might have guessed that part of the reason why TSV keeps bringing up 7/24 is because that's the immoral society taking his President away from him, whereas that same immoral society currently has -trump- and in 2028 will inevitably have Bernie, regardless of how TSV is going to vote then. But it's not merely about TSV being embittered because it took a defiance against Democracy at large on Schumer's part (and on the part of the Israel Haters in placing a Not Committed line on the ballots, and possibly also Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson) to deny TSV his rightful President. Of course he's pretty sure that no-one even remembers who Biden even is/was, let alone was once their President, for while the shock and horror and embarrassment and satire of SignalGate is still going on.

Tim Walz makes 7, or perhaps 8, though Tropical Soulvangelical stopped counting at about 5 or so. But before TSV talks Tim Walz, TSV proposes that the next Truly Stalwart Donkey (as opposed to -trumplite- Donkey) in the Mold of Biden promise to issue an executive order overturning Ford's pardon of Nixon. No doubt it'll never pass the courts, but if -trump- isn't letting the courts challenge him on the issue of birthright citizenship, TSV figures that a TSDMB shouldn't let the courts challenge that person on the overturning of Ford's pardon of Nixon, and here's what TSV believes that will accomplish for the good of the country. The pardon of Nixon did the opposite of Ford's claim of "healing the country," and just sowed more cynicism to the point where Reagan won twice in a row, the second by a landslide in which TSV was one year too young to vote in (more on that either here or else-when), and that's because the cynics effectively boycotted both elections. The overturning of the Ford Pardon would resolve the unfinished business of that cynicism still existing, and being passed down through countless generations till now. The overturning of the Ford Pardon, TSV further explains, would also enable prosecutorial historians to make their case in history court, or at least make the case of there -being- a history court of some sort, even if that history court is the people themselves being able to directly make additions to the public record with respect to their popular judgments on figures in the country's history. This demonstrates that we as a people think more and higher above just the Franklinian cynicism of self-interest, and empowers the people to take charge of their own long term history. So in such a history court the prosecutorial historians would have access to the Nixon Secret Tapes to uncover further evidence of crimes against the country on Nixon's part. TSV believes that extended members of Nixon's descendants and his estate would do a defense attorney challenge on the rendering of such a judgment, which is perfectly fair and keeps in line with the court trial model of allowing the people themselves the ultimate judgment to be directly entered into the public record, and TSV figures that's for pretty much all eternity. Such judgments may very well change back and forth through time, but he doesn't think that -just- making an online comment like this one is good enough. Nobody's -ever- going to remember that -anyone- -ever- made an online comment about -anything.- You need certification to get past what TSV views as Political Goldfishism, which is about having the memory of a political goldfish, and that's the unwillingness to try to remember what happened before the current two-year election cycle, or to try to envision a point -after- the current two-year election cycle. That's why TSV observes people like Schumer and Schiff are desperately trying to pretend that 7/24 never happened, and that's partially through always trying to change the subject, and -trump- will always serve as a convenient change of subject. TSV also proposes, maybe for me the Happy Bachelor to talk about in a future base share, direct primaries and getting rid of the delegate system, and open yearly referendums every election year. Where Tim Walz is concerned, TSV finds him more likeable and resultingly hopes he repents his participation in the election interference against Biden of 7/24, which TSV has every reason to believe will -never- happen among the Schumerdonkeys or the Berniedonkeys.

Now with Bernie, we're up to six, and that's Tropical Soulvangelical's takeaway from last Friday onwards. So he figures we got five Schumerdonkeys in the race, and now we got Bernie that he sees as picking up where Bernie left off. TSV's current hypothesis is that the Bernie Entrance is linked to the Social Security Scare. He perused a number of video headlines saying Social Security This, Social Security That, and he immediately went to both newsradio and that one list, and you people need to know this one, called 2025 in the United States, with Wikipedia. He couples that with the Social Security article, and all he has gleaned was SSA announcing layoffs and -trump- saying factually wrong stuff about centenarian beneficiaries. The scarelines he saw in his videos lists he hasn't been able to confirm in actuality, and he and Marco's Grandmother both agreed to deal in actualities and not in hypotheticals. So for all intents and purposes the scarelines he saw were hypotheticals, albeit -repeated- hypotheticals. He reminds people that that's Argument By Repetition. Saying more or less the same thing over and over again doesn't make that thing more true. It may -seem- like you must be missing some sort of hidden reporting if the list of video titles seem to fit some sort of pattern, but TSV in his faith believes this is not the case. He could be wrong, but it's already March 11, and he hasn't been proven wrong yet in this sort of thing, and he's not as concerned with there being a first time as much as if it happens what does he do then. Because then it'll be an actuality. So how does Bernie fit into all this? -Is- Bernie connected with the Social Security Scare? TSV can't prove that, but after that stunning convergence he stumbled upon two weeks ago, which is a full "news cycle" by the way, a connection between Bernie and the Scare he doesn't think can be ruled out. After all, it's the classic political formula of "You should know that everthing terrible is happening or -will- happen with Issue X!!! But -I- have the solution!!! Therefore, -Vote For Me-!!!" It's among the oldest tricks in the book that TSV has gotten wise about since the days of Impulsive 20 years ago. It's the Rascals singing, "You got the fever, I got the cure." So it's not very unreasonable to think it's more than a coincidence that the Scare is going around -at the same time- that Bernie's going around. But TSV holds fast to holding fast. Out of the six apparent contenders, he's not seen -even one- who holds to the values of faith and principle he saw in Biden, whom he also notes Bernie helped Schumer and Schiff undemocratically go after in 7/24. Bernie was a fully willing participant in 7/24, and as such TSV warns about Bernie wanting people to forget about that as much as Schumer does. TSV wants me the Happy Bachelor to keep it at this paragraph's length, because like with so many things these days, there's an infinite amount of things to unpack. TSV, like Biden, wants to go straight to the things that matter the most at any given time. Stay tuned.

It's apparent to Tropical Soulvangelical that Lisa Slotkin stumbled right into the trap that -trump- laid for her. Her "response" to the union address TSV saw as nothing short of a missive of surrender coming directly from Schumer's Home Office, and again is part of the War On Biden without anyone necessarily (except for -trump-) mentioning Biden's name. It's the same (almost deliberately) failed strategy of turning your weak side to your opponent with the unwarranted expectation of mercy, and being defeated again. Lisa Slotkin had effectively ceded union address victory to -trump-, and it fell to pretty much everyone else to have to pick up the slack, like in late night comics for example. The one person TSV saw as -truly- responding to -trump- was strangely enough the "polite Canadian" Justin Trudeau who took a more Bidenistic position of strength and determination that not only Schumer lacks, but is downright irrationally terrified of. TSV's pretty sure that Schumer had decided to indefinitely postpone any meetings he had originally planned with the Prime Minister. TSV doesn't think that his more -trumpist- colleagues at the Bland Barns Catering Counter understand that it's ultimately not about politics, but about pursuing faith and principle, and obstensibly disavowing cynicism and personal corruption. It was Ash Wednesday this week (pretty late in the year apparently), and many followers personally see it as a time of atonement for having largely been overly concerned about earthly matters. The specific politics of whether it's U.S. or Europe providing either $300 billion or $299 billion for Ukraine's security TSV sees through as an ultimately mundane aside to what direction in which we must proceed if we truly believe.

So here's how Tropical Soulvangelical was able to figure out the situation with JP Pritzker that he got me the Happy Bachelor to talk about the other day. We were just talking about the generalities of things, but TSV reread that base share and said, hey, we forgot the specifics! So here you go. He kept track of general events both on newsradio and on Wikipedia's very special list of 2025 events in the US, along with the BBC. He's not suggesting that these sources are necessarily bullet-proof, but in terms of general headlines he feels they served him well. That's also not to mention his embittered experience with the head-bleep activism of the 2000s against Bush, and what he's seeing thus far has almost totally mirrored what he saw then, so now he's got experience of generally what to expect in the activism, and hence, not get caught like he did twenty years ago. So here's what he perceived. He got a doomsday fundraising type text claiming that Rachel Maddow delivered a "stark warning" and that he had to click on a link to find out what that warning was. He -did not- click on the warning because he knows that's classic clickbait. But when he was watching some relaxing entertainment vids, he saw the SEO video list contain titles about how JP Pritzker delivers a "stark warning." Totally exact wording, and he was stunned at that. He kind of went down the list and saw how Pritzker's "stark warning" was delivered both on CNN and on Insurgent, so now we know better who JP Pritzker is as the current Governor of Illinois who a week before his "stark warnings" on the two networks also delivered the same "stark warning" a week beforehand in some kind of joint session of state Congress in Illinois, the same state where TSV's working on getting primary challengers against Chuy Garcia for Garcia's participation on Schumer's War On Biden 7/24 last year. Maybe that was a coincidence, but we also now know who the Attorney General for Connecticut was back in January for pretending to be the only state AG to challenge -trump's- attacks on birthright citizenship when in fact it was 22 state AGs as well as DC that made a joint lawsuit. TSV forgot the CT AG's name offhand, but now that we have the Internet, you're just supposed to look it up, and when you do, you'll have a name that comes to mind when both Pritzker and CT AG declare their runs for President two years from now. Now how exactly did TSV trace Pritzker to Schumer's Home Office? Well, glad you asked! That's because when TSV was scrolling through the SEO list, the phrase "stark warning" also appeared next to a video title for another figure that -trump- wants to "elevate" to a cabinet position. What TSV read was something to the effect of, "Stark warning made on figure -trump- wants to elevate: This person believes -trump- is entitled to..." and then there are points of ellipsis. The good ole YouTube points of ellipsis that force you to have to clickbait on that video to see the supposedly hideous thing that follows those points of ellipsis. The video thumbnail shows the figure with his mouth wide open in a supposed shouting match, and then when TSV scrolled down even more, he was stunned again to see that the -same exact wide open mouth shot- was copied, pixel by pixel, to a video thumbnail on -Schiff's own YouTube page- accordingly. And if you've been keeping in touch here, you'll know Schiff as the lieutenant to Schumer, the two architects of the undemocratic overthrow of Biden in 7/24. So when you reread our last base share, everything falls into place. The next night, TSV got another doomsday text reading to the effect of, Obama issues serious alert, click here for more. The phrase "serious alert" is almost synonymous with the phrase "stark warning." All you need to do is swap out the adjective and the noun that follows it, and unobservant recipients will never remember that they're seeing the same phrase just differently worded. Where TSV's info sources come in, they never mentioned about JP Pritzker, so Pritzker's appearance on TV is not considered as newsworthy as it is attention getting for unsuspecting online surfers. That's where we're at right now, so in the meantime, watch out for those clickbaits!
