Donald Trump can never run for office again, but he's still fundraising, this time with photos of America's unburied war dead.

A Trump-linked PAC named Never Surrender Inc. sent donors a fundraising email this week built around a photograph of a dignified transfer, the military ceremony where the fallen come home for the last time. The pitch offers a "National Security Briefing Membership" to anyone willing to "CLAIM YOUR SPOT."

Thirteen Americans have died in a war Congress never authorized. Multiple U.S. embassies have come under attack, and this week the State Department told Americans to get out of Iraq immediately, by land.

Soldiers who've carried the caskets of fallen American service members say the weight tells them everything. The caskets are all the same. What's different is what's inside, and their arms know it the moment they lift. That weight is what came home. "CLAIM YOUR SPOT" is what the president's operation thinks it's worth. He's inflicting his second term on this country, and in November, it's time to start putting checks and balances back in place. If you're not registered to vote, do it today at vote.org.

===IMGUR MESSAGE===

Don't know what happened yesterday, but it's been part of a trend that has seen views over the last 3 months drop yet again 50%. I've never had a day as sparsely viewed as yesterday. In fact, yesterday was 27% below Christmas Day!

What can I say. The platform is clearly making a choice. I hope you'll sign up for GovBrief's email in case I'm permanently locked out or suppressed. There are chat modes there as well as email and other links. I answer all my email and read every chat message.

Think of it as a failsafe as the slide to becoming Thunder Dungeon continues. Not that there's anything wrong with TD. It's just not the community that Imgur was.

One day we will get the headline we're waiting for https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1cjZpNjIzN2VscmJieHY0d3FuM241YmFrNjA5YXRveXFtOHU3Z29jMyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/OY9XK7PbFqkNO/200w.webp

#7 So he's doing recorded cameos now? Jesus.

#7 sooo a adversary just has to pay a fairly minimal amount of money and gets top intel? neat.

PlacentaEaters

#3 I really hope they all laugh before telling him no

I believe that is exactly what Australia did.

US in a nutshell:

"Why our allies always leechs from us, you never help us?" We joined your pointless war and lost soldiers "lol how about ww2, losers" sighs "Now come help us!!" Okay, we will help you. "Now we gonna AACO from this war, lol". Sigh... "Why our allies always leech from us, you never help" ....

That quote, my goodness. Every accusation, you say?

I saw the post from yesterday, so I just want to let you know I haven't gone anywhere and appreciate all the hard work you're putting in to keep us informed.

You're very welcome. Glad that you are here.

I read your email reports every morning. Thank you so much for continuing to this every single day, I've shared this resource with everyone I know.

I really appreciate knowing that because it's exactly why I do it every night. And tonight I even wrote about news and attention deserts. Thanks for spreading the word.

Correction: He can never run for PRESIDENT again. He CAN run to be a Governor, Senator or member of Congress.

Yes, fair point.

BipedalHumanoidWithSlightlyDifferentNoseRidge

#6 "threatens". Fuck 'em. Threaten all you like buddy, put in the paperwork or Fuck off!

Its a pity most of these bureaucratic asslickers won't get any comeuppance.

Ac1dBurn72

Because, even they know it won't hold up in court.

Yes, that is the gist of my comment 👍

Carr should be shot from a canon.

ImmatellallyallboutFightClub

The slide is real. Imgur has definitely shifted in values and makeup. Still gonna post cat pics and hope.

Thanks as always OP

Absolutely. When I go I'll be whimpering but comforted by memories of ancient Secret Santa events. I really miss Imgur Secret Santa!

Secret Santa was a really cool tradition. A gift exchange between actual strangers to show that there's a person behind the username. Very personal and unique

mmotky

Your lists is amazing, iread them every day. I would love to know how you curate it daily.

I'm so glad they work for you. That's gratifying to learn. It's probably too much for this comment space, but it's never been less that 25 hours a week, some weeks are over 40. It's 60-90 mins with about 25 news sites, taking notes, another hour or two writing, setting up the website, sending out the email, running off a light version for social media and delivering that to 6 channels. The website is the sole source of truth. Everything is there. Email gets a lot of it, and social media some.

George—

Some of us follow your Substack, but love the color coded photo summaries, as that's how some of us get news like this to our borderline MAGA brainwashed family members who wouldn't look this stuff up otherwise.

It's a really useful tool, could you possibly include them in either those posts on Substack, or adding them to the GovBrief newsletter? Sometimes you need those flashy colorful color-coded items to garner their interest. Especially if you're being silenced by Imgur.

Thanks!

It's one of my pet peeves about Substack (which, tbh, is free). The formatting is exceptionally limited. I would literally have to make each heading an image and paste them in. Not happening. But I highly recommend the website, which has color coding in card formats. Someone compared it to a Monopoly game. Here's a link to today's post:

Onmonmomnom!

I have eaten ice cream directly from a cartoon so I'll say nothing about this specimen.

Point of Clairification: Trump is absolutely allowed to run for President again. The text of the amendment states that he cannot be ELECTED a third time.

I say let him run for a third term.

Worst-case scenario is that he runs as an independent and splits the Republican vote, ensuring a Democrat victory. Best case is that he runs as a Republican, ensuring that the Democratic candidate essentially runs unopposed.

REOJackwagon

Why would you even suggest that? They already ignore the laws, if he was allowed to run, the same things that are supposed to prevent the illegal things he does...you think they will suddenly be functional again?

I can't say this with enough emphasis,

FUCK NO

NooPogodi

I share these with my conservative acquaintances every day. They don't like it.

Nalianna

I'm astonished that they can read.

Only the top 47%

That was a true laugh aloud. Thanks!.

I work in construction in Canada. One guy has a "Trump for Prime Minister" sticker on his F-150.i may get fired but worth it

defensivebackhair

I follow your substack and I like the condensed color coded version here too. The horrors persist. The algorithm is going to be against anyone fighting back against the propaganda machine. Stay strong

Substack made their free product work because it's ancient HTML commands that can be read on any device or operating system. They literally do not have font or background colors. I use images for social media. Honestly, the best format is on the website because there are embedded links, images, etc.

I don’t know what happened yesterday but I got no notification, but I did today for this one.

That's great to hear!.

Yep, I was about to comment that as well

Kotarisu

On my end, double-checked my follow settings and it had somehow changed off of "when user posts" over to the "most viral". Somewhat sus, as I had it set to any post, originally.

Hotarukin

Mine hadn't changed and I still didn't get a notification D:

But I did today. So, hopefully a bug.

BlackBearChopSticks

Same.

TheDominomic

Yeah, same here! Was a little worried, but glad to see you're okay! I'm going to sign up for the email now.

Good call. The email always comes first and there are never loading issues

Wow, a reply from THE ImmatellyallboutFightClub! What a great start to the day.
