I don’t think Judge Chuckin will delay the trial one day longer than is necessary once she gets the go ahead to proceed. There is nothing preventing her from doing so as the only organization within the federal government who has any rules regarding this is the DOJ. The courts can do whatever the fuck they want, whenever they want. Elections be damned. I believe there is a better chance Donald is on trial during the election than not. He fucked himself with all his delays. Oops. 😬
Thank you, Greg. What countermeasures are taken to stop (and punish) Putin's illegal attacks on Democracy? Perhaps Biden should make it a campaign point?
DFG is the king of torts. How many times has he sued or been sued in his lifetime? He was taught well by Roy Cohen. I will hold out hope that SCOTUS can see the writing on the wall, give drumpf immunity and kiss your bench seat goodbye. GOTV!
I’m not being facetious here: “CIA, give me the mission to take care of this haute moron—And I will become the greatest American Patriot in Brooklyn! Seriously!!”
A needle in the eye to start my day. Could it get worse, there certainly are enough writers to spread word of the doom cycle we are in to ensure it does.
I guess columns such as this are an essential tool in the resistance. Yet MAGA-Ostriches will never read any of them, when their eyes surface it is not to read, such is well beyond them, only to eyeball Fox, et al. Such writings are not for them, they are lost souls who will remain lost.
If numbers I have seen are correct, MAGA-disciples make up 28% of voters. Throw in some undecideds, maybe we get to 33%. If enough of the rest are sane and truly love America, come November Biden 52%, 45 48%. By all standards a huge win. Sadly not big enough to avoid court challenges, rioting and some violence. Enough to garner 283 electoral college votes, possibly.
Come January 20, 2025, Biden places his hand on the Bible while Speaker Jeffries and majority leader Schumer smile approvingly.
Attending soon our monthly Democratic district meeting where we discuss not 46's age but working to ensure four more years.
This is my dream. Like all dreams they come through due to hard work and like minded folks who refuse to let doomsayers derail our dream. Yes we need to hear about the threats and tactics of the opposition, things like courts and the like over which we have no control. But in numbers much bigger than MAGA nation, we can overcome simply by pulling the right levers in the voting booth.
"...nearly 4 in 10 Republicans, have indicated they want to see a verdict in at least the insurrection trial before voting in November..."
And 10 in 10 Republicans are full of shit. If it takes a verdict in a criminal trial for someone to determine whether they should vote for Trump or not, -- a criminal trial which most of them believe is a "witch-hunt" or "election interference," by the way -- they are too stupid and out of touch with reality to vote.
My wife had heart surgery a little over a year ago, and I was forced to think through what I’d do if I lost her. Every thinking person needs to consider the what-would-I-do scenario when faced with a potential crisis. Despite our impending mortality, I’ve settled back into a happy place, trusting that the Universe is, overall, a place in which it’s safe to enjoy life. In the case of King Donald, I’m too old to fight or even march in the streets. I’d grieve on behalf of my grandchildren, but, frankly, I’d probably be secretly happy that I wouldn’t be around very long. Now excuse me while I get back to being happy as I go on with my life!
And of course, trump would happily use the Insurrection Act to quell completely peaceful protests. Nothing like federal troops or other law enforcement folks to turn some folks violent who otherwise wouldn't have been. It's already happened--Portland, 2020. Spray painting federal buildings is not high on anyone's list of violent crimes, though it may be illegal.
I thought that by definition, a dictator had total power over elections, thereby guaranteeing that he would stay in power. That “day one” crap is just his way of telling us what he would do, ad infinitum.
I just ran across this on Meidas Touch Network. If true, I hope this will give the Ukrainian army enough breathing room until we can get them some serious money.
I've though that for so long. That sums it up. So the most pressing terrors are the polls that show Trump leading -- and the rest of us who don't know what to do about it or are too busy or disbelieving to do whatever, if anything, could be done to change opinion. Almost too horrific to believe. But not.
JFC😳 It’s TUESDAY
