Do bear in mind that all this Supreme Court to-do about the privileges of the president would also cover the one currently serving. If DT loses but puts up a fight I'd like to see Biden make use of the privileges SCOTUS has been coming up with for their orange-faced hero. Reference the SCOTUS discussion about the president being able to have Navy Seals kill his political enemy. Biden is out after the inauguration, he has nothing to lose, and by the time they bring him to court (at least two years) old Joe's health may render him unfit to stand trial. And if DT pulls his shenanigans again, and gets foiled, then comes his trial (however many years later), and HE may be the one that's unfit;. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/02/trump-immunity-murder-navy-sotomayor-00166385

Thanks for pointing that out. Who in the US has not heard of Miranda rights: "anything you say can be used against you"? I believe what Cassidy Hutchinson said about the steering wheel incident on 1/6, but it was hearsay. I think what happened is one of the DT aids told her this, but that aid was told to say that by the guy with the comb-over.

McConnell called Trump "ill-tempered" "stupid" and a “despicable human being” . . . while continuing to kiss his azz. At least twice Mitch had the chance to get rid of him: impeachments #1 and 2. He said "the Dems will get rid of him for us" but that didn't happen because nobody on the right would support them. You don't have to be good at being a senator to succeed in a career as one, just follow the crowd. And then there is the old joke about the US senator who had been dead for 2 years before anyone noticed. Another case of a man getting on in years and slipping his gears. Kamala once said of him that he doesn't make a move (in The Senate) before figuring out where he'll be five moves later. He doesn't seem that much on the ball these days. Say, whatever became of those Russian imbroglios, remember "Moscow Mitch"?

Trump will go after his perceived enemies I was expecting a discussion of bathroom etiquette at Mar-a-Lago.

Looks like he died watching television. Just like bin Laden.

There's a section of Bangkok, somewhere around Yaowarat and Phahurat where there are wholesale bazaars for different gadgets, e.g. a whole alley of sunglass vendors, or electric lamps, or tools, etc. There is one for watches. Whoever is making these DT watches is probably making others that go out the back door and sells for less than a tourist would pay for a nights lodging. But the joke is the scam itself: it's a $$$ laundering op, pretty obvious. It's not a campaign contribution, it's a money in the pocket.

That's it, I will definitely not be voting for Doug Emhoff.

Fake news, fake noose.

He's a Jackie Chan impersonator?

I've heard something about them likening him to King Cyrus. Whatever that means.

"I hate Obamacare, I want absolutely nothing to with it! This ACA (Affordable Healthcare Act) sounds pretty good." This is the sentiment of a lot of DT supporters. It doesn't make sense to you? Ah, then you are not a MAGA fan.

He's eating the dogs!

Fox edited the enemy within clip. Caught red-handed. She wouldn't let Baier snow her when she called him on it. She's got guts. That station goes out of their way to make DT look good, and he doesn't like it, he'll double down on what he said, brushing aside the Fox editorializing. Don't they get embarrassed?

It's always a laugh whenever this guy talks about the smart things he does or calls other people stupid or liars. He is almost as bad as his eldest son. I know someone who is just about as stupid and dishonest and has the same oversized ego. it's like they are a species of their own. They should all be exiled to an island with only their own kind.

I had a co-worker on one job who was an evangelical preacher, as was his father. One thing that really stuck in his craw regarding Catholicism was "all that stuff about his mother," claimed it wasn't in his bible. This is what came to mind when I heard DT tell his guy to play "Ave Maria." I wonder how many votes that cost him.

This idea of turning the off-season into a no-go time is a good start, IMO. And of course there are exceptions for those with pull.

What's the strain and where can I get some? Sounds like she may have popped a few edibles too.

Where's that WWII generation when we need them?

He ran off to Russia to dodge metoo accusations.

Aw, c'mon, you know that grifter is going to stuff it into his pocket. Trump Campaign's GoFundMe Efforts Raise Millions for Emergency Relief But that's ok, by the time the DOJ gets to it the time will be too close to the 2028 election to act on it. Shhh, no reason to wake up the AG.

??? One rep (Chip Roy from Texas, I think) complained that the GOP hasn't done anything he can go home and campaign on.

She may end up doing commercials: Branded Cream is so good it's worth going to jail for!

Bannon gets out of prison at the end of the month. Hopefully once he passes through the gates they'll hit him with a new indictment. Bear in mind he has not been locked up for crimes related to political monkey business (yet), this stint was for violating a subpoena.

There are some strange bedfellows (literally!) in US politics. Number one on my list is Carville and his wife. Second would be Conway and Kellyanne, but the caveat there is 10+ years ago they were on the same team. And then of course there are ones we never hear of at all, but there are a few that get whispered, Like Bill Maher and Ann Coulter: from what little I've seen of either of them she is the one influencing him. I never took her seriously, the first time I saw her was about a month after 9/11 and she was saying something like "all swarthy men should be deported anyway, I mean like YUCK!" I thought it was a comic bit, like Suzie Sorority of the Silent Majority from the old SNL. Not long after the 2016 election Rachel Maddow had Kellyanne on her nightly show for the purpose lauding her for being the first woman campaign manager to get a president elected. The following night Ms. M raged about how Kellyanne lied to her on air and she will never be on her show again; I heard her say this on air, but I don't recall reading it mentioned on the news sites.
