nauseus Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 25 minutes ago, placeholder said: I would say it's amazing that you're a fan of Donald Trump, given that you don't ever seem to know what he's been up to. At any rate: Trump says he was not watching live TV coverage of Capitol Hill riot Former President Donald Trump on Sunday night denied that he was watching live television coverage of the deadly Capitol Hill riot. Trump was responding to a Washington Post story that claimed he was “watching it all unfold” on Jan. 6 in the White House as chaos erupted at the Capitol. “That’s incorrect reporting,” Trump told Fox News’ Steve Hilton. https://nypost.com/2021/03/01/trump-says-he-was-not-watching-live-tv-coverage-of-capital-hill-riot/ Nicely edited! Not. Further into the story Trump said he was watching ... later....that could have been anytime. The J6 mob seemed to accept testimony that he was watching TV. Too many different stories and accounts, as usual. But you need to track all of them to be in the know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if you knew anything about supreme Court's decisions on the powers of state courts, you'd know that the conservatives on the court find themselves in quite a bind. Their decisions I've tended to support federalism and find that States supreme Court's have a lot of leeway in making decisions. Still, given the obvious proRepublican prejudices which animate so many of their decisions, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the supreme Court found in favor of trump. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than 10 years!” he told a crowd of applauding service members during his remarks at Al Asad Air Base in Iraq on Wednesday. “And we got you a big one. I got you a big one.” Trump has repeatedly claimed that troops hadn’t seen a pay raise during President Barack Obama’s time in the White House. In fact, troops have seen a pay raise of at least 1 percent every year for more than 30 years. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2018/12/27/in-iraq-visit-trump-makes-false-claim-about-military-pay-again/ Trump bragged to troops about 10 percent pay raise that they have not received https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/423013-trump-bragged-about-10-percent-pay-raise-he-didnt-give-to-troops/ What a dumb liar! 😃 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozimoron Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Supreme Court gets stern warning to butt out of Trump ballot challenges As he wrote, "The U.S. Supreme Court needs to understand that the disqualification of former President Donald J. Trump under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment from running again for President of the United States is going exactly as it should." Explaining, "states have primary power over administering federal elections with Congress also possessing authority to regulate how the elections are run," he added that "the fact that who can run, who can vote and the 'time place and manner' in which voting takes place varies from state to state is normal—and, arguably, the high court need not concern itself with these issues." With that in mind, he warned the justices it would be better to not interfere and put themselves in a highly political position that would further erode the court's reputation. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-ballot-supreme-court/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
