    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    Quote of the Week Soon to be down to a two-vote margin, MAGA Mike Johnson's grip is slipping, and the House Republicans hate each more than ever. See the sourced article. “'I'd rather sit down with Hannibal Lecter and eat my own liver,' said one House Republican when asked if they are...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    I'm with them. Go scorched earth. Burn the GOP down. Let MAGA rise from the ashes. I said some time ago we're watching the demise of the Republican Party. Go MAGA! Let's put the GOP out of its misery and Make America Great Again!!!

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    MAGA House Republicans seem to be doing everything in their power to convert their majority into next year's minority. MAGA may well be better off with more MAGA members in leadership roles, at least in the eyes of their fellow MAGA activists. I guess it matters little whether they win elections...

    The Trump Card...

    Judge McAfee ended the third sentence of his latest ruling with a period. In fact, he ended every other sentence in that ruling with a period too. His propensity to end sentences clearly illustrates the additional pattern of letting Willis off the hook. Only someone with TDS would not see...

    A Hint? This idea is floating around online now that Judge McAfee dismissed six of the 41 counts of the GA RICO indictment. "... if McAfee had been planning to remove Willis from the case, he wouldn't have taken the time to write such a detailed order because her disqualification would have...

A better prosecutor would write better indictments. "It's a screw-up by prosecutors when you bring a charge...

    The Trump Card...

    Actually, Carroll's claims against Trump are highly credible. They were closely scrutinized in a court of law and the court ruled in her favor. People may disagree, and they may continue to claim that Carroll's claims are not credible, and now claim that the court itself is not credible, but the...

    The Trump Card...

    There was a punitive component in the jury's decision. The question they probably discussed is how much money is punitive for a billionaire who is a repeat offender? How much money should we take from him to punish him for what he did and keep him from doing it again? Now, with Trump out there...

    The Trump Card...

    Trump may try to appeal to the US Supreme Court but that does not mean they will hear it. The Supreme Court typically selects cases that involve significant legal issues, constitutional questions, or conflicts between lower courts. None of that exists in the Carroll case. Trump will certainly...

    The Trump Card...

    In other words, Trump lost his case and the lies he told were rejected by the jury. The appeals court will do the same. In the meantime, the Democrats gain a delightful talking point about Trump being deeply indebted to someone or some group for this bond. Voters should be able to know who a...

    The Trump Card...

    As I read more about this, I find you are correct ... in criminal trials, the right to a speedy trial belongs to the defendant. But that does not give the defendant the right to delay a criminal trial, or thwart the interests of justice, with bad-faith tactics and intent. The right to a speedy...

    The Trump Card...

    Including the right to a speedy trial. The NY courts are wise to Trump's games. His rightful requests will be respected. His illegitimate delay tactics will be thwarted. He's not going up against Carroll in open court any more. He's making an appeal where his options are limited and the judges...

    NOW the Bond is Posted and Approved The now-approved bond will be filed with the clerk within five days of the judge's order. That will give us a look into the terms. Enforcement of the judgement is stayed until the appeal is resolved, or until further order of Judge Kaplan...

    Yes, but it is not done in good faith in the interests of justice; and it is not what innocent people do. Tell that to the many MAGA devotees who listen to Bannon and trust him.

    The Trump Card...

    The actual phrase is "that didn't work out as hoped." I would have enjoyed seeing the so-called Trump empire degrade or fully collapse under the weakness of the financial house of cards I believe it is. And we may still see it in the upcoming and much larger bond challenge Trump faces. And yes...
