Trump Disqualified A theme is developing. Trump is disqualified from doing business in New York because his business certificates have been revoked. Trump is disqualified from being nominated for House Speaker because he is indicted on 91 criminal felony counts. Trump may be disqualified...

US House Function v. Dysfunction In recent news about the US House of Representatives, the word "chaos" is frequently used. I don't think it is quite as bad as that. Yes, the Republican majority is having a leadership crisis at the moment. They allowed just 8 of their own to work with Democrats...

I was thinking definition 2. fit Trump like a glove: "2. the practice of deceiving people through the repetition of a constructed false narrative." Which of us is correct? That depends on what one perceives as the "false narrative." It seems to me Trump is a master of the false narrative. He...

What Did Trump Accomplish at Trial This Week? After 2.5 days at his NY fraud trial, Trump has returned home to Florida. His attendance at trial was not required. It was voluntary and Trump chose to attend. He returned to FL with something he did not have before he left; a partial gag order...

Disgorgement Attorney General James is seeking $250 million for the fraud Trump committed. But these are not damages, it is called disgorgement. There is a very important difference between the two. I'm not going to claim to understand the nuances. I'm only learning the word "disgorgement"...

Above, I said, "I don't believe for one second that a mistake was made on the paperwork ..." That was true when I said it. It is not true now. Additional info leads me to believe Trump did not have a choice of a jury trial. New York law does not allow jury trials in cases like this. Judge...
