Note that Gaetz has almost zero Republican support in ousting McCarthy. He exploited a dysfunctional rule (one person can move to vacate the chair) and joined with Democrats to do that. Florida Democrats will not be available to help Gaetz win the governor's office, and Gaetz has made a lot of...

If that's true, the Republican(s) who nominated him have learned nothing, and they're thinking less.

A lot of Republican House members agree.

Posted by a Republican on Twitter Today Since Trump, the GOP has gone from: 34 to 26 governorships 68 to 57 state legislative chambers 241 to 222 House seats 52 to 49 Senate seats 1 President to no President All we do is lose. Add to that 1 House Speaker to no Speaker (until the next one...

If You Were a Political Strategist ... If you were a political strategist hired to help the Democrats win the US House in 2024, is there anything you can suggest that would be more effective than what the Republicans are doing now? You gotta admit, they're doing an amazing job of seizing the...

Or it could be exactly as the form choice suggests. I won't quibble about this. We both agree it was not a mistake that Trump ended up with a bench trial.

Turned out differently. Gaetz is still a loudmouth and he brought McCarthy down.

On the form, pictured in my post above, what it the check box about if not a choice between a jury trial and a bench trial? I agree with you, Trump did not end up with a bench trial by mistake. But as far as i can tell from the form that was actually filed, they did have a choice.

I just saw a report from a reporter who was in the courtroom after the closed meeting and as the gag order was issued. He said Trump posted the offending post just before the Court broke for lunch. The closed meeting happened during lunch and led to a delay of the Court opening again to the...

Trump Dropped From Forbes 400 List of Wealthiest Americans "Trump is still a billionaire, with Forbes estimating his net worth at $2.6 billion. But that's down from the magazine's estimate a year earlier that the real estate tycoon was valued at $3.2 billion, which earned him a place on the...

Fantasy Scenario (or Not) Rational Republicans, maybe some from the 18 districts which Joe Biden won in 2020, decide they have had enough of the clown show the crazy-caucus Republicans have delivered. They tell the crazies "F You!" And they join in a power sharing arrangement in which Democrat...

I asked this question earlier today. Tonight, after certain House Republicans worked with Democrats to oust their Republican speaker, after it became evident no successor Speaker is immediately in view, and after the Republicans recessed (shut down) the House for a full week so they could go...

Judge Engoron Gags Trump Responding to a Truth Social post Trump made about Judge Engoron's law clerk today, the judge said, “'Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them under any circumstances.' "Justice Engoron said that his...

Can the House Republicans Govern? It took House Republicans 15 ballots to elect Speaker McCarthy and they could not keep him office very long. They recently tried to pass a budget bill but the best they could come up with was a 45 day continuing resolution. Now they have a vacant speaker's seat...

History Made Today: US House Ousts its Speaker The US House passed a resolution to vacate the Speaker's chair today on a 216-210 vote. Eight Republicans voted with Democrats to remove Kevin McCarthy from the speakership. The Republicans were: Andy Biggs, Ken Buck, Tim Burchett, Eli Crane, Matt...

It's of no help regarding the Court, his punishment for fraud, and his likely imprisonment from the other trials.

Even Trump is frustrated with the House Republicans. But he's not defending his buddy McCarthy as the House is about to vote him out of his Speaker seat. Will the next speaker be as responsive to Trump as McCarthy was? That Trump loyalty did not seem to do McCarthy much good, did it? Will...

Does it help? Has it stopped him from being investigated? Has it stopped him from being indicted? Has it stopped the jury from finding in favor of plaintiff Carrol who sued him? Has it stopped Judge Engoron from finding Trump liable for fraud? Is it stopping people from testifying against him today?

Size Matters to Trump I was in no hurry to embrace this idea because it's about something internal to Trump's thoughts and feelings, so it's not easily verified. The idea is Trump cares deeply about being perceived as a highly successful owner of a big business empire. Commentators have been...

No. So far, when Trump has appealed the judge's rulings, the appeals court upheld the rulings.
