I was not aware of that news story. Thank you for providing it. I'm glad to learn DOJ made this announcement. It is the right thing to do, even as it was wrong to confirm the investigation in the first place. That said, there is a major difference between being "cleared" and not being...

Maybe. But there have been times when DOJ has unambiguously notified investigation subjects in the past that charges will not be filed. I'd like to see them do that in Gaetz's case. I'd be happy with the first part. No need to mention the second part.

With Gaetz openly calling for McCarthy's removal from the Speaker's chair, and making that motion this week, how amenable do you thing McCarthy will be to giving Gaetz anything? At some point things like these become personal, and I think we may have reached that point now.

What exactly do you mean by "cleared?" As far as I know, there was an investigation, and then nothing. I know of no official action saying Gaetz was cleared. But I also know of no official action saying the investigation found reason to charge Gaetz. In this matter, my sympathies lie with...

Levin Joins the Republican Circular Firing Squad

Marjorie Taylor Greene for House Speaker Let the Republican insanity play out to its logical conclusion. Let the chaos reign! And let the voters fix this s** t in 2024.

House Republicans Cannot Resist Dysfunctional Performances "House GOP members are preparing a motion to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., amid his renewed threat to pursue a motion to vacate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy." With the circular firing squad the House Republicans have now formed, the...

Is Matt Gaetz Overplaying His Hand? Gaetz announced Sunday his plan to make a motion to vacate the US House Speaker's chair. If the resolution passes on a majority vote, McCarthy is out as speaker and the House will need to elect a replacement. I'm hoping House Republicans use this opportunity...

Exactly as I expected. No shutdown. It's sad that expectations of Congress are so low that people count it as a victory when the government continues to run day-to-day.

Do you speak for all of MAGA; for every single MAGA voter?

Antiquated view. Antiquated info.

From Google Bard: Kennedy has received financial support from MAGA donors. For example, Timothy Mellon, a conservative billionaire who donated more than $20 million to Trump's Save America PAC in 2020, is the largest single donor to Kennedy's super PAC. Volunteering for his campaign. Some MAGA...

I'm not a constitutional expert, so I don't know if they have a constitutional leg to stand on or not. The arguments in favor of disqualifying Trump from the ballot on 14th Amendment grounds seem credible to me. Others disagree. That's why I'm glad to see these lawsuits filed and thereby...

Expect more of this. With both Cheseboro's and Powell's speedy trials to begin soon, defendants who wish to flip will have to move fast. Fani Willis is very much in the driver's seat now. She alone will determine who gets the best deals, and at what price. Her cases stand to greatly benefit as...

Conflicting Reports About Trump's Trial Attendance Plans The information that surfaced yesterday indicating that Trump plans to attend the first five days of his New York fraud trial has become clouded by a statement Trump more-recently made. "The document in the Cohen case indicates Trump...

That too is a plausible theory. And a good one. Trump can have impromptu press conferences at the lunch hour and at the end of the business day. In so doing, he could dominate the news cycle for an entire week. That would keep his Republican primary rivals off the air and out of people's minds...
