Yet Again, Abortion Rights Prove to be the Defining Issue of 2024 "An Alabama Democrat who campaigned aggressively on abortion access won a special election in the state Legislature on Tuesday, sending a message that abortion remains a winning issue for Democrats, even in the deep South." (Source)

Considering this was a documents case, proven with documentary evidence featuring Trump's own signatures, the whole case will likely be upheld.

Characterize them as you wish. In court, before a jury, they are known as witnesses. And the jury will gauge their credibility.

Trump's CRIMINAL Trial Date is Set for April 15 Regarding the so-called "hush money" trial: Trump's motion for prosecutorial misconduct is denied. The trial is on and it begins soon. Criminal defendant Trump is required to attend. No word yet about Melania being present to show loving support...

Trump Catches a Break From Appeals Court Appeals court rules Trump must pay $175 million bond within 10 days. This is a substantial reduction in the $465 million bond which was due today. The judgement size remains the same. The bond, if secured, will forestall judgement enforcement efforts by...

Who Owns Trump Tower? Hint: It's Not Donald Trump As the financial details of Donald Trump come into public view, a number of surprises come too. For example, I was surprised to learn that Trump Tower is not owned by Donald Trump. Trump Tower is owned by a commercial mortgage company named...

What Will MAGA Say if Trump Files Bankruptcy? As tomorrow's deadline approaches for Trump to post cash or bond to forestall collection efforts on his half-billion-dollar civil fraud judgement, three scenarios are possible: 1. Trump was lying when he told the court he did not have the money. He...

OK. Whatever you say. No point running in circles about this. Republican support is required to expel Menendez, as is Democratic support. Neither is forthcoming. Hard to play the hypocrisy card when both sides are both failing to do the needed thing. And this off topic from this Trump thread...

No. It's not the excuse. It's the way it is. It would not be complicated at all if Republicans would join with Democrats to expel Menendez. With the senate closely divided, and with a 2/3 vote required for expulsion, it is impossible to expel Menendez without help from the Republicans, and so...

The situation is complicated by the facts that: A.) A 2/3 majority vote is required to expel a US senator. B.) Menendez has refused to resign despite calls by a number of his Democratic colleagues to do so. C.) A number of Republican senators have not called for Menendez's resignation. They are...

Some MAGA people and/or Trump supporters will say they don't have a problem making Trump follow the law. They have a problem with the law being unfairly applied. Frankly, I do too. If no one is above the law, it should be equally enforced for everyone. That does not give Trump a free pass. No...

Both Cannot be True In this Truth Social post, Trump claims to have nearly $500 million in cash on hand. The problem with that is, in court, his lawyers stated under oath the opposite. They said Trump does not have the cash and he cannot post cash or bond. Both statements cannot be true. If...

I happened to be watching when Luntz issued his serious warning. He was deadly serious when he did, and he did it with great feeling. He looked directly into the camera and spoke directly to AG James, telling her she would be making a huge political mistake if she makes a big show of seizing...

Awaiting Monday As I said above, Trump may surprise the TV talking heads who have been talking about the seizure of his assets this week. I think it is at least possible that Trump is lying about his inability to post cash or bond. It may be possible that he has found the cash he needs to post...

There was a time when the signs pointed to exactly that; Truth Social would fail. In fact, back then, Trump was not posting to Truth Social. That was one of the signs. Since then, Trump started posting and Truth Social got past the technical issues that threatened to doom it. They did that by...

It's only a passing reference, but finally, people other than you and me are looking at the plane.

One of the dupes was Marjorie Taylor Greene. "Greene, a Republican and Trump supporter with a history of conspiracy theories, bought shares of Digital World Acquisition Corp. on Friday when they were skyrocketing to breathtaking levels. Days later, the Trump SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition...

At the market close, the stock was down 13.81% on the day.

Wow! Republican House Majority Vote Soon Down to One A couple more like this and the Democrats will be the majority party by default. First Buck. Now Gallagher. Republicans sick of Republicans; sick enough to walk away. "When Gallagher leaves, the majority would further shrink to 217-213...
