I did not say he was a "MAGA extremist." I said he is an anti-abortion extremist. As I said, there are districts in which his anti-abortion views are welcome. I do not know because I don't know everyone. Personally, I do not recall anyone using that label, but I have not been looking for that...

A Trial Trump is Trying to Quash A lawsuit regarding Trump's ballot eligibility on 14th Amendment grounds was filed in Colorado a few weeks ago. Trump has been working hard to make this trial not happen, but without success. His motion to dismiss the case was denied by Judge Wallace. His...

Explained above. And as I said in another reply: "Regarding his views and actions on abortion rights, his views are indeed extreme; if you define extreme as his political beliefs and actions are significantly more conservative, far-right, or outside the mainstream of US public opinion. His...

Republican House Caucus Dysfunction May Reignite "Republicans hoped Mike Johnson’s ascension marked a detente from the personal vitriol of a three-week speaker fight. That ceasefire appears to be over already." This Politico article could be passed off as a partisan spin piece designed to...

Yes. Televise.

Not comforting news for the AZ actors as they watch their counterparts in other states plead out, stand trial, or await trial. The "I didn't mean it," I didn't know what I was doing," and "I was only doing what Trump's attorneys told me to do" defenses are not working. The prosecutors who are...

Four Trumps to Take the Stand "Kevin Wallace of the AG's office said they plan on calling Donald Trump Jr. to the stand on Wednesday, Eric Trump on Thursday and Ivanka Trump on Friday, and then their father on Monday, Nov. 6. Wallace said the AG's office will rest their case following Trump's...

Perhaps. And the judge will take everything Cohen said on the stand into consideration as he weighs Cohen's credibility. Trump's lawyer did a good job casting Cohen in the worst possible light and casting doubt on his credibility. But I don't think Cohen's testimony will make or break this...

Cohen and Trump were both in court that day. Of the two, which one did the judge find to be "not credible.?" Of the two, which one was fined $10,000? Of the two, which one stormed out in a huff in the midst of the proceedings?

While the Judge's finding passed with little notice, it could be a very big deal. In a surprise move, the judge forced Trump to take the stand under oath. After Trump raised his hand and swore to tell the truth, he lied. From the bench Judge Engoron said, “As the trier of fact, I find that the...

Why the Republicans Will Lose the US House in 2024 1. House Republicans just elected one of the most far-right, hardliner, anti-abortion extremists in their caucus to the House Speaker's seat. And EVERY Republican in the House voted for him. As detailed here, abortion rights is the defining...

Like FOX, Breitbart and others were adoring fans of Nancy Pelosi, always saying nice things about her? "MAGA Mike" is the nickname given him by Matt Gaetz, not the liberal media. Regarding his views and actions on abortion rights, his views are indeed extreme; if you define extreme as his...

Looking back, Matt Gaetz and his group of nihilists look brilliant. They took out McCarthy and every speaker candidate but Jordan. Jordan had too many enemies to win so he lost. The Freedom Caucus continued to take candidates out until the entire caucus was exhausted and finally surrendered. The...

Result: Judge forced Trump to go under oath and take the witness stand. After questioning Trump, the judge fined him $10,000 for violating the court order.

Eyes on This There was an interesting development in court today. I'm watching with great interest to see how the judge will respond to Trump's "blatant, dangerous disobeyal of a clear court order." (Judge's words)

I said this (quote above) on Jan 3, 2023, when I started this thread. Little did I know than how true my words would be. Few people back then would have imagined the utter collapse of the House Republican caucus.

If If they end up putting all 221 Republican House members up for election to the speaker's seat, do they start over with the same list? About 20 have tossed their hat in the ring so far and none have been elected. That's pretty amazing when you remember that the nominees are running unopposed...
