Why I Like the Courts

How things look when people act in the heat of passion often looks different when the actions are examined in court; where the law, well-defined procedures, and rules of evidence truly matter. This case is a case in point. And it's a case where the Trump Organization is correct.


“'As we have said since the beginning, the city’s efforts to terminate our long term license agreement to operate Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point Park were nothing more than a political vendetta. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio used his position to weaponize the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and the New York City Law Department all in an effort to advance his own partisan agenda, score political points and interfere with free enterprise,' the spokesperson said in a statement."

Yes, It Really Was a Violent Insurrection and Attempted Coup

There are those who like to minimize the events of Jan 6 saying the people involved in the Capitol disruption that day were tourists or saying the rioters committed no crimes because they were waved in by police. So far, of the 800+ people who have been charged with crimes relating to the Jan 6 events, we know of just one person who used the "waved-in" defense and was was acquitted by a judge. The rest have pleaded guilty, been convicted, or remain charged with their cases pending.

Given that one person to date has been acquitted, it is certainly possible there will be more similarity acquitted. But other cases, like the one shown below clearly indicates that a number of people on the Capitol grounds on Jan 6 specifically intended and specifically acted, using violent means, to halt the legal transfer of power from one president to another.


"The Proud Boys case is one of a handful focused on the work of extremist groups that prosecutors say pre-planned their efforts to interfere with the transfer of power in service of keeping then-President Donald Trump in power."

Apparently some think a person that legally pulls a permit to have a protest or gathering in Washington D.C.( which has been done several multiple of times before) should personally held criminally responsible for the actions of provocateurs and other informed personnel that decided to crash said gathering. Interesting logic by some…

And apparently, some think real crimes were committed, including the man who committed them.

The weather had a lot to do with it. People had to get there early and stand out in the cold. People were dressed in winter clothes and it looked very windy.
The Trump Effect in Georga ... None

Polling has now been done which allows us to determine what effect, if any, Trump's rally in support of Perdue made. The weather may explain why Trump ended up speaking to a bunch of empty seats. It does not explain Trump's anemic effect on voter opinion.

With new polling now in, we can see support for Perdue is unchanged. Trump's appearance on Perdue's behalf made no difference. Perdue's support is unchanged.

I’ll have to find a different link. The one provided was pretty much useless.

A New Kind of Fake News of Truth Social

"On Tuesday, an Axios reporter tweeted that Fox News had a verified account on Truth Social. Nunes also touted the network’s arrival in a now deleted message, writing, 'Great to have RSS feed for @FoxNews now LIVE here on TRUTH! This adds to @OAN and @NewsMax.'

The news made shares of Digital Word Acquisition Corp, the SPAC that is helping the app go public, spike. But Fox News quickly corrected the record: A spokesperson told Axios, 'We are not on Truth Social.' (emphasis mine)

It seems Trump’s app has been trying to cultivate an air of legitimacy by creating pages for various media and sports brands, including @NFL, @FoxSports, and @ESPN. Though these accounts appear real, with official-looking names and logos, none were set up by the brands themselves. 'There are ‘BOT’ labels on those accounts, which may suggest the Truth Social accounts are reposting content those brands have published on other social media sites,' ... (Source)

In other news about Truth Social ... there is none. Truth Social is as dead in the water and disinteresting to the masses this week as it was last week.

Yes a lot of Democrats get kicked out of office.

Incorrect.

Elected members of Congress which have run for reelection and were defeated will serve until their term ends, which would be when the next Congress begins ... which would be on January 3, 2023 ... (unless the previous Congress designates a different day)

No what will happen is that Joe Biden will still be on the job, being your President.

He'll also be being President for all the people who are too stupid to realize that he is actually looking out for the country's and their best interests ... unlike the previous Orange Idiot.

This chart shows party control of the White House, US Senate and US House since 1855. A House session is 2 years. In the most-recent 30 years, there have been 15 House sessions. Of those 15 sessions, 10 of them show one party in control of the House and the other party in the White House.

Based on election results, it seems Americans prefer a divided government to one where a single party controls the House and White House at the same time. In the last 30 years, voters have established that arrangement 10 times out of 15, or two-thirds of the time.

A Truth Social Outage, and More Lies

Truth Social had an outage Monday, suggesting it's tech issues are not getting better, but getting worse. Two key tech gurus resigned from Truth Social a few weeks ago. No word yet about them being replaced. The outage suggests their absence is being felt.

On Monday, Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes posted, “today… we begin implementing major upgrades to the platform over the next few weeks.” (Source) He has been making such statements since Truth Social came out to explain away or smooth over the persistent and now worsening tech issues. Given the actual performance of the platform, these statements can now be appropriately deemed lies.

Nothing Nunes has said about coming-soon tech improvements has come to pass. He is lying.

So do you think those two tech “gurus” that “resigned” should have kept their jobs considering the implementation has been so flawless so far?
