Mercy sakes, u guys might try golf and burn off some of this political stuff,,,well we all have to have hobby..IdK...
I don't disagree. I spend too much time on politics, ... because it's fun. I'd be better off working more, or maybe even taking a nice, mid-day walk. I do have a hobby (powerlifting), but that does not creep into and distract my mind like politics does. For me, politics is a guilty pleasure.

Trump, Jail, and the Secret Service

From ABC News: "The U.S. Secret Service held meetings and started planning for what to do if former President Donald Trump were to be held in contempt in his criminal hush money trial and Judge Juan Merchan opted to send him to short-term confinement, officials familiar with the situation told ABC News."

I just enjoy the nonsense from The Trumpsteers.

Where Have the MAGA Protesters Gone?

"On Monday, Trump got on social media and beckoned his followers to protest: 'GO OUT AND PEACEFULLY PROTEST. RALLY BEHIND MAGA.'”
(Source)

Trump has called for protests. There are no protests beyond the tiny handful that show up here and there. Yesterday, one lone MAGA protester was seen in that park. Where have the MAGA protesters gone? Why are they not turning out ... at the park across the street where designates space is available for the protesters, or anywhere else in the USA?

Will Haley Voters Go With Trump in November?

In yesterday's Pennsylvania Republican primary - a closed primary in which only Republicans can vote -- Trump won by a landslide, but Nikki Haley got 16.5% of the vote. That's remarkable because Haley dropped out of the race some time ago.

The pundits have various things to say about what this means. The big question and yet-unknown answer is, will these Haley voters vote Republican in November, or will they turn against Trump and withhold their vote or vote for someone else?

In 2020, the Pennsylvania race was won by Biden by just over 1%. When races are very close like this, every vote counts. If even one-quarter of Haley Republicans go for Biden this November, Trump may well lose Pennsylvania.

Trump is an Unindicted Co-conspirator in Michigan

Howard Shock, Special Agent Investigator with the Michigan Department of Attorney General, testified in court today that former President Donald Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator in the case.

With Trump being investigated in this Michigan fake elector case, might he become an indicted co-conspirator?

Arizona grand jury indicts Meadows, Giuliani, other Trump allies for 2020 election interference​


"The indictment, which includes felony counts of conspiracy, fraud and forgery, also describes Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator."

Wow! In one day, Trump is named as an unindicted co-conspirator in two states.

Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Boris Epshteyn and the rest of the co-conspirators are going to be busy defending themselves in multiple states. Arizona is the fifth state to bring felony charges against the people who participated in Trump's illegal fake-elector scheme, which was designed to keep him illegally in office following an election he did not win.

These anti-constitution rogues are in deep, deep trouble; and because the states are bringing these charges, they cannot be pardoned by any president.

Link to the Indictment

The CNN story offers more details than the Politico story cited above.

Trump is Living in La La Land

"'We have a Rigged Judge, who is working for the Democrat Party and refuses to terminate this ‘case,’ which should have never been brought by Soft on Crime Alvin Bragg,' Trump said in a Truth Social post published early Wednesday morning. 'Judge Merchan should immediately removed, and the Appellate Courts have to take over.'” (Source)

Judge Merchan is not going to be removed simply because Trump thinks it should happen. And there is no mechanism in the Constitution or law that allows the appellate courts to simply step in and take over as Trump suggests. I guess his post shows how desperate and fearful he is. He's not talking about proving his innocence in court. He's not talking about being found not guilty. He's looking for a way out, but there is none to be found. So he retreats to La La Land seeking false comfort there.

I Would Not Like This

I would not want to be in Trump's shoes (or seat) in the courtroom. A number of reporters are in a nearby overflow room, watching the trial via closed circuit TV. One of the cameras views the defense table from the front. Every second, reporters are watching Trump, waiting to report on his every twitch, itch, facial expression, and snooze.
Most couldn’t deal with it because they’re not use to it.
Trump and the Press close by, it has literally been almost his entire life. It’s in his wheelhouse:
