For Nat'l Police Week, Speaker Johnson is hosting a candlelight vigil tonight to honor fallen police officers.
But first he's in New York to support Trump, who has promised to pardon the violent criminals who brutally assaulted about 140 Capitol Police on Jan 6.
Poor Eric, he's always the last to know. Like many who've grown up in severely dysfunctional families, he thinks his upbringing was normal. It's the other guy's family that lived with and/or created monsters. Might be a connection there with why his daddy is obsessed right now with Hannibal Lecter.
Trump is also soliciting oil industry bribes when he proposes to cancel all federal wind projects "on day one." (That will be a busy day.)
He doesn't know about or understand wind energy. He doesn't "hate it" as he proclaims. He just knows it's a cultural hot button for the right and for an oil industry that has enough money to pay for his campaign - and almost enough to pay his lawyers. He's such an obvious sham.
Yeah, it makes sense that Donald Trump would turn his son, Barron's, day into Trump Day and a political fundraiser. Great way for Dad to say you're special and I love you.
What makes even less sense for a parent, is that Trump orchestrated making Barron a Florida delegate to the RNC. Barron can't say no, he can't not vote for his dad. As a recent high school grad, he would be a babe in dangerous political woods. Donald Trump is all the fairy tale villains rolled into one.
Trump must have picked that photo of him and Barron, which makes Barron seem half a head shorter than Donny. In reality, Barron's half a head taller than daddy-o, even when he wears lifts.
The sleaziness of Donald Trump is obvious to anyone who bothers to look. He recognizes no limits to his personal conduct, as he recognizes no law that might restrict it.
Among the creepier aspects is that Trump thought saying a would be sex partner reminded him of his daughter would be seductive.
The story of Stormy may not be legally required. But it's essential to better understand Trump's behavior. The jury needs to understand why he would break the law to hide it.
The point is not the clickbait one about a brain worm. It's whether and how much brain damage he suffered as a consequence. Fairly important to know about a guy who wants his fingers on the nuclear codes.
Donald Trump has violated the gag order placed on him during his NY trial ten times so far. If he keeps violating it, what should Judge Juan Merchan do?
What should Justice Merchan do when Trump violates his gag order for the 11th time, which he will?
Home confinement, no leaving his NYC penthouse for 24 hours every Wednesday court is not in session. Defer further incarceration decisions until after trial is concluded.
Win or lose, Merchan retains jurisdiction over Trump for criminal contempt. He can impose extended home confinement or something more punitive, depending on how bad Trump's behavior was. Sounds light; it isn't.
