Good. Get fucked, Joe*. You catered to these deranged psychopaths your entire presidency. You don't get to change the rules this late in the game because an election is coming up without paying the price for it.
Maybe by next election the Democrats can carve out the 10% of the people who hate America and vote Democrat and we don't have to deal with their extremist points of view every damn day for the rest of our lives.

Trump Rolled The Dice Taking His Hush Money Case To Trial And Lost. Now He Might Lose Again.
For decades, accused criminals who insist on a trial but then lose have generally received far harsher sentences than those who take a guilty plea.
By S.V. Date | Jun 13, 2024, 06:17 PM EDT

The former president, legal experts say, has put himself on the wrong side of a process that rewards those who do not force the state to expend the time and money for a jury trial — and punishes those who do. Any normal defendant who pleaded not guilty and then lost their trial, these experts note, would likely see the harsher end of the sentencing range.
“If you spare the government the expenditure of resources and accept responsibility and plead guilty early in the process, you get some credit for that,” said Rebecca Roiphe, a former state prosecutor in Manhattan and now a professor at New York University School of Law. “Trump obviously didn’t do that.”
Trump also spent the entirety of the trial, from jury selection through his verdict and beyond, personally attacking the judge, the district attorney, the witnesses against him and the legitimacy of the entire nation’s justice system — something the vast majority of criminal defendants avoid doing.
“I can assure you, if his name was not Donald John Trump, this is exactly the person and the case where a judge would give a stiff prison sentence,” said Karen Agnifilo, also a former Manhattan prosecutor who is now a defense lawyer.
Everyone accused of a crime in America has a right to a trial by jury. But jury trials are labor-intensive and time-consuming for prosecutors, public defenders, judges and court staff. Further, the volume of criminal cases in most jurisdictions means it would be physically impossible to take every case to trial without a manyfold increase in the number of taxpayer-funded lawyers, judges and courtrooms.
Over the decades, the workaround that has been almost universally adopted results in the vast majority of prosecutions being resolved with plea agreements – or “bargains” ? that allow the accused to admit to the charged crime or a lesser crime in exchange for a reduced jail term or, depending on the severity of the offense, even just probation.
But for those who insist on taking a case to trial and end up getting convicted by a jury, particularly when the facts underlying the charges are well-established, the end result is often a sentence much closer to the maximum allowed under the law.
“I can say generally that, across jurisdictions, prosecutors typically rely on the prospect of harsh alternatives to incentivize pleading,” said Lee Kovarsky, a University of Texas law professor.
At the time of his scheduled sentencing on July 11 he will be a first offender in a non-violent crime — a category that, had Trump pleaded guilty, would have almost certainly given him no time behind bars.
“That ship has sailed,” Roiphe said, adding that all of Trump’s outside-the-courtroom behavior that judge Juan Merchan prevented the jury from considering in its deliberations was now fair game in his sentencing decision, including his “conduct during the trial and around the trial and his disrespect for the process.”
Agnifilo said that Trump’s attacks on and attempts to intimidate witnesses should weigh heavily in Merchan’s decision.
“A defendant should be rewarded for taking responsibility for their actions and sparing witnesses and victims from this arduous and often painful process. Here, Trump still has never taken responsibility, shows no remorse, continues to deny it and, if he could, would attack the witnesses,” she said.
Trump’s continued attacks on the justice system — and his refusal to express even a modicum of remorse — could make it hard for Merchan to find a way to avoid giving Trump at least some period behind bars without acknowledging that Trump is getting special treatment, Roiphe said.

How Conservatives Changed the Whole Point of American Political Parties
The rise of the right remade the GOP—and fundamentally changed how parties operated in American politics
By Daniel Schlozman & Sam Rosenfeld | June 10, 2024 9:00 AM EDT
https://time.com/6985660/conservative-political-party-history/
The Republican Party of 2024 belongs to Donald Trump and to MAGA. But the populist right once viewed the GOP very differently.
At the second annual Conservative Political Action Conference in 1975, attendees debated whether they should junk and replace the GOP. One speaker advocating for the move called parties “no more than instruments, temporary and disposable, by which like-minded citizens can express their views.” The conference passed a resolution declaring that “the question of our allegiance to [the two major] political parties is a matter of increasing doubt to conservatives.”
Though a proposed third-party venture went nowhere fast, it reflected the right’s distinctive, cold-eyed approach to the party form. Parties, conservatives thought, served solely as a disposable means to an end, rather than as valuable organizations and instruments of democracy in their own right. And when the forces on the right captured and remade the GOP in their own image beginning in the 1970s, the result was a retreat from the very commitments that had made political parties central pillars of small-d democratic and small-r republican politics. In that sense, the crisis roiling American democracy in 2024 is a half-century in the making.
As conservatives transformed the GOP, they obliterated an older model of Republicanism. In the middle of the 20th century, GOP organizations at their best had functioned as civic institutions rooted in communities. Conservative in form as much as substance, they focused on problem-solving in government, and worked to contain and channel political conflict rather than exacerbating it. Such Republican Party organizations reflected the interests and stewardship of local social and economic elites. The political scientist Clinton Rossiter evoked the “Republican self-image” at midcentury as “men of standing and sobriety…sound without being callous.”
Party politics, in this approach, meant organizing social actors into tempered, pragmatic leadership, not serving up grand clashes of worldviews or all-out warfare across social divides. As such, Republican party work and governance emphasized limits in both the exercise of politics and the activity of government.
Ray Bliss, longtime Ohio Republican leader — and then in the 1960s, Republican National Committee chair—typified this approach. To build up GOP organizations, he would cross-check voter registration rolls with membership lists for service clubs like the Kiwanis and Rotarians, chambers of commerce, and country clubs. Averse to ideological infighting or even explicit comment on policy issues, Bliss summed up his own vision of Republicanism in power in 1960: “government which is efficient, yet economical; government that is alert to the changing times, yet guided by common sense; government which is compassionate to the needs of the people, yet wise in the execution of programs to meet those needs.”
Rising conservative activists disdained this approach as both milquetoast and politically ineffective. Seeing politics as fundamentally rooted in conflict, they moved to exploit grievance and status resentments—“knowing who hates who,” as the future Nixon aide Kevin Phillips had put it in 1968—to polarize politics.
Organizational changes to politics in the 1970s set the stage for that approach to overtake the older model of parties. Interest groups, think tanks, and lobbying shops encroached on the activity of both major political parties while a new campaign finance system channeled money outside of the party apparatuses. As the formal Republican Party’s clout waned, outside groups ranging from the National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC) to the National Right to Work Committee to the Moral Majority filled

However, Trump's words are not proof he committed the crime:
"If Trump states that he possesses a firearm at this juncture (after a felony conviction and possibly in violation of his bond), that would be an admission. However, separate proof and evidence of his actual possession is still required to support any enforcement action. Let's remember, Donald Trump has a long history of saying things that don't reflect the actual facts."

“The system,” they say, will not hold.

If enough people understand this — and I think enough will — Trump will lose. Just as candidates in Germany and Italy would have lost 90 or so years ago if German and Italian voters had had the benefit of hindsight.

Quote:Conservative commentators and lawmakers are calling for an end to no-fault divorce, arguing that it has destroyed the fabric of society. Oklahoma introduced a bill to ban the state’s version of no-fault divorce. The Texas Republican Party added a call to end the practice to its 2024 platform. Federal lawmakers like Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and House Speaker Mike Johnson have spoken out in favor of tightening divorce laws.

CEOs at Trump meeting: Ex-president ‘doesn't know what he's talking about’
Former President Donald Trump failed to impress everyone in a room full of top CEOs Thursday at the Business Roundtable’s quarterly meeting, multiple attendees told CNBC.
“Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” said one CEO who was in the room, according to a person who heard the executive speaking. The CEO also said Trump did not explain how he planned to accomplish any of his policy proposals.
Several CEOs “said that Trump was remarkably meandering, could not keep a straight thought and was all over the map.”
Among the topics on which Trump offered scant details were how he would reduce taxes and cut back on business regulations.
The same CEOs who were struck by Trump’s lack of focus “walked into the meeting being Trump supporter-ish or thinking that they might be leaning that direction.”
“These were people who I think might have been actually predisposed to Trump but actually walked out of the room less predisposed” to him.

In the book, Trump discusses Rivers, who won the second season of Celebrity Apprentice in 2009.
In the month before the election, Trump claimed to Fox News’s Sean Hannity that he feared voter fraud using dead voters would swing the election for his opponent. “You have 1.8 million people who are dead, who are registered to vote, and some of them absolutely vote,” said Trump. “Now, tell me how they do that.” Trump’s claims were refuted.

Who Is Favored To Win The 2024 Presidential Election?
538 uses polling, economic and demographic data to explore likely election outcomes.
Trump wins 51 times out of 100 in our simulations of the 2024 presidential election.
Biden wins 48 times out of 100.
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-forecast/
For comparison: Biden wins 71 times out of 100 back in August 2020.
https://web.archive.org/web/20200812094739/https://projects.fivethirty

There is a 1-in-100 chance of no Electoral College winner, leaving Congress to decide the winner. That would be very special. If no one gets a majority, the election goes to Congress to resolve. But the House has elected the President only twice, in 1801 and 1825, and the Senate has chosen the Vice President only once, in 1837.

Trump’s Bizarre Rants at Private GOP Meeting Are a Break-Glass Moment
As awful new reports emerge about the GOP capitulation to Donald Trump, a veteran observer of Republican politics explains why all this is cause for genuinely profound alarm.
New reports are emerging about Donald Trump’s tightening grip on the GOP, and the upshot is this: It’s crazier and more dangerous than you thought. First we learned that Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson privately schemed over how to sabotage ongoing prosecutions of Trump. Then Trump met with Republicans and reportedly unleashed numerous strange rants, calling the Justice Department “dirty no good bastards” and spinning out a wild tale about Nancy Pelosi’s daughter. We talked with A.B. Stoddard, a columnist at The Bulwark and a shrewd observer of GOP politics, and she trenchantly explained why this moment is very much not a drill.

Can Trump Eliminate The Income Tax? Maybe With An 85% Tariff
https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewleahey/2024/06/14/can-trump-elimina
te-the-income-tax/
Recently, former President Donald Trump suggested replacing the federal income tax with tariffs on imports. A closer examination quickly reveals why the policy is impractical.
In a private meeting with GOP lawmakers at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, D.C., Trump floated the idea of a so-called “all-tariff policy.” If tariffs on imports were raised sufficiently, the federal income tax could be eliminated entirely.
Everyday necessities, like clothing, food, and household goods, as well as significant purchases like electronics, vehicles, and equipment, will immediately increase in price. Even goods entirely produced domestically, and thus not directly subject to tariffs, may see price hikes — as demand outstrips supply.

Trump complained that his generals weren’t “totally loyal” like Adolf Hitler’s. At least they were honest.
Every General appointed by Trump to his staff:
"More dangerous than anyone could ever imagine"
- Marine Corps four-star general and Trump’s Secretary of Defense, General James Mattis
"The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me"
- Marine Corps four-star general and Trump's former Chief of Staff, General John F. Kelly
"Wannabe Dictator"
- U.S. Army four-star general and Trump’s Joint Chiefs chairman, General Mark A. Milley
“You f---ing generals, why can’t you be like the German generals?” Trump asked then-White House chief of staff John Kelly, according to an excerpt of “The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021,” co-written by New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser and New York Times correspondent Peter Baker.
When Kelly asked Trump for clarification, the president reportedly replied by specifying, “The German generals in World War II."
Kelly, a retired Marine general, then asked Trump whether he knew that those generals "tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off."
According to the excerpt, Trump dismissed Kelly's historically accurate description, insisting, "No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him."
Kelly, in an interview with NBC News on Tuesday, confirmed the accuracy of the account in the book excerpt. He said he would tell Trump that the American generals’ first loyalty is to the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law.
Kelly described Trump’s “unwillingness to accept that the American generals should not be loyal to him as the German generals were to the leader of Germany. And, again, I very definitely pointed out that they tried to kill him [Hitler] a number of times.”
The exchange was described in the excerpt as “typical” of Trump’s expectation of fealty from his military officers.

Trump's presidency was a huge mess (and Iowa will never understand why)

Last week, Donald Trump blurted out at a meeting with congressional Republicans that he favors switching to a McKinley-style system in which the American government relies on tariffs for all of its revenue. This reminded of a larger point that I think is often forgotten: When Trump was President of the United States, he did a really terrible job.
In a funny way, his tendency to muse about policy ideas that don’t make any sense and reflect a total lack of comprehension of the issues relates to one of his political strengths. Most people don’t pay that much attention to politics and have relatively low levels of policy knowledge. Swing voters, meanwhile, tend to be below-average in their level of interest in politics and policy. So Trump, by being not just ignorant but willfully disinterested, comes across as more in touch with the electorate than a typical politician.
But in most cases, you would not hire someone for a job if he had no idea what he was talking about.
You would probably worry that if you hired someone like that, he would do a bad job. And when Trump did get hired in a narrow, flukey election that saw most people vote for his opponent, he did, in fact, do a bad job. By the time he left office he was deeply unpopular because people saw — and this was before Dobbs — that he wasn’t good at it. Since then, Joe Biden has become unpopular, primarily I think because he didn’t pivot fast enough in the face of inflation. But I also think that a lot of people have forgotten what a bad job Trump did, thanks in part to a mix of delusions and deliberate myth-making, but mostly because of a strange tendency to hold him to an unusual and inconsistent standard for job performance.
On the economy, Trumpstalgics say that what matters is that the results were fine, even if the ideas espoused (like funding the entire government with tariffs) were often unsound. But on Covid, Trumpstalgics say that what matters is that he espoused the right ideas (in this case, being less cautious), even if he was completely inefficacious in delivering results. Biden gets no credit for rapid job growth, because that was just the natural unwinding of Covid-era unemployment, but he is personally to blame for every cent of inflation, which is somehow totally unrelated to that unwinding. And the unemployment itself wasn’t Trump’s fault, because it was the virus that caused the collapse of the labor market, but Trump — rather than the aforementioned collapse of the labor market — deserves credit for the temporary halt in the flow of asylum claims.
It genuinely makes no sense! And it’s worth taking a break from wrangling over whether January 6 was technically an insurrection or exactly what Trump meant when he suggested using disinfectant on people’s lungs, and zooming out to the part where he was overall bad at the job.
The myth of the Trump economy
I think an important part of this is that if you go back to the winter of 2019-2020, when everyone agreed the American economy was in pretty good shape, very few people were inclined to lavish praise on Donald Trump specifically for this.
Nearly everyone understood, at the time, that whether looking at jobs or GDP, nothing happened when Trump took over in 2017. It was just a continuation of the slow and steady recovery from the Great Recession that had been underway for seven years by the time of his inaugurat

Top Republicans want to slow down the trial which will prove Trump innocent. But Trump is innocent! Why delay the trial when the jury will vote "Not Guilty"?
Judge Cannon opened the door to "unheard of" GOP intervention in Trump case
GOP attorneys general back Trump after Cannon allowed everyone under the sun to chime in.
By Charles R. Davis | June 17, 2024 10:53AM (EDT)

-opened-door-to-unheard-of-intervention-in-case/
There should be no consequences for Donald Trump lying about federal law enforcement officers and falsely claiming he “nearly escaped death” because they were authorized to kill him, two dozen Republican attorneys general argue in a brief filed Sunday in the former president’s classified documents case.
In May, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, just before he was convicted on 34 felony counts in his hush-money trial, told his followers on Truth Social that he had been targeted for assassination by “Crooked Joe Biden’s” Department of Justice when FBI agents raided his Mar-a-Lago home to search for national security secrets he took from the White House. In order to do so, Trump and far-right allies like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., distorted the exact same “standard procedure” the FBI always follows, including when Trump was president, under which agents are authorized to use force if they encounter a deadly threat while carrying out a law enforcement operation.
Special counsel Jack Smith, who charged Trump with stealing state secrets, wants to bar the former president from lying about law enforcement again. In a filing last month, he asked U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, the Trump appointee overseeing the former president’s oft-delayed case, to impose a gag order that would prohibit “statements that pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case.”
Cannon has not yet definitively ruled on the matter, so far only chiding the prosecution for lacking “professional courtesy” by failing to discuss it first with Trump’s legal team. In the meantime, in the wake of MAGA incitement, one avowed Trump supporter has already been arrested in Texas for threatening to kill federal law enforcement officers — specifically, texting an FBI agent and threatening to “slaughter you like the traitorous dogs you are,” per a June 13 press release from the Department of Justice.
So what? That’s the response from the 24 Republican AGs, including Texas’ Ken Paxton. In a June 16 filing, they ask Cannon to grant them permission to intervene in Trump’s case, claiming the former president’s freedom to slander law enforcement is sacrosanct.
A gag order barring Trump from making false claims about the law enforcement agents involved, specifically, in his classified documents case “may affect the election, the First Amendment rights of tens of millions of Americans, and will prevent [former] President Trump from opining on this important national election matter,” the Republicans argue.
In that, the AGs are merely echoing the argument from Trump’s own legal team, which last week argued that Trump’s incitement is actually “campaign speech,” suggesting he’d like to talk about his scheduled June 27 debate with President Joe Biden, and that a gag order would constitute “totalitarian censorship of core political speech.” Ignoring the arrest in Texas, they also maintain that the government has failed to demonstrate that the specific agents Trump accused of trying to kill him are themselves at risk.
Although it is possible she sides with the government, legal experts who have observed her thus far say there is now an established pattern of the judge siding with the defense, perhaps best demonstrated by the fact that, a year after being randomly assigned the case, there are no indications that she will schedule a trial before November.

Donald Trump Media Stock Down Nearly 40% Since Conviction
(It is a conspiracy by Democrats to make Trump Look Like a Loser, according to the wisest Trumptards or dumbest)

trump-media-volatile-share-price-1914099
Shares in Donald Trump's media company have dropped in value by almost 40 percent since the former president's hush money conviction last month.
The price of Trump Media & Technology Group stock, which has been on something of a rollercoaster ride since it began trading earlier this year, closed Monday at $34.64 per share. This is a big drop from $51.84 on May 30, when Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment allegedly made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
Newsweek contacted TMGT for comment via email but did not receive an immediate reply.
In addition to Trump's legal woes, TMTG, which is the parent company of social media site Truth Social, is grappling with short sellers who the company has accused of "market manipulations."
On June 4, CEO Devin Nunes wrote the CEO of the Nasdaq requesting her help to investigate "Wall Street insiders" who he believed were engaged in "naked" short selling of TMGT stock, which trades under the ticker symbol DJT.

Trump will be fine.
He will also be your next President.
David Cay Johnston, who is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and long-time observer of Donald Trump, offers this counsel in an essay at DCReport about the corrupt ex-president and aspiring dictator’s felony conviction:
Quote:The American people need to listen to Johnston’s warnings. Donald Trump may now be the first former president and presumed major party presidential nominee to be a convicted felon in American history. In this surreal era, Trump may actually win the election from prison. But what should be a mark of shame is instead being viewed as a badge of honor by his MAGA cultists and other followers. There are too many other Americans who also view felon Trump as a type of force to “shake up the system” and/or entertain them while he burns it all down. And there are those Americans who just don’t care anymore. Of the three groups, I am unsure which to condemn the most. Ultimately, Donald Trump and his MAGA movement and the other neofascists will have to be beaten at the ballot box and across civil society on Election Day and beyond. The courts alone will not be able to stop the Trumpocene and the forces it has empowered and unleashed.
For now, though, the challenge is to get the truth about Trump out to enough people to motivate a majority to vote against him, especially in the states that could go either way.
By all rights, Trump should get trounced in November along with the Republicans who support his vicious anti-American plans to kill our representative democracy so he can rule as a dictator, free to murder opponents, loot the Treasury and control women.
Complacency can put Trump back in the Oval Office. Being smug and staying home out of a false belief that Trump cannot claw his way back to power now that he’s a felon on Election Day is precisely what Trump hopes.
Thwart Trump’s hopes. Do your duty. Be a citizen and save our Constitution and our freedoms.

Impressive fearmongering! How could anyone resist Trump's sales pitch? I'm convinced. You ought to be, too!
Donald Trump elaborated on a shocking threat during his visit to Racine, Wisconsin, Tuesday, warning the crowd that the country will be pushed into World War III if he isn’t re-elected in November.
“Under Crooked Joe Biden, the world is in flames, our border is overrun, inflation is raging, Europe is in total chaos, the Middle East is exploding, Iran is emboldened, China is on the march, and the worst, most incompetent, most corrupt president in history is going to drag us into World War III,” Trump said.
“We won’t even be in World War III, we’ll be losing World War III with weapons the likes of which nobody has ever seen before,” Trump said at the Nazi-attended conservative conference. “These are the stakes of this election. Our country is being destroyed. And the only thing standing between you and its obliteration is me. It’s true.” (If you think it’s true, you are crazy.)

How IVF Became the GOP’s Next Battle
It’s a widespread, common procedure—and it’s shaping up to be the next abortion fight.
Now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, the Christian right seems to be setting its sights on banning in-vitro fertilization. But even though the Southern Baptist Convention passed a resolution against IVF, it’s a very popular and widely accepted procedure, which is why Senate Republicans signed a statement in favor of access to IVF, the same day almost all voted against protecting it by law.

Trump Is Now Openly Threatening CEOs Who Don’t Support Him
Donald Trump is warning CEOs to fall in line—or else.
June 18, 2024 3:01 p.m. ET
https://newrepublic.com/post/182868/trump-threaten-ceos-support
In two long Truth Social posts on Tuesday quoting a Wall Street Journal article, Trump said “Business Executives and Shareholder Representatives should be 100% behind Donald Trump! Anybody that’s not should be FIRED for incompetence!”
Lately, Trump has attempted to line up the CEO and executive crowd behind him, but this is the first time he seems to have openly threatened them. Last week, he met with at least 80 CEOs, promising tax cuts and scaled-back business regulations if he’s elected president.
Trump also proposed a plan to cut the federal corporate tax rate to 20 percent from 21 percent, which didn’t bring a lot of excitement from the audience. One attendee described the idea as “We’re going to give you more of the same for the next four years.”
Previously, Trump also tried to win over the support of oil and gas executives, reportedly promising them changes in policies if they contributed to his campaign.
Perhaps Trump’s recent posts came about because these meetings aren’t getting him the support he was seeking, and he sought to strike back at the CEOs. Maybe he thought they didn’t like his idea of leaving worker tips untaxed. Or maybe he got tired of proposing outrageous deals in exchange for total support, and decided an implicit threat would work better.
Whatever the case, it’s not likely that powerful business leaders in America will respond kindly to Trump saying “support me or else!”

Donald Trump and his allies are already coming up with excuses for if he loses the debate with Joe Biden.
June 18, 2024 5:05 p.m. ET
https://newrepublic.com/post/182881/trump-elevates-conspiracy-debate-b
iden-drugs
During his rally in Racine, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, Trump suggested that if Biden performs well during the upcoming presidential debate, he’ll have hard drugs to thank.
“He’s gonna be so pumped up. He’s gonna be pumped up,” said Trump. “You know all that stuff that was missing about a month ago from the White House? What happened?”
As Trump was setting up his punchline, presumably about selling stolen goods to pay for drugs, he lost the plot and pivoted into rambling about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
“Who left it? Somebody left it. I wonder, let’s see. Somebody left the laptop in an office of a gentleman who was supposed to fix the laptop from hell,” said Trump. “He never picked it up, and somebody didn’t pick up hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cocaine. I wonder who that could’ve been.”
“I don’t know — actually, I think it was Joe. Ha-ha,” he said, cuing the audience that he had, against all odds, made it to the end of what he wanted to say.
Trump is once again parroting something he heard Sean Hannity say, which has quickly become a regular Republican talking point: that Biden has a secret stash that saves him during public speaking events. Trump previously suggested that Biden was “higher than a kite” during the State of the Union address, and seems adamant on keeping the company line as he heads into the first Biden-Trump debate on June 27.
In fact, just Monday night, Hannity reiterated his claim to Trump’s daughter-in-law and RNC Chair Lara Trump.
“I think the Joe Biden we see on the debate night is gonna be the guy that we saw at the State of the Union,” Hannity said. “He’s going to be all hyped up, hyper-caffeinated, whatever ‘it’ is.”

Robert Reich is too much a gentleman to say plainly that only the rich and fucking idiots would vote for Trump. Every idiot I know, none of which have significant net worth, is voting for Trump. Not one of those non-wealthy Trump voters I know is self-aware that they are not smart people, which is why they are not wealthy.
To clarify, those Trump voters think they are smart, hard-working, and financially astute. They are not, so they come up with an alternate explanation for why they are not prospering in America: that it is the Democrats' fault. This explanation is sold to them by the masterful salesman Donald Trump who made his fortune cheating dimwits like them out of their money and votes.

Iran resumed making the nuclear fuel shortly after the Trump unilaterally withdrew from the accord in 2018.
Is anyone ever going to hold Trump to account over this? Trump canceled the nuclear deal for no better reason than his juvenile desire to undo anything that Obama had put in place. The result was a resumption of Iran's uranium processing and its probable ability to build a nuclear weapon.

During the 2000 election, Democrats were focused like a laser on convincing the American public that then Texas Governor George W. Bush was a moron, just lucky that breathing is reflexive, lest he forget to do it and suffocate right there on the debate stage.
That was the context for that year’s presidential debates — some idiot versus Al Gore. But a funny thing happened. Bush didn’t drown in his own saliva, and Gore didn’t come off like anything special. Therefore, Bush won the debates because the expectations game had been so horribly managed by Democrats.
Republicans mock Biden for his senility, but it also lowers the bar for debate performance. It also raises the bar for Trump. How could he fail to absolutely destroy a senile, doddering old man in a debate?
It’s time for Republicans to be aware of this and, at a minimum, set the bar a little bit higher for Biden. As of now, he can get himself declared the winner if he can just give answers (they don’t have to make complete sense) to all the questions, no matter their quality. Victory for Biden only requires his still being awake at the end.

Trump is being prosecuted because . . . he broke a lot of laws
In the Wall Street Journal today, former judge Michael McConnell tries to explain to us Democrats why Republicans are sticking with Donald Trump despite all the court cases against him.
First he argues that the New York hush money case was bogus. Fair enough. It's an arguable point. But he also says this:
Quote:This is odd. McConnell says lots of Republicans think Trump should have been convicted for his role in the January 6 insurrection, but later on he dismisses as "lawfare" the current federal case against Trump for his part in January 6. Why?
Many Republicans who condemned his part in the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol and thought he should have been impeached and convicted for it now consider the legal crusade against Mr. Trump to be as threatening to democracy as what happened that day. Democrats need to understand why.
And it gets worse. Even McConnell has to admit that the classified documents case is sound:
Quote:This is the worst sort of deception. Trump is not being prosecuted for "mishandling" classified documents and McConnell knows it. As usual in Journal op-eds, what's important is what's left out.
But here too, the odor of selective prosecution is hard to escape. Not only did Mrs. Clinton mishandle classified documents, so did Mr. Biden. In fact, he shared them with a ghostwriter after leaving the vice presidency. Special counsel Robert Hur determined that Mr. Biden’s actions were “willful” but declined to prosecute.
....Bottom line: Both candidates for president appear to have violated the same law; the one in power is excused and his opponent faces trial.
Clinton and Biden both mishandled a small number of unimportant documents and cooperated completely with investigators. By contrast, Trump is being prosecuted because he took highly classified documents; he took lots of them; he refused to return them; he ignored subpoenas; and he aggressively tried to hide them even from an FBI search. McConnell knows this. So do the Journal's editorial page editors.
But they don't care. For the good of the cause, this all has to be forced into a narrative of "Democratic lawfare" instead of acknowledging it as the entirely predictable result of a president who happens to be a serious serial lawbreaker. I'm not sure why this has to be repeatedly explained to Republicans.

Trump is being prosecuted because . . . he broke a lot of laws
In the Wall Street Journal today, former judge Michael McConnell tries to explain to us Democrats why Republicans are sticking with Donald Trump despite all the court cases against him.
First he argues that the New York hush money case was bogus. Fair enough. It's an arguable point. But he also says this:Quote:This is odd. McConnell says lots of Republicans think Trump should have been convicted for his role in the January 6 insurrection, but later on he dismisses as "lawfare" the current federal case against Trump for his part in January 6. Why?
Many Republicans who condemned his part in the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol and thought he should have been impeached and convicted for it now consider the legal crusade against Mr. Trump to be as threatening to democracy as what happened that day. Democrats need to understand why.
And it gets worse. Even McConnell has to admit that the classified documents case is sound:Quote:This is the worst sort of deception. Trump is not being prosecuted for "mishandling" classified documents and McConnell knows it. As usual in Journal op-eds, what's important is what's left out.
But here too, the odor of selective prosecution is hard to escape. Not only did Mrs. Clinton mishandle classified documents, so did Mr. Biden. In fact, he shared them with a ghostwriter after leaving the vice presidency. Special counsel Robert Hur determined that Mr. Biden’s actions were “willful” but declined to prosecute.
....Bottom line: Both candidates for president appear to have violated the same law; the one in power is excused and his opponent faces trial.
Clinton and Biden both mishandled a small number of unimportant documents and cooperated completely with investigators. By contrast, Trump is being prosecuted because he took highly classified documents; he took lots of them; he refused to return them; he ignored subpoenas; and he aggressively tried to hide them even from an FBI search. McConnell knows this. So do the Journal's editorial page editors.
But they don't care. For the good of the cause, this all has to be forced into a narrative of "Democratic lawfare" instead of acknowledging it as the entirely predictable result of a president who happens to be a serious serial lawbreaker. I'm not sure why this has to be repeatedly explained to Republicans.

Trump “said there was world peace in 2020. There was very much not. He said he won Wisconsin in 2020; he lost. He said the Democrats rigged the 2020 election, a lie. He said people around President Biden cheat on elections, no. He said people’s votes tend to disappear; they simply do not.”
Although Trump claimed to have “saved” Kenosha in 2020 from riots following the shooting of Jacob Blake, it was actually Democratic Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers who sent the national guard to the city, before Trump ever told him to.
Trump breathlessly repeated invented numbers about immigration, the crime rates in Venezuela, and the number of people who have crossed the Southern border. He attempted to rewrite history by spinning lies about his previous term as president, imagining that he pulled American troops out of Syria and lowered the trade deficit with China. He even lied about what he did last week, telling the crowd that he was in D.C. for one of his many trials, when he was really there to meet with Republican lawmakers.

Mark Cuban's Donald Trump Comment Takes Off Online

Comparing Trump to Biden, Cuban said: "It's the snake oil salesperson vs the incumbent, traditional politician."
"One will tell you his snake oil will cure everything that ails you. The other will show you the details of his policies through charts, graphs and statements."
Praising Biden as "precise and methodical," Cuban said that Trump voters "are happy with their snake oil whether it works or not."
In an interview with USA Today in 2020, the entrepreneur didn't hold back, calling Trump an "idiot" over his approach to running the country. "Look, personally I don't have a problem with the guy," Cuban said. "Now professionally, as the president, I think he's an idiot. You know, I never thought he was smart in talking to him."

The Insurrection Act is a nuclear bomb hidden in the United States code, giving presidents unimaginable emergency power. No President has abused it. Yet.
By Joseph Nunn from Summer 2024, No. 73
https://democracyjournal.org/magazine/73/the-most-dangerous-law-in-ame
rica/
The Insurrection Act is a nuclear bomb hidden in the United States Code. Enacted in the early years of this country’s existence, it was subsequently modified several times, as Congress greatly expanded the President’s powers under the law during the bloody tumult of the Civil War and Reconstruction. It has largely been ignored ever since. But today, the law has garnered renewed attention and raised concerns in many quarters for a reason that should echo ominously this election year: It gives the President virtually limitless discretion to use the military as a domestic police force.
There is no reason to assume that good fortune and presidential self-restraint will continue to prevent abuse of the Insurrection Act. Congress has ignored the law for 150 years, all while the country and its needs have changed dramatically.
An oblique reference to Trump: In the current political climate, where threatening political opponents and questioning the integrity of elections has become normalized, continuing to turn a blind eye ultimately endangers the United States’s future as a republic ruled by law.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. DONALD J. TRUMP, Defendant.
VIOLATIONS:
Count 1: 18 U.S.C. §371 (Conspiracy to Defraud the United States)
Count 2: 18 U.S.C. § 1512(k) (Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding)
Count 3: 18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(c)(2), 2 (Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding)
Count 4: 18 U.S.C. § 241 (Conspiracy Against Rights)
INDICTMENT
The Grand Jury charges that, at all times material to this Indictment, on or about the dates and at the approximate times stated below:
INTRODUCTION
1. The Defendant, DONALD J. TRUMP, was the forty-fifth President of the United States and a candidate for re-election in 2020. The Defendant lost the 2020 presidential election.
2. Despite having lost, the Defendant was determined to remain in power. So for more than two months following election day on November 3, 2020, the Defendant spread lies that there had been outcome-determinative fraud in the election and that he had actually won. These claims were false, and the Defendant knew that they were false. But the Defendant repeated and widely disseminated them anyway—to make his knowingly false claims appear legitimate, create an intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger, and erode public faith in the administration of the election.
3. The Defendant had a right, like every American, to speak publicly about the election and even to claim, falsely, that there had been outcome-determinative fraud during the election and that he had won. He was also entitled to formally challenge the results of the election through lawful and appropriate means, such as by seeking recounts or audits of the popular vote in states or filing lawsuits challenging ballots and procedures. Indeed, in many cases, the Defendant did pursue these methods of contesting the election results. His efforts to change the outcome in any state through recounts, audits, or legal challenges were uniformly unsuccessful.
4. Shortly after election day, the Defendant also pursued unlawful means of discounting legitimate votes and subverting the election results. In so doing, the Defendant perpetrated three criminal conspiracies:
a. A conspiracy to defraud the United States by using dishonesty, fraud, and deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted, and certified by the federal government, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §371;
b. A conspiracy to corruptly obstruct and impede the January 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election arc counted and certified (“the certification proceeding”), in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(k); and
c. A conspiracy against the right to vote and to have one’s vote counted, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241.
Each of these conspiracies—which built on the widespread mistrust the Defendant was creating through pervasive and destabilizing lies about election fraud—targeted a bedrock function of the
United States federal government: the nation’s process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election (“the federal government function”).
5. The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 4 of this Indictment are realleged and fu

The Defendant’s Attempts to Enlist the Vice President to Fraudulently Alter the Election Results at the January 6 Certification Proceeding
86. As the January 6 congressional certification proceeding approached and other efforts to impair, obstruct, and defeat the federal government function failed, the Defendant sought to enlist the Vice President to use his ceremonial role at the certification to fraudulently alter the election results. The Defendant did this first by using knowingly false claims of election fraud to convince the Vice President to accept the Defendant’s fraudulent electors, reject legitimate electoral votes, or send legitimate electoral votes to state legislatures for review rather than count them. When that failed, the Defendant attempted to use a crowd of supporters that he had gathered in Washington, D.C., to pressure the Vice President to fraudulently alter the election results.
87. On December 19, 2020, after cultivating widespread anger and resentment for weeks with his knowingly false claims of election fraud, the Defendant urged his supporters to travel to Washington on the day of the certification proceeding, tweeting, “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” Throughout late December, he repeatedly urged his supporters to come to Washington for January 6.
88. On December 23, the Defendant re-tweeted a memo titled “Operation ‘PENCE’ CARD,” which falsely asserted that the Vice President could, among other things, unilaterally disqualify legitimate electors from six targeted states.

United States Of America v.
Donald J. Trump, Waltine Nauta, and Carlos De Oliveira,

Never back down: Rich and powerful exploit post-shame society
By Zachary Basu | Jun 18, 2024
https://www.axios.com/2024/06/18/trump-gop-scotus-musk-shame
America is reaching the pinnacle of a post-shame society forged by Donald Trump and reinforced by powerful patrons.
The big picture: While he may represent the most extreme example, Trump isn't the only one who has realized a lack of shame can be a crucial survival skill.
• Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose years of expensive private travel gifted by GOP megadonor Harlan Crow, even after recently amending his 2019 financial disclosure.
• Justice Samuel Alito refused to recuse himself from Jan. 6-related cases after acknowledging that his wife flew an upside-down flag — a symbol carried by pro-Trump rioters — outside of their home.
• Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) are both running for re-election despite being indicted on bribery charges.
• Serial fabulist Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) clung to his seat so long that he became just the sixth person in U.S. history to be expelled from the House.
• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) lost her committee assignments in 2021 over her endorsement of baseless conspiracy theories, but became one of MAGA's most influential voices when the GOP won the House.
• George Norcross, a titan of Democratic politics in New Jersey, defiantly sat in the front row Monday as prosecutors unveiled a sweeping indictment accusing him of running a decade-long criminal enterprise.
Zoom in: Trump has long defied the conventional laws of politics, surviving countless controversies by lashing out at his opponents, undermining the press and painting himself as a victim.
• Now, no matter what trouble he gets himself into, hardly anyone in the GOP utters a word of criticism.
Yes, but: The Trump playbook shows that for some people at the apex of American power, every scandal you survive makes the next one a bit less damaging.
The bottom line: If Watergate happened in 2024, there's every chance Nixon would have hung in there. Nixon resigned in shame before ever being charged with a crime.

Ian Simmons in Forbes: Why Extending Trump’s Tax Cuts Should Concern Long-Term Investors
. . . That Trump wants to extend his 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) should come as no surprise. . . . But the TCJA dramatically increased the national debt and was arguably a senseless giveaway to foreign investors, a topic I wrote about in March. Another one of the law’s troubling elements was a new deduction for owners of so-called pass-through businesses. The provision was 50 times more likely to help the top 1% of earners . . . than those in the bottom 50% . . .
. . . Tax cuts for billionaires are a bad deal for the vast majority of investors.

That's a stereotypical weakness causing widespread havoc in Trumptards' lives when they think about the chances of smoking causing cancer or adultery causing divorce or borrowing causing bankruptcy or lying to the FBI causing criminal indictment. Trumptards don't understand how these misfortunes keep happening to them, but they should because it keeps happening, keeps hammering them until they either understand the simple things or else those things destroy them.

Trump Appointed Judge in Trump Documents Case Rejected Suggestions to Step Aside
By Charlie Savage, Alan Feuer | June 20, 2024
Two federal judges in South Florida privately urged Aileen M. Cannon to decline the case when it was assigned to her last year, according to two people briefed on the matter. She chose to keep it.
Judge Aileen M. Cannon’s assignment to handle former President Donald J. Trump’s case raised eyebrows because she has scant trial experience and had shown unusual favor to Mr. Trump.
Shortly after Judge Aileen M. Cannon drew the assignment in June 2023 to oversee former President Donald J. Trump’s classified documents case, two more experienced colleagues on the federal bench in Florida urged her to pass it up and hand it off to another jurist, according to two people briefed on the conversations.
The judges who approached Judge Cannon — including the chief judge in the Southern District of Florida, Cecilia M. Altonaga — each asked her to consider whether it would be better if she were to decline the high-profile case, allowing it to go to another judge, the two people said.
But Judge Cannon, who was appointed by Mr. Trump, wanted to keep the case and refused the judges’ entreaties. Her assignment drew attention because she has scant trial experience and had previously shown unusual favor to Mr. Trump by intervening in a way that helped him in the criminal investigation that led to his indictment, only to be reversed in a sharply critical rebuke by a conservative appeals court panel.
The extraordinary and previously undisclosed effort by Judge Cannon’s colleagues to persuade her to step aside adds another dimension to the increasing criticism of how she has gone on to handle the case.
She has broken, according to lawyers who operate there, with a general practice of federal judges in the Southern District of Florida of delegating some pretrial motions to a magistrate judge — in this instance, Judge Bruce E. Reinhart. While he is subordinate to her, Judge Reinhart is an older and much more experienced jurist. In 2022, he was the one who signed off on an F.B.I. warrant to search Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s club and residence in Florida, for highly sensitive government files that Mr. Trump kept after leaving office.
Since then, Judge Cannon has exhibited hostility to prosecutors, handled pretrial motions slowly and indefinitely postponed the trial, declining to set a date for it to begin even though both the prosecution and the defense had told her they could be ready to start this summer.

Romney stays the course on whether he supports Trump for president: 'It's a matter of personal character'
By Greg Wehner Fox News | June 20, 2024 5:17pm EDT

trump-president-matter-personal-character
"With President Trump, it’s a matter of personal character," the Utah senator said. "I draw a line and say when someone has been actually found to have been sexually assaulted, that’s something I just won’t cross over in the person I wouldn't want to have as president of the United States."
Romney was referring to a federal jury’s decision in New York City last year, which ruled Trump was liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
Trump, the 2024 GOP presidential front-runner, has repeatedly denied the allegations. His denial resulted in Carroll slapping Trump with a defamation lawsuit, claiming his response caused harm to her reputation.
The jury found Carroll was injured as a result of statements Trump made while in the White House in June 2019.
The jury awarded Carroll $7.3 million in compensatory damages, other than the reputational repair program, and $11 million in damages for the reputational repair program.
The jury found Trump’s statements were made to harm Carroll and awarded her $65 million in punitive damages. In total, the jury said Carroll should be paid $83.3 million.

DNC’s Zoom nomination plans forge ahead amid talk of ditching Biden
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/jun/19/dncs-zoom-nomination-
plans-forge-ahead-amid-talk-o/
Quote:
Democrats are planning the virtual nod for Mr. Biden amid reports about behind-the-scenes panic among top Democrats and schemes to substitute a younger, more viable candidate who stands a better chance of defeating former President Donald Trump.
Nate Silver, who aggregates and analyzes election polls, noted that Mr. Biden’s approval rating this month declined to 37.4%, an all-time low for the president.
“Dropping out would be a big risk,” Mr. Silver posted on X. “But there’s some threshold below which continuing to run is a bigger risk. Are we there yet? I don’t know. But it’s more than fair to ask.”
Now that Democrats have cleared the way for nominating online, they could move to replace the ticket virtually — perhaps, some suggest, if Mr. Biden performs poorly at the June 27 presidential debate, where he will face off against Mr. Trump for the first time since 2020.

Is it surprising that Republican Supreme Court Justices support Trump by delaying a ruling?
Jun. 21, 2024 3:05PM EDT
The Supreme Court released a slew of new rulings on Friday morning, but, once again, none of them included the decision weighing heaviest on Americans’ minds—whether Donald Trump should be granted king-like immunity for his criminal indictments.
Friday marks 114 days since the case was accepted by the high court—an inexcusable amount of time to rule on something so consequential to the country, a top legal expert tells The Daily Beast.
Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard University, said Friday it’s clear that the Supreme Court, which has operated with a comfortable conservative majority since Trump’s presidency, is doing the ex-president’s bidding.
With each day that passes without a decision, the chances of a Trump trial before the 2024 election grow slimmer.
“They’re obviously delaying to benefit Donald Trump,” he said.
Tribe said, realistically, an appropriate time for the court to reach a decision on Trump would have been sometime in December, and Trump’s trial would’ve been completed by now.
Instead, it’s taken the Supreme Court more than twice the time to rule on Trump’s immunity—a matter an appeals court comprehensively rejected—than it took to rule on the much more complex United States vs. Richard Nixon case, which took 54 days.
Tribe says he believes the delay is simply that—a way to buy Trump more time. If he were to win the presidency before he’s convicted, he’d almost certainly use his power to wipe away any charges.
The Supreme Court’s far-right justices are effectively giving Trump the immunity he’s seeking merely by delay.

It is not surprising that the Trumps have always been in trouble with the law and have always traded sex for money:
Friedrich Trump wrote Bavarian Prince Luitpold begging the "well-loved, noble, wise and just" leader not to deport him. Luitpold rejected the "most subservient request."
Trump's grandfather was born in Kallstadt, then part of Bavaria, and immigrated to the U.S. as a teenager without performing his military service. It was after he'd made his fortune there and tried to resettle in Germany that he was ordered expelled, and returned to the U.S.
Many news outlets have suggested that Friedrich's arguments appear similar to contemporary ones raised by those who fear deportation under President Trump's immigration policies, including this passage:
Quote:The back story to this letter (and Trump's ultimate deportation from Bavaria) began when Friedrich first arrived in America as a 16-year-old barber's apprentice in 1886. He bounced around a variety of apartments and jobs in New York before moving to Washington state in 1891 and finding financial success even further north in Canada during the Gold Rush, as discussed in a New Yorker profile of him:
We were confronted all at once, as if by a lightning strike from fair skies, with the news that the High Royal State Ministry had decided that we must leave our residence in the Kingdom of Bavaria. We were paralyzed with fright; our happy family life was tarnished. My wife has been overcome by anxiety, and my lovely child has become sick.
Why should we be deported? This is very, very hard for a family. What will our fellow citizens think if honest subjects are faced with such a decree — not to mention the great material losses it would incur. I would like to become a Bavarian citizen again.
Suddenly, in 1891, Friedrich was off to Washington State before going to the Klondike regions, where he pursued a colorful career providing food, liquor, and women to miners.

Trump tells his followers that the FBI was ordered to kill him by Biden, but Trump outwitted them all! Trump’s followers believed him! In Truth, Trump only outwitted his followers.
The Motivated Ignorance of Trump Supporters
They can’t claim they didn’t know.
By Peter Wehner | June 16, 2024
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/06/when-are-trump-suppo
rters-complicit/678704/
On the morning of August 8, 2022, 30 FBI agents and two federal prosecutors conducted a court-authorized search of Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, estate. The reason for the search, according to a 38-count indictment, was that after leaving office Trump mishandled classified documents, including some involving sensitive nuclear programs, and then obstructed the government’s efforts to reclaim them.
On the day before the FBI obtained the search warrant, one of the agents on the case sent an email to his bosses, according to The New York Times. “The F.B.I. intends for the execution of the warrant to be handled in a professional, low key manner,” he wrote, “and to be mindful of the optics of the search.” It was, and they were.
Over the course of 10 hours, the Times reported, “there was little drama as [agents] hauled away a trove of boxes containing highly sensitive state secrets in three vans and a rented Ryder box truck.”
On the day of the search, Trump was out of the state. The club at Mar-a-Lago was closed. Agents alerted one of Trump’s lawyers in advance of the search. And before the search, the FBI communicated with the Secret Service “to make sure we could get into Mar-a-Lago with no issues,” according to the testimony of former Assistant FBI Director Steven D’Antuono. It wasn’t a “show of force,” he said. “I was adamant about that, and that was something we all agreed on.”
The search warrant itself included a standard statement from the Department of Justice’s policy on the use of deadly force. There was nothing exceptional about it. But that didn’t prevent Trump or his supporters from claiming that President Joe Biden and federal law-enforcement agents had been involved in a plot to assassinate the former president.
In a fundraising appeal, Trump wrote,
BIDEN’S DOJ WAS AUTHORIZED TO SHOOT ME! It’s just been revealed that Biden’s DOJ was authorized to use DEADLY FORCE for their DESPICABLE raid in Mar-a-Lago. You know they’re just itching to do the unthinkable … Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger.
On May 23, Trump publicly claimed that the Department of Justice “authorized the use of ‘deadly force’ in their Illegal, UnConstitutional, and Un-American RAID of Mar-a-Lago, and that would include against our Great Secret Service, who they thought might be ‘in the line of fire.’”
Trump supporters echoed those claims, as he knew they would. Steve Bannon, one of the architects of the MAGA movement, said, “This was an attempted assassination attempt on Donald John Trump or people associated with him. They wanted a gunfight.” Right-wing radio hosts stoked one another’s fury, claiming that there’s nothing Trump critics won’t do to stop him, up to and including attempting to assassinate him and putting the lives of his Secret Service detail in danger.
The statement by Trump went beyond inflaming his supporters; it created a mindset that moved them closer to violence, the very same mindset that led thousands of them to attack the Capitol on January 6 and threaten to hang Vice President Mike Pence. Which is why Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion asking the judge overseeing Trump’s classified-documents case to block him from making public statements that could put law enforcement in danger. “Those deceptive and inflammatory assertions irresponsibly put a target on the backs of the FBI agents involved in this case, as Trump well knows,” he wrote.
Motivated ignorance refers to willfully blinding oneself to facts. It’s choosing not to know. In many cases, for many people, knowing the truth is simply too costly, too psychologically painful,

You're conflating Nate Silver's assessment of the situation with the Keys, which are two distinct things. Joe Biden* is underwater on 2 keys, regardless of what Nate Silver has to say. Joe Biden* has also been underwater on nationwide and state to state polling in the swing states since September of last year, so the only way for Nate to be able to say it's a coin flip is by being very generous with the Margin of Error and giving it all in favor to Joe Biden*. This is especially true of the swing state polling, which is not only much more important, but also very heavily lopsided in Trump's favor.
And this does not address at all that Joe Biden* and Donald Trump are at a virtual tie in both Virginia and Minnesota at the moment, and the media doesn't talk about adding new swing states to the mix when they are very apparently states that Joe has a coin flip of losing.
No. The election in November is not a coin flip. That is simply Nate Silver trying to position himself as not to end up becoming even less relevant after Election Day than he already was by now. His star has been waning for quite some time now.
Keep on with all that wishful thinking though.
ETA: Haha... That's rich. "What I'm saying is true. Just look at this table on Wikipedia!". Wikipedia is about as "real" as Santa Claus when it comes to anything remotely political.
You should go into the edit history on that page and look at the war going down between some of the "members".
Maybe you should drop what you're doing here and go edit wikipedia articles with your free time. They don't behave much different than what you find in the RWED, but that site gets an infinite amount more traffic than we do and people with double-digit IQs seem to believe what they're told by other people with double-digit IQs.

I wonder how many moderate voters actually know what Donald Trump's agenda is if he wins the presidency again. Here's a list of Trump proposals, some official and others just musings on the campaign trail. The question is, which ones should we take seriously?
Donald Trump’s 2025 Agenda
1. Replace income tax with a 50% tax on all imports
2. Slash aid to Ukraine
3. Cut all federal funds to any school that requires vaccinations
4. Round up and deport all 20 million illegal immigrants in the US
5. Repeal Obamacare
6. Force prayer back into public schools
7. Fire thousands of civil servants and replace them with Trump appointees
8. Forbid gender affirming care for trans kids
9. Repeal all pollution limits that depend on electric vehicle adoption
10. Allow schoolteachers to carry concealed weapons
11. Evict the homeless from cities and put them in vast tent encampments
12. Allow police to shoot shoplifters
13. Send in the National Guard to patrol cities with high crime rates, like Birmingham and New Orleans
14. Eliminate efficiency standards for home appliances
15. Do nothing about child care
16. Do nothing about climate change
17. Do nothing about prescription drug costs
18. Mifepristone — still no public position

Don't you worry about me, buddy. I'm doing just fine.
You're the guy who always says if Trump wins then it will be GREAT news for your pocket book. I've never once made such a claim about any candidate for any office. I live life on Easy Mode no matter who is President. That's how it was in 2016. That's how it was in 2020. That's how it is in 2024.
All Joe Biden*'s policies that lead to record amounts of inflation have done is slightly shorten the very long window of time where I don't need to work. And when I DO decide I'll go and get a part time job for a year or two to bolster the nest egg, I'm going to be making quite a bit more than I did when I was laid off in the summer of 2019. Even in a state that recognizes the national minimum wage of $7.25/hr, I'd be REALLY hard-pressed to find anything paying less than my last job did.
My life isn't going to change no matter who wins in November. It will remain easy, and I will be doing better than almost everyone else. It's been that way for decades, and no matter who is running the country it will continue to remain that way.
So let's stop pretending that this has anything at all to do with our personal lives.
You and I have very different ideas about how the country should operate and where we're heading, and THAT is what this election is about.
Grow up.

Trump paid $750 in income tax because he cheats. He actively helps cheaters by reducing tax collection enforcement. For those who don't cheat, he lowers the tax rates.
This election is all about our personal lives. Our politics reflect who we are. Trump is a sex criminal, a tax cheater, an adulterer, a layabout, an incompetent/dishonest businessman, and a draft dodger. Texas Trumptards are the same. Trump flamboyantly displays his voters' real values and purpose in life.

You worry about all of that a lot more than I do.

We don't care about your lies and we aren't going to be bullied by the likes of you anymore.
Meanwhile, enjoy today. Back to work for you tomorrow.

Trump will be fine.
