NY couple charged in connection to Capitol riot. M.T.A. Worker and Wife Participated in Jan. 6 Capitol Riot, U.S. Says
The stock market went over 40,000 for the first time in history this week. Trump said it would crash after Biden started his term. It's been climbing steadily through Biden's term. Now Trump says the success is because he says he's leading Biden in the polls.
Justice Alito of the U.S. Supreme Court blames his wife for the inverted U.S. flag at his house, the symbol used by the Proud Boys. 'Showing support for insurrectionists': CNN panel trashes Sam Alito for upside-down flag excerpt: "Why are multiple Supreme Court justices' wives showing direct sympathy and support for insurrectionists?" she asked. "Ask yourself for a moment how crazy this is that the people who are going to be in charge of deciding things about Donald Trump and the next election... at the barest of minimums it shows the worst judgement."

Borowitz could have went further with this one and said that Republicans are impeaching Biden for his high crime of not giving them a valid reason to impeach him. Borowitz humor. Republicans Demand Biden Tell Them Why They Are Impeaching Him
Various surveys are showing that about half the voting public seems ok with this and want Trump back in office.
Trump lies to gathering in MN that he won the state in the 2020 election. Donald Trump falsely tells supporters he won Minnesota in 2020
Boebert says Trump looks pretty while he's sleeping in criminal court. She suggested that he might be praying with his eyes closed. Lauren Boebert gushes over Trump looking "pretty" while reportedly sleeping excerpt: "I think he's praying. As you say, I think he's praying, but if he is sleeping he certainly looks pretty while he sleeps," Boebert said. "Maybe it's an endearing moment of prayer though."
Even better: Giuliani finishing up his loud singing of the Frank Sinatra tune 'New York, New York', with his mouth wide open on the last syllable of the song, and agents popping out of a giant birthday cake and shoving the indictment papers into his mouth.
Most disturbing that people would vote for a man that tells a porn actress that “she reminds him of his daughter, Ivanka”…… Does anyone else think that this is pretty damn sickening???
Trump has said that he thought his daughter looked hot. Instead of going after her fully, he did it to a porn star who he said looked like his daughter. It's another reason why his daughter Ivanka and his wife Melania haven't shown up in court for Trump's NY hush money trial.
Trump's been talking about Hannibal Lecter repeatedly. He's a fictional serial killer who is known for getting away with his crimes by eating victims and people who tried to convict him. Trump seems to like that idea.
Trump would really like a character like Hannibal Lecter who makes love with his daughter, murders her, eats her, and then eats people who tried to bring him to justice.
Trump was praising Hannibal Lecter at his rally last week about how Lecter says to someone that he's busy because he has to go to dinner with someone. Have someone for dinner, literally.
Southern Baptist Mike Johnson, who supposedly takes the moral high ground, goes out of his way to chime in with Trump during his trial that involves Trump paying hush money to a porn star who Trump says reminds him of his daughter. Johnson’s Trump trip unsettles some Republicans: ‘Tell me this isn’t so’ excerpt: "These Republicans, who requested to speak anonymously to discuss the sensitive topic, are accusing Johnson — a devout Southern Baptist who built a career around the fight for Christian values and moral conservatism — of undermining the party’s family values image simply to ingratiate himself with Trump, the party’s presumptive presidential nominee. “It’s clear that Johnson thinks that this is to his political advantage to be at the courthouse at the most salacious bits of detailed, pornographic testimony. I think he’s got to answer for that,” one House Republican told The Hill. “It seems like an odd place for him to be given what he has said.”"
Giuliani's cocky remarks, daring the authorities to try to locate him. Rudy Giuliani served Arizona indictment papers for election fraud scheme at 80th birthday party excerpt: “If Arizona authorities can’t find me by tomorrow, they: 1. Must dismiss the indictment; 2. They must concede they can’t count votes,” he wrote. The post also featured a photo of a grinning Giuliani surrounded by a group of people at what appeared to be his birthday celebrations. Gold and black balloons can be seen floating in the background.
When officials finally found Giuliani at his birthday party, his buddies were upset about what happened. One politician said it was a nasty way to treat Giuliani after what happened on 9/11. It's been over 22 years since 9/11 happened. Giuliani is a different person, more along the lines of an insurgent who wants to take democracy away from Americans by deception. People in the general public believe him and Trump and it leads to violence.
Fox is avoiding the Trump criminal trial in NY, with the exception of airing his rants outside the courthouse at the end of the day that it tries to portray as newsworthy, intricate details of the trial. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/05/18/fox-news-trump-trial-00158707 excerpt: "According to database calculations provided by Roger Macdonald of the Internet Archive TV News, from April 15 through May 17, the Trump trial has been mentioned about half as often on Fox than either of its primary rivals, CNN and MSNBC. (What’s measured: Number of 15-second blocks of airtime times in which both the words “Trump” and “trial” are spoken.) Meanwhile, at the same time Fox has devoted less attention to the trial itself, it has extended near-blanket coverage to the alternative proceedings taking place in the same location — Trump’s open soliloquies to the press from the courthouse lobby where he lashes enemies inside and out of the courtroom. Fox conducted 33 live broadcasts of Trump statements to the press compared with 19 live statements aired on CNN and just three on MSNBC."
Trump said during the 2020 campaign that if he lost MN he would never return. He lost MN in 2020. He returned to MN this week. He's using the excuse that he thinks he won MN in 2020 but that it was stolen from him.
