Accused Jan. 6 rioter used metal-edged Trump sign as battering ram: Feds excerpt: "A Maryland man has been arrested for allegedly using a metal-edged Donald Trump sign as a battering ram against police guarding the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riots, cracking an officer’s helmet and briefly knocking him unconscious. Thomas Joseph Kelly Jr., 36, faces charges of civil disorder, assaulting officers using a deadly or dangerous weapon, trespassing, disorderly conduct, and engaging in physical violence in a restricted building, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a news release."
Trump has been quiet about his rioters who attacked the police, other than calling them victims (his rioters, not the police).

I don't weigh in this thread much but Donald Trump bores me now. 2016 I drank all the Trump cool-aid for sure but now the dude is so boring because he is just a republican who sides with everything on the red team and is against all the blue team stuff. Its just cookie cutter boring nothing special about the dude anymore. I haven't had cable TV in a year and a half now and its a good thing cause I watched all that MSM stuff and it wasted space in my head.
Shrinks and cult experts needed to explain Nikki Haley. Nicolle Wallace Can’t Believe Nikki Haley Just Endorsed Trump: ‘We Need Shrinks and Cult Experts to Explain This’ excerpt: "HILLYARD: On, January 6th, she called it “an ugly day.” She then went and said – a couple months later that she wouldn’t run against him for president. She ended up running for president. And then we saw Nikki Haley – while her husband was deployed to Africa with U.S. armed services – mocked by Donald Trump for being away. And it was the words of Nikki Haley that were very explicit about Donald Trump. [She] said in part that, “They were disgusting, awful and unhinged,” and said that “somebody that makes comments like that doesn’t deserve to be commander-in-chief.” Her own husband got on social media and fired back and said, “The difference between humans and animals – animals would never allow the dumbest ones to lead the pack.”"
The article was published April 1, 2024. In late April, Barr said he would be voting for Trump. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/26/politics/barr-vote-for-trump-2024/index.html excerpt: "Former Attorney General Bill Barr, who previously said that Donald Trump shouldn’t be near the Oval Office, told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Friday that he would vote for the former president over President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. “I think that Biden is unfit for office,” Barr said on “The Source” in a wide-ranging interview. “I think Trump would do less damage than Biden, and I think all this stuff about a threat to democracy – I think the real threat to democracy is the progressive movement and the Biden administration.”"
Democrat ruled 'out of order' after listing off Trump's legal woes on the House floor excerpt: "While Carl said he would not weigh in on that, McGovern started going through Trump’s legal situation. "He's also charged with conspiring to overturn the election,” he said of Trump. “He’s also charged with stealing classified information, and a jury has already found him liable for rape and in a civil court. And yet, in this Republican-controlled House, it’s okay to talk about the trial, but you have to call it a 'sham.'” At that point, Indiana Republican Rep. Erin Houchin interjected, asking that McGovern’s “words be taken down.” Representatives can make that request if they feel one of their colleagues has used disorderly language."
Haley can do what U.S. Sen. Tim Scott did in 2024 and go up on stage with Trump and say with a big smile, "I just love you!" 'I just love you': Tim Scott and Donald Trump's other challengers fall in line YouTube video: 1:54 in video:
Trump is saying that Biden tried to assassinate him. He used the claim in a fund-raising email. Trump is lying again. Trump Falsely Claims Biden Administration Was ‘Locked & Loaded’ to Kill Him excerpt: "The document, on Page 11 of an evidentiary exhibit, described the F.B.I.’s plans for its court-authorized search in August 2022, and included a standard statement from the Justice Department’s policy on the use of deadly force. The F.B.I. is an agency of the Justice Department. That statement says deadly force is allowed “only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.” It specifies that such force is not permissible to prevent a person from fleeing, to disable a moving vehicle or to stop someone who poses a threat only to themselves or to property."
Trump has made similar remarks in the past, such as contending that Obama was wire-tapping him at Trump Tower. Trump said he would produce some evidence 'in about two weeks' but never did.
A Day of Negative Headlines for Trump Points to a Cure for Voter ‘Amnesia’ excerpt: "So far, that has not happened. Even as Mr. Trump spends weeks sitting in court as a criminal defendant, he leads in many polls of swing states. Surveys show that views of his administration have improved with distance, with voters remembering those years as a time of economic prosperity and strong national security. While Americans still remember Mr. Trump as a divisive and polarizing figure, a larger share of voters now see his term as better for the country than President Biden’s."
Democracy is a side-issue for many in the U.S. Americans long for the $2 per gallon gasoline that occurred when the economy stalled under Trump while the pandemic ensued, in part due to his utter slapstick response, a pandemic that cost two million American lives when including excess deaths. But all is forgotten and forgiven.
