    'What planet are we on?'


    Trump defied 'any sense of reality' in Vegas rally speech: MSNBC analyst

    excerpt:

    "To call them hostages is ridiculous. J6, all of the sudden now it's a thing because he's branded it, J6 and that the police said, 'come on in, come on in.'"

    "It's just as if the videotape never existed as if we never saw the footage," he continued. "It's just amazing how he can defy any sense of reality, and his followers believe it."

    "You know, it's been a few years, and we've got to just continue to refresh people's memories," Deutsch elaborated. "When you see it, you just wonder, how can anybody vote for this side, who relishes these people, who calls these people champions, who calls these people heroes, victims, hostages. You're staring at this and going, 'What planet am I on?""

    Comer is becoming increasingly desperate to find anything to try to prosecute Biden after the GOP effort to impeach him fizzled.


    Comer, after criminal referrals, pledges to go after Biden: ‘This is just the beginning’

    excerpt:

    "The interview comes after GOP leaders of the impeachment investigation into Biden asked the Justice Department this past Wednesday to bring criminal charges against the president’s son, Hunter, and his brother, James, accusing the duo of lying to lawmakers during conversations with investigators.

    The criminal referrals escalate the stakes of the impeachment inquiry, which has grown quiet in recent months as the investigation has failed to produce evidence of any criminal wrongdoing against Biden and as support for the inquiry appears to have died down."

    It's difficult to discern if Trump is joking or serious.

    Perhaps the 105F Nevada heat acted like truth serum on him.


    'Mask off': Internet furious after Trump proudly tells rallygoers 'I don't care about you'

    excerpt:

    "By the way, isn't that breeze nice?" Trump asked his rallygoers. "Do you feel the breeze? I don't want anybody going on me. We need every voter."

    The ex-president then added, "I don't care about you. I just want your vote. I don't care."

    Do you ever wonder if fate is working against us?
    A convicted felon who cannot go to many countries around the world, who cannot legally be on some states' ballot as a result of his conviction... a man accused of and found liable for sexual assault in a public department store, a man who has lied on record more than any other person... a man who has bullied and made fun of disabled people, veterans, war heroes, and POWs... a man who was responsible for an attack on Congress and allowed his people to attempt to overturn the 2020 election...a man who has nominated and was responsible for a stacked high court - who overturned Roe v Wade.
    What are the chances of this? Can it be stopped? Can he be stopped? Can Republicans and the Supreme Court be trusted to uphold their sworn duties to the Constitution?

    Judge Cannon has ruled to not dismiss any of the charges against Trump.

    She ruled that an incident cited by the prosecution has to be removed from the indictment, one that involves Trump showing a military map to a person. It potentially can be used later in the case.


    Judge Strikes One Element From Trump Indictment in Documents Case

    excerpt:

    "The decision by the judge, Aileen M. Cannon, was more of a swipe at prosecutors working for the special counsel, Jack Smith, who brought the case against Mr. Trump, than a major blow to the allegations in the case. Even though Judge Cannon technically removed the incident from the charges, prosecutors may still be able to introduce evidence of it to the jury if and when the case finally goes to trial."

    Some of the people Trump had at his criminal trial in NY.


    Now What Is Aileen Cannon Doing?

    excerpt:

    "During his criminal trial, Trump was joined in court by several people with criminal records, including adviser Boris Epshteyn, who has been charged with fraud for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and former Hells Angel leader Chuck Zito, who served time in prison on drug conspiracy charges. So there are a number of people in Trump’s orbit who might fit that “criminal record” criteria."

    NC man pleads guilty to assaulting police during Capitol riot.


    Jan. 6 rioter from NC in ‘Blue Lives Matter’ shirt attacked officers, pleads guilty

    excerpt:

    "A couple traded their small North Carolina town for Capitol Hill’s chaos on Jan. 6, 2021. On Monday, one of them pleaded guilty for the trip’s itinerary.

    After traveling to Washington, D.C., in matching “Blue Lives Matter” sweatshirts, the pair broke through walls of Metropolitan Police Department officers outside the Capitol, according to court documents filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

    “Them knuckles right there, from one of those motherf---er’s faces at the Capitol,” Curtis Davis says in a video he took of his injured hand while in Washington with Tanya Bishop.

    Davis charged into the Capitol rotunda at 3 p.m. that day, joining a crowd of rioting Donald Trump supporters who were enraged by his false claims of a stolen election. There, Davis “forcibly attacked” an officer and lunged for his baton.

    By 3:09 p.m., he’d punched an officer’s face shield and another officer’s head, according to court records. He also used a police shield — one he pried from an officer’s hand — to help push rioters into the wall of law-enforcement authorities lining the Capitol.

    After being expelled from the rotunda, he circled back to throw more punches, according to found footage and body camera video."

    Trump isn't even sure what his wife thinks.

    Melania might not even be sure what she thinks.

    Trump's remark about Melania's view of the hush money saga is as ambiguous as one of Melania's ambiguous remarks, when she actually has the courage to make one publicly.

    If she really is supportive of Trump in the hush money saga, she can say it publicly, especially after his trial ended.


    Donald Trump Has Cryptic Answer To How Melania Trump Is ‘Holding Up’

    excerpt:

    “I think good, but I don’t think it’s an easy thing for her,” Trump replied in the interview released Thursday. “And I think if it wasn’t good, she wouldn’t want to tell me about it, to be honest with you. Because, you know, she sees that I’m fighting like hell.”

    If a reporter asked Trump if ambiguous Melania told him to make that ambiguous remark, Trump would probably respond, "I'd rather not say. Maybe she did. Maybe she didn't."

    If the reporter then asked him when he would become more specific, Trump would probably say, "In about two weeks."

    If the reporter asked the question to Melania, she'd probably say, "Stay tuned!" like she did when a reporter asked when she would start being with Trump on the 2024 campaign trail.

    This is what some people suspected all along, particularly after it became known that the Alitos flew an American flag upside-down at their home after Trump failed to steal to election from Biden with the Capitol riot.

    Alito's wife goes full MAGA.


    Samuel Alito’s Wife Goes Full MAGA in Secret Recording

    excerpt:

    "Martha-Ann Alito, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, complained about the Pride flag, ranted about “feminazis,” and explained a flag design that she has been creating in her head in anticipation of when her husband is “free of this nonsense,” according to undercover audio released by a journalist and documentary filmmaker Monday on X.

    “I want a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag, because I have to look across the lagoon at the Pride flag for the next month,” Alito griped at one point.

    Alito’s comments were recorded undercover June 3 at the Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual dinner by Lauren Windsor, who was playing the role of a conservative activist.

    Just hours earlier on Monday, Windsor posted another secretly recorded conversation she had had at the dinner with Alito’s husband. That audio was obtained and published by Rolling Stone. In his comments, the embattled jurist described “fundamental” differences between the left and right-wing that “can’t be compromised,” and expressed a desire to “return our country to a place of godliness.”"

    In September 2023, Trump mocked Pelosi's husband who was injured severely by an attacker with a hammer.


    Trump Mocks Hammer Attack on Pelosi’s Husband in Insane Speech

    excerpt:

    “How’s her husband doing?” Trump said, jeeringly, adding, “She’s against having a wall at our border even though she has a wall around her house—which obviously didn’t do a very good job.”

    Trump, who has been indicted four times since leaving office, also cast blame for his precarious legal position on the Biden administration during the bizarre speech, arguing that there has been a conspiracy to sink him.

    “If you become president and you don’t like somebody, or if somebody’s beating you by 10, 15 or 20 points like we’re doing with crooked Joe Biden, let’s indict the motherfucker. Let’s indict him,” he said. The crowd erupted in cheers.

    Bannon (who is likely heading to prison by July 1, 2024) says Trump will target McCabe and Comey if he becomes president again.

    When he was president, Trump had McCabe fired in March 2018 on the weekend of his birthday and a couple days before he was to start receiving his pension, ruining his pension

    McCabe fought the issue in court over a few years and had his pension restored in October 2021.

    It was another example of Trump attacking people at the last minute in an underhanded way, like his canceling of the military flight that was to take a bipartisan Congressional delegation to Afghanistan to visit U.S. troops (which turned out to be another insult of many to the military that lowered the view of Trump by veterans and cost him votes in the 2020 election that he legitimately lost).

    In 2021, McCabe stated a concern about what Bannon is sayng today: that he will remain a target of Trump indefinitely.

    He now needs to be concerned that Trump could become president again.


    https://www.politico.com/news/2021/10/14/mccabe-fbi-official-trump-516060

    excerpt:

    "And McCabe doesn’t think he’s seen the end of it.

    “I don’t feel free. I don’t kid myself to think that the president is going to put aside his horrific judgment, his constant lying and his tormenting of me and my family,” he said. “I’m sure this will just add another log to the fire. He’ll probably be saying all kinds of things about it tomorrow. But you know what? I’m just to the point where I don’t care. I don’t care what that guy has to say.”"

    Cannon left intact an incident stated in the indictment that describes Trump showing U.S. military classified battle plan to an unauthorized person.


    Judge Strikes One Element From Trump Indictment in Documents Case

    excerpt:

    "Even though Judge Cannon struck the incident about the map from the indictment, she left untouched a similar allegation that is said to have occurred a few months earlier at Mr. Trump’s Bedminster property. In that episode, prosecutors say the former president showed a classified battle plan to a group of people who had come to interview him for a memoir being written by his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows."
