Trump's felony conviction in NY has dented him in some polls. Various polls still show Trump beating Biden in most of the critical swing states.


Biden Vs. Trump 2024 Election Polls: Trump Leads With RFK Jr. On Ballot

excerpt:

"In the the seven crucial swing states that will likely decide the election—Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania—all of which Biden won narrowly in 2020 with the exception of North Carolina, polls consistently show Trump leads Biden. A May Cook Political Report survey found Trump up by three points on average in the seven states, a May Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll found Trump leads Biden by four points overall across the battleground states and an April New York Times/Siena/Philadelphia Inquirer poll found Trump would beat Biden in five of six swing states (Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia and Nevada), with the exception of Wisconsin."

RNC accidentally used an image of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam as background for the 2024 RNC convention in Milwaukee. The image was up as far back as February 2024.

The city was formerly known as Saigon which the U.S. lost control of in 1975 when North Vietnamese forces overtook it. The rapid collapse of Saigon was one of the most embarrassing moments for the U.S. in its history.


GOP's Convention Website Shows Ho Chi Minh City, Not Host City Milwaukee

excerpt:

"Heartland Signal noted the image of Ho Chi Minh City appeared to be an iStock photo from 2019. An archived version of the GOP convention website shows the Ho Chi Minh City photo was there as far back as February.

Both Brodey and the Journal Sentinel reached out to the Republican National Committee, which is co-chaired by Lara Trump, Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, about the mistaken image, but no one immediately responded. HuffPost reached out to the RNC’s account on X, formerly Twitter."

excerpt:

"Since then, however, Trump and his advisers have prepared an attack on the limits on presidential spending authority. On his campaign website, Trump has said he will push Congress to repeal parts of the 1974 law that restricts the president’s authority to spend federal dollars without congressional approval. Trump has also said he will unilaterally challenge that law by cutting off funding for certain programs, promising on his first day in office to order every agency to identify “large chunks” of their budgets that would be halted by presidential edict."

The coffee company Giuliani is dealing with is also in bankruptcy, like Giuliani.


Rudy’s Coffee Roastery Also Just Went Bankrupt

excerpt:

"Meanwhile, The Daily Beast found that two days before Giuliani posted his surreal jamocha spiel, Burke Brands entered a new filing in its own bankruptcy case. The coffee maker first filed for Chapter 11 in December 2022, almost one year to the day before Giuliani, claiming between one and $10 million in assets and the same range in outstanding liabilities."

At his criminal trial, Trump waved to supporters outside the courthouse who weren't there.

excerpt:

"It's not just the failed fashion model-turned-Mrs. Trump #3 who hasn't shown up in support. None of Trump's five children, or their spouses, have stood by his side in court, either. His two adult sons would rather spend time screening hypothetical future political appointments for "loyalty" than bother to show their father any in-person care at court. His eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, is posting photos of her fancy vacations rather than staying in New York with her father.

Trump is so lonesome that he's dreaming up imaginary friends to comfort himself, claiming "thousands" of people are clamoring to be with him but are being stopped by invisible police officers. As Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out on MSNBC, even "Jeffrey Dahmer’s parents were there every single day" for his trial."

 

Trump is still saying the J6 committee destroyed all of its evidence.


Trump's conviction intensifies his calls for retribution in a second term

excerpt:

"The unAmerican Weaponization of our Law Enforcement has reached levels of Illegality never thought possible before," Trump wrote in a post on his social media network. "INDICT THE UNSELECT J6 COMMITTEE FOR ILLEGALLY DELETING AND DESTROYING ALL OF THEIR 'FINDINGS!'"

 

Three accused rioters from IL expected to plead guilty.


Three accused Jan. 6 Capitol rioters from Illinois expected to plead guilty

excerpt:

"The three Illinois defendants are among dozens charged across the state and more than 1,400 people accused across the country.

Court records show at least 800 defendants have pleaded guilty or will be in the coming weeks, and the number of Jan. 6 defendants who have been imprisoned is approaching 500."

 

Clarence Thomas finally admits he should have disclosed gifts.

Thomas is still playing an in-between game about how he handled gifts given to him.

Clarence Thomas Is Hiding Even More Money Than We Knew

excerpt:

"A new report from Fix the Court, a judicial watchdog and advocacy group, found that justices on the U.S. Supreme Court received close to a total of $3 million in gifts, at least, over the last 20 years—with more than $2.4 million of those gifts being directed solely to Justice Clarence Thomas.

Thomas has repeatedly been the focus of ethical scrutiny over reports that he received exorbitant gifts and vacations from Republican billionaires, never paid back a loan for his beloved R.V., and cavorted with the Koch brothers, while failing to adequately disclose many of the perks he’s received. All of this has been reported on extensively by publications such as ProPublica. Now, Fix the Court has worked to add it all up.

Fix the Court was able to identify 103 gifts that Thomas received between 2004 and 2024, totaling a value of $2,402,310. Overall, it found 193 when counting some gifts that were received before that period. These gifts could be a number of things: often meals or lodging, with a free flight counting as one gift and a round-trip journey counting as two."

 

Jobs report for May exceeds expectations.

Trump's people are trying to downplay it by saying it is bad for natural born Americans.

New Yahoo News/YouGov poll: After Trump felony conviction, Biden leads for 1st time in months — but not by much

excerpt:

"42% of Americans now rate Trump favorably, and 53% rate him unfavorably — slightly better than his 41%-55% rating last month, before the conviction.

40% of Americans now consider Trump “fit to serve another term as president,” and 47% do not — essentially identical to his 41%-46% split in May.

And 44% of Americans now say the criminal charges against Trump are a “big problem” when it comes to his fitness to be president — unchanged from his number in April, the last time the question was asked."

Polls show presidential race in FL tightening.

Trump still leads Biden by 4% in FL.


https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article289090944.html

excerpt:

"And despite Trump’s conviction last week on 34 felony counts in New York, most Florida voters — 64% — say they don’t expect the former president’s guilty verdict to matter much in the election, if at all."

 

Probably because he has never had to shop for anything in his miserable life.

 

Trump insults Milwaukee twice, the city where the RNC will have its 2024 convention (the one that it confuses with Saigon, Vietnam by having a background image of Saigon on the convention web page).
