    Instead of the words "Fight, Fight, Fight" on the shoes, a more appropriate phrase might be "Let me get my shoes!"

    It would have been really flippant if Trump at the rally in Butler, PA had been doing his story that asks whether he should get electrocuted by the battery of the sinking electric boat or be eaten by the shark 30 feet away.

    Just after asking the question, the shots could ring out, nearly killing Trump.

    Answer: Neither. You should worry about assassins a few hundred feet away

    Why did Republican Donald Trump choose JD Vance as his vice president?

    excerpt:

    “Trump didn’t reach out to the small but not insignificant faction of his party that supported Nikki Haley, who has a different approach to foreign policy and a more moderate approach to domestic policy,” Lichtman explained. “Instead, he picked a younger clone of himself.”

    Poll after assassination attempt shows Trump losing to a younger Dem in swing states

    excerpt:

    "A survey conducted by Emerson College Polling found that Trump holds a three-point lead or more over the president in seven key swing states – and most of those are an increase from polling conducted in March.

    In Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin Trump is leading by three points, in Georgia by five, in Pennsylvania by six, in North Carolina by nine and in Arizona by 10.

    The numbers are a bad sign for Biden who is already facing doubts about his ability to campaign and win the November election. Members of his own party have asked him to step aside and make room for a different, younger, candidate."

    538 model shows Biden's odds of winning are best since May.

    The model used by 538 considers historical factors, keys similar to Lichtman's model such as the state of the economy, and polls. It doesn't rely solely on one of those approaches.


    President Joe Biden's odds best since May in new 538 model

    excerpt:

    "The site’s model “puts a healthy amount of weight on non-polling factors such as economic growth and political indicators,” analytical director G. Elliott Morris explained. “Today these indicators suggest an outcome closer to a 3-point Biden win — clear in the opposite direction of national polls.”

    “In effect, we are hedging our bets” in an attempt to account for polling biases and uncertainty amid the election cycle, Morris said."

    Polls in 2016 were showing Hillary with a slight lead over Trump, but Lichtman's non-poll 'keys' model predicted Trump would win.

    The same performance as the infamous Trump cabinet meeting during his first year in office where they went around the horn with each member praising Trump to the extreme.

    One thing that summarizes the vast differences in character between two men seeking to lead our country....

    Kai Trump plays golf with her grandfather ALL the time, and he is strongly engaged and forever encouraging in her life,

    Navy Roberts is Joe Bidens granddaughter, and he absolutely refused to even acknowledge her existence


    THAT is the measure of these two men.

    Sharks, shocks, or ... shots.

    Absolute immunity: Absolute catastrophe? - UPI.com

    excerpt:

    "For argument's sake, had the absolute immunity finding been in place in 1974, would Richard M. Nixon have been forced to resign? Clearly, Nixon's discussions with White House Counsel John Dean had to be "official." And in these circumstances, could Nixon have ordered the Justice Department to carry out a warrantless raid on Watergate and Democratic National Headquarters based on urgent national security needs? In this case, seizure of the so-called threatening material would outweigh gaining a conviction as the case would be overturned for illegal search and seizure.

    What this ruling means is that the only lever on presidential misconduct in light of a definition of "official" duties is impeachment and conviction. And when could or would that have happened? If Nixon was protected by this ruling, the grim news delivered by Barry Goldwater and Republican elders that the votes to convict were there would not have happened."

    https://www.bu.edu/articles/2024/supreme-court-grants-trump-broad-immunity-from-prosecution/

    excerpt:

    Still, and crucially for Smith, the court declined to wade into much discussion of what else, exactly, falls into the first category.

    “It only touches those two areas as examples of core exclusive presidential powers. Everything else—something like 90 percent of the case against Trump—is beyond those two areas,” Shugerman says. “Instead of thinking about it as trying the case before a jury, Smith can try the case as an evidentiary hearing in the court of public opinion.”

    After all, there’s nothing to stop the federal district court judge from holding hearings from September through October, during which Smith would make the case—for all to hear—against Trump as his actions relate to January 6.

    “The timing of these evidentiary hearings could be quite bad for someone trying to run for president,” Shugerman says.
