Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Two days ago representatives of Donald Trump's campaign said that Trump's youngest son Barron, who recently turned 18, would be one of Florida's presidential delegates at this year's Republican National Convention. Today the office of his mother, Melania Trump, says that while he's honored to be so ...

Re: War between Hamas an"d Israel
So "indefinitely" turned out to mean a few days, because the State Dept. report I mentioned below has now been issued and finds that Israel may have violated international human rights laws using U.S. weapons, but "it hasn't violated terms of U.S. weapons agreements ... the State Depa...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Overheard on CNN just now: a reporter quoting Stormy Daniels explaining to Donald Trump's attorney that "the sex is real; that's why it's pornography."

Re: War between Hamas and Israel
CNN has started to release excerpts from today's interview with President Biden, including this clip which is relevant to this thread: https://twitter.com/YonahLieberman/status/1788339150610907570 Naturally one of the first replies still criticizes Biden as "Genocide Joe." It sounds like B...

Re: Chaos in Congress
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's effort to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson has failed , 359-43. Voting to block this move were 196 Republicans and 163 Democrats. You may remember that Democrats did not vote to help Speaker Kevin McCarthy when a similar move was made against him several months ago. Only...

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
It seems that President Biden is just taunting the New York Times:
CNN: "Erin Burnett will sit down with President Biden for an exclusive one-on-one interview tomorrow. Interview will air Wednesday at 7 p.m. (ET) on Erin Burnett OutFront."

Re: Trump and others charged with conspiring to overturn 2020 election in Georgia
And to temper my dismay: we have been here before, but we didn't know it. Richard Nixon probably didn't need to break the law to win the 1972 election, but that's what he did, with Watergate and other acts of election interference. Nixon probably broke the law in 1968 as well, by undermining the U.S...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
At this time, most swing state polls show Donald Trump leading President Biden by several points. But one new swing state poll, from Quinnipiac in Wisconsin, shows that among registered voters, Biden leads Trump 50%-44%. However, that drops to a one-point lead if RFK Jr. is added to the mix: 40%-39%...

Re: War between Hamas and Israel

Re: Trump and others charged with conspiring to overturn 2020 election in Georgia
Anthony Kreis is right to say that this is largely Fani Willis's fault because she didn't take the case seriously enough to, at the very least, consider when starting a romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she hired just what the defense might do with that situation. I am beyond angry a...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
I think this is correct : "Imagine how the media would react if in 2012 Barack Obama was on trial for election campaign fraud involving a sex with a porn star. Literally every op-ed in America would be calling for him to drop out." So what changed in the past dozen years that made the medi...

Good question here : is Rep.

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
When I was a kid back in the mid-1980s, my family drove from Ohio down to Florida to visit relatives in Miami, and one thing I remember was my dad and stepmom being baffled by the local news being on TV by 4 p.m. -- here in Cleveland, it didn't start until 6 p.m. -- and more notably, that it was jus...

Re: Trump Charged With 37 counts of Espionage, Obstruction and related crimes
It's surely inappropriate for attorney Ty Cobb to be commenting (not for the first time) on criminal proceedings pertaining his former client, Donald Trump (although I guess Cobb's client was the President not the person), even on cases like this one where Cobb has not played a role, and what's more...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
I saw that Judge Merchan had asked Donald Trump's lawyers, after a midday break, if they had spoken with their client. Now we know what that was about : the judge could hear Trump cursing under his breath during Stormy Daniels's testimony. https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/178798143009555691...
