US Supreme Court Justice Thomas Recuses Himself From Trump-Related Case This could be hugely significant if Thomas continues to do this as Trump-related cases reach the Supreme Court. Until now, Thomas has been a reliable vote on the Supreme Court bench. If he recuses himself from all...

I'm not a leftist. I'm a centrist, but you're damn right that I'm cheering with pom poms. I'm not cheering a witch hunt. I'm cheering that the accountability train has finally arrived. I'm not celebrating any authoritarian. I'm celebrating that wannabe authoritarian Trump is not above the law.

You called it right. Trump showed up for trial this morning and paused at the microphones to make a statement before entering the courtroom. He said the same things he has said before, but his remarks were broadcast by numerous cable channels and other outlets. However, that may not help him...

That disclaimer clause was heard by the court and rejected as an argument. Replaying it here again is meaningless. Trump has been found liable for fraud. Moments ago, he just entered the courtroom for the PUNISHMENT phase of his trial. The pesky fact is that the disclaimer clause is meaningless...

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People One of the best selling books of all time is Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. When Trump goes to prison and has lots of spare time, he can write his own book, "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People." He completed the preface this...

Irrelevant Polls A year from now, the election will be about a month away. Today's polls will be as relevant then as last year's weather report is today.

Tomorrow Will be Interesting Trump said he will attend the first week of his New York fraud trial. If he actually shows up, he will be face-to-face with the judge who recently ruled Trump is a fraud and who sentenced Trump's New York companies to death by canceling their business certificates...

I was not aware of that news story. Thank you for providing it. I'm glad to learn DOJ made this announcement. It is the right thing to do, even as it was wrong to confirm the investigation in the first place. That said, there is a major difference between being "cleared" and not being...

Maybe. But there have been times when DOJ has unambiguously notified investigation subjects in the past that charges will not be filed. I'd like to see them do that in Gaetz's case. I'd be happy with the first part. No need to mention the second part.

With Gaetz openly calling for McCarthy's removal from the Speaker's chair, and making that motion this week, how amenable do you thing McCarthy will be to giving Gaetz anything? At some point things like these become personal, and I think we may have reached that point now.

What exactly do you mean by "cleared?" As far as I know, there was an investigation, and then nothing. I know of no official action saying Gaetz was cleared. But I also know of no official action saying the investigation found reason to charge Gaetz. In this matter, my sympathies lie with...

Levin Joins the Republican Circular Firing Squad

Marjorie Taylor Greene for House Speaker Let the Republican insanity play out to its logical conclusion. Let the chaos reign! And let the voters fix this s** t in 2024.

House Republicans Cannot Resist Dysfunctional Performances "House GOP members are preparing a motion to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., amid his renewed threat to pursue a motion to vacate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy." With the circular firing squad the House Republicans have now formed, the...

Is Matt Gaetz Overplaying His Hand? Gaetz announced Sunday his plan to make a motion to vacate the US House Speaker's chair. If the resolution passes on a majority vote, McCarthy is out as speaker and the House will need to elect a replacement. I'm hoping House Republicans use this opportunity...

Exactly as I expected. No shutdown. It's sad that expectations of Congress are so low that people count it as a victory when the government continues to run day-to-day.

Do you speak for all of MAGA; for every single MAGA voter?

Antiquated view. Antiquated info.

For Trump in court this week: Zero wins. Five losses. Details in previous post.
