That is correct. They have no remorse for what they did and no apologies were issued by any of the Tennessee Three.

Should a judge who donated a trivial amount of money to political causes that could be construed as anti-Trump, years before any Trump-related case came before his court, recuse himself from a Trump-related case now before him? Yes, I think he should. Judge Merchan should recuse himself from...

In fact, their speaking on the floor demonstrated good decorum. They waited their turn. They made respectable speeches. Not once did the Speaker call them out of order.

True, but a party line expulsion is unprecedented. In that House, expulsions are exceedingly rare and until yesterday there has never been a party line expulsion. Some could but no one who had a say in this did. The official violation was said to be a decorum rules breach. It didn't. I...

A dubious explanation.

Jones alleged racism at that point, and others did the same as the events of the day played out. Three representatives were subject to expulsion votes. Now known as "The Tennessee Three," two of them are young black men (one mixed-race Filipino/Black) and one is a 60-year-old white woman. All...

Precedent is often a factor when determining the suitability of the consequences for a given offense. Expulsion of Tennessee state representatives by the Tennessee House is not unprecedented. It's been done before. So we can look at those examples to determine whether yesterday's expulsions were...

I presume that, like me, most Americans have never heard of the representatives in question before they showed up on the national news yesterday. Their names are Justin Jones and Justin Pearson. A third representative is Gloria Johnson (60) did the same thing as Jones and Pearson but was not...

The woman in question is Gloria Johnson. She did not apologize. In fact, she refused to apologize. The post you cite seems to me to be misinformation made up to support a FALSE narrative. Whatever points we want to make, you and I can always find someone online saying something in support. But...

Two of the three representatives in question were expelled. Many people, including me, believe expulsion was heavy-handed. Yes, these three violated the rules of decorum. And yes, they should be held accountable. But expelling them for a decorum violation is like sentencing someone to a year in...

A Review 1. Trump Foundation. Improper use of foundation funds Status: Trump settles. Trump Foundation dissolved. $2 million paid to legitimate charities. $1.7 million of remaining foundation funds paid to legitmate charities. 2. Trump Organization tax fraud Status: Trump Organization...

Yes. You are right. Scaramucci carries limited credibility. But in this case, it's not who is asking the question. It's the question itself. Is it in fact true that Trump has raised as much as he claims off the indictment? We'll find out when the public reports are filed.

You and I can find and quote polls all day long to support our points of view. Here's one that shows: Trump Favorable: 39.5% Trump Unfavorable: 54.2% As of April 5, this summary of multiple polls shows Trump's favorability decreased and his unfavorability increased. Boost? What boost...

Scaramucci was on TV tonight saying he thinks the amount of money raised is exaggerated. It would not be the first time Trump has lied about how much money he had. We have no way of knowing now how much of the claimed $10 million was actually raised. We will know when the government-required...

In fact, he did not turn over control of his business to his children before he became president. The show he put on at that time was a sham. He made the payments to Cohen by personally writing and signing the checks himself. Those checks are now evidence.

Polls that confirm Trump's present iron grip on Republican Party primary voters and pretty much lock in his party nomination. He has ZERO chance of prevailing in the general election.

In Other Court Action ... "Washington CNN — Former President Donald Trump’s legal team has lost a bid for emergency help from the federal appeals court in Washington, DC, to block some of his closest advisers [Meadows, Scavino, Miller, O’Brien, Ratcliffe and Cuccinelli ] from...

Pence Will Not Appeal "WASHINGTON (AP) — A spokesman for Mike Pence said Wednesday that the former vice president will not appeal a judge’s order compelling him to testify in the Justice Department’s investigation into efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020...

A concern held by some, I'm sure. I've also seen some Trump supporters warn others against a trap. Whatever the reason, bummer for Trump if he can no longer martial people into enraged crowds at locations other than rallies. He was doing his best to whip things up pretty good before he went to...

A Remarkably Tolerant Judge Judge "Merchan said the court would not issue a 'gag order' against Trump, citing his First Amendment rights as a candidate for president, but urged 'counsel on both sides' to speak to their clients and witnesses to tone down the rhetoric. "'Please refrain from...
