Thursday was a HUGE day in court for Donald Trump. TWO courts, actually. The Supreme Court in DC heard Donald Trumps "TOTAL IMMUNITY FOR LIFE" case and the New York Election Interference (Hush Money/Stormy Daniels) case continued with David Pecker on the stand for day 3. First, the Supreme Court. Some observations: I can say with reasonable confidence that if you’re arguing a case in the Supreme Court of the United States and Justices Alito and Sotomayor are tag-teaming you, you are going to lose. — George Conway (@gtconway3d) April 25, 2024 These are some of the most extreme, authorita ..read more

Lousiana's Governor with what I would also call a self-own here, by defending the Republican bill with a colorful comparison. "I’ll give you a great example, when you go to a restaurant, do you go over there and watch the cook make everything he serves you? No, you just walk into a restaurant, those restaurants you that you think serve a great meal and you order that great meal. You don’t want to know how, what the cook put in there." I'll assume he was going for sausage-making, the cliché that politicians often resort to when they don't want the public to know what they've been up to. Jeff L ..read more

Meet Mike Davis of The Article III Project, a right-wing outfit that backs Mr. Trump’s judicial nominees. Brett Kavanaugh described Davis as a "warrior" on his behalf. Yeah. Now Davis has nothing to do but go on Bannon and make mouth noises regarding fantasies about prosecuting Barack Obama for murder. Video and transcript via Media Matters: MIKE DAVIS (ARTICLE III PROJECT): If the Supreme Court does not rule the right way and protects the presidency and therefore our country, that means the Trump 47 Justice Department can indict President Obama for capital murder, along with now-Judge David ..read more

During Thursday's Supreme Court hearing, Trump lawyer John Sauer was made to look foolish trying to defend his claim that the president would get immunity even if he assassinates his political rival. Justice Sotomayor was not amused. Sotomayor: Your answer below, I'm going to give you a chance to say if you stay by it – if the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him, is that within his official acts for which he can get immunity? Sauer: It would depend on the hypothetical, but we can see that could well be an offici ..read more

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan briefly stunned John Sauer, Donald Trump's attorney, by asking if the president could stage a coup. The confrontation came Thursday during oral arguments before the high court about whether Trump enjoys presidential immunity for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Trump is fighting charges of election interference from special counsel Jack Smith. Sauer repeatedly argued that the president could not be charged unless he was first impeached and convicted by the Senate. "Well, he's gone," Kagan proposed. "Let's say this preside ..read more

Courtesy of TP USA, Killer Kyle Rittenhouse has been doing a tour of campuses to talk about something, but no one was sure quite what it was he wanted to speak about because he kept getting run off of campus, time and time again. But when Killer Kyle went to Kent State - the most offensive of his stops thus far - the campus cooperated by shutting down the voices of the students that actually go there in favor of the emotionally stunted social outcast. And thus, the purpose of his campus tours was revealed and, honestly, if it wasn't so funny, it would be just sad. Kyle was trying to recruit s ..read more

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at his former attorney general for endorsing him in the November presidential election. And I'm not sure what Bill Barr expected, but this is the status quo with the twice-impeached, four-times indicted, petty, petulant, wannabe potentate. Bill Barr, who was one of Trump's most prominent critics, said that despite his differences with his former boss, he will support "the Republican ticket" in November. Barr should know that loyalty to Donald is a one-way street. "Wow! Former A.G. Bill Barr, who let a lot of great people down by not investigating ..read more

Have you ever had a narcissist in your life, and you got to the point that you had to go completely no contact? That's what House Speaker Mike Johnson seems to be doing with controversial MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Johnson just came out and said it on Jesse Watters' show. When asked if he had "nightmares about Marjorie Taylor Greene, he said, "I don't think about her at all." Narcissists hate that more than anything. "We don't have a functioning majority when you can only lose one vote if one person has a different idea, we don't," Johnson said. " "So it's like a coalition government ..read more

Trump attorney Alina Habba told Newsmax Trump devotee host Greg Kelly that the signs don't look too good for Trump's acquittal. Kelly fawned, "How are you? What do you think about everything?" "Exactly how i felt that day," she said. "I think until it's over and behind us, um, but I don't have hopes really that high at this moment that the New York courts will do the right thing." "That the jury will do the right thing. We're in a blue state. as you know, Greg and I think everything's by design," she said. She went on to use the usual Trump line that it's an unfair case brought about by the b ..read more

While the completely unqualified Lara Trump (Eric’s wife) takes over the RNC and turns it into a cult of loyalists, the just as unqualified sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are trying to do the same with the Trump transition. Please God, may this remain a family dream only. From Axios: Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have become key players in the early planning for a second Trump administration's transition team, and would focus on vetting potential officials and staffers for ideology and loyalty, campaign aides and close allies to their father tell Axios. Why it matters: Neither brothe ..read more
