So, Donald Trump Jr. is the one who is going to take the fall for the old man for this shady financing from Russian sources. This was over at RawStory where Jr. was notified and approved the transfer of the money.

“Just want to keep you in the loop — no guaranty that these will get signed and funded, but we remain hopeful,” wrote John Haley, outside counsel for Trump Media, in a Dec. 24, 2021, email reviewed by the newspaper.

“Thanks john much appreciated. d,” Trump Jr. replied.

I thought he was referencing a gynist with miso. Something about someone with miso soup???

Yes: One other-side-of-the-world adversary at a time, please–preferably, one to whom we’re not terribly beholden regarding our past and future electoral successes.

DeSantis does parrot Putin talking points about Ukraine being a “regional” territorial conflict.

Wokeness - /wōk-nəs/ noun - The realization that not all U.S. citizens enjoy the same rights and privileges that white, heterosexual, cisgender, christian, men have always enjoyed, and working to extend those rights and privileges to every American.

How’s that?

Yeah–David Frum’s recent article in The Atlantic gets all that on the nose, right down to DeSantis’s not referring at all to NATO and just wanting “peace” in the region.

Wait until the well-off have no one left to maintain their gardens and pools, harvest their crops or take care of their children.

Let’s send all 772K anywhere else in America and let them gain their citizenship. Then, go back to FL and vote this idiot out of office.

My husband and I like to watch certain videos after dinner and this one was interesting to digest and it is from the MeidasTouch network where Ben Meiselas is listing the various grifts the FPLOTUS in involved in and Meiselas gets to the book that Trump is releasing next month. It is call “Letters to Trump” or something like that, but Meiselas pointed out that NARA mentioned last October that it was missing letters that were sent to Trump while he was President. Those letters were written by President Obama, Kim Jong-un and others. He thinks this more proof for Jack Smith to indict Trump, plus he has a theory on why Trump kept those letters.

Yep, that guy!

Although I think Brie-Brie Joy is cringe inducing, even a broken clock is right twice a day. This was a good job taking down someone who has no idea what she is talking about.

Pretty good–but one that I suspect Mandel wouldn’t subscribe to due to its implications.

And pertaining to the NYDA’s impending indictments: Joe Pinnochio, Trump’s new “attorney,” who flamed out spectacularly on Ari Melbar’s show, has to convince a jury, that the payment from Michael Cohen, which Michael Cohen admits to, and Trump knew about, and lied that he knew about, (which exists an audio recording, to verify), and a video taken on Air Force One, then later admitted to knowing about, a payoff which happened IN OCTOBER, 2016, RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION, which Trump calls “extortion…”

…would have happened anyway, as a personal expense…but which was triggered by an affair that happened…in 2006?

That’s a mighty big coincidence.

And that’s disregarding the fact that Alvin Bragg now has the sworn testimony of David Pecker of the National Enquirer, who has previously said that just before the payment from Trump’s lawyer to Stormy Daniels, Trump tried to get Pecker to “catch-and-kill” her story, but refused to do so. Karen McDougal’s story of her sexual affair with Trump (YUK!!!) WAS caught-and-killed by Pecker. This testimony, along with the sworn testimony of Kellyanne Conway, who fielded a call from Cohen (which Trump refused to take), and a call to Hope Hicks which he DID take, saying the payment had been made. Along with the verified fact that the reimbursement checks from Trump to Cohen, which came from two different Trump bank accounts, signed by three different people, in $35,000 increments, over a period of many months in 2017 WHILE TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT, obviously weren’t being hidden or cloaked in any way, shape or form…

#TOTALLY on the up and up.

The WI spending numbers are a head scratcher. Some outside groups do appear to be spending heavily on Kelly’s behalf. There have been anti-Protasiewicz ads running in the Madison market

Edit: I see that Dicktator has already made this point

About to post something, but that’s the problem: the opportunity is there, but Florida Democrats strangely have to be prodded to vote.
