It’s beautiful. It’s hard to see from a distance but it’s big and it’s getting bigger. Mr. Smith is coming to Washington and New York, and you, America. Mr. Smith will be bringing the goods with him.

Carlson’s use of the word “transition”, repeatedly, in his swipe at Justin Pearson, seems, oh, I don’t know, just a little suspect. Is Tuckums going for a character assassination twofer?

Donald Trump flew into New York and arrived in Manhattan early Thursday morning ahead of a deposition in front of New York attorney general Letitia James. Trump did not stop as he stepped into Trump Tower but was seen waving briefly as he hurriedly walked inside. He took to Truth Social shortly afterwards, confirming his arrival while taking the opportunity to slam James as “racist” and “TRUMP HATING.” “I built a GREAT & prosperous company, employed thousands of people, built magnificent structures all over the World, but particularly in New York, & now have to prove it to this LOWLIFE,” Trump fumed, while taking aim at the judge in case. James filed the civil lawsuit in New York state court last September against Trump and his three adult children—Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric—alleging rampant business and tax fraud.

This will almost surely force the Justice Department to go the conservative Supreme Court… these decisions are so bad that even the six-justice conservative majority may have trouble swallowing them.”

Correct me if I’m wrong. Dominion already got a summary judgment on the issue of liability. The trial is about damages. The new evidence goes to malice. The Defendants intended to damage Dominion.

It is a new world, and Rupert Murdoch’s take on it is destroying everything he built over the years. Oh well, too bad, so sad!
