Two lawmakers who served on the Jan. 6 select committee slammed Donald Trump’s lawyer John Lauro’s argument, made on MSNBC’s Meet The Press over the weekend, that his client, the former president, simply committed a “technical violation of the Constitution” but did not break any criminal laws when he pressured then Vice President Mike Pence to stop the 2020 electoral count.
After teaching at Washington State University (WSU) since 2017, Dr. Renata Moon was terminated in June of this year after voicing concerns about the dangers of the Covid-19 mRNA shots for children. Dr. Moon was invited to a U.S. Senate fact-finding subcommittee in December of 2022 to provide testimony on what she was seeing in patients. The decision not to renew her annual contract, as revealed in recent court documents, was made despite her unblemished 25-year career as a board-certified Pediatrician.
Technically, plotting a coup is illegal. Whadda gonna do?
“Technically” a violation of law is, you know, “technically” a “crime.” If you wanna get all “technical.”
JHFC.
This has legs. And it is a BFD.

‘Live in hell!’: Trump flips out on Pelosi for calling him a ‘scared puppy’ - Raw Story - Celebrating 19 Years of Independent Journalism
The former president, who was on the receiving end of his second federal indictment this week related to his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, appears to have taken exception to the Democratic lawmaker’s comment that he looked like a “scared puppy” at his arraignment.
That, in turn, led to an early Sunday morning rant where he attempted to make the case that her words were “vicious.”
On Truth Social he wrote, “I purposely didn’t comment on Nancy Pelosi’s very weird story concerning her husband, but now I can because she said something about me, with glee, that was really quite vicious. ‘I saw a scared puppy,’ she said, as she watched me on television, like millions of others, that didn’t see that.”
"I wasn’t ‘scared’," the former president insisted before adding, "Nevertheless, how mean a thing to say!
Mebbe trump was just “technically” president those 4 years. Waddya say to thst Mr lawyer Lauro?
Or, maybe it was, I don’t know, “aspirational” (which was the way Lauro characterized Trump’s pressure on Pence not to certify the election).
I’m still a bit baffled about the concept of having one
of Trump’s lead lawyers spending time discussing their
strategy on the public airwaves instead of saving it for
the courtroom, unless, of course, they don’t believe they
have a winning case, and instead want to rile up the base
to intimidate Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, and the DoJ
to either drop charges or go very easy on him under
threats of violence.
None of it will work. Not the threats, not the desire to
change venue nor the judge in the case. I hope he gets
used to hearing “no”, though judging from the E. Jean
Carroll case, he’ll have a very hard time accepting it.
Is there anything else going on besides Donald Trump and his crazy propaganda lawyers (they used to be called publicists but lawyer makes them sound sort of official?) Are we stuck in this Trump hell until he dies? Personnally I am tired of the coodinatated propaganda being republished by every damn media institution in America.
I heard aliens arrived from some distant star but it only made it to page 10 below the fold.
Uh…so I guess that a law against conspiracy is technically a violation of an unlimited first amendment, but since technical violations no longer count, we’re all good!
“Trump believed in his heart of hearts”
Fact not in evidence.
Just throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks
That’s all they have

Two Buildings Collapse In Juneau In Flood From Glacial Melt | Crooks and Liars
By Susie Madrak — August 7, 2023
In another manifestation of climate change, at least two buildings in Juneau, Alaska have been destroyed and residents of others have been evacuated after flooding caused by a release of water from a glacier-dammed lake, officials said Sunday. Via the Associated Press:
It’s amazing that in Trumpland they can be making the case that he’s a complete idiot who believed every single whackadoodle theory about the election and thought he actually won, so clearly is unable to functionally assess reality, while at the same time saying he should again be the president of the most powerful nation on the planet.
Jamie Raskin is right.
Again.
And ‘deranged’ is exactly the right word too.
Every action from Trump and his team will aim to derange every piece and part of this indictment.
Language as always will take the first casualties and lots of them.
First they kill the words.
Nobody, but nobody knows how to handle Trump
better than Pelosi. It makes sense considering she has
raised many children and grandchildren.
“Scared puppy” is especially potent considering comparing his foes to “dogs” is one of his favorite go-to jibes. And that’s without even getting into calling a wannabe fascist
strongman “scared”.
Pence has never said is that he thought President Trump was acting criminally
Huh? Seems like Trump has never stopped acting criminally!
Oops—pressed the wrong reply box. Please forgive.
I saw a clip of the interaction of MtP on this matter and honestly the reason Chuck Toad is being replaced is that his entire response after briefly attempting to push back was basically, “homina, homina, homina” to tRump’s lawyer’s claims. It was a weak attempt, and his lawyer continued to filibuster with non-stop bullshit. Nobody needs that to understand the issue with that kind of ongoing disinformation. It might as well have been a segment on Faux news.
Meanwhile Trump’s defenders turn the inciting up to 11.
