Who else remembers when Orrin Hatch was pushing a Constitutional Amendment to allow the most incompetent person ever in the California Governorship to run and serve as President?

ugh. seeing that odious Foxx woman all smiley and yelling at reporters was not how I wanted to start my day. Thanks for the cute animal photos, it helps.
It seems like this guy will probably have the votes to make it in? Which is awful.

I missed this bit
Tuesday’s testimony also featured several unexpected characters: the Buffalo Bills football team and singer Bon Jovi.
In 2014, Mr Trump reportedly tried to buy the NFL team based in upstate New York.
But his bid fell apart - and proved to be a key line of questioning for prosecutors on Tuesday as they sought to show an instance of how Mr Trump inflated the value of his assets.
When the Bills were put up for sale about 10 years ago, Mr Trump reportedly found himself in a three-way bidding war with the owner of Buffalo’s professional hockey team as well as a group of Canadian investors who had teamed up with Bon Jovi.
The war turned tense, with Bon Jovi critics trying to block the singer’s bid, while Mr Trump reportedly hired a Republican political operative to try to stop his rivals.
Cohen claimed the bidding process also proved fraudulent, testifying on Tuesday that Mr Trump used a financial statement with inflated assets to prove he had the funds to purchase the team.
It did not work, a point that Mr Trump’s lawyer, Christopher Kise, argued made prosecutors’ line of questioning irrelevant to the case.
But “because fraud was not fully perpetrated” does not mean it was not relevant, the prosecutor argued.
Also shows intent?
As Ms Habba continued her line of questioning, she continued to take aim at Cohen, saying: “you’re not on your podcast… you’re here with me”.
Hubba hubba, Habba!

More worried about what happens if he is not elected but proceeds to trample on the results anyway.

Yes, I missed that. It’s a sticking point for sure.

Also he’s a media celebrity. Please FSM, let’s have Trump be the last person who wins a national election just because he’s a media celebrity. Reagan set a terrible precedent there and it needs to end, now.

C’mon! He was born in Austria not Kenya, give the guy a break. Elon Musk was born in South Africa, but it was during Apartheid, so he is Kosher too.

I was observing that Emmer only lasted .00024 nScar. I suspect that will stand as a record.
Correction, a math error led to grossly under-reporting Rep Emmers time as speaker designate. The correct value should be 0.0144 nScar. We apologize for this error.

Chutkan pauses her gag order, so Trump takes full advantage. Even when Trump is made subject to the same rules as everyone else facing a criminal trial, he conducts business as usual. Because the courts just can’t bring themselves to force Trump to conform to their demands.
Trump is not subject to the nation’s laws.
E. Jean Carroll will never see a dime.
Trump will never spend a day in a penitentiary.

Michael Cohen Testifies Trump Ordered Him to Inflate Wealth
“He’s a known felon liar!!!” - Donald “Undisputed King of Projection” Trump
But he lied for YOU. He went to jail because of YOU. Then YOU sued him for $500mil. Then you dropped to suit, hoping that he would testify on YOUR behalf.
But Cohen isn’t one of your sons. He isn’t scraping the bottom edge of a 90 IQ.
In August 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts including campaign-finance violations, tax fraud, and bank fraud. Cohen said he violated campaign-finance laws at Trump’s direction “for the principal purpose of influencing” the 2016 presidential election.

Once again, the takeaway here is that republicans who weren’t claiming fraud were arguing that eligible voters should not have been able to vote.

Fortunately, a strongly held belief, no matter how weird, will completely nullify things that are actually happening in front of the believer’s eyes.
