I guess this is the sort of thread one puts up when there's nothing all that good going on for Trump.
Exchange of the Day

Andrew Weissmann, the lead prosecutor on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russia interference in the 2016 election, was interviewed by Charlie Sykes on the Bulwark Podcast:
SYKES: If [they at the Justice Department] don’t go forward with charges, if they decide that it’s just too heavy a lift, and Trump is returned to the presidency, what would Trump 2.0 look like, do you think?
WEISSMANN: I don’t know that I have enough alcohol at home to even fathom that.
The abuse of the pardon power...which we already saw, I think would create a completely lawless society. He could essentially engage in crime and have other people engage in crime, and then pardon them.
I think he has learned to make sure he’s surrounded by lackeys. The article recently in Axios about essentially getting rid of civil service... [to] put in only political appointees, and [get rid of] various agencies, I think would be incredibly harmful, so that you don’t have a sense of people being loyal to the law and the Constitution as opposed to a person. It would be truly frightening.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi husband, Paul Pelosi, has sold all of his stock in NVIDIA on Tuesday as Congress is set to pass the "CHIPS-plus" bill.
Paul Pelosi sold between $1 million and $5 million worth of NVIDIA stock, or 25,000 shares, at an average price of $165.05 on July 26, according to a mandatory congressional financial disclosure filed Tuesday by the speaker. Members of Congress are only required to report the values of their trades in broad ranges.
The disclosure states that by selling the shares, Paul Pelosi suffered a "total loss of $341,365."
This disclosure of a financial loss is notable because Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California, rarely volunteers such detailed information about her husband's stock and stock option trades.
I never watched it either.
Far-right conspiratorial channel One America News is taking the loss of its last major pay-TV provider pretty hard.
In the wake of telecom giant Verizon revealing on Thursday that it will drop OAN from its Fios cable provider, the pro-Trump propaganda network has repeatedly run a segment from unhinged host Pearson Sharp absolutely raging over the decision.
Nor did I. Some shows are duds.
Besides urging OAN viewers to cancel their Verizon subscriptions, Sharp also accused the tech company of pushing a “Marxist agenda.”
“Over the last few years, we've watched as countless independent, freethinking, and conservative organizations were shut down and censored by the radical left. Regrettably, that toxic cancel culture is still alive and well, and it's coming after One America News,” Sharp groused at the top of the segment first flagged by liberal watchdog Media Matters.
Most other companies are taking them off too.
Gun Companies Made $1 Billion from Assault Weapon Sales
July 27, 2022 at 11:26 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
“Major gun manufacturers have made over $1 billion in the last decade selling military-style assault weapons, according to an investigation by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform,” CNBC reports.
___________
Take that over $1 billion and divide it by the number of school children, teachers, and others killed by assault rifles and we will see the immense profit-per-death the gun companies racked up.
Be proud, GOP. Be proud, Trump.
This is why he should be a Justice on The Supreme Court.
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said an interview that aired on NBC Nightly News Tuesday that “anyone” would be held accountable.
“We will hold accountable anyone who was criminally responsible for attempting to interfere with the transfer, legitimate, lawful transfer of power from one administration to the next,” Garland told NBC Nightly News’ Lester Holt.
McConnell blocked him during the Obama administration.
Chief Justice Roberts would not have voted to overturn Roe v Wade if Garland was approved.
Why did this get deleted.

Take that one billion in profits and divide it by the number of school children, teachers, and others killed by assault rifles in America and you will have the average profit-per-victim's death the gun companies were able to rack up.
But I have to post this because the odds are that he will be indicted..
The Justice Department Finally Turns Its Focus to Trump
July 27, 2022 at 10:06 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 48 Comments
Attorney General Merrick Garland gave an interview to NBC News yesterday but sounded like a law professor when asked if the Justice Department was investigating former President Donald Trump over his role in the January 6 insurrection.
Said Garland: “We intend to hold everyone, anyone who was criminally responsible for the events surrounding Jan. 6, for any attempt to interfere with the lawful transfer of power from one administration to another, accountable. That’s what we do. We don’t pay any attention to other issues with respect to that.”
He gave no indication that Trump was even the target of an investigation.
But perhaps not by coincidence, the Washington Post later broke the story that the Justice Department was indeed investigating Trump’s actions.
An hour or so later a New York Times story reported that federal prosecutors “have directly asked witnesses in recent days” about Trump’s involvement in efforts to reverse his election loss.
The stories suggested there were two investigative routes that prosecutors were pursuing:
Seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to obstruct a government proceeding.Potential fraud associated with the “fake electors” scheme or with Trump pressuring the Justice Department to falsely claim that the election was rigged.
The New York Times also reported on explosive emails from Trump advisers who were concocting the fake electors scheme. The messages show they knew the plan might be illegal, acknowleding they would “just be sending in ‘fake’ electoral votes to Pence so that ‘someone’ in Congress can make an objection when they start counting votes, and start arguing that the ‘fake’ votes should be counted.”
A follow up email suggested they call them “alternative” electoral votes instead of “fake” electoral votes, followed by a smiley-face emoji.
We’ll see where the investigation leads, but as George Conway notes:
If you had asked me to hypothesize, for illustrative purposes, a set of emails that prosecutors would find helpful in proving a fake-elector fraud conspiracy, I would not have come up with anything nearly as incriminating as the emails that the Times just reported on today.
Seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to obstruct a government proceeding.Potential fraud associated with the “fake electors” . Two charges, sedition has a 20 year sentence.
Good news for the President.
Joe Biden has tested negative for Covid-19 and will discontinue his isolation after contracting the virus last Thursday, his doctor said Wednesday.
In a letter, Kevin O’Connor said the US president had tested negative for Covid-19 on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, and has completed the five-day isolation period recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The same thing happened to me a few months ago 😕
Gaslighting
"Gas prices have declined by an average of 69 cents per gallon over the past 42 days. That's six straight weeks of declines – and the fastest decline in over a decade!" White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wrote on Twitter."
So which is it alky, Biden raised price or he has the power to lower them,?
Day #1 gas was $2.24.
Today it is. $4.30.
So Team Biden cheering a $2.06 rise.
This is perfect example of gaslighting.
I was wrong about Trump
By M.B. Mathews
I recently wrote a column about why I believed Trump should not run in 2024. I was wrong. I allowed my distaste for Trump’s personality to override his virtues, which are considerable. Some people want Trump without his vices. I was among them -- until yesterday, when I watched and listened to Tom Klingenstein’s speech titled “Trump’s virtues.” It was masterful and shamed me that I did not make the distinction between Trump's character and his virtues, the former being deeply flawed, the latter being almost perfect. I need to man up in my defense of the former President's virtues.

Dr. BRIX.
Lied as did Dr. Fauci the entire time.

Thank god!

Fox News Snubs Trump’s Return to Washington
July 27, 2022 at 12:35 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
“Former President Donald Trump and his Vice President Mike Pence gave competing speeches on Tuesday and received very different live coverage across cable news – particularly on Fox News,”
Mediaite reports.
“Pence spoke first at the Young America’s Foundation, a conservative youth group, and received just over 15 minutes of live coverage on Fox News. Neither CNN nor MSNBC covered Pence’s speech live but discussed its content in multiple segments throughout the day.
“Trump spoke later in the day at the America First Policy Institute summit in Washington, D.C., and gave a 90-minute barn burner of a speech that was ignored by all three major networks live but was carried in its entirety by Newsmax.”
BUT IGNORED BY FOX...
MY, MY!
If I was a house building company owner I would be very frightened.
Inflation and interest rate hikes are driving up the cost of housing — and it's causing many would-be homebuyers to put their homeownership dreams on pause.
As buyers get cold feet, some of the nation's largest homebuilders are seeing their production volumes fall while their cancellation rates rise.
PulteGroup, a residential home construction company based in Atlanta, Georgia, is just one of many.
The homebuilder's net new orders were down 23% from the same time period in 2021, it reported in its second-quarter earnings call Tuesday. The cancellation rate of 15% was up from 7% just a year ago.
My dad Ivan was a contractor in the late 60s until 1974. One of them we built in "Dark canyon" right outside of Rapid City. A couple weeks after the 1972 Rapid City flood I was able to go see it. The only thing left was the concrete foundation and floor.
The owners were trying to get away , he tried to lock the front wheels on his Ford Bronco. They had to climb up a tree and survived the 500 year flood.
QAnon Candidates Stumble...
July 27, 2022 at 12:58 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
New York Times:
“Their bleak prospects reflect the shifting role that conspiracy theories play in American politics. The Republican Party flirted with QAnon in 2020, as several Q-linked candidates sought higher office and Q merchandise appeared at rallies for then-President Donald Trump across the country. Yet identifying with the movement emerged as a political liability.
"As they have during this election cycle, Democrats attacked Q-linked candidates as extremists, and all but two — Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado — lost their races.
“But many QAnon themes have burrowed deeper into mainstream Republican politics this year, experts say, including the false belief that ‘evil’ deep-state operatives control the government and that Mr. Trump is waging a war against them.
"Savvy candidates have found ways to tap that excitement — all without explicitly mentioning the conspiracy theory.”

Yeah, just don't really admit you're actually EXTREMISTS!
Bottom up economics.¿
After years of decline, the American labor movement is experiencing a resurgence, with an increase in popularity of unions and of workers organizing.
But the corporate pushback in America has been fierce, and has come amid aallegations of union-busting, and brutal campaigns to try and discourage workers from organizing.
An August 2021 poll conducted by Gallup found support for labor unions at their highest point in the US since 1965, with 68% support in the US. Labor unions were the only institution for whom Americans’ approval did not decline over the past year, in a June poll on confidence for 16 major US institutions.
During the first three-quarters of the fiscal year, the National Labor Relations reported an increase of union election petitions by 58%, up to 1,892 from 1,197.
If the unions get back to the 60s most middle class will get a higher percentage of the GDP
If I was a house building company owner I would be very frightened.
I thought liberals argued that people are not companies and companies are not people? How could you possibly become a home builder (house building company)?
That seems like a tall change...
Trump Just Told Us His Masterplan

THE EVEN BIGGER LIES
David Frum:
Yesterday, an ex-president who had tried to overturn a democratic election by violence returned to Washington, D.C., to call for law and order.
Again and again, the speech reversed reality.
The ex-president who had spread an actual big lie against the legitimacy of the 2020 election tried to appropriate the phrase big lie to use against his opponents.
...and there was indeed an idea in Donald Trump’s speech at a conference hosted by the America First Policy Institute:
a sinister idea,
but one to take seriously.
Trump sketched out a vision that a new Republican Congress could enact sweeping new emergency powers for the next Republican president.

IOW, If he gets in next time, he won’t be dislodged by any means.
HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF DICTATORIAL PRESIDENT FOR LIFE.

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday enacted its second consecutive 0.75 percentage point interest rate increase as it seeks to tamp down runaway inflation without creating a recession.
In taking the benchmark overnight borrowing rate up to a range of 2.25%-2.5%, the moves in June and July represent the most stringent consecutive moves since the Fed began using the overnight funds rate as the principal tool of monetary policy in the early 1990s.
While the fed funds rate most directly impacts what banks charge each other for short-term loans, it feeds into a multitude of consumer products such as adjustable mortgages, auto loans and credit cards. The increase takes the funds rate to its highest level since December 2018.
Markets largely expected the move after Fed officials telegraphed the increase in a series of statements since the June meeting. Central bankers have emphasized the importance of bringing down inflation even if it means slowing the economy.
In its post-meeting statement, the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee cautioned that “recent indicators of spending and production have softened.”
“Nonetheless, job gains have been robust in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low,” the committee added, using language similar to the June statement. Officials again described inflation as “elevated” and ascribed the situation to supply chain issues and higher prices for food and energy along with “broader price pressures.“
The rate hike was approved unanimously. In June, Kansas City Fed President Esther George dissented, advocating a slower course with a half percentage point increase.
🤣Vox Media is laying off 39 people, less than 2% of its total staff of more than 2000, in an effort to get ahead of economic uncertainty, according to a source familiar with the cuts and a memo obtained by Axios.
Why it matters:😝🤪😜
Roger , what economic effect do you see coming from the 75 basis point increase?
Does this kick start Build Back Better 🤔
WASHINGTON—The Federal Reserve continued a sprint to reverse its easy-money policies by approving another unusually large interest rate increase and signaling more rises were likely coming to combat inflation that is running at a 40-year high.
Officials agreed Wednesday to a 0.75-percentage-point rate rise, which will lift their benchmark federal-funds rate to a range between 2.25% and 2.5%. The rate increase won unanimous backing from the 12-member rate-setting committee.

In a policy statement after the conclusion of their two-day meeting, officials acknowledged signs of slower economic activity since they met last month. “Recent indicators of spending and production have softened. Nonetheless, job gains have been robust in recent months,” the statement said.

I mean it should have kicked in by now.
House Dems punt on assault weapons and funding the police
The caucus currently lack the votes to pass a package of bills that would ban so-called assault weapons and offer additional funding to local police departments.
