I find it particularly interesting since I brought it up!
Setting aside the question of whether Trump (who by the time this decision is made will likely be a declared POTUS candidate) should be prosecuted, I hope if he is they have the sense to prosecute him in FL or some such and not in a 90% Democratic jurisdiction like DC or NYC.

Your hero is standing along side with Russia again.
Former President Donald Trump sounds like he wants WNBA player Brittney Griner to stay in a Russian prison. During a podcast appearance on the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, the former president voiced his opposition to the U.S. government’s reported offer to swap Griner and U.S. Marine Paul Whelan for Viktor Bout, a convicted Russian arms trafficker.
On the show, Trump maligned Griner as “a potentially spoiled person” who went to Russia “loaded up with drugs,” which is an exaggeration of her cannabis arrest.
Since the 2016 campaign, when numerous Trump associates had ties to the Russian government, the former president has broadcast his soft spot for Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin. As recently as this year, Trump has praised Putin, calling his invasion of Ukraine “genius.”
The Slow Motion Coup is still underway 👌.

The ideal of justice is a blindfolded woman poised and still and holding slowly balancing scales. At the Department of Justice over the last several years, the practice of justice is more like an inflatable flailing tube man.
In the lead-up to the 2016 election, everyone thought that department prosecutors would decide whether to charge Hillary Clinton based on whether she knowingly violated a criminal statute prohibiting mishandling of classified material. It turned out that then-FBI Director James Comey would decide on the basis of what he thought was “reasonable.” After letting Clinton off, the tube man flailed right and Comey, breaking procedure against commenting on a pending investigation, announced that the Clinton probe was back on.
From then, the Justice Department only got worse. Comey told the country that one reason not to charge Clinton was that the department had never before charged someone for conduct similar to hers. Yet after Comey, the department went on to spend years investigating the then-sitting President not only for conduct never before charged but for crimes no one even knew were crimes -- like bad tweeting. A dusty old law chiefly prohibiting cheating the federal government out of money would be stapled to President Trump’s tweets and taped to an obstruction-of-justice charge and then the President was going to be marched off to prison for conspiracy to steal an election -- or so the department led the country’s credulous Left to believe for years.
Gone are the days of Comey’s somewhat evenhanded blundering. The flailing man’s hands are now in an unmistakable search for the necks of its political opponents. Consider the unruly Capitol protest following the 2020 election. For the protesters, the department has dusted off the charge of “seditious conspiracy.”
The coup continues national wide.
Top election official races feature deniers of 2020 results
By BOB CHRISTIE
4 mins ago
PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona lawmaker endorsed by former President Donald Trump who attended the Jan. 6, 2021, rally that preceded the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol and another lawmaker who also believes the 2020 presidential election results should be overturned are among four Republicans vying for the top elections post in the presidential battleground.
It's a trend seen in several Republican primaries this year that has led to mixed results for those who peddle conspiracy theories and promote the falsehood that widespread fraud led to Trump's defeat. Tuesday's primary elections feature similar candidates in Kansas and Washington state.
In Kansas, voters will choose between a challenger who questions the 2020 presidential results and the incumbent Republican who believes the election was secure in his state. Washington state's open primary also has a candidate who backs Trump's unsupported claims, although that's not the toughest challenge the Democratic incumbent faces.
So far this year, Republican primary voters have split on whether to put election skeptics on the November ballot.
In June, Nevada voters selected former state lawmaker Jim Marchant, who has been repeating the false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, to face the Democrat in an open race for secretary of state. But in Colorado, GOP voters rejected a local election clerk who has been appearing with Trump allies promoting conspiracies about voting machines and instead chose a Republican who vowed to keep politics out of elections.

The lying cheating worthless goat fucking trump slurper stealing others worked without attribution....what.a sorry sack of trump crap he is!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
He uses fear to motivate his followers.
Trump is telling his supporters that he is all that stands between them and those who want to inflict great pain and grave harm on them.
hate: Trump used his speech to portray his opponents as not just misguided but wicked and therefore suitable objects of hate. America’s 45th president said, “Despite great outside dangers, our biggest threat in this country remains the sick, sinister, and evil people from within.” And this: “We’re standing up against some of the most menacing forces and entrenched interests and vicious opponents our people have ever seen or confronted.” He described Democratic Representative Adam Schiff as “a sick, evil, very bad human being.” The January 6 committee, he said, is made up of “hacks and thugs.” He then made this move: “But no matter how big or powerful the corrupt radicals that we’re fighting against may be, no matter how menacing they appear, we must never forget this nation does not belong to them. This nation belongs to you, the American people.”
And unfortunately Scott stands with him, despite putting his Korean wife in danger by calling it the Chinese virus.

Bye you all .
REPUBLICANS GET BURNED — Last week, Senate Republicans blocked the passage of the PACT Act, which would expand health care access to veterans exposed to burn pits. John Stewart destroyed them
Now, Schumer expects to bring the bill back to the floor this week.
They oppose the pact act not for the veterans benefits, but for the other $400B in spending on shitty build back broke agenda items. If it was so important to dems, let them break it out. It'll pass bipartisan.
Bolton Says Trump Followers Are Risking ‘Political Suicide’
August 1, 2022 at 9:13 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 39 Comments
Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton warned Republican primary candidates that they are “risking political suicide” if they align themselves too closely with the former president, the HuffPost reports.
Said Bolton: “Trump’s fixation on himself and the 2020 election are poisonous to independent and undecided voters.”
Biden Set to Deliver on Decades-Long Promise

“Democrats have been campaigning for 30 years on promises they’d let Medicare directly negotiate the cost of prescription drugs — and after all that time, they might finally be about to achieve it,” Axios reports.
“The Senate’s reconciliation bill would only open up negotiations for a small number of drugs, but even that is a threshold Democrats have never before been able to cross. And it opens the door to more aggressive policies in the future.”
Ex-Kremlin Adviser Is Hospitalized In Europe

“Anatoly Chubais, who resigned as a top Kremlin adviser shortly after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, was hospitalized on Sunday in a western European country in critical condition with the symptoms of a rare neurological disorder,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Chubais had suddenly grown numb in his hands and legs, his wife, Avodtya Smirnova, told the Russian journalist Ksenia Sobchak.”

We admire our dissenting politicians.
They poison theirs.
If they get it done ✔️ and then they might change the election in November.
Democrats have been campaigning for 30 years on promises they'd let Medicare directly negotiate the cost of prescription drugs — and after all that time, they might finally be about to achieve it.
Why it matters: The Senate's reconciliation bill would only open up negotiations for a small number of drugs, but even that is a threshold Democrats have never before been able to cross. And it opens the door to more aggressive policies in the future.
Flashback: Then-president Bill Clinton proposed direct negotiations between drug companies and the federal government in 1993.

Five thirty eight and the Cook report says the Democrats might change the outcome even in the House.
In 2020 Trump signed four executive orders to lower prescription drug prices. Too bad Biden reversed them.

Oh well...if wapo says something about Trump it must be true. They'd never fake a story about him.

The former is a joke.
“Joe Biden’s second bout of Covid, sometimes referred to as the China Virus, was sadly misdiagnosed by his doctors. He instead has Dementia, but is happily recovering well. Joe is thinking of moving, part time, to one of those beautiful Wisconsin Nursing Homes, where almost 100% of the residents miraculously, and for the first time in history, had the strength and energy to vote even if those votes were cast illegally. Get well soon, Joe!”

The Biden administration has claimed credit for easing the backlog of cargo ships at Los Angeles and Long Beach, but the problem merely shifted east, and the cargo jam is now at record levels if East Coast ports are included."

He is sometimes good for laughs, tho.l
Madam Buttigeg has failed Americans.
"In January and February, when North American congestion previously peaked, there were just under 150 container vessels waiting off the coastlines. Two-thirds were in the Los Angeles/Long Beach queue.
As of Thursday morning, there were 153, the majority off East and Gulf Coast ports"
Biden’s Plan Does Not Raise Taxes on the Middle Class

Jonathan Chait:
“Over the weekend, a congressional tax committee analyzed a portion of the tax Inflation Reduction Act Senator Joe Manchin struck with Senator Chuck Schumer and President Biden.
"Republicans inaccurately claimed the report shows the plan would increase taxes on the middle class.
“The plan in fact raises taxes only on corporations with an income over $1 billion. It does not raise taxes on individual taxpayers at all.”
Sorry about that, Cali, but you wanted comment.
"More Americans are embracing frugality as they face rising prices at every turn.
With energy costs up 41.6% and groceries 12.2% more expensive than they were last year, according to June’s Consumer Price Index, many families say that skipping vacations and restaurant meals is no longer enough. They are now finding ways to cut costs on essentials. "
Americans understand The Biden Recession.
Even when the recession denier don't.
Just read the abstract on page 2 stupid
