DePutin is now claiming Alvin Bragg is "Soros funded," a slur with anti-Semitic connotations, like Soros is pulling his strings. Well, it is true that Color of Change PAC, which received some funding from Soros, donated to Bragg ... but that is kind of a stretch.

He also made a carefully sly dig at Trump in the same speech, but basically pledged not to get involved. BTW, despite what Freeperville may want, no, as governor, he can't prevent Trump from being extradited to NYC from Florida if he committed a crime.

It's gonna be a weird primary campaign. Trump slamming deSantis, deSantis mimicking the things his MAGA base wants to hear, him playing a careful kabuki dance to not be seen as too hostile to the lord of MAGA. Well, I've got popcorn.

The jury expects to vote Wednesday, sources said.

I have a feeling this is a lot bigger than just hush money payments.

Talk about abuse of power.

A Trump indictment would be a disgusting abuse of power. The DA should be put in jail.

Go figure this is on The GOP they do this every time.

Bomb threat disrupts NY court where Trump case is being heard

A bomb threat was called into a lower Manhattan court on Tuesday just before a judge was set to hear a $250 million lawsuit against former President Trump.

The threat was investigated by police and the courthouse was closed and searched, with authorities finding that the threat was unfounded, according to court spokesman Lucian Chalfen, who confirmed the news to Bloomberg.

Probably is and probably has democratic party donors involved. Which is why it appears as if Trump is going to be charged with a very minimum crime.

Especially considering all he has been accused of in the press. Not being charged for paying off the hooker. Being charged because his method was illegal.

He will on all likelihood be found guilty. Then we will see years of appeals. After which he will either win his appeal or pay a fine.

It seems as if the democratic party is attempting to appease the base by charging him with something. It reminds me of when the gop impeached Clinton. Done so just to appease the base.

For all the crime he has probably committed in his life this charge should make him sigh in relief.

Pretending this is the only crime he will ever be charged with. Sad.

This just broke

NEW: Howell ruled that the DoJ showed sufficient evidence that trump INTENTIONALLY CONCEALED the existence of additional classified documents from Corcoran, and ordered Corcoran to hand over HANDWRITTEN NOTES, INVOICES, AND TRANSCRIPTS OF RECORDINGS.

Evidence that Trump intentionally misled his own lawyers in response to the subpoena for classified documents is MUCH more powerful than evidence he and his lawyers acted in concert. Excellent news.

Putting traitor in jail solves one problem, about 70 million remain, aka repubs.

If you support the GOP at this point you are the DEFINITION of a traitor.

Come on now. We have to be open minded about sedition, violent attacks on the Capital, a party lead by an authoritarian crime boss, and a party that supports hate laws against women, the gay community and minorities.

Yep, they are all great patriots that deserve pardons once the Great God Trump regains the Presidency, right? They didn't do anything wrong!

That's what the Speaker of the House says. They should all be released immediately.

Reagan, good God, don't even ask. No one who grew up in the entertainment business can take him seriously. He was a self-serving B-movie actor who knew how to adapt his performance skills to other parts of the culture, and a union buster besides.

Admittedly he gave the performance of his life in the White House, really an Oscar winner, but they don't give Oscars for Best Achievement In Presidential Brainwashing. We have CPAC for that. Frankly, I prefer the motion picture academy.

Actually prior to WWII he was definitely on the ascent as an actor. After the war is when he became cemeted as a B actor.

If not for WWII he probably would have been on par with people like Glen Ford. Sort of on the fringe of A status.
Imo his worst movie was the one where he played a cavalry soldier but used an English saddle and posted. Wtf were they thinking

His career after the war is the stuff of Hollywood gossip, and most of it is true. He left a trail of slime. You name the sleaze, he was in it somewhere.

I'm not going to go into details, but trust me, there's enough verified guaranteed truthful information to make a book. The problem is that no one would dare to publish it. Also, there's a personal thing. I don't challenge American icons since the creation of same is an irrational process. Getting ostracized with no benefit from it is not acceptable. Been there, done that.

-------

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that Ronzo actually joined the reserves sometime before the war came, and he was then activated. I could be confused, not having looked it up in a long time, but I think he was in some kind of clerical job before he was assigned to the Culver City Commandos to rally the home front. His credit in all those rah-rah War Information Board movies was "Lt. Ronald Reagan," and I believe he had in fact attained that rank. After the war, he was the biggest Red-baiter in This Town, to the point where he met Nancy when she went to him trying to get off the Hollywood Blacklist (a case of mistaken identity -- Nancy was not a Commie).

There's a lot more, but I won't go into detail. Been there, got the scars, done that.
