applegrove's JournalWasn't John Edwards investigated and tried
for campaign finance schinanigans regarding a mistress? Why are these people so upset. I mean Michael Cohen spent time in prison for the same crimes. What did they think was going to happen? They are being treated like sheep. They are being manipulated by yapping at their ankles by the GOP dogs to be outraged. So far I see just the leadership yapping with emotive outrage at trump's obvious and gold plated innocence being questioned by lady justice. I don't see the people bleating yet. Be forwarned. Yappers are different than the sheep.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) told Newsmax says he’s going to push for Donald Trump to “aggressively go after” Joe Biden and his entire family after Trump wins in November.

Applegrove:
Trump has already gone after Biden and Hunter. This is just making an example out of families who go into politics and against Trump. It is to keep good people out of politics. It is to cow politicians who have currently no say in who is prosecuted for crimes into interfering to stop investigations against Trump. Trump and the GOP obviously have more crimes planned.
Are Republicans and right wing nuts afraid
of people making it into the middle class because then gerrymandering will not be so easy if neighborhood's are a culturally mixed dynamic and harmonious? Because they work well? Because people will get along and gerymandering will not be so effective when everything is not all black and white, and people who are black and white not in different neighbourhoods?

Just 36 hours before closing arguments in his “hush money” criminal trial, Donald Trump tested his gag order by suggesting that the jury is being tampered with.

Applegrove:
Note: Trump actually complained the jury was not sequestered for the 5 days.
3 weeks since the jury is not being tampered with because Trump finally followed the gag order on pain of jail and he says they need to be sequestered. It seems that if your reality is not being tampered with by Trump it is unfair and a crime.

Cause wearing a mask to protect the health of your community is equivalent to being kidnapped, whipped, forced to do hard labour your whole life, had your children stolen from you and never had a nickle in your hands your whole life.

“Donald Trump is getting clear advice from a sizable number of Hill Republicans, even some MAGA loyalists: Pick a running mate who can attract more wary GOP voters on the center-right,” Politico reports.
“Some of them even want him to consider a rival he’s publicly ruled out, Nikki Haley — who recently revealed she’d be voting for him. And if Haley can’t make an improbable comeback, many Republican lawmakers want to see Trump pick one of two other former opponents with the same outside-of-MAGA allure: Sens. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) or Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).”

The Conservative Partnership Institute has become a breeding ground for the next generation of Trump loyalists and an incubator for policies he might pursue. Its fast growth is raising questions.

In the lobby of the grand Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Fla., where a sprawling new force in Washington’s right-wing ecosystem, the Conservative Partnership Institute, was holding its winter conference, the former Trump legal adviser Cleta Mitchell was exultant.
“Did you hear the ‘War Room’ today? Bannon was on fire!” she said to a friend. She was referring to the podcast hosted by Stephen K. Bannon, the former Trump White House senior adviser who had been condemning Republican senators for supporting billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine and Israel earlier that day.
Ms. Mitchell was among some 150 conservative donors and activists who gathered in Coral Gables earlier this month to celebrate the ascendancy of a group that has become a well-paying sinecure for Trump allies and an incubator for the policies the former president could pursue if elected. The participants toted gift bags in the warm sunshine and swapped golf clothes for business attire at a dinner where they applauded as two Black speakers — Ben Carson, the former secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and Representative Byron Donalds of Florida — extolled conservative values while condemning the racial identity politics of the left.
The group’s top executive, Jim DeMint, the former U.S. senator from South Carolina, was there, as was Mark Meadows, President Donald J. Trump’s former chief of staff, who is paid $847,000 annually as the organization’s senior adviser. More than a dozen members of the House Freedom Caucus also turned up, as did Mollie Hemingway, the editor in chief of the right-wing journalism website The Federalist, whose parent company C.P.I. helps underwrite.

Netanyahu to address Congress, House Speaker Mike Johnson says

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address a joint session of Congress.
It is unclear when the address will take place. Johnson told reporters Wednesday that he was working with Netanyahu on a date and would be sending the formal invitation this week.
“Tonight, I’m happy to announce something else to you: that we will soon be hosting Prime Minister Netanyahu at the Capitol for a joint session of Congress,” Johnson said in a speech marking Israel’s independence, hosted by the Israeli Embassy.
“This will be a timely and, I think, a very strong show of support to the Israeli government in their time of greatest need,” he added.

Two months max until arrest warrants will be issued.
Trump should be asked if he will invite Putin, another one under investigation or target of arrest ordet for genocide, to speak at a joint session of Congress if he were President again. They are bosom friends, apparently. Americans need to know.
Stop it with all the Sophie's Choices (none compare with the choice the character Sophie had to make in the book but they are sophie's choices nonetheless).
