Who is that stupid ass jack wagon, Lee Zeldin? I had never heard of him until this AM on Fox.

I was channel surfing from MSNBC/CNN (ch 53 & ch 51) up to the weather channel (ch 62) when
I hit the Fox Propaganda network (ch 55)

Lee Zeldin, "Socialist Biden administration is in support of Hamas." (very rough quote)

*******

ATTN Mr. Zeldin this is Trump selling out an Israeli agent who was inside of ISIS in Syria to the Russians in
the Oval Office in the winter of 2017.

I thought this had to be an internet "thing" Trump Lawyer Sports Gamer Laptop At $250 Million Fraud

Trump Lawyer Sports Gamer Laptop At $250 Million Fraud Trial [Update: She Says It Belonged To The Court]
Alina Habba's Asus ROG glowed blue after she opened it in court

And then she blamed the court.

Today is the first day of former president Donald Trump’s $250 million fraud trial in New York. A case brought by the state’s attorney general accuses the Republican primary frontrunner of lying about his net worth by billions of dollars to try to secure more favorable loan terms. One of his attorneys, Alina Habba, showed up with what appears to be an Asus ROG gaming laptop. Its RGB logo changed colors during the hearing.

The laptop in question looks like it could be the ROG Strix G17 G712 model. Originally released in 2021, it sports a 17-inch screen, an RTX 2070 Super GPU, 2.3 GHz Intel i7, 16GB of DDR4 memory, and of course, an RGB keyboard and light bar with Asus’ Aura Sync. It currently sells for about $1,700.

Habba did not immediately respond to a request for comment about what the exact model of the laptop was, how often she games on it, or if Trump has ever watched her play on it.

Please remember that in 2016 Scalise knew about Putin paying Trump and Jordan took part in the ....

... 1/6/21 Coup

https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/paul-ryan-keeps-it-family-kevin-mccarthy-russia-trump

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy said, according to Entous, a superb reporter who heard a tape recording of the colloquy. “Swear to God.”

In the Post piece, McCarthy’s remark is met with laughter, and Ryan cautions his colleagues, “This is an off the record . . . No leaks! . . . All right?”

And then, amid more laughter, Ryan says, “This is how we know we’re a real family here.”

“That’s how you know that we’re tight,” Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip, says.

“What’s said in the family stays in the family,” Ryan concludes.

Jordan seems not to remember about if he talked w/Trump on 1/6/21

These are un-American Treason Weasels .... and they want to be in House Leadership?

Never ever forget that Kevin McCarthy knew that Putin was paying Trump in 2016 (along w/Ryan, Scalis

.... and McConnell [he was told by US Intel]) and kept the subject hidden or when approached by the
Washington Post just said he was "just joking.


“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy said, according to Entous, a superb reporter who heard a tape recording of the colloquy. “Swear to God.”

Dana Rohrabacher is a Republican from California with a peculiar amalgam of views: pro-marijuana, dubious about climate change, pro-torture. For this last position, in 2007, Keith Olbermann awarded him his periodic “Worst Person in the World” award, on his old MSNBC show. Like Trump, Rohrabacher has been highly solicitous of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Last year, Politico ran an article on Rohrabacher called “Putin’s Favorite Congressman.”

Matt Gaetz is only not in prison now for underage sex trafficking and paying off the woman in

.... question with drugs and money (gotten from) hotel's ATMs because the DoJ dropped the charges
because the 2 witnesses who the Feds needed to give testimony would have been very weak on the
stand. One was the underage girl (who still might love him) and the other was "his partner" with a
long history crime & fraud. According to Glenn Kirschner even though the DoJ made the right move
in dropping the charges it still sucks.

First on CNN: DOJ officially decides not to charge Matt Gaetz in sex-trafficking probe

John Fetterman can wear whatever he wants ..... he has earned it



He and his wife moved to a very run down mill town in W. PA, Braddock, PA to take on as tough
a job as you can think of and that was to help, feed, build needed infrastructure, provide a sense
of home and community to that town. And they did just that. Yes, lots of work is still needed but
they got a really good start. They are good people.



BTW I know western PA and these towns.

October is a month of change and this month will be awesome

For all the times we have suffered through Trump's bullshit, crimes, and just being an un-elected
shit who loved to rub knowing that we know he was elected via Russia and that he is a con man in our
faces because he enjoyed being a prick to make us feel bad. Well, much of that crap is going to be over
this month. I look forward to see him publicly broken. He is an awful person. My electrician has told
me about friends he has had in "the trades" that Trump ruined by just not paying his bills.

Starting Tomorrow:

N.Y. A.G. Tish James is going to financially break Trump w/a 1/4 billion $ penalty
She is going to close every single of his businesses in NY State
She has Don, Don Jr, Eric, and Ivanka slated to give public testimony as per their
businesses fraud.
She is going to pass on all evidence of the Trump organizations tax crimes and real
crimes on to the IRS and who ever else.

This Week:

Fani Willis (She don't play) is going to start rolling up Trump's RICO war on the voters of
Georgia, she already has flipped several of "the players" to testify against both Trump and
Meadows. Funny, looking at a mandatory 5 years in prison on a racketeering charges clears
one's mind.


This doesn't not cover Jack Smith or Manhattan's A.G. Alvin Bragg's 40 odd documented felony
charges against Trump either.




Enjoy and sorry to
