"But as the NYT’s Adam Liptak noted: “It was not clear, however, why Mr. Trump would make a call to check references, a task generally left to lower-level aides.”

Leave it to the fecking NYT to frame the "perfect phone call" in such an incredulous manner...I mean, WTF, "It was not clear..."?

Bloody hell, mate, it was "clear" to millions of us what tRump's motive was here...jaysus!

I’m so old that I remember when norms were declared dead way back in, what, December 2024, give or take a month.

But really old is remembering back to when the Roberts court first started pulling crap ca 2013. They’ve only gotten worse since.

In a normal world, SCOTUS would laugh Trump out of court is a vis the NYS sentencing. But at this point, nah, I’m not going to guess.

But what I’m calling is that in the near future, if we haven’t doped it out already, the size of the Chickenshit Club will shock and amaze. We’ll also be learning who our true allies are who’ve just been lying that they are…

The unSupremes have clearly established themselves as enablers of Orangina.

They are helping bring on the death of our Democratic Republic.

Such Orwellian daily news, where to begin?

"As the NYT’s Adam Liptak noted: “It was not clear, however, why Mr. Trump would make a call to check references, a task generally left to lower-level aides.” M-kay, we're supposed to believe any of this? It's ALITO.

Also, I struggle with the strained normalcy of daily reports. Aileen Cannon is a farce. NC is stealing an election in plain sight. Today, seeing Obama and Trump chatting amiably at Carter's funeral made my skin crawl (though I do understand Obama is likely fostering any shred of relationship for potential influence if need be). This guy literally tried to overthrow our democracy - and threatens to do so regularly. I'm just done with the polite niceties that are still observed in the face of this monstrosity.

It's going to be a very long 4 years.

I hope Trump passes before me. I am tired of his childish talk and bullying actions. His eulogy will never compare with Jimmy Carter's ! NO ONE WILL SHOW UP! What a disgrace to the USA that he was elected-a FELON to BOOT. LOOSE your liquor license you fool.

IMO, we are seeing "further abuses" today & plans for "shock & awe" & more abuses being planned per reporter, Gloria Ainsley, whose sources have revealed the greater DC area will be targeted. That's includes Northern Virginia, Maryland & other nearby locales.

Industries & specific work forces targets have not been finalized per Ainsley

We have watched time after time since 2016 where Trump gets a pass. His devoted loyal followers who desecrate the Capitol and who lie to support Trump's wild false accusations get convicted and sentenced but he walks free. SCOTUS gives him immunity when we know he will abuse it. How can this not bother the MAGA followers????

Per DOJ in the last 48 hours there has been another conviction specifically,

NATHANIEL A. TUCK, who was originally named in a multi-defendant & multi-count case back in 2021,.

See, 1:21-cr-378. for the criminal history. The 2025 court sentencing facts nailing Tuck have not been posted yet.

LOL about the Rio Treaty. Does anyone really think that someone who would consider military action action to annex Panama and Greenland or cconomic war against Canada, would care one whit about an old treaty? C'mon man!
