At some point soon Democrats are going to have to go all in on $CROTUS expansion/contraction or acquiesce to the loss of 150 years of progress.

TIL: McConnell can make joke. I think.

As for Merchan’s gag order: I’d bet it’s coming soon but its prospect is to be held over Sleepy Don’s head. IIRC, Neal Kaytal had an idea along the lines of deferring a decision til the end of the trial and then how bad he’s been.

Trump’s not going obey a gag order, he’s not going to jail over it, and no fine can be large enough to matter.

But there’s a benefit nonetheless, maybe. Arguably, all his rants might make a conviction likelier to survive appeal; if the argument is improper bias of the jury, such bias would have been incited by the defendant’s wholly voluntary acts.

Whatever; time will tell.

I don't quite understand if Todd Blanche is trying to kill his career off his own bat, or doing it in the service of the Orange Gobshite. Whatever, he's lost the judge, he can't control tRump, and only a few days into this trial he's up Shit Creek without a paddle...bad look, Todd.

himself, or is absent, from

SCOTUS tomorrow.

MSM has become tabloid

media.

Threatening voters is precisely what she is doing. I know in the state of NC no one is allowed to touch the ballots in a polling place except for the election workers and the voters and any helper they might have. Poll watchers do not touch ballots.

Gee, Mr. Blanche why do you always look dyspeptic? Why are your features permanently set to “pissed off”? Perhaps it’s because of the company you keep- the “client” YOU chose to shill for?? The BS you’re trying to peddle as a result… 🤷🏻‍♀️
