The Hall of Fire

I have no doubt that the recent New York, Times swing state polls are reasonably accurate and show that President Biden is trailing and has a lot of work to do (although they were slightly better for him among "likely" voters than among registered voters). And there were some bad swing sta...

President Biden today announced new or increased tariffs on Chinese electric cars, "solar cells, batteries, battery materials, cranes used at ports, and certain medical supplies, as well as steel and aluminum". It's the kind of move that tends to appeal in swing states, but is this good or...

Would it be illegal for someone who had never communicated with Hunter Biden and acting of their own volition to mail a postcard to every home in Delaware which says that Hunter Biden was only charged after Congressional Republicans got their supporters to make threats against prosecutors in order t...

Donald Trump's two weeks are up . Donald Trump was interviewed by Time and gave alarming answers on several topics, including abortion rights. On that subject: 1. He won't rule out a national abortion ban (which many Republicans promise to pass if they control Congress). 2.a. He says he has a "...

I can't remember seeing this particular footage before:



It was because of incidents like this that the Capitol police in some cases did let the rioters pass unobstructed: they were outnumbered!

Michael Cohen today confirmed David Pecker's earlier testimony that he, Cohen, told Pecker that Pecker would face no trouble from the Federal Election Commision because then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions would take care of that. Cohen added that that assurance came from then-President Donald Trump.

Today Michael Cohen testified today that in February 2018, with Donald Trump's approval, he provided New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman with a deliberately deceptive statement about the payments made to Stormy Daniels. Prosecutors showed a text from Cohen to Haberman reading, "Big boss jus...

Michael Cohen's direct examination by prosecutors having concluded, it's time for cross-examination by Donald Trump's team: [ Tweet from Erica Orden: "Blanche opens his cross-examination by asking Cohen..."[/url]] Erica Orden says that question was then stricken from the record. But it ap...

This is still happening: https://twitter.com/eorden/status/1790458274308899224 I've been very reluctant to make much of the "Donald Trump is in decline" narrative, because while I think he has some undisclosed health issues, they were never enough to keep people from supporting him, but f...

Michael Cohen's direct examination by prosecutors having concluded, it's time for cross-examination by Donald Trump's team:



Erica Orden says that question was then stricken from the record. But it appears their goal is to rattle Cohen.

I completely forgot this prescient testimony from Michael Cohen in 2019:

Or it might not be that hard to prove after all?

Donald Trump seems to be using members of Congress to violate the gag order in this case. He's been joined in court by various senators and representatives, who then go outside the courtroom to attack the credibility of the witnesses. I think it's reasonable to assume -- but hard to prove -- that he...

Imprison these men:

The Republican legislature in Louisiana is working on a bill that would designate the abortion drug mifepristone as a "dangerous controlled substance."

Allison Gill was in the courthouse today (in the media room) and twice reported that Donald Trump appeared to be asleep. I see that Republican Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, who was in the court as Trump's guest today, addressed such reports not by denying that Trump was asleep but by saying that the whol...

All fair points, but why does this guy apparently think it was more disruptive for Joe Biden to speak in 2024 than for Donald Trump to speak in 2017?

Oh! It's because now he has a job thanks to Biden that he didn't have when Trump visited.

And there were some bad swing state polls for President Biden from the New York Times . Donald Trump currently leads Biden by 0.3% nationally. However, Democrats have nearly six months to turn things around and get voters to move past their stupidity. And they are at least making plans : Democrats h...

In July 2017, six months into Donald Trump's presidency, he traveled to Racine, in southeast Wisconsin, to announce that the technology company FoxConn would be opening a huge new plant there that would employ some 13,000 people. The state and federal government spent $500 million preparing the site...

A headline at AL.com , the collective website for three Alabama newspapers, the Birmingham News , Huntsville Times , and Mobile Press-Register : "Trump said he wouldn't be 'on the market' long if Melania left him over Stormy Daniels, Cohen testified." How will that land with Donald Trump's...
