Re: Trump Indicted for Conspiring to Overturn the 2020 Election
Busy news day. Rolling Stone reports on how Trump's defense team expects to lose when the Supreme Court eventually rules on his claims of immunity (which hears oral arguments tomorrow) but still feels that they've won by sheer delay: "we already pulled off the heist." And while that has be...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Michael Cohen announced today that he won't be posting or saying anything further about Donald Trump publicly until after his testimony.
I think he should wait until after verdict.

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
The H1N1 bird flu outbreak that has infected cattle in eight U.S. states (plus cats and one human) has revealed some policy flaws: the USDA requires bird flu to be reported when it infects fowl but not when it infects other animals. And in general, there needs to be more coordination between the UDS...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Yes, but after a couple weeks in which Biden seemed to be slowly improving, today is rough for him. Besides the polls mentioned above, Pew has Donald Trump leading President Biden nationally 49%-48%, and Quinnipiac, which Biden led in each of the past three months, now has him tied with Trump. In th...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Is "the staff" going to testify? I haven't looked at the full list of prosecution witnesses, but the most important Enquirer staffer (besides the owner, David Pecker) involved in the pro-Trump "catch and kill" scheme is the tabloid's former editor, David Howard, who lives in Aus...

One of the stories about Donald Trump for which David Pecker and the National Enquirer engaged in a "catch and kill" is widely understood to be false. Late in 2015, the Enquirer paid $30,000 to Dino Sajudin, a doorman at one of Trump's buildings, for the exclusive rights to a rumor that he...
