Trump to Sell the Economy During State of the Union Address

Everything must go

Under Biden the United States became the first country to face an attempted coup and not only fail to punish the coup plotters but allow them to hold office and make laws. Let that sink in.

Terror In The White House Epstein investigations are coming in the back door

“At some point a critical mass will be reached — perhaps when new, damning information surfaces in testimonies. Everyone in the White House knows this. Trump knows it.”

Tomorrow, I'll be talking with Emily Nemens about her new novel CLUTCH, available now wherever books are sold from Tin House.

So important for people to understand… no one is immune from the effects of platforms, and that goes double for places where there is such an obvious thumb on the scales.

Even if it fails at trial, impeachment completely derails the schedule of the Senate and costs weeks of floor time in almost all cases.

It also requires the regime to spend large amounts of hours otherwise dedicated to fascism strategizing and defending themselves.

Upon review of the unopposed Motions, and consistent with the Court’s authority to enforce its own orders and control the dissemination of discovery materials generated in this case, the Court agrees with the parties’ uniform view. Release of Volume II outside the Department of Justice would plainly offend the Court’s Dismissal Order [ECF No. 672] and the Rule 16 Protective Order [ECF No. 27], both of which remain in force; it would cause irreparable damage to former defendants from disclosure of non-public discovery material implicating still-contested grand jury and privilege concerns; and it would contravene basic notions of fairness and justice in the process, where no adjudication of guilt has been reached following initiation of criminal charges. The Court reasons as follows.

NEW: Judge Aileen Cannon permanently forbids the Department of Justice from releasing Volume II of Jack Smith's report on his prosecution of Trump. Also bars DOJ from sharing "any information or conclusions" from the volume. A sweeping, perpetual gag order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So the former President of South Korea has been sentenced to life in prison for insurrection, a former prince of England has been arrested for Epstein ties, but in the US Trump is freely blabbering and shitposting because he's protected by John Roberts and the Republican Party?

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy
