John Kelly, a Former White House Chief of Staff, Confirms Trump’s Disparaging of Veterans In a statement to CNN, Mr. Kelly corroborated reporting from 2020 that he declined to confirm at the time despite pressure from friends and associates to do so.

John Kelly, a former White House chief of staff, corroborated on Monday reporting from 2020 of Donald Trump’s disparaging comments about service members and veterans. He told CNN that ​​Trump had "contempt for our democratic institutions."

That’s too bad. I find threads the easiest alt site to navigate.

It’s a civil case.

He probably hasn’t paid her.

Yes, of course.

The supreme court’s terse disposition of Eastman’s petition for a writ of certiorari, noting that Thomas took no part in “the consideration or decision of this petition.”

Justice Thomas apparently decided he needed to recuse himself from consideration of John Eastman’s appeal of the rulings that opened his emails to the January 6th Committee. Eastman’s bid to have the case heard by the Supreme Court failed this morning.

In Ny, it isn’t just a checkbox. You also have to file a jury demand and pay a small fee.

Has Bluesky gotten the Always Reblog Tom Holland's Umbrella process underway yet?

It was an answer today's movie-laden Sunday NYT crossword puzzle. Neither here nor there, just FWIW and not for nuthin'.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) fist bumps House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) before addressing reporters after the House passed a 45-day temporary continuing resolution to keep funding for the government shy of the Saturday midnight deadline. (Tom Brenner for The Washington Post)

Hard to think of a better example of the Republican mindset than Steve Scalise denouncing masks as "political theater" at the height of the pandemic and then wearing one behind closed doors when he's personally vulnerable from cancer treatment.

Many times. And then the fire department comes. And if you’ve stayed at your desk, they give you a citation and fine you. It was a bonehead move. His excuse is lame.

What bullshit press narrative? Stress made him make a mistake of pulling a fire alarm? Come on. It's a crime / misdemeanor in DC. If anything's "pathetic" it's his ridiculous explanation. No, I don't think he should be expelled (he's my congressman), but he could certainly be fined.

Sorry, but if he mistook a fire alarm for a door opening mechanism he didn't know what he was doing. And, as a middle school principal, he certainly should have.

"I activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking it would open the door."

Please. This is as lame as it gets. Pretty sure he's been in plenty of schools and other public buildings with fire alarms & knows how they work.

(He's my congressman, so it gives me no pleasure to say that.)

Sounds like he's saying he mistakenly took the fire alarm for a door opening mechanism.

Kinda lame, really.

Need a series along the lines of Endeavour, Grantchester, Broadchurch. Suggestions?

I am embarrassed about and for my congressman this afternoon.

Not a good move. And "it was an accident" is not a good excuse.

Dear journalists and TV pundits: Stop calling it an “unavoidable shut-down.” It’s totally avoidable.

"Very simply, if you do a coup, you can fully expect to be tried in multiple jurisdictions. TRIED!"

And the plea parade begin...

Scott McAfee's Zoom Hearing

First Trump codefendant pleads GUILTY in Georgia RICO case: bail bondsman Scott Hall was allegedly involved in Coffee County election-data breach.

Watch the plea hearing here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj86...

As long as his ability to tweet, post, X, appear or call into TV/radio/cable, do interviews, hold rallies, press conferences, etc. or ever run for any office whatsoever is curtailed -- probably the equivalent of a death sentence in his eyes -- I'm good.

After black sky dumps 9,000 tons of water, closing streets, roadways, businesses, etc., sun is now out. Bizarrely.

It is worth considering what form "jail" will take for him. I mean, unlikely he's going to Leavenworth or a Georgia state pen with his SS detail one cell over. Maybe they'll stick him in a MAL bathroom with an anklet bracelet, unable to move because the place is clogged with banker's boxes.

It is painfully funny that Trump apparently crimed so hard and in such a variety of unique ways that he has created a non-zero chance that we might actually break the unspoken US political norm of “of course we don’t make American presidents pay for their crimes & lol we’d never sent one to jail”

Someone who works for and supports Trump really should know what the dumbest dipshit on earth looks like. Mirror, mirror, Danny boy.

Trump Lawsuit Against Judge in Fraud Case Rejected by Appeals Court Former President Donald J. Trump had accused Justice Arthur F. Engoron of ignoring an earlier decision that could have barred evidence from the case.

An appeals court rejected Donald Trump’s attempt to delay his civil fraud trial in New York, allowing it to begin as soon as Monday.

Michael Cohen's book turns out to be aptly named.
