kentuck's Journal"Election interference" or "sedition"?
Which seems nearest the real crime that was committed?
I may be biased but it seems closer to sedition to me.
It was more than "election interference". About 20 years more?
Will the Supreme Court be inclined to rule differently on Trump if he loses?
Or will they still want their rules to apply to a Democratic President?
Will they feel the need to clarify their immunity ruling?
If he wins, they would likely leave everything as it is and Trump could rule as a dictator.
I cannot wait until this election is over. We have endured this insanity for 9 years and it time for it to end.
Republican's Hot Mess
Yeah, Trump told his mob on January 6 to march "peacefully and patriotically" down to the Capitol. He only said it one time. Because he wanted to make sure they made it down to the Capitol without being distracted. But, after they got to the Capitol, he wanted to meet them there. He wanted to join the mob inside our Capitol.
He also told them that there were good people and bad people at the Capitol and that if they did not fight like hell, they would not have a country anymore. He advised them to be good to those that supported him but they did not have to be so good to the others.
Republicans have leaned on the "peacefully and patriotically" phrase as their only defense on that day. When really, it is no defense at all. Because, every other word and phrase mentioned by Trump on that day was meant to incite violence and to disrupt the Congressional proceedings. They know that.
But no one on the Republican side has ever clarified it.
This is all you get for Christmas.
Yes, the Judge has released more details on the criminal acts of Donald Trump, but don't expect any more gifts before the election.
We are entering another long period of statements, requests, and appeals before there can be any resolution. There will be no trial anytime soon.
Justice Alito is probably already preparing his defense of Trump for when it arrives at the Supreme Court. After all, Mr Trump was still the "President" when these alleged crimes happen and by definition, he was immune from all these charges, he will say. We do not know what nonsense the Supreme Court will come up with to defend the criminal this time around?
Although we may get a dab of new information before the election, do not expect anything new in your stocking for Christmas. This is going to drag on and on and on....
FOX News and right-wing propaganda must be reported as part of the conspiracy...
As we know, FOX News has already had to pay out almost a billion dollars for lying for Donald Trump. They learned nothing.
They continue to be part of the conspiracy to destroy our democracy. Their exclusion of facts and their outright lies to their viewers continue to divide and incite violence against our government and our people.
They are not honest brokers. They are partners with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in their effort to destroy our democracy. They choose very carefully the propaganda they spill out to their unsuspecting victims.
Up to this point, most news and media organizations have not given FOX and their right-wing partners the blame they deserve for the threats against our country and our institutions. They continue to report on the convicted felon as if he were some sort of white knight that has come to save America.
But they have not come to save us - they have come to bury us.
Trump signals his strategy: "I did nothing wrong. They did."
"I didn't rig the election. They rigged the election", he said.
This is what Candidate Trump said after Judge Chutkan released yesterday new details on his alleged crimes.
Trump continues to insist that the election was rigged and that he won the election of 2020. In his remarks, he is preparing his supporters and followers for what lies ahead.
"They" were wrong. "They" rigged the election against him and his supporters. From what we have learned about Donald Trump, this is his first step in setting up his followers for the violence to come.
He cannot defend himself in a court of law.
We wanted an attack dog....
But Tim Walz is not an attack dog.
He is a moderate and pragmatic Democrat that appeals to the middle of America.
That is why his approval ratings went up so dramatically after the debate. He appealed to many moderate Republicans and Independents with his debate performance.
It was not what we wished for, but it is what Kamala needed to seal her victory, in my opinion.
In my opinion, "undecided" voters, at this stage of the campaign, have no idea what the facts might be. They are looking for "something else" in their candidates. Whatever it is, Governor Tim Walz seems to have it.
No matter how well they may think JD Vance did in the debate...
Kamala still kicked Donald's butt in their debate.
Nothing changes that.
And that is the most important point to remember after tonight's debate.
The unemployment rate when Obama left office was 4.7% and trending downward.
So, Donald Trump inherited a very good economy from Barack Obama when he took the White House in 2016. With a $2 trillion dollar tax cut, mostly for the wealthy, he was able to drive the unemployment rate even lower.
However, going into his final year of office, the COVID pandemic hit the country. And Donald Trump did not handle it well. He divided the nation, instead of uniting it.
And when he left office, he had a negative job growth. The stock market had lost a lot of its growth. Millions had lost their jobs and millions more were working from their homes.
Donald Trump was not able to sustain the good economy that he inherited from Obama.

Full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
That was my impression of JD Vance. A slick talker but said very little.
It seemed to me that his orders going into the debate was to mention "Kamala Harris" one hundred times and blame everything on her. That is what Donald wanted. He may not have reached that goal but he came damn close.
Although it started rather slow, and Governor Walz looked a little shell-shocked, it did not take him long to get in his groove. On closer examination, Governor Walz won by just being himself, in my opinion.
In the end, JD Vance could not say that Donald Trump lost the election. He blamed it on "censorship" by Kamala Harris. He said it was a "peaceful transfer of power". It was not.
That was likely the turning point of the debate.
