Day 932 – What Do They Like?

Tuesday, August 8, 2023

Charges in three cases against Trump are up to 68 or 70 some odd counts. He has started attacking the judge, the special counsel, potential witnesses and co-conspirators. His lawyers in the Jan 6th case filed just before the 5pm deadline asking to be allowed to let Trump reveal names and addresses of witnesses so his supporters could go harass them. The special counsel responded within hours saying they didn’t want him trying the case in public as it would, among other thing “taint the jury pool.” 

Okay, the Trump lawyers didn’t put it as I have stated it, but that would be the result of their ask.

As to trying the case in public, Jack Smith’s team pointed out that one of Trump’s lawyers went on five talk shows this weekend spouting nonsense. I mean, it sounds good to a non-lawyer – for a few seconds, but then a real expert comes on and points out the idiocy of what is being said. Like, “a technical violation of the Constitution” is a violation of the Constitution, but that is not what Trump is being charged with. He is being charged with violating the law, not the Constitution.

More charges are probably going to drop late this week or early next in Georgia and these should be doozies. I’m hearing racketeering and up to twelve co-conspirators, among them Lindsey Graham.

Also the pyramid scheme is set for trial on January 29th. That’s the case where Trump was pushing a video phone that he claimed could make you a millionaire if you got in on the ground floor and got others to sell too. Somehow a video phone that only worked with the same brand of video phone didn’t sell. I mean if you’re Apple and have millions out there – okay, but otherwise, no.

And then there are the states fake electors, five of the seven states have brought charges against the fake electors. They are looking at serious jail time. Jack Smith is reportedly looking into the schemes as well, but his interest seems to be the people planning, coordinating, and directing the overall plot. Hum, who could that be? Rudy? John Eastman? Steven Miller? and and wait one other, oh yeah the Orange One.

Donnie is in more than a one legged ass kicking contest. He needs to become a Hindu and grow some extra legs.

And then in a (Not) class move he attacked the women’s soccer team. Accused them of being woke and that’s why they lost. Then he took a dig at Megan Rapinoe. What a turd, he is.

One of the former Republicans asked the question, “What do these current crop of Republicans like about America?” It seems hard to find anything they are positive about.

Today, the people in Ohio vote on a single issue – should the percentage to make changes to their state constitution move from 50% to 60%. This is an attempt to make the fall ballot initiative to enshrine access to abortion part of the constitution harder to pass. Recent polling had it at 58%. 

In the six times states have had this question voted on access to abortion it has always passed by big margins. Yet, Republican lawmakers and their enablers keep pushing these very restrictive measures. They know if it comes to a public referendum they will lose. Why do they keep embracing it? It seems they, like the dog, have bit the tire and can’t let go. Thump. Thump Thump.

The gun lobbies and their Republican enablers. are busy trying to block states from banning the advertising of AR-15s to kids. I’ve mention the JR15, the Junior AR15, made especially for children. Some governors think children should not have lethal military grade (okay near military grade?) weapons that fire real bullets. Jeez, how are you going to settle playground disputes without such things?

I wonder if the makers of these weapons have given then to their kids?

What are we going to do when some three year old is brought up on charges of murdering his family or half his kindergarten class?

Meanwhile, climate change. Apparently there’s a dome of hot air that is sitting over most of the country trapping more hot air and it’s getting worse. There’s a lot of scholarship that is coming to the forefront right now about the Mayans. They cut down their forests, paved their plazas and temples with stucco, which made things hotter and they kept doing it. It seems they knew it was causing less rain and then drought, but they kept doing it. It seems we are no smarter, nor able to act.

Ron DeSantis is running for President, touting what he did in Florida as what he will do for the whole country. Wow. Malaria, Leprosy, and quack doctors in charge of public health (or no one.) Attacks on minorities and businesses claiming “too woke,” and spending millions to trick people into bus and jet trips to the north to be dumped without warning somewhere. This is the kind of accomplishment and leadership he is promising.

You know, it’s like the folks attacking Biden. It’s either his family or his accomplishments. However, they never get to the point of actually specifying anything, because it they did they find he’s done a great job and there is no crime or nepotism like there is with the former president.
