I guess at least this court action will still go ahead, regardless of who the government is; ie, if the Republicans win the House in the midterms (and I really hope they don't), they'll shut down the January 6 commission.

A wee bit off topic sorry, but close enough I thought and doesn't really warrant its own thread. One from the 80s

Auto-correct is why I have crust issues.

The Washington Post - Opinion: Five vile things Trump did to Zelensky and Ukraine that you forgot about

today

With the Russian invasion of Ukraine getting more horrific, Donald Trump and his allies are frantically erasing the truth about Trump’s relations with Ukraine.

Trump absurdly claims that as president, he stood strong behind Ukraine and NATO, while his spinners comically downplay his corrupt and deeply malevolent betrayal of our ally. ...

Five things Trump did with regard to Zelensky and Ukraine:

[headings only]

1. Spread propaganda about Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election

2. Ousted the well-regarded U.S. ambassador to Ukraine

3. Froze military assistance to Ukraine

4. Withheld a White House meeting from Zelensky

5. Turned Ukraine policy over to Giuliani

Putin Starting to Worry About His Strategy After Trump Calls Him Smart

MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)—Vladimir Putin has become “deeply worried” about his strategy after learning that Donald J. Trump called him smart, Kremlin sources have revealed.

After Trump praised Putin Saturday night at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, the Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, reluctantly shared a video of the disturbing moment with the Russian President.

“As Putin watched Trump call him smart, all the blood drained from his face,” a source said. “He was clearly shaken.”

After watching the video of Trump, Putin spent a sleepless night in consultation with Russian military and intelligence officials to determine where and how he had gone wrong.

“He’s rethinking everything now, and he’s in a very fragile state of mind,” the source said. “If it comes out that Don, Jr., or Eric thinks he’s smart, it could break him.”

Meanwhile, Donald J. Trump doubled down on his support for the Russian President, offering Putin advice on declaring Russia bankrupt.

"Joya, born in London to a Muslim Bangladeshi family, became radicalized at age 17 after the September 11 terror attacks. In 2004, she married an American Muslim convert named John Georgelas, who went by Yahya al-Bahrumi. Georgelas took her and their three children to Syria against her will in 2013. "

Because this would go really well with his voters...

The thing that makes the Republicans notable isn't their family values, its their hypocrisy.

In fact it's often the case that the louder someone feels the need to shout about their family values, the less likely they are to exhibit any.

The Guardian - It’s time to confront the Trump-Putin network

02 March 2022

A stunning number of Trump’s closest associates had deep ties to the Kremlin. The significance of this cannot be overstated.

In 2014, the Putin regime invaded Ukraine’s Crimea. In 2016, the same regime invaded the United States. ...

The US "interference" - you could call it cyberwarfare, or informational invasion - took many forms.

Stunningly, a number of left-wing news sources and pundits devoted themselves to calling those who were hostile to the Putin regime cold-war red-scare right-wingers, as if contemporary Russia was a glorious socialist republic rather than a country ruled by a dictatorial ex-KGB agent with a record of murdering journalists, imprisoning dissenters, embezzling tens of billions and leading a global neofascist white supremacist revival.

In discrediting the news stories and attacking critics of the Russian government, they provided crucial cover for Trump. ...

My bold. A very fine turn of phrase. 😡

Trump’s border wall breached by smugglers over 3,000 times, records reveal | US-Mexico border | The Guardian

Smugglers have breached the Trump administration’s border wall along the US-Mexico frontier more than 3,000 times, government maintenance records obtained by the Washington Post reveal.

Nearly 500 miles of barrier was constructed by the Trump administration beginning in 2019, mostly in rural New Mexico and Arizona. Former president Trump touted the “big, beautiful wall” as the “Rolls-Royce” of barriers, but smugglers have breached the wall at least 3,272 times, mostly with common power tools found at hardware stores.

Oh no! Anyway.

Annie Howell Sentenced to 60 Days in Jail for Jan. 6 (lawandcrime.com)

A Pennsylvania woman convicted of breaching a “sensitive space” of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 told a sentencing judge on Wednesday that people close to former President Donald Trump “promised” her a White House job. Instead, she received a jail sentence that she fears could lose her custody of her kid.

Annie Howell, 31, recorded at least five videos that day, including one of her in a ransacked conference room in what prosecutors described as a “sensitive space” inside the Capitol building. According to prosecutors, she can be heard leading a chant of “Whose house? Our house!” She also recorded multiple videos of law enforcement being attacked by the violent mob of Donald Trump supporters who stormed the building in an effort to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden‘s win in the 2020 presidential election.

At her sentencing hearing Wednesday, Howell said that she had been told by GOP officials that she would be rewarded for her dedication to keeping Trump in office.

“I feel betrayed by the former president,” she said during the hearing. “I was promised things by people that were close to him, such as a job in the White House.”

Well, prison is kind of a reward, isn't it? For committing a crime, that is.

God, imagine having a Mum like that. I'd be embarrassed.

I wonder who in the Republican Party told her she would have a job afterwards? I bet that person has gone into hiding.

No word on what "Trump advisor" promised her a job.

I'd guess she's probably already started writing a book about it.

Plenty of time in prison for that.

The Washington Post - The 5-Minute Fix

today

The Jan. 6 committee, which is looking into how the attack on the Capitol happened, just made a big announcement about Donald Trump: Members think there’s evidence that he and key allies committed crimes while trying to overturn the election.

“The Select Committee … has a good-faith basis for concluding that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States,” it wrote.

This is not an indictment - Congress doesn’t have that power - and it doesn’t even mean the Justice Department - which does have that power - will prosecute Trump. ...

What is Trump accused of?

Obstruction of an official proceeding: The allegation that Trump tried to “obstruct, influence or impede” the counting of electoral college ballots - and did so “corruptly or by threats of force.” ...

Conspiracy to defraud the United States: The allegation that Trump made false statements about the 2020 election (such as falsely claiming that he won it) and thus attempted to “interfere or obstruct legitimate Government activity” with “deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest.” ...

EDIT

The NY Times - Panel Suggests Trump Knew He Lost the Election, Eyeing Criminal Case

At the core of the theory of a possible criminal case against former President Donald J. Trump is the argument that he knew he had lost the election and sought to overturn it anyway.
