Saw this on FB a few minutes ago, can't find a link to any story on any of the news sites confirming it (yet) so not sure how accurate this is:

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think it is. There is a hearing on the 22nd (the quickest it can be scheduled under the usual rules) after which the judge can accept or reject it. Not sure what happens after that - I guess ordinarily it would be a case of tough luck and the judgement is carried out while the appeal process goes on. But this is Trump, so who knows.

Looks like Russia still has plenty of useful idiots in the US:

 

 

House intelligence chair says Republicans are ‘absolutely’ repeating Russian propaganda.

 

 

Mike Turner, the chairperson of the US House intelligence committee, says some of his fellow Republicans are “absolutely” repeating Russian propaganda on the chamber floor, echoing a similar claim made recently by another rightwing American lawmaker.

 

 

“It is absolutely true we see, directly coming from Russia, attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” the Ohio congressman told CNN’s State of the Union show.

 

 

Most of the rest of the Retrumplicans then would be useless idiots.

This may have been posted already. Various outlets are quoting it verbatim.

By the way, this company was the one who offered to pay $454 million, which Trump lawyers

 

     

  1. illegally failed to disclose to the court
  2. instead lying by saying it was impossible
  3. begging for $175 Million Bond

 


Daily Beast: Trump’s $175 Million Bond Is Even Shadier Than It Look

The little-known insurance company that rescued Donald Trump by providing a last-minute $175 million bank fraud bond isn’t just unlicensed in New York; it hasn’t even been vetted by a voluntary state entity that would verify it meets minimum “eligibility standards” to prove financial stability.

Perhaps even more troubling, the legal document from Knight Specialty Insurance Company doesn’t actually promise it will pay the money if the former president loses his $464 million bank fraud case on appeal. Instead, it says Trump will pay, negating the whole point of an insurance company guarantee, according to three legal and bond experts who reviewed the contract for The Daily Beast.

I'm just old enough to remember when it was the Republicans who said, "go to Russia if you hate it here so much!"

USA Today: The total solar eclipse failed to bring about the end times. I'm disappointed.
...
Like most Americans, I was banking on the solar eclipse ushering in the end times and saving me from the unbearable horrors of a presidential election year and the general absurdity of human existence.
...
What the heck? I was promised a descent into eternal darkness and an end to the ceaseless anguish of American life. Why could I still see my laptop and a headline that read: “Trump revives his wish that immigrants came from rich White countries.”

THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS COUNTING ON THE ECLIPSE TO ERADICATE!!!

Washington Post: Trump revives his wish that immigrants came from rich White countries
...
The New York Times reports that, according to an attendee at Trump’s fundraiser Saturday night, Trump made similar comments about immigrants once again — explicitly referencing the 2018 controversy.

Immigrants arriving today “are people coming in from prisons and jails. They’re coming in from just unbelievable places and countries, countries that are a disaster,” he said, according to the attendee. He then tried to explain his comments six years ago.

“When I said, you know, Why can’t we allow people to come in from nice countries, I’m trying to be nice,” Trump said, according to the Times. “Nice countries, you know like Denmark, Switzerland? Do we have any people coming in from Denmark? How about Switzerland? How about Norway?”

Why would anyone from Norway or Denmark want to move to an unbelievable place, a country that's a disaster, like the US?

Probably just the ones who deeply stan Trump's worldview. And speaking of moving to a "trad paradise"...

neb: Why would anyone from Norway

 

UK did themselves a real dis service rushing to get those sea borders in place thinking the carbon fuels must be in their zone, of which some was found. but nothing like Norway, who is not only filling in for Rus for its Gas, its oil and refined goods have made them super wealthy and its all put in a public trust fund mostly across the SNP500 I believe. Not only this, they are 85% energy self sufficient via the hydro dams, yet they investing big in green energy, wind turbines, believed to soon be exporting energy. It really seems awfully lucky given only 75 years ago they were relatively live off the sea folk. Not that NZ doesnt have resources, sighhh.

anyway back to the mar-a-lago documents case, where are we at now? So Cannon didnt get bounced? She only got told what she and Trump had entertained had Zero to do with the actual criminal case?

I thought she had been bounced. Doesnt that trial start on May 7th? 

Trump is about to get awfully busy by the looks and no campaigning.....
