I see… I see… A toilet, fast food wrappers, and classified documents nearby. Oh, yeah… An incredible unmistakable smell of butt. Yuck!

Sorry, I got nothing.

I guess it’s time to call in the butt sniffing dogs.

emotionally stunted people. They quit "growing" in fourth grade.

This is why we're so sick of them. At least adults get a break while the kids are in school. These idiots are on a perpetual playground where they think there is no accountability.

... their behaviors range from third grade to junior high. "If you can do it (albeit with legal standing), then I can do it, too, BECAUSE"! From the halls of Congress to the AG of Missouri/Ashcroft threatening to take Biden off the ballot there.

Just two of the most recent examples, from graphic to grade schoolish.

I get much of my news from Thom Hartmann and he has a theory that foreign governments have the capability of doing the swatting phone calls and making it look like the call was local. Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, could have called in this bomb threat.

Do not dismiss this as being far fetched seeing as dictators world wide will do everything in their power to get Trump elected.

We ain't seen nothing yet regarding election interference.

wish. AT&T has been under fire for years because of this. This is the same method that call centers use to have your caller ID display a 1-800 number as the calling party. A 1-800 number is incoming to the business. It can not originate a phone call.

This needs to stop and have Caller ID display a unique number associated with the line that is making the call.

Like in Michigan. There are two repuke presidents. Two offices. Oh and they can't lock their original office because they don't have the $$ to pay the rent.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/bomb-threat-targeted-home-judge-trumps-civil-fraud-trial-rcna133416

...The threat came hours before closing arguments in the trial were scheduled to begin, with those arguments expected to proceed.

A Nassau County bomb squad was called to Engoron’s home and was investigating Thursday morning; it is unclear whether Engoron was home at the time.

On Wednesday, there was a tense email exchange between Engoron and Trump attorney Chris Kise over whether Trump could speak at closing arguments. Engoron ultimately denied the request.

There was a delay in processing reporters and lawyers through security lines into the courthouse where closing arguments are taking place because off the alleged bomb threat.

Outside the courthouse, protestors chanted behind a banner that said, “No dictators in the USA."...

“You are not allowing President Trump, who has been wrongfully demeaned and belittled by an out of control, politically motivated Attorney General, to speak about things that must be spoken about,” Trump attorney Chris Kise wrote in an email to Engoron.

Engoron replied, “Take it or leave it. Now or never,” and gave Kise seven minutes to agree to his terms. Kise did not respond, prompting Engoron to say Trump won’t testify....

in court, i pray she orders a psyche eval. he clearly does not know right from wrong, he cant stop inciting violence, and he cant participate in his defense w/o setting it on fire.
and he will clearly fail it spectacularly. esp if they dry up his drugs 1st.

Trump is fully aware of right and wrong. He just doesn't care. HE'S A SOCIOPATH! Sociopaths are INDIFFERENT about moral issues. He doesn't and shouldn't be considered someone who "doesn't know the difference." He's a criminal thinker, has a criminal personality, and deserves an imprisoned criminal life.
