Re: Dan Rather, a decades-long, outspoken opponent of Djt:

"A few people have asked why I vehemently oppose Trump," Rather wrote on X. "Let me make this perfectly clear. It's not about politics. I've voted for both parties.
It's about me, as a patriot, rejecting a cheating, lying, racist, treasonous, fascist, and vile man who attacks the free press, and wants to lead the country I love," he added. "It's really that simple."

'In a panel discussion focusing on online extremism back in 2019, Rather denounced Trump for overwhelming Americans with his constant barrage of ranting social media posts — prior to being banned on Twitter in 2021. Rather described Trump's online presence as "unrelenting," highlighting the exhaustion it brings to the general public.'

Eclipses and Earthquakes and Floods, Oh My......

Geologic and astronomical events such as these that are beyond our control should remind us humans that we must try to interconnect as best we can and realize that we must do everything possible to preserve our earth and to respect, accept and help each other so we could live as best we can together as long as we have this earth below, that sun and moon above and those oceans around us.

Jack Smith takes a wrecking ball to Aileen Cannon's proposed jury instructions:

The filing... tore apart Cannon's proposed instructions in which jurors are asked to consider whether the top-secret documents taken by former President Donald Trump could be seen as his own personal property and not official government records.

Smith came out firing in the first page and informed Cannon that her proposed "legal premise is wrong, and a jury instruction... that reflects that promise would distort the trial" of the former president.

Trump's entire effort to rely on the PRA is not based on any facts," wrote Smith. "It is a post hoc justification that was concocted more than a year after he left the White House, and his invocation in this court of the PRA is not grounded in any decision he actually made during his presidency to designate as personal any of the records charge in the superseding indictment.

About Time to Revoke djt's bail!

Andrew Weissmann (weissmann11 on Threads)🌻
@AWeissmann_
BREAKING: Trump is out on bail in 4 criminal cases. He posted a photo of the president bound, gagged, and shot. Threatening a president is a federal crime and also a violation of bail release conditions. Time for courts to act.

In all seriousness, under existing law it’s unclear whether posting on Truth Social a picture of POTUS tied up and shot in the head in a moving truck under the present circumstances amounts to a true threat under Sec. 871,” he said. “But no question it warrants an FBI visit and a warning.”

Suggestion for 2024 Democratic campaign ad:

Two adjacent photos:
-One of djT with thumbs up in front of the maga truck picture of President Biden tied, bound and gagged with a bullet hole on his forehead.
-The other of djT hawking bibles on TS

The title: PORTRAIT OF A HATEFUL, NARCISSISTIC HYPOCRITE

For those who can view Scripps News, there's a special report on now

(as of 11:30 am EST) about the 'transformation' and 'Trumpization' of what was once known as the Republican party. The effects of djt's court decisions are addressed.

Many panelists and commenters were once part of djt's administration (Barr, Bolton, Cheney, et al).

How many, besides me, are not surprised that djt's appearance at

a slain cop's wake...
was an unsubtly racist publicity stunt: The cop was White and the killer is Black. Although any murder is horrific...
When did djT ever display 'sympathy' toward cops who were slain or assaulted by his Jan. 6th attackers? Or non- White victim's, such as Floyd, of White police brutality?
Hypocrisy galore.

State of GA Atty. Don Wakeford is brilliant and convincing...

in his argument countering djt's defence attys' 'free speech' argument. Mr. Wakeford focuses on the widespread illegal intent and consequences of djt's speech.

Judge imposes gag order on Trump in hush money case:

No matter how many times DJt squeezes out of convictions, payments and legal accountability...

...a tsunami of votes for his Democratic opponent in the 2024 general election will assure that he doesn't squeeze his reeking body back into the White House for another 4 years.
