I wouldn't trust that lying sack water moccasins as far as I could throw him. He's actually responsible for stealing a SCOTUS seat for the Orange Shitstain. Proof will be in the pudding.

A detailed, objective, fact-based assessment.

Putin's Patsy & Disgraced Former General Flynn Back in Court

"A federal appeals court in Washington will take a second look at a judge’s effort to scrutinize the Justice Department’s decision to drop its case against President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn.


The full U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit agreed Thursday to revisit U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan’s plan to examine the politically charged matter, reviving the unusual case testing the limits of the judiciary’s power to check the executive branch."

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...?ocid=msedgdhp

Looks like Mikey 'Lock Her Up' Kelly isn't actually "exonerated", afterall.

Hopefully the full court will reset the applecart that T'Rump and Billy 'Low' Barr turned over.

This POS grifter is actually a twice convicted felon who richly deserves some time in the 'Graybar Hotel' aka Federal prison.

Obama rages about Orange Shitstain inflaming ‘nativist, racist, sexist’ fears

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/oba...-fears-report/

Quote:
“It’s just glued to Fox News and Breitbart and Limbaugh and just this conservative echo chamber — and so, they’re going to turn out to vote,” said Obama. “What he has unleashed and what he continues to try to tap into is the fears and anger and resentment of people who, in some cases, really are having a tough time and have seen their prospects, or communities where they left, declining. And Trump tries to tap into that and redirect in nativist, racist, sexist ways.”
We see that nativist, racist fear play out right here on these pages every day by the Trumpkin fools.

@StephenKing

Let me see if I can do it. It's hard, I'm not at Trump's genius level, but I'll try. Here we go:
Person...woman...man...camera...Biden for President!
How'd I do?

Orange Shitstain's tweet about delaying the election is just the beginning of a much more dangerous plan
'We can't simply assume that Trump is as dumb as he seems… this is a setup for something else,' one legal expert told me. A Florida-based Republican told me his colleagues are now prepared 'to do anything' to keep Trump in power

https://www.independent.co.uk/voices...-a9646786.html

Quote:
“He must know — or even though he's personally very ignorant, his lawyers must know — that three US code chapter one, which sets the date for the election, can be changed only by Congress,” said Harvard Emeritus Professor Laurence Tribe, author of the seminal law school text on the constitution, American Constitutional Law.

Tribe posited that because only Congress can change the date of the election, Trump is positioning himself to blame the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives and Speaker Nancy Pelosi for making it impossible to pass any sort of measure to carry out his demand, and to pressure Republican-controlled state legislatures to nullify the results should he lose in states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or Michigan.

“Once he blames the House, then I think it's his plan… to try to get a red state like Pennsylvania to invoke three USC section two, [which allows state legisatures to appoint electors directly] and claim that the election failed because of fraudulent mail-in ballots, and therefore the state legislature should name its own slate, rather than rely on the results of the popular election,” he said. “That's really what we have to be prepared for. We can't simply assume that the guy [Trump] is as dumb as he seems… this is a setup for something else.”

While Raskin stressed that the President appears to be focusing on many electoral “choke points” in his push to preemptively cast doubt on a losing result, he concurred with his former law professor’s assessment that Trump looks to be angling for GOP-controlled state legislatures “in swing states where the popular vote has clearly moved in a Democratic direction like Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina, [and] Pennsylvania” to step in to save him from an embarrassing defeat.

“What they would like to do is to use Republican control over legislative bodies to prevent the appointment of electors for the winner in the popular vote, so the trick will be to create these little electoral Reichstag fires, which they can use to claim election fraud in some trumped up way,” he added.

I don't think that's as much as his plan but the ones in the GOP pulling the strings. They are well aware of his desire to stay in office and out of jail. All they had to do was whisper in Donny's ear that is the path to staying in office. There appear to be two groups, one that believes skullduggery will in fact be involved and another that thinks that these efforts are so fantastic that they doubt they will happen.

Federalist Society Co-founder: Orange Shitstain's tweet floating election delay is grounds for impeachment

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/30/polit...ing/index.html

Quote:
The co-founder of the conservative Federalist Society said Thursday in a blistering New York Times op-ed that President Donald Trump's tweet musing about a delay to November's presidential election is grounds for impeachment.

Steven Calabresi, a Northwestern University law professor who has offered broad defenses of the President in recent years, wrote, "I am frankly appalled by the president's recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election. Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats' assertion that President Trump is a fascist."

"But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president's immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate," he said.

It's a significant break from the co-founder of one of the most influential groups in Republican politics. The Federalist Society has emerged as a leading conservative and libertarian voice in recent years, urging a limited role for judges in society's problems.
The Federalist Society is responsible for getting a drunken frat boy rapist on SCOTUS, among many other despicable acts.

An aside to our resident fascists: He, of course, sent his op-ed to this country's paper of record, the NYT, not to some disgusting farce of a conservative "news" source like Breitfart or wherever you clowns get your "news".
