Ex-Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb details his prediction for the outcome of the historic Trump hush money criminal trial before the jury begins their deliberations.

Jenna Ellis, a Colorado native and former lawyer for then-President Donald Trump in 2020, will not be allowed to practice law in Colorado for at least three years under an agreement approved Tuesday by the Colorado Supreme Court. Ellis, who is from Longmont, had faced the possibility of total disbarment after pleading guilty in October to a felony in Georgia related to efforts to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss there.

Nothing like using a column by Nooners heaping praise on a book published back in 1900 as an excuse for some hippie punching on the topic of patriotism by the hacks on Fox on Memorial Day. I wish I was kidding, but that was one of the discussions on this Monday's Outnumbered. Noonan's op-ed, which was published last Thursday was titled "Teach Your Children to Love America," with the subtitle, "For Memorial Day, I’m taking inspiration from the New York schools’ 1900 ‘Manual of Patriotism.’" Here's how Noonan described the book in her article: "I’ve spent the past few days reading an old book, one that couldn’t possibly be published today because it’s so full of respect for America." Yes, I'm so sure that "respect" is the only reason it wouldn't be published now Peggers. Kayleigh McEnany started things off reading from a portion of Noonan's column: Parents, teach your children to love America, either as an extension of your own love or as a simple kindness to them. We live in an age—I’ll say this part quickly as we all know it—in which children are instructed in 100 different ways through 100 different portals that America is and always was a dark and scheming place, that its history is the history of pushing people around, often in an amoral quest for wealth but also because we aren’t very nice.

My favorite "Thanks, Biden" blame game from Republicans used to be inflation. That's right, according to the right, Sleepy Joe, who they say has dementia, is responsible for global inflation. That sneaky POTUS! Well, that was then. And now my favorite 'blame it on Joe Biden' rant goes to Newsmax's Chris Plante, who claims that Biden is "very much in decline in every imaginable way," and because the President's favorite ice cream is chocolate chip, it's his fault that it's not one of the top five ice creams being sold, Media Matters reports. "(President) Joseph Robinette Biden, much like his favorite flavor of ice cream, is very much in decline - very much in decline in every imaginable way," Plante said.

Robert De Niro shouted down a Trump supporter who unconscionably called the Capitol police liars, after they defended against treasonous Trump supporters who tried to overthrow the federal government on January 6th. De Niro's speech was accurate and powerful, and when the award-winning actor turned back to thank the two Capitol officers who defended the US Constitution against insurrectionists, a MAGAt jumped in. "They lied under oath," either a right-wing reporter or Trump supporter yelled at De Niro. "They lied under oath," De Niro said sarcastically.

On Tuesday morning, Robert De Niro joined former J6 Officers Harry Dunn and Michael Fanone at the Trump hush money/election interference case courthouse on behalf of the Biden re-election campaign. Ha. More like this, please. De Niro held a press conference to express his disgust about the cowardly clown who says he wants to destroy US democracy and turn this country into his dictatorship. Taking a page from diminished Donald, the Academy Award-winning actor listed many of Trump's heinous actions throughout his lie-filled life -- to warn the American people what would happen if he wins this election. ROBERT DENIRO: That Donald Trump is just across the street because he doesn't belong in my city. I don't know where he belongs, but he surely doesn't belong here.
