The 'court Of Public Opinion' Isn't Going For Trump

I did not know that Brett Kavanaugh —the Virgin Mayor of Keg City— was literate (H/T Auntie Maime) as Axios reports: Justice Brett Kavanaugh is working on a legal memoir at a time when the Supreme Court is being increasingly scrutinized amid falling public trust. These clowns just cannot give it a rest; they all want to tell their stories of martyrdom. I wonder what the advance was, and who is paying to have his tell-all told (Axios says it was sold to Regnery, but when Regnery was “sold to Skyhorse Publishing in December, the project moved to the Center Street imprint at Hachette Book Group.” (Hatchette is one of the 5 largest publishers and there’s so many imprints, it’s impossible to figure out who is in charge of this deal.

For most candidates, giving a campaign speech with the Confederate Flag as your backdrop on one day, managing to piss off State Sheriffs on another, and having your lawyer lose his license to practice law would be considered a bit of a setback.

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones started the process of liquidating his assets on Friday, taking the initial steps toward paying the $1.5 billion he owes families of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting. Jones runs the popular Infowars media platform, where he repeatedly described the shooting, which killed 20 first-grade students and six teachers, as a “hoax.” Families of victims filed defamation suits against Jones and Infowars, and while Jones eventually conceded in court that the shooting was real, it was too late to save him from legal action.

In the wake of recent reporting by ProPublica and others that Clarence Thomas amended an earlier financial disclosure to include even more gifts from Texas billionaire Harlan Crow, Fox "news" wants us to believe everything Thomas did was on the up and up. Here's America Reports anchor John Roberts and his guest Kerri Kupec Urbahn (their same legal "expert" that was just attacking the First Lady for attending Hunter's trial earlier this week), pretending that Crow didn't benefit from all the money he's been lavishing on Thomas: ROBERTS: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has made public his first annual financial disclosure report since facing a flurry of ethics attacks.

Florida Republican Byron Donalds continued to claim Black families were better off in the Jim Crow era than after President Lyndon Johnson passed historic legislation to give them equal protection and rights under the laws of the U. S. Constitution. Donalds joined Fox News to be interviewed by Bill Hemmer. Donalds is either ignorant of history or lying.

On Fox News, uber Trump fanatic Pete Hegseth filling in for shitstain Jesse Watters pretended that a troll on Facebook could actually have been the cousin of a juror and claimed to know the verdict before it was handed down. Not surprising, the Fox News host intentionally failed to mention the letter that the judge sent to both the defense and prosecutors made clear it was a phony.
