New York prosecutors trying to convict Donald Trump for falsifying business records face a formidable challenge: They have to convince a jury to trust the word of a convicted perjurer.
The credibility of Michal Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, dominated the fifth week of the former President’s trial. Cohen’s testimony lies at the heart of the charges that Trump allegedly directed a scheme to hide hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election and lied on business forms to conceal campaign finance violations.
There's a contractor at the end of my street who raised various Trump flags during the Cheeto's reign of incompetence. When Biden was elected, he raised one of the classics: "Fuck Biden And Anyone Who Voted For Him." Since the flag flyer is known to be a tad paranoid, no one said anything -- but most neighbors went out of their way not to patronize his business.

If Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas had any shame or scruples, he would have resigned already as a result of the corruption reported on by ProPublica. That’s not counting his refusal to recuse himself from cases that his coup-plotting wife has stuck her nose into. Nor the dark money she has received to promote causes he rules on.

Attention space nerds!
Donald Trump brain went into system overload yet again while on stage a few days ago; he slurred, made up nonsensical words and sounded like his cerebral cortex was shutting down. The man AIN'T WELL.
Trump shouldn't be speaking in public, much less running to be leader of the free world (though, should he win, it'd be leader of the kinda, sometimes free world at best, totalitarian America at worst).
“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell opened a new front in his battle to shape the Trump-era GOP this week when he torched Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and called out Republicans who have sought to boost the far-right strongman,” Punchbowl News reports.
“Fresh off his victory on Ukraine aid, McConnell is making clear he isn’t finished trying to blunt what he sees as a dangerous foreign policy doctrine taking hold in the Republican Party under Donald Trump.”
