Ugh, totally wasted open house. Lookee-loo City. I'm so glad this was our last one before we leave. The rest will be after, and the house will be vacant.
Sigh.
So, with that, I'll perk myself up (and hopefully you) with another dopey #CountdownToCanada gif.
Worth emphasizing this, because most news outlets did not:
“Rep. Matt #Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Thursday ominously invoked Donald #Trump’s call to far-right violent extremists while joining the former president at his criminal trial in New York.
“Standing back and standing by, Mr. President,” Gaetz wrote on social media, along with a photo of himself positioned behind Trump at his trial.”
Arizona’s attorney general says Rudy #Giuliani has been served an indictment in the state’s fake elector case alongside 17 other defendants for his role in an attempt to overturn #Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
@Lightfighter Um, Biden isn't the one authorized to do that. The Board has to. Yesterday on @ThomHartmann show, Ro Khanna said he'd speak to Schumer and try to push him to get things rolling. He's as frustrated as we are. @Fenix
Media coverage of Republicans stampeding to NYC to attack Trump's trial as illegit is marred by euphemism. This isn't just "currying favor" w Trump or "expressing loyalty" or auditioning to be his VP. It's placing Trump over rule of law
Rs are attacking judge, witnesses, prosecutors & trial as illegitimate. This isn't just helping Trump evade the gag order. The point is also to display in spectacle form that their fealty is to him over the rules that make the system function
Justice #Alito says his wife Martha-Ann Alito had an altercation with neighbors about a "'Fuck Trump' sign that was within 50 feet of where children await the school bus in Jan 21."
Except... FCPS and ACPS were all remote in January of 2021. No children were waiting for buses
🙄 Former Donald Trump lawyer John #Eastman pleaded not guilty in Phoenix on Friday on charges related to allegedly participating in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results in #Arizona.
It's official: #SouthDakota officials have certified a proposed amendment that would enshrine #abortion access in the state's constitution to appear on the November ballot.
New: Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin is calling on Alito to recuse himself from all cases involving the 2020 election.
"The Court is in an ethical crisis of its own making, and Justice Alito and the rest of the Court should be doing everything in their power to regain public trust."
Lauren Boebert's exact seat in the front row has been replaced by Trump lawyer Alina Habba.
How poetic.
Klasfeld:
Cohen previously testified that he knew he wasn't qualified for a White House chief of staff position, but he wanted to be considered for it because of his "ego."
Blanche suggests this wasn't true. Cohen insists that it was.
After a sidebar, Blanche changes tack: Do you remember questions about your desire to work in the WH? And telling Congress that it was a lie that you did not want to go to the WH?
