With any luck, Trump will be on trial by then and maybe even under a gag order, but that will not stop him from funneling his bile through intermediaries, and he has a lot of those.

J.D. Vance Wildly Suggests Biden Is Trying To 'Kill A Bunch Of MAGA Voters'


Ohio Senate candidate claims Biden is giving drug traffickers at the border a pass so they can wipe out right-wing voters. "

Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance has leveled a bizarre new accusation against Joe Biden, suggesting that the president is trying to “kill” MAGA voters with fentanyl sold by drug traffickers.

“If you wanted to kill a bunch of MAGA voters in the middle of the heartland, how better than to target them and their kids with this deadly fentanyl?” the controversial candidate pressed in an interview Friday with Jim Hoft, founder of the far-right news site Gateway Pundit.

The venture capitalist and “Hillbilly Elegy” author, who was endorsed earlier this month by Donald Trump, did not explain how Biden could accomplish such a horrifying aim. But he implied that drug traffickers crossing into the U.S. from Mexico were expressly not arrested so they could kill right-wing Republican voters.

“It’s really a border crisis that has gone all over the country,” said Vance.

“It does look intentional,” he emphasized. “It’s like Joe Biden wants to punish the people who didn’t vote for him, and opening up the floodgates to the border is one way to do it.”

Trump Organization accused of hiding witness Michael Cohen, Who knew Donald Trump lied

Of all Donald Trump’s legal issues, the 2015 lawsuit over how his company’s security guards beat protesters seems relatively minor. But attorneys in that case now believe Trump’s former fixer, Michael Cohen, was in the room when Trump allegedly ordered guards to attack protesters.

That’s a key detail in an ongoing lawsuit in New York City. And, if true, that means the former president lied in his videotaped testimony behind closed doors last October.

It also turns out that Trump’s former chief of security, Keith Schiller, also lied when he was similarly ousted in 2016 by lawyers representing battered protesters.

The case was essentially on hold while Trump was shielded by presidential power in the White House. But over the past month or so — with the trial only weeks away — lawyers for the upset protesters have discovered that Cohen is a key witness to Trump’s personal involvement in the attack.

The Trump Organization “should have known that Mr. Cohen had relevant information and was a potential witness for nearly seven years before he moved forward.” [us] his own,” wrote Benjamin N. Dictor in a court filing Tuesday. (Dictor also represents The Daily Beast’s News Guild.)

The company “did not disclose this or identify Mr. Cohen as a person with relevant information at any time,” Dictor explained.

On Friday, attorneys representing Trump, Schiller and the company filed the document in court and consider it a completely different story. The attorney, Alina Habba, claimed the defense was “ambushed” by Cohen’s sudden appearance as a prospective witness. And Habba took the opportunity to throw mud at Cohen himself, noting that he was “a disgraced lawyer and convicted of a felony.” She denied any testimony he could give, calling Cohen a “convicted persecutor” with a “well documented supplier” against Trump.

Both sides are now preparing to formally question Cohen himself in the coming weeks, and his testimony could prove decisive at trial. Cohen declined to comment on the matter for the time being, citing that he is about to be removed from office. However, court records did explain what he was expected to say.

The Christo-fascists are doubtless beside themselves with glee. Trump was worth every penny they paid for him, and democracy has taken a body blow in the US.

If this doesn't get out the vote for Dems in 2022 and 2024, nothing will.  And American democracy will truly be dead.  70% of the US population wants Roe to remain as is.

IMO, this would just hasten US decline.  The only question now is how quickly and violently the country will implode.

The more I think about the roe v. Wade leak, the more I believe it was a GOP agent.

The leak would have locked in those Justices that might have been swayed to a 5-4 decision in favor of keeping RvW. Justice Roberts might have been working on one of the other justices to uphold RvW and now, with the leak, they would not be able to "flip" their decision. 

Just a thought.

If your living in a Republican lead state and are pro choice get out while you can and if you can't good luck.

Won't be possible when they vote to ban abortions at the Federal level. Won't work as they continue to limit voting rights. Won't work as they cut education because they like they're voters uninformed and uneducated.

This is the right. This is who they are.
