    Judge Rules Trump is not immuned from civil suits over Jan 6 Capitol riot


    U.S. District Judge ruled that evidence produced so far in the litigation brought by police officers and Democratic lawmakers indicated that Trump’s speech at the Ellipse that day was political in nature and not subject to the immunity the Supreme Court has found for a president’s official acts.

    “President Trump has not shown that the Speech reasonably can be understood as falling within the outer perimeter of his Presidential duties,” the judge wrote. “The content of the Ellipse Speech confirms that it is not covered by official-acts immunity.”

    As for Trump calling Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Jan. 2, 2021, pleading with him to find 11,780 votes so Trump could be declared the winner,

    The REAL rhetorical question here is: Will Trump scam enough money to cover his lawsuits?

    We are so long past, "Why the f*** was he ever allowed to run again, we all saw what he did with our own eyes?" and we always drop such gems as, "Why pardon the former drug-running President of Honduras, then claim to go after Maduro for running drugs, and bolstering Vice President Deisy Como-se-llama when she's also under investigation for running drugs...."

    FAKE NEWS!

    As a hand-talker, I'll never hand-talk the same again.

    "you people" spent all of your time trying to prevent him from running, rather than fielding a campaign that could beat him.

    I lived in Italy during my military service. I learned Italian fairly well. I returned home talking with my hands.
    Interviewers would stare at my hands. I had to learn to shut them up during interviews if I wanted a job. Didn't take, so I wound up in college where I belonged anyway.

    I'm still talking with my hands. People say I look like I'm conducting an orchestra.

    Trump's nothing but a conspiracy theorist and liar. His popularity is in a free fall and people are fed up with him and his MAGA loyalists. He knows that, even though he pretends he's the greatest. The old man is now less popular than when he lost to Biden. His cries of foul play are all he has to try to brainwash his cult again or try to cheat the voters to win.

    Judge orders restoration of national park plaques removed under Trump directive

    Officials given 21 days to comply with order after Angel Kelley condemns administration for ‘telling half-truths’


    A US district court judge has ordered the Trump administration to reinstate any history or science materials it removed from the nation’s public monuments, finding that the White House’s actions “set a dangerous precedent of censorship and sanitization”.

    A federal judge barred the U.S. Postal Service from refusing to mail ballots in states that haven't turned over their registered voter rolls,
    one day after the postmaster general testified before a Senate committee.

    The Postal Service doesn't have the constitutional authority to administer elections and hasn't been given the power by Congress
    to create binding regulations on voting by mail, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said in the decision.

    Supreme Court rules states can count late-arriving mailed ballots, rejecting Trump-led challenge


    Justice Amy Coney Barrett, nominated by Trump, wrote the court’s majority opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and the three liberal justices.

    Federal laws setting a single Election Day “leave open when those votes must be received,” Barrett wrote.

    Congress could change the law, she said. “If varied deadlines for ballot receipt similarly call for a national solution, the American people must choose it through their elected representatives,” Barrett wrote.
