nuckin_futz Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Trump lawyer Tacopina withdraws from Manhattan legal team (Reuters) - Joseph Tacopina, an attorney on former U.S. President Donald Trump's legal team, on Monday said he will no longer represent him in a criminal case in Manhattan related to alleged hush money payments or a separate appeal of a civil case. Tacopina withdrew from representing Trump in two of the former president's ongoing legal battles, including a state criminal case in which Trump was charged with falsifying business records over a hush money payment to a porn star before his victory in the 2016 presidential election, the lawyer confirmed in an email to Reuters. The New York Times had earlier reported that Tacopina had withdrawn from the two cases. Trump has plead not guilty to the charges, and will face a trial this year, although the timing is uncertain. My guess is he got tired of sending invoices and 'final payment due' notices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The fall of the roman empire took almost 500 years. The fall of the US empire will have taken less than 16 See the bolded for proof that the average American might be stupid. But the average republican voter is even more so In school gyms, libraries and community centres across Iowa on Monday night, the Republican Party found itself at a fork in the road. It chose the path of Donald Trump. The former president began his political comeback with a historic landslide in Iowa on Monday, cementing his frontrunner status for Republican nominee. He won by an unprecedented margin over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis while former UN ambassador Nikki Haley finished third, and Vivek Ramaswamy dropped out to endorse Trump. For all the complaints about Iowa's caucuses – they're low-turnout, time-consuming, an inefficient way to vote – they offer a glimpse at democracy as a public pageant. At hundreds of locations, someone grabs a microphone to speak on behalf of each candidate; then friends and neighbours line up and drop hand-filled ballots in paper bags. The remaining Republicans opposed to Trump pleaded with their fellow partisans to choose a different path. In Van Meter, Iowa, local councillor Joel Akers spoke to members of his community who filled the stands in a high-school gym. He said he'd voted twice for Trump. But something snapped that day a mob attacked the U.S. Capitol to keep Trump in office. "He didn't do a whole lot to stop it," Akers said. "The fact that he was so disrespectful of the peaceful transfer of power for our country … respected across the entire world, it was extremely disappointing to me. "From that point on, I don't want to have him in there anymore. I've moved on." Akers endorsed Haley as someone his daughter could look up to, someone who treats others with respect and brings people together. A speaker on behalf of DeSantis, Jackie Abram, warned that Trump would be too distracted by criminal trials this year to fight the general election. She warned that Trump also turned off swing voters and that could cost victory in the election against President Joe Biden. Those arguments were resoundingly crushed. Here's a piece of critical context: this county was an island of moderation in the state where the Haley-type candidate prevailed: in 2016 Marco Rubio, and in 2012 Mitt Romney, won Dallas County, an exurb of Des Moines. It didn't happen this time. In 2024, Trump appeared to win this county and came within a whisker of winning all 99 counties in the state, an unprecedented victory for a contested Republican caucus. At this high school gym, in what might have been Haley country, the vote results were Trump 85, DeSantis 79, Haley 64, Ramaswamy 21. This is three years after Trump appeared politically dead: he'd lost the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives and his supporters had tried interrupting the transfer of power for the first time in the 232-year history of U.S. elections, the Civil War notwithstanding. Trump has been described as a menace by two of his chiefs of staff, two of his secretaries of defence, two national-security advisers and numerous other former aides including in books and public hearings. Now, his career is very much alive. After they voted, Trump supporters brushed off the warnings they'd heard, such as the one from Akers. In what was a triumphant moment, several even expressed anger. Anger about inflation, migration, and the lack of a border wall with Mexico. But also anger about the 2020 election, their views countering the prevailing mainstream recollection of that year's events. They insist the election was stolen from Trump; they dismiss the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol as an inside job led by the FBI or by left-wing anarchists, or both, and no amount of media stories to the contrary will make a difference because they don't trust the media either. "People are pissed," said an older woman who declined to be named, a real-estate agent angry about interest rates. "They're done with this crap. And they're going to get more in people's faces. … We're done with it. People are done with it." Interviews like these gave human voice to entrance polls at Iowa caucus sites. The numbers reveal a fault line in the Republican Party – on one side, a mere 10 per cent of Trump supporters say Biden was legitimately elected; most supporters of other candidates agreed Biden won. Among Trump supporters, nearly three-quarters said he should keep running for office even if he's found guilty of a crime; anti-Trump Republicans disagreed. And there's no doubt who's running the show now in this party. "I personally feel he's still our president. I believe it was taken away from him," said retiree Dan Edwards. Edwards always hated politics and took an interest because of Trump. He saw Trump as the first politician willing to fight for a nationalist agenda – like putting tariffs on foreign goods, and, again, pushing for the wall with Mexico. He grew angry while discussing the criminal charges against Trump, which he derided as anti-American forces trying to sideline him. "It's all bull crap," he said. "All the charges, all the election interference is what it is. And it's bad people from all over the world interfering in our elections. A lot of bad people." When asked about Jan. 6 he said: "I don't give a damn." He referred to anarchists and the FBI and said the official stories about the Capitol ransacking are lies. "I'm not stupid. And neither are anybody else," he said. "What's going on in this country right now, we have to stop it. And if we don't stop it, it's going to get bad. Real bad." Another woman who didn't provide her name brushed off Jan. 6: "That stupid riot?" She said what people care about is lower interest rates and cheaper food. Another retiree said he felt like he was voting for the legitimate incumbent president: Trump. "I think he got ripped off," Don Grunwold said. "There's too many Democrats trying to chase him out of office. Before he was supposed to leave." In politics, success breeds success. Trump is now piling up endorsements from high-level Republicans, as people want to join the perceived winner. It was reflected in the fact that other candidates had local community members speaking on their behalf in Van Meter; taking the microphone for Trump, however, was a U.S. congressman, Jason Smith, who came up from Missouri. Meanwhile, Sen. Marco Rubio just joined the pile endorsing Trump, a bitter break for someone who endorsed Rubio in 2016: Haley. Late Monday, pressure mounted on other candidates to leave the race. On Fox News, one personality appeared to hint that Haley should quit now, while she still has a chance to be Trump's running mate. They made their choice in Iowa. And barring a miracle turnaround, starting in New Hampshire, Donald Trump's comeback will be ratified by the entire Republican Party. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Trump's Truth Social account is attacking E. Jean Carroll while he's sitting in court for her defamation trial While Trump was in court for the opening of the second E. Jean Carroll trial, she faced online attacks from him. Trump's Truth Social account sent out a slew of posts that sought to cast Carroll in an unfavorable light. The new trial will determine whether Trump will have to pay out millions of dollars to Carroll. Former President Donald Trump is Manhattan on Tuesday to attend the opening of the second E. Jean Carroll defamation trial to determine whether the ex-president will have shell out millions of dollars tied to Carroll's allegations of sexual assault in the 1990s. But Trump's Truth Social account blasted out posts attacking Carroll while the two were sitting in the courtroom, the first time they've been in same room together in decades. One post from the former president's account this morning stated: "Can you believe I have to defend myself against this woman's fake story?!" The seconds-long video clip linked in the post shows Carroll being interviewed by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, where she makes comments regarding sexual assault that lack context and could be misconstrued by viewers. Trump's Truth Social account also blasted old tweets from 2010 and 2014 that Carroll posted to her Twitter account as part of his collection of posts that attempt to cast the former Elle magazine columnist in a negative light. "Everything interesting on Twitter is about sex," Carroll posted in January 2014 on the social media platform then known as Twitter, while a May 2010 post read: "Sex Tip I Learned From My Dog: When in heat, chase the male until he collapses with exhaustion ... then jump him!" Trump in May 2023 was found liable for the sexual abuse of Carroll after she accused him of raping her in a dressing room at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in 1996. Trump flew to New York from Iowa after his decisive win in the Iowa Republican caucuses last night. The next contest is the key New Hampshire presidential primary next Tuesday. The former president remains the overwhelming favourite to capture the GOP nomination despite his legal issues, including the current trial and the 91 criminal charges he faces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the results of trickle down economics and the whole Regan agenda that continued the transfer of wealth to the top, causing ever increasing wealth disparity.

He's no doubt waiting until Dotard gets elected again so he could get another pardon for that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgusting. To be fair, there’s plenty of low key racism by some Dems/Libs. They hide it better, imo. Actually, no ethnic group doesn’t have racists amongst themselves. Just saying.

I'd tell him the story about how a mother and her two children drowned because of a new policy enacted by Greg Abbott that blocked Border Patrol Agents from rendering aid: https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/migrants-drown-rio-grande-texas-blocks-border-patrol-rescue/ Quote A woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass on Friday night as they were attempting to cross the U.S. southern border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection told TPR that Border Patrol was prevented from deploying lifesaving efforts by agents with Operation Lone Star, the controversial Texas border security initiative. Under the direction of Gov. Greg Abbott, Operation Lone Star last week seized control of Eagle Pass’ Shelby Park, which faces the Rio Grande and has denied access to the Border Patrol. This is the part where the "both sides" crowd tell us how there is "no difference" between the Democrats and Republicans.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I’m going to say something that may irk those that know me. Here we go… I think the Republicans have a winning issue with border security. No country, even the US, can allow a lawless border. People who are desperate and do desperate things, like crossing a River with their kid are taking their lives in their own hands. Should the Dems try to politically profit off that sad news? No. Should the Repubs, who are in Control of Congress, use it as a means to profit either? No. The Southern Border needs to be shut. Immigration policies also need to be adjusted in the scope of security and common sense. It’s a lot to unpack. As a person who sided with fairness and integrity I wanted to proffer my two cents. Pushback is certainly welcome. Respectful discussion is encouraged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
