All I really know is, I got a check...And then all hell broke loose.
--Stormy Daniels
In total, 34 false entries were made in New York business records to conceal the initial covert $130,000 payment...Further, participants in the scheme took steps that mischaracterized, for tax purposes, the true nature of the reimbursements.
--Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg
Minutes before he's arraigned on charges in New York, Trump was dealt his latest significant defeat in the Jan. 6 special counsel investigation.
--Kyle Cheney, Twitter
A federal appeals court in Washington rejected an emergency bid by former President Donald Trump to block several top aides from testifying in the special counsel investigation of his effort to subvert the 2020 election.

Honesty is the best politics.

Stormy Daniels has become a national folk hero.
ReplyDeleteTrue, Mitchell, but unlike Johnny Appleseed, I don't think they'll be teaching about her in grade school.
DeleteI have been loving it.... but I get a sinking feeling we will see no jail time and he'll sail right through to elections with DeSaintis, who will have knocked all the other buffoons out. I swear...after all this, if he becomes President again........ I will go crazy, and the country will not survive another four years of him...and he will be hell bent on revenge...with his minions having free reign with no consequences. I worry and don't discount him for a minute.
ReplyDeleteMaddie, I'll be honest with you, a sex scandal isn't my favorite way to bring down a politician. True, laws may be broken (Bill Clinton lying under oath, Trump falsifying business records) but those things are done to hide something that, in a perfect world, may be nobody's business in the first place. That said, Donald Trump remains a definite threat to the Republic, and since an INSURRECTION apparently isn't enough to get him hauled before a judge, well, as they say, any port in a Storm(-y.)
DeleteLock him up!
ReplyDeleteDebra, I'd be content to lock him out.
DeleteDonno much about this Kirk as don't really follow politics in general. BUT that is one of my favourite Laurel & Hardy films! I remember having Sons of the Desert recorded on VHS and then straight after it Duck Soup.
ReplyDeleteLast line in the movie, Ananka. I'm not a member of it (as I'm allergic to dues) but Sons of the Desert is also the name of the Laurel and Hardy fan club.
Delete"rejected an emergency bid"
ReplyDelete2023 will be the year of rejection of Donny Fish Mouth.
Mike, I'm guessing the arraignment was the "emergency."
DeleteHorrid and nasty man who it is alleged to have broken so many rules and laws. Lock him away.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Andrew, he was breaking those rules and laws long before he slithered into the Oval Office and became this country's Criminal-in-Chief.
DeleteHi, Kirk!
ReplyDeleteAs you recall, a few weeks ago I forecast "Stormy weather" ahead for Donald Trump. Based upon that pic of the voluptuous former pornstar, more than "all hell" is breaking loose -- namely the twin parachutes on her dress! Gee, based upon the expression on Trump's face, he's not having fun yet. As his legal problems mount, all I can say is couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Have a great weekend, good buddy Kirk!
Shady, Trump may have thought they were golden parachutes.
ReplyDeleteBut they ended up mischaracterized for tax purposes.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I look at the news and think, "What's happening to the world?". Well, not sometimes, every time. Lol!
ReplyDeleteSo do I, Lux. So do I.
DeleteI still wonder how this will all play out.
ReplyDeleteJM, Trump's done a lot worse things than this, so if it does turn out to be his downfall, it will be ironic (but nevertheless welcome.)
