“Judge Jackson now has a request for a new trial based on the unambiguous & self outed bias of the foreperson of the jury, whose also a lawyer, by the way. ‘Madam foreperson, your a lawyer, you have a duty, an affirmative obligation, to reveal to us when we selected you the.....

.....existence of these tweets in which you were so harshly negative about the President & the people who support him. Don’t you think we wanted to know that before we put you on this jury.’ Pretty obvious he should (get a new trial). I think almost any judge in the Country.....

These were Mueller prosecutors, and the whole Mueller investigation was illegally set up based on a phony and now fully discredited Fake Dossier, lying and forging documents to the FISA Court, and many other things. Everything having to do with this fraudulent investigation is...

....badly tainted and, in my opinion, should be thrown out. Even Mueller’s statement to Congress that he did not see me to become the FBI Director (again), has been proven false. The whole deal was a total SCAM. If I wasn’t President, I’d be suing everyone all over the place...

....BUT MAYBE I STILL WILL. WITCH HUNT!

The Crooked DNC is working overtime to take the Democrat Nomination away from Bernie, AGAIN! Watch what happens to the Super Delegates in Round Two. A Rigged Convention!

The United States cannot, & will not, become such a difficult place to deal with in terms of foreign countries buying our product, including for the always used National Security excuse, that our companies will be forced to leave in order to remain competitive. We want to sell...

....product and goods to China and other countries. That’s what trade is all about. We don’t want to make it impossible to do business with us. That will only mean that orders will go to someplace else. As an example, I want China to buy our jet engines, the best in the World....

....I have seen some of the regulations being circulated, including those being contemplated by Congress, and they are ridiculous. I want to make it EASY to do business with the United States, not difficult. Everyone in my Administration is being so instructed, with no excuses...

....THE UNITED STATES IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

President Trump pardons former San Francisco 49ers Owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr, who plead guilty in 1998 to failure to report a felony in a long running bribery case which lead to former Louisiana Governor Edwin E. Edwards being sent to Federal Prison.

DeBartolo did not serve jail time but paid 1 million dollars in fines and relinquished ownership of the football team.

I looked at some graphs about 2 weeks ago about GDP, unemployment and household income trends but didn't post. The conservative argument I heard this morning was that Obama inherited such a depressed economy that there was nowhere to go but upward.

Unemployment rate:

I don't know how safe it would be but I'd love to stick those graphs on a few billboards as a tease, with a prominent link to a quiz or something. Believe it or not freshman algebra students really like graphs! They get engaged talking about what graphs are showing and when given multiple-choice answers will discuss it among themselves. It could be a way to counter Trump's narrative without calling anyone wrong. His supporters could still say, "Well, stay the course!" while detractors could worry about a bubble. It would be a public service, IMO. Educate people a little.

Puts things in perspective for me; the 2008 crash had a big effect on my life but can also be seen as a predictable correction that has evened out over time.

I don't think spectators secretly wish for NASCAR crashes; I think it's fairly explicit. I don't think they're hoping for *deaths*, but there's some satisfaction watching drivers emerge unscathed. For me, anyway. It's like magic - how to they do that? With science!

But then you do have the fatalities. In the stands, even.

If Trump could make it law to give him his old team back, he probably would.

I thought Jeff Sessions was a horrible choice as AG, but leave it to Trump to replace him with an even worse choice.

More than 1100 former DOJ employees have signed a petition calling for the resignation of AG Barr.

The number nearly doubled over the course of the day and is now over 2,000.

In addition, the Federal Judges Association, representing over 1,000 federal jurists, has now called an "emergency meeting" ahead of its scheduled gathering in the Spring.

Even GOP lawmakers bitched about that one. Again, it's going to be really, really hard for Trump to sell the "I'm the law and order POTUS" when he keeps doing **** like this.

Yeah, this one legitimately shocks me. Wasn't this guy the Republican Poster Boy for how Corrupt&Evil the Democrats are?

I guess Trump is so keen to normalize political corruption that he'll even let the Democrats get away with it, now.
 
He probably just wants a token "See? See? I let one of the crooked Demmiecrats off!" to point at.

It fits into his whole "Everything I'm doing is okay because the whole system is corrupt" defense.

He certainly seems to be hitting a theme with some of these. In the Miliken case:


Grisham said in that statement that “the charges filed against Mr. Milken were truly novel.”

“In fact, one of the lead prosecutors later admitted that Mr. Milken had been charged with numerous technical offenses and regulatory violations that had never before been charged as crimes,” Grisham said.

How about that folks? If you invent a new type of crime to commit, you should be allowed to get away with it!

I should start a thread on this....

Maybe.

It appears that GWB made an appearance there in 2004. I don’t recall it being controversial.

Nothing wrong with appearing there or enjoying it (despite Limbaugh's conniption about the Obamas doing so). That lap was in terrible taste, though, further compounded by Trump leaving before the race even started.
