And testify he will because otherwise he will be going away for a long time... Amazing all those boxes of documents were in possession of him and his son to begin with.

Jennifer Weisselberg was married to Barry Weisselberg " the son of Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg " from 2004 to 2018. She has previously said that she had seven boxes of financial records from both her ex-husband and his father, some of which were obtained through divorce litigation. On Thursday, she loaded three boxes and a laptop computer onto a valet cart and wheeled them from her building to a black Jeep with dark-tinted windows that was waiting outside.

Sounds like a woman scorned and/or tired of a Trumpist husband and Trumpists-in-laws. How the hell did she get them through divorce litigation? Someone's lawyer must have been from Trump's election team.

I read that earlier. A kid is dead and she is in deep sh--. Mind boggling - you have to wonder how often something like that happens and IS NOT on camera. The kid was no saint by any stretch but his actions didn't warrant a street execution.

Also. If the Michigan insurrection proved anything. It's the Governor of Michigan has very little control of that state.

Georgia might be flipping blue. But Michigan is on the brink of red.

You may be right but we voted blue overall this past election. The GQP is strong here. We have that strong militia history too. The only reason the state government is such a cluster is GQP gerrymandering in 2010. Statistically, Democrats should hold more offices yet we have a GQP majority in both houses. The nice thing is we now have what is supposed to be a non-partisan board who will redistrict based on th2 2020 census. Of course even though almost 70% of citizens voted for it the GQP fought it tooth and nail to the state supreme court.

Oh and the last I knew they were struggling to get people to vaccinate anyhow...

As a resident of Michigan and in one of the counties with one of the highest positivity rates...

It is a combination of things.
- Restaurants and other venues were allowed to reopen @50% capacity about a month and a half ago.
- Most schools resumed in person classes for most days of the week about a month and a half ago.
- People started half wearing their masks in public in LARGE numbers about a month and a half ago.
- Gyms are going full speed ahead.
- Every other person I know is traveling with their families for Florida vacations for the last month or so. Very literally - I have never seen so many Florida vacations in March/April.
- B 1.1.7 became the dominant strain about a month ago.
- Entitled Karens and Kens are out in abundance everywhere.
- Gatherings are happening everywhere. (I admit guilt - small gathering - we had Easter with some of the family but most of us were also vaccinated.)
- Spring Shoppers are out in force. I haven't seen stores as busy this time of year in a long time.
- Workplaces like mine people became more relaxed and workers are gathering without masks or with poor mask wearing (nose fully expose, chin strap, etc.) This is despite HR and because of their direct management being Kens and Karens.

What it boils down to is we had a rough February weather wise and have had a warm spring since, the young don't care for the most part, everyone is getting really tired of isolation and we have LOADS of Trump Humpers.

Another preventable tragedy unfolding. This is so incredibly sad.

GQP posters - don't bother showing up and offering your prayers. Offer viable solutions that don't turn schools into prisons and children into inmates.

When you see polling numbers hitting 75% you know he's doing something right. I figured we wouldn't see 70% anytime soon for any president. I know it is on specific items but that's pretty amazing in this divisive time.

I completely agree. I found it humorous as the "whiny ass republicans" are usually the ones USING the seizure and saying things like "oh well, you shouldn't xyz." - turning it into the victims fault. Admittedly, I did that a little here because in my mind you have to be absolutely stupid to mess with border agents as they have too much authority and are all too entertained to use it. I don't even cut through Canada when we go East anymore because of how unpredictable things can be. Pre-Covid of course, it isn't much of an option now.

I posted an article like on this topic a couple years ago. Where a guy was a professional poker player traveling across country (NY to Las Vegas I believe) and some Podunk sheriff in I believe Kansas seized his cash because "it might be used for something illegal" or something similar. I believe it was a bogus stop as well. Civil forfeitures are a gross abuse of power. All to often the courts tell the victims "too bad" as well - the guy in the story was denied the return of the Cash.

Civil Forfeiture is in my mind an "unreasonable" seizure and should be unconstitutional. Now if you committed an ACTUAL CRIME and the property is involved, that's different. But to take something "just because". The agents here used a bogus 'munitions of war' "charge"/claim to take the truck. He wasn't criminally charged because they knew it wouldn't stick (was too much paperwork undoubtedly too) and this was more fun.
