@#4 ... It's hard to see how an Executive Order by the President has any authority over how the several States conduct their elections. The Constitution is pretty clear on this. ..

... and the Constitution seems to have mattered to Pres Trump ... how?

@#13 ... Hey DJ LampEasy, ...

Since your current trolling alias mentioned that, allow me to post another song ...

Is this what MAGA really thinks about Pres Trump?

@#8 ... The U.N. is about as anti American as it gets. ...

How so?

Please be specific.

thx.

@#14 ... From the Lumpers favorite source .... Anon Sources. ... ...

The whistleblower is not an anon source.

Do try harder.

@#13 ... "The allegations in the conversation about Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, would be significant if verified" ...

So, your current alias admits that the whistleblowers complaint has not been verified or rebutted.

Is that a reason to not release it publicly?

Or is Sec Gabbard going to continue to hide behind the ~national security~ excuse?

As I mentioned in #12...

... if the accusations are not true, then Sec Garrard should release the document and provide reasons why it is incorrect.

Until then, it is looking like yet another Trump admin cover-up. ...

It still looks that way, imo.

@#9 ... "There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!" the president wrote on Truth Social. ...

So, Pres Trump admits and asserts that his dicta auto-magically override Congress?

@#12 .. You're addicted to the Drudge Report?! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! JFC, you're one sorry SOB. ...

Yeah, that was my ~wait, what???~ thought when I read that comment.

Was any evidence presented?

More from the article ...

... Trump's lawyers asked the judge, Lori Will, to "recognize a rule of temporary immunity that protects the Presidency from the diversions, distractions and harassment of state civil litigation."

The plaintiffs alleged that they were denied their agreed--pon payout for successfully launching Truth Social.

But before the judge could decide the immunity matter, Trump seemed to undercut his own argument by filing a civil lawsuit of his own against an Iowa newspaper, the Des Moines Register.

Trump, who for decades has used litigation to hit back at critics, subsequently filed at least five more lawsuits in his personal capacity, seeking tens of billions of dollars.

These were defamation suits targeting a book publisher, Penguin Random House, and three news organizations, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the BBC; a suit accusing a bank, JPMorgan Chase of unlawfully closing his accounts; and a suit accusing the U.S. Internal Revenue Service of unlawfully failing to prevent disclosure of his tax returns to the media.

The media companies and JPMorgan denied wrongdoing. The IRS has not commented on the lawsuit or responded in court.

Ultimately, the Delaware case against Trump was dismissed by Will in September, but not on immunity grounds. ...

@#11

Got a link for that?

thx.

OK, I would like to proffer.

I am not against Voter ID to vote. Here in Connecticut I have have to show identification for decades in order to cast my vote(s).

My concern on this current issue is --- what are the hurdles that Pres trump is trying to put into place to prevent legal voters from being able to obtain the ID needed to be able to vote?

imo, that is the crux of this issue.

@#11 ... saying it's her fault for swerving into them? ...

You mean, when the body cam video seems to show the ICE agent turning the steering wheel to the left to crash into her car?

And then the ICE agents in the ICE vehicle saying, "Be advised, we've been struck! We've been struck!" one of the agents announces over the air."

When it looks like it waw actually the ICE vehicle that intentionally turned into Ms Martinez's vehicle.

@#5 ... OK, here's the first song of that musical amalgam ...

Oops, it is the second song, not the first.

The first is Are You Sitting Comfortably.

Apologies.

imo, one of the best songs of the Moody Blues ...

@#3 ... Are you saying you were a Frat Boy? ;-) ...

I've said it in the past that I was a member of a Fraternity.

Indeed, I remember the miranda7 alias stating to me that I do not seem like a Frat boy, when I last mentioned it, oh, a year or two ago.

I learned a lot from my Fraternity experience. Besides the enduring friendships, while i was in college I was managing the budget for the Frat house when I was the Treasurer. With mortgage and utility payments and all. I remember having to walk to the bank each month to pay the mortgage and to deposit the checks for room rents because, back then, there did not exist automatic fund transfers.

:)

But, there it is....

Pres Trump has seen the polls.

Now he is reacting to those polls.

Instead of acting for the People he should be serving, he seems to be acting only in his own self-interests.

A fav tune of mine.

thx for posting it.

I remember seeing them perform in Madison Square Garden one night, then driving to Philadelphia with others the next night to see them perform again at the, then called, Philadelphia Spectrum.

Fortunately, there was an alumni of the Frat in Philadelphia who offered his living room floor for an after-concert sleeping bag overnight stay. We bought him a ticket to attend with us. :)

This was in the mid-1970's.

@11

If Pres Trump's militia actually does leave Minnesota, it will take years to recover from the economic damage done to the economy of the state and the city of Minneapolis.

Will Pres Trump be providing the financial resources needed to help the area to recover from the damage he caused to its economy?

Or was that financial damage just another goal of his?

... A review of the riskier apps to use when it comes to protecting personal data finds Instagram and Facebook ranking first ...

Then there are things like this ...

@#14 ... Is there any other kind of left,...

Well, according to Pres Trump, Democrats are the enemies from within.

Once again, Sec Kennedy seems to ignore science in favor of appealing to ignorance.

@#8 ... but they can't prove it. ...

Like much of what Pres Trump asserts?

That aside.

If the accusations are not true, then Sec Garrard should release the document and provide reasons why it is incorrect.

Until then, it is looking like yet another Trump admin cover-up.

@#4 ... Color me NOT surprised AGAIN! ...

Why does Pres Trump seem to be so focused upon pardoning law-breakers that support him or have provided him with personal financial gain?

Oh wait, did I just answer my own question?

More from the article ...

... According to a Reddit post, one DoorDash driver discovered this issue when an odd request appeared in their queue. Instead of making a delivery, the driver was offered $6.25 to drive less than one mile to a Waymo vehicle and close its door. After "verified completion," they would get an extra $5.

"You actually door' dashed," one commenter noted.

It seems too ironic to be real.

Waymo vehicles represent technological breakthroughs that once seemed unfathomable. The Alphabet-owned company just raised $16 billion to take its driverless cars international!

But Waymo and DoorDash confirmed to TechCrunch that this Reddit post is legitimate. This is, in fact, a real problem. ...

@#9 ... Coal is a ---- fuel. Always has been, always will be. ...

Yup.

Probably the only fuel that kills so many of those who help to bring it to market.

But Pres Trump probably does not care about those working people.

He only seems to care about the contributions from the coal industry oligarchs.

... as Pres Trump drives away our strong allies of 8 decades, to suck up to Pres Putin ....

... Merz said European nations must "use the pressure we are facing to create something new, something good" as he firmly rejected "big power politics," which he said are "not an option for Germany" or Europe.

"Leadership in partnership, yes. Hegemonial fantasies, no," Merz said.

The chancellor also pointed to what his country has learned from when Nazi Germany occupied much of Europe.

"Never again will we Germans go it alone. This is the enduring lesson we have learned from our history. We assert our freedom with our neighbors " only with our neighbors, our allies and our partners." ...
