Restraining Israel has been higher on the agenda... and why, pray tell, would Biden want war with Iran?

"Judge agrees to unseal additional filings from Jan. 6 case as Trump signals challenge

Chutkan granted Smith's motion to post redacted versions of the exhibits, something that could include grand jury transcripts, texts and other evidence assembled by prosecutors.

"The court determines that the Government's proposed redactions to the Appendix are appropriate, and that Defendant's blanket objections to further unsealing are without merit. As the court has stated previously, Defendant's concern with the political consequences of these proceedings' is not a cognizable legal prejudice,'" she wrote."

Biden or Harris supporting the strategic importance of Israel while condemning the genocide is better than having Traitor Trump in office again. Period.

Let's not pretend there's a third choice; there is not.

Comparing imperfections, since holding out for the perfect is self-abusive, not to mention abusive to others, is an irrational position; one finds that Harris is a much better choice of the only two options no matter what warts she might have, real or imagined.

Thanks, Trumpers!

"Trump faces four felony charges in federal court for trying to overturn the election, one of four criminal cases that have been brought against the ex-president.

Prosecutors accuse Trump of committing conspiracy to defraud, obstruction and conspiracy against rights in his scheme to overturn the 2020 election, which included efforts to pressure state officials and lawmakers to reject the results, pressuring Pence to block the results from being certified and orchestrating a "fake elector" scheme in which GOP officials submitted false slates of electors to Congress."

"Biden tells Trump 'get a life' over hurricane misinformation
Biden spoke Thursday at the White House about the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.

President Joe Biden on Thursday delivered a sharp rebuke of Donald Trump for spreading misinformation about the federal government's hurricane response.

While speaking on Hurricane Milton at the White House, Biden was asked if he's spoken to Trump directly.

"Are you kidding me?" Biden responded. "Mr. President Trump, former President Trump, get a life, man. Help these people."

The president was then asked by a reporter if he would do anything to try to hold Trump accountable, after Biden pledged to go after those who seek to take advantage of victims through price-gouging or scamming.

"The public will hold him accountable," Biden said. "You better -- the press -- hold him accountable because you know the truth."

[Narrator] They want you to forget about January 6th.

They want you to forget that Donald Trump lost the election
and knew it on election night.

"- This is a fraud on the American public.

This is an embarrassment to our country."

Frankly, we did win. - Trump
He beat us by a whisker.- Also Trump

- [Narrator] They want you to forget any illegal conspiracy
against the United States of America
and every American voter.

They want you to forget when they lost in court
that they used violence at the Capitol,
but we haven't forgotten and we won't.

Trump and his associates are amping it up again,
planting the seeds that will lead
to the same violence and chaos.

"- Hard to say what you're gonna do and what you're not.
- It's not over on Election Day,
it's over on Inauguration Day. - Trumpers

- My answer's always conditional.
- The only way they're gonna win,
in my opinion, is if they cheat.
Prosecute people that cheated.
They cheat. Do you understand that, you crooked people.
- And, Senator, will you accept
the election results? - Hillary Clinton said...
- We will use constitutional processes to challenge issues"
(news clips)
.
- [Narrator] Assaults on police officers,
threats to poll workers.

- 200,000 volunteers to be poll watchers.

- [Narrator] Attacks on our institutions.

In 2021, they failed to overturn the election.
January 6th was a trial run.

They've learned lessons, put new allies in vital positions.

"- It's gonna take a civil war to save the country." -Trumpers on tv

- [Narrator] If Kamala wins, Trump will make sure
it's painful for America,
but not nearly as painful if he won.

There's a fight ahead either way,
and the first and most important one
will be at the ballot box.

Don't get comfortable, don't take down your guard,
because now, more than ever, it's America or Trump.

"It turns out, Elon Musk's gracious offer of "free" Starlink high-speed internet services for those affected by Hurricane Helene isn't free at all, and may be a ploy to trap new customers.

Last week, Starlink posted a link on X to a website explaining its offer to those seeking Hurricane Helene relief. "For those impacted by Hurricane Helene, or looking to support response and recovery efforts in affected areas, Starlink is now free for 30 days," the post read.

Musk reshared the post, adding, "Starlink terminals will now work automatically without need for payment in the areas affected by Hurricane Helene."

A closer look at the website, though, shows that the offer comes with a few caveats."

"Discussing how components can be defined as a weapon, Justice Samuel Alito asked Prelogar:

"If I put on a counter some eggs, some chopped-up ham, some chopped-up pepper and onions, is that a western omelet?"

Prelogar replied that they are not, as they can be used to make many other dishes, whereas the components of a ghost gun can only be used to make a firearm.

"The key difference here is that these weapon parts kits are designed and intended to be used as instruments of combat and they have no other conceivable use."

"Trump tells judge that special counsel evidence in January 6 probe shouldn't be released during election"

Also, she's the Butch-Built Babe of the Republican party.

I think of her as Smellbringer in Drag.

- Harris was the only Democrat in position to do what she's done.

This seemingly obvious fact seemingly doesn't seem to much matter in some wishful thinking.

Don't know why not....

"The filing also described Trump's public statements as calculated moves to provoke anger among his supporters, even as his advisers discredited his claims of voter fraud.

According to prosecutors, Trump privately dismissed his lawyer Sidney Powell's fraud claims as "crazy," while continuing to use similar rhetoric in public.

Prosecutors allege that Trump "laid the groundwork for his crimes well before" Election Day, including by promoting doubt in the electoral process and planning to declare victory immediately.

US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who has overseen the case, recently addressed Trump's defense team's claims of partisan bias.

"Defendant's opposition brief repeatedly accuses the government of bad-faith partisan bias," Chutkan wrote. "These accusations, for which Defendant provides no support, continue a pattern of defense filings focusing on political rhetoric rather than addressing the legal issues at hand."

Ah. more arguments free postage.

Same source.

#42 - NW, Thanks!

#43 - Whiny, no thanks!

She's much better option than the criminal traitor candidate, and that's enough for this election.

If you are right, which you aren't and it sounds sexist and racist, but if you are then that can be fixed later.

Unless of course you have a better viable option?

- I'm not swayed.

RLR! Are you saying you are feeling stiff right now?

Sorry, I do that to everyone, $^),

- Biden - expand SCOTUS or curb the filibuster

IS hardly 'low hanging fruit' in the current political environment of not being guaranteed even one of the Senate or the House.... as the Executive can't do those things without losing one or both.

I have no problem with either of those things, but I'm not our current Cultized (ok, i made that werd up) swing voter profile... which would prolly include neither of those things.

And none of those things will get done without Priorities''' and the main Priority must needs be Elections being Publicly Financed by 'donations' or taxes on Major Corporations/ Billionaires (like Trump) /Oligarchs... and by Major Media who can By God provide Election coverage over OUR By God AIRWAVES that belong the People and are currently being abused cheaply by them.

... because the love of money is the root of all evil, and evil will infest our government only as long as we let it.

Also this:

8 deaths have been reported, 4 in Tampa Bay.

More Emergency Funds rather than less might be a better Republican Policy than, "Let Them Drink Seawater!".

Just sayin'.

Hannibal Lector would be a better option than Trump.

He only eats a few people... Trump is a Life Energy Vampire feeding on an entire nation.

Because for Republicans election interference is great if Trump does it!

We are well into the realm of Lesser Evil Voting... and whether it's wise to demean the lesser evil during an election where they are running against the Greatest Evil we've ever seen as a candidate.

Apparently there are no disqualifying factors where the Cult Leader is concerned.

"Meteorologists Get Death Threats as Hurricane Milton Conspiracy Theories Thrive

It's their job to warn residents about destructive storms " but political polarization has made them targets online."

.

"People are just so far gone, it's honestly making me lose all faith in humanity," says Washington D.C.-based meteorologist Matthew Cappucci, in a phone interview conducted while he was traveling down to Florida for the storm.

"There's so much bad information floating around out there that the good information has become obscured."

Cappucci says that he's noticed an enormous change on social media in the last three months:

"Seemingly overnight, ideas that once would have been ridiculed as very fringe, outlandish
viewpoints are suddenly becoming mainstream and it's making my job much more difficult."

"At least 19 tornadoes touch down in Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton landfall

There are confirmed fatalities associated with the tornadoes, officials say. St. Lucie County officials confirmed that there are "multiple fatalities" following tornadoes in the area.

The fatalities are in the Spanish Lakes Community, they said."

"Some social media users also reference geoengineering, which NASA describes as proposed schemes "to reverse or limit climate change by intentional, large-scale manipulation of the Earth's climate."

But "geoengineering could not create or control hurricanes," said Joshua Horton, a senior program fellow studying solar geoengineering at Harvard University.

"It doesn't currently exist, but if it did, geoengineering would be much too imprecise to control weather or weather events like hurricanes," Horton said."

/

"Hugh Willoughby, a research professor at Florida International University whose work focuses on hurricanes, said he's not aware of any U.S. programs to revive the hurricane modification project.

He said the idea that the government can control a hurricane is "utter nonsense."

;

As 'utter nonsense'... this could make the Republican Party Platform!

I know, right?
