Political optics are just as important as the legal case. Josh Marshal at TPM.
Trump will face his federal obstruction charges presumably before this case puts it's pants on.
I think it is true that it will make Trump the Republican nominee. I think it is true his supporters won't trust the judicial system regarding any Republican or Trump.
Republicans will continue to cry and I won't feel pity for them.
Trying to game out what Republicans are going to shout about beforehand has always been a losing proposition. We lose ground in the attempt to appear non-partisan (or bipartisan) and then they scream about it anyway.
Good news from Grand Junction’s municipal election: after several failed election efforts over 40-some years, the Western Slope’s largest city finally will build a community recreation center. It will join Gunnison, Montrose, Durango, Delta and Glenwood Springs with such amenities.
Even better, the City Council will be a much more reasonable group after three moderates and even Democrats won seats last night. Among the failed conservative slate were the retired CEO of the Chamber of Commerce, a local real estate developer and a chiropractor who was the most vocal anti-vaxxer in town and whose wife, the president of the school board, led the charge to eliminate a student health clinic in the under-construction new Grand Junction High School and who is facing a recall.
Mesa County as a whole remains as Trumpian as ever, with the county commissioners and DA penning a recent op-ed lambasting proposed gun laws in the legislature.
As one wag put it last night while enjoying the rec center campaign’s victory party: “Grand Junction is turning into a liberal bastion surrounded by insanity.’’
Way to go, Grand Junction! Ralphie would be proud.
👍👍❤️
Good to hear!
The election of Scott Bielfuss to city council is particularly gratifying to me. Not only because Scott is an extraordinarily good man. I have known him for years. He will, one day, be revered for his service to Grand Junction.
It is especially gratifying that he defeated Diane Schwenke. I was the chair of the WCC (now WCA) energy committee when Diane personally delivered a letter to the organizations' director, terminating our membership. Her justification for summarily dismissing our paid membership was due to, in her words, "political differences"
I relate this story to you to illustrate the impunity with which Mrs. Schwenke and the cadre of realtors, developers, bankers OilyBoyz. and their hand-picked cronies have unabashedly run this county. At least since I came here in the mid-seventies.
So…congratulations Scott!! Grand Junction just got lucky!
Agree – great to hear about Scott's win!
The more progressive candidate won Chicago's mayoral election over the more "moderate" candidate who was supported by the Democratic establishment and the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police.
The Chicago FOP has invited Ron Desantis to speak to their members. What's with the fascism in police Unions? Or, is it just the white police unions that are fascist?
This sounds fun…
Elizabeth school board conservative in-fighting; three of the five conservative board members resigned after the other two even more whacko members derailed the board and school admin with personal attacks.
Denver voters don't trust developers. Shocking, I know.
Paul López won reëlection as Denver Clerk. Shocking, I know.
Yet Denver voters trust idiots who say that a covenant that says a site must be used as a golf course really doesn’t mean that.
EDIT: Spelling of words matter
Which convent is saying that?
Little Sisters of the Golf Widows.
I'm thinking warm thoughts about all those golf-playing nuns, and imagining them wearing floor-length habits and those flying-nun coifs.
Amazing what AI picture generation can do. It's like the one showing happy babies mountain climbing.
The spelling of words matters.
Sarah H. Sanders has egg on her face today. After telling the Fed'ral Gub'mint to stay out of Arkansas' bid'ness, she went poor-mouthing to pay for the tornado recovery. They won't, but it'd serve her right if the Feds told her they didn't want to meddle in her state's affairs.
