Mick Jagger got his licks in on Trump and DeSantis last night in Florida. He may be old, but he's still sharp: https://www.rawstory.com/mick-jagger-2668453506/
Skinny, this is slightly off subject, but you may enjoy this if you're a Mick Jagger fan. David Bowie imitating Mick insulting a old non-fan at the time…

Absolute Gold !
Thanks, Meltdown. That was great.
Too funny not to share. Cheers !
Regarding today's quote: I'll make an exception with Trump.
Oh and lock him up.
That Kaplan Strategies poll in CD4 is just baffling. 40 % want a complete dumpster fire. I don't get it. I really don't.
Something about that poll just doesn't seem right to me, but I skimmed the Kaplan release and a few things stand out. The Buell boo-boo would have cost many politicians dearly, not that many years ago, but her name recognition in this poll was off the charts. No such thing as bad press, I guess. 41% said she had good character and judgment!
About 50% had not heard of Sonnenberg, despite 16 years serving people in the 4th in the state legislature. Y'know, doing the peoples' work in the actual area in which the voters live. Charlie Brown say auuuggghhh….
This poll still had 40% undecided, which like Ace Ventura suggests that they're saying there's a chance. But hoo-hah, it's way too close to the election to have those overall polling numbers, if they're really representative of the electorate.
The poll does seem a little suspect to me (343 people), but I have to admit I am quite biased, which could be part of it.
My feeling that as long as we don't get another Trump term I could tolerate Bobo's idiocy for a while longer. She can't really do that much damage other than neglecting the constituents of CD4, while the orange turd could actually ruin this country for good. I would take that in trade.
^^^^ Let CD-4 suffer this fool. They will get the representation that they deserve.
I would definitely take that trade, meltdown, but she's plenty capable of lower-level damage, given her actions on and before J-6.
True 2Jung. But it also would be possible for that to backfire on her, and have her end up in a Jenna Ellis FAFO situation. That would be rich.

Elon Musk is probably going to be in Trump's cabinet next year.

Appeals court halts Trump’s criminal proceedings in Georgia amid scrutiny of Fani Willis – POLITICO
My guess is that the Florida documents case (or as Trump calls it, "Box Hoax") will be the next case to be resolved.
If Trump wins in November, he'll simply have AG Paxton move to dismiss the indictment come January.
If Trump loses the election, the case goes forward, after Jack Smith's team presents all its evidence, the defense moves for judgment of acquittal and Judge Cannon grants their motion taking the case away from the jury. And Trump cannot be retried because it implicates double jeopardy.
Fani Willis deserves some blame for creating an appearance of impropriety that has fostered the delay due to the proceedings on whether the DA and special prosecutor should be disqualified. But even without that snafu, the reality is that a multi-defendant state RICO case was not going to get to trial before the 2024 election under any circumstances. I'm sure discovery is still funneling from the prosecution to the defendants now.
