"lawfare costs." Those folks love their little catchwords.

I suspect that protestation is for the hoi polloi (MAGA) and begging.

Anyone heard of plans after high school? Will he go to college somewhere? Take over as CFO since the one they have is in prison?

Yeah I was offered that design on a renwal. NOPE

Reports of damage in the Houston area sound like that of a hurricane but without any storm surge. Some places may be without power for weeks. My sister lives in Houston. She did fine in Harvey, but froze when Cruz went to Cancun. I think her power was out for 4 days or so. They are saying weeks on ...

Sure, Eastman. You had nothing to do with the electors in AZ. Except for the whole idea of fake electors, sure. Now he'll double down on his begging for lawyer fees. I wonder if any of those AZ folks have set up begging accounts.

Dynamic cruise control is the best thing ever. And I love that I can change the speed on my steering wheel. I first had it on a minivan back in the day (it was a well-upgraded toyota - 2008ish) and I'd never have a car without it! When I have a rental car, it's the first thing I figure out.

We built our current house in 2010 (well, really 2009-10). I have always loved the look of dry stacked stone, so that's what I went for. We used natural stone. The masons were amazing - they just found all the right pieces to stack. They did use mortar, but then used a small stick to scrape out the ...

Ya know what, Mrs. Alito? MYOB.

I think Cohen is the last witness for the prosecution; he's now being cross examined by the defense. I expect the DA to do a re-direct (who knows if there will be a re-cross). If the DA rests, do we know who - if anyone - the defense has on their witness list?

Sad trombone there, Roodles. He's lost his radio show; no idea what kind of income he has, but he might need to change to Chapter 7 if he doesn't have any businesses left to reorganize.

What Andrew Rice says he says looks like a direct violation of the gag order, which I'm fairly certain includes "causing to be said" type language. Maybe Merchan gets a nice note from Mr Rice.

Menendez jury selection finished and opening statements are this afternoon. Inner City Press guy Matthew is covering. Here's a funny tweet from his thread.

not a cult. I guess they all forgot their armbands. Some funny person labeled this the "Reservoir Lapdogs."

CNN reported that as well.

Didn't Merchan warn them about that?

I think they have started jury selection for the Sen Bob Menendez trial. I somehow don't think any other senators are going to show up for this trial. I hope they find that these surrogates have indeed been directed by trump (they'll have to find a way around his slippery instruction style). I hear...

As we all know, the prosecution is pulling out all of Cohen's dirty laundry to remove that weapon from the defense. Yeah, he lied. A lot. So why believe him now? Because, back then, he was lying out of loyalty to Trump. He'd likely done that for years, for a variety of situations we'll never know ab...

Joyce Vance includes a lot of info about dates in this case. We know that the judge threw out the May trial date, saying that other matters had to be ruled on. That schedule is listed in this article. https://joycevance.substack.com/p/mar-a-no-go?utm_source=substack&publication_id=607357&pos...

I drove to several places in Miami and around Florida several years ago. I didn't have a pass. Just applying for the pass would have cost me $20. They did indeed send me a bill. The bill was for $18 and some change. They tacked a surcharge on the bill since I didn't have a pass, but the grand total...

Hot take from a bit ago on MSNBC: Laurence O'Donnell, in the overflow room (I think): T appeared to be looking at his papers, and the top paper appeared to be a picture of the crowd at his rally. Trump is in major need of binkies and blankies. Tuberville and Vance were some morning blankies, and no...

Can he stop running for president and just go on tour? It's all he really wants - the crowds and adoration.
They would be easy to schedule around his trials.

Some reporter needs to ask him if his Chicago property is worthless.

Worm/Cricket - 2024! there could be a lot of cute campaign posters!

Yep. It's bad - I think prosecutors are going for 12 years.
