Are we sure he wrote the former? He spelled 'stolen' correctly.
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

Residents push for renaming of Trump Plaza to disassociate from ex-president
Tenants of the high-rise in New Rochelle, New York, want to abandon the name which has at times affected real estate value

Adam Gabbatt

While Donald Trump endures the ignominy of being the first former US president to face criminal trial, there is further humiliation brewing, with a movement to strip the Trump name from a building in his home state.

Residents at Trump Plaza, a 40-story high-rise in the suburban New York city of New Rochelle, are pushing for the building to be renamed and to escape a near-two decade association with the legally-troubled ex-president and real estate mogul.

It would follow the slew of buildings in New York City and elsewhere that have abandoned the Trump name since he entered politics, as Trump has become a divisive, much-loathed figure by liberals even as he is loved by his fans.

Owners of Trump Plaza apartments – there are 194 units – are in the middle of a vote which would further erase Trump’s name – something which would not just have implications for the people who live in the building.

Trump Plaza is located in the center of New Rochelle, a couple of blocks from restaurants and the local movie theater. Renaming the building would spare residents and workers in this racially diverse city of 80,000 people from encountering, at least visually, the Trump name.

Some people would be pleased with that.

The names we’re hearing tossed around. Paul Manafort. Rick Gates. Roger Stone. Steve Bannon. All names we’re hearing in reference to the ‘24 campaign. What do they all have in common? They’re all felons. Of course.

Donald Trump‘s inner circle doesn’t expect the Supreme Court to go along with his extreme arguments about executive power in the immunity case before the justices. But what the high court does now is almost beside the point: Trump already won.

Three people with direct knowledge of the matter tell Rolling Stone that many of the former president’s lawyers and political advisers have already accepted that the justices will likely rule against him, and reject his claims to expansive presidential immunity in perpetuity. Bringing the case before the court — after a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., shut down their arguments on executive power — was a delaying tactic designed to push Trump’s criminal election subversion trial past Election Day this fall. The strategy paid off so much more than MAGAworld anticipated.

“We already pulled off the heist,” says a source close to Trump, noting it doesn’t matter to them what the Supreme Court decides now.

As I saw Joyce Vance argue, the justices need to be presented with a hypothetical where a president decides he doesn't like the decision of certain Supreme Court Justices and orders them to be arrested - or even assassinated because they are "enemies of America." Bring it home for them.

I listening and they are getting deep in the weeds and seems like the justices are looking for a narrow ruling. A lot of talk about distinguishing between "official acts" and "private conduct."

Except the conservatives don't seem to believe that anything a President does as long as (s)he is in office could possibly BE private conduct.
There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.
