Below is my column in the New York Post on the developments in the pending Trump cases. I previously wrote that, if Trump prevailed in this election, it was likely that Special Counsel Jack Smith would “not see a jury in either of his cases.” This morning, Smith is reportedly in discussions on the possible dropping of his two federal cases against the president-elect. The prosecutorial campaigns appear to be collapsing with the political campaigns against Trump.
Here is the column:
After years of thrill-kill prosecutions, the thrill is gone for lawfare warriors.
Election Day’s greatest losers may be special counsel Jack Smith, New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Donald Trump’s victory was the largest jury verdict that some of us anticipated for years of unrelenting weaponization of the legal system.
Smith’s prosecutions ended with the 270th Electoral College vote secured around 2 a.m. Wednesday. His unrelenting efforts to convict Trump and then, when prevented from holding a trial, to release damaging material before the election have collapsed with the blue wall in the Midwest.
Trump has said he plans to fire Smith on Day 1. That means the end of both the January 6 and the classified documents cases.
That leaves James and Bragg as residue of long-forgotten lawfare battles, but even there Trump’s prospects look good.
James was able to secure a fellow lawfare warrior in Justice Arthur Engoron, who imposed a grotesque $455 million in fines and interest.
That ruling is pending an appeal that is expected to be a partial or even total victory for Trump.
Unlike Engoron, the appellate judges expressed great skepticism in September over the size of the penalty and even the use of this law.
Trump faced half a billion dollars in penalty in a case where no one lost a dime, and the alleged victim banks wanted more business with Trump and his company.
Separately, there is a hearing scheduled in front of Judge Juan Merchan for Nov. 11 on the “hush money” case involving Stormy Daniels, and a possible sentencing on Nov. 26.
If Merchan seeks to jail Trump, it is unlikely to be carried out, as Trump appeals the case and the many alleged errors committed by the judge.
Merchan made an utter mess of a case that should never have been filed, let alone tried. Even commentators like CNN’s senior legal analyst, Elie Honig, have denounced the case as a selective and unfounded prosecution.
The case should result in a conditional discharge with no jail time if Merchan can resist the temptation to unjustly punish Trump, a level of restraint that has largely proven difficult for him in the case.
Merchan created layers of appealable errors in the case. Putting those alleged errors aside, any sentencing to jail would create its own constitutional conflict with Trump’s performance of his federal duties.
The question is whether the election will bring a moment of sobriety for New Yorkers who have spent years in a full rage-driven celebration of lawfare.
While Trump did not prevail in New York, he came closer than any Republican in decades.
After this steady diet of politicized prosecutions in New York, Trump secured 44.3% of the vote, while Harris received 55.7%. In 2020, the margin was 23 points.
It is doubtful that the election will completely kill the appetite for lawfare in New York. As I wrote in my recent book, “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” “rage is liberating, even addictive. It allows us to say and do things that we would ordinarily avoid, even denounce in others.”
What people do not want to admit that is that they like the rage.
Rage addicts will continue to push James and Bragg to continue these unhinged campaigns. It is not prosecutorial — it is recreational.
We can only hope that James and Bragg feel a twinge of humility when their cases fall apart along with the Kamala Harris campaign.
And Merchan has the opportunity to use this brief sobering moment and issue a conditional discharge without home or actual confinement.
He can take judicial notice of Trump’s election as our next president and end this circus in Manhattan.
Instead of listening to the braying mob, he can act as a judge and tell New Yorkers, in the immortal words of B.B. King:
“The thrill is gone
It’s gone away for good
All the thrill is gone
Baby, it’s gone away for good…
I’m free from your spell
And now that it’s all over
All that I can do is wish you well.”

During the Cold War, Hungary was always the most interesting and independent Warsaw Pact country. Now it is at the forefront of promoting freedom against the Brussels mafia, the illiberal progressive blob of Europe. In that, Hungary and the populist movement in the US are kindred spirits, and Trump’s relationship with Orban is famously good. In this regard, Trump’s victory last night will have major implications for the future of Europe:
https://www.hungarianconservative.com/articles/opinion/maga-trump-orban-eu-us-hungary-relations-allies-new-chapter/
These people are totalitarian thugs. They are implacable enemies of a constitutional democracy; they will continue to be relentless in their aspirations for a one party state. Catastrophe has been averted but not eliminated. The ugliness will remain.
Kamala just admitted that her entire campaign was a LIE.
She said “the light of America’s promise will always burn bright”
Funny, because thats not what she was saying for the last month.
* burn bright? It’s double talk that means it’s going to burned down.
No, Kamala, not if there is a single good person left.
* to be
It’s always double talk…
Kamala the insurrectionist just called for her supporters to….
KEEP FIGHTING
Yes, the same thing that Letitia James said.
I found her speech to be vaguely threatening, no “I concede” and “I wish him the best.” Sounds like they want to lead the resistance like last time.
Remember the “summer of love”? She said that the rioters wouldn’t stop and shouldn’t stop. Then she started a bail fund to help them.
I think that we all dodged a bullet when she lost.
Trump’s decisive victory will help the country move forward.
It’s a beautiful day. A beautiful day.
Apparently, they are trying to sober Kamala up enough to give her concession speech – waiting, waiting, waiting
I can’t help thinking that Biden is rubbing his hands in satisfaction at the election result. “Serves them right for what they did to me.”
I’ll just place this here with no comment. Watch the video.
NY AG vows to be ‘ready’ for any attempts at retribution from 2nd Trump presidency
https://www.foxnews.com/video/6364310116112
America deserves to be rid of corrupt and traitorous pukes like her. She is the epitome of today’s democrat LAWFARE, and belongs in prison.
Letitia has suffered a full psychotic break. Just like the ladies on The View who really think there will now be internment camps, or that Trump is going to break up interracial couples. With these people it’s not just political differences, they have certifiable mental illness.
There won’t be internment camps? In the words of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes,
Three Generations of Imbeciles are Enough
– Buck v. Bell
Letitia should be scared. That foul mouthed POS should get whats coming to her.
Yep
Turley: you are really a piece of work. You pick up the BS monikers your deceitful employer uses. Tell us: Is it “lawfare” to prosecute someone who deliberately stole classified documents, refused polite requests to return them, lied about returning them, and moved them around to prevent them from being returned? WHAT OTHER US politician has ever done this, and WHY should it be OK? How about lying about losing in 2020, stirring up people to believe the lie, exhorting them to attack the Capitol to try to prevent the peaceful transfer of power and to sit back for over 3 hours while the angry mob broke doors and windows, assaulted police officers, defecated and urinated all over the building, hunting the VP and Speaker of the House, intent on killing them. Tell us: is it “lawfare” to prosecute someone for doing these things, and WHAT OTHER US politician has ever done this? If these things violate our laws,, and if Jack Smith, and Merrick Garland are abiding with their oath to preserve and protect the Constitution, how is that “lawfare”–which you imply is prosecuting someone for political reasons? For you to attack the integrity of these prosecutions because Fox pays you, is immoral. You are wrong.
Turley, you used your credentials and platform to bring about the disaster that is headed our way. So, the Trumpsters were going to “show” those of us who are educated and not racist, xenophobic, misogynistic and who oppose white supremacy and the Christian Nationalist agenda a lesson? OK–what’s the lesson–that you Trumpsters believe the daily diet of lies put out by MAGA media that has also indoctrinated you to disbelieve mainstream media? For example–did you fall for the lie that America is in decline? How about this–that, somehow, Trump is going to magically wave a wand and bring down the cost of groceries? Do you even understand economics? Did you “show us” that those of us who believed that Americans would oppose establishing another concentration camp 80 years after the last one are wrong? That we were wrong to believe that Americans really aren’t xenophobic, misogynistic, racist and who believe in and support NATO and oppose a mass murderer like Putin to be free to “do whatever the hell he wants” without America using its power to stop him? That taking Obamacare away from millions of Americans without any replacement will be a disaster? How about appointing demonstrably-insane RFK, Jr. to head up “health”–whatever that means. So, are we no longer going to immunize our kids against polio, measles, mumps, rubella, rubeola and hepatitis–meaning we’re going back to the bad old days when kids got sick and died of these diseases because a lunatic like RFK, Jr. is now in charge and he opposes immunizations? How about the Christian Nationalist “fetal personhood” law that will get passed that will negate all of the state level constitutional enshrinements of the right to abortion–despite the lies about it being a “state issue”? This means that more women will die of pregnancy complications while doctors are hamstrung. This is just for starters.
Yeah, you “showed” us all right. Let’s hope that you don’t depend on Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, which will receive massive cuts.
Svelaz, tell us when you have had carnal knowledge with a woman. We will wait.
That Trans dudette you met online from the corner of West Hollywood Lane and Meth Avenue doesnt count.
Well, that was fun. You don’t disappoint, Girly Girl.
Gigenius just “showed us all” what an ignorant sycophant serial lying psychopath looks like.
She thinks spying on a transition team and sabotaging the transition is a “peaceful transfer” of power.
Thank you for proving his point.
LMAO at Gigenius!!!
Nuff said.
“Lighten up Francis.”
Hey Gigenius, how about that popular vote?
How does it feel that the majority of Americans think you are a POS?
Natasha, cry more! Cry more! The American people voted and rejected you lies, your gaslighting, your lawfare! We stood in agreement to look you in the eye, point our finger at you and say, “No! More! We will not have your BS! We will not have your lies! We will not have your gaslighting! We reject you!”
Take it.
Deal with it.
We, The People, reject your lies.
Deal with it.
Kamala Harris concedes the election: ‘We must accept the results’

I am NUCHACHACHA; hear me, Roaarrrrr!!!
You go, girl.
If you can’t dazzle ’em with brilliance, baffle them with bulls—!
Oh, and be sure to take those mania/hypomania meds—PRIADEL; don’t leave home wiffout it.
Gigi spewed her hate at her host, Professor Turley: Turley: you are really a piece of work. You pick up the BS monikers your deceitful employer uses. For you to attack the integrity of these prosecutions because Fox pays you, is immoral. You are wrong.
Gigi, the column whose comments section you’re befouling wasn’t published in Fox News, which you continue claiming is your hosts employer. Why do you come here daily to insult Professor Turley, your host, and the normal Americans here? You change nobody’s mind, only a few of your fellow Soviet Democrat apparatchiks
That foul vagina on yours still on fire after the election, Gigi,Fire Hose Of Democrat Lies?
I’m mocking you, you cheap political whore, because you believed that if you lied often enough, hard enough, and could fearmonger well enough, you could help either of the other cheap political whores you support win the election. Whether it was President Daddy-Daughter Inappropriate Incest Showers or Calloused Knees Kackala.
There may be some entertainment value to seeing what you post in the coming months after Trump doesn’t become a dictator, doesn’t throw you and Baghdad Bob McIntyre in concentration camps, etc. that you’re fearmongering lies claim he will be once elected.
I think this is a meltdown in print.
Gig,
Supreised you are willing to show your face after having been repudiated so forcefully.
As Turley stated correctly – yesterday was the largest jury verdict in history, Trump was aquitted and those of you on the lunatic left were found GUILTY.
With respect to your remarks – as is typical they are FALSE.
No one charged Trump with theft of classified documents. Smith ceded that did not occur. Trump obtained the documents legally as president or as the result of lawfully order given as president.
That should have stopped EVERYTHING in florida – as Judge ABJ ruled in 2012 – Presidents may take classified documents with them when they leave office4 and keep them in their sock drawer if they wish. They are THEIR property and no one in government has any legal authority to take them. PERIOD.
This was the LAW prior to the raid on MAL.
It is the left that violated the rule of law.
” WHAT OTHER US politician has ever done this”
Joe Biden actually stole Classified Documents. Hillary Clinton actually stole classified documents, Sandy Berger actually stole classified documents John Deutch actually stole classified documents. To name just a few.
“WHY should it be OK?”
Because there was not theft, and those documents were Trump’s property.
” How about lying about losing in 2020,”
There is an interesting bar chart an X right now. It it a chart of the number of “votes” for Republicans and democrats for president since 2012.
The total Bar for blue votes – democrats is EXACTLY the same height in 2012, 2016, and 2024,
The bar for republican presidential candidates rises evenly from 2012 through to 2024.
The only disruption to this trend is 2020 – when by magic Biden gets far more votes than any democrat ever.
That would be Joe Biden – someone Obama called a F#$K up. That would be Joe Biden who ran a campaign from his basement.
In an unbiased court of law that would be very difficult to refute evidence of FRAUD.
Though you will not credit him – Trump’s campaign in 2024 was 3d chess – it was masterful.
In 2016 Trump had to win the electoral college.
In 2020 Trump expected and got more votes than any republican ever – fully consistent with past Trends.
He had no reason to beleive that he would not be relected easily. Biden was a far worse candidate than Hillary,
and he was more popular than ever. The polls were not close to right in 2016 there was no reason to beleive tem in 2020,
And even the fraud that was 2020 still proved they were way off.
But he was caught off guard by nearly 1 Million illegally harvested mailin ballots.
In 2024,
Trump had to
Win the electoral college.
Win the popular vote
And significntly blunt the fraud
Not to mention dealing with the massive lawfare of the left.
Trump is nearly at 300 EC votes – far more than he needs,
Alaska, Nevada, and Arkansas are still outstanding and will go for Trump.
Trump will win by close to the 340 EC votes that left wing nuts were claiming Harris would.
Trump appears to have won the popular vote by almost 3% – that is 3% more than the polls.
Once again the polls under estimated Trump significantly.
Finally – Trump had to blunt the democrat fraud machine.
He was able to shame Zuckerberg into Funding election rigging.
While we still have not returned to the lawful elections prior to 2020,
Trump was able to restore SOME election laws back to where they were and
where he could not shine enough light to radically raise the risk.
The surge in Republican Mailin and early voting – at near parity with democrats – meant there could be no late nite suprise dumps of hundreds of thousands of mystery ballots.
EVERYONE Knew that there was close to parity in early voting. That meant huge disparities would stick out like a sore thumb.
Further Trump supporters volunterred as poll watchers in huge numbers,
Counting was suprevised – as the law requires, There were no unattended ballot boxes without CCTV.
In some instances Trump supporters secreted wildlife trail cameras near ballot drop boxes. While some courts ordered this stoped – it did not matter.
In multiple ways Democrats were made painfully aware that 2024 would NOT be a repeat of 2020.
That if they cheated they would be caught.
There is always some fraud in elections – contra the left,
and the way we conduct elections today is embarrassing and we must fix it.
It is not reasonable to expect that rpublicans will maintain the vigorous private oversite of elections they did in 2024.
We must fix our laws, we must reign in badly conducted elections.
But until then – republicans will remain vigalent.
and sunlight is a major prophylactic for fraud.
Regardless, no Gigi -= it is ever more unlikely that Joe Biden won 2020.
As to the other nonsense – very little that occured on J6 was illegal.
People have the right to protest elections – democrats are already upset over this one.
Most of us are worried that we will see a repeat of 2016 or worse the summer of 2020 between now and the inauguration.
in 2020 power was peacefully transfered. There was no insurrection, no coup, no armed revolt.
There were no molotov cocktails, no ar15s no firearms no forozen water bottles. None of the things left wing nuts bring to their typical riot.
It is self evident that no one came to J6 with the intention of rioting – much less insurecting.
Trump supporters would have been happy if Pence had done as he was constitutionally permitted and asked congress to cvonside alternate electors in challenged states.
Buty he did not – despite the FACT that has happened before.
BTW certifying the election is NOT the peaceful transfer of power.
That occurs on inauguration day.
Beyond that much of your claims have been debunked – no J6 protestors deficated or urinated in the capital – that actually occured during the Kavanaugh protests.
No one was hunting the VP – the Gallows democrats fixate on say “this is art” and is made of poster board, twine and the small lath that park regulations allow for posters.
It would not hold 20lbs much less Mike Pence.
Jack Smith and Merrit garland are not abiding by their oaths. Garland has lied under oath.
Of course these prosecutions should be attacked – they are political.
You have sold yourself. You have sold the left wing media. But you have not sold the american people.
” So, the Trumpsters were going to “show” those of us who are educated and not racist, xenophobic, misogynistic and who oppose white supremacy and the Christian Nationalist agenda a lesson?”
NO Voters showed YOU – the abysmally educated, incredibly racist, lunatic left a lession.
A major part of that lesson – which you clearly failed to learn is
Don;t call everyone who disagress with you uneducated and racist, xenophobic, misogynistic white supremacist, …
Calling half the country names is stupid if you are right and stupider if you are wrong.
You are free to beleive in and support NATO.
Just as others are free to chose not to.
That is part of why we have elections.
But this is not a Binary. Trump is not leaving NATO. Nor is he leaving Ukraine high and dry.
There wll be a pace deal, and the US well slowly cede leadership of NATO to europe.
It is Europeans job to take the lead in defending Europe – not the US.
Americans have had to deal with despots like Putin all the time. – Erodigan is an ally – and a NATO member.
MBS is no saint – nor was the shaw before the Ayatolas. South Lorea was a distatorship until the 90’s.
No Putin can not “do whatever he wants”
But Just as the US can say – Cuba will not have missles,
Russia can say – nations on their border will not join NATO.
I doubt that Obamacare is going away – but it should.
It is costing $2T/decade for ZERO value – worse it drives up healthcare costs.
As ot a replacement – there is ALWAYS a replacement – it is called the FREE MARKET.
And it ALWAYS delivers what we want and need at the most affordable price possible.
John Say posted: It is Europeans job to take the lead in defending Europe – not the US.
American governments aren’t going to willingly cede leadership of NATO to the European nations. Whether the government of the day is Democrat or Republican. NATO is primarily for OUR interests, not those of Europe, which are secondary. We tolerate where they fall short because in the whole they are valuable for both national security and foreign policy. The collapse of the Soviet Union has arguably minimized the nuclear threat, but it continues from Putin and elsewhere. Since Korea, NATO nations have fought beside us in America led wars from the Korean War, the Gulf War to Afghanistan and Iraq.
And if push comes to shove, if we or our interests are attacked, we prefer that we fight that fight on somebody else’s soil and among their citizens, not ours here at home. The Korean War is just one example of that.
OAD – What you say MAY prove correct.
What is absolutely true – shich is the core of what I said is that the US – the american people Decides based on OUR interests.
Personally I think you are wrong – the utility of US leadership of NATO – as opposed to US membership diminishes as the threat posed by Russia diminishes.
It is quite clear that so long as the US provides nuclear deterance and assures that Europe can not be blackmailed over energt – Europe can handle Russia without our help or atleast with only material aide from the US.
I would also suggest that this is part of a bigger move. The US is likely moving to ceded responsibility for everything from the bottom of Africa to the top of Norway to Europe – except continued support for Israel.
Trade between the US and Europe is way down, (excpet the UK). It is Europe that F#$Ked up Africa (and the mideast),
The US no longer needs mideast energy.
Changes in the US navy over the past 40 years means we have unmatched ability to project power.
At the expense of no longer being able to guarantee global freedom of the sees.
Let the UK and France deal with freedom of the seas in the east atlantic, the mediterainina and aroound through the gulf.
The US will take responsibility for the western hemisphere and the pacific rim.
This is both where I think we are goingmilitarily nd where we are going diplomatically, and where we are going with respect to trade and national interests.
There is not that much different from a US perspective between Putin invading Ukraine and all the different groups fighting over north africa.
Ukraine is NOT in the US interest – it is in Europes interest.
These are MY assessments of US interests.
I beleive they as Similar to Trump’s.
Yours appear to be similar – but not identical.
We just elected Trump – it is HIS assessment of US interests that will decide what we do.
My GUESS is that We see Trump negotiate an end to the Russia/Ukraine war rapidly and easily.
I think most anyone can guess the likely deal. But it does not matter – that is Trump’s job – not mine.
And I have little doubt he is quite capable.
The nonsense form left wing nuts that peace his impossible or hard is nonsense.
What we are seeing in Ukraine resembles WWI shortly before the US entered the war.
And rather than Make Wilson’s mistake and jump in with both feet on the side of Ukraine F#$King up europe and leading directly to WWII.
All we need to do is to get tow boxers both ready to collapse to call it a draw. It is more complicated than that – but honestly not alot.
Trump should have negotiated a free trade deal with Johnson after Brexit – I do not know why that did not happen – that would have been a win win.
Trump is unlikely to get the easy deal with Starmer, so he will have to wait for Labor to lose the next eleciton – and deal with PM Farage.
Not the stupid RFK jr. is an antivaxer nonsense.
RFK jr. has PUBLICLY state many times he is not “antivax”
He has kids he CHOSE to vaccinate them.
What he wants is more parental choice.
My daughter was adopted from China – they vaccinate differently there.
We insisted that she be tested for prior immunity before being vaxinated – as double vaccinating kids is dangerous.
Turned out she had received SOME but not all standard vaccinations. We had to fight with doctors and the state and pay extra to get her vaccinated ONLY against those things she was not already immune.
Several times she was tested for TB – each time the test gradually shifted towards testing positive . Why ? Because China uses a BCG TB vaccine. After you are vaccinated you will eventually test positive for TB. We had to AGAIN pay extra to get a blood test for TB to prove she did not have it.
I am not a huge RFK jr. fan – I am also not stupid enough to call him insane.
I highly doubt he can accomplish what he claims he will with HHS.
But I am more than willing to let him try.
HHS is not a constitutionally legitimate of necescary agency anyway.
As you women are constantly saying – your health is between you and your doctor.
We do not need a government agency meddling.
But lets presume that RFK jr. was a virulent antivaxer.
What prevents you and your doctor from choosing to vaccinate your children ?
As to “fetal personhood” – in most if not all states, if you kill a pregnant woman you are guilty of a double homocide.
If you cause an abortion without the womans permission you are guilty of homocide.
BTW there is no right to an abortion – those of you on the left keep spouting that nonsense.
The right in question is control of your own body – which you SHOULD have the right to – except that the progressive Holmes court ruled against that 100 years ago in Buck v. Bell – which is STILL unfortunately good law.
Last night – 5 of 6 states passed ballot initiatives rollnig back some abortion restrictions.
Those same voters then voted for Trump.
That is actual democracy in action.
The prenancy date rate of women post roe has not changed from pre roe.
Trump has promised to protect SS and Medicare.
But any rational person KNOWS that is not going to last.
SS and HI are 54T short in funding.
I would like to see Trump address this NOW,
We MUST some time.
The longer we wait the worse it wll be.
But he is not. And everyone know is – you are just lying.
Btw, there are people actually allergic to TB tests. They can only have x-rays to verify. Believe it or not.
“Until this moment, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Let us not assassinate others further, You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?”
Joseph Welch
Oh gosh Gigi are we going to see another explosion of your head?
Watching MSM turn on Harris from everything from picking the wrong running mate to her lack of substance policies to dodging interviews only shows how much MSM is willing to throw Harris under the bus. All the more reason why not to have any confidence in MSM.
How marvelous!
Exactly – they changed from “Harris is wonderful” to “Harris is terrible” in a heartbeat. If they really felt the way they do now about her, they should have said so before, instead of lying to the American people.
Of course they did. They changed from Biden is competent to he is not overnight too.
There is an excellent peice in RealClearPolitics by Lanny Davis basically saying it is time for liberals to divorce progressives.
That this Woke stuff is toxic.
While I have quibbles with bits – he is on the right track – he is echoing Derschowitxz and Weiss and Turley.
Harris made many tactical errors.
But the big problem – reflected in exit polls was the left had gone too far.
We NEED TO FIGHT Democrat FASCISM! So they NEVER again DARE TO DO what they have done for 12 years now!
Jail Criminal Democrats/RINOs by 1000’s across gov., Judges, congress, etc), media, healthcare, tech, etc for their crimes
1) persecution of Trump and his people
2) helping Illegals
3) protecting Bidens and their people
4) Sex change of minors
5) Cheating on voting
6) Taking Bribes
The Thrill is gone.
I’m beginning to think you really are from Sweet Home Chicago
CNN contributor Scott Jennings summarizes the meaning of Trump’s victory about as well as it is possible to do . . . and leaves the rest of the CNN panel speechless:
https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1854226554655498693
@oldmafromkansas – re-X video. He just slapped them in their face with their part of how they’ve lied and deceived Americans. The quick view of their faces show how oblivious they are to what he’s just said. I have no confidence that the New Democrat party will embrace President Trumps attempts to pull the nation from its downward spiral. If President Trump hopes to see success he must clean house from appointments going back to the Obacala administration. Appointment #1 the toughest most knowledgeable conservative AG in America because – they are coming.
Very good
In spite of whupping the “New Democrat” party suffered last night at the hands of Americans I guarantee you they still haven’t got the message.
I think E Jean Carrol better hold off on any shopping spree’s.
@Margot
Agreed. I am hoping that particular contingent is relegated to obscurity. But you aren’t wrong. No fairness, no grace, no care for our society. The modern left is a pox.
the appellate judges expressed great skepticism in September over the size of the penalty and even the use of this law.
Apparently the Associated Press is now expressing skepticim about 🐪 being a legitimate presidential candidate. It seems skepticism has become all the rage in America.
Democrats hoped Harris would rescue them. On Wednesday, she called Trump to concede
Although Harris pitched “a new way forward,” she struggled to meaningfully differentiate herself from the unpopular sitting president. In addition, she had limited time to introduce herself to skeptical voters, who never cast a ballot for her in a presidential primary
https://apnews.com/article/kamala-harris-donald-trump-election-ddeae9fb378530159201ef4196cba9b3
. . . she struggled to meaningfully differentiate herself from the unpopular sitting president
Wait, what? She purposely did not struggle to do that. She purposely did exactly the opposite. When asked what she’d do differently, she said, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” The Associated Press must be reporting news from a different galaxy.
OT
WAAHHHH, WAAHHHH!

@selinawangtv
Donors, surrogates, and campaign aides I’ve spoken to this morning have told me they’re “shocked”, calling the results a “bloodbath”, “awful” and “pretty f****** brutal.”
Several have said that there’s nothing Harris could’ve done differently – that she did the best she could’ve with the cards she was dealt.
One campaign aide telling me the fundamentals were “really bad”. The swing towards Trump was so large that “this clearly wasn’t about individual campaign decisions.” This source adding that most incumbent parties in the world lost post-covid.
today – “Trump is also meeting with donors at his private club, the sources said.”
What? trump is talking to donors? They are probably just talking about the weather right? They certainly wouldn’t be expecting favors would they?
OMG this is the biggest story in 200 years, no politician has ever met with donors before. This is certainly the end of America, oh no!
“What? trump is talking to donors? They are probably just talking about the weather right? They certainly wouldn’t be expecting favors would they?”
Given that Biden/Harris donors vastly exceeded Trump’s donors with what they gave The Big Guy and Kakala, that begs the obvious question to bitter Anonymous Democrats:
What did Planned Parenthood, teachers union, and federal public service unions who were donors to Obama/Biden, then Biden/Harris, and now Harris/Walz expect from all of them in exchange for the hundreds of millions of donations they gave back to the Democrats through the revolving door after receiving federal funding?
More American taxpayer money?
The Biden admin has been interfering with the Trump Transition team from the start – so much for peaceful transition of power.
They are making demands they are not entitled to.
In response the Trump transition teams has told them to pound sand.
The law obligates government to provide assistance to the winning presidential candidate – it does NOT obligate the winning candidate to accept that assistance with tons of strings attached.
Trump is using private donations to replace public transition funds so that he need not be forced into whatever Team Biden wants.
I am fine with that.
Trumps transition team is being denied security clearances and National security briefs.
So they have done what Trump did during his presidency because he did not trust the national security aparatus.
He is contracting with private natioal security think tanks who do a better job cheaper anyway.
Federal charges against Trump have been dropped:

A de facto admission that those cases were nothing by attempted political interference.
Put the commie perps on trial. Change the venue to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
“election interference”
Dennis McIntyre’s dropped this Daily Deuce yesterday: Jonathan: it’s deja vu again
Oh yes indeed, Baghdad Bob. Remember how Trump crushed Killary and you Soviet Democrats in 2016, despite the illegal lawfare and barrage of felonies in the creation and use of your “Trump Russia Dossier”?
How sweet it is, Dennis. And it’s just beginning.
How many SCOTUS judges will Trump appoint this time?
Maybe Mr Smith is bringing his CV up to date with his “latest and greatest legal moments”.
Of course Mr Trump and his minions could take a page out of the Democratic playbook and draw up a list a people who will immediately have Office of the President Letters to any potential new employers about the potential splash of garbage and trash that might accumulate around these “public servants” in any new digs. Maybe suggesting new investigations in the pipeline about collusion, and illegal coordination between the Biden White House and all these state AG’s and county DA’s about their lawfare and “Trumped up charges”, Lie’s about computers, defrauding the public
I like to forgive and forget, shake hands, say “good game” and move on. I would suggest that be used in the US Senate and US House irregardless of who controls them except to demand Nancy Pelosi move on and out of Politics as the single non negotiable requirement. Her poison serves no purpose and has no redeeming value. Her hate rivals that of Cato the Younger in Rome and she yet could damage the Republic or destroy it with her hate if she stays close to power.
As far as the state of New York is concerned, I think the new President and the Governor there should have a real heart to heart talk about the damage an enraged President can drop on a state and that civil discourse might see a revival there.
I like a peaceable result for the good of OUR country and now would be the time for the Mainstream Media News to strike a low profile and let the people and politicians some time to pause, reflect, cool off and start talking instead of screaming.
It could be such a refreshing change. An “Era of Good Feelings” maybe??
“I like to forgive and forget, shake hands, say “good game” and move on.”
Agree up to a point. However, I don’t think that Pelosi is the only public serpent who needs to be tarred and feathered to the extent that she can never slither back to try to bite the Republic in the a$$ again.

I would be thinking of going far beyond tar and feathering for her. But I will leave it at that.
