Andrew Weissmann, former top prosecutor at the Department of Justice, Claire McCaskill, former U.S. Senator from Missouri, and Lisa Rubin, MSNBC Legal Correspondent join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with the breaking news that prosecutors have asked a judge to impose a gag order against defendant Donald Trump ahead of the hush money trial which is scheduled to begin next month.
Trump will never abide by any gag orders for more than a few hours. He needs to be thrown in prison for an attitude adjustment.
Trump has been telling us who he is his entire life.

Agreed. Treat him like Smirnov - detain him pending trial.

McConnell team in talks with Trump camp about possible endorsement
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) could be moving closer to endorsing former President Trump, a nod from an influential detractor that would serve as a powerful message for Trump.
Two sources familiar with the situation told The Hill that top lieutenants for the two GOP behemoths — Chris LaCivita, Trump’s campaign manager; and Josh Holmes, McConnell’s longtime top political hand — have held discussions in recent weeks about possibly thawing the freeze in their relationship and paving the way for McConnell to back Trump.
“We’ve reached the part of the primary where the party is coming together,” one source familiar with the discussions said.
“The absolute worst thing that can happen to this country is electing Joe Biden for four more years, and you can expect to coalesce around that point over the next nine months,” the source continued.

I don’t have a ready estimate, but we’ll go on a jag and have a few of a night as a snack with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. We’ll rotate in freshly boiled eggs as they dwindle, and top off the juice from newly emptied jars of pickled whatevers.

re: #1 Charles Johnson
This election will decide if Trump goes to prison. If Biden wins, he goes to prison.
…or he becomes the first populist dictator this country has ever seen, much more so than Andrew Jackson.
And with that populism untold amounts of corruption, hate, out-of-control state governors and sheriffs, state programs like Medicare and Social Security spiraling out of control with Trump-directed privatization the only “solution that can work.” This means historic amounts of corruption directly fed into Trumps personal corporations and businesses.
In short, this election will be if we become a largely Mafia state run into the ground by regional and local warlords or not, and vulnerable segments of the population targeted as the point and reason of failure.
Laura Ingraham ridiculed for asking: ‘Is Russia stronger now than it was under Trump?’
Pundit Laura Ingraham was raked Monday night over a strange question she asked on Fox News Monday night: “Is Russia stronger now than it was under Trump?”
The video, when it hit X, spurred the obvious response, noting Vladimir Putin, not Trump, is the nation’s president: “Russia was never under Trump.”
Syntactic errors aside, Ingraham appears to have been asking if Russia is now stronger than when Trump served as U.S. President, judging by the answer she gave to her own question.
re: #16 Joe Bacon ✅
When Fox says ‘stronger’ they mean that Russia invaded Ukraine on President Biden’s watch, so it’s his fault. Trump could end the war in 24 hours, mostly by giving Ukraine to Putin as a thank you gift.

If Trump wins McConnell will end up as America’s Franz von Papen.

Gov. Gavin Newsom faces another recall attempt in California
For the second time in three years, Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing the threat of a potential recall in California.
The governor on Monday morning was served with a notice of intent to recall, an effort launched by a conservative activist group called Rescue California. The group helped fundraise and gather signatures for the recall attempt of the governor in 2021.
Let these assholes try it again and select Larry Elder or Car Thief Issa as their recall candidate. Put that on the November ballot and that’s gonna piss us off even more to get to the polls and roast the f’n elephant.

Watching Rachel and she is going after closeted gays who oppose LGBTQ rights.
Some schools in Texas just don’t seem to know how to walk around the rakes:
A Keller high school production of The Laramie Project - a play about the aftermath of the 1998 murder of a gay student in Wyoming - was canceled.
Timber Creek High School parents received an email Friday night saying that students would no longer perform the show this spring. The email did not provide an explanation.
Community members are now rallying to reinstate the production, launching an online petition that has so far received more than 1,300 signatures.
“This play is a poignant depiction of queer history,” the petition reads. “By banning this play, we are not only suppressing an important piece of history but also denying our students a chance to understand and empathize with the struggles faced by the LGBTQ+ community. … It’s essential that our education system works towards creating awareness about these issues rather than shying away from them.”
In the brief email to families, school leaders said they are “working on developing an alternative production opportunity for our students.”
“We understand that it is unusual for a production change like this to take place. Students will still have an opportunity to read, discuss, and analyze the play during the school day,” they wrote.

Don’t know how much information you were asking for.
The White House maintains a small staff of technical experts in most major fields. Their job is to sort out the information received from government agencies and other sources. And to advise the President. These folks are often forwarded from the primary agencies responsible for that area of expertise.
Fiona Hill is an expert in Russia and Eurasia and served as a Intelligence Analyst. She testified on tfg’s behavior during the first impeachment hearings.

There are currently six MAJOR MAJOR election shaping stories playing out right now
• A Russian asset who is the GOP star witness in impeachment is in pretrial detention
• Ken Cheesebro detailed in writing that the fake electors were part of a coup
• Trump can’t pay his NY fraud trial or defamation trial judgments and will likely have his property seized
• Trump’s PAC could be hit with criminal charges in Wisconsin, which could kill his 2024 fundraising
• The GOP is broke going into an election year, and Laura Trump will steal the rest of their pennies
• Trump’s criminal trial in NY begins in less than a month
I don’t understand how there’s not wall to wall “Hillary’s emails” level news coverage.

I expect they will cancel the SOTU. Most likely because the government is shut down. That hapened before, with the excuse that they could not secure the Capitol properly.
But the GOP does not want Biden to have the undivided airtime. But, he can easily have the speech from the White House, and every network would cover it.

Joe should tell the GOP to fuck off and give the State Of The Union address at a Union convention.
I believe that Henry Barbour is Haley’s nephew.
Henry Barbour, a committee member from Mississippi, has sponsored two resolutions, one that would require the committee to remain neutral in the primary and another that would assure it does not spend committee funds to assist Mr. Trump in his legal battles. The proposals, which would not be binding even if passed, come as Mr. Trump seeks to install new leadership in the organization, including Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law, who has said she would be open to the committee paying his legal bills.
re: #72 Joe Bacon ✅
Joe should tell the GOP to fuck off and give the State Of The Union address at a Union convention.
They required a joint resolution from both the House and Senate to invite him. I would think it would require a joint resolution to disinvite him.
The government shutdown from Dec 2018- Jan 2019 overlapped Trump’s SOTU. Pelosi said that they could not provide enough security while the government was shut down and suggested they find another time after the shutdown was over. Trump initially was defiant and said he would give it no matter what. And he retaliated against Pelosi by saying she and a House delegation would not be allowed to use military aircraft to travel overseas.
She sent him a letter. He replied that he had checked with the Secret Service who told him there was no security problem and he would appear no matter what. She replied with a leter saying that the House would not vote on a resolution to actually let him use the House chambers for the speech. And Trump backed down.
But what would happen if the House rescinded its invitation and refused to pass a concurrrent resollution to use House chambers, but the Senate kept the invitation. Could Biden give a speech just to the Senate? Interesting.
