		<description>And, of course, the illegal and immoral lawfare persecutions still continue against President &lt;B&gt;ELECT&lt;/B&gt; Trump..

:eyeroll:

&lt;B&gt; I think Merchan is desperate to stain the incoming president with the label convicted felon. And understand, under the law, Trump is not officially convicted of anything until he&#039;s formally sentenced, even though many in the media, of course, began immediately and incorrectly calling him a convicted felon when the jury verdict came in. 

That was the whole goal of indicting Trump and putting him on trial. Democrats assumed their politically driven lawfare campaign would destroy him. Instead, you know, it had the opposite effect. Voters saw it for what it was: a corrupt weaponization of the law, and it backfired spectacularly. 

Judge Jeanine: Juan Merchan is an anti-Trump judgeVideo
Many Americans recognize this was a sham trial, a preordained outcome. It drove a lot of them to Donald Trump and he won. And it&#039;s one of the reasons why these George Soros-funded progressive district attorneys have ruined major cities in blue states. 

Alvin Bragg is a prime example. If you&#039;re Trump, a misdemeanor business records violation somehow becomes a phantom felony. And in the end, nobody actually knew what he was convicted of. And it wasn&#039;t a unanimous jury verdict. The best we can tell, nobody really knows. A bedrock violation. 

Bragg goes after, you know, Good Samaritans like Daniel Penny or a bodega worker who dared to defend himself when he was attacked. And he goes after a politician for purely political reasons. This is what Alvin Bragg has brought to New York City. &lt;/B&gt;
-Gregg Jarrett

Ya&#039;all DO realize that all of the &quot;crimes&quot; against President Trump are ALL misdemeanors, right??

That to be considered felonies, there has to be ANOTHER crime involved..

Yet, NONE of you can point to that other crime...  Hell, Bragg himself doesn&#039;t even know what that other crime was...

Is there ANYONE here who actually believes that this persecution will ACTUALLY survive appeal???

Anyone???  

Yea, that&#039;s what I thought.. Because ONLY a brain dead retarded moron would believe that this lawfare persecution was anything besides election interference..

And Democrats are sooo incompetent that they couldn&#039;t even do THAT right..  Moron Democrats actually HELPED President Trump win the election!!

How utterly stoopid do Democrats feel right now!!  :D</description>

		<description>I see everyone is still feasting on sour grapes..

So much Trump/America hate in one room..

REAL Americans... PATRIOTIC Americans would hope that President &lt;B&gt;ELECT&lt;/B&gt; Trump would do well..  

But not Weigantians..  They would rather see America ground into the dirt, JUST so they can blame President Trump..  Sad...

Well, let&#039;s see what&#039;s happening in the realm of OBJECTIVE Reality...  :D

Seems Mark Zuckerberg has admitted that Basement Biden censored TOO much speech on Facebook....

The Zuck is tossing the Left Wing Propaganda &quot;Fact&quot; checkers out on their asses!!   :D  

Zuck now realizes that President Trump is what&#039;s best for America....  

What a great day for America....

What else is new..

Judge Cannon has slapped down Jack Smith...  AGAIN... Seems like Smith wanted to release his propaganda report and try to negatively impact President Trump&#039;s inauguration...

Judge Cannon said &lt;B&gt;&quot;Not on my watch, bitch!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;...  Or words to that effect..  :D

Poor poors Smith.. He&#039;s a luser from the git go and just can&#039;t spew his Trump/America hating BS..  :D  Love it...

President &lt;B&gt;ELECT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s election is ALREADY having consequences for Canada...  Trudeau tried to take on President &lt;B&gt;ELECT&lt;/B&gt; Trump and found President &lt;B&gt;ELECT&lt;/B&gt; Trump to be invincible..  

So Trudeau did what ALL hysterical Left Wingers do..  He ran away...  :D

So, Canada is moving to the Right..  Mexico caved in to President &lt;B&gt;ELECT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s tariff threats and said, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Whatever we can do for you President Trump, Mexico will do!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt; .... or words to that effect..

President &lt;B&gt;ELECT&lt;/B&gt; Trump is STILL winning!!!   :D

Speaking of WINNING, Speaker Johnson won re-election on the FIRST vote!!! 

After President &lt;B&gt;ELECT&lt;/B&gt; Trump read the riot act to GOP&#039;ers, Johnson sailed thru the election..  :D

And Democrats LOSE again!!!  :D

What a GREAT time for America, eh!?   :D</description>

The only inaction that can hurt the country would be to allow a government shutdown. Otherwise no news is good news out of this Congress, methinks.</description>

		<description>Will the inaction due to incompetence, infighting and unconstitutionality lead to more or less harm that the actions that actually take place?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Donald Trump plans to act on his own when he gets into office (there&#039;s a rather long list of things he promised &quot;on Day One&quot; in fact), but he&#039;s going to need Congress to act on many of his big agenda items. &lt;/i&gt; 

And remember also, America, that during his debate with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump said if he was reelected he would end the war in Ukraine &lt;b&gt;before his inauguration&lt;/b&gt;. He explained he will do this before taking office because he is respected by Ukraine and Russia&#039;s leaders.

&lt;blockquote&gt;That is a war that&#039;s dying to be settled. I will get it settled before I even become president. If I win, when I&#039;m president-elect and what I&#039;ll do is I&#039;ll speak to one, I&#039;ll speak to the other, I&#039;ll get them together.

~ Donald Trump, September 10, 2024, during debate with Vice President Kamala Harris &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Tick tock. Time&#039;s a wastin&#039;. 

The first promise to be broken by Lame Donald Duck is nigh. *laughs*</description>

		<description>Thanks for the preview, Chris. I wonder if you could comment on what Trump himself thinks Johnson and the Congress ought to do, relative to the &quot;two bills vs. one bill&quot; debate.

As we saw in the budget extension and Speaker election episodes, Trump (and Musk) showed no hesitation in inserting their opinions, wishes, commands, or threats into the internal business of the Federal legislature.

Surely he&#039;s going to do something similar in this area of strategic concern for his adminstration: how to pass a &#039;really big&#039; law as soon as possible? And will his interference be helpful or not? As you note above, several of the GOP trouble-makers or hold-outs may actually decide they are immune to this president&#039;s threats and power - Manchin being the example, again.

And what do the Democrats want to do about all this? Obstruct as the loyal opposition, or actually try to find compromise positions that would let some of them vote for a Republican bill and take the pressure off of Johnson in his sweaty attempts to keep EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE on board the good ship Trump Administration?</description>
