Donald Trump Jr calls Ireland’s proposed hate speech laws ‘insane’
By Niamh McGovern 05/01/23
“Donald Trump Jr has taken aim at Ireland’s proposed new hate speech legislation, labelling it “insane””.
“The eldest child of the former US president was responding to a Tweet highlighting aspects of the legislation, called the Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022.”
“The legislation is long awaited as Ireland does not currently have specific laws dealing with hate crime.”
“Responding to a tweet about the upcoming laws, Mr Trump Jr, whose father visits Ireland for two days this week, wrote: “It’s insane what’s happening in the ‘free world’.” “
Now why would Donald Trump, Jr. be concerned about hate speech in Ireland, just before his father visits that country?
Hmmm… let me think for a minute.

What's up with all this "Standing" business?
Trump told the Proud Boys to "Stand Back and Stand By".
In a letter to the House of Representatives, Trump's lawyers wrote, "'“DOJ should be ordered to stand down"'
Stand up, sit down. kneel down, stand up...
I feel like I'm 10 years old and back in Church or something.

- Donald Trump on Special Counsel, Jack Smith -
“He's a Trump hater. His wife's a Trump hater. His family's a Trump hater. They all hate Trump. They hate him with a passion," Trump whined of the Smiths. "They'll do anything they can to hurt Trump. But he's a harasser and an abuser of our people. In order to obstruct and interfere with the 2020 presidential election, that's why they're doing it. We're leading by a lot in the polls. If I weren't, I believe it would all stop, or if I weren't running, I believe it would all stop immediately, but that's not gonna happen. The public will not stand for this unequal treatment. Joe Biden is guilty. I am not at all. Thank you very much."
Um… Donnie?
2020 was three years ago.
“Hate him with a passion”? No, sorry, that was Tucker Carlson.

GET KICKED OFF A PLANE FOR AMERICA!
Lauren Boebert tells her MAGA mob to disrupt flights, even if it gets them kicked off a plane
by Carla Sinclair 11:07 am Thu Apr 27, 2023
"I will do what's right. I don't care if it costs me an election," the unhinged Colorado Qongresswoman shouted. "I don't care if the school principal gets mad at me, or the county commissioners get upset with me, or if the flight attendants kick me off the plane. I will do what's right and answer the call."
I have no idea what “call” she is answering.
The call of nature, perhaps?
She is full of it, after all.
Wait till a few of her followers get thrown in federal prison. Maybe people will stop listening to her.

I won't be surprised if some of these prosecutors and judges are attacked by MAGA Bomber types.
W.,
This goes all the way back to Cesar Sayoc, the pipe bomber in 2018.
"The Florida man who pleaded guilty to sending more than a dozen pipe bombs to prominent critics of President Donald Trump last year was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison.
Cesar Sayoc, an ardent Trump supporter, sent homemade bombs made of PVC pipe and glass shards to prominent Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama, as well as the actor Robert De Niro and CNN headquarters in New York, according to authorities."

The District Attorney in Atlanta, GA is writing letters to law enforcement authorities to start preparations now for possible civil unrest this summer and to take steps to protect the courthouse and its employees.
The judge in New York has to make jurors anonymous so they don't get death threats against them and their families.
The judge himself needs protection.
This is Mexican Drug Cartel stuff.
I can't believe its coming from a person who used to be the President of the United States.

"Souetre particularly mentioned what he termed de Gaulle’s “chief advisor,” Jacques Foccart, as being a witting collaborator of the Communists"
"Jacques Foccart also helped to create the Department Protection Security (DPS), security organization of the far-right Front National party led by Jean-Marie Le Pen."
Is it wonder why French politics are so bewildering?

Who should replace Tucker Carlson?
I nominate Marjorie Taylor Greene.
She's got the perfect mixture of right-wing outrage, Trump God/king worship, and wild conspiracy theories.

George Santos’ Mysterious Campaign Loans Somehow Get Even More Mysterious
"The latest filing changed four things about the more than $700,000 in questionable loans that Santos made to his 2022 campaign: the dates he made them, the dates they came due, the amounts of the individual loans, and the total amount."
“It somehow gets weirder.
Those back-to-back reports, with wildly different loan scenarios, were actually signed by the same person.
That would be the campaign’s new treasurer—one “Andrew Olson,” who replaced Santos’ old treasurer weeks after she resigned in late January. The Daily Beast and other news outlets have still not been able to confirm that Olson, whose name does not appear to be associated with any other federal campaign ever, actually exists. And the treasurer, or whoever completed those two reports, did not explain in the new filing what happened to that $40,000.
“Andrew Olson”—who made more than $100,000 in debts to entities other than Santos magically disappear in the filing before this one—has never been paid. At least according to this filing. Santos, however, paid his previous treasurer thousands of dollars a month, FEC records show.
“We have yet to see anything that points in the direction of his existence,” Libowitz said of Olson.”

Tucker Carlson out at Fox News
https://www.axios.com/2023/04/24/tucker-carlson-fox-news-out
“Driving the news: Carlson's last program was Friday April 21st, Fox News said, meaning Carlson did not get a chance to sign off to his viewers.”
“Details: "Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named," Fox News said in a statement.”
This is interesting.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WFXG) - You may have seen a bus driving through the Augusta area on Thursday with the words "Jesus, Guns, Babies" written on the side. That was Republican gubernatorial candidate Kandiss Taylor, who made a few stops in the CSRA to promote her campaign to become Georgia's next governor.
Jesus is shooting little babies now?

We are already in the food fight portion of the GOP primary
Analysis by Zachary B. Wolf, CNN Sat April 22, 2023
https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/22/politics/food-fight-republican-primary-what-matters/index.html
“According to CNN chief national affairs correspondent Jeff Zeleny, between the candidates sniping at each other and the candidate-aligned super PACs piling on there is already a "food fight" going on inside the GOP tent.
"With every passing election cycle, super PACs play a more prominent role," he continued. "It’s easier to raise money – without the federal limits imposed upon candidates."
"If the early months of the year are any indication, the 2024 campaign will push the limits even more, with outside groups far more important than political parties or, in some cases, even the candidates themselves," he elaborated.”
Politics isn’t even about political candidates themselves anymore. It’s a fight between superPacs with agendas of their own, funded by vast sums of dark money that we don’t even know where its coming from.

Yes, in the Tippit case. But my point was that police departments rarely dusted shells for prints. It would be interesting, of course, if there was evidence they did dust the shells found at the Tippit crime scene, and then pretended they didn't, as this could suggest they found a print that wasn't Oswald's.
Pat,
There very well may be evidence of dusting, it's just I've never seen it.
Heck, I could live with a Report that said, "We dusted the shells for fingerprints and didn't find anything useful", but I can't find any evidence that the DPD ever tested them at all.
And the WC seemed to go out its way not to ask Barnes about it.
I find that very, very weird.

I read quite a bit on fingerprints and fingerprinting a few years back and was surprised by much of what I learned. One surprising fact was that fingerprints are rarely found on shells--to such an extent even that crime scene investigators will frequently not even bother to dust them. As I recall, there were a couple of reasons for this. One is that the shells are small and curved and rarely pick up a sufficiently-legible print even under the best circumstances. Two is that the act of firing the bullet burns off some of the residue on the outside of the shell. As a consequence, then, the likelihood of finding a suspect's prints on a shell was less than 1 in 100.
Pat,
In this case, the suspect handled the shells after they had been fired.

To this day, this is something I will never understand.
Hello, Mr. Policeman?
I have some shells here. I saw a man shoot that policeman, and he shook these shells out of his gun.
He had these shells in his hand and he threw them over in the bushes over there.
Oh, well, there's a fingerprint guy over here and he's dusting the policeman's car for fingerprints and he has a fingerprint kit in his hands.
I'll just give these shells to him. We;ll run these prints and see if we can't find out who this shooter is.
