Democrats control the weather busses 

Actually several people there tweeted that the Democratic mayor of Coachella was the one responible as retribution to Trump for bring a rally to his city; and of course some of the lunatic right wing media picked it up and ran with it as a means of providing Trump cover. The sheriff actually had to come out and deny it.

Obviously they will try to blame Dems because that’s all they know.

Since I do criminal work, the simplest way to answer your question is that in cases where I know the Client is guilty, it has no effect on my representation of them (especially on appeal as they have been found guilty). As the preamble to the Texas Disciplinary Rules state: "In all professional functions, a lawyer should zealously pursue client’s interests within the bounds of the law. In doing so, a lawyer should be competent, prompt and diligent." That's my job. If the Client wants a trial (or has no other choice), then I will do what I legally and ethically can to obtain the best result I can . A trial is not a search for the truth. It is about what evidence the State can actually admit and ultimately what they can prove. For appeals, simplistically, it means that regardless of their actual guilt, I will thoroughly review their appellate record for potential issues to research that I can present on their behalf. 

 

Man, I don't know if I'll have the emotional ability to do what you do. Mad respect... 

You're first name's not Saul and last name's not Goodman is it?

This is insane and republicans don’t care. Yet if a dem said this they would rightly be up in arms about it. 
 

 

Depends on what Trump meant by the "radical left lunatics."  

In 2020 when the BLM riots were happening in LA, there were radical left lunatics and criminals exploiting that movement to loot innocent businesses. There were literal businesses that wrote on their boarded up windows and doors, "Black Owned Business. Please Don't Loot" or "We Support Black Lives." And many of the poor suckers who didn't got looted.  This went on for a couple days until the National Guard showed up with their heavy armed vehicles. Shit died down real quick.  As a law abiding citizen, I was ready for shit to go down with my guns.  But I was happier that I didn't have to use any of my weapons, and that law and order showed up in my neighborhood.  

I don't know if this is what Trump is talking about or if he's talking about the stuff the "Deep State" is supposedly doing.  Like I said, I saw a lot of shady stuff on Twitter during election night and the days following.  I also said I don't think there's enough evidence of enough voter fraud to overturn the election.  That doesn't mean it didn't happen.  Just because you see one cockroach in the kitchen that that's the only one in the house. Usually for every one you see, there's hundreds within the cracks and crevices. 

If there's election meddling, election interference, or straight up fraud, I think there should be some consequence for it. I just don't think Trump has the power to enforce it.  I don't even know if he had the power to enforce it the last time around. Literally every government institution is against him (maybe except the current supreme court).  

Anyway, if he means what you guys think he means, I'll be the first one to support you guys.  Free speech is an absolute right (except for threats of violence against someone or their livelihood).

It’s maddening how little ppl understand tariffs. The exporter isn’t shipping product without being paid first, so once it leaves their control, they’ve been paid. They don’t care if a 100% tariff is charged at the port and the end user never gets the product because they’ve been paid. 

Wouldn't the customers just see a hike in retail price and either the product doesn't get sold as quickly or the product sits.  And if the product doesn't sell, the retailer won't order more of these Chinese products.

If the price of the Chinese products are similar to American made products of better quality, wouldn't the average consumer opt for the American-made product instead of the now less competitive Chinese item?  I'm sure there will be some adjustment but don't you think it's better to have tariffs against countries that put tariffs on our products?  There will definitely be some inflation in the immediate future for Chinese made items but I think it's good for Americans to depend less on Chinese-made items and start supporting our own manufacturers. 

And it might incentivize other countries to take off their tariffs on American products so that trade will be more fair in the future. 

Feel free to disagree.

Every economist and serious businessman knows the Trump tariff proposals are completely stupid and would damage the economy and create massive inflation. 

 

It's not anything to debate.

 

The tariffs caused farmers massive bailouts because of Trump his first presidency

The music played for 30-40 mins with him just standing there

For 39 minutes, Trump swayed, bopped — sometimes stopping to speak — as he turned the event into almost a living-room listening session of his favorite songs from his self-curated rally playlist. He played nine tracks. He danced. He shook hands with people onstage. He pointed to the crowd. Noem stood beside him, nodding with her hands clasped. Trump stayed in place onstage, slowly moving back and forth. He was done answering questions for the night.

 

“Total lovefest at the PA townhall! Everyone was so excited they were fainting so @realDonaldTrump turned to music,” campaign spokesman Steven Cheung wrote on X. “Nobody wanted to leave and wanted to hear more songs from the famous DJT Spotify playlist!”

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris could sit down for an interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, whose audience leans heavily towards young men, as she works to shore up support with male voters, sources said on Monday.

 
Harris campaign officials, in the final stretch of the U.S. presidential campaign, met with Rogan's team this week but an appearance has not been confirmed yet, said two of the sources, who have knowledge of the matter.

 

Rogan, who runs the most popular podcast in the United States, has a highly coveted and devoted following that numbers in the tens of millions.

Fucking awkward, emperor has no clothes moment — 39 minutes of THAT?! If Harris or any Dem candidate for high office acted like this, it would be front page news. For a sharting 78 year old narcissist to make you listen to his playlist is just pure buffoonery. 
 

eta: “improvisation, like he’s John Coltrane” , is funny as hell. Not funny is the term sanewashing, that has come to identify all these interactions in trying to explain away Trump’s bullshit. Dude has slipped badly, and his dgaf nature — emboldened by craven repub ‘leaders’ — is on full display with no accountability whatsoever from the GOP.
