   Exactly what did the voters who cast ballots for Doug Jones do to “deserve” Tommy Tuberville?

   I have decided that tRumpy was indicted and his case is now being adjudicated in a court of law.

   I have sided with the rulings of the trial judge and the Nov 29 NY appellate court:

   ‘A New York appellate court has reinstated a gag order barring former President Donald Trump from making public comments about court staff in his ongoing civil fraud trial, siding with the judge in the case who imposed the order after Trump disparaged his clerk.’

   About your commentary on standing in front of walls to be shot: would you like some hot salted caramel sauce on all that hysteria that foamed out up there, Al ol’ boy?

   How DARE defendants in trial proceedings be forbidden to publicly threaten the judge, other court officials, witnesses, etc.

   ESPECIALLY when that defendant is a former president with tens of millions of passionate followers, no small number of whom have demonstrated their willingness to break the law — over 1000 have pled guilty, or been convicted in trial proceedings of misdemeanors and felonies — when spurred to action by that defendant’s public appeals for action by his followers.

   There oughta be a law protecting tRumpy speech intended to intimidate judges, court employees, probably jurors(?) — he_l, let’s add police to this list also.

   Who else should be protected this way? Republicans? Well, only Republicans who meet MAGA criteria, probably.

   After all, everybody knows democracy is in danger from anybody not MAGA.

   You managed to slip this comment past Smith. It isn’t ‘cause Smith was distracted or taking some time off when you posted it, though. It’s because s49nav is SUPER SMART!

   Artegal cites 1 of 3 opinions as being THE cause of the Crusades.

   Jews and Christians at the time were not the “JudeoChristianity” that would later become an almost exclusively USA trope:

   The Problem With the ‘Judeo-Christian Tradition’

   ‘The concept was always an unstable foundation on which to build a common American identity. …’

   And there is this:

   ‘_What were the three 3 major religious groups fighting over during the Crusades_?

   Three major religious groups all claimed Jerusalem in the land of Palestine as their holy city.

   To Christians, it was the place where Jesus was crucified and ascended to heaven.

   To Muslims, it was the place where Muhammad ascended to heaven.

   To Jews, it was the site of the ancient temple built by Solomon.’

   Shooting broke out in a retail center yesterday when a store employee shot at a person inside the store. Security cameras inside the store showed the employee firing his weapon at a teenager standing in an aisle in the electronics section.

   The bullet missed the teenager and instead hit and killed a woman thirty feet away, who was standing next to her husband and holding their one year old child.

   The husband pulled a gun from its holster on his belt and fired at another customer. He told police later that the Black man he shot at had been giving his family the evil eye some minutes earlier over in the produce section.

   A number of customers, alarmed by the shooting around them, started to run. A couple of customers collided with others who pulled guns their guns and started firing ‘in self defense’, they later told officers.

   By the time the ensuing gunfight ended, a total of 5 customers and 3 store employees had been shot. An estimated 30 rounds were fired by 12 people, who mostly limited their shots fired to only a single one . Police later stated they were grateful that the armed employees/customers did not totally panic and empty their magazines.

   Two people were fatally wounded in the gunfight. One, identified as HOTLOTUS1, was one of those killed. The gun he held in his hand was determined to have been one of the two which fired three rounds.

   A police statement said:

   HOTLOTUS1 fired his three rounds in just about one second, as security camera footage shows, before he was fatally struck by a stray round fired by someone sixty feet away with four aisles of merchandise shielding HOTLOTUS1 from his view. Two of HOTLOTUS1’s rounds fired resulted in one death and one minor injury to people just entering the store at the time, and neither of those people was armed. The third one went into the ceiling, probably the first one he got off. People get excited in these situations, few if any have any hot situation training whatsoever.

    A majority (getting slimmer as this election year progresses, unfortunately) of GOP CongressCritters knows tRumpy for who/what he is and desperately wants shed of him.

    They haven’t (two Senate impeachment opportunities) acted because they (rightfully) fear the fallout from the 70+ % of Republican voters who would vote for a sincere MAGA opponent to them the first election they get a chance to do so, and MAGA opponents would come spewing up in waves from sewers in every district.

    Also the not-necessarily-tRumpy Republican CongressCritters worry about how they will go about explaining the last 7 years or so if tRumpy actually does go by the wayside. Their best hope is a guilty verdict of something criminal a Georgia court that the USSC will upheld (not at all a certainty given at least 5 of the 6 RWNJ justices seated there).

    An explanation for the GOP base, including the majority RWNJ MAGA portion, should not be a reason for a single second of worry for McConnell or any of the rest of ‘em.

    Every time the FOX, Newsmax, Breitbart, The Gateway Pundit, The New York Post, InfoWars, The Blaze, The Daily Wire, The Epoch Times, The Daily Caller, etc., crowd hears something that was never said before that instant by one of these “sources”, their memories are instantly wiped of anything contradictory — even if those same sources made the contradictory statement earlier that day — and their new “knowledge” of events is what they just heard.

    RWNJ MAGA Republicans will forget they ever backed tRumpy, if he’s convicted of a criminal felony, the evening that court trial judgement is announced.
