BAIL DENIED: Experts Say Trump Could Rot in Jail

Tommi Lahren sounds off on 'flimsy case' against Trump

 BAIL DENIED: Experts Say Trump Could Rot in Jail • Liberty Hub

Can you even imagine the response from the American people?

"The placidity of the weekend was shattered on Saturday when news broke that former President Donald Trump was anticipating arrest on Tuesday, as part of the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation of alleged “hush money” payments to adult actress Stormy Daniels.

"Trump himself was predicting the peril, asking his followers to make their voices heard and “take back our nation” from the Deep State forces that were targeting him.

"Now, one legal expert is suggesting that the former Commander in Chief could be denied bail after his arrest on account of his ability to invoke a response from his base.

Trump claimed on his Truth Social account that the Manhattan DA’s office will arrest him on Tuesday –  and branded the probe ‘corrupt and highly political’, calling the alleged hush money payment an ‘old and fully debunked fairy-tale.’

Glenn Kirschner, an MSNBC legal analyst, has compared the all-caps rant to his posts leading up to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 – and said it could affect the terms of his release.

He speculated that a judge could interpret Trump’s post as an attempt to incite a crowd to riot – raising the specter of him being held behind bars to prevent him posting further inflammatory communications ahead of any trial.

"Hershey Canada’s International Women’s Day campaign was met with ire and criticism after the company decided to include Fae Johnstone, a transgender woman, on chocolate bar wrappers with four women. Johnstone is a professional LGBTQ+ advocate and award-winning activist, according to Forbes. In response, #BoycottHersheys began to trend on Twitter.

“ 'As a 25 year old trans woman of South Asian heritage with lived experience,” Johnstone writes, “my work comes from a place of understanding that my communities (trans/2-spirit/gender non-conforming, sex-working and/or drug-using) are at the highest risk of violence.”

Biden: Spending Hundreds of Billions in Fed-Printed Money Does Not Cause Inflation

 

Norman Rockwell: Cartoons - American Thinker

President Joe Biden claimed that Democrats’ policies have not contributed to the highest inflation rate in 40 years.
“I’m sick of this stuff. We have to talk about it because the American people think the reason for inflation is government spending more money. Simply not true!” Biden said at a House Democratic retreat in Philadelphia on Friday.

Georgia Dems reportedly less than thrilled that Stacey Abrams wants to run again -

Bobby Kahn, the former head of the Democratic Party of Georgia, suggested Abrams would lose if she ran again and told the AJC it was time for her to move on.


 American Thinker  "I wonder how many Georgia Democrats have going through their minds the old classic from Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks, “How can I miss you if you won’t go away?”

"Laurel Duggan reports for the Daily Caller News Foundation:

Former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has floated the idea of running for office again after her last two failed campaigns, but some state Democrats are ready for her to move on, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Abrams‘ 2022 campaign outraised her rival, Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, by $8 million, with the vast majority of donations coming from out of state, but ran out of money, lost the race and is still facing major debts. Despite her 2018 and 2022 losses, Abrams has not ruled out a third run for governor, prompting worry from some Georgia Democrats, according to the AJC.

“I will likely run again,” Abrams said in January. “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again. If it doesn’t work, you try again.”

Bobby Kahn, the former head of the Democratic Party of Georgia, suggested Abrams would lose if she ran again and told the AJC it was time for her to move on.. . .

Twelve reasons things are not going well in America

 Twelve reasons things are not going well in America - American Thinker

"Anyone paying attention to the news, even if following only mainstream outlets, knows that something is terribly wrong in America. Day by day it becomes more and more evident that a large portion of our citizenry does not comprehend the enormity of the pickle we are in.

"Author Yuval Levin opens his 2020 book, A Time To Build, with this observation:

We Americans are living through a social crisis. This is a straightforward fact, and easy to see. And yet part of this crisis, one of its symptoms, is that we can’t seem to get a handle on what it is that’s wrong. It’s sometimes even hard to tell whether the rage, foreboding, a despair that so often shapes the national mood are themselves the essence of the problem or are marks of a deeper dysfunction.

"Amen.

‘Absolute moron’: Douglas Murray slams CNN anchor for ‘racist hatred’

Comment to this post: "As an American, I cannot apologize enough for the moronic media we are stuck with here in America. Yes, they are ignorant, hateful and money hungry. Queen Elizabeth was loved by millions of us and we send love, prayers and our apologies for the morons that waste the airwaves."

Comments to this post:

"Mr. Murray's claims about America's give me cash mentality is dead on. I'm American and I'm sickened by my countrymens rush to claim victimhood at every turn. We are in a downward spiral due to this mindset. Bless your country and your right thinking citizenry. And God bless the Queen.

Thank you for restoring my faith in my country. I've heard so many terrible things about us that it's become overwhelming, to the point where I apologise the minute I speak for some crime or other.
It's exhausting, mentally and emotionally, to feel responsible for things done so many years ago, despite knowing that we have made reparations and apologies already. Enough is enough.
Thank you to everyone who has written something lovely about us, our country and especially our late Queen.
