Trump is a traitor and his Republican enablers are pathetic pussies: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/ ... 072964007/

Washington – President-elect Donald Trump abruptly rejected a bipartisan plan Wednesday to prevent a Christmastime government shutdown, instead telling House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans to essentially renegotiate – days before a deadline when federal funding runs out.

...

The president-elect made an almost unrealistic proposal that combined some continuation of government funds along with a much more controversial provision to raise the nation's debt limit – something his own party routinely rejects. “Anything else is a betrayal of our country,” they wrote.

...

A number of Republicans were waiting for Trump to signal whether they should vote yes or no.

“This should not pass,” Musk posted on his social media site X in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.

They should let them shut it down. Make Trump own it.

Another brilliant idea, they'd have to cancel inauguration, transition, secret service... Actually it's a brilliant idea.

Six of 15 electors in Michigan are charged with felonies from 2020 - I wonder how many of the orange chode's electors are in the same boat?

Wahoo… Trump has not ruled out taking Greenland or the Panama Canal by military force and wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America”…. It was named in 15 fucking 69… for gods sake he’s insane.

wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America”….

What will he do about the state of New Mexico, Mexico Beach FL or Mexicantown in Detroit.

And Lake Ontario?

He's just waving his hand around while Steven Miller and Trump Co pilage the country. Classic distraction.

And Lake Ontario?

Re-name it Lake Trump. Problem solved.

Driving through TN, earlier this week, saw a giant billboard with a picture of Trump, promoting the Trump Superstore.

"Everything Trump . Everything MAGA"

I'm betting the Trump Bibles and the Trump fragrances would be big sellers.

The slogan: "You TOO can smell like a diaper full of shit!!"

Three cheers for Chief Justice Roberts and ACB for standing up to the dictator in waiting!

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday denied President-elect Donald J. Trump’s emergency bid to halt his criminal sentencing in New York, all but ensuring it would proceed as planned on Friday.

After a series of unsuccessful legal maneuvers in New York State courts, the former and future president had hoped to prevail before a friendlier audience: a Supreme Court with a 6-to-3 conservative majority that includes three justices Mr. Trump appointed during his first term.

But the court opted to stay out of the case for now, despite having come to Mr. Trump’s rescue in a string of other recent matters. In July, the justices granted former presidents broad immunity for their official acts, undermining a separate criminal case against Mr. Trump in Washington.

The court’s show of independence in the New York case — less than two weeks before the inauguration — capped the former and future president’s frenzied campaign to stave off the embarrassing spectacle of a sentencing. After months of delay, the sentencing will now formalize Mr. Trump’s conviction, cementing his status as the first felon to occupy the Oval Office.

Almost any other defendant would have been sentenced by now. But ever since a jury convicted Mr. Trump in May on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, Mr. Trump’s lawyers have lodged a flurry of filings seeking to unwind the conviction, or at least block the sentencing.

They intensified the effort even after the judge overseeing the case recently signaled that he would spare Mr. Trump jail time, or any other substantive punishment, making any sentencing largely symbolic.

The sentencing is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. Friday in the same Lower Manhattan courtroom where Mr. Trump’s trial took place last spring. The president-elect has indicated he plans to appear virtually.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

ACB has been surprisingly moderate on a lot of issues.
