U.S. prosecutor seeks to gag Trump in his first criminal trial
In that case Trump had attacked the judge and his clerk on social media, accusing them of pursuing an ideological agenda, while also accusing the prosecutor, Letitia James, who is Black, of racism.
Given such behavior, the Manhattan prosecutor’s office in its gag order request emphasized that Trump “has a long history of making public and inflammatory remarks about the participants in various judicial proceedings against him.”
The filing contained a statement from the prosecutor’s police protection officer who recounted how the number of threats to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his office, which is handling the hush money case, skyrocketed after Trump attacked him on social media.

‘Republicans have lost the country’ – and Trump only makes things worse: Morning Joe panel
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele wrote off Republican election chances for the foreseeable future.
Nazis crashing CPAC is ‘frog-in-boiling-water’ moment for conservatives: columnist
Nazis crashing CPAC didn’t raise much fury or get a lot of media attention in the latest news cycle, and that has MSNBC Opinion Columnist Zeeshan Aleem calling it a seminal moment.
T claims Black voters relate to him because he’s faced discrimination in the legal system, which is something they can relate to. This is the same guy who falsely accused the Central Park Five, questioned George Floyd’s humanity, compared his own impeachment trial to being lynched and “Oh, look at my African American over here,” at a campaign hate rally a few years ago.
Absence of justice in a single case (or, actually, 91 cases) is bad enuf, but what do you think about the destruction of democracy in the entire country? No, I’m not kidding. The RWNJs are now brazen enuf to talk about their formerly quiet agenda right out loud.
The annual convention of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) opened on 2024 Feb. 21 with a panel discussion moderated by former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. The audience enthusiastically cheered remarks by panelist Jack Posobiec, whose previous claim to fame was promoting the Pizzagate conspiracy theory.
“Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely,” Posobiec said as the event began.
“We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this, right here,” he said, gesturing to the crowd and holding up his fist.
As he spoke, Bannon laughed and said, “Amen!”
Posobiec then said, to cheers from the audience, “All glory is not to government. All glory to God.”
Trump sounds like a ‘1950s redneck’ when talking about Black people: ex-GOP chair
During a Friday night speech in Columbia, South Carolina, Donald Trump offered some reasons why he believes that Black voters should support him. Trump, discussing the fact that he is facing four criminal indictments, argued that his legal problems should make him appealing to Black voters.
Trump told the crowd, “The mug shot, we’ve all seen the mugshot. And you know who embraced it more than anybody else? The Black population. It’s incredible. You see Black people walking around with my mugshot.”
The Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson, who is Black, slammed Trump’s comments as “cringeworthy, cynical, infuriating, insulting, racist, super-racist” in his Monday column. And some more scathing criticism came from former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele the next morning.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Steele — who was the first African-American to chair the RNC — told hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski and guest Robinson, "With Trump, there is nothing there substantively because of his own history that would tell me that I would have something to gain with him.
“And that’s been proven time and time again as you listen to him talk to Black people as if they’re not there. When I hear him say ‘the Black people,’ it reminds me of some 1950s redneck who is referring to them, other, even though they’re in the room."
Steele, a Never Trump conservative who supported President Joe Biden in 2020 and is supporting him again this year, attacked Trump’s comments as “pandering BS” and added that the former president “thinks so little of the Black community that he (thinks he) can get our vote with, you know, giving us greater access to menthol cigarettes and a nice pair of gold lamé sneakers.”
Wasn’t Trumpie the one who wanted to send in the military to squash BLM protests? Wasn’t Trumpie the one calling for the death of those teenages wrongfully convicted in New York? That black caucus must be woefully ill informed.
Arizona Republicans would legalize killing migrants who cross private property:
Republicans in the Arizona legislature are advancing a bill that would make it legal to kill migrants who cross private property, according to a new report.
Does anyone remember the Tump response to the George Floyd incident and resultant demonstrations? Condemned the demonstrators, praised the officers involved, sent in unidentified military to some areas. Doctrine of Discovery guy all the way!

Trump got the Republican House to go on vacation and leave the border open and our budget hostage, President Biden did not leave the border open.
Trump killed off the red wave with his totally bungled covid response, President Biden did not kill republicans with lies like duffer Trump did.
Professional criminal Trump is facing the first criminal trial of an American president next month, not President Biden.
Criminal Trump’s fines are up to $465,067,000, President Biden does not owe the courts money.
