Lawyers for former U.S. President Donald Trump arrived at the office of Special Counsel Jack Smith on Thursday, ABC News reported, the day a grand jury meets in the investigation of efforts to overturn Trump's 2020 presidential election defeat.
She's just a troll, nothing more. She contributes nothing towards policy or making life better in America. Whatever will own the libs is what she exists for. Trash.
Great weekend for Phillies baseball! Schwarber swinging like it's June
Omg what a game! Horrible umpire and near disaster at the end! Love Phillies baseball!
Trump asks Georgia’s top court to quash grand jury report, disqualify Fulton DA
From the article:
Trump’s motion contended that Willis and McBurney “at every turn” have trampled on the procedural safeguards and rights of Trump and others under investigation.
“The whole of the process is now incurably infected,” the motion said. “And nothing that follows could be legally sound or publicly respectable.”
It asserted that the Georgia statute allowing for the operation of special grand juries was unconstitutionally vague. It said that publication of excerpts of the final report would violate the former president’s rights to fundamental fairness and due process and lead to “irremediable injury” to his reputation as he runs for the GOP nomination for president for a third time.
I can't believe that the people of Alabama voted for Tuberville.
A day after revealing Andrew Painter had been shut down again with elbow discomfort, the Phillies had a surprisingly positive update on their top prospect.
The Phillies had a surprising, positive update on top prospect Andrew Painter Saturday afternoon.
Painter, who was diagnosed with a sprained UCL in his throwing arm in March and was shut down from throwing this week because of elbow discomfort, underwent an MRI arthrogram that showed healing in the UCL.
The Phillies will back him off from throwing for a few days and then resume his progression.
"Actually better news than what we expected because the testing showed there is healing in there, seriously," manager Rob Thomson said before Saturday's game against the Marlins.
"(The tear) is closing up, we're seeing healing. So all we're going to do is just back him off for a few days, let that discomfort get out of the way and then we'll start going again. It's better news than what we were expecting."
What an oddly worded title - it's not mine, it's from the article.
Noah Cates and the Flyers reached a new two-year, $5.25 million contract Monday.
Noah Cates and the Flyers avoided salary arbitration pretty quickly.
The sides reached a new two-year, $5.25 million contract Monday. The deal has an average annual value of $2.625 million. Cates will also be switching from No. 49 to No. 27 for his jersey, according to his agent Ben Hankinson.
It’s not every day when a former White House chief of staff implicates a former president — under penalty of perjury — in an impeachable offense.
Over the weekend, the allegations returned to the fore, and for good reason. The New York Times reported on Saturday:
John F. Kelly, who served as former President Donald J. Trump’s second White House chief of staff, said in a sworn statement that Mr. Trump had discussed having the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies investigate two F.B.I. officials involved in the investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia. Mr. Kelly said that his recollection of Mr. Trump’s comments to him was based on notes that he had taken at the time in 2018. Mr. Kelly provided copies of his notes to lawyers for one of the F.B.I. officials, who made the sworn statement public in a court filing.
While I do love the quick innovation and updates of Lemmy, I have to admit that it's a bit confusing and hard to keep up with.
But, for what goal, though? I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious. It made Putin look weak and it really seemed like he and this crony cabinet were on the run. It's not like Putin squashed down the rebellion in a show of force - instead, Wagner said "yeah, it's all good, imma turn around now and peace out to Belarus. Lates".
I don't see how Thomas could possibly care. He knows that he and that wife of his are untouchable given that there is no oversight over the SCOTUS. Alito, too. Conservatives would never let them get even close to impeachment and Thomas has proclaimed that is only goal is to make liberal lives hell for his remainder of days.
It's surprising just how quickly the tables the conservative justices have been able to strike down existing law/precedent. I wonder if democracy will even exist in 10-20 years.
This whole story is beyond weird. None of it makes any sense - a fast moving coup against an established government, an abrupt about face, and then exile into a neighboring country - only to come back "home" to pick up your prized pistol and a few other things. Oh, and also to meet up the leader you tried to overthrow.
The whole team looked listless and disinterested today. Would have been nice to get a win before the break but maybe the break is exactly what they need to recharge. Gonna be a long week until the next game!
Not sure why the downvotes - I found the article to be fairly interesting.
Amaaaaaazing username! Love it!
Super impressed with growth over the last week alone. I really was worried how I would adjust to not being on Reddit after Apollo died but I feel pretty encouraged now.
Great win and great series! Wheels vs Alcantara tomorrow!
Greene's clash with Boebert was the last straw for conservatives, some of whom felt Greene was growing too close to Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has reportedly been removed from the conservative House Freedom Caucus after a series of disagreements, including calling her colleague Rep. Lauren Boebert a "bitch" on the House floor.
Rep. Andy Harris, a Maryland Republican who serves on the board of the House Freedom Caucus, said that the group held a formal vote on Greene's status last month, according to Politico and CNN. CNN separately reported that the group's rules are tightly held, but Harris believes that for all intents and purposes she has been removed.
"As far as I know, that is the way it is," Harris told Politico.
Harris told Politico that Greene's clash with Boebert was the final straws for the Georgia Republican. Conservatives had been upset with Greene for months due to her close ties to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Historically, the Freedom Caucus has clashed with GOP leaders, most notably former Speaker John Boehner.
"I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members," Harris told Politico.
Greene was incensed that Boebert was, in her view, co-opting a push to impeach President Joe Biden and members of his administration. Greene confirmed to reporters that she called Boebert a "bitch" on the floor and then repeated the insult in a later interview.
"She has genuinely been a nasty little bitch to me," Greene told Semafor. Boebert told reporters she was "not in middle school" when asked to respond.
This is a historic moment for the conservative group. It has never before formally voted to boot one of its members. The caucus is selective in who it allows in for membership and refuses to release a full roster of its members.
Then-Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan resigned from the group after he became the first Republican to say that President Donald Trump had committed "impeachable conduct." Amash had been a founding member of the conservative group.
A spokesperson for the Freedom Caucus did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Neither did a spokesperson for Greene.
Nauta is represented by Sasha Dadan, a defense attorney based in Fort Pierce, where the trial is scheduled to be held on Aug. 14.
Nauta's plea follows the release of more details contained in the search warrant for Trump's Mar-a-Lago property almost a year ago. The warrant describes a person, identified as witness 5, moving dozens of boxes in May and June last year from a room where federal prosecutors say Trump kept the boxes. Witness 5 is believed to be Nauta.
