The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 455 - Politics and Economics

In an email sent to Mr. Cohen on June 13, Mr. Costello suggested Mr. Giuliani was about to speak with the president, “his client,” and asked if he had a message to convey.

“Michael, Since you jumped off the phone rather abruptly, I did not get a chance to tell you that my friend has communicated to tell me that he is meeting with his client this evening and he added that if there was anything you wanted to convey you should tell me and my friend will bring it up for discussion this evening. I would suggest that you give this invitation some real thought.”

I checked Trump's Twitter for his first mention of collusion and I found some neat projection:

Later the day of that tweet Papadopoulos emailed Sessions "Have some interesting messages coming in from Moscow about a trip when the time is right."

Two days later Trump, Sessions, and Kushner are shaking hands with the Russian ambassador.

I can't tell if this is the soft bigotry of low expectations or if they're just trying to hype up non-events because it helps with ratings and clicks. From an article about the Yemen vote today:

Quote:

The measure is expected to pass the House in the coming weeks, and it could pose a difficult test for Trump. More than two years into his presidency, Trump has yet to use his veto power.

"difficult test"? LOL he will veto it, it won't be overturned and that's it. What's so difficult about that? Same with the silly anti-emergency resolution.

Usually buying a company who has recent bad news but you can't think of why they wouldn't rebound is an easy winning trade but the stock is still decently above two months ago. :/ Should be some carnage here when other countries also ground the planes but it's the stock market where it's mostly lol nothing matters.

Newsom's executive order appears to be going farther than just saying "no executions on my watch":

Quote:

Newsom will suspend the practice through an executive order that will give a reprieve from execution — though not release — to California’s 737 death row inmates, about a quarter of the nation’s population awaiting capital punishment. The order will also annul California’s lethal injection protocol and close the execution chamber at San Quentin State Prison, where the state’s most notorious criminals have been put to death.

Newsom continually going head to head with Trump really makes me think he may pull the trigger on a 2020 run

Why do people always talk about the victims? Why should the victim of a crime (or their relatives/friends) have any say in the punishment? In the legal system if you have any relation to any of the parties involved you have to recuse yourself so if they can't pass a fair and honest judgement then the victims and their kin certainly can't.
