The former governor of New Jersey has dropped out of the presidential race, Trump’s lawyer claims that presidential immunity covers having rivals assassinated, and fringe candidate RFK Jr. got smacked around by celebs like Dionne Warwick after claiming they were attending his birthday fundraising gala.

“I would rather lose telling the truth than lie to win”
bink, picky, picky, picky. let’s not get granular about the glandular.
one sometimes has to manipulate certain things no matter how painful and take license to fit an objective.
altho I must admit that my excuse is a bit ironic given the juxtaposition to a thread topic about truthiness.
christie’s speech yesterday had a marc anthony ring about it in some ways…. ‘the evil men do” and the talk of ambition in a leader kinda thing.
Ah- poetic license. Fair.
Kinda weird what Nancy Mace yelled after yesterday’s thread title, does she read trailmix?
Stay classy, Nancy 🤢
I had great hopes for Nancy Mace after she quashed the hopes of The Citadel assholes to remain a female-free zone. (First female to graduate therefrom).
Then she came out as a Republican.
Then she came out as a Chump-Licker Republican.
Then she just came right out as an Idiot.
So all I hope for now is that she never ever wins another election.
The main problem here is that SC LOVES to elect idiots.
article today for history buffs who are interested in political health privacy issue. Before Lloyd Austin, a history of White House health secrets and TMI – The Washington Post Long before Lloyd Austin’s cancer diagnosis, many top officials hid ailments. Others shared graphic details. On Sept. 26, 1055, the president of the United States did what many of us do upon waking up. It just happened to be national news. “He had a good bowel movement,” Dwight D. Eisenhower’s press secretary told reporters. One of Eisenhower’s physicians added, “The country will be very pleased — the country is so bowel-minded anyway — to know that the president had a good movement this morning, and it is important. It is good for the morale of people.” This intimate detail, revealed two days after Eisenhower suffered a major heart attack, represents one extreme when it comes to medical transparency from the nation’s top brass. On the opposite end is Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who kept the nation and even President Biden in the dark about his prostate cancer diagnosis, surgery and subsequent hospitalization following complications. How much information do national leaders owe the public about their personal health? And when do we reach the point of too much information, intestinal or otherwise? “Some [medical] things are so obviously not the public’s business, and some are,” but figuring out where to draw the line is tough, said journalist Matthew Algeo, author of the 2012 book “The President Is a Sick Man,” about Grover Cleveland’s top-secret surgery for cancer. U.S. history provides several cautionary tales that support transparency – at least to a point. Several times, White House physicians failed to disclose major presidential health crises. The public didn’t learn that Franklin D. Roosevelt was on death’s door during his fourth term or that Woodrow Wilson was severely debilitated by a massive stroke, facts that had major consequences on the world stage. In total, four presidents (including Roosevelt) and seven vice presidents have died in office of natural causes. More recently, President Donald Trump and his staff were cagey about his health. In 2016, the year… Read more »
another interesting excerpt from a wapo story Christie is out but may not be done trying to stop Trump from winning :
considering how many times christie in his speech spoke about the soul of the nation, I wonder if that’s hinting of a future deal with uncle joe as we get closer to november.
That Christie speech was actually profound, might be remembered in history as the eulogy of the Republican Party, because no way it is surviving Trumpism.
Christie has a habit of talking by “hot mic”. I am trying to remember back to when he quit running in 2016 if there was one then.
It was an interesting few days after sfb said he would do his closing. Pundits, ex-whatevers, lawyers and the interwebs all joined in on offering advice. It was the judge clarifying what limits a closing had to adhere to that squashed the orange blob’s dream of being something he is not. So, we do not get to hear the judge inform him his night will be in jail for political campaigning instead of closing.
Joe now above his 2-point 2020 win in PA
Older voters could save America
At least PA seems to be dismissing the orange slime bit by bit. Good. Now if only the old farts in Michigan and Arizona get a clue Joe may have a fighting chance.
I had to drive back and forth to a hearing this morning and spent over an hour in the car listening to the rehash of the Nikki-Ron spitting contest. Good lord, neither of them sound like they are presidential material.

WaPo coverage of Trump’s rant:
Attorneys live for days like this.
“Mr Kise, please control your client.”
LOL
All for the (political) show.
Translation – Well, yeah, I might have lost, but I disagreed when I lost.
But wait, there’s more…
Well, tell it to the appeals court. The Hon. J. Engoron has already ruled that you DID do something wrong and that you get to pay for that.
He should get a break for his courtroom outbursts. He’s obviously in deep mourning for his late mother-in-law who’s not even in her grave yet.
Ivy – that is giving him a lot of credit.
Right now we have a situation going on which probably should include the Secretary of Defense, that is the escalation of response to the Houthis attacks and boarding of ships in the Red Sea. Should the Secretary, and by extension the military, be sitting with the president, like in West Wing? I am sure the super double dooper Teams connection is in use tonight. As I write this it is the middle of the night where the bad guys are, a good time to do stuff as the U.S. has superior night vision. If the drone and missile sites are being destroyed right now, this is why I am critical of the general/secretary. If all is according to media reports he is good to go with a laptop.
He was so choked up about the mother-in-law that he almost remembered her name.
I wonder which hole at Bedminster for the eternal rest …..,
George Martin sits in with the Beatles.
OR:
John, Paul, George, George, and Ringo.
