(4/18)We’re Not Getting a Fox News-Dominion Trial After All。「Tuesday was to be the first official day for the high-stakes Dominion v. Fox News proceedings, in which the plaintiff sought $1.6 billion in damages from Fox for broadcasting false claims that Dominion’s voting machines had been rigged in order to steal votes from President Donald Trump during the 2020 election.
... ...
The trial was to be a high-profile affair, with Fox employees set to take the stand; now, the case has been settled for $787.5 million, according to Dominion lawyer Justin Nelson, speaking at a press conference just now.」
(4/6)Why is Trump attacking the judge overseeing his NY indictment? He wants to force him off the case, Maggie Haberman says.。「"This is where we are right now. I have a Trump-hating judge, with a Trump-hating wife and family, whose daughter worked for Kamala Harris and now receives money from the Biden-Harris campaign," Trump said during a Tuesday night speech at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. 」政治家よりチンピラです。
(4/5)【随時更新】トランプ前大統領 無罪を主張 起訴は34の罪。共和党としては心情が複雑でしょうが、注目を浴びたいトランプにとっては大いに目的達成でしょう。後は起訴側の「手腕」次第です。
(3/30)Donald Trump Has Become The First President In US History To Face Criminal Charges。訴訟が大好きな張本人が。。。「In a statment, Trump said the indictment is "political persecution" and "election interference at the highest level in history."
"The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to 'Get Trump,' but now they've done the unthinkable – indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant election interference," the statement reads.」
諸刃の剣だ。被告と検察のどちらが正しくでも大問題だ。
いつも平気にまっぴらな嘘を付く人が、人の言うことが嘘だと言うのは誰か信じるだろうか？自分が無実だと言い張っても説得力はあるだろうか？盗まれたはずの票はどうなったか？そう言っていた張本人はもうボケて忘れたか？それを信じていたもっと若い人達も忘れただろうか？
(3/28)Trump rape case: After years of back and forth over Trump's DNA, jurors won't even hear about it
(3/26)'They're coming after you:' Donald Trump attacks prospective indictment during Waco rally。「Staging his first public rally of the 2024 election cycle, President Donald Trump lashed out at the many criminal investigations against him – particularly the one in New York City that could lead to his indictment any day.
"They're not coming after me, they're coming after you," Trump told fervent supporters Saturday during a rambling speech in Waco, Texas, seeking support from his political base as he faces the prospect of becoming the first former president to face criminal charges.」
Trump kicks off 2024 with a lifeless stump speech, folding indictment hysteria into a growing list of grievances。「The 92-minute speech layered the current legal challenges piling up against the embattled former president atop all the grudges he's been carrying for years.
He complained about 2016 presidential rival Hillary Clinton and former House Speaker Paul Ryan in one breath, before skewering China and the multiple district attorneys digging through his affairs in the next. 」

(12/24)The Jan. 6 Committee Asked Congress To Consider Banning Donald Trump From Holding Office Ever Again。どうして当たり前の結論になっていないか不思議なくらい。再び大統領に出られるならば、アメリカの民主主義の終わりだろう。
(12/22)Trump’s Former Personal Aide Testified He Saw Trump Tearing Up 。「Trump’s enthusiasm for not complying with the Presidential Records Act, which mandates that presidential documents be carefully preserved and then handed over to the National Archives, is well-known. In fact, it’s the source of one of the many current investigations into him. Luna’s testimony provides even more evidence for the case that Trump, who was just referred for criminal charges by the congressional committee investigating the Capitol riot, may have intentionally broken that law.」
「The nine-person committee unanimously voted to refer four criminal charges against the former president: obstruction of an official proceeding; conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to make a false statement; and inciting, assisting, or aiding an insurrection.」子供でも分かる罪だが、どう裁かれるかはアメリカの「民主主義」の真価を試すことになる。

(9/17)A Sadistic Immigration Stunt。「Ron DeSantis’s hideous political stunt is a reminder that the GOP’s policies are no longer about achieving results, but gratifying the basest impulses of MAGA voters.」
(9/3)Gingrinch emailed Kushner after Trump lost with propaganda proposal to overthrow election。"The goal is to arouse the country's anger through new verifiable information the American people have never seen before … If we inform the American people in a way they find convincing and it arouses their anger, they will then bring pressure on legislators and governors."
(8/23)Trump lawyers seek halt of Mar-a-Lago document inquiry, want special master to oversee review。正義って、弁護士の手腕次第？
(8/14)Rudy Giuliani says Trump will 'raid every one of Biden's houses' if the former president wins the 2024 presidential 。「"Breaking into the home of a former president is a political act — particularly since you're breaking precedent. All of a sudden, you're the first president of the United States who introduced the banana-republic process of prosecuting your predecessor. We've avoided it for 240 years. Trump didn't do it to Hillary. Ford didn't do it," he told the newspaper.」捜査令状があるので、何かしら正当だと思われる理由がある。文句があるなら、その理由について論じるべきである。前例がないからしてはならないことはない。どちらかといえば、前例のない悪事を沢山したのはその当本人。だからただ単に報復するだけの恐喝を絶叫しても、何ら意味もない。それ所か、このRudy Giulianiの知性は大丈夫か、またこのような発言を許す共和党はどうなのかは問題だ。もはやギャングと変わらない。
Rudy Giuliani Promises Revenge Raid of Biden’s House If Trump Wins in 2024。約束したものを一つも実現できなかったにも関わらず、ビッグマウスぶりは健在。図々しさも度を超えている。
Liz Cheney says she's 'ashamed' her fellow Republicans are putting the lives of FBI agents at risk with their post-Mar-a-Lago raid attacks。とても民主主義国家だと思えない。

(8/9)Pro-Trump T-shirt company fined for switching "Made in China" labels with "Made in U.S." labels
(8/3)A federal judge dismissed Trump's request to toss out 3 Capitol Police officer lawsuits against him
「Yesterday, an ex-president who had tried to overturn a democratic election by violence returned to Washington, D.C., to call for law and order. Again and again, the speech reversed reality. The ex-president who had spread an actual big lie against the legitimacy of the 2020 election tried to appropriate the phrase big lie to use against his opponents. The ex-president who had fired an acting FBI director days before that official’s pension was due to be vested lamented that police officers might lose their pension for doing their job.」
「Trump sketched out a vision that a new Republican Congress could enact sweeping new emergency powers for the next Republican president. The president would be empowered to disregard state jurisdiction over criminal law. The president would be allowed to push aside a “weak, foolish, and stupid governor,” and to fire “radical and racist prosecutors”—racist here meaning “anti-white.” The president could federalize state National Guards for law-enforcement duties, stop and frisk suspects for illegal weapons, and impose death sentences on drug dealers after expedited trials.」
(7/24)Trump says Washington Democrats would stop 'persecuting' him if he doesn't run for president again。「Former President Donald Trump slammed the House January 6 committee, claiming that its investigation into the Capitol riot is a way to attack him.
"If I announced that I was not going to run any longer for political office, the persecution of Donald Trump would immediately stop," Trump said during a speech in Arizona on Friday. "They're coming after me because I'm standing up for you."」
(7/23)The Criminal Case Against Trump Is Getting Stronger。「New evidence emerges. And the emerging evidence is increasing Trump’s legal risk on two key fronts. First, did he incite the attack on the Capitol on January 6? Second, did he engage in a criminal scheme under Georgia state law to reverse the results of the presidential election there?」結果はどうなるだろう？
(7/20)Trump’s ‘Fake Electors’ in Georgia Are in Deep Trouble。「Team Trump’s plan, as revealed in the Jan. 6 committee hearings, was this: Allies in seven key states would submit false certificates of Trump’s victory, and when it came time for the electoral votes to be counted, former Vice President Mike Pence could either fail to recognize any electors from disputed states or delay certification of the election. (Ultimately, Pence didn’t fall in line, and Trump maybe wanted to hang him.) 」民主主義の名を汚す卑劣な行為
Twitter買収撤回のイーロン・マスク、次は「世界一有名な出禁ユーザー」トランプ氏と“喧嘩”。「7月10日にトランプ氏がアラスカで行ったスピーチでマスク氏を「詐欺師」と呼んだことだった。さらにTwitterでアカウントが永久凍結されているトランプ氏は、2022年に自分が立ち上げたSNS「Truth Social」で、大統領時代にマスク氏が自動運転やロケットのビジネスで「補助金」を出してほしいと懇願してきたと暴露。反対に、そうした発言を受けてマスク氏は、「トランプを憎んではいないが引退したほうがいい」と反発している。」

Liz Cheney said Trump made attempts to reach a witness before their testimony to the House Select Committee tasked with investigating the Capitol riot.」
(6/30)The People v. Donald Trump。「In Georgia’s case, Trump was recorded telling Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, “I just want to find 11,780 votes,” and then explicitly threatening Raffensperger with criminal sanctions if he didn’t accede to the president’s demand.」幼稚、粗暴、非常識、横柄、権力乱用、パワーハラ。どの表現も度が過ぎないところか、表現しきれない殆ど、酷い人間
(6/29)Trump Knew Jan. 6 Crowd Had Weapons but Wanted Security to Back Off Anyway, White House Aide Says
(6/13)House Jan. 6 committee members says panel has uncovered enough 'credible evidence' to ask the DOJ to indict Trump。 「The members spoke of the former president's insistence that the election had been stolen from him despite a slew of advisors telling him privately that there was no evidence of widescale fraud.
In this week's upcoming hearings, the panel is set to disclose evidence pointing to Trump and several of his advisors who sought to "spread misinformation" and push the Justice Department to endorse Trump's unsubstantiated election claims.」
(6/12)What did Americans learn in the Jan. 6 committee's hearing on the Capitol attack?。知っのはごく一部だし、知ったところで、やり放題はやり放題で、それで罪を問われうこともできそうもない。結局、やった者勝ち？
(6/4)Ex-Trump advisor Peter Navarro said he was put in handcuffs and 'leg irons' while being arrested at the Nashville airport on charges of defying the House January 6 committee。「Navarro, 72, was indicted on charges of contempt of Congress on Friday after repeatedly defying the orders of the House Committee investigating the January 6 riot, per unsealed court documents.」罪は罪。逆切れしても、逮捕すべきと言う事実は変わらない

(4/23)Republican Leader Humiliated by Audio Reconfirming He Didn’t Support Violent Overthrow of Government
Trump says he'd rather be 'a dictator' than 'a dumb person' after bragging about the cognitive test he took in 2018によると、「Experts on authoritarianism have warned that Trump not only frequently praises strongmen dictators on the world stage, but also exhibits authoritarian tendencies of his own, culminating in the January 6 insurrection on Capitol Hill.」また、「The test Trump took is called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, designed to detect signs of dementia. 」認知症のテストを見事にパスしたと自慢されても、大統領としては恥ずかしいだけだろう。
Judge David O. Carter’s 44-page opinion concludes that Trump and Eastman, “more likely than not … corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021” and with deceitful intent, conspired to defraud the United States.

(2/27)Trump calls President Zelenskyy a ‘Brave Man,’ Fondly Remembers Phone Call That Got Him Impeached
Trump's lawyer interrupted a hearing about the Trump Organization's finances to ask New York's AG to investigate Hillary Clinton for 'spying' on Trump。弁護士の手腕の見せ場だろうが、自分に非がなければ、とっとと裁判を終わらせればいいだろう。非があるから、こうやって妨害する。金があるから、妨害するひょうも何でもできる汚い事例。
52% of Republicans side with Pence and believe Trump was wrong to think his VP could overturn the 2020 election: poll。政治・政権のことについて、皆んな一体とごまで分かって、どこまでちゃんと定義されているだろうか？あやふやなら、何を持って民主主義を実施しているだろうか？
(2/3)Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman files federal lawsuit accusing Trump and Rudy Giuliani of violating the Ku Klux Klan Act。民主主義でも、理不尽は理不尽
(2/2)Jan. 6 committee member says Trump 'said the criminal part out loud' when he said Pence could have overturned the election。"Trump made the claim on Sunday, falsely saying that newly-proposed amendments to the 1887 Electoral Count Act showed Pence could have overturned President Joe Biden's victory.
"What they are saying, is that Mike Pence did have the right to change the outcome, and they now want to take that right away. Unfortunately, he didn't exercise that power, he could have overturned the Election!" Trump said in a statement.
Members of the House's January 6 committee are investigating Trump's role in the Capitol riot, and have narrowed in on his attempt to overturn the election.
In January 2021, Trump tried to use the Electoral Count Act to get Pence not to certify Biden's victory, but Pence declined, saying he didn't have the "unilateral authority" under the Constitution.
The certification process at the US Capitol, over which Pence presided on January 6, 2021, was disrupted by a crowd of Trump supporters, many of whom believed Pence could overturn the election and wanted to punish him."
Who will win Florida in 2024? A new poll has Biden losing to these two prominent Republicans。この手のいわゆる世論調査は選挙に大きいな影響与えるはず。上手く利用すれば、選挙を操作できるだろう。

(12/28)Alex Jones warns Trump: "You are either completely ignorant" or "one of the most evil men who has ever lived"。「Far-right disinfotainers like Alex Jones and Candace Owens are offering several explantions for why their god-emperor is claiming that the Covid-19 vaccination is safe and benefical. He is either ignorant, evil, or being blackmailed by the deep state, which is using the vaccine to poison and sterilize Kid Rock fans.」無知なのはAlex Jonesでもあるのはいいとして、トランプ氏はどう反応・行動するかは興味深い。
(12/27)The Gospel of Donald Trump Jr.。「If we get together, they cannot cancel us all. Okay? They won’t. And this will be contrary to a lot of our beliefs because—I’d love not to have to participate in cancel culture. I’d love that it didn’t exist. But as long as it does, folks, we better be playing the same game. Okay? We’ve been playing T-ball for half a century while they’re playing hardball and cheating. Right? We’ve turned the other cheek, and I understand, sort of, the biblical reference—I understand the mentality—but it’s gotten us nothing. Okay? It’s gotten us nothing while we’ve ceded ground in every major institution in our country.」散々たる敗北ではなく、譲歩したと言い張るのは自分の非を否定し続けること。嘘、欺瞞、粗暴を最後まで貫くのは図々しいだけではなくて、支持を得られるのは尚情け無い。人類の文明は果たしてどんな利益をもたらしてくれただろうか？
違う罪状だが、Texas woman faces up to 20 years in prison for assaulting flight attendant, authorities say。法律って、適当？
(11/16)There’s Another Trump Coup Memo, and Mark Meadows Was Involved。「Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows sent Mike Pence's top aide a memo on New Year's Eve 2020 detailing how then-President Donald Trump wanted the vice president to block Joe Biden's election victory, ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl wrote in his new book.」
Former Trump Adviser Michael Flynn: U.S. Should “Have One Religion”。もはや、民主主義なんかどうでも良くて、全員同じ宗教に入り、同じ神様を信じ、従えば良いと言っている。じゃあ、問題はその神様はなんであり、どうやって信者と交信するかだ。そのMichael Flynn 氏を経由するならば、世の中の他の新興宗教と同じになる。それでアメリカは今よりや良くなるとはとても思えなかろう。
