I'd take the third point to mean that you can't control trumps antics, so not doing that.

Live fact checking is going to be interesting, if used.

trumps playing games back, knowing Biden wont agree to having Fox host the debate because they aren't neutral, there fore trump can pull out like he did last time after Biden showed him up

Fox hosts attending his trials, coordinating with trump to circumvent his gag order, providing airtime for trump sycophants, testimony that Hannity conspiring behind the scenes to cover up trump’s crimes with witness tampering

Fox are in in again for trump again despite last time costing them almost $800m

No wonder trump wants them

It should be C-SPAN only, Brian Lamb can chair it; the networks can choose to carry it or not. They always turn it into a circus, even the nominally sane ones aren't much better than Fox.

Having just commented on the Ukraine thread about context, it reminds me of that here. FoxNews, as in the news part of it, is actually OK. Its far from perfect and they have made some bad calls in the past, but it does a reasonable job of reporting the news.

However, what they have done is provide 'entertainment' dressed up as news with their talking heads. They blur the lines of news and try to insinuate that the likes of Ingram, Carlson and the others are pure entertainment and not news. It just happens that they run on FoxNews.

But yeah, 'entertainment channels' is a fair summary

Quite the piece by AP News about Speaker Johnson speaking out in support of trump outside the court

"It was a remarkable moment in modern American politics: The House speaker turning his Republican Party against the federal and state legal systems that are foundational to the U.S. government and a cornerstone of democracy."

https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-speaker-mi...


Claims it was his own idea to go

It’s this that I find most troubling, to be honest. Trump claiming it’s all nonsense is one thing, but an entire political party actively undermining the legal system is another thing entirely.
This is part of what people like me have been trying to say.

The GOP has abandoned America. It's abandoned the constitution. It's all for Trump.

They aren't going to play by any established rules. They've bought the Supreme Court, they've bought the lower courts. They control the media. They run roughshod over Democrats at every chance.

What makes any of you think they'll let Trump actually get punished is beyond me. This is the reality.

It's because none of them yet have been held to account.
We know of those GOP members who attended the trump planning meeting in the WH in Dec 2020 on how to overturn the election loss.
We know those who were also involved in attempting to put pressure onto the 7 swing states election officials trying to claim election fraud.
We know of those involved in the fact electors scheme, those that were involved in trying to deliver the fake votes to Pence.
We know those that were involved in the planning of trumps Elipse rally, in planning the violence, some of whom turned up in full body armour
We know those that deliberately were stalling certifying the real elector votes in Congress so the magamob had time to break in, with the plan to take and destroy those real votes.
We know those that continued to fail to hold trump to account, offered excuses and lies instead, and those that have continued to obstruct investigations and charges.

It's been an error not to hold those to account. Thats why we've had years of inaction and attempted dirt manufacture to help trump instead.


Edit: but then they've got used to not being punished. Latest report on 43 members of congress violated insider trading and conflict of interest laws by failing to disclose their stock trading.

Federal prosecutors are asking trump appointed U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols to order Steve Bannon to begin serving his four-month prison sentence after an appeals court upheld his conviction on contempt of Congress charges.

In a new motion, prosecutors say there's "no legal basis" for Nichols to continue the stay on Bannon's sentence.

Giuliani has gone into hiding to avoid being served with indictment notice from Arizonas fake electors case.

They've tried multiple attempts to serve Giuliani in person in days after indictments were filed as well as additional attempts by phone to arrange service to be completed and the summons has also sent via certified mail. All unsuccessful.

I've also received and accepted an invitation to a debate hosted by ABC on Tuesday, September 10th.

trump says he’ll arrange his own transportation. I’ll bring my plane, too. I plan on keeping it for another four years.

Another loss for GOP attempts at gerrymandering as Scotus has ruled that Louisiana can use they newly redrawn congressional map in this year's election that includes two majority-Black districts, after it was redrawn from the heavily GOP biased map. Dems expected to gain a seat from it.

Comer has pushed the House Oversight Committee Garland contempt hearing from 11am today to 8pm, to allow time for GOP members to speak outside trumps trial. trump has to have his cheerleaders/gag order breakers present

Apparently it's Gaetz, Luna and Biggs turn today, and GOP don't have enough members in majority...

Garland has ignored their subpoena, something many GOP members did with the Jan 6 Committee, including Kim Jordon
