Adding insult to injury I'd say.

I await the courts response.

Is threatening / doing ANYTHING negative/intimidating towards a judge basically the worst thing you can do?

[Gameface]

It could be an effort to get a different judge appointed because now he can claim she won't be impartial after he publicly questioned her appointment, her decisions, and for the hat trick, threatened her.

Land of the free. Home of the brave.

There was election fraud and vote rigging, but it was by the GOP.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections says they have evidence that those working for Republican candidate Mark Harris paid people to falsify signatures on absentee ballots in the 2018 Congressional election

Lisa Britt, McCrae Dowless's step-daughter.

ATTORNEY: If it was unsealed and the ballot was not completely voted, you would fill in the other offices?
BRITT: Yes ma'am.
...
ATTORNEY: And who would have directed you to do that?
BRITT: Well we were directed by Mr. Dowless.
"Basically what we would do—or what I would do would be just to put a vote for whoever was a Republican ... that's as far as I would go."

I mean - trump kept saying there was vote rigging, but it was his party that was doing it...

Woman who wrote racist 'ape' post about Michelle Obama defrauded FEMA $18K

A West Virginia woman who called Michelle Obama an "ape in heels" appears to be the same woman who pleaded guilty to defrauding the Federal Emergency Management Agency out of more than $18,000.

After Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, Taylor posted, “It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady in the White House. I’m tired of seeing a Ape in heels.”

'no intention of disrespecting the court'?!

You wrote a whole tin foil hat piece man!

Stone has a link to the Gateway Pundit defending him on it that he just shared on Facebook. So this apology doesn’t seem too sincere to me.

Reuters: U.S. Deputy General Rod Rosenstein is expected to step down in mid March - justice department official

Interesting. Looks like CNN, NBC and Reuters all got this from an anon official at approximately the same moment late on a holiday evening

Edit - this has happened a few times before, team trump leak that Rosenstein is leaving, resigning, going to be fired. The last time was in January and Rosenstein made it known he is staying on until Mueller’s work is completed.

Ah lookign at the document, there's a page 2 where they got Stone to counter sign it

It's been 4 days since House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler publicly informed Matt Whitaker that the committee had found proof that Whitaker had lied about his communications with Donald Trump, had committed perjury and demanded that Whitaker come back and tell the truth.

Nothing since, apart from trumps given Whitaker a new made up role at the DOJ.

Could be something to watch out for soon?

State election officials said a political operative for Republican Mark Harris orchestrated a complex scheme to illegally collect and falsify absentee ballots last year, hiding evidence of the plot as it unfolded and obstructing the state’s investigation after the election.

The state board’s executive director, Kim Strach, told the five-member board Monday that Leslie McCrae Dowless, a longtime political operative from Bladen County, paid workers to collect hundreds of absentee ballots from voters, a felony in North Carolina. Dowless and his employees in some cases forged voter signatures and witness signatures and filled out blank or incomplete ballots, Strach said. They operated in both Bladen and Robeson counties, submitting as many as 1,249 ballots overall in the general election.

So thats North Carolina that the Republicans won on fraud. Surely a reelection?

Crikey, this post is so illogical it is hard to even know where to start.

Oh, and his approval rating not rising, either.

It's not illogical not me. You hate Trump, I get that and I understand that (although "hate" may be too strong a word), however your dislike for Trump also blinds you to the reasons why his approval rating IS increasing, despite you saying it's not which is, again, a blindness you have because your dislike for him stops you seeing a fact.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approva... - over that last three and a half weeks this aggregate site says his approval has gone from 39.3% to 41.8% - even you must be able to agree that those numbers show an increase, making my statement correct. However I understand that you'll claim a different time period to prove your point too.

Leaving the echo chamber and trying to see things from more than one side is hard and I understand why many don't make the effort required but I prefer to make the effort rather than allowing myself to be blind-sided.

IanH, what do you take from Trump saying that he only ‘employs the best people, the greatest people ‘?

My take away - He absolutely believes that statement yet also he's completely wrong in it because, like most powerful people, he's in his own echo chamber where everything he says/does is the "greatest" when, again, it's not always the case.

You're clearly a better person than the rest of us...

[anonymous-user]

To address the echo chamber point I'm genuinely interested to know what "good" he is doing.

It seems to me his two strong points are border security and tax. Yet it also seems to me that this is all rhetoric and that he is not actually doing what he says he is doing.

So is his USP and popularity the fact that he "winds up lefties liberals" and nothing else?

Well he has done quite a bit on tax, massively increasing the deficit. So on tax orange man definitely bad.

His approval rating goes up and down depending on what is going on. However, it has been consistently poor and has been from the first day of his Presidency.
Do not equate him with "most powerful people". What you meant to say was "most demagogues and dictators". Past Presidents (who are indeed, "powerful people") do not and have not behaved the way Trump does.

Yes but at least he has actually done something.
Low taxes are generally seen as a good thing by those on the right so at least he has a position to argue from.

His position on immigration seems deliberately decisive but we can understand how that appeals

What else is he actually doing?
