45th President of the United States, Donald Trump (Vol. 12)
Discussion
Rachel Maddow asked lots of questions in her show last night now that trump has to turn over his tax returns
What ever happened to the 'Individual 1' case? Add it to Garland's list of loose ends.
'Massive cash infusion' to Trump's 2016 campaign a likely focus of investigators
She reported about trump using the Trump Organization to make a series of lucrative consulting payments to Ivanka Trump, and then he wrote them off on his taxes. It wasn’t illegal for Ivanka to accept those payments, but Donald’s write-off very much appears to have been felony tax fraud.

Hard-right hoaxers Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman wanted to pause a civil suit accusing them of violating the Ku Klux Klan Act through robocalls targeting Black voters until their criminal cases over the same conduct ended. A federal judge shot that down.

In 2020, Wohl and Burkman resorted to racist robocalls that were designed to intimidate Black voters. In one of the robocalls, a young woman who sounded African-American and claimed to be with a "civil rights organization" led by Wohl and Burkman, tried to discourage voting by mail and said, "Did you know that if you vote by mail, your personal information will be part of a public database that will be used by police departments to track down old warrants, and be used by credit card companies to collect outstanding debt?"
In October 2020, Wohl and Burkman both pled not guilty to four criminal counts, which included voter intimidation and conspiracy to commit a voting law violation.

trumps advisers would rather he didn't speak at CPAC, fearing he will again incriminate himself.
On CNN Tuesday, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said that former President Donald Trump's advisers are worried he could say something at his speech at the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference that would incriminate him in the investigations into his business and conduct.
"Do you know what he's going to say? Or what do you expect him to say?" said anchor John Berman.
"I've been told it's going to be a very policy-focused speech," said Haberman. "Whether that is true, as you know and whether he actually delivers what is on the page remains to be seen ... He's going to speak about immigration policy, because that's one of the things Biden has had to focus on, trying to undo some of Trump's immigration policies. So Trump knows that appeals to his base of supporters. You'll see him talk about that. I think he'll talk about President Biden rejoining the Iran nuclear deal."
"But at the end of the day, it's a Donald Trump speech and I expect he'll say some version of what he wants to say," said Haberman. "There's been concern among some of his advisers that he'll say something damaging as he's facing this threat of prosecution from various prosecutors around the country, but so I think you may see him stick to a script more than he normally would. As you say, this is very unusual. And an unusual venue."

According to other sources and wikipedia
Texas produces the most wind power of any U.S. state. According to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), wind power accounted for at least 15.7% of the electricity generated in Texas during 2017, as wind was 17.4% of electricity generated in ERCOT, which manages 90% of Texas's power.
Or NBC
About 56 percent of Texas' energy comes from natural gas, just under 24 percent comes from wind, 19 percent from coal, and almost 9 percent from nuclear energy.
Many however have tried to blame it on the windturbines

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fact-check-re...
"It is true that the oil-rich state is a wind colossus. Though heavily reliant on natural gas, Texas leads the US in wind power generation and as far back as 2017 it had enough installed wind capacity to make it the world’s sixth biggest wind power if it were a country.
As a result, wind farms sometimes supply a large amount of Texans’ electricity, usually in the windier spring season. Last May, wind contributed a record 59 per cent of hourly power demand."
There are wind turbines in the antarctic, they work just fine. Likewise there are other methods of power generation in very cold all over the world
The issue isn't the technology its that ERCOT failed to plan and implement their systems properly, despite warnings.

Indeed.How anyone can drink that snake piss is beyond me.
Martin Gugino, who sustained a fractured skull when he was knocked to the ground by police officers during a Black Lives Matter protest last summer, sued the city of Buffalo, New York, and its police department Monday, alleging they violated his constitutional rights through a “draconian” curfew and excessive use of force, a suit that comes weeks after a grand jury declined to indict the officers involved.
Gugino’s lawsuit comes less than two weeks after a grand jury declined to bring felony assault charges against officers Aaron Torgalski and Robert McCabe, who allegedly shoved the protester and are named in the lawsuit. The two were suspended by the police department after the attack—prompting a mass resignation from others at BPD in a show of support—and a spokesperson told Forbes on Feb. 11 that Torgalski and McCabe remain on paid leave pending an internal investigation. The Buffalo Police Benevolent Association has maintained their “staunch support” for the officers, with president John Evans saying in a statement after the grand jury ruling that Torgalski and McCabe were “simply following departmental procedures and the directives of their superiors to clear Niagara Square despite working under extremely challenging circumstances.”
Former President Donald Trump controversially accused Gugino in June of being an “ANTIFA provocateur” in a tweet and said he “fell harder than was pushed.” The president’s baseless accusation, which was slammed by Democrats, was based on a conspiratorial One America News report that reportedly received pushback internally at the right-wing network.

Except we all saw the video, saw the blood, saw the lack of concern or help after the attack.

Remember when Donald Junior signed one of the checks to reimburse Michael Cohen for his payoff to Stormy Daniels, which means that he also violated campaign finance laws.
It's being reported that he also is being investigated by NY
https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-jr-is-b...
Remember, Cohens already served time for his part in the affair.

They are on remand. They will have a different experience if convicted of a federal crime.What amazing snowflakes these MAGA loons are... Its almost as if they don't get that prison is punishment when you've done something wrong.

I'm willing to bet a lot of those complaining are also those who protest about luxuries being given to prisoners.

Wonder if they are being held in 'terrorism' wings / prisons as we have here in the UK?
