"Trump’s attorney, David Warrington, sent ProPublica a cease-and-desist letter demanding this article not be published. The letter warned that if the outlet and its reporters 'continue their reckless campaign of defamation, President Trump will evaluate all legal remedies.'"

I noticed a landowner who had posted huge Trump display signs during the Indiana primary season had removed them after a NY Court found Trump guilty of 34 felonies.

The signs went back to advertising lots for sale.

Maybe having Trump plastered over your future homestead was appealing in the past, but not so much now.

In the last several election cycles, the signs were up from before the primary until after the general election.

The government must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Hunter Biden was a drug addict when he purchased a firearm.

The defense will argue 11 days of sobriety following rehab.

I've never witnessed a more feeble prosecutor brining such vague charges against a private citizen.

Still 4.5 weeks of the election nonsense to ignore.

I already know who I'm voting for (Alliance in East Belfast).

And Mr was more than willing to back their calls for, at the very least, a fresh investigation. During the debates, he told Mrs Clinton:

Torsten Bell sums up the problem with the Tories trying to bribe older voters with a tax cut (reversing their own tax-grab conducted via fiscal drag)...

'Trying to bribe baby boomers with small tax cuts completely misses the point that they’d like something else. A functioning NHS'!

Dehumanizing insults have become way more common in political discourse. Psychology research has shown that they can prime us for violence – and even change our brains.

I know a little bit more about American politics than the average bear, and the only thing I’m comfortable assuming about this is:

Anyone who speaks with certainty about what is going to happen in the next five and a half months is full of crap.
