But on Thursday, Necheles presented two Instagram posts where Daniels used the slogan, and the witness conceded she had in fact posted it.
No reason for Biden to debate Trump. Good reason for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to.
Don't know what i've missed Cohen saying which you are worried could sway a juror Trump's way. He certainly is not an idiot. And he does deserve some credit for coming clean. Even if to save himself. And Daniels is also far from an idiot. Her replies from the witness box to Trump's defense confirmed that.
See again the two articles here - Opinion Trump might not go to jail, but this trial is a close second
[... and these two ...]
Trump lawyer Susan Necheles invoked Daniels’s 2018 “Make America Horny Again” tour, and she displayed the products Daniels has sold, including a “Stormy, Saint of Indictments” candle. “That was you selling your merchandise, right?” Necheles asked.
“That is me doing my job,” answered Daniels, who noted that her own crass commercializing was “not unlike Mr. Trump.”
Necheles, who asserted that Daniels has “a lot of experience making phony stories about sex appear to be real,” asked her: “And now you have a story you have been telling about having sex with President Trump; right?”
Replied Daniels: “And if that story was untrue, I would have written it to be a lot better.”

I'm still a little bitter that we lost our bid for the summer games here in Chicago. There were a ton of things going on behind the scenes that nobody knew about.

I said cohen should have shut his trap long ago. I beg to differ about Daniels. She got thrown into the fire and faced it with flying colors. She owned that bitch who was trying to break her and the other two sycophants so far, broke down into tears on the stand over simple procedural questions.......makes you wonder what they are not saying about that slug.
I never saw Cassidy cry in all her interviews and her book is really good too.. Powerful women have their place in our society and should be listened to.

Jaraparilla 🇾🇪 🇵🇸 @jaraparilla Israeli journalist Gideon Levy explains the 3 pillars of Zionist delusion:
Related: "Once again it was proved that this isn’t how it is. A few hundred armed Palestinians breached the barrier and invaded Israel in a way no Israeli imagined was possible. A few hundred people proved that it’s impossible to imprison 2 million people forever without paying a cruel price. "
----------------
"On Saturday they were already talking about wiping out entire neighborhoods in Gaza, about occupying the Strip and punishing Gaza “as it has never been punished before.” But Israel hasn’t stopped punishing Gaza since 1948, not for a moment."
---------------------------------------
Israelis Made to Suffer the Cruel Price for Oppression of Palestinians in Gaza
P - The threats of "flattening Gaza" prove only one thing: We haven’t learned a thing. The arrogance is here to stay, even though Israel is paying a high price once again.
Gideon Levy

Behind all this lies Israeli arrogance; the idea that we can do whatever we like, that we’ll never pay the price and be punished for it. We’ll carry on undisturbed.
P - We’ll arrest, kill, harass, dispossess and protect the settlers busy with their pogroms. We'll visit Joseph’s Tomb, Othniel’s Tomb and Joshua’s Altar in the Palestinian territories, and of course the Temple Mount—over 5,000 Jews on Sukkot alone.
P - We’ll fire at innocent people, take out people’s eyes and smash their faces, expel, confiscate, rob, grab people from their beds, carry out ethnic cleansing and of course continue with the unbelievable siege of the Gaza Strip, and everything will be all right.

Funny, harmless and not a threat to jurors or the judge. Trump' s comments, worthy of fines and a threat of incarceration.
“Real men respond to testimony by being sworn in and taking the stand in court,” she wrote in a post on X. “Oh... wait. Nevermind.”
Materially different, I guess.
Nicely said, Gideon Levy. An Israeli journalist with the integrity and the courage to say it like it is. Like it has been for since 1948. That's 76 years of snubbing Israeli noses at international law and 76 years of subjugation and repression of Palestinian people. It can't last forever. Only a fool could consider it could.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. challenges Donald Trump to debate at Libertarian Convention
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has challenged Donald Trump to a head-to-head debate for when both address a Libertarian convention later this month, a move that comes as the presumptive GOP nominee has ramped up both criticism of Kennedy’s independent bid and demands that President Joe Biden meet him on a debate stage.
Arguing that he is “drawing a lot of voters from your former supporters,” Kennedy said to Trump in an open letter posted Tuesday to X that the Libertarian convention provides “perfect neutral territory for you and me to have a debate where you can defend your record for your wavering supporters.”
Trump has been bullish in calling on Biden to debate him ahead of the November general election but has shied away from other rivals’ previous debate entreaties. Trump skipped the 2024 GOP primary debates, saying it was unnecessary because voters know him and his record.

Cohen and Danials are idiots. Almost as bad as shittypants and can't keep their mouths shut. Cohen should know better and I don't know what he is thinking about. Danials just may be slightly stupid.
Neither one should be saying anything during this whole trial. If they think every jurist in there doesn't watch tv or look at the internet when they get away from the court, then they're just plain dumb.

Mar-a-Lago it isn’t.

NEW YORK — My friend and former colleague Benjamin Wittes, editor in chief of Lawfare .. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/ .. , has provided indispensable legal analysis during Donald Trump’s hush money trial. But his most important insight into the trial is the need for cushioning.
Sign up for the Prompt 2024 newsletter for opinions on the biggest questions in politics
When I arrived at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse early Monday morning for a few days of Trump trial tourism, I found Wittes in line holding not one but two pillows: an orthopedic doughnut to sit on and a padded, wraparound lap desk. If I didn’t do the same, he warned, “you’ll come away with injuries.”
He was vindicated within an hour of my arrival in the courthouse.
The courthouse, completed in 1941, apparently has not been updated much since then, nor even maintained. Its seats are hard, wooden pews with curved backs that accentuate the customary journalist slouch as we hunch over our laptops.
Posters warning of asbestos abatement hang in the lobby. The bathrooms have malfunctioning taps, missing toilet paper holders and what looks like years of grime on the floor. The courtrooms have almost no electrical power or internet connectivity, forcing those covering the Trump trial to lug backpacks full of enormous batteries, cables and hotspots. Temperatures fluctuate madly (a source of much irritation to the defendant .. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/05/03/trump-napping-gaza-protestors-hush-money-trial/?itid=lk_inline_manual_9 ). The hallways are dark and green, and the fluorescent-lit courtrooms have names such as “Part 59” and “Part 75.” The elevators groan and creak; on the 15th floor, where the Trump trial is held, two of us had to manually push an elevator’s doors closed to get the carriage moving down to the lobby.
Mar-a-Lago it isn’t. This place, built on the site of a 19th-century prison and gallows complex called “the Tombs,” may be as close as Trump gets to prison — and it’s a reasonable facsimile. Attendees get colored “hall passes” that allow them to go to the restroom. Dozens of police guards bark orders (“We’re locking it down!”) and impose byzantine rules: No eating in the rooms, and no loitering in the halls unless you are eating. Multiple layers of security make it so difficult to reenter the building that reporters pack their lunches and eat on benches, or any other space they can claim, on unused floors of the building.
Those wishing to attend the proceedings start to line up around 6 a.m. for the 9:30 a.m. trial, in the middle of a media bivouac of satellite trucks, stand-up platforms and acres of police barriers. Those admitted to the courtroom (one reporter per outlet) and the overflow room (where video and audio are piped in) can’t watch Trump’s rants in the hallway, just steps away, and those in the “pool” to watch Trump’s rants can’t watch the trial.
Still, there are small pleasures: On the TV screens in the overflow room, right under the video feed of Trump at the defense table, is a chyron displaying the words “New York County Supreme Criminal.”

I expected to spend much of my year covering Trump this way, watching his trials in New York, D.C., Georgia and Florida. But suddenly, this trial — the least important of the four — looks like it will be the only one to get underway before the election.
In Florida on Tuesday, Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee and a thorough Trump partisan, postponed indefinitely his trial in the classified documents case. In Georgia on Wednesday, an appeals court agreed to hear an appeal from Trump that will almost certainly block the racketeering trial there from occurring this year. Last month, a Trump-friendly majority on the Supreme Court signaled that it would handle Trump’s sweeping immunity claims in such a way that will likely postpone his trial in the Jan. 6, 2021, case until after the election.

For a candidate who moans nonstop about a “rigged” justice system, it looks more as though the deck is stacked in his favor. Yet Trump may be sorry when his time in court comes to an end in a couple of weeks. He will no longer be able to claim that his obligations in court keep him from the campaign trail (he tends to play golf on his days away from the trial anyway), and he won’t be able to complain about how he’s being persecuted by prosecutors and judges.
In the hush money trial, he’s practically begging to be jailed for contempt of court. Justice Juan Merchan .. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/03/31/trump-judge-merchan-indictment/?itid=lk_inline_manual_21 , finding Trump in contempt for a 10th time on Monday for violating a gag order preventing Trump from attacking witnesses, pleaded: “Mr. Trump, it’s important to understand that the last thing I want to do is to put you in jail. You are the former president of the United States and possibly the next president, as well. There are many reasons why incarceration is truly a last resort for me.”
Yet 48 hours later, before Stormy Daniels’s testimony, Trump toyed with the judge some more. He posted and then deleted a message on his Truth Social platform about the “CROOKED” judge “threatening me with JAIL,” while also claiming the judge left “no time for lawyers to prepare” for Daniels. (Her name had been on the witness list for months.)

I came to New York expecting to see Trump doze off during his trial .. https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/of-interest/2024/04/23/trump-asleep-nod-off-trial/?itid=lk_inline_manual_24 . Instead, I was struggling to stay awake myself.
Prosecutors don’t announce the order of witnesses, as a precaution to keep Trump from attacking them. So after waiting for three hours Monday morning to secure a seat, I learned that I was in for a day of accounting testimony — important to the case, but deadly tedious.
“Is this another MDS voucher?”
“What’s the voucher number?”
“What account is this coming from?”
“And the invoice amount?”
“Is there a check number on the stub?”
“What is it?”
Over, and over, and over again.
The only relief Monday was provided by Trump’s lawyers, who complained about everything, no matter how picayune, and without regard to whether their complaint had any truth. Trump lawyer Todd Blanche complained at length that the defense had not been provided with the name of one of the witnesses; her name was on the list of witnesses publicly disclosed during jury selection. Blanche argued that having the witness recalled to provide additional testimony would prejudice the jury against the defense. The testimony in question? The witness was going to read three of Trump’s tweets.
In the courtroom that morning, Trump’s lawyers tried to delay the day’s proceedings so they could raise more objections to the judge; outside the courtroom in the afternoon, Trump complained that the trial was taking too long.
But Tuesday brought blessed relief from the tedium. A witness from the publisher of “Trump: How to Get Rich” testified.
“What’s depicted in the cover photo?”
“Donald J. Trump.”
“And what’s the largest word on the cover?”
“Trump.”
“And what percentage of the cover is the word ‘Trump’?”
“It looks about roughly 30 percent to me.”
The prosecutor then had the witness read passages from the book, such as: “For many years I’ve said that if someone screws you, screw them back. When somebody hurts you, just go after them as viciously and as violently as you can.”
In cross examination, Blanche tried to suggest Trump’s “ghostwriter” was behind such sentiments
— and moments later denied to the judge that he had done any such thing.
Then came the storm.
The content of Daniels’s testimony wasn’t new — she had written or said most of it before — but hearing the prurient account in open court, with Trump at the defense table, was still stunning. It stunned Trump, for the judge had to admonish him, through his lawyers, for “cursing audibly.”
[LOL Chickens coming, Donald, m' lad. See the chickens comin...]
“Mr. Blanche, did you speak to your client?” Merchan asked after a break.
“Yes, your honor,” Blanche replied.
After watching Daniels testify .. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/05/08/stormy-daniels-donald-trump-hush-money/?itid=lk_inline_manual_54 .. on Tuesday, I abandoned my trial tourism. When Daniels returned to the stand for continued cross-examination Thursday morning, I “watched” it through the eyes of my Post colleagues (who report the action in live updates) and those of Lawfare’s Tyler McBrien (who live-tweets .. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1788532635884528013.html .. so fast it’s like a transcript). The attacks on the adult-film star were ferocious, but Daniels didn’t lose her poise.
Trump lawyer Susan Necheles invoked Daniels’s 2018 “Make America Horny Again” tour, and she displayed the products Daniels has sold, including a “Stormy, Saint of Indictments” candle. “That was you selling your merchandise, right?” Necheles asked.
“That is me doing my job,” answered Daniels, who noted that her own crass commercializing was “not unlike Mr. Trump.”
Necheles, who asserted that Daniels has “a lot of experience making phony stories about sex appear to be real,” asked her: “And now you have a story you have been telling about having sex with President Trump; right?”
Replied Daniels: “And if that story was untrue, I would have written it to be a lot better.”
Necheles was skeptical that Daniels, after acting in “over 200 porn movies,” would really become lightheaded, as Daniels claimed, after seeing Trump on a bed in a T-shirt and boxer shorts.
“Yes,” Daniels rejoined. “When you are not expecting a man twice your age to be in their underwear.”
The Trump lawyer asked Daniels if she knew what was in the indictment against Trump.
“There was a lot of indictments,” Daniels responded, to laughter.
Necheles mentioned a Daniels tweet saying she was “the best person to flush the orange turd down,” then asked: “You said you were going to ‘flush’ President Trump?”
“I didn’t say ‘President Trump,’” Daniels shot back. “It says ‘orange turd.’ So, if that’s what’s interpreted by you …”
There was more laughter in the courtroom. Or so I’m told. By this time, I was sitting at home in an ergonomic office chair with plenty of memory foam.

President Biden’s decision to withhold offensive weapons if Israel attacks Rafah has scrambled cease-fire talks. But much of the various sides’ recriminations may be to gain advantage — or shift blame.

By Peter Baker
Reporting from Washington
May 9, 2024
To understand what is happening now in the Middle East, it may be helpful to remember the dead cat.
That was a favorite metaphor for Secretary of State James A. Baker III as he shuttled around the region in 1991 trying to negotiate a complicated deal. With each recalcitrant player, Mr. Baker would threaten to “leave the dead cat” at their door — in other words, to make sure they were the ones blamed if the whole thing fell apart.
The question three decades later is whether today’s players are at that stage of the U.S.-brokered effort to negotiate a cease-fire in Gaza. Much of what the world is seeing at the moment is aimed at least in part at gaining advantage at the bargaining table, outmaneuvering other players and deflecting responsibility if no consensus is reached, leaving the brutal seven-month war to rage on.
Hamas released videos of hostages .. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/04/27/world/israel-gaza-war-hamas , presumably to remind the world of the stakes of the talks and raise the temperature on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, who is already under enormous public pressure to secure their release. Mr. Netanyahu in recent days mounted airstrikes and sent tanks into Rafah .. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/07/world/middleeast/israeli-rafah-gaza-ceasefire.html#:~:text=The%20Israeli%20military%20said%20on,four%20Israeli%20soldiers%20on%20Sunday. .. in a saber-rattling move to make clear he is serious about invading the southern Gaza city. President Biden froze a shipment of American bombs to demonstrate that he is equally serious about curbing Israel’s arms supply .. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/us/politics/biden-bombs-israel.html .. if it does attack.
“Much of it is performative between Israel and Hamas, drawing a page from Baker’s dead-cat diplomacy,” said Aaron David Miller, who was part of Mr. Baker’s team at the time. “Part of the motivation is less to reach a deal and more to blame the other guy if it fails. The only party that’s really in a hurry is Biden.”
“And sure, he’s worried about Palestinian deaths if Bibi goes big in Rafah,” Mr. Miller added, using Mr. Netanyahu’s nickname. “But he also knows it will make any negotiation” at that point “all but impossible.”
The essence of a proposal on the table would call for a temporary cease-fire in exchange for the release of hostages. Israel would also free
hundreds of Palestinians in its prisons, allow people to return to the northern part of Gaza and facilitate an increase in humanitarian
aid. Hatem Khaled/Reuters
The prospects for an agreement appeared increasingly distant on Thursday .. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/09/world/israel-gaza-war-hamas-rafah/cease-fire-talks-are-put-on-hold-as-tempers-flare-over-israeli-actions-in-rafah?smid=url-share .. as William J. Burns, the C.I.A. director who has been Mr. Biden’s main negotiator, left Cairo without a deal. Delegations from Israel and Hamas also departed, although midlevel officials from the United States and its fellow intermediaries, Egypt and Qatar, remained in Cairo to continue discussions in hopes of salvaging the process.
In theory, the main interlocutors were taking a break to see what Israel does with what it is calling a “limited” operation in Rafah .. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/05/08/world/middleeast/israel-incursion-rafah-satellite-image-map.html . Reports from Cairo indicated that tempers were raw as various sides accused one another of bad faith, though American officials insist a deal is still possible.
This is the historic challenge for any negotiation in a region known for opaque intrigues, as Mr. Baker, Henry A. Kissinger and generations of other American deal-makers have learned so painfully. Much of what happens in the daylight is about posturing. Much of what really matters takes place in shadows within shadows.
Figuring out hidden motivations and actual red lines can elude even veterans of the region. All of the players at the table have domestic politics back home to keep in mind. None of them fully trusts the others. A new counteroffer can be a genuine effort to break a logjam or a clever way to put adversaries on the defensive.
The core question each side asks about the others is who really wants a deal and at what cost? Or is the whole thing just for show to claim the public high road?
“Much of what we are seeing is aimed in part at trying to gain advantage in the negotiations, but the sum total has been putting a deal farther off rather than making one come together,” said Michael Koplow, chief policy officer of the Israel Policy Forum.
The essence of a proposal on the table would call for a temporary cease-fire in exchange for the release of hostages. Israel would also free hundreds of Palestinians in its prisons, allow people to return to the northern part of Gaza and facilitate an expansive increase in humanitarian aid.
The first phase of the deal is where all sides appear closest to agreement. In that opening stage, Israel would call off hostilities for 42 days and Hamas would turn over 33 women, older men and sick and wounded hostages it seized during its Oct. 7 terrorist attack, although some of them would be the remains of those who died. A second phase would extend the cease-fire another 42 days and result in the release of more hostages and Palestinian prisoners.
The most vexing dispute centers on whether the deal would eventually lead to a permanent end to the war, which Hamas insists on and Israel has refused to guarantee. American negotiators have called for negotiating a “sustainable calm” after the cease-fire begins, without defining that precisely.
Mr. Netanyahu’s actions in Rafah in recent days, though, have complicated the dynamics. He has said he would invade Rafah “with or without a deal .. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/30/world/middleeast/netanyahu-invasion-rafah-cease-fire.html ,” a vow that Hamas predictably considered a deal-killer. He also ordered limited strikes in Rafah in response to Hamas rocket attacks that killed four Israeli soldiers.
The prospects for an agreement appeared increasingly distant on Thursday as William J. Burns, the C.I.A. director who has been Mr. Biden’s
main negotiator, left Cairo without a deal. Kent Nishimura for The New York Times
Mr. Biden has long objected to an assault on Rafah, where more than one million Palestinians have taken refuge, because he has seen no war plan that would not result in extensive civilian casualties. After months of warning Mr. Netanyahu against a Rafah operation, Mr. Biden finally took action after U.S. officials detected Israeli moves that they considered a prelude to an invasion. By pausing delivery of 3,500 bombs .. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/07/us/politics/israel-biden-arms.html , Mr. Biden signaled that he will not provide more offensive weapons that would enable an attack on Rafah.
“Biden thinks that preventing a Rafah operation will force Israel to negotiate more concretely, and Netanyahu thinks that a new military operation will pressure Hamas to dial down its demands,” said Mr. Koplow. “But Netanyahu’s insistence that a Rafah operation will come no matter what sort of temporary cease-fire Israel agrees to removes any incentive for Hamas to negotiate.”
Moreover, he added, “Biden’s pressure to prevent any type of operation in Rafah also removes any Hamas incentive since” Yahya Sinwar, .. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/16/world/middleeast/hamas-leader-yehya-sinwar-gaza-israel.html .. the Hamas military leader believed to be hiding out in the tunnels of Gaza, “can reasonably assume that he will soon get a de facto cease-fire for free so long as he continues to hold out.”
Mr. Koplow noted that Hamas has made demands to which it could not plausibly expect Israel to agree, like insisting that Palestinian prisoners released in the first phase be produced before all Israeli hostages have been released and insisting that Israel get no veto over who is freed. “Thus, they are perhaps more than any party here making a successful negotiation impossible,” he said.
But the dynamics have changed significantly in recent weeks. Mr. Biden originally said he was against an assault on Rafah unless and until he could be shown a plan by Israel that would minimize civilian casualties. After multiple consultations about Israeli war plans, Mr. Biden has effectively said that such a plan is not possible and that he opposes any major operation in Rafah.
“The blinking yellow light has turned a hard red,” said John Hannah, a senior fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America who previously served as national security adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney. “If that holds, it’s a huge change.”
As a result, Mr. Hannah said, U.S. and Israeli interests, which were fairly aligned at the beginning of the war following the Hamas terrorist attack, have diverged sharply, transforming the negotiations.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday he was willing to keep going with Israel’s war even without Mr. Biden. “If we need

While Mr. Netanyahu has said Israel’s mission is to destroy Hamas, the White House now sees that as an impossible goal
[Insert: That was abundantly clear from the first day Netanyahu said it. ]
and that Israel has already done lasting damage to ensure Hamas is not the threat it once was. Moreover, Mr. Biden is eager to broker a broader agreement that would transform the region by linking the United States closer to Saudi Arabia, which would extend diplomatic recognition to Israel for the first time — something impossible to imagine as long as the Gaza war continues.
“The president wants this war to end now — even if it comes at the price of allowing a much-degraded Hamas and its leadership to survive for the time being,” said Mr. Hannah. “He believes that he’s got much bigger fish to fry in terms of his re-election and regional agenda. In that sense, Israel and U.S. conceptions of a cease-fire and hostage deal are no longer aligned, but at loggerheads.”
Mr. Netanyahu said on Thursday he was willing to keep going with the war even without Mr. Biden. “If we need to stand alone, we will stand alone,” he said. But he has said that before even as he welcomed U.S. arms. Does he mean that now or is it the public position he has to take before negotiators return to the table? Is he really willing to alienate Israel’s closest and most important ally or does he use Mr. Biden’s position as a way to explain to his public why he backed down?
Those, of course, are not the only questions. Is Mr. Biden, who insists that his support for Israel is “ironclad,” really willing to cut off more offensive weapons at the price of heated criticism at home from Republicans and some pro-Israel Democrats accusing him of abandoning Israel?
As for Hamas, are its leaders willing to make concessions to avoid a devastating assault on Rafah? Or do they think such an operation might work to the group’s benefit by further ostracizing Israel from the rest of the world?
At the rate things are going, someone may soon find the cat on the front step. And many could pay the price.

Wonder If I’ll Ever Get These Details from Stormy Daniels’s Testimony Out of My Head
Her final day on the stand in the hush-money trial was a doozy.
By Charles P. Pierce PUBLISHED: MAY 09, 2024 8:51 PM EDT
former president donald trump's hush money trial continues in new york
The Stormy has passed in New York. Daniels, née Clifford, finished up on the stand on Thursday, and she apparently did so with a flourish, engaging in some fireworks with defense counsel Susan Necheles. For her part, the witness seemed to edge toward accusing the defendant of having forced her into a sexual encounter, and Necheles tried to impugn Daniels’s credibility. From The Washington Post:
At one point, Necheles bluntly suggested that Daniels’s long career in adult films made her predisposed to make up things about sex—including her encounter with Trump. “You have a lot of experience making phony stories about sex appear to be real?” Necheles asked, suggesting that Daniels made up the details of her sexual encounter with Trump.
“Wow,” Daniels said, then added: “If that story were untrue, I would have written it to be a lot better.”
Necheles pressed Daniels on her previous comments that she was so shaken when she saw Trump sitting in his hotel room in 2006 that she became lightheaded and almost fainted. “When you are not expecting a man twice your age in his underwear, absolutely,” Daniels said.
Hard to argue with that. Also very hard to lose the image in your head, either.
Another topic that fueled tension between the two was the slogan for Daniels’s 2018 tour of strip clubs: “Make America Horny Again.” Necheles argued that the slogan showed Daniels was glad to promote her connection to Trump. Daniels has said she hated the slogan and had never posted it herself, even if some promoters had. But on Thursday, Necheles presented two Instagram posts where Daniels used the slogan, and the witness conceded she had in fact posted it.
Defense wins the point here. Sort of like “Buy Trump Vodka,” “Buy Trump Steaks,” “Trump University—for Your Future,” and “Presidential Immunity.”
Daniels was followed onto the witness stand by a former Oval Office aide named Madeleine Westerhout, who lost no time in casting Donald and Melania as the parents from Little House with the Golden Commode on the Prairie.
Prosecutors asked witness Madeleine Westerhout—who was Trump’s assistant in the White House—about the former president’s relationship with his wife, Melania Trump. Westerhout described it as a “very special” marriage and said that they would laugh when Melania visited his office, and that the former president would communicate with her when he was running late. “He was my boss but she was the one in charge,” answered Westerhout.
A prosecutor asked Madeleine Westerhout whether she was nervous to testify, and Westerhout replied: “I am now.” Donald Trump smiled.
The current witness is going through a list of Donald Trump’s contacts that he requested be transferred from the Trump Organization to his White House list in 2017. That list included American Media Inc. CEO David Pecker, a key witness in this case, along with names such as Bill O’Reilly, Serena Williams and Jeanine Pirro.
Poor Serena Williams, getting her name tossed into that landfill.

another excellent underrated band by the way... I'm still trying to teach the cat on the washboard and the dog is more of a free spirit than I first envisioned so we are working hard to find a spot for her. She turned the harp into a chew toy but that was to be expected.
One day we will put this band together... We get along so far but our breakup is always looming over our shoulders. ☹️

Johnny Cash redid "Hurt", after which Trent Reznor said it was Johnny Cash's song now. Johnny Cash did a great job with it.
Reznor said that was one of his most personal songs, it was like watching someone with your girlfriend, but he was really impressed with the remake.
As far as The Devil....
I guess that between Second City, The Onion and the performance of some of our pro sports teams, Chicago will continue to do 'funny', well.😂
New Chicago-based company Global Tetrahedron wants to make The Onion great again
Parent company Global Tetrahedron has big plans to diversify the satire news website’s revenue streams and bring back a print edition
By Amy Yee May 10, 2024, 6:00am CDT

https://chicago.suntimes.com/money/2024/05/10/onion-chicago-owner-global-tetrahedron-satire-news
We break down complex business news to help you understand how money moves in Chicago and how it affects you.
A tech CEO, a disinformation reporter and two social media experts enter a Zoom call. It might sound like the start of a joke, but that’s how four near-strangers bought the Chicago-based satire website The Onion.
The owners formed a new Chicago-based company called Global Tetrahedron and bought The Onion last month from G/O Media for an undisclosed sum. Global Tetrahedron is a fictional company that grew into a “multinational behemoth” in The Onion’s 1999 book “Our Dumb Century.”
The four owners include: Jeff Lawson, co-founder and former CEO of cloud communications group Twilio, who became the The Onion’s majority owner and chairperson; Ben Collins, The Onion’s newly-minted CEO and former NBC News disinformation reporter; Leila Brillson, previously a marketer for TikTok, Disney and dating app Bumble, who is the site’s chief marketing officer and The Onion’s new Chief Product Officer Danielle Strle, former product director of Tumblr.
They connected after news circulated in January that G/O Media — owner of media outlets like The Root, Gizmodo and Quartz — wanted to sell the mock news website. Only Collins and Strle knew each other before.
Collins took notice and in a post on the social media platform Bluesky, he asked how he could buy The Onion.
Brillson saw Collins’ post and messaged him on LinkedIn as “all Millennials do,” and wrote, “ ‘sup dude, how do we buy The Onion?” He introduced her to Strle, and then Collins eventually connected with Lawson.
On April 25, Collins posted on X: “My friends and I now own and run The Onion … We’re keeping the entire staff, bringing back The Onion News Network, and [will] share the wealth with staff. Basically, we’re going to let them do whatever they want. Get excited.”
Midwestern roots
The Onion and its 17 employees will stay in Chicago. Lawson will remain in San Francisco while Collins will move to Chicago from New York. Strle will stay in New York. Brillson, who grew up near Lincoln Park, was already based in Chicago.
Brillson said The Onion’s “second city” base gives it “a Midwestern and everyman sensibility that makes it more relevant to everyone.”
Jordan LaFlure, managing editor of The Onion, is from Indianapolis and started reading The Onion in the fourth grade. He’s lived in the Chicago area since 2009.
“We will remain a national brand, but we want Chicagoans to know we’re in Chicago,” LaFlure said.
He and Brillson spoke while sitting in the writers room at The Onion’s River North office. On the wall hung a gold-framed portrait of a grinning, bespectacled man with the label: “Most Incompetent Coworker Once Again Shines at Halloween Office Party.” Action figures, a plastic cockroach and a box of Girl Scout Cookies sat on the conference room table.
Brillson has been an Onion fan since high school and has clear memories of reading it out loud and laughing — even after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 when humor was a salve. She read The Onion “religiously” because there was a box with print copies outside the Chicago restaurant where she once worked.
The new owners have grand plans to revive The Onion. Global Tetrahedron’s tongue-in-cheek website lists among its values: “Porcupine Breeding: Our innovation extends beyond ideas that have a clear path to monetization.”
Beyond rodent reproduction, Lawson has said on X that its plan is to introduce "... new products and [get] into new mediums. But more than anything - this is about unleashing the creative team that’s been making you laugh for over 30 years. Letting these amazing writers do what they do best. I can’t wait to see what you pee in your pants.”
Brillson said The Onion was “knee-capped” by its previous owners, G/O Media. The company pigeonholed it as a website rather than a strong multimedia brand with books, a social media presence and big potential for merchandise, live events, partnerships and more, she said.
Leila Brillson sits in a chair behind a conference table in the writers room at The Onion's River North office.
There are plans to bring back a print edition of The Onion, though it won’t be the weekly it once was. The website will remain free, and Brillson brainstormed ideas such as offering memberships to The Onion and special offers like extra jokes.
“We want to unshackle the writers, find more than one revenue stream, let people do what they’re good at and hopefully profit,” she said.
LaFlure said G/O Media prioritized getting impressions on banner ads. Writers were dissuaded from focusing on creating social media content because it didn’t generate banner ad views. They also couldn’t explore other formats such as longer stories, he said.
According to digital intelligence company Similarweb, The Onion’s “deduplicated unique visitors, worldwide” was 1.2 million in April, down from 1.7 million in April 2022. Visitors reached 1.8 million in April 2021. It also reported that more than 58% of viewers were male and about 45% of its audience were ages 25 to 44.
It’s no surprise that Brillson, previously head of social at Bumble and the former social lead at TikTok, is enthusiastic about The Onion capitalizing on social media.
“An Onion headline is usually the joke, which lends itself so well to social media,” Brillson said.
Some favorites include “Black Guy Asks Nation For Change,” referring to former President Barack Obama, “Kitten Thinks Of Nothing But Murder All Day” and “Winner Didn’t Even Know It Was Pie-Eating Contest.”
LaFlure believes the Global Tetrahedron’s long-standing love of The Onion will make a big difference.
“Their willingness to invest in a distressed property and wait for a turnaround seems like a blessing,” he said. “I’m feeling renewed and rejuvenated in a way I didn’t think was possible. We of course want to conquer the world, but getting there will take time.”

No Joke
The humor website, self-described as “America’s Finest News Source,” was founded in 1988 by two University of Wisconsin-Madison students, initially as a print publication. The paper moved to New York City in 2000 then relocated to Chicago in 2012.
The Onion has big ambitions but like many media outlets, it faces the daunting challenge of becoming financially sustainable.
For more than two decades, media companies have been decimated by a loss of subscribers and advertising revenue.
Last year, outlets such as The Washington Post and NPR let go of hundreds of journalists. Media layoffs have continued in 2024 with the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Business Insider, Time magazine and others slashing hundreds of jobs. Chicago Public Media, parent company of the Sun-Times, also laid off staff in April.
G/O Media, which bought The Onion in 2019, has seen a whirlwind of sales and restructuring. In March, it sold websites The AV Club and The Takeout. Last year, it shut down Jezebel and laid off 23 staffers before selling the feminist news site to Paste Magazine.
In January, The Onion and other G/O Media staff narrowly averted a strike by reaching an agreement on a new contract. The Onion’s new owners said they will honor the three-year union contract.
LaFlure said under its previous ownership, “the dearth of resources narrowed our ambition. Now, with a better, more sympathetic owner and leadership team, we’re going to be able to increase the scope of what we do. People better watch out.”

Independent Party ID Tied for High; Democratic ID at New Low
https://news.gallup.com/poll/548459/independent-party-tied-high-democratic-new-low.asp
43% identified as independents in 2023, tying 2014 record
Record-low 27% identify as Democrats, tying Republicans
Republicans maintain slight edge in leaned party identification
Ideological identification steady; conservatives, moderates largest groups
Thanks for playing.
the dated article is not even represented as a poll, it was a phone survey. Thanks for attempting to deceive, yet again. You make people dumber by reading your pap.
lol I'm a registered republican this year. You really need to pay attention to what happens in the voters booth and quit giving credence to your polling numbers.
I'm not sure what your end game is but it's not working. I plugged it into the game theory equation that you love so much and have never studied but it turns out that you're a loser.
If anything it proves that we need to gear up and vote for democracy this year and not for a tyrant and his sycophants who will strip us of all of our human rights and leave 10 year old rape victims and grown women to die in hospital parking lots, along with anyone else who you need to take health insurance away from.
Thanks for playing.......There is a reason for this
Voters Who Identify As Independents Skyrocket—As Democrats And Republicans Dwindle
https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2024/01/12/voters-who-identify-as-independents-skyrocket---as-democrats-and-republicans-dwindle/?sh=37c2c0003331
The percentage of U.S. adults who said they identify as Democrats fell to 27%, according to the survey of more than 12,000 U.S. adults in 2023, representing a drop from 30% in 2020, 31% in 2016 and a record 36% in 2008 and 1998.
Participants in the survey were asked if they consider themselves Democrats, Republicans or independents.
That low ties the percentage of Americans who identify as Republicans, at 27%, marking the first time since 2005 that the same number of U.S. adults identify with the two political parties.
Republican identification fell slightly from 2022, when 28% of Americans considered themselves members of the GOP, though Republican identification has remained steady for nearly 15 years, hovering between 25% and 29% since the 2008 election.
Independents, meanwhile, have continued to rise, tying a high of 43% last year, according to the Gallup telephone survey, over the 41% of adults that identified as independent in 2022, 42% in 2021 and 39% in 2020—independent identification also reached 43% in 2014.
KEY BACKGROUND
Democratic identification has slipped by one percentage point each of the last three years—from 30% in 2020—following a similar trajectory to President Joe Biden’s slumping presidential approval rating following his inauguration in January 2021. While Biden’s approval rating hit a high in March 2021 at just above 55%, it slid throughout 2021 as Biden faced pushback for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Though it recovered in August 2022 around the passing of Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, his approval rating continued to slide over the course of his presidency, to 38.9% this month, according to FiveThirtyEight’s weighted polling average. A New York Times/Siena College poll in November found Biden trailing former President Donald Trump in five key battleground states in a hypothetical presidential rematch, though Biden argued, without evidence, that most recent polls show him tied with Trump or beating him.
Entertain us with your thoughts on who would seriously entertain booking a ticket on the Titanic, uh, I mean becoming Trump's VP candidate.
Republicans Fret Over Donald Trump Losing GOP Voters
Source: Newsweek
Published May 10, 2024 at 7:37 AM EDT
A number of Republican figures are voicing concerns about Donald Trump still losing votes to Nikki Haley, and that this is increasing the need for the former president to choose the correct 2024 running mate.
GOP figures said that Trump must decide on the next potential vice president carefully if he hopes to win back the significant support the former South Carolina governor is getting in the primaries despite dropping out of the race two months ago.
On Tuesday, Haley managed to gain 21.7 percent of the vote, amounting to more than 128,000 votes, in the Indiana primary. It is the latest sign Trump is still struggling to win over Republican voters beyond his MAGA base. The results in Indiana followed on from Haley achieving more than 155,000 votes (16.5 percent) in the GOP primary in the key swing state of Pennsylvania on April 23, even though she dropped out of the race in March.
The concerns also arrive as South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem appears to have severely damaged her chances of being named Trump's next running mate. She received major backlash for revealing in her book No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong With Politics and How We Move America Forward how she shot and killed her 14-month-old farm dog because of its aggressive behavior 20 years ago.

you need to stop with the generalizations. You have no fucking idea how anyone else outside your home lives their life and neither does anyone else.
I'm probably an example for someone who shares too much but it is just me, I need to do it for myself.
You can't be putting us all into groups. This is how the whole problem started.
We used to be a nation that all got along with one another and nobody cared who you voted for but assholes like you created a rift in that trust.
If that's the way you want to go out, that's fine with me but I'm always going to work hard to keep us all together after you're gone... It's in my nature
Repub politicians may want to own libs, play the gotcha game that is so prevalent for them and media
Sounds like you are self-identifying. Except your political skills could only be matched by your lack of parenting skills, going by what you have said on here.
Would anyone but an abject troll attack the the members this board, indeed the board itself, several times per day and expect any level of respect? Disrupting people by repetitive attacks not related to what anyone else is discussing is mostly just rude, narcissistic, and tedious. Which is a red hat trademark. Your charade fools no one, except maybe you.
