This appears to be how Garland has decided to deal with Judge Aileen Cannon’s illegal attempt to block all reports from being made public.
… So, Garland will release the report dealing with the most important work Jack Smith did with the greatest amount of evidence and testimony that has never been seen before by the public - the J6 case - and ignore Cannon’s order on that since she clearly has no jurisdiction over it and just continues to go rogue
… Politico’s Alex Isenstadt has a book coming out called, ‘Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power’. He conducted over 300 interviews for the book and acquired internal memos and recordings from the Trump campaign. He reveals that Trump got the questions in advance from Fox before his big Town Hall with Bret Baier, which is something Trump always accuses Democrats of, going all the way back to his debates with Hillary Clinton.
so Trump got the questions in advance, much like Boris Johnson did from Kuenssberg for his approval.
Wouldn't be surprised if Johnson gave Kuenssberg the questions.Quote:

"I was with the president of Finland, and he said: 'We have a much different [sic]..., we're a forest nation.' And they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don't have any problem," he added.'

This is not an original thought, but does anyone think it strange that Trump never complains about the attempt on his life? He moans and whines about every other alleged slight, but never says a word about his assassination attempt?
He forgot it happened? I’m younger than him but I forget a helluva lotQuote:

i'm starting to think he's actually funny, he likes telling jokes anyway

I know he is mentally challenged but how can he say that on Monday blah blah blah, the External Revenue Service will be set up. Does he mean the daft idea of this service will be born. If he is serious, would this not take months to debate and be passed or rejected by the various sections of government? Does he seriously think he has unilateral rights to do what the f*** he wants.Quote:

Well you would think he should be aware of this. What’s he on about?Quote:

A paint job on the sign above the door of the CBP is all it will take.
That already happened the last time. China was the American primary export market for their soy bean harvest. China slapped equivalent, retaliatory tariffs on US soy beans, and their importers immediately switched to other markets, particularly Brazil. They also changed their livestock feed to be less dependant on soy. As a result, US soy farmers were left with harvests they couldn't sell.Quote:
