Elise Stefanik: From Young Congresswoman to Trump's UN Ambassador Nominee

Elise Stefanik: A Rising Star in Trump’s Administration Representative Elise Stefanik from New York has established herself as one of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s most unwavering supporters over the years. She has consistently defended him during his two impeachment trials, amplified his unfounded claims regarding the 2020 election, and rallied behind his resurgence campaign. On Monday, her…

Petition to replace Samuel Alito and/or Clarence Thomas on SCOTUS with literally any one of the average New Yorkers who voted to convict Trump today.

Hey, maybe I’m missing something in the whole “Trump is arguing he’s immune to prosecution because he was president” situation but doesn’t it say RIGHT FUCKING HERE IN THE GODDAMN CONSTITUTION

TRANSCRIPTION: “Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.”

Constitution of the United States, Article 1, Section 3

Does that… not say all that needs to be said on the matter? I’m honestly baffled.

Biden: “What’s happening in Gaza is not genocide.”

What a truly harrowing and remarkably misguided statement. I don’t understand how saying that can allow you to sleep well at night.

From the October 6, 2023 article:

Now Trump’s attorneys, having successfully argued that he couldn’t be convicted during his impeachment because the criminal courts were the only appropriate venue, are arguing that he can’t be held accountable in criminal court because he wasn’t convicted during his impeachment.

Tim Miller at The Bulwark looks at Donald Trump's third (and biggest) indictment.

There will probably be a fourth indictment related to Trump's famous January 2021 phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Stay tuned.

Tim also reminds us how Republicans had a chance to rid themselves of the burden of Trump at the second impeachment trial but blew it and are now stuck with him because of their cowardice in 2021.

@thefringeperson Well, you see, I think the only Official crime that gets someone disqualified from becoming president is sedition/treason, and he hasn’t even been officially accused of either. Plus the Supreme Court just did a unanimous decision saying that states cannot remove him from the ballot, so… yes. With Nikki Haley officially dropping out, he is the Republican nominee

Have the guts to look them all in the eye and warn them first.

Sunday Afternoon Is Made For 'Toons!!!

A lazy Sunday afternoon … cloudy and cold again.  Two days ago it reached 81° and today’s high is 42° … a bit of a change there!  So, time to hang around the house, maybe have a bit of a snooze as daughter Chris is doing at this very moment, and … a few chuckles might be nice, too.  So, brought to you by all the best cartoonists in the land like Clay Jones, Mike Luckovich, Jeff Danziger and many…

#omg now i’m imagining the ‘you’re wrong about’ ep about the yellowjackets crash#i need to hear sarah marshall defending shauna shipman#‘today i’m joined by blair braverman to talk about probably the third largest media storm of the 90s after oj and monika lewinsky’#‘shauna shipman had the audacity to have sex as a teen girl and then not die about it so tabloids HAD to destroy her life’#yj @jewberry-scone

yeah, if 6 teenage girls and 1 teenage boy had emerged from the Canadian wilderness after 19 months with a 1 year old baby in tow, there would've been no escaping the media hellstorm. They would've been on 20/20 within 3 months. One group interview and a few candids of Shauna holding the baby would've been the price they'd all have had to pay in order to be left tf alone because while in 2023 society pretends to care about trauma, PTSD, and teens' mental health, this was the 90s--when Nicole Brown Simpson was blamed for her own murder, Lorena Bobbit was a late-night punchline, R. Kelly marrying 15 y/o Aalyiah was an open secret, grown men were calling into radio stations to speculate on 16 y/o Britney Spears' virginity, and Monica Lewinsky was doxxed and getting death threats for sucking off Bill Clinton.

What I'm saying is:

Seven teens (the girls + Travis) surviving against the odds for 19 months is the epilogue to a tragedy with enough unanswered questions to keep true crime nerds speculating & reporters digging.

But them being found with an infant? Had it come out that one of the girls was pregnant and gave birth during the ordeal? That's mainstream tabloid fodder. The kind that not even "papers of repute" would turn their noses up at. Barbara Walters, Lesley Stahl, and Mike Wallace would be beating each other and TMZ down to get the first interview, the first photo of the baby. NBC would've backed a U-Haul full of money onto the Shipman's, the Martinez', and the Sadecki's front yard (because speculation as to who the actual father really was would be kept going until it came directly from the source). Did she know she was pregnant when she got on the plane? Who else knew? What was it like giving birth? Did any of the other girls get pregnant? How many of the girls did Travis do it with? Weren't any of them afraid of the same thing happening to them? Did doing it help them cope?

And it wouldn't just be the media. Doctors, child development specialists, psychologists, sociologists, and academics would be calling non-stop to get Shauna and the baby to participate in clinical trials and studies.

The only way they'd have been left alone is if they'd done a televised interview and ended it by pleading to be allowed to go on with their lives in peace
