BREAKING: Donald Trump is dealt a crushing defeat as a New York judge rejects his claim to presidential immunity in the hush money case — hilariously pointing out that Trump waited too long to submit the claim.

And it gets even better...

Judge Juan Merchan decision knocks out one of Trump's major hopes for delaying his hush money trial, which is slated to begin on April 15th.

"Defendant’s motion is DENIED in its entirety as untimely. The Court declines to consider whether the doctrine of presidential immunity precludes the introduction of evidence of purported official presidential acts in a criminal proceeding," Merchan wrote.

Merchan has become Trump's favorite smear target in recent days despite a gag order, with the former president going so far as to attack the judge's innocent daughter.

A piece of advice: maybe don't insult a judge and his family when your future is in his hands.

Send this one around. When you see it being sent around by someone else...send it around...again.

Today, I learned that the court filing reflecting Trump’s bond in the civil fraud case was “returned for correction” and specifically, for the inclusion of a current financial statement and power of attorney. But all is not what it seems. 1/

@MaryLTrump Or a brothel, a good name for Donald Trump.
His grandfather was legally a pimp. And I know that Trump used to have a sexual escort service at Imran. And all those sex parties with underage girls and Epstein.

[OmegaSix @mrwaweru]

@MaryLTrump Totally ridiculous. Why would the city name anything after a criminal defendant with 91 charges? There’s no City Council in this country would vote for that. Period

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Check this out:

Congressman Gerry Connolly had the PERFECT response to Republican who submitted a bill to name Dulles airport after Donald.

He said:

“Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges. If Republicans want to name something after him, I’d suggest they find a federal prison.”

Sublime.

This bunny tail feels like I’m about to fuck some shit up today.. in the most bunniest of ways, of course.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

The fact that the Supreme Court is even considering Trump’s immunity case is horrific.

It should be clear to anyone who cares about democracy that no one is above the law.

But while a Supreme Court packed with Trump’s appointees won’t save us, there is something we can all do:

The presidential election is 250 days from today.

The hard work of keeping American democracy alive and thriving is up to the voting public.

We must redouble our mobilizing, volunteering, knocking on doors, registering, and helping others register in time to vote on November 5.

For those who oppose autocratic rule, complacency and apathy are the enemy. Democracy is not a spectator sport.

Anyone and everyone can make a difference.

Let the work begin.

As one of, if not the earliest and most consistently vocal of the Never Trump Generation 1 folks, I've taken a lot of shit over the years from my old GOP friends.

Trust me, there's a reason I'm not on the list for events the gentry types who still dream of recapturing the party from MAGA hold.

I will not soft pedal this. I will not tell myself or anyone else comfortable lies about the Republican party. I will not tell you there are secret words from a mystical focus group seance that will convert the Red Hat Trucknutz Cadre back to the Reagan GOP.

I have a long record of very accurately seeing ahead to what Republicans will *really* do viz Trump, as opposed to what people *dream* they'll do.

How many times have I gotten the call of "Oh, you can't attack X or Y...they're one of the good ones" only to see the "good one" bend the knee to Trump in hours or days? (Sue Collins, anyone?)

When did they stand and fight? When did they say, "I won't serve in a party that serves this monster."

Only a handful; Liz, Adam, David, Denver...and they're gone.

Not one Republican elected (correct me if I'm wrong) has come out today with both barrels blazing on Trump's latest Russia capitulation. In fact, per Marco's "What, me worry?" interview with Tapper today, they're doing the opposite.

It's not enough that they're compliant taint-sniffing Quislings. It's not enough that he's a rapist, a fraud, and slipping deeper into mental illness and sociopathy. It's they they're fine with it as long as they keep the sweaty, febrile MAGA masses happy and keep their jobs.

There are no good guys in office staying in the fight. The MAGA GOP is corrupt to the core, craven to its bones, and its utter abandonment of every shred of principle in Trump's service is a disqualifier for redemption.

Stop trying to put the paddles on the chest of this zombie party.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is dealt a huge defeat as the judge in his hush money trial expands the gag order to block him from attacking the judge's family or the family of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

The judge said that Trump's "pattern of attacking family members of presiding jurists and attorneys assigned to his cases serves no legitimate purpose. It merely injects fear in those assigned or called to participate in the proceedings, that not only they, but their family members as well, are 'fair game' for Defendant's vitriol."

"It is no longer just a mere possibility or a reasonable likelihood that there exists a threat to the integrity of the judicial proceedings. The threat is very real," he added.

This is a big win for Bragg, who requested the expansion of the order, and a humiliating setback for Trump who has been incessantly attacking Judge Juan Merchan and his innocent daughter.

The trial starts August 15th.

Justice is coming for Trump.

It's not self hate anymore, just regret that I can't atone for it

[Kathleen @sweatsntopknots]

Why don’t you just say some nice things to yourself about it?

[RobtR @2librul]

This is so true of me. I have so much guilt and regret where my ex wife is concerned. I wish I'd loved myself so I could have loved her better. "I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind. You know that was the last thing on my mind." It was 40+ years ago

[RobtR @2librul]

You would still be beautiful. The most beautiful gjrl in my HS class has red hair and freckles!

[RobtR @2librul]

Whatta babe!!
