FLASHBACK
1993-In congressional testimony, Donald Trump said that Native casino owners didn't deserve special status because “they don’t look like Indians to me.”
Reminding all, in light of the CNN Brian Butler interview, that Trump appointee Judge Cannon—confirmed by a lame-duck GOP Senate—is slow walking this open-and-shut, serious case to delay it past Election Day.
WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE?
This is real, existing Orbanism in the U.S.
BREAKING: Fox News shocks its viewers as right-wing host Steve Doocy rips into MAGA House Majority Whip Tom Emmer live on-air over the Republican scheme to torpedo the bipartisan border bill.
This is not what conservatives expected to see when they turned on their TVs...
Republican lawmakers have been lining up to attack the new border legislation because Donald Trump has commanded them to. Trump wants to run on immigration and if Biden signs a border bill, Trump loses his signature campaign issue.
The truth, of course, is that Trump doesn't actually care about the border. He only cares about regaining power.
Doocy had Emmer on his show and called out the blatant hypocrisy.
"I know a lot of Republicans are against it because Donald Trump is against it," said Doocy. "But here's the problem for you guys the Border Patrol union came out and the acting CBP chief both came out and said that it's not perfect, but this is the best thing we've seen in decades."
"So are Republicans gonna say that the Border Patrol union and the acting CBP chief are wrong?" asked Doocy.
"Well look, they can have their perspective, Steve and we've got a lot—" said Emmer.
"It's their jobs, Tom!" interjected Doocy.
"Well and it's our job to, uh, actually make sure the laws will accomplish what we're seeking to do," said Emmer.
The truth is that the bill does accomplish what Republicans claim to want to accomplish. Biden and the Democrats have negotiated for months and compromised on numerous points.
Under normal circumstances, Republicans would be praising this bill. But since Trump doesn't want it passed for selfish reasons, Republicans are pretending to hate the bill.
This attempt to hurt the country to get Trump back into office is utterly transparent and American voters will see right through it come election day.

BREAKING: Donald Trump unleashes a deeply unhinged response to a federal court's ruling that he does NOT have presidential immunity from prosecution for his role in the January 6th insurrection.
You can feel the panic in every word he typed. This man is absolutely terrified of going to prison...
Taking to Truth Social for his rant, Trump insisted that a president "must have Full Immunity" so that he can "properly function" and "do what has to be done for the good of the Country."
Of course, attempting to overthrow our democracy because you lost an election is the furthest thing from working towards the "good of the country."
Trump called the court's ruling "Nation-destroying," which is ironically exactly what he tried to do on January 6th when he whipped his MAGA fanatics into a lather and unleashed them on the Capitol.
He went on to claim that the ruling "cannot be allowed to stand" and that it must be "overturned" because it will "terribly injury" the presidency as well as the "Life, Breath, and Success of our Country."
"A President will be afraid to act for fear of the opposite Party’s Vicious Retribution after leaving Office," wrote Trump.
"I know from personal experience because I am going through it right now," he went on. "It will become a Political Weapon used for Election Interference. Even our Elections will be corrupted and under siege. So bad, and so dangerous for our Nation. SAVE PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY!"
It's worth pointing out that a president should be afraid of breaking the law by attempting a violent coup. The idea that a president can do whatever he likes, break the law at whim, and then simply slither off scot-free is just about the most unAmerican idea imaginable.

BREAKING: Special Counsel Jack Smith drops an absolute bombshell as the Justice Department files a court document that indicates they have discovered Donald Trump's hidden motives for smuggling the classified documents to Mar-a-Lago.
This is HUGE and a worst case scenario for Trump...
In order to neatly land a conviction, it's imperative that prosecutors not only prove that Donald Trump broke the law — which he clearly did — but that they offer a coherent and compelling explanation for why he did it.
The new filing indicates that they are now capable of doing that.
"That the classified materials at issue in this case were taken from the White House and retained at Mar-a-Lago is not in dispute; what is in dispute is how that occurred, why it occurred, what Trump knew, and what Trump intended in retaining them — all issues that the Government will prove at trial primarily with unclassified evidence," reads the government motion filed in court today.
In other words, prosecutors now have an explanation for why Trump stole and hid the documents and are ready to unveil that explanation in court. It will not be revealed ahead of time, of course, because doing so could weaken their strategy.
Washington Post writer Aaron Blake draw attention to the court filing—
"Indeed, establishing a motive would seem to drive home the intention of Trump’s actions and combat any arguments that this was all a misunderstanding — or that Trump somehow didn’t know what he had (which the government has taken care to undermine)," wrote Blake.
"In that case, Smith need not necessarily prove that Trump knew that his claims of massive voter fraud were false to demonstrate that Trump broke the law in trying to overturn the election. But it, too, would be helpful, and Smith’s office has made it abundantly clear that it intends to prove it, devoting 20 out of 45 pages from the indictment to that point," he added.
Donald Trump should be sweating bullets right now. The end is near and Jack Smith is coming fully loaded for this trial.
