It turns out it wasn’t just a bad day for Trump, as I captioned my column Thursday night. It was a bad week. A really bad week. After Sidney Powell’s guilty plea, there was Kenneth Chesebro’s plea. His was to a felony charge of filing false information, but like Powell, he spends no time in prison and will be eligible under Georgia’s first-time offender provision to have his record expunged after he completes his probationary sentence successfully.
It’s truly a joy to see the R’s implode, especially knowing that Trump got severely admonished by the Judge. It is a good reminder that even though Cheseboro and Powell are getting probation for their acts in GA., they still face the mighty Jack Smith in federal court. Trump will turn into a weeping willow when all of his co-defendants turn on him. I am here for it because it will be simply delicious.
So profound,Joyce. Thank you for answering so many questions as to ‘why’ the three guilty plea deals are fatal for Trump in Georgia.
At least for those of us who are ‘why’ people, so far as the implosion of the Republican party, we know exactly ‘why’ that has happened. It was surely a week. Prediction: republicans choose to go bipartisan or a McCarthy rerun as the last hope to avert a government shutdown. And the only reason the Republicans would think of working with the Democrats for a Jeffries speaker or to have a McCarthy rerun is that unless they do so, they will be toast through 2028. They are truly in a slovenly mess of their own making. And did they know who to thank.
You never disappoint, Joyce. as for me, I am loving every minute of him being accountable. Never would I have thought that I would wish upon another person as I do tfg. However, for all of our future for our (children, grandchildren) and every citizen who pay taxes and have supported our Democracy... we deserve Truth and Honesty from those that we have chosen to look after us... up until this guy, No other has done more damage (as bad as he has) and those who defend him over their own constituents. ENOUGH. I praise our Judges for showing that NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW(so tired of that statement, but it is truth) tfg continues doing it to himself, the Judges have given him more than I would have. Thanks, as always for being here for us all.🇺🇸🙏🏻🐓
It all feels like a fire hose. I heard on MSNBC today from a person living in the West Bank that Biden should have negotiated the Isrealis turning back on water, power and food pipelines from Isreal to Gaza. The Isrealis killing innocent children in Gaza by airstrikes and withholding human necessities is precisely what Hamas did. Exacting revenge on children in Gaza says what about the IDF? What I want someone in the media to explain is how much of what Netanyahu is doing in Gaza is to curry the favor of his allies in the West Bank so that they continue to protect him from being prosecuted for being corrupt? I was ashamed when Biden embrassed Netanyahu. I think that was a terrible strategic visual message to those who know Netanyahu for what he really is. I am Jewish and have for 40yrs been encouraged to go to Isreal. I will never. The ground is soaked w the blood of innocents.
What is infuriating is that extremists in congress and the senate who were participating in the actions of January 6th should be in the same position or dilemma as Powell and Chesebro. Had they been made accountable sooner we would not have the current situation in the House threatening domestic and international security. All have sworn allegiance to the constitution.
We are in the midst of a critical moment in our national history! A wartime crisis is enveloping the Middle East! Our essential support of The Democracy of The State of Israel is absolutely necessary! Joe Biden is leading the way ultimately to a peaceful solution so let’s voice our collective support for him! And not let us EVER forget the brutal and contemptible slaughter by Hamas of more than a thousand of innocent babies, young children, parents, and old people! Please make that solemn pledge to yourself!
I must take note of you, Joyce Vance, because you are one of the very best to burrow through the tunnel of corruption that runs through the US. Trump may seem to be leading the band, da capo, but
the tunnel goes back a long, long way. I am grateful to you, Joyce, for continuing to expose the layers
and the characters in the dark chamber.
During my reading of 'More Bad News for Trump' I copied a few of its highlights:
'Does Mark Meadows want to be sitting at the table with Donald Trump when the jury hears the evidence or would he prefer to be on the witness stand during the government’s case? I suppose that depends on how much of the rest of his life the 64-year-old Meadows, who gave up a safe seat in Congress to serve as Trump’s fourth chief of staff, wants to spend in Georgia.'
'Trump is always the victim when it suits him. Fani Willis will be ready.'
'Trump is on notice.'
'It’s impossible to close out the week without talking about House Republican’s failure to elect a Speaker. Increasingly it seems clear we are no longer a two-party country.'
'Trump’s allies are endangering national security. That’s an important point to focus on now, as we begin to discuss the upcoming elections. Who makes you feel safer? It’s not the folks who can’t even pick a leader in a moment of crisis.'
Ok, I gotta ask: Was I the only one who saw that picture of Clinton and Obama and just laughed out loud?? That picture exactly portrays I how feel. Especially with all the unnecessary partisan antics going on now. I mean, what are the republicans for, anyway?? It seems like they don't want to represent anyone, muchless other republicans. Kinda childish, really, and how are they continuing to get paid to do nothing??
This line struck me: "We are a three- or four-party country: Democrats on one side and the two or three different parties housed under the Republican umbrella."
It sure looks that way these days, but it's a complete reversal from the way things looked a few years ago, when the Democrats were the big, often contentious tent and the Republicans looked like an increasingly homogeneous party of aging white suburban and rural people. I'm thrilled that the Dems can come together in an emergency, which this surely is, and it sure looks like Hakeem Jeffries is a most worthy successor to Nancy Pelosi. I believe that diversity really is a source of strength, even though it is often contentious -- tumultuous even. It's been said that the Dems are a parliamentary system contained in one political party, in which coalitions have to be formed and re-formed to get things done. As long as they can come together when circumstances demand it, that works for me.
So, as Willis climbs the chain, at the end either the Defendant himself takes a plea deal to avoid a trial (which may be unlikely, I think), or all his sins get told on TV. I'm disappointed to miss the preview but that's the show we'll all want tickets to. And, thanks to Georgia's televised courtrooms, we'll all have them.
My new favorite mantra courtesy of Racheal Bitecofer:
“If the Republicans can’t govern themselves, they can’t govern you.”
So very true.
So vote blue!
Oh that picture. Why, why could we not have had Clinton as our President?

With the likes of Joyce Vance and Heater Cox Richardson...our country may survive Trump the tramp.

Not to forget, leaving you without 300 military leaders on purpose of compromising your armed forces, in case of the civil war they are aiming at.

“It turns out it wasn’t just a bad day for Trump, as I captioned my column Thursday night. It was a bad week. A really bad week”.
And may there be many more really bad weeks to come for Trump.
Dems stand ready to work, welfare queen Republicans stand ready to complain and foment chaos.
