Why would the Senate vote to fuck themselves?

Why was Trump talking about sharks at a campaign event? ( www.usatoday.com )

"It must be because of M.I.T., my relationship with M.I.T., very smart. I say, 'What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you're in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater, and there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there?" Trump said. "By the way, lot...

Nah. Reagan did a lot of damage while a president with dementia.

Fun fact, the secret service was around for almost 30 years before they started doing presidential security, and it took the assassination of McKinley before they were officially in charge of presidential security. They were founded as an anti-counterfeiting arm of the Treasury.

What Trump promised oil CEOs as he asked them to steer $1 billion to his campaign ( www.msn.com )

Trump’s response stunned several of the executives in the room overlooking the ocean: You all are wealthy enough, he said, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House. At the dinner, he vowed to immediately reverse dozens of President Biden’s environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being...

You all are wealthy enough, [Trump] said, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House. At the dinner, he vowed to immediately reverse dozens of President Biden’s environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being enacted, according to people with knowledge of the meeting...

Sounds specific.

The Bidens collected $129,876 in taxable interest, pensions and annuities, Social Security benefits, and IRA distributions − significantly more than in 2022, producing the spike in income. Jill Biden also reported $4,115 in royalties from prior book publications.

Here's a full breakdown:

Biden's presidential salary is $400,000. Jill Biden reported earning $85,985 from Northern Virginia Community College, where she teaches. The Bidens collected $129,876 in taxable interest, pensions and annuities, Social Security benefits, and IRA distributions − significantly more than in 2022, producing the spike in income. Jill Biden also reported $4,115 in royalties from prior book publications.

From USA Today

Biden does get a pension for his time as Vice President and senator and they both qualify for social security.

So, Fake Images of Trump With Black Voters Are a Thing Now ( slate.com )

Recently, Donald Trump fans in Florida and Michigan have been auto-generating and spreading around faked “pictures” of Trump surrounded by crowds of Black supporters—and earning significant traction for doing so. Coming at a time when President Joe Biden is worried about losing the Black voters who came out for his 2020...

Not if he wins the election. "Mr president we'd like you to hear us out on why our company's industry shouldn't have to pay taxes. Also, unrelated, we've bought $100 million in ad space on Truth Social. Back to that tax thing..."

Not taxes literally. I meant it more as an example. There's a reason Saudi Arabia spent way too much on Trump's DC hotel.

Executive Order 12958 was amended on March 25, 2003, by Executive Order 13292, to read as follows:

Sec. 4.1. General Restrictions on Access.

(a) A person may have access to classified information provided that:

(1) a favorable determination of eligibility for access has been made by an agency head or the agency head's designee;

(2) the person has signed an approved nondisclosure agreement; and

(3) the person has a need-to-know the information.

(c) Classified information shall remain under the control of the originating agency or its successor in function.

(d) Classified information may not be removed from official premises without proper authorization.

Seems pretty cut and dry to me, but I'm not a paid shill for Trump.

Brian Butler said he helped Trump aide Walt Nauta load about 10 to 15 boxes onto Trump's plane at the West Palm Beach airport near his resort in June 2022,

Even if President Trump authorized the movement to Mar-A-Lago, in June 2022 citizen Trump did not have the authorization to have classified documents moved. Now you could argue it was just Butler and Nauta moving these documents and not Trump himself, but that still doesn't mean Trump had need-to-know to keep these documents on site and that the documents now belong to their authorizing agency. Even if the executive branch was the authorizing agency, the Biden administration is the successor of function and owns these classified documents.

Fact check: Trump, telling a completely fictional story, falsely claims he released ‘the tape’ of his Zelensky call ( www.cnn.com )

Former President Donald Trump told an entirely fictional story on Saturday about how he had supposedly outwitted his Democratic opponents by releasing “the tape” of the 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that was a key factor in Trump’s first impeachment....

He did try to get a native casino in Connecticut closed in 1993. Part of his testimony to Congress was "You're saying only Indians can have the reservations, only Indians can have the gaming. So why aren't you approving it for everybody? Why are you being discriminatory? Why is it that the Indians don't pay tax, but everybody else does? I do."

Also in 2000 Trump paid over $1 million on a smear campaign managed by Roger Stone against the St. Regis Mohawks in protest of their opening of a casino in the Catskills.

So nothing while president, but still not a great track record when dealing with native Americans.

He's appealing, so he has to put the money plus extra in a court controlled account. The court will pay her if he loses the appeal.

Trump's super pissed he has to spend his campaign money on campaigning and not himself or his legal defense.

Trump furious as he fails to knock out Haley before South Carolina ( news.yahoo.com )

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Donald Trump didn't just want to win in New Hampshire, he wanted to beat Nikki Haley so badly that his sole rival for the Republican presidential nomination would drop out before the next competitive contest in South Carolina a month away....

Plus Trump's legal defense is propped up by campaign money. I wonder if she's betting on him giving up enough states to keep from going to prison.
