Less than 24 hours before his scheduled appearance, Donald Trump announced he would no longer be taking the stand at his tax fraud trial. Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade, MSNBC Political Analyst Juanita Tolliver and Politico reporter Eugene Daniels discuss with American Voices host Alicia Menendez Trump’s reversal and his increasingly extreme rhetoric on the campaign trail.

We’re coming up against what will turn out to be glaringly bright political spotlight.

Will the Supreme Court agree with itself?
State’s Rights, does it mean anything to Republicans?

“You cannot hold government office if you are an insurrectionist or you supported insurrectionists. It’s quite clear, quite simple—especially when you consider the amendment within the historical context of its ratification,” says Chris Hayes on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

Neil Gorsuch will be a center character in this American drama:

I could see the Supreme Court refusing to take the case and simply allowing the Colorado ruling to stand.
If they don’t, oh boy . . . . . . .

Oh what an Administration for the category of Political Optics.

Here’s a new piece of breaking news, and apparently there are a few other states that have secrets yet to come out into the sunshine.

The Detroit News reviewed an audio recording of a 2020 phone call in which former President Donald Trump allegedly pressured two GOP canvassers not to certify the 2020 election. CNN has not heard the recording but has resurfaced video of one of the canvassers in question addressing the phone call and denying it influenced her decision to recant her vote.

Talk about political optics:

It’s going to be the weirdest election season evaa.

Whats the optics of usa in a war with iran? Biden is allowing gaza to escalate into a regional war which will trigger a pathway to a world war. What a disater biden is to all.

Black is White even more than ever. Israel bombs good, Iran bombs bad

I see that Iran attacking military targets in Israel two weeks after Israel bombed their embassy in Damascus, in other words retaliating, is somehow “escalating tensions” and putting middle-east peace at risk whereas the embassy bombing, illegal under all kinds of international law and conventions, wasn’t mentioned in any of those terms.

This bias is surely glaring even to normies now and I can’t help but feel it’s becoming slightly self-defeating. Do they really expect people to swallow these complete inversions of reality after six months of genocide and lies?

Are you referring to something, someone said - or simply raging.

It is hideous and I fear it’ll continue getting worse, but what do you want me to do about it? Vote for trump? Send a donation to an aid society that will pocket most of the money before it gets to people who need it?

That’s such a great question. I read the article, it’s true that, in that article, Israel bombing the Iran embassy in Damascus is barely mentioned. However, it has been discussed widely for two weeks. Israel is not claiming responsibility for it. I know they are capable of doing such a thing, but I’m not there, it’s a war zone, bombs are going off all over. I don’t know. Even so, I’ll grant that Israel did the bombing. What is the action that I take here in Minnesota? Nations that are armed to the teeth and could blow us all up are using their weapons in stupid ways. That’s been going on since I was born. It was worse before. I protested Reagan’s nuclear build-up and the world has backed off somewhat on those, but nowhere near where I’d like it.

So, dadada, what are you doing? What should Biden do? What should anyone do? That’s not rhetorical, I don’t think it’s hopeless. Those are real questions. Pick one.

I take it as comment on how its being reported in our media. You dont get it? Why do liberials always use the trump card when talking about bidens wrong doings. ? The arab comedian in this clip speaks for me absolutely. At the 28 sec mark

I am always astounded at the insults and accusations thrown at President Biden, who has restored the US economy through infrastructure reconstruction, higher minimum wages, improved and reduced medical costs, and a modest increase in taxes for the richest people in the nation.

It is Congress who is opposing his assistance to help Ukraine resist the Russian invasion.

And what does Biden have to do with Hamas’ unconscionable attack on peaceful Israelis celebrating a multicultural event?

And you would have Biden refuse to help Israel defend itself. Do nothing while Hamas continues to kill innocent Israeli civilians?

I’m sorry Daniel, but you are pointing your finger at the wrong man.

And this lame and shameful comedian (above) comparing a democratically elected President who respects democratic principles and laws, with a charlatan who is standing trial for many criminal charges, several for the commission of sabotaging a legal and certified election. his guy is not

Biden did not start any of this and to accuse him of being somehow responsible for the wanton acts of a gang of terrorists is truly below any reasonable observation of reality.

May I remind you that Islam has been at war with itself in addition to all other religions and philosophies in the world. Tell a Muslim you are an atheist and he will kill you.

What is the punishment for being an atheist (apostate) in Islam?

Apostasy in Islam

Apostasy from Islam is considered a hudud crime. Death penalty is the traditional form of punishment for both male and female apostates for leaving Islam. Jaʿfari or Imāmī school – Male apostates must be executed, while female apostates must be held in solitary confinement until they repent and return to Islam.

When you are dealing with such mindsets, how can you possibly compare President Biden, a man of peace, who has lost a son in war, for being responsible for the war crimes that others like the war-criminal Putin and other terrorist organizations start?

Where are the voices condemning the Russian leadership and Palestinian elected Hamas and Iranian-supported Hezbollah atrocities?

The US is honoring its treaties with “friendly” nations. It’s mister Trump who wants to dismantle NATO and leave vulnerable smaller countries at the mercy of fanatical autocrats or theocrats.

Why are people coming to the US by the thousands, trying to escape the misery of poverty and centuries of internal and external wars for power (not governance) in their countries?

Where would you rather live? US, or Russia, or anywhere in the ME? I assume you are Spanish?

This is how the US sees Spain as an ally.

Importance of Spain

  1. Because of Spain’s strategic geographic location, Spanish cooperation is valuable for the defense of the NATO area and of the United States, for the following reasons:

a. > Spain offers additional and dispersed bases designed for the use of U.S. strategic air and naval forces which are important to U.S. deterrent and operational capabilities.
b. > Military forces based on Spain could influence military operations in all the Mediterranean, the Eastern sections of the North and Central Atlantic Ocean routes, Northwest Africa, and all of Western Europe.
c. > Spain can also provide depth in the defense of Western Europe against an attack by the USSR.

And you believe Biden is an enemy to humanity? Please think again!

Anyone can come here and make any joke or any lecture they want within the limits of the rules. That is the reason the forum exists. Each of you is expressing an opinion that is held by millions of other people. Shutting down one person who holds that opinion is not going to change anything.
