MTG gonna remove Johnson. She has two with her. Another speaker fight coming. Believe right now GOP only have +1, which makes it extremely hard to pick someone new.
Removal based on Johnson allowing a vote on Ukraine aid.

Noted today that Trump's poll numbers that some believed would skyrocket while he was on trial are in fact decreasing. Also since he needs to be in court now four days a week, he will be doing very little high dollar fundraising or campaigning for the next two months or more. It is said his campaign is in disarray on what to do while he is locked into this trial, and very concerned that it may go longer than the expected two months blocked off right now.

Trump will be testifying in the trial defense said, limits and bounds of the cross examination will be determined Monday.
Judge made it clear he will not keep repeating him and will not allow trials in trials. Also made it clear that outburst from Trump will result in contempt charges and Trump's removal from court, which if it happens, moves him to jail. Many do not believe Trump can sit silently over the period of several weeks while people trash him. Nor do they believe Trump can stay on task against a real cross-examination that will not be done with kids gloves on. Some think the DA will intentionally try to trigger a meltdown on the stand where Trump admits to doing things like he does in the press interviews outside of the court, so they are recorded under oath.

Why do people do this? Hardly the first instance, THIS YEAR (some military hard-r did to protest Palestine), let alone in our history. Like it's literally the oh no anyway meme.

Thinking it was misreported and this was a palestine protestor. Did not say anything just tossed fliers before he lit himself up. But did looked more like a younger liberal than a MAGA supporter.
Done as an extreme form of protest since everyone will cover it, moreso if there are video and pictures as when they do it in front of press.

Talking with my news junkie crew, seems the pamphlets were conspiracy shit for the NYC human candle. Sure one will get posted online sooner or later. I do not need to see the dude burn from six more angles so will let other people dig it out.

God I love CT suburban gangbangers. These kids been active though, they steal the cars, punt them cheap for people who then race them and ditch them in street takeover events.
Andy spicy in this one with his takes. He normally does not put too much personal spin on stuff.

Judge Merchan today showing Trump he will play by the rules of the court. Trump went to get up as the judge was wrapping things up and got told to sit back down. Trump is raging about being ordered around like a dog for being expected to follow courtroom rules.
He is not gonna make it to the end of the trial with a major incident.
Plan for Monday is the civil court will rule on whether or not his bond is legal.
Meanwhile in the criminal court, contempt motions open the day, along with limits of DA's questioning of Trump and cases they can discuss. Trump's filed motions will likely be sweepingly dismissed by appeals court and the judge to move, delay or dismiss the trial. Likely will get jury instructions not sure if they will do opening statements or not. Likely will start Weds instead as there are a ton of pre-trial nonsense to be sorted through this weekend.
Due to Trump attacking Cohen, witness list will be provided the day before to his team, with no further prep given. So no blueprint of what the DA's case timeframe will look like, but it is believed they will present a case over the course of a month or so, with multiple witnesses and evidence for each point they make for each charge. Trump defense looks pretty meek with the plan his legal team seems to be aiming for is to just cross hard, hope to discredit everyone then have Trump take the stand and beat back all charges himself with an impassioned testimony. So he is fucked basically.

Not really sure where else to put it, but checked out that new X/Twitter Streaming feature and it is really sleek. Only downside is no moderation ability on chat it appears, and serious barriers to monetization, but otherwise it is a rock solid streaming site right now. Better than tik tok, facebook, instagram or youtube for PC interface. Not as good as Twitch or Kick, but Twitch specializes in this and Kick is problematic as fuck.
The one thing Musk absolutely nailed on the site. Monetization he can easily fix, as well as, letting people moderate their space. Hope people use it, Twitch really need strong competition.

Musk despite his mouth... Which is always his biggest issue, is doing well with pretty much everything he's roles out at Twitter, except the moronic name change.

The tech side is good. His policy is shit though and all over the place. Also he straight out lies his ass off. He says publically he will not honor country or bloc-wide censorship stuff, then privately agrees to take down posts for various world governments and hand over user information. He also is getting aggressive with SLAPP suits. So far none went to trial and get dismissed early showing they lack actual merit.

Trump testifying is a terrible strategic move. At best he’s going to embarrass himself.

Trump's lawyers do what he says. Because he is testifying the DA can introduce all other lawsuits he has been involved in and everytime they lied about legal matters. Gonna be a bloodbath for him on the stand. First time Monday morning they should rule on the scope of what the DA can ask Trump, but they want him to testify far, far more than the defense does because if he does not testify, almost all of this would be inadmissible.
But Trump is convinced he can turn this entire hearing against Biden, and will not be told otherwise. Also he is not used to being in a position with such little power, so controlling his legal team is all he can really do.

First day of the trial proper in NY and Trump had to be woken up by his lawyer during opening arguments.
Contempt hearing will open tomorrow. Legal experts say the court will have to take some meaningful action as Trump is attacking Cohen on the court grounds, which is illegal in criminal trials and simply cannot be ignored.

GOP getting very concerned they cannot put the abortion genie back into the lamp. Between Alabama IVF ruling that embryos are living persons and Arizona's 1800's abortion law becoming rule of the land, advisors are warning of a possible political wipeout for the GOP in competitive races in places where abortion is not a solid right. They asked candidates to stop running on outlaw abortion entirely as well, but are seeing nothing but push back, and many instead calling for congress to promote a national total ban.
Like the trans issue in the US, the abortion issue almost always backfires on the GOP as they learn their voters do silently support these right the hard way and they lose races they are expected to win.
Couple with a leader with plummeting supporting just a week into his trial, not a good time to be the GOP. They all tied themselves so hard to the Trump ship that if it sinks, they all go down with it, all the while taking up extremely unpopular positions while drowning.

because I'm not really sure where to put this, and there's no news article, just a shower thought:
deepfake and AI is coming for us and we are not ready
consider that you can, with current tech, make a deepfake collab between like Dolly Parton and the Weeknd doing Linkin Park cover songs and it'll sound pretty freakin' real. AI visuals aren't quite there yet buuuutttt...
very very soon, if not this election cycle then certainly within the next three, we will start seeing tweets by Firstname Bunchofnumbers with SHOCKING VIDEO about YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS PERSON WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA SAYING! probably from both sides
even if 99% of them are fake, then it means 1% of them are legit. is this one of that 1%? i dunno and neither do you but it won't stop it from being shared and reposted endessly, and with I don't trust your news outlets to vet this and you don't trust my news outlets to vet this how are we even to begin to agree on common facts to discuss -- well, anything?

People really believe it will alter the 2024 election. Audio will be a major, major problem too as text to speech for some voices is dead on right now. So merely show an static imagine and audio and people without media literacy will not question it at all. Video presented in a little screen, like on a news show, can hide the faults as well and appear real.
Expected Russia will flood the US with AI stuff in oct to try to alter the election. Reason they are holding back now is so people do not have a chance to smarten up beforehand. China expected to as well, but they may go after Trump due to his tariff plans. Russia is all in though on rigging the election for Trump, so we cut off support for the Ukraine, and Trump can push to air Russia as a matter of national defense.
Try to bring it up now and people claim no one will fall for this, but many still believe that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 election despite people going to jail for it. Media literacy is not strong for most people.
