US Elections (& Politics) :)

 
That is a stretch. I understand what Vivek is stating, but I don't think that the president can pardon a state conviction. Only the governor of that state can.
It is a stretch, but so is the lawfare used against Trump.

The current POS in the whitehouse can pardon Trump and if he does, Trump may return the favour with a pardon. But if they send Trump to jail, then the gloves are off.

With all the made up legal theories they are using to charge Trumo. Those democrats governors better know that the same can be used against them.
 
ABC News Poll: Trump’s Favorability Slightly Increases After Guilty Verdict

Former President Donald Trump’s favorability rating slightly increased, but remained statistically unchanged from March 2024, after Democrat Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg successfully convicted Trump last week, an ABC News poll found Sunday.

The survey suggests Americans have not changed their feelings about Trump after the conviction that many legal commentators believe was secured by novel legal theory. Trump pledged to appeal the verdict Friday. Sentencing is scheduled for mid-July before the Republican Party’s convention.

Some comments;

1. ABC news so if they're conceding Trump's favorability improved “slightly”, it means it improved quite a bit.

2. So ABC’s grudging report must mean it’s really, really bad for Biden, then.

3. “slightly increased, but remained statistically unchanged”

Loosely translated, DJT’s favorability ratings shot through the roof . . .
 
I can't believe they actually allow this shit to air. Wow. Talk about low life bullshit. And 'its' a MSNBC presidential historian, not a official historian, which these days, WTF even knows what 'Official' means.

CNN's Elie Honig: 'Prosecutors Got Trump — But They Contorted the Law'

As many in the mockingbird media are celebrating the conviction of Donald Trump in the Manhattan trial, CNN's senior legal analyst has tossed cold water on their jubilation with a devastating analysis of how the prosecutors captured their political prey.

Honig's analysis appeared on Friday in New York Magazine which was reprinted from the CAFE Brief newsletter. The title alone expresses Honig's highly critical view of the prosecution: "Prosecutors Got Trump — But They Contorted the Law."

My comment: So how long will Honig last at CNN by telling the truth?
 
I don't mind how anyone feels about Marjorie Taylor Greene, one way or the other.
What cannot be disputed is, the lady speaks some very strong realities/truth, publicly.

WaPo CEO brutally tells employees: We're losing money because no one is reading your stories

Will Lewis, the Washington Post's publisher and CEO, told whiplashed staff on Monday the paper needs to do something radical to make the company profitable because readership has drastically declined.

The meeting was held after executive editor Sally Buzbee abruptly left the Washington Post after coming from the Associated Press in 2021.

“We need world-class journalism every single day, and the people that are coming in to help us do that will be a real benefit to the organization,” he said. He said he “really enjoyed working with Sally” and “wish[ed] it could have gone on for longer, but it couldn’t," according to Vanity Fair, based on people who were in the meeting.

The meeting became tense at times because some staffers felt Buzbee's departure was not handled correctly and they objected to a woman being replaced with another white man. The issue of diversity within the paper's leadership was brought up several times. Lewis said the lack of diversity is an issue but that the main problem is how the nation's capital newspaper is hemorrhaging money.

“We are losing large amounts of money. Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. I can’t sugarcoat it anymore,” Lewis said. “So I’ve had to take decisive, urgent action to set us on a different path, sourcing talent that I have worked with that are the best of the best.”

The Washington Post sent out a quick note on Sunday about Buzbee's departure in order to try to prevent getting scooped by the New York Times, one of the reasons employees felt Buzbee was disrespected. Politico noted the Times did beat the Post to the announcement anyway.

Despite the urgent news about the company's dire finances and dwindling audience, an employee who spoke to Vanity Fair was still hung up on the lack of diversity.

“I don’t think she deserved to go out this way,” the staffer said, noting that in conversations with their colleagues, people “don’t feel good about the fact that the first female executive editor of TheWashington Post got a one paragraph goodbye note at 8:30 p.m. on a Sunday, and that she’s being replaced by more white men we don’t know.”

The New York Post reports Lewis impressed upon people they needed to "get with the program."

Lewis cannot “expect to bring in new readers” when he’s “abolished all diversity from the leadership," a source similarly told the NY Post.

All the marks of a company destined for failure. Hmmm...something RADICAL might be to try being FACTUAL instead of putting out nothing but editorialized Left-wing perspectives/opinions... you know-- try THE TRUTH for a change.
