Trump: "They had hundreds of countries, companies working on it and they were spending billions of dollars and when they turned it on it didn't work. That's why you had a helicopter crashing into an airplane. If we had a great system, bells and whistles would've started going off."

It was such a beautiful walk. The art was so unique, musicians playing Spanish guitars and even one with an accordion. The little amusement park was the cherry on top.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs!
Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesn’t actually help them. It’s gross, but it doesn’t really move the needle.

He can only pardon federal offenses. The original case was brought by the state. Due to past corruption, the GA governor cannot pardon. That is done by a board and only after conviction and service of the sentence. It’s still a viable case if prosecutors pursue it.

Apparently, Trump has written a letter saying he's going to sue
We'd better hold the line. Make this corrupt criminal PROVE his weeping and wailing in court! He's a weakling. A lame duck. He's also on his last legs.
Do not capitulate to a felon who likely won't even survive to see a day in court!
