neither have i...but as to how? you're apparently a much calmer individual than i am, i think i've already been fairly close to a stroke on a few occasions, and if i allowed myself to be convinced that trump was going to not only go to trial, but be convicted at that trial, and then to be shut down over technicalities, perjuries, even poor jury selection? pretty sure the vein that throbs in my forhead when i'm pissed would let go like...like this...
there should be some group that follows trump around suing the fuck out of him every time he opens his mouth and a lie comes out...which would be a very fucking busy group, indeed...Trump: Wisconsin Assembly Speaker 'Wrong,' Decertification Possible
Former President Donald Trump on Thursday urged Wisconsin Republican lawmakers to continue their pursuit of 2020 presidential election decertification.
Wisconsin GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on Wednesday said there had been widespread fraud in the 2020 election, but he didn't believe there was a constitutional avenue to decertifying the results.
"Speaker Robin Vos, of the Great State of Wisconsin, just said there was 'widespread fraud' in the 2020 Presidential Election, but that the State Legislature cannot do anything about it. Wrong!" Trump said in a statement released by his Save America joint fundraising committee. "If you rob the diamonds from a jewelry store, if you get caught, you have to give the diamonds back, votes should be no different.
"There is already a very powerful resolution in the Wisconsin State Assembly that calls for the decertification of the 2020 Election and reclaiming of Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes. There is so much fraud, as Vos knows, that this should be done quickly and easily."
Vos signed a new contract last week with Michael Gableman, the former state Supreme Court justice he hired to investigate the 2020 election, extending his review through the end of April.
The extension came after the original contract expired Dec. 31 and a week after Gableman delivered a report that called for the Wisconsin Legislature to take a serious look at decertifying President Joe Biden's victory in the swing state.
"The highly respected Special Counsel, Michael Gableman, has exposed so much already, including election bribery with Mark Zuckerberg's $8.8 million, horrific fraud stealing votes from the elderly in nursing homes, and rampant ballot harvesting and phantom votes," Trump said in his statement. "Far more votes than is needed for the Republican candidate, me, to win."
Trump again reminded people, via his statement, that the country, and perhaps the world, would be in a different place under his leadership.
"Our Country would not be in the mess it's in if Republicans had the courage to act," he said. "We would be energy independent, no inflation, the Ukraine desecration would not be happening, our economy would be strong, there would have been no surrender in Afghanistan, and so much else.
"Speaker Vos should do the right thing and correct the Crime of the Century—immediately! It is my opinion that other states will be doing this, Wisconsin should lead the way!"

Wisconsin GOP leader rejects election decertification call
Wisconsin’s Republican speaker of the Assembly again rejected calls to decertify President Joe Biden’s win in the battleground state after meeting privately Wednesday with advocates for making that move that attorneys across the political spectrum have said can’t be done.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who called the meeting, emerged to say he believed there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election but the focus should not be on relitigating that but instead on electing Republicans as governor and attorney general this fall.
“We don’t have the ability to unilaterally overturn the election,” Vos said of 2020, repeating his long-held position. “It can’t happen.”
Vos said the oath he took as an elected official and the constitution “doesn’t allow me to decertify any of the elections, whether I want to or not. That’s not going to happen.”
Decertification advocates, including Republican candidate for governor and current state Rep. Timothy Ramthun, had hoped to convince Vos to change his stance. They didn’t succeed.
Vos kicked Ramthun out of the meeting before it even began.
“More obstruction,” Ramthun said as he exited the room. “This is what I have been dealing with now for 17 months.”
Ramthun and Vos have butted heads over the election and its aftermath.
Vos and other Republican leaders have refused to take up Ramthun’s resolutions seeking to decertify the election. And in January, Vos removed Ramthun’s only full-time staff member as punishment after Vos said he falsely accused Vos of signing a deal with attorneys for former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton to authorize absentee ballot drop boxes.
Vos said the meeting was a chance for those who believe the 2020 election cannot be decertified to discuss it along with advocates for decertification. Nonpartisan attorneys who advise lawmakers were at the meeting. They have previously said it is illegal to decertify the election, as has the head of the conservative Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty.
Another meeting attendee, Jefferson Davis, presented evidence of what he said was widespread fraud. Statewide, 24 people have been charged with voter fraud, a miniscule percentage of the nearly 3.3 million people who cast ballots that is on par with past elections.
Vos has come under pressure from former President Donald Trump and other Republicans, including Ramthun, who support his false claims that the election was stolen and say Vos is not doing enough, including decertifying Biden’s win.
Vos, Senate Republican Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu and state GOP chairman Paul Farrow were scheduled to meet with county Republican chairs on Wednesday night to discuss election fraud and other issues.
Ramthun told reporters after he was kicked out of the meeting that it should have been open to the public. He also urged the filing of criminal charges against anyone who broke the law related to the 2020 election, including members of the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission.
Three county district attorneys have declined to file charges against commission members, citing a lack of evidence.
Ramthun has emerged as one of the most vocal election conspiracy theory advocates in Wisconsin, using it as the primary issue for his run for governor. MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, also a purveyor of false claims that Trump won the 2020 election, endorsed Ramthun.

can't we just take these fuckers out back and put a bullet in their heads? notice i didn't say brains, not sure i can hit a target that small with anything less than birdshot up close...and that makes too much messTrumps appeal NY attorney general request to sit for deposition
The Trumps argued that should James want them to testify, she should bring them before a state grand jury in which witnesses can receive certain immunities.
The appeal is part of the Trump family's attempt to fight a lower court's ruling last month that ordered the former president and his two eldest children, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr., to sit for a deposition amid James's probe into alleged fraudulent dealings by the Trump Organization.
James and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office are conducting a separate joint criminal probe into whether Trump lowered property values on his forms for tax agents but raised them to look better for financial lenders.
In the appeal Monday, attorneys for the Trumps wrote that statutory protections would be "eviscerated if the same agency involved in the criminal investigation simply opens up a 'civil' investigation into the very same matters," according to CNN.
Trump's lawyers late last month filed a notice that they were seeking a review from the state appellate court after Judge Arthur Engoron who ordered the former president and his two eldest children to sit for depositions with the attorney general's office.

Hunter should sue him for $24MTrump urges Putin to release dirt on Hunter Biden
Former President Trump called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to release dirt on President Biden’s son Hunter Biden during an interview published Tuesday.
“One thing, while I'm on your show, as long as Putin now is not exactly a fan of our country, let him explain, where did — because Chris Wallace wouldn't let me ask the question — why did the mayor of Moscow’s wife give the Bidens, both of them, $3.5 million dollars? That's a lot of money,” Trump told John Solomon and Amanda Head on the "Just the News" show on Real America’s Voice network.
Trump added that, "I would think Putin would know the answer to that. I think he should release it.”
Solomon, a former opinion writer at The Hill, faced scrutiny for his columns during Trump’s first impeachment relating to Ukraine. A review of his columns was subsequently undertaken by The Hill, and they were later annotated with more context after it was established that Solomon had not identified important details regarding his sources.
The former president in the new interview was referencing a controversial 2020 Senate GOP report on President Biden and Hunter Biden, which resulted in little proof of wrongdoing.
Trump has repeatedly alleged that Hunter Biden received money from the wife of Moscow's late mayor Yury Luzhkov.
Politico reported that the former president himself had in fact had pursued business deals with Luzhkov in the '90s.
Trump’s remarks are likely to divide Republicans who want to align themselves with Trump while remaining fiercely opposed to Putin amid an ongoing Russian invasion into Ukraine, now in its second month.
The development also comes as a tax crimes investigation into Hunter Biden, which started in 2018, moves onward, with The Wall Street Journal reporting this week that more evidence is being gathered by prosecutors.

I hope the commission’s unredacted (minus national security sensitive stuff) is published. It will be a handy reference of who was how much of a weasel.
I doubt it would reduce their re-election chances.
I do. Many R wins at state and national level were closely contested.
I watch news for kids, it's less traumatic. I can recommend Lester Holts Kid's Edition.
