And thinking it's clever to say "Democrat party" or that "Let's Go Brandon" is the height of hilarity.

And thinking it's clever to say "Democrat party" or that "Let's Go Brandon" is the height of hilarity. MAGA GOPers are lacking in intelligence, hence their lack of a sense of humor. They are suckers and morons. Humor is a sophisticated cognitive process that involves a multitude of mental skills. To 'get' a joke, one needs to recognize the context, understand the multiple meanings of words, identify incongruities, and use abstract thinking to find amusement in the punchline. Therefore, perceiving and appreciating humor is an indicator of cognitive flexibility, creativity, and linguistic intelligence. www.miragenews.com/mirth-and-mind-why-humor-hinges-on-high-1010349/Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny peers. They argue that it takes both cognitive and emotional ability to process and produce humour. Their analysis shows that funny people have higher verbal and non-verbal intelligence, and they score lower in mood disturbance and aggressiveness. www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/10/funny-people-are-also-more-intelligent-according-to-new-research/Highly educated adults – particularly those who have attended graduate school – are far more likely than those with less education to take predominantly liberal positions across a range of political values. And these differences have increased over the past two decades. More than half of those with postgraduate experience (54%) have either consistently liberal political values (31%) or mostly liberal values (23%), based on an analysis of their opinions about the role and performance of government, social issues, the environment and other topics. Fewer than half as many postgrads – roughly 12% of the public in 2015– have either consistently conservative (10%) or mostly conservative (14%) values. About one-in-five (22%) express a mix of liberal and conservative opinions. www.pewresearch.org/politics/2016/04/26/a-wider-ideological-gap-between-more-and-less-educated-adults/

Nothing new here, but I simply cannot fathom the idea of allowing a criminal-defendant client to do news interviews during a trial.

I have my suspicions Trump couldn’t pass a basic civics test.

Just so we are clear on how ridiculous this all is: a president would be able to commit any crime he or she wishes, find out who would vote to impeach or convict them and have those congresspeople assassinated, and would be able to get off freely for all crimes, including the subsequent assassinations, because he or she wasn’t impeached and convicted. The fact that the Supreme Court is even entertaining this is proof of some justices being deeply compromised.

Rapist, fraudster, defamer and now convicted of criminal contempt, a contemnor. Judge has also raised the possibility of jail if the POS continues his contumacious behavior in violation of the gag order. Judge Merchan also called the Grifter's bluff by granting him permission to attend his son's high school graduation. Now the POS is forced to go or bear the bad PR if he doesn't and we all know that he's barely involved in raising his son. Ha ha ha 😂 IOW, the perfect POS to be the "Republican" nominee for President. You MAGA GOPers must be very proud! Trump found in contempt for violating gag order in hush money trial www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/30/trump-hush-money-trial-live-updates/

Grifters United. Disgraceful Hoya Eric Trump.
Seated near Eric Trump in the courtroom are a couple of Donald Trump’s allies, including adviser Susan Wiles and a supporter, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who had his own highly publicized legal problems. He reached a deal last month to have felony securities fraud charges dismissed and is still in office after surviving an impeachment trial last year.

The underbelly of Grifter corruption. Because of the firehouse of legal problems associated with the Grifter, legal matters like this tend to fly under the radar screen. A law firm that has long defended Donald J. Trump’s campaign and businesses from employment lawsuits has abruptly asked to withdraw from a yearslong case over what it calls an “irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship.” The firm — LaRocca, Hornik, Greenberg, Rosen, Kittridge, Carlin and McPartland — has represented Mr. Trump’s political operation in numerous suits dating to his first presidential run, helping secure several settlements and dismissals and billing nearly $3 million in the process. www.nytimes.com/2024/04/30/us/politics/trump-lawyers-delgado.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ok0.FwdO.hrwlCHvbJxTO&smid=em-share

As an FYI, "irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship" is often lawyer-firm for "client stopped paying our bills," which is entirely in character with what we know about Trump.

Dementia Don or Donmentia Trump would be just as appropriate
