Christie: Supreme Court’s Presidential Immunity Ruling Could Shield Judge

0

On Sunday, former Governor Chris Christie appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and argued that Judge Hannah Dugan – who was charged with obstruction and concealment – could be protected by the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling.

ABC host Martha Raddatz began, “Let’s talk about Wisconsin and what happened in that courtroom. You’re a former prosecutor, would you have brought charges against that judge?”

Christie replied, “Well, I’ll tell you, Martha, this is one of those situations where everybody, I think, is acting badly. So, first off, you know, I don’t know what this judge was thinking in terms of trying to help a criminal defendant try to avoid an arrest warrant from federal authorities, and, you know, it’s not a typical judicial action in my experience, not something a judge would normally do.”

He argued, “On the other side, when you really read through this, I don’t know that the complaint, the indictment that was filed, is completely consistent with the affidavit that was filed because, you know, this guy did wind up in a public courtroom near public elevators after he left the courtroom and was seen by one of the agents who was there to assist in the apprehension. So whether or not the way they’re characterizing these facts are completely accurate is something we’re going to have to see when we get to a trial in this case.”

Former Department of Juctice spokesperson Sarah Isgur chimed in, “They have a problem because she is a judge. Now no court has found that judges are immune from criminal prosecution, but that Trump immunity decision that we talked about last year could be very relevant here whether they can even bring criminal charges against a judge who was in her own courtroom potentially doing something that could be seen as a, quote, judicial act.”

Christie added, “The Trump immunity decision for this administration may giveth and taketh away here because, you know, giving that kind of broad immunity to the president, you can be sure that the judge’s lawyers will be arguing a judge is entitled to similar immunity.”

Schumer Signals Impeachment Push, Claims Trump ‘Violating Rule of Law’

On Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Schumer appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” and refused to rule out impeaching President Donald Trump if Democrats take control of Congress.

CNN host Dana Bash asked, “Your colleague from Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff told voters at a town hall that he strongly agrees that President Trump should be impeached. Do you agree with him? Would that be a priority if Democrats were to take back Congress?”

Schumer replied, “Well, look, right now, President Trump is violating rule of law in every way and we’re fighting him every single day in every way. And our goal is to show the American people over and over again, whether it’s the economy, whether it’s tariffs, whether it’s Russia and overseas and whether it’s rule of law, how bad he is. And you know, it’s two years it’s too far away to predict. Our job is day to day to day to show who Trump is, what he is doing, and it’s having an effect as your polls show.”

Bash pressed, “You’re not ruling out.”

Schumer continued, “The American people are realizing – ”

Bash chimed in, “You’re not saying no.”

Schumer answered, “Look, it’s too far away to even, it’s too far away to even judge.”

Trump Expects Tariffs to Provide Income Tax Relief, Total Elimination

On Sunday, President Donald Trump declared that his tariff policy is expected to substantially reduce, and even totally eliminate, income taxes for many American workers.

“When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated,” he announced in a Truth Social post. “Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year.”

Trump added, “Also, massive numbers of jobs are already being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned. It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!! THE EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IS HAPPENING!!!

If he is able to pull this off, that would make a MASSIVE difference in American households. Many citizens would have more wiggle room, as they bring home more of their hard earned money, and could get to a point where they are no longer living paycheck to paycheck.

Can you imagine taking home 15-20% more money than you currently do, per paycheck? Granted it is different for everyone depending on tax bracket. However, many average Americans fall into that general range.

Trump Revives Columbus Day Celebration in Defiant Tribute to History

On Sunday, President Donald Trump made it known that he would NOT be following in the woke footsteps of his predecessor by recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day alongside Columbus Day, in October.

Former Democrat President Joe Biden was the first president to mark Indigenous Peoples Day, in an attempt to choke out Columbus Day and silence our history. He issued a proclamation in 2021 stating that  “the invaluable contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples” and recognize “their inherent sovereignty.”

Biden added that America “was conceived on a promise of equality and opportunity for all people” but that promise “we have never fully lived up to. That is especially true when it comes to upholding the rights and dignity of the Indigenous people who were here long before colonization of the Americas began.”

On Sunday, Trump announced on Truth Social, “I’m bringing Columbus Day back from the ashes. The Democrats did everything possible to destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation, and all of the Italians that love him so much. They tore down his Statues, and put up nothing but “WOKE,” or even worse, nothing at all!”

The president added, “Well, you’ll be happy to know, Christopher is going to make a major comeback. I am hereby reinstating Columbus Day under the same rules, dates, and locations, as it has had for all of the many decades before!”

And just like that, we are back!

Rep. Raskin Slams Trump Admin with Kidnapping Accusations

On Friday, Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin appeared on  MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” and accused Trump administration officials of “interfering with a legal proceeding” and “kidnapping.”

Raskin declared, “I regard it very much within the prism of what we’ve been dealing with over the last month, which is an intense assault on judicial independence. They have been disobeying federal court orders systematically. They have incurred criminal contempt findings in the courtroom of Judge Boasberg, a conservative Republican, a judge. They have been demanding the impeachment of judges who rule against the lawlessness of the Trump administration. There are now more than 90 preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders against the chaos that’s been unleashed on the country by the Trump administration.”

He continued, “Now they’re arresting judges, and the first felony criminal charge brought against Judge Hannah Dugan in Wisconsin is interfering with a legal proceeding, which is essentially what they’ve been doing all along. What Judge Boasberg is about to hold them in criminal contempt for and has found that there is probable cause for criminal contempt is that they deliberately ignored and defied his order not to take off in those airplanes headed for El Salvador and not turning the airplanes around.”

Raskin added, “So on the logic of this arrest of Judge Dugan, all of the people in the Trump Administration who participated in defying that order by Judge Boasberg themselves could be arrested for interfering with a legal proceeding and perhaps other criminal charges like kidnapping.”

BREAKING: WH Memo Sparks Election Fraud Firestorm Targeting ActBlue!

0

On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive memorandum to investigate ActBlue, which is the leading Democratic fundraising platform.

According to the memo, Attorney General Pam Bondi has been authorized to “investigate allegations regarding the unlawful use of online fundraising platforms to make ‘straw’ or ‘dummy’ contributions or foreign contributions to political candidates and committees, and to take appropriate action to enforce the law.”

It also specifically called out ActBlue as an online fundraising platform used by Democrats “to improperly influence American elections.”

A White House document attached to the memorandum also alleges that ActBlue has accepted donations in which the donors have evaded federal limitations by breaking contributions into smaller donations and attributing them to multiple people.

An ActBlue spokesperson lashed out, calling Trump’s move a “brazen attack on democracy in America.”

“Today’s escalation by the White House is blatantly unlawful and needs to be seen for what it is: Donald Trump’s latest front in his campaign to stamp out all political, electoral and ideological opposition. This Administration continues to weaponize the instruments of federal power in an unprecedented assault on our democracy,” the spokesperson said, noting that ActBlue will challenge the directive in court.

NBC News reports:

ActBlue is the primary fundraising tool for Democratic candidates and, in many cases, the default donation option on Democratic campaign websites. It is widely considered one of the pillars of the party’s digital ecosystem.

The platform works as a conduit, facilitating individual donations for campaigns and nonprofit groups and taking a 3.95% processing fee on most donations.

Early this month, the heads of three Republican-led House committees released a report detailing what they characterized as “illegal activity” on ActBlue and accused it of failing to take action against alleged fraud.

“ActBlue’s internal turmoil, lack of a functioning legal team, possible retaliatory actions, and failure to take fraud seriously raise new questions about the platform’s ability to deter fraud and comply with federal election law,” the three GOP lawmakers said in a joint statement accompanying their report.

The memo notes that there is evidence that ActBlue has allowed  “significant fraud campaigns” on its platform.

Oops, They Said It — Dem Rep. Admits What They’re Not Supposed to

Once again, Democrats have shown that they care more about the people illegally occupying our country than the actual American citizens. How truly sad is that?

On Thursday, Democrat Rep. Adam Smith appeared on NewsNation’s “Cuomo” and admitted the quiet part out loud – revealing that Congress has been held up from passing legislation for a stronger border security because “a number of us believe that there are a lot of people in this country, undocumented who should be allowed to stay. They have been a vital part of our economy. They are vital parts of our community. They are husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, working, paying taxes. We have depended upon their labor for decades, and to rip those families apart and send them back to countries that, in many cases, they don’t even know, we believe, would be wrong. So, Democrats want pathway to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants, and then a lot of us are wide open to talking about toughening the asylum laws and getting to greater security.”

He then went into a spiel about due process for deportations and alluded back to the lie about the Trump administration deporting so-called law abiding, Maryland father Abrego Garcia. In reality, Garcia is an illegal immigrants known for being a wife-beater and MS-13 gangbanger.

Schumer said, “[W]e did a poor job of securing the border, particularly on the asylum laws. I don’t necessarily agree with everything that Mr. Homan said there, but certainly, the asylum laws were wide open, and people took advantage of that. And President Biden didn’t do enough to secure the border. On the larger question of what Congress wants to do, the problem is we can’t get a compromise, tough on the border, but also, we’ve got Donald Trump blocking refugees, taking away Temporary Protect[ed] Status, and also a number of us believe that there are a lot of people in this country, undocumented who should be allowed to stay. They have been a vital part of our economy. They are vital parts of our community. They are husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, working, paying taxes.”

He added, “We have depended upon their labor for decades, and to rip those families apart and send them back to countries that, in many cases, they don’t even know, we believe, would be wrong. So, Democrats want pathway to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants, and then a lot of us are wide open to talking about toughening the asylum laws and getting to greater security. But that inability to compromise on that issue is the biggest thing that has blocked Congress acting.”

Showdown Brewing — Schumer Threatens ‘Extraordinary Action’ if Trump Snubs Supreme Court

0

On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appeared on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports” and threatened “extraordinary action” if President Donald Trump disobeys a Supreme Court order.

Host Chris Jansing asked, “The Supreme Court said the administration must facilitate the return of Kilmer Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. That has not happened. Are we at the point, Senator, where you feel extraordinary action is warranted?”

Schumer replied, “Look, the case will be back to the Supreme Court, they sent it down to the lower court judge. But if the president disobeys a Supreme Court order, extraordinary action will be necessary. We’ve never had that in the Republic before, in the kind of way that the president is doing it.”

He continued, “He doesn’t believe in democracy. He doesn’t believe there should be diversity of opinion. He doesn’t believe in due process. You can’t pick up someone off the streets and send them somewhere if you don’t have evidence, if you haven’t presented evidence against them, the country, the democracy is at risk.”

Schumer added, “If the Supreme Court makes a final decision and Trump decides to disobey it, and it will be on all of us, not just the political leaders, but certainly us, but on all Americans to resist that. I think that would happen.”

Democracy in the Crosshairs? Sen. Murphy Panics Over GOP Agenda

On Thursday, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy appeared on MSNBC’s “All In” and sounded the most pitiful alarm I’ve ever heard – claiming that they are in a “national fight” against the GOP’s so-called “destruction of democracy.”

Are we even reading the same book?

Murphy declared, “This is a national fight and Republicans think that they can get away with this thievery, this corruption, this destruction of democracy by hiding. We have some really important votes coming before the Senate and the House this summer. Republicans are planning to vote on this bill that would throw millions of people off their health care, including lots of them here in North Carolina in order to fund a tax cut for the billionaire class. People who don’t need it.”

He continued, “Republicans are kind of hoping that in their backyard, their constituents won’t hear about the truth because they’re refusing to hold town halls. So Maxwell and I are committed this spring and this summer to be all over the country and hold town halls where Republicans won’t. We only need to convince 3 or 4 Republicans in the House and the Senate to vote no against these cuts to save a lot of lives.”

The senator added, “We are here in North Carolina because there are a couple of swing votes here in the Senate and in the House that might save a whole bunch of lives if they do the right thing when this bill to cut medicaid and fund tax cuts for billionaires comes before the House and the Senate.”
