kpete's JournalTrump Tells Atlanta Judge Lies Help Get to the Truth
Donald Trump tried to convince a state judge to drop his Georgia election interference case on Thursday, summoning a tortured relationship between falsehoods and truths to make his case.
Trumps lawyers argued that lies arent just protected by the First Amendment; lies are sometimes essential, his lawyers said, at getting to the truth.
The mornings court hearing could prove a pivotal step as Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis works her criminal case against the former president to trial. Judge Scott McAfee, who recently delivered a blow to the DAs office by probing her romantic relationship with a prosecutor she supervised, is now considering whether Trumps persistent lies about 2020 election fraud are constitutionally protected under the First Amendment.
Thursday morning, Trump lead defense lawyer Steve Sadow asked the judge to drop criminal charges on those grounds.

If this can be corroborated, it raises questions about whether Carrie Budoff can be trusted to guide the network.
This suggests
@NBC
brass colluded with a partisan McDaniel aide to undermine their own talent on social media.
NBC exec Carrie Budoff Brown, who spearheaded the Ronna McDaniel hiring, contacted a former McDaniel aide on Sunday to try and rally support for her. She also, per @DylanByers, thanked the aide for fostering "conservative pushback on social media against" Chuck Todd 😬

Biden/Harris Statement on ALABAMA HD-10 Special Election Results
?w=1080&quality=89&ssl=1https://digbysblog.net/2024/03/27/not-being-there/
Here's Marilyn Lands' winning message in an Alabama swing district
Lands secured a whopping 63 percent of the votea 26-point leadby aggressively going against the grain, telling voters she supports a repeal of Alabamas abortion bans while sharing her own experience with abortion two decades ago, when she received a devastating diagnosis: a genetic defect called trisomy.
Twenty years ago I was able to get the care I needed. My three doctors told me this is the procedure I needed, that my life was at risk. I was able to go to my own hospital with my own doctor there, I didnt have to leave my community, Lands told The New Republics Greg Sargent. And to think weve gone 20 years backwards. I cant believe that. Ive seen, in my lifetime, women make great strides in many areas. And, Im just, Im outraged that 20 years later women do not have the same freedoms and protections that I had.

NBC's Latest Hire
?w=600&h=376From a juror in the 1986 trial where Trump wrecked the USFL
Tue 11 Sep 2018 05.00 EDT
He did not do the USFL well, recalled Patricia Sibilia, a juror. Donald Trump and I actually got into a staring match. I would watch the people on the stand, trying to read them. So he and I started looking at each other, and he tried to stare me down. It was an obvious try at intimidation. And whats funny, in hindsight, is that this so-called business genius ruined it for them. He was not believable in anything he said. He came off as arrogant and unlikeable.

This is the campaign I've been waiting for: "America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump."
Biden-Harris 2024 Spokesperson James Singer:
"Donald Trump is weak and desperate both as a man and a candidate for President.
"He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn't have.
"His campaign can't raise money, he is uninterested in campaigning outside his country club, and every time he opens his mouth, he pushes moderate and suburban voters away with his dangerous agenda.
"America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump."
