Lock Trump up now. He is thumbing his nose at both Judge Chutkan and her court's magistrate orders.*

It is time to put an end to this non stop Trump Shit Show. Enough!

In just 3 to 5 days with no spray on tanner, hair styling, lifts in his shoes, shoulder pads, adult diapers,
and having to follow the do what the correction officers tell him to do will be the end of him. Especially
if they get some pictures of "the real Donald Trump" leaving custody looking old, bald, pale, and stoop
shouldered and the world gets to see those images.

BTW if locking Trump up gets his mouth breathing base all worked up oh well fuck 'em because if they
want to stay loyal to a man with 4 indictments and > 100 felony charges including espionage, trying to
violently over throw our democracy, and selling out our country fine take that ride on the Trumptanic.

How Invasive Plants Fueled an Inferno in Maui

Research by Clay Trauernicht, a fire specialist at the University of Hawaii, and others has shown that the scale and frequency of wildfires have been increasing across in Hawaii from the early 1900s to the 2010s. The researchers also identified a major culprit: non-native plants.

“Wildfires were most frequent in developed areas, but most areas burned occurred in dry non-native grasslands and shrublands that currently compose 24 percent of Hawaii’s total land cover,” the researchers wrote. “These grass-dominated landscapes allow wildfires to propagate rapidly.”

The non-native grasses were brought to Hawaii by cattle ranchers in the 19th century, University of California Santa Barbara ecologist Carla D’Antonio told me. “They were selected because they were drought tolerant.”

The grasses are an especially potent fuel, D'Antonio explained, because they grow quickly when it rains and then stick around, deeply rooted into the soil, as dry, dead organic matter, becoming a “standing layer of very ignitable fuel.”

Please everybody out there no matter where you live when you plant plant a native. This is one of the most important
things you can do.

Ohio with about 30% of the vote in issue 1 is going down ..

... by something like 70 v 30%. The Republicans are the
dog who has caught the car. Even consistently red and suburban and red counties are voting pro women.

I am happy.

Is the "America's Manhood is under attack" a Russian produced or disseminated meme?

It seems to being pushed by the right wing.

Happy News! Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, "Native American history is American history."

Biden to establish national monument preserving ancestral tribal land around Grand Canyon.
And the GOP can stick their "woke nonsense" up their ass.

Joe Biden is the best President of my lifetime and he has hired the best people too. This is a gift to
the people of the world and it honors "The Peoples" that were already here when Europeans showed
up.

Judge Tanya Chutkan and Jack Smith's team aren't farting around .... as per Rachel Maddow

Trump's lawyers filed their paperwork with Judge Tanya Chutkan's court @ 5 PM today, team Jack gave the
court their answer to the court by a little bit before 6 PM, and Judge Tanya Chutkan has scheduled a hearing
on the requested protective order by no later then Friday this week. Judge Tanya Chutkan did this about 9 PM
tonight.

I hope I got that all right but Botany =

Prosecutors ask judge to issue protective order after Trump post appearing to promise revenge

Such protective orders are common in criminal cases, but prosecutors said it's "particularly important in this case" because Trump has posted on social media about "witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him."

Prosecutors pointed specifically to a post on Trump's Truth Social platform from earlier Friday in which Trump wrote, in all capital letters, "If you go after me, I'm coming after you!"

I hope this will be Donny's day tomorrow

Flies to D.C. from Miami or Bedminster N.J. @ 4 AM

1st thing in the AM say 6:30 or 7 AM Trump has to go in front of Judge Tanya S. Chutkan who tells
him about a "show cause order" for his violations of the court's pre-release order from last Thursday.
I hope the judge @ the very least puts a gag order on him and has an ankle monitor put on him.

Flies to Atlanta and then goes to Fulton County Court where he is booked, finger printed, and then
has his mug shot taken after which he gets to sit in custody before he has to go to court where he
is indicted and Fani Willis on multiple felonies including RICO charges.

***********
America needs to start the process of putting him into prison. He has 78 felony charges against him
with even more to come.

And if the GOP still wants to make him there nominee fine let 'em.

Am I wrong but does it not seem like the walls are closing

.... in on Trump? The Magistrate told Trump that he
couldn't interfere with the witnesses, the prosecution,
or the progression of the DoJ's case on Thursday @ 4 pm
and a little more than 24 hours later Trump did just that
and now by 5 pm on Monday he will have to answer for that. And Jack Smith is not fucking around either because when Trump's lawyers asked for a delay he and his team were ready for that dodge.

Next week Trump's lawyers will have to answer for his violating a court's order and then he will have to take "that
midnight train to Georgia" to catch a RICO charge.
