Liz Cheney says her "only regret is supporting Donald Trump."

The future of the country’s democracy hinges on Trump’s defeat in November, cautioned the Wyoming Republican.

“We know (Trump) tried once not to leave office, and he will have no incentive to guarantee a peaceful transfer of power and to leave office should be selected again,” Cheney said. “As frustrated as I know people get sometimes with policy disagreements you might have — and I certainly have policy disagreements with the Biden administration — I know the nation can survive bad policy. We can’t survive a president who is willing to torch the Constitution.”

Donald Trump drew an angry response from the Joe Biden White House as well as other opponents after he posted a video containing the image of the president hog-tied on the tailgate of a passing pickup truck. The Biden campaign communications director, Michael Tyler, said the provocative image of the truck festooned with Trump 2024 insignia on Friday night could be construed as suggesting physical harm toward the former president’s political rival.

“Trump is regularly inciting political violence and it’s time people take him seriously – just ask the Capitol police officers who were attacked protecting our democracy on January 6,” Tyler said, referring to the day in early 2021 when the ex-president’s supporters attacked Congress.

In this interview Donald Trump was asked if he would rule out violence if he was elected; He responded ‘If the elections were unfair NO’ he would not. Last time he thought they were unfair he incited violence and let us take his word for it. He would do it again.

Steve, do you mean the eclipse influenced the folly? But protests are all around the world, even without an eclipse. And outcomes are various. Peaceful protesters are not always so peaceful and sometimes they step beyond what they are supposed to do, like they occupy university rooms or areas, or prevent speakers from speaking. On the other side, policemen sometimes step over their legal duty. It's an invisible border, with lots of grey areas in there.
I agree though that the eclipse might have exacerbated the moods.

Perhaps you are also referring to the unlawful occupation (sound familiar?) of the capital building by the MAGA regime. This is the long term affects of having violence as an example promoted by Donald Trump and his followers. How can we have a violent free society when the President himself says that if he thought elections are unfair he would not rule out violence? Last election the MAGA group and other people with Donald  Trump felt they were unfair. But most people here believe he was unfair.

With this kind of dynamic going on: Yes certainly I believe the eclipse here April 8, 2024 is indicative of the turmoil ahead for the United States. And since the eclipse path was through Mexico 🇲🇽 as well, we should look to events unfolding there as well. Personally, I had the most devotional meditation of the year to this date, during the eclipse. So also I believe that the eclipse has a strong potential for quantum transformation and insight as well.

The Republican presidential candidate's comments came on the heels of an interview this week with Time magazine in which Trump did not rule out the possibility of political violence around the election, saying “it depends on the fairness” of the process.
In the Journal Sentinel interview, Trump reiterated his baseless claim that he won Wisconsin -- a Midwestern state he lost to Biden, a Democrat, by about 21,000 votes in 2020 -- and that the election was tainted by fraud. Trump's campaign unsuccessfully sought to disqualify almost 240,000 ballots cast for Biden.

Donald Trump’s hush money trial is set to resume Monday in Manhattan Criminal Court, where the prosecution will continue presenting its historic case against the former president.

Ahead of testimonies, Judge Juan Merchan informed Trump that he has found him in contempt of court for a 10th time for violating the gag order.

"The last thing that I want to do is to put you in jail," Merchan said.

“Trump’s dehumanizing rhetoric and blatant attacks against immigrant communities will, without question, only fuel more hate against not only Chinese immigrants but all Asian Americans in the U.S.," Cynthia Choi, co-founder of Stop AAPI Hate and co-executive director of Chinese for Affirmative Action, said in a statement to The Associated Press. “In the midst of an already inflamed political climate and election year, we know all too well how harmful such rhetoric can be.”

Donald Trump became the first former president ever convicted of a crime, with a Manhattan jury finding him guilty Thursday of 34 felonies for falsifying records to cover up hush money paid to a porn star.

In a verdict that shook the 2024 presidential campaign, former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts in his New York criminal hush money trial. He was convicted of falsifying business records to hide a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Trump is the first former U.S. president convicted of a crime.


Trump faces three other prosecutions—two over his alleged efforts to overturn President Biden’s 2020 election victory and one alleging he illegally retained classified documents after leaving the White House—though none may go to trial before Election Day. The hush-money case was considered by many observers to be the least serious of the four.

Prosecutors charged Trump with falsifying business records. They alleged Trump falsified the records to conceal unlawfully interfering in the 2016 presidential election through the $130,000 hush money payment, making the falsification charges felonies. The crime carries a penalty of up to four years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for July 11, but legal experts previously told USA TODAY the presumptive Republican nominee is likely to get only probation or a shorter sentence.

Gag order should remain strongly in place. Would I be able to talk rudely to policemen when on probation?Definitely not. Does wealth allow people to say what ever they feel like and cause others to be in danger?

Julian Assange is finally free – but what does his case mean for the media?

in-chief   Katharine Viner, editor-in-chief
 
On Wednesday, Julian Assange walked free. After 12 years of confinement, the WikiLeaks founder accepted a deal to plead guilty to one count of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified US national defence information.

Reporters from our Guardian Australia team and foreign affairs correspondent Helen Davidson were at the centre of a whirlwind 24 hours during which Assange was released from jail, appeared at a courthouse in the remote US outpost of Saipan and returned to Australia a free man. Helen’s dispatch from the courtroom captured the emotional intensity of the moment when Assange’s 14-year legal saga came to an abrupt end.

As our editorial made clear, Assange should never have been charged with espionage. And while it is clearly good news that he has been released, the charge for which he pleaded guilty is alarming for those invested in the cause of press freedom.

The WikiLeaks trove, published in collaboration with news outlets including the Guardian, revealed appalling abuses by the US and other governments: abuses that would not otherwise have been exposed, and for which no one has been held liable. The act under which Assange was charged allows no defence in the public interest. This theoretically means that future US administrations – including a potential Donald Trump White House – could use the result of the Assange case as encouragement to pursue the press.

The years since Assange first entered the Ecuadorian embassy in London have not been good for press freedom. Journalists are in physical and legal peril across the world. This week, we published several other stories about threats to the press. They included an investigation, in collaboration with other media groups and Forbidden Stories, into the deaths of more than 100 journalists in Gaza since the war began.

We also covered the beginning of the closed-door trial of the Wall Street Journal’s Evan Gershkovich, who is accused by Russia of spying, charges that he, his employer and the US government have described as politically motivated. And, in India, the novelist Arundhati Roy, an outspoken critic of the prime minister, Narendra Modi, is being prosecuted under anti-terrorism legislation for comments made about Kashmir in 2010. Amrit Dhillon reported on a letter signed by more than 200 academics, activists and journalists protesting against the decision.

With the far right on the rise, and the spectre of a Trump presidency on the horizon after the alarming TV debate with Joe Biden on Thursday night, things could get worse for the free press. It’s vital we stand up for it.

The 50 or more lies of Donald Trump in the last debate.

Even Donald Trump’s own niece, Mary Trump, broke her silence and begged Democrats everywhere to defeat her deranged uncle.

Mary Trump: Pardoning Trump is "INSANITY" and an "ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE IDEA."
If Donald Trump wins, our country will never be the same…

The local news broadcast some of the debate. They mentioned Trump's lies, but they mentioned above all the way Biden seemed to lag behind in mental readiness.

As I gathered, Trump risks being president again thanks to Biden.

Debates are one small part of running for president. Would Europe be happy seeing four more years of attempts to shatter NATO? And the Paris Climate Accords? Trump thinks of only himself and his country. We live in a world today where everyone is dependent on each other. We certainly can’t go on destroying the environment and the sea without repercussions around the globe. Dishonest Don cares about himself and his countries pleasure. Let us start thinking globally and not locally. Let us remember that if we encourage bullies here, we encourage them around the world. We cannot expect perfection out of leaders when we are not able to stand up for truth and democracy in our own country. We can no longer be a beacon for democracy when we encourage tyrants.

I really think the question should be, do we mind a president that is slower on the draw? Or do we want an alley cat that is a pathological liar who had at least 30 lies on his debate alone? We need some character in a leader. If Dishonest Don can be excused for having 37 felonies, we should let every other person who has only one or two felonies to at least also be excused and be capable of serving, in any important capacity that requires character in their jobs.

“He is a consummate narcissist. And he constantly engages in reckless conduct. … He will always put his own interests, and gratifying his own ego, ahead of everything else, including the country’s interests. Our country can’t, you know, can’t be a therapy session for you know, a troubled man like this.”
