Former President Donald Trump's promised press conference to refute the allegations in the indictment handed up by the Fulton County District Attorney's Office is now very much in doubt, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

Sources tell ABC News that Trump's legal advisers have told him that holding such a press conference with dubious claims of voter fraud will only complicate his legal problems and some of his attorneys have advised him to cancel it.

Glad he has reasonably competent counsel.  Wonder where they were after the election when Trump was digging the holes?

Nope, he's part of the deep state, too! And, of course, a Marxist Democratic communist...

Well I wouldn't go that far!   I am embracing my inner RINO though.  I'll stay registered R so I can primary against Trump.  To the extent other Rs fall in to line behind Trumpism, they have lost my support.   If Trump or some other MAGA type is the nominee, I'm happy and proud to vote against him in the general!  Jim

Closely related.   Both in the genus Salix, I think.   Some of the earliest flowering trees to show up in the Cretaceous.   (I think, going from memory.  I suppose I'll be called a liar if I am wrong!) Jim

Really?  This is the big plan now? 

Do you think I'm not capable of reading you fools like a book? 

I was curious if the "inside memo" may have been started and then floated between the 6 of you Marxist Democrats .  Let me take a guess at how it went - "don't even read Rich's posts and then we'll see how many posts he'll make without getting a read or response".

I'll even take a shot at who came up with this idea.  

Could it be the Democrat Socialist from Michigan, Jim M. (alias Albert Einstein)  

You guys really are about as easy to read as a bunch of........ hmm.... let's see.

How about as easy to read as a bunch of leftist Democrats?   

I can just see tweedle dum there in Michigan scratching his head and saying to himself "gee, how did he figure us out"?

LOL

P.S.  Not to worry Russell, I'll be posting more tomorrow, and Thursday, and Friday..... etc...  

No memo was circulated Rich, at least not to me.  I think your ego might be running away with you!

I am sure that is true.  An aspen stand in Utah is considered to be the most massive single organism on Earth.

It isn't even that we grow weary voluntarily pointing a flame-thrower directly at our face in the way you write. The fact is, the sources you put up are from nut jobs that don't command any respect here.

If you ever post a link to an AP or Reuters article, wake me up.

Guys, this is one of the things that puzzles me most about Richard.  Sometimes the stories that are most dear to him are reported, albeit reluctantly and cautiously, in mainstream or left-biased sources.   Why not hit you "lefties" with a source like that?  It would sure make it harder to dismiss that there might be some "there" there on some of these stories.

Here for example is a New York Times from day before yesterday, it is not paywalled: https://dnyuz.com/2023/08/19/inside-the-collapse-of-hunter-bidens-plea-deal/

The Times is exploring the collapse of the Hunter Biden plea deal.  They do not talk about the "Biden crime family" and they do not identify Garland as the most corrupt AG in the history of the union.  They do not talk about the President at all.   They do talk a lot about the IRS whistleblowers, and this may be the first time the average NYT reader has heard of the IRS whistleblowers.

When the Times start reporting on this aspect of the overall story, what shoe drops next?  It is pretty much indisputable that Hunter grifted millions from foreign governments based upon his last name alone.   The germane questions of course are was Joe Biden aware (I personally think the answer has to be yes).  That alone demonstrates that Joe Biden lied to the people.  Next question, was Joe Biden complicit?  Actively involved?  The evidence is mounting from various sources who are more or less reputable.   Did the DOJ slow walk the investigation to protect both Bidens?   Looks like they did.  This story is escaping the realm of the right-wing press.

My point is twofold.  Locally, a NYT story like this is much more defensible to liberals and moderates than a right-wing screed from the Daily Epoch.  Sure the NYT does not call Joe Biden the head of a crime syndicate, but they are now paying attention.  This is an important development.

Nationally, I think Biden is going to have real trouble hanging in as the D candidate.   Especially when the NYT and similar sources next start to publish work that does not make him look categorically innocent.  What happens after that if/when these left-biased sources really dig in to the bank records and other documentary evidence?  I think it is going to be harder and harder for Biden to continue to distance himself from Hunter's graft in the coming days.

Finally, and I hope our good friend JimB reads this, his last act of defiling everything that is great about America will be when a jury convicts him of a serious crime, and they will all turn out to be liars out to get him.

Elections don't work, the press doesn't work, cops don't work, judges don't work, and the jury system doesn't work..everything is corrupt. That is his legacy to so many poisoned people. This man has done more damage than ISIS to the future of our country.

gotta call in 6 minutes will read and reply afterward

Some of you may recall I posted a petition last year designed to reduce light pollution in the county of Los Angeles. It was aimed at updating an existing light pollution ordinance and a few of you indicated you had signed it at the time.  The aim is to reduce the harmful effects of light pollution in the Castaic region which is a sensitive wildlife interface area and a gateway to the dark skies of the Mt Pinos viewing sites in the Los Padres national forest. Well, our efforts have borne fruit.
The county of Los Angeles delivered 10,500 notifications in form of a nicely-done brochure on the requirement of an ordinance designed to reduce light pollution in the target area. See attached images. Additionally, the county just released a video regarding it on youtube and the county channel. This was shot at the Griffith observatory and includes me and others who I recruited to join in the effort:

Sometimes Rich, a compliment is just a compliment for a job well done, and not an indication of a broader conspiracy.   This is especially true given that Rod’s political activism is in this instance uniquely relevant to the hobby and passion we all share!

I read this article yesterday. The bottom line is that if not for the judge at the end of the process, the plea deal would have likely stuck. The GOP push to discredit the plea deal and the IRS whistle-blowers undoubtedly had an effect, but without the judge picking the agreement apart at the last moment, it would have gone forward. Regarding Joe's awareness of his son's dealing, it's not that hard for me to believe that Joe did not know how unethical his son was behaving. I can't conclude Joe's dirty without hard evidence.

I agree with your last sentence.   I think it is more likely than you probably do that some hard evidence will be generally circulated, enough to force Joe Biden out of the race.   Time will tell on that.

I agree that a less diligent judge would have rubber stamped this deal.   Like I have posted before, I think it was a sweetheart deal that is understandable, given H Biden’s connections, but not a sweetheart deal  that can be condoned in 2023.   So kudos to the judge!   Jim
