The Truscott Chronicles

The word “bipartisan” seems to have returned to the Washington D.C. lexicon thanks to and in spite of Marjorie Taylor Mouth.

Now that military assistance from the U.S. will begin flowing again, Ukraine has a chance to counter the Russian summer offensive that is expected to begin as early as June.

Comparing Trump's Trial to that of John Gotti, what was missing in those days was the overall threat of violence by Trump supporters that hangs over this trial.

Calls for violence are madness, a madness being perpetrated by the Republican Party in a desperate attempt to win elections they cannot win with votes cast at the ballot box.

The facts of Trump's trial—engaging in election interference which he is accusing his opposition of—have not been enough to keep him awake. But, hey, maybe the verdict will.

Chris Sununu said previously that Trump should drop out of the race if he is convicted of a crime. Does he think that now? “No, no, no, of course not. That is not to be expected at all."

The analogy that pundits have seized to describe the current moment for Republicans is the proverbial dog who caught the proverbial car. What does the dog do now?

Back in the 1800’s, most states had laws forbidding their citizens from exercising private rights we enjoy today. And It is these private parts of our lives that right-wing Republicans want to re-assert control over.

Trump's abortion statement is like a hostage video made by a desperate man: "Save me, just get out there and vote for me, vote for Donald Trump, me me me me, just please vote for me and keep me out of jail."

How is it that Trump has been able to nearly single-handedly stymie this country’s ability to help the rest of NATO defeat Putin’s fascistic attempt to take over Ukraine?

The best thing that could be said about Cannon’s whiny little addendum is that she actually includes a clear reference to “the upcoming trial,” at least acknowledging that after the hemming and hawing she has done so far, there will be one.

Seven innocent civilians trying to bring food to starving civilians in Gaza were killed by an American weapon that was designed to assassinate terrorists.

Maybe Aileen Cannon is not an ignoramus fumbling her way through a complex case, but rather a Justice Thomas in training. What if she succeeds in delaying the trial until the election, and Trump wins?

John Eastman , who conjured up the legal theory that Mike Pence could delay the certification of the 2020 election, and helped whip up the crowd on Jan 6 that invaded the Capitol, is no longer able to "practice" law.

Elections are not supposed to be cage matches, and they weren’t until Donald Trump came along.

People keep saying that our politics is broken and split by disaffection and lies. But somewhere, a truck drives through a neighborhood picking up the fallen branches so old men don’t end up in the hospital or even worse, in the ground.
