… plots being hatched to thwart President Trump’s powers and ByeDone enshrining executive orders, etc, make me seriously doubt IF our RPOTUS will be allowed to govern at all😡😢
Well, the good news, now, imo, is that RPOTUS is on to these evil minions, and, can thwart their thwart attempts.

In recent years, we have lost over 150,000 farmers in this country. You heard that right. Just in the last few years, 150,000 farmers have gone out of business.

>>>Yes, dear Jane, I pray you’re right. Our intrepid RPOTUS does look and sound fiercely determined to MAGA one more time and doesn’t seem he’s going to let anybody or anything stop him🙏🇺🇸❤
That's always been my understanding and I worked in/around beer/beverage during the time that Cinco de Mayo first came to be celebrated.
My recollection was that Anheuser-Busch first started it, the ploy got picked up by the rest of the brewers almost instantly....that business is so incestuous it's silly at times....then someone decided to enlarge the pull tabs so the customer could REALLY chug 'er down and all the engineers/production staffers got to rack up two or three MORE weeks of unpaid overtime to make it all happen.
(I still wonder why I stuck with that stuff as long as I did....40 hour paycheck for 75 hours work and every now and then hear the boss say "We'll make it up to you...".)

Hugh Hewitt: “THE SHOW TRIAL OF DONALD TRUMP: THE RAILROADING OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS IN PLAIN SIGHT…The Fourteenth Amendment, because of its guarantee that ‘nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws’ binds the courts of New York to the requirement of due process of law first stated in the Fifth Amendment. Former President Donald Trump is not receiving the process owed him by the Constitution of the United States.”

Hans von Spakovsky: “TRUMP’S NY PROSECUTION IS A BOGUS CASE BY A BOGUS PROSECUTOR…Neither the FEC nor the Justice Department ever filed an enforcement action against the Trump campaign or Trump personally over the payment; specifically, because it was not a campaign-related expense. You know what would have led to enforcement actions? If Trump had actually claimed this was a campaign-related expense and had used campaign funds to make the payment, I have no doubt he would have been prosecuted by the feds for the illegal use of campaign funds to pay a personal expense. That’s what former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., went to prison for after he pleaded guilty in 2013 to spending $750,000 on personal expenses.”

Andrew McCarthy: “I think the gag order is over-the-top and have said so…It is an arrogant expression of a judge convinced that nothing — not even free expression and robust political speech in a presidential election — takes precedence over the administration of justice in the farcical ongoing trial…If Merchan were truly interested in the administration of justice, he could have postponed the trial until after the November election.”

Jim Jordan, Nicole Malliotakis, and Jeff Van Drew: “AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN SEE THROUGH MANHATTAN POLITICAL TRIAL AGAINST TRUMP...For the first time ever in American history, a politically elected prosecutor is trying to jail a former president and current declared candidate for that office. This prosecution, coming less than seven months before the presidential election, threatens to undermine the election and ultimately harm our democracy… Americans see through this charade. They intuitively know when someone’s getting a raw deal. They see crime in Manhattan as Bragg spends his time prosecuting a president for political reasons. They see violent criminals roaming the streets and local businesses shutting down because it’s unsafe. Americans are smarter than Democrats give them credit for. Americans understand that politics is why President Trump is on trial.”

Paul Ingrassia: “ALVIN BRAGG’S LEGAL ASSAULT ON PRESIDENT TRUMP IS LAWFARE OF THE WORST KIND…To channel our eloquent Commander-in-Chief: For God’s sake it’s been seven years already, what the hell is another seven months going to make a difference! The choice to prosecute President Trump now, perhaps at the summit of his political clout, where most reputable polls have him trouncing Biden in the upcoming general election, just reeks of improprieties – and indeed, election interference – of the worst possible variety.”

Jed Shugerman: “I THOUGHT THE BRAGG CASE AGAINST TRUMP WAS A LEGAL EMBARRASSMENT. NOW I THINK IT’S A HISTORIC MISTAKE…Eight years after the alleged crime itself, it is reasonable to ask if this is more about Manhattan politics than New York law. This case should serve as a cautionary tale about broader prosecutorial abuses in America — and promote bipartisan reforms of our partisan prosecutorial system.”

Gregg Jarrett: “Hocus-pocus is a meaningless distraction or illusion that is intended to fool. That neatly summarizes District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump…It is Bragg, himself, who is guilty of election interference in 2024 by bringing a legally absurd case designed to take Trump off the campaign trail while his opponent, Joe Biden, freely blankets key states in advance of the November balloting. It’s a neat trick called ‘lawfare’ — weaponizing the law to persecute a political enemy under the guise of a legitimate prosecution. It doesn’t matter that any conviction will surely be overturned on appeal. By then, the damage will be done.”
Gregg Jarrett: “Any neutral and objective judge who is knowledgeable in the law would have long ago dismissed Bragg’s sham charges. Instead, the case went to Judge Juan Merchan whose anti-Trump bias is on conspicuous display whenever he takes the bench. His unconstitutional gag order on the leading candidate for president is but one in a string of head-banging pronouncements.”

Jonathan Turley: “ALVIN BRAGG HAS HIS TRUMP TRIAL, ALL HE NEEDS NOW IS A CRIME: For many of us in the legal community, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump borders on the legally obscene: an openly political prosecution based on a theory even legal pundits dismiss…Of course, neither Bragg nor his office has ever seen this type of criminal case in any other defendant. Ever. We’ve never seen a case like this one where a dead misdemeanor from 2016 could be revived as a felony just before the 2024 election.”

Jonathan Turley: “ON ALVIN BRAGG AND THE ART OF NOT TAKING THE LAW TOO SERIOUSLY…Bragg is vague as to what should have been noted on the ledgers for the payments. It is not even clear if Trump knew of this expense’s designation as a legal cost. However, it really did not matter, because the misdemeanor has been as dead as Dillinger for years…For months, Bragg has suggested that the ‘other crime’ was the violation of federal election laws, suggesting that the payment was really a campaign contribution Trump made to himself that was not properly recorded. The problem is that the Justice Department investigated that crime already and decided that it was not a viable criminal claim. It did not even seek a civil fine.”

Rich Lowry: “REMEMBER WHEN BILL CLINTON STOLE THE 1992 ELECTION? The Arkansas governor’s political operation was, in part, an elaborate conspiracy to keep women who alleged to have had affairs with Clinton quiet. Hillary Clinton was an active participant in the schemes. And so, by Bragg’s logic, this Democratic power couple — dominant in the party for a decade or more and still honored today — comprises election thieves…State troopers were involved in procuring women for Clinton and had been pressured prior to the 1992 campaign not to talk. A Clinton loyalist named Buddy Young told one of the troopers during the campaign, ‘If you know what’s good for you, you’ll keep your mouth shut’… Now, if we take Alvin Bragg seriously, stealing the 1992 election has to be added to the list.”

Andrew McCarthy: “HOW JUDGE MERCHAN IS ORCHESTRATING TRUMP’S CONVICTION…Bragg, a county district attorney responsible for enforcing state law, has no authority to prosecute federal crimes, much less crimes under FECA — a corpus so abstruse that Congress created a specialized bureaucracy, the Federal Election Commission, to ensure its uniform application, vesting the FEC and the Justice Department with exclusive enforcement jurisdiction…Yet, Judge Merchan has swallowed whole Bragg’s theory that he can enforce FECA.”

Andrew McCarthy: “BIDEN’S COLLUSION IN THE ANTI-TRUMP LAWFARE GAMBIT: The president is thoroughly complicit in the prosecutions of his opponent, which he hopes to ride to a second term in the Oval Office…Unlike Trump, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign actually did violate the campaign-finance laws by misdescribing its disbursements in concocting the Russiagate smear (e.g., the production of the Steele dossier) as legal expenses rather than opposition research. Consequently, the FEC fined Clinton’s campaign. Now, let’s say a district attorney in some deep-red county in Florida, Texas, or Oklahoma theorized that Hillary had schemed to steal the 2016 election, and that the shady description of the Russiagate expenditures in her campaign’s ledgers amounted to falsification of business records under the laws of that DA’s state…”
Page 2: “Let’s say that ambitious Republican DA, in order to court the affections of MAGA populists or Clinton-loathing conservatives, had gotten a grand jury to indict Hillary on the Bragg theory — namely, falsification of records to conceal a violation of federal campaign law. Ask yourself this question: In those circumstances, do you think there’s a scintilla of a chance that the Biden Justice Department, with its exclusive jurisdiction over criminal enforcement of federal campaign law in the United States, would sit idly by while a red-state prosecutor, with no federal authority, indicted a Democratic icon? Or do you figure that they would instantly bury the state and federal courts in voluminous legal briefs to get the case shut down as a lawless abuse of power? Would the media–Democrat complex be cheering the prosecutor, or ripping him as a reckless hack who was making up his own version of federal campaign law in order to persecute a partisan rival?”…
Page 3: “Yet, when it comes to the trial in Manhattan, the Biden Justice Department is sitting on its hands and ignoring the district attorney’s usurpation of federal authority. There’s one reason and one reason alone for that: Bragg indicted Donald Trump. In the end, maybe this will all backfire on Democrats. But regardless of how it is being executed, never forget what the lawfare campaign is designed to do: Joe Biden hopes to ride these prosecutions of his opponent to a second term in the Oval Office.”

Andrew McCarthy: “HILLARY CLINTON, RECIDIVIST ELECTION-THEFT CONSPIRATOR…Regarding 1992, the Clinton campaign used a law firm as the intermediary for tens of thousands of dollars in payments to a private investigator (Jack Palladino) whose task was to obtain the silence of women who claimed to have had affairs with Bill Clinton…it turns out that this 1992 tactic — booking as legal fees what might euphemistically be called ‘research’ — was the blueprint for the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign, in cahoots with the Democratic National Committee. They paid their law firm, Perkins Coie, which retained the research firm Fusion GPS and its contractor, former British spy Christopher Steele, to generate the farcical Steele dossier that was shared with the FBI, the State Department, and the media to smear Trump as a clandestine agent of the Kremlin…
Page 2: “In the Clinton campaign and DNC filings with the FEC, the payments were disguised as ‘legal services’ and ‘legal compliance and consulting,’ rather than research…How cynically amusing, then, for Bragg to rationalize that Trump had to be charged because the 2016 election race was so tight that any deceptive scheme could have affected the outcome. It goes without saying that Bragg has not lifted a finger to prosecute Hillary.”
