Elections 2024 / Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Full-Term Abortion Should Be Left Up to the Mother
« Last post by mystery-ak on Today at 08:37:51 pm »Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Full-Term Abortion Should Be Left Up to the Mother
Hannah Knudsen 9 May 2024
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. believes abortion — even the murder of a full-term baby — should be a decision made by the mother.
The presidential hopeful does not believe anyone should be able to step in and stop the murder of a full-term baby, making the remark during an interview with podcaster Sage Steele.
Kennedy said he believes that the government should not be involved in determining if and when a woman can have an abortion.
“We should leave it to the woman. We shouldn’t have government involved,” he said.
“Even if it’s full-term?” she asked.
“Even if it’s full-term,” Kennedy confirmed.

Politics/Government / Johnson Vows to Protect Jack Smith Hours After Democrats Save His Speakership
« Last post by mystery-ak on Today at 08:35:41 pm »Johnson Vows to Protect Jack Smith Hours After Democrats Save His Speakership
Bradley Jaye 9 May 2024
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) wasted little time after 163 Democrats voted to save his speakership to announce he would not use Congress’s constitutional power of the purse to stop special counsel Jack Smith’s “lawfare” against Donald Trump.
The Speaker, in some of his earliest public comments after Democrats saved his gavel, refused to make any attempt to defund Smith’s office as it continues its prosecutions of Trump.
“That’s not something you wave a wand and just eliminate the special counsel as a provision,” Johnson told Politico. “There is a necessity for a function like that, because sometimes the Department of Justice — which is an executive branch agency — can’t necessarily, without a conflict of interest, investigate or prosecute the president who’s their boss, or the president’s family.”
When asked straightforwardly if he would write language eliminating Smith’s job into appropriations bills, Johnson replied “no.”

Trump attorney asks judge to allow Trump to 'respond publicly' to Stormy Daniels' testimony
By Kyle Schnitzer
Trump attorney Todd Blanche asked the judge to allow the former president to "be allowed to respond publicly" to Stormy Daniels' testimony, in part to the response to the media coverage.
“There’s no doubt there will be a feature on political shows tonight and articles," Blanche said.
He later went on, "This isn’t the same story that has been going around for the past several years. It’s much different. We’d ask you to remove the gag order to Ms. Daniels."

Prosecutors respond: Trump's team 'almost lives in an alternate reality'
Responding to Trump attorney Todd Blanche's plea to ditch the gag order against Stormy Daniels, Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Chris Conroy described the attempt as if "it seems as though the other side almost lives in an alternate reality."
“Modifying this gag order now in the middle of trial would signal to future witnesses they could be at risk as well," Conroy said.
Trump passes a note to Blanche after Conroy's comment. Blanche is now responding for a "narrowly tailored gag order."

Trump appears angry as judge denies attempt to rip Stormy Daniels
Donald Trump was hunched forward with a big red grimace on his face as Justice Merchan denied his team's motion for a modified gag order to rip Stormy Daniels.
Merchan said that Trump's "track record speaks for itself" when speaking about witnesses throughout the trial.
Merchan said "can't" take Blanche's word that Trump will curb his "attacks" on witnesses
“These were very real, very threatening attacks on potential witness. Your clients track record speaks for itself," the judge said.
He said earlier: "My concern is not just protecting Ms. Daniels or a witness who just testified. My concern is protecting these proceedings as a whole."

Trump was a 'really good boss,' WH assistant says; jury gets sent home early
By Kyle Schnitzer
Madeleine Westerhout, 33, called Trump a "really good boss" while on cross-examination.
"He never once made me feel that I didn’t deserve that job and that I didn’t belong there. Especially in an office filled with older men he never made me feel like I didn’t belong there. He was a really good boss," Westerhout said.
"I found him very enjoyable to work for."
Westerhout is done testifying for the day as the jury was sent home early today.

Trump was asked if he wanted to cancel golf club membership in invoice
By Kyle Schnitzer
An invoice from Winged Foot Golf Club
Donald Trump was asked whether he wanted to suspend his membership to Winged Foot Golf Club for "4 or 8 years" by his assistant while he was president, documents show.
Madeleine Westerhout testified about an invoice sent by Winged Foot Gold Club for the club's annual dues of $6,979.01 — which featured handwriting by Rhona Graff, Trump's assistant, asking whether he wanted to continue paying even if he couldn't play there often.
“Dear Mr. President! If Winged Foot will allow me to suspend your membership for 4 or 8 years, do you want me to looking into it or do you want to continue paying annual dues + food minimum?" the invoice reads.
Westerhout said that Graff was asking if he wanted to suspend his membership because he "wouldn't be able to use" it while in the White House.
Trump wrote in a bold black pen "PAY" next to Graff's note, and later initial "D" next to "ASAP OK" near the dollar amount of the invoice.
Riveting.
