Excerpt from FL lawyer Jeff Childs’ Coffee and Covid commentary today:

🔥 The Washington Post ran an encouraging story yesterday headlined, “Trump files new challenges to federal election-obstruction case in D.C..”
Trump’s newest motion to dismiss the DC Election Integrity case was filed late last night, right before the midnight deadline, which is a completely typical and totally unremarkable legal practice that for some reason seemed to delight the drooling morons at the Washington Post.
This new motion joins the previous motion to dismiss the case. The earlier motion argued Trump’s presidential immunity covers official actions taken while he was in office. Last night’s new motion added three more arguments: First Amendment free speech, double jeopardy since Trump was already acquitted for the same conduct by the Senate during his second impeachment trial, and lack of fair notice that his complaining about democrat cheating would be considered criminal conduct.
I thought you’d enjoy, as I did, the way Trump’s lawyers began their new motion. Here’s my lightly-edited version (only edited for brevity):
The prosecution opens its indictment by stating that President Trump “had a right, like every American, to speak publicly about the election,” including his deeply held view that there had been fraud and other irregularities “during the election and that he had won.” These points are not in dispute. Nonetheless, in an astonishing display of doublethink, the prosecution simultaneously claims that President Trump—simply by speaking his mind and petitioning for a redress of grievances—also somehow conspired to “defraud the United States,” “oppress rights,” and “obstruct an official proceeding.” Attempting to explain this obvious contradiction, the prosecution argues that there was no “outcome-determinative fraud in the election” (whatever that means), and that President Trump supposedly knew this because some government officials “notified” him “that his claims were untrue.”
If there is any constant in our democratic system of governance, it is that the marketplace of ideas—not the mandates of government functionaries or partisan prosecutors—determines the scope of public debate. Countless millions believe, as President Trump consistently has and currently does, that fraud and irregularities pervaded the 2020 Presidential Election. As the indictment itself alleges, President Trump gave voice to these concerns and demanded that politicians in a position to restore integrity to our elections not just talk about the problem, but investigate and resolve it.
The first section begins with the First Amendment, and appropriately starts by citing the Supreme Court referencing George Orwell: “Our constitutional tradition stands against the idea that we need Oceania’s Ministry of Truth.” The 9-0 decision, which is significant far beyond Trump’s case, also explained, “The mere potential for the exercise of (a broad government censorial) power casts a chill, a chill the First Amendment cannot permit if free speech, thought, and discourse are likely to remain a foundation of our freedom.”
Indeed. They could have been arguing the Missouri v. Biden case. It’s a fascinating confluence of issues.
Despite the WaPo’s snide commentary, it’s a terrific motion, and in a fair court it should be an easy winner. Here’s the link to the whole thing, which I found very entertaining and think is quite accessible for non-lawyers.

Bidenomics!
We are governed by fools, malcontents and traitors.

The Biden regime’s malfeasance will be studied for centuries:
Obama/Biden funds Iran to start a war with Israel.
So Hamas starts a war with Israel.
Obama/Biden signals that they stand with Israel even though they’re clearly anti-Israel.
Obama/Biden has lit off a powder keg.

I’m going to work overtime to expose every single so called “MAGA” rep who votes for Tom Emmer.
It’s unacceptable. I don’t even care if these people lose their seats. If you claim to be pro-Trump and you vote for Emmer, you’re a Democrat and I’m exposing you.
If only, norsky. If only. Maybe the headline will be useful in starting to bring down these modern-day nazis.

The largest fleet of warships NATO has ever assembled is gathering in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. In addition to two US carrier strike groups and an amphibious assault force, several other warships from other NATO nations are joining its ranks. This is not directly about Israel. This is not directly about Palestinians. This is about stoking the flames of World War III in an election year to distract from every failure imaginable by the regime.

Discriminating against an individual is despicable, bad for society, and morally unacceptable. Don’t do it.
Avoiding a collection of people in which you believe there are too many who openly hate you is self-defense. Definitely do that.
For example, being Jewish at Harvard is a safety risk.
