"He has the largest tactical nuclear arsenal in the world and the second largest strategic nuclear arsenal in the world. He's already on the world stage. When I hear people say that, oh, it elevates him, all we do is talk about Putin all the time.

""... to help bring what he described as honesty to the 2026 midterm elections. Mr. Trump has long opposed mail-in voting, though Republicans made electoral gains in 2024 by embracing the practice." Says the NYT. I'm skeptical of the implication in that last sentence, that mail-in voting is better for Republicans than it is for Democrats. I think the 2024 gains only show that if there is mail-in voting, Republicans will do better if they encourage their supporters to use that method, rather than to wait for Election Day and to vote in person. But I would imagine that if general mail-in voting is eliminated and most people can only vote in person, Republicans might be even better off. Why would that be?"

Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump's Immunity Decision Riles Democrats

Yesterday we got the news that the Supreme Court had ruled that all president's and ex-presidents, even Donald Trump had complete immunity for acts committed under the imprimatur of their office, while having no immunity for acts committed as private citizens.

"In this case, the Attorney General purported to appoint a private citizen as Special Counsel to prosecute a former President on behalf of the United States.

On June 28, 2024, the United States Supreme Court held in Fischer v. United States that a violation of 18 U.S.C. Seç. 1512(c)(2) could not be based on allegations involving illegal protest activities, i.e., “by entering and remaining in the United States Capitol without autority and committing an act of civil disorder and engaging in disorderly and disruptive conduct.” In doing so, the Court vacated of every District Court Judge in the District of Columbia who had answered that same question with the opposite finding — except for one.

On December 17, 2021, Matthew Perna was charged by the Biden DOJ with violating Sec. 1512(c)(2) “by entering and remaining in the United States Capitol without authority and committing an act of civil disorder, and threatening Congressional officials, and engaging in disorderly and disruptive conduct.”

Pursuant to a pre-indictment plea agreement that had been negotiated between Matthew, assisted of an experience criminal defense attorney, and the Biden DOJ, Matthew entered a plea of “Guilty” to that charge the same day.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Was Trump Set Up on Document Charges?

Some Key Bridge news to start. First, a bit old. THIRD CHANNEL NOW OPEN: 

A third temporary channel around the #KeyBridge collapse is now open. The Fort Carroll Temporary Alternate Channel, depicted in green, has a controlling depth of 20 feet, a 300-foot horizontal clearance, and a vertical clearance of 135 feet. This will be for commercially essential vessels. 

Officials believe it'll help facilitate around 15 percent of pre-collapse commercial activity.

And then  

The first commercial vessel transited through the Limited Access Channel at the #FSKBridge site Thursday morning. The LAC (which has a controlling depth of at least 35 feet, a horizontal clearance of 300 feet and a vertical clearance of 214 feet) is expected to provide passage for a limited number of commercial vessels into the Port of Baltimore and a departure opportunity for some deep draft vessels currently unable to leave the harbor since the bridge collapse. The Captain of the Port will permit transit within the LAC with restrictions as described in MSIB 043-24, including weather limitation which may impact that transit window.

The deplorable boys with big toys have been at work.
