😂 Photo of JD Vance Goes Viral as Newspaper Headline Mocked photo of Republican vice presidential nominee and Ohio Senator JD Vance has gone viral after Democrats pointed out that he was sitting right next to a newspaper with a lead headline touting low inflation rates. In a Thursday morning post to X, formerly Twitter, Republican Congressman Dan Waltz of Florida shared an image of himself and Vance inside an airplane pointing at a bottle of Diet Mountain Dew with a copy of the latest edition of The Wall Street Journal on a table between them. https://www.newsweek.com/photo-jd-vance-goes-viral-newspaper-headline-mocked-1940117

The Trump Docket: Secret filing in Jan. 6 case may signal Jack Smith has disclosed sensitive evidence to judge In Washington, D.C., U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, the jurist overseeing Donald Trump‘s Jan. 6 election subversion case, entered a completely classified and redacted one-page order onto the docket, prompting watchers of the recently-revived indictment of the former president and 34-count convicted felon to wonder just what the secrecy is all about. NEW YORK CRIMINAL Merchan told him plainly: “innuendo and mischaracterizations do not a conflict create.” Trump’s lawyers tried coming at it from a different angle afterward, suggesting that if his sentencing — currently set for Sept. 18 — was delayed past the 2024 election, it would serve to “prospectively mitigate the asserted conflicts.” GEORGIA CRIMINAL A state appeals court quietly denied a request by Trump’s lead attorney to push back key proceedings aimed at dismissing the former president’s racketeering (RICO) and election subversion charges brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Trump’s lawyer wanted to take a 70th birthday trip with his wife of 45 years, he said, and indicated it was “fully paid and non-refundable.” https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/the-trump-docket-secret-filing-in-jan-6-case-may-signal-jack-smith-has-disclosed-sensitive-evidence-to-judge/

Looks like Venezuela may have to wait😂 Jack Smith Should Move Now to Make Trump Give Up Passport: Ex-Prosecutor Former President Donald Trump should be forced to give up his passport to stop him from fleeing the country and avoiding prosecution if he loses the presidential election, according to ex-federal prosecutor Randall Eliason. Trump, convicted in May of 34 felony charges in New York state, also faces a federal felony election subversion trial that will likely only take place if he loses to Vice President Kamala Harris in November. During a streaming audio conversation with tech billionaire Elon Musk on Monday, Trump hinted that he might flee to Venezuela "if something happens with this election." Eliason, a George Washington University Law School professor specializing in white- collar crime, suggested on Tuesday that Special Counsel Jack Smith, whose office is prosecuting Trump, should move to force the former president to surrender his passport due to increased concerns about him fleeing prosecution following his comments to Musk. In a post to X, formerly Twitter, Eliason noted that U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan did not require Trump to give up his passport as a condition of his release pending trial, while arguing that "in light of" Trump's remarks on Monday, "Smith should move to modify Trump's release conditions and have her require that he give up his passport." https://www.newsweek.com/jack-smith-should-move-now-make-trump-give-passport-ex-prosecutor-1938818

A drive by wave to black maga 😂 ‘’ DEI is NOT about hiring someone because they’re a minority. It’s about NOT throwing away someone’s resume just because they have a Hispanic/Middle eastern or “ghetto” name. The only people fighting DEI are those that have manipulated into thinking it’s something it isn’t’’

Looking good! Great update and perfect place in your original thread. The 3 months of random testing recommendation from panel physician is definitely new as standard guidelines were for a one year ban with scheduled testing. In the confidential space of attorney-client advice, they all say NO ..for sound legal reasons, as widely discussed in many immigration practice advisories. In public forums w mods and tos rules….its a delicate maneuver 😂. You included all the right details for anyone reading your post. Do come back to update.

The plummeting stock comes after many investors bought shares in the media company hoping for a boost during the 2024 election, with a possible Trump victory netting an even higher increase. Trump Media reported a loss of $16 million in its first full quarter as a publicly traded company Friday, earning just $836,900 for the period ending June 30. It’s the latest run of bad news for Truth Social, which is rapidly losing users. It was expected to be an easy money grab for Trump, who owns 60 percent of the company. But even the company’s net loss of $58.2 million in 2023 had to be reaudited after its accounting firm was charged with “massive fraud.” At the very least, Trump Media’s meager numbers last quarter were a huge improvement from the previous one, when it lost an astonishing $327.6 million and only brought in $770,500 in revenue. Trump is stuck with his company’s stock for just one more month, when he is legally allowed to sell his shares without board approval. He can’t try to increase the share price by bragging, as he did with his real estate properties, because that would be illegal. Even though the Supreme Court gave him a break with its immunity ruling, he still needs cash to pay his mounting legal bills. It’s only a matter of time before September arrives and Trump dumps his stock. The question is, how low will the share price be? https://newrepublic.com/post/184782/trump-tanks-media-company-truth-social-posts-x

‘’This is so perfect. Trumps whole shtick since 2016 has been hurling shallow insults like a middle school bully "Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary, Lyin' Ted." Well it's time to welcome Denture Don!’’ ‘’Wonder will trump attack Elon Musk's equipment for not working properly like he did the NABJ.‘’

Trump Campaign Forced To Pay North Carolina City $82K in Advance for Rally Trump is set to take the stage at Asheville's Thomas Wolfe Auditorium on Wednesday after paying $82,247.60 to the city for a "last-minute" rally, according to Blue Ridge Public Radio (BPR). The campaign, struggling to effectively blunt the momentum of Vice President Kamala Harris, reportedly first contacted the city about the rally on August 8. While the campaign paid in advance due to Asheville's policy for short-notice bookings, Trump has a long history of failing to pay cities for billed rally fees, leaving the White House in January 2021 with at least $850,000 in unpaid rally debt. Most of the bills are still unpaid, including more than $500,000 owed to the city of El Paso, Texas The Trump campaign booked the smaller of two venues at the same complex in downtown Asheville for Wednesday's rally. The Thomas Wolfe Auditorium has a capacity of just 2,431 people, while a larger arena next door that is not hosting Trump has a capacity of 7,200. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-campaign-forced-pay-north-carolina-city-82k-advance-rally-1938769
