Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio lost an internal vote to continue as his party’s nominee for speaker on Friday, plunging the House into further uncertainty and sending Republicans searching for a new leader.

The vote came hours after Mr. Jordan failed for a third time to win election as House speaker, leaving his party with no consensus on a way forward

This is incorrect.

The United State of America has

50 states

a federal district - DC

five major unincorporated territories ..Puerto Rico ..the U.S. Virgin Islands ..Guam ..the Northern Mariana Islands ..American Samoa

and nine Minor Outlying Islands, 8 in the Pacific and 1 in the Caribbean.

You've heard of the Battle of Midway? Midway Atoll is one of the 8 islands in the Pacific I think we got most of them due to WWII. Wake Island is another one. I know the Air Force has something there.

Gag orders are constitutional. SCOTUS has already ruled on these several times, but they have to be tailored to the case and not violate other general 1st amendment rights.

This gag order is very specific and doesn't have anything to do with politics.

I think the Judge's point....as he says that Donald Trump is still responsible.

I'm guess this will end in a fine.

Russia has yet to take Avdiivka. Things slowed down last week, but in the past couple of days they making a new push on Avdiivka.

But more importantly, you said two things. You accused me of DS talking points and you said the tables have turned in Ukraine.

I think we can use this as a reality check. Can we try to figure out what is happening vs, say what we what to happen. We can use this as a check. We can see what happens with these two questions

Will Russia have Avdiivka by Jan 1?

If they take Avdiivka, at what cost?

My theory is the Avdiivka is a political rather that a strategic objective. They are trying to take it to have a big "win" before the winter slows things down.

If you were doing an AAR on Avdiivka so far what could you say?

What went well for Russia is they basically launched a sneak attack. They were able to mass a lot of men and equipment and take Ukraine by surprise about 10 days ago.

What didn't go well is they seemed to have lost a lot of men and equipment without much gain in territory. For example Valerii Zaluzhnyi the CIC of Urkanian forces supposedly was in Avdiivika in the past two days to meet with the commanders there. There's video of him walking around.

Another development in Ukraine is the arrival of long distance ATACMS missiles from the US.

Ukraine used them airfields in Berdyansk and Luhansk and hit a large number of helicopters.

This is significant, because Russia is going to have to move their airfields and other targets further from the front.

np.

I think only the GA case will be televised and that won't start for a while.

The trial is not being televised. This is the NY civil suit for fraud.

Gag orders can take place in televised trials. It usually means you can only discuss stuff in court.

This is what the judge said two weeks ago

“Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them under any circumstances,” the judge said.

Justice Engoron said that his statement should be considered a “gag order” forbidding any posts, emails or public remarks about members of his staff. He added that serious sanctions would follow were he to be disobeyed

You talking to me or the judge?

More details

Defense lawyer Christopher Kise immediately apologized for Trump’s behavior, blaming the 2024 Republican presidential candidate’s bloated “campaign machinery” for simply forgetting to remove a webpage that mirrored the Truth Social post Trump had already deleted.

“There was no intention to evade or circumvent or ignore the order. I assure you that. I just know that this is a very large machine and this is one of the reasons, frankly, I don't have social media,” Kise said, trying to deflect with some light humor.

“But that’s been taken down. And we don't have any other… there were no subsequent postings,” Kise added.

The judge didn’t immediately accept that excuse.

“I will take that under advisement, but… Donald Trump is still responsible for the large machine,” Engoron reminded him.

Here's a story

Judge Chastises Trump For ‘Blatant Violation of the Gag Order’ on His Clerk, Raises Possible Penalties Including Fines or Jail New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron is upset Trump failed to delete a post attacking his clerk on his campaign page, weeks after the imposition of a gag order

“I learned that the subject offending post was never removed from the donaldjtrump.com and in fact, has been on the website for the past 17 days,” New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron remarked from the bench, asking why Trump shouldn’t face “serious sanctions” for his "blatant violation of the gag order," such as fines or “possibly imprisoning him.”

Trump's attorney Christopher Kise described the development as an accident.

another comment from twitter

Judge Engoron just asked Trump's lawyers why he shouldn't send him to jail or impose other sanctions in light of an incendiary post he ordered him to delete two weeks ago that remained online last night. Chris Kise said it was an oversight. Judge will rule later.

So the article you mentioned is from Nov

Published Nov. 22, 2020

We know that December 18th She and Michael Flynn and Patrick Byrne, the guy who used run overstock.com met with Trump in the White House. This meeting is mentioned in the GA indictment.

Interestingly enough that article was updated the day after.

Updated Dec. 19, 2020

The Times is accurate here.

The article is about this statement put out by the Trump campaign.

If requested? She is absolutely going to be requested.

If you watched Powell's defense for a motion to dismiss

I'm assuming this motion failed.....given that she just plead guilty a day before jury selection.

I know you didn't put the flair there.

The flair is unconnected was my point

My understanding of the background of this was Rudy Giuliani was the campaign's lawyer. Sidney Powell was announced and appeared as part of the team for like a week, but Rudy and her didn't get along. So she soon wasn't officially part of the team

The corrupt DA wasn't prepared to go to trial in the next couple days so she made Powell an offer she couldn't refuse. Willis plead 6 racketeering accounts down to nothing but a slap on the wrist, with a small fine. Who wouldn't take that deal?

The DA is going to trial though. She was going to be tried early with Kenneth Cheesebro, he is still going to trial. On Monday.

You're missing a part of Powell's deal. Powell has to testify now.
