World leaders think Trump is ‘laughing fool,’ John Bolton says
Consider the source but I agree with the underlying premise.

Thanks @Canugghead. I do have a paid subscription to WaPo but I also get a daily email from them with certain stories, I thought those stories were "Open Source" or whatever the correct term is. I'll copy/paste directly in the future.
I first heard this story from another source first thing this morning, confirmation came on WaPo an hour later or so. CBS (nat'l) and now PBS Newhour haven't mentioned it at all tonight; I think it should've been.___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."

Pay wall.Botch said:Man charged after allegedly beheading father and posting video online
andJanuary 31, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. EST(Manley099/Getty Images)ListenShareCommentAdd to your saved storiesSaveA man in Pennsylvania has been charged with suspicion of first-degree murder and abusing a corpse after he uploaded a video to YouTube that appeared to show his father, a federal employee, beheaded. In the graphic video, which has since been removed, the man also went on a 14-minute tirade, espousing right-wing conspiracy theories, demanding that President Biden resign and threatening to kill federal workers.
The victim, Michael Mohn, was found deceased at an address in Levittown, Pa., on Tuesday after his wife called emergency dispatchers.
Michael Mohn’s son, Justin Mohn, 32, was arraigned at 4 a.m. Wednesday and was charged with his death, Middletown Township police chief Joe Bartorilla told The Washington Post by phone.
Justin Mohn fled the scene and was tracked down some 100 miles away by investigators who used cellphone data to locate him, Bartorilla said. “He’s in custody, so he’s not a threat,” Bartorilla said. He added that he did not think anyone else was involved in Tuesday’s killing.
In the video, Justin Mohn said his father had worked for the federal government for over 20 years and called him “a traitor.” He wore a pair of bloodstained gloves and showed a bloodied plastic bag that appeared to contain his father’s head. He also railed against immigration, the LGBT community, the Black Lives Matter movement and the antifa movement. He called for an end of the federal government and said America was being run by a network of traitors.
Bartorilla confirmed that Michael Mohn was an employee of the federal government and said police would look into the graphic video as part of the case against the son. He said he was unable to confirm whether the beheading was the cause of Michael Mohn’s death, declining to comment on the video further out of respect for his family.
When asked about a possible motive, Bartorilla said: “We don’t know yet. We have some ideas.”
The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement that it is investigating the homicide along with the Middletown Township Police Department. It added that police were dispatched around 7 p.m. Tuesday after receiving the emergency call and found the deceased man in a bathroom.
“The victim’s adult son was not present when police arrived and left the area in his father’s vehicle,” the statement added.
The footage was viewed about 5,000 times before YouTube took the video down five to six hours later.
In a statement emailed to The Post early Wednesday, YouTube confirmed that the video was removed for violating the platform’s graphic-violence policy.
A spokesperson for the platform also said that Justin Mohn’s account was terminated in line with YouTube’s policies against violent extremism.
YouTube said its employees are closely tracking the platform and would be working to remove any new uploads of the video.
Justin Mohn was denied bail and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Feb. 8, according to a criminal docket filed with a magisterial district judge.

DONALD TRUMP’S BURN RATE: Trump’s constellation of political committees spent more than they raised in 2023. Why? Two words: legal bills.
“Two of Donald Trump’s political action committees spent an astonishing $29 million in legal consulting and legal fees in the second half of last year, leaving only $5 million in his leadership PAC’s coffers,” our Meridith McGraw and Jessica Piper report. “In total, the former president spent roughly $50 million in donor funds on legal expenses over the course of 2023. All told his web of committees, in aggregate, spent roughly $210 million during the 2023 calendar year while raising a bit shy of $200 million over the same period.”

Any opportunity to post some information about CHEETO and his loser weaknesses- here you go! (From Politico)
"SMITH SPEAKS OUT: In a filing yesterday for the classified documents case against Trump, special counsel JACK SMITHdelivered a forceful public rebuttal against the former president’s claims that his criminal prosecution has been infected by politics and legal impropriety. “The 68-page document began with what Smith’s team described as an effort to correct false assertions the former president had made about the nature of the case against him,” our colleagues Josh Gerstein and Kyle Cheney write, noting that it then turned to “a lengthy recitation” of the history of the case.
“The approach taken in the legal brief is somewhat unusual for the Justice Department. Though the filing was submitted to U.S. District Judge AILEEN CANNON, at times it sounded like an opening argument to a jury Trump could face in the future or the first chapter of a report meant to detail investigative findings to the public.”
TRUMP TRIAL TIMELINE: A federal judge in D.C. yesterday postponed Trump’s 2020 election subversion trial, which was originally set for March 4, while an appeal from Trump’s team for immunity plays out. “U.S. District Judge TANYA CHUTKAN on Friday vacated the March 4 trial date in the case brought by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith but did not immediately set a new date. The move opens the door for a separate prosecution in New York, charging Trump in connection with hush money payments to a porn actor, to proceed first,” AP’s Eric Tucker writes.MORE LEGAL LIMBO: WaPo’s Drew Harwell digs into the “sprawling investigation” into Digital World Acquisition, the SPAC that intended to merge with Trump Media in an effort to build out Trump’s endeavors. Though neither Trump himself, nor Trump Media, are accused of wrongdoing, the new documents provide a vivid picture of an investigation that reached many branches of the federal bureaucracy and “raise questions about how Trump, who built his political reputation in part on having mastered ‘the art of the deal,’ ended up committed to a business arrangement that federal agents now allege was undermined from its inception by financial fraud.”

This just in-How sweet it is!
"Trump has no immunity from Jan. 6 prosecution, appeals court rulesA federal appeals court has unanimously ruled that Donald Trump can be put on trial for trying to stay in power after losing the 2020 election, rejecting Trump’s sweeping claim of presidential immunity and moving the case one step closer to a jury.
“We cannot accept former President Trump’s claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power — the recognition and implementation of election results,” the panel of three judges wrote. “Nor can we sanction his apparent contention that the Executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and to have their votes count.”
The ruling comes days before the Supreme Court considers another untested question raised by Trump’s candidacy — whether the former president is an insurrectionist barred by the Constitution from returning to the White House because of his actions around Jan. 6.
Trump has already indicated that he plans to ask the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and the Supreme Court to review the immunity ruling. The court set tight deadlines for that review, saying it would put the ruling on hold until Feb. 12 for Trump to appeal to the Supreme Court but would not wait for the full D.C. Circuit to weigh in.
While his legal arguments keep failing in court, even rulings against him aid his goal of delaying any federal trial in D.C. until after the presidential election, in which he is the Republican front-runner.
Trump’s trial had been scheduled for March 4, one of four criminal prosecutions Trump faces while simultaneously campaigning to regain the White House. But it was delayed last week while the appeals process on the immunity issue continued.
The Justice Department has long held that a current president cannot be prosecuted. But Trump raised the novel claim that former presidents cannot either, at least for actions related to their official duties, unless impeached and convicted by Congress first. Having been acquitted by the Senate of inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, Trump said that to try him in federal court would be a double jeopardy violation.
Both assertions were viewed skeptically by legal scholars, several of whom served in Republican administrations, who wrote to the court that Trump’s position was “absurd,” and by the three appellate judges who heard the case.
“I think it’s paradoxical to say that his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed allows him to violate criminal laws,” Karen L. Henderson, the lone Republican on the panel, said during arguments over the case in early January.
Asked at that hearing whether Trump’s view of presidential impunity could allow for the assassination of a political rival, defense attorney D. John Sauer did not disagree. He only suggested that such an action would “speedily” result in impeachment.
For years, former president Donald Trump's lawyers said he should only be immune from charges while in office. Now, they say he should have absolute immunity. (Video: JM Rieger/The Washington Post)During the hearing, Judge Florence Y. Pan said the impeachment exception undermined rather than strengthened Trump’s argument. By conceding that a former president could be charged after impeachment, she said, Trump was admitting that there is no absolute immunity and only quibbling about the process."

Yep-deny, deflect, delay. I am hoping the recording studio cranks out their Number 1 hit in short order:"Down goes CHEETO, citizen man!"A bit more material from the judgment:
A three-judge appeals court panel on Tuesday upheld a lower court rulingthat deemed Trump is not immune from criminal prosecution as a former executive, blocking his effort to toss his federal 2020 election interference case on those grounds.
“For the purpose of this criminal case, former President Trump has become citizen Trump, with all of the defenses of any other criminal defendant,” the panel for the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in its 57-page decision."

One of my favorite political commentators, Robert Reich, has a bit of egg on his face today, but only via bad timing. His daily email blasted cheeto's "deny-deflect-delay" and the single repub judge on this panel, about two hours before they issued a unanimous and very direct verdict. Ewps!___________

Nothing like turning Taylor Swift into a campaign issue: (Got this thru a news feed)
Truth Social Feb 11, 2024 at 12:19 PMI signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will. There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money. Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!

And this commentary on CHEETO's recent incendiary comments about NATO and Russia:
One view from across the pond: “This is typical Trump fare. Say something provocative, grab some headlines, outrage your critics and thrill your fans,” writesFrank Gardner, the BBC’s security correspondent. However, he argues, “If a future aggressor, be it Vladimir Putin in Europe or Xi Jinping in the South China Sea, begins to doubt Washington's commitment to defend its allies, then it risks a massive miscalculation.” Indeed, he warns, “You don't have to look far for an example. Two years ago, President Putin's intelligence people told him the West would sit on its hands if he invaded Ukraine. They were wrong—and a catastrophic war has ensued.”

Former President Trump asked the Supreme Court to block a lower court ruling permitting criminal prosecution against him stemming from his bid to subvert the 2020 election results. Trump’s attorneys argued in a 39-page motion that a trial would “radically disrupt” his reelection bid, and that permitting criminal charges against a former president for actions during their term would set a precedent for “such prosecutions [to] reoccur and become increasingly common, ushering in destructive cycles of recrimination. Without immunity from criminal prosecution, the Presidency as we know it will cease to exist.” Anne E. Marimow reports for the Washington Post.

Special counsel Jack Smith asked the Supreme Court yesterday to reject Trump’s application that sought to delay the criminal trial of the former President arising from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. “Delay in the resolution of these charges threatens to frustrate the public interest in a speedy and fair verdict — a compelling interest in every criminal case and one that has unique national importance here,” Smith wrote in his filing.

I hope the link to the NYT article works.
"The Fani Willis hearing in Georgia last week had many sordid details, but lost in the shuffle was perhaps the most important testimony of all: the reason some wouldn't consider the job eventually given to Nathan Wade. "Fani Willis had trouble finding lawyers willing to help prosecute her case against Trump. Even a former Georgia governor turned her down, saying, 'Hypothetically speaking, do you want to have a bodyguard follow you around for the rest of your life?' He wasn’t exaggerating. Willis received an assassination threat so specific that one evening she had to leave her office incognito while a body double wearing a bulletproof vest courageously pretended to be her and offered a target for any possible incoming fire."
