Speaker Johnson says congress will try to interfere with Trump's legal cases....

I have not been near a TV this morning but is is astounding--almost unbelievable
That a speaker of the House would say they would interfere in criminal cases like this!!





@Acyn
Johnson: President Trump has done nothing wrong… it has to stop and you’re going to see the Congress address this in every possible way because we need accountability. All these cases need to be dropped because they are a threat to our entire system

@ChidiNwatu
Holding someone accountable for their crimes is not a threat to our entire system. Despite Congress's lack of authority to halt these cases, it's still okay for Johnson to be wishful.

Looks like the witness today is STORMY DANIELS, and Trump has deleted this post below...........

I suspect Trumps lawyers told trumpy long ago that Stormy
will be testifying and did not like being blamed for "just finding out" IMHO

'Uhhhhhh': Matt Gaetz mocked for saying he's never been accused of wrongdoing

What a stupid thing for Gaetz to say!




'Uhhhhhh': Matt Gaetz mocked for saying he's never been accused of wrongdoing

https://www.alternet.org/matt-gaetz-mocked/


May 07, 2024


Rep. Matt Gaetz Monday claimed no human being has ever accused him of wrongdoing and faced almost immediate mockery on social media.

Gaetz was responding to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's claim that the Florida Republican had him removed to stymie an House Ethics Committee probe into allegations Gaetz had sex with a 17-year-old girl.

"There's not a single human being who has publicly accused me of any wrongdoing of any kind," Gaetz said. "At what point after these things have been said about me, for years and years, and not a single person has even accused me of wrongdoing, does this sort of become a strange urban legend?"


......................

"To be fair," replied X user ProLib, "Matt Gaetz doesn't see females as human."

.................


X user Lonnie Hammack suggested the comment showed Gaetz was unaware of Trump-era White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson's claim that he once stroked her chin and asked “has anyone ever told you you’re a national treasure?”

"Apparently Gaetz hasn't ready Cassidy Hutchison's book," he said......

Jesse Watters Confronts Kristi Noem on Dog Shooting Tale: 'Do You Understand Why People Don't Like That Story?'

Her book was due out today.


Watters: Did you meet Kim Jong un?

Noem: I’ve been to North Korea. I’ve been to the DMZ

Watters: You didn’t have a conversation with him at the DMZ

Noem: I don’t have conversations about my conversations

...........................
..................Appearing on Jesse Watters Primetime, Noem defended her actions.

“What happens if you are debating Kamala Harris and she says, ‘Well, wait a second, you shot your dog and you wrote a book about it, bragging about it. How can you be vice president?'” Watters asked.

“That story was a choice as a mom,” she replied. “The safety of my children versus a dangerous dog that was killing livestock and attacking people. So, this book that I’ve written is full of stories of my past, hard decisions. And I told the truth.”

“Do you regret telling that story?” he pressed. “Do you understand why people don’t like that story?”

The governor curiously replied by saying “everybody” knew about her executing a dog, a statement that appears to be undercut by the shock and horror her story has garnered.

“Everybody’s known that story for years,” she insisted. ................................






Notice how much worse the dog gets every time she talks about him😒.
Just going bigger & bigger with her lies.

@JoyceWhiteVance This case was set for trial on May 20, which obviously won't happen. It should have been ready

@JoyceWhiteVance
This case was set for trial on May 20, which obviously won't happen. It should have been ready to try by the end of last year. Extending the 5(a) deadlines indefinitely is the same thing as giving Trump an indefinite trial delay.

Media: UK Defense Ministry hit by cyberattack from China-linked hackers

Source: kyivindependent.com



May 7, 2024 9:25 AM 2


The U.K. Defense Ministry was struck by a cyberattack likely carried out by Chinese hackers, Sky News reported on May 7.

Chinese and Russian-linked hacking groups have been accused of launching cyberattacks on a number of European governments and institutions, such as the U.K.'s Sellafield nuclear waste site.

The latest cyberattack was reportedly directly attributed to the Chinese state, according to Sky News. It targeted the payroll system of defense ministry employees and resulted in the breach of an unspecified amount of personal data.

"This is yet another example of why the U.K. government must admit that China poses a systemic threat to the U.K. and change the integrated review to reflect that," said lawmaker Iain Duncan Smith in comments to Sky News.

"No more pretense, it is a malign actor, supporting Russia with money and military equipment, working with Iran and North Korea in a new axis of totalitarian states," he added.
