Cheney: Trump 'does not have a role as the leader of our party going forward'
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the highest ranking House Republican to back former President Trump’s second impeachment, said Sunday that he does “not have a role as the leader of our party going forward.”
“We’re the party of Abraham Lincoln. We’re the party of Ronald Reagan. We have to really take a hard look at who we are and what we stand for and what we believe in,” Cheney said during an interview with host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.”
“I think when you look at both his actions leading up to what happened on January 6th, the fact that he was impeached in a bipartisan fashion, the fact that he lost the presidency, the fact that we lost the Senate, we have to be in a position where we can say we stand for principle, we stand for ideal,” Cheney said.

Since President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on steel and aluminum to help the domestic steel industry on March 20, PCP’s steel costs have jumped 9 percent as the market prices in the tariffs before they even take effect.
Vincent now expects his steel bill for the year to rise $18 million to $20 million, forcing him to choose between taking a potential 75 percent cut to his company’s profits, or pushing the added costs to his retail customers and eventually to consumers - many of whom are lower-income Americans “who can least afford it,” Vincent told Reuters.
Russia just happens to own 10% of steel production in the US. Just saying.

And used National Security as the pretense for the tariffs. An insult to Canada, like we are a US national security threat.

Trump's trade policies were a disgraceful example of what happens when leader who is in over his head, takes actions that are beyond his understanding.

Investigation into Trump hush money paid to Stormy Daniels goes cold (nypost.com)
Fed investigation into Trump hush money paid to Stormy Daniels goes cold
The federal probe into hush money paid during the 2016 campaign to cover up former President Donald Trump’s alleged flings with sex workers Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal appears to have gone cold, according to sources who spoke to the Associated Press and The Post.
Trump is no longer shielded from prosecution by the presidency. Still, the Manhattan-based case that sent his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to prison — which referred to Trump as the “Individual-1” allegedly involved in the payments — is not currently being pursued, multiple law enforcement and legal sources said.
One lawyer went so far as to say that the investigation is “dead,” adding that prosecutors have returned certain collected evidence in the case. Cohen was charged with skirting campaign-contribution rules by arranging six-figure payments to Daniels, a porn star, and McDougal, a former Playboy model, to keep them quiet.
Still, it will live on in the public eye. On Tuesday, Cohen will interview Daniels on his podcast. “I’m not done with his orange ass,” Daniels tweeted Saturday.

OAN ordered to pay $250,000 in Maddow and MSNBC's legal fees (businessinsider.com)
A California judge ordered OAN's parent company to pay $250,000 in Rachel Maddow and MSNBC's legal fees after its failed defamation suit
In July 2019, Herring Networks filed a defamation suit in a San Diego court against Maddow, Comcast, MSNBC, and NBCUniversal Media, arguing the network's primetime anchor made defamatory claims about OAN during a broadcast in which Maddow said that OAN "literally is paid Russian propaganda."
Herring sued MSNBC and Maddow for $10 million after she made the comments during a July 22, 2019, broadcast of "The Rachel Maddow Show." Her claims followed a report from The Daily Beast that reported an employee of the pro-Trump network also worked for the Russian-owned Sputnik News, as The Associated Press previously reported.

"Their on-air US politics reporter is paid by the Russian government to produce propaganda for that government," Maddow said at the time.
Lawyers for MSNBC and Maddow countersued under California's Anti-Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation statute, which allows for defendants to file to strike a motion on the basis that "any act . . . in furtherance of the person's right of petition or free speech under the United States Constitution or the California Constitution in connection with a public issue."
US District Judge Cynthia Bashant last year dismissed Herring Networks lawsuits with prejudice, deciding there were "no set of facts that could support a claim for defamation based on Maddow's statement," according to the report.
Under the anti-SLAPP law, defendants who successfully have their suit tossed out are entitled to have at least a portion of their legal fees used for their defense covered by the party that brought the dismissed suit.
Herring Networks was ordered to pay Maddow and MSNBC's legal fees for about 363 hours of work by lawyers that totaled $247,667.50, according to the report. They were also awarded an additional $10,724 for hours that were billed by paralegals, Law&Crime reported.
"This ruling reflects that One America News' lawsuit is totally baseless, and we expect to continue to prevail on appeal," an MSNBC spokesperson said in a statement following the ruling.
Charles Herring, the president of Herring Networks, told Law&Crime in a statement that it was in the process of appealing the ruling.
"We're pleased that the fees were reduced by nearly a third by the court," he told the outlet. "The case is currently under appeal and we're highly confident that we'll receive a favorable and just ruling in the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit."

Michael Cohen: Does Donald Trump have a 'secret' pardon? | 60 Minutes Australia
He may no longer be President, but Donald Trump can’t stop making headlines. In the next few days he goes on trial in the US Senate charged with inciting his supporters’ rampage on the Capitol building last month. But while the world was shocked by the shameful attack on democracy, Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, wasn’t surprised at all. In fact two years ago he predicted it. Cohen used to be The Donald’s closest ally but ended up an enemy, and in prison, when he took the fall for covering up Trump’s affair with porn star Stormy Daniels. And now, in an extraordinary interview with Tara Brown, filmed while he serves the remainder of his sentence under house arrest in New York, Cohen is happy to spill all of his old boss’s dirty secrets.

Stormy reflecting on getting “ micro boned “ by the Orange Bozo .... ( hold your lunch )
Of Lake Tahoe in 2006, Daniels also told Cohen she now remembered thinking, ‘Oh fuck, how do I get myself in this situation. And I remember even thinking I could definitely fight his fat ass, I can definitely outrun him. There’s a bodyguard at the door. But I wasn’t threatened, I was not physically threatened.
“And then so I tried to sidestep … I was like, trying to remember really quickly, where did I leave my purse, like I gotta get out of here. And I went to sidestep and he stood up off the bed and was like ‘This is your chance.’ And I was like, ‘What?’ and he was like, ‘
Daniels has said Trump told her he would get her a slot on The Apprentice, the reality TV show for which he was then most famous. At the time of the alleged encounter, Trump’s third wife, Melania Trump, had recently given birth to their son, Barron.
Daniels told Cohen she went to the bathroom, then “was genuinely like startled to see him waiting” when she came out.
“I just froze,” she said, “and I didn’t know what to say. He had stripped down to his underwear and was perched on the bed doing his best yet horrifyingly disturbing impression of Burt Reynolds.”
