There isn’t a show out right now that’s more offensive than Good Times: Black Again — Netflix’s new animated series reboot of the 1970s classic sitcom Good Times — and that’s saying a lot considering Zeus Network is still actively in business and cranking out almost exclusively aggressive and exploitative content, like the reality TV franchise Baddies. After the Good Times reboot trailer dropped, immediate backlash ensued. If the conversation on X (formerly Twitter) was any indication, most...
Many of Donald Trump’s endorsements are easy to overlook. The former president finds sycophantic allies and publishes cookie-cutter statements of support — occasionally for Republicans who face little opposition. But a few of his endorsements stand out for reasons that aren’t immediately obvious. NBC News reported this week, for example: Revisiting our earlier coverage, when Trump was impeached for his role in the Jan. 6 attack, it resulted in the most bipartisan impeachment vote in American...
District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump was always weak if not meritless. But that didn’t stop him from pursuing a felony case for a low-level misdemeanor that normally would have resulted in a fine that was also past the statute of limitations.
Alvin Bragg Has His Trump Trial, All He Needs Now Is A Crime Authored by Jonathan Turley, Below is an expanded version of my column in the New York Post on the start of the Trump trial and much awaited explanation of District Attorney Alvin Bragg on the underlying alleged criminal conduct. The curious aspect of the case is that the prosecutors are stressing that they will prove largely uncontested facts. Indeed, if all of these facts of payments, non-disclosure agreements, and...
We’ve never seen a case like this one where a dead misdemeanor from 2016 could be revived as a felony just before the 2024 election
It’s been another big legal week for Donald Trump. His first criminal trial kicked off in New York, and his Supreme Court immunity hearing just took place in Washington. He also made a legal cameo in Arizona, as an unindicted alleged co-conspirator in a new indictment stemming from efforts to subvert the 2020 presidential election. Major figures in Trump world, such as Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, are charged in the state indictment, along with so-called fake electors. But why isn’t Trump...
Alvin Bragg is to be commended for getting to trial on the Trump hush-payments case.
Donald Trump sat in court Monday as jury selection began in his criminal hush money trial, which Mark Levin believes is legally frail and should have been “dismissed immediately.” The former president is the first in U.S. history to go on trial for criminal charges, and is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in order to influence the 2016 election. Levin calls this case a “non-disclosure agreement case.” But that doesn’t matter to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin...
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's evidence against former President Donald Trump in his criminal hush money trial is "truly insane," according to legal analyst Jonathan Turley on Saturday.Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, became the first former president in U.S. history to stand trial in a criminal case earlier this month. Following an investigation by Bragg's office, Trump was indicted in March 2023 on charges of falsifying business records relating to hush...
Fox News host Laura Ingraham says media personalities are getting "nervous" as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case against former President Trump isn't turning out "exactly as they hoped" Friday on "The Ingraham Angle." TRUMP SUGGESTS WHITE HOUSE AS VENUE FOR DEBATE WITH BIDEN: 'WOULD BE VERY COMFORTABLE' LAURA INGRAHAM: Dead dogs can't bark. But from day one of this ludicrous case against Trump, the Manhattan D.A. has been pounding on the canine corpse, trying desperately to...
Fox News host Laura Ingraham breaks down jury selection in the Trump New York hush money case on "The Ingraham Angle," saying the prosecution seems "intent on inflicting harm" against the former president. LAURA INGRAHAM: Together, the names Bragg & Merchan sound like a slip-and-fall firm. You know, the kind that lives off filing personal injury claims, workers' comp cases against alleged wrongdoers, but what we're learning today shows us that Bragg and Merchan should be the ones on the...
Donald Trump’s pretrial screeds against Alvin Bragg were filled with coded language that makes clear that this trial isn't just about the question of the former president's culpability. Trump, who’s accused Manhattan’s first Black district attorney of being “racist” against him, has called Bragg “lazy” and repeated false claims that he has refused to prosecute violent crime. Both of these insults — alleged laziness and indifference to violence — have commonly been deployed by racists throughout...
