Congressman Answers Whether He Has Any Money For Zelensky.

Republican Congressman from Florida Byron Donalds after Zelensky’s speech at the UN in an interview:

Reporter: “What would you say to Zelensky? He will soon ask Congress for money to stop the war in Ukraine.”

BD: “I would say that firstly, the House of Representatives no longer has money for Ukraine. It’s gone... Moreover, we have a deficit of $2 trillion, so the money that we gave to Ukraine, we ourselves borrowed from our future.

These are the facts.

Secondly, he chose not the best time to arrive, given the internal situation [Biden impeachment]

Thirdly, the whole story with Ukraine is a mistake of the Biden administration. If we had a commander-in-chief who would not sleep at world forums, the situation in Ukraine, and in the world, would be much better."

The voice of the Republican, conservative opposition. And the race factor does not play here.

Dean Obeidallah at The Dean's Report:

Everyone reading this knows that MAGA will try to tamper with the jurors--and even the witnesses—to help Donald Trump in his criminal trial that began Monday in New York. That is why the judge presiding over the case, Juan Merchan, ordered that the names of the prospective jurors be kept anonymous citing "a likelihood of bribery, jury tampering, or of physical injury or harassment of juror(s)."  While Trump’s lawyers will be provided with the potential  juror’s names so they can research them, Judge Merchan’s partial gag order expressly bars Trump from “making or directing others to make public statements about any prospective juror or any juror in this criminal proceeding” as well as witnesses. That is something you would expect in a criminal trial for a mob boss or leader of a terrorist movement.  But then again, Trump is both a mob boss and the leader of domestic terrorist movement as the head of the violent, criminal enterprise known as MAGA.

In fact, Trump has been called the “Teflon Don” after New York mobster John Gotti who escaped criminal convictions in a few high profile cases in the 1980’s.  Those cases are instructive as to what we may see from MAGA in Trump’s current case. In Gotti’s first well-publicized criminal case in 1986, his minions threatened a witness who conveniently got a case of amnesia in the courtroom and was unable to identify Gotti as the man who robbed and assaulted him. Gotti walked. And then in Gotti’s 1987 trial, a person named George Pape was able to get on the jury by withholding information that he was a close friend of someone connected to Gotti.  Once on the jury, Pape was paid $60,000 by a Gotti intermediary to help the mobster beat the case—which Gotti did. Pape was later charged and convicted for crimes in connection with this bribe. In 1992, though, when there was neither jury nor witness tampering, Gotti was convicted of very serious felonies.

Turning to Trump’s case, on Monday we already saw clear evidence that MAGA would attempt to tamper with Trump’s jury to help him. One of the most jarring and overt attempts came from MAGA Rep. Byron Donalds who told viewers Monday on Newsmax to get on the jury and vote to acquit Trump regardless of the evidence. I’m not exaggerating. The Florida Congressman stated, “My plea is to the people of Manhattan that may sit on this trial: Please do the right thing for this country.”  He continued, “Everybody’s allowed to have their political viewpoints, but the law is supposed to be blind and no respecter of persons.” At this point, if Donalds had ended his plea by saying please follow the evidence and be guided accordingly, that would be fine. Instead, this MAGA soldier directly told the people of Manhattan who might be watching: “This is a trash case, there is no crime here, and if there is any potential for a verdict, they should vote not guilty.”

Here is a sitting member of Congress telling people who watch the pro-Trump Newsmax that if they live in Manhattan and are called to be a juror on the case, they should ignore the evidence and vote to acquit Trump. All that was missing was the $60,000 payment that Gotti offered the juror in his case. Then there was Fox News contributor Clay Travis who Monday morning—with the Trump jury selection about to begin—made an even more direct appeal to his more than one million followers on Twitter to ignore the evidence and help Trump.  Travis wrote, “If you’re a Trump supporter in New York City who is a part of the jury pool, do everything you can to get seated on the jury and then refuse to convict as a matter of principle, dooming the case via hung jury. It’s the most patriotic thing you could possibly do.”

Travis—with the line “do everything you can to get seated on the jury” -- was telling prospective jurors to follow the Gotti playbook of withholding vital information from the court of their obvious bias. Then ignore the evidence and cause a hung jury. In response to Travis’s post, Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell—a former prosecutor—tweeted: “Jury tampering. That’s what they do. *It’s a felony.”  And National security attorney Bradley Moss  wrote on social media, “Clay is arguably conspiring to commit jury tampering here by encouraging someone to deliberately engage in jury nullification.” Those two were the most in your face attempts at jury tampering. Others, like MAGA Rep. Elise Stefanik from New York, were more subtle in trying to influence prospective jurors in her home state. On Monday she wrote on Twitter that the judge presiding over the case was “corrupt” and that this was, “A 6-8 week show trial... Total election interference.” This line of attack-- echoed by many Republicans including MAGA Senator JD Vance-- is a more subtle form of jury tampering where these elected officials are intentionally attempting to influence prospective jurors about the case before they see the evidence.

If the republican party really wanted to appeal to The People, they would elect the first black Speaker of the House before dems do it

Not only has Donalds proven himself, he is an inspiration for young black men.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL): “About the growing list of people calling for [George Santos'] resignation, no I have not joined that simply because I don’t think that that’s the job of another member of Congress to say or call for. I think that’s something between him and his voters. He has to deal with that on an individual basis.”

CNN's Victor Blackwell: “Well, I will say that you call for President Biden to resign and 84 million people voted for him.”

Solid journalism, CNN, solid journalism.

She wonders why people don't like her.

'DEPLORABLES' to 'Cult.'

The 🌎 to Hillary:

Byron Donalds: "I stopped caring about what Hillary Clinton had to say a LONG time ago. But since she wants to say I'm in a cult, let me engage. Hillary, you LIED multiple times, deleted emails, destroyed evidence, and laundered phony information on Trump. You did all this and still lost."

Their plans backfired, so Hillary dressed up like a sherpa in 90 degree weather to activate her coven: Demoralize & Divide Americans by referring to them as a cult.
