The crux of this is Trump's original pleading in reply to the prosecution was based on supposed factual statements. Since the original pleading, it's been shown that those statements were bullshit. Trump wants the court to allow them to replead to the correct set of facts or have the court simply dismiss the case.Google was my friend
Demur (or demurrer) refers to making a pleading that challenges the sufficiency or adequacy of pleadings of another party. Demurrers typically come in two forms: general and specific.
In ruling on a demurrer, a court accepts the factual assertions of the moving party as true. A demurrer does not challenge the truthfulness of facts in a pleading. If a demurrer is granted by the court, the case may be dismissed or the moving party may be given time to amend the pleading depending on the circumstances.
- A general demurrer challenges a broader problem with a pleading that affects all of the claims brought, such as improper venue.
- A specific demurrer objects to a particular problem with the details of a pleading, most commonly the failure to claim sufficient facts for a cause of action.
The court is in DC so I expect the case to not be dismissed and the court rejects Trump's demur request.

From another board.
The Dems are scum and play dirty for sure.
Al Green kept hidden till Mayorkas Vote
Republicans knew the number of people voting in the House yesterday. Knew they had a 1 vote margin on the impeachment vote. There was a previous bill voted on that was 427 - 2. So 429 members at the house for the Mayorkas vote. So they bring forth the impeachment vote and boom, here comes Al Green in a wheelchair and hospital gown at the last minute to tie the vote.The Dems are scum and play dirty for sure.
Al Green leaves hospital to cast vote against Alejandro Mayorkas impeachment
Al Green wore hospital garb as he cast his decisive ballot that killed the impeachment measure.

Application for Stay as if it is a Cert Petition, and agree to either take up the case or not take up the case.
That will accelerate the timeline for getting the case back to the District Court for purposes of trial.
It will also put pressure on SCOTUS to hear the case either before the end of the current session in June -- potentially even to set it on a much accelerated time frame over the next 4-6 weeks.
It is really a gamble by Smith and the Court panel that there are now 5 votes on SCOTUS who want to see a Trump trial prior to the Nov. election, and those 5 votes will act to make that happen, i.e., they already plan to deny the immunity claim, so the faster that can happen, the better.
If there are not 5 votes on SCOTUS now, then SCO Smith and the Appeals Court are trying to smoke that out too.
I'm just not convinced there are 5 Justices who want to be drawn into the calendar machinations that the lower court participants want them to engage in. The more defensible position if they want to remain above the fray is simply treat the case as they would any other -- handle it all with normal scheduling.

Tucker Carlson’s exclusive interview with Vladimir Putin in Moscow – Full transcript :
TUCKER: What would you say to the people who run America?
PUTIN: Our message is that Russia is not your enemy. We don’t want a war. We are ready for peace. Your leaders are looking for conflict. That’s not what we want. Russia is defending its own people. We don’t want what doesn’t belong to us.
TUCKER: Would you like to visit Washington?
PUTIN: Yes, of course. I have already been to the United States. I like to visit and I have met all the presidents except Joe Biden. If I was invited, I would go. Yes.
TUCKER: What is your opinion on President Biden?
PUTIN: We are convinced that he is not leading the country. Let’s say that we have good sources that confirm this, but it is obvious that everyone can see for themselves. The United States has now entered a dark period. His leadership has no accountability.
TUCKER: Do you think Joe Biden won fairly?
PUTIN: I would prefer not to get into American domestic politics, but I will say that my embassy reported that your southern border was better managed than the 2020 elections. (laughs)
TUCKER: A poll conducted in the United States shows you to be more popular than Biden – any reaction?
PUTIN: (laughs) I don’t know if this should be taken seriously, but Russian ideals have support. We believe in traditional values; marriage is between a man and a woman: men are men and women are women.
TUCKER: Who would you like to see as the next President of the United States?
PUTIN: Again, it is not for us to say this or to get involved. Contrary to long-standing accusations, we do not meddle in your elections. We don’t need it, because it’s the same people who end up running things anyway.
TUCKER: Why did you invade Ukraine?
PUTIN: Have we invaded or have we been invaded? Look at the story. Look at the people who live there. Historically, we are the ones who have been invaded and are only fighting back now. The lands and the people are Russian and we will find what has always been ours.
TUCKER: How would you feel, mdr, if Trump won again?
PUTIN: We had good relations when Mr. Trump was president. There was no war. Our relations were at a climax. That said, nothing is predictable and the statistics are the same. We’ll have to see.
TUCKER: What do you think of Mr. Zelensky and what would be your message to him?
PUTIN: I remember laughing at his jokes when he was a comedian in Russia. Let’s get back to the laughs.

TUCKER: Why is that?
PUTIN: There are strong financial entities that have an interest in keeping us as adversaries. One of your presidents warned against this. We Russians don’t have this problem.
TUCKER: Do you consider the United States an enemy?
PUTIN: No. Categorically no. We were allies during the Second World War. The Russians helped to colonize Alaska, California, and we were also in Hawaii. Our people are not an enemy, but those in Washington are certainly not our friends.
TUCKER: Can you be more specific and name names?
PUTIN: It would be useless. It’s not up to us to solve your domestic problems. Besides, I’m sure you know the names better than we do.
TUCKER: So, are you saying that your opponent is not Joe Biden but the people behind him?
PUTIN: Exactly. Joe Biden may not even be aware of what’s going on. He may not understand the level of sanctions imposed on Russia. Who set up these sanctions? These are our opponents.
TUCKER: Is that why you defend the BRICS?
PUTIN: The BRICS would exist anyway. This is a natural reaction to the Western trading bloc. It’s a counterweight. When the dollar is used as a weapon against the states, there will be a natural alternative. That’s what we want.
TUCKER: Is that why you and Russia were targeted?
PUTIN: It’s more complicated than that, but I’m sure that explains a lot of this situation. Whenever the dollar is in danger, the United States takes extreme measures. She cannot afford to see the dollar fall.
TUCKER: But isn’t Russia weaker and more economically vulnerable than the United States?
PUTIN: If we consider the size of the economies, we are small. But few people take into account our vast natural resources. Russia has more than $80,000 billion underground. No country comes close to us.
TUCKER: What is your opinion on President Biden?
PUTIN: We are convinced that he is not leading the country. Let’s say that we have good sources that confirm this, but it is obvious that everyone can see for themselves. The United States has now entered a dark period. His leadership has no accountability.
TUKER: All right. That’s understood, but don’t you have the same problems in Russia?
PUTIN: Yes. To a degree. But in Russia, these interests more closely correspond to the thinking of the average Russian on the street. In the United States, this is not the case. The elites have abandoned you.
TUCKER: So, who do you think is running the United States?
PUTIN: The forces that have always led him. You can change the president, but you don’t change those who hold the real power. This is what we have to face. Joe Biden is just a facade for this power structure.
TUCKER: Let’s get to the politics. What is your opinion on President Biden?

TUCKER: But there have been persistent reports that you have cancer?
PUTIN: I assure you that these rumors are false. if I had cancer and I beat it, I would share the good news and the cure with the world.
TUCKER: Thank you for sitting down with us. How is your health? There have been rumors
PUTIN: I am glad to speak with you and, through you, with the American people. It’s all right with me. I feel good. Considering my age, I’m healthier, but it’s father time.
TUCKER: When you say that some people fear him, do you mean that Musk has enemies?
PUTIN: It is clear that he has enemies in the United States – the way he was stripped of $50 billion in assets – we would call that special treatment. This is unfair on the face of it.
TUCKER: Weren’t you afraid of Musk when he started supplying Starlink equipment to Ukraine?
PUTIN: If someone seriously thinks that a few Internet antennas can defeat the power of Russia, well, what can I say? But no, we neither feared nor blamed Mr. Musk. The government did not leave him much choice.
TUCKER: A lot has changed in the world. What is your opinion on Elon Musk?
PUTIN: We consider Mr. Musk to be a businessman – very successful. He has built a great fortune and a huge following. He is a unique thinker with a strength of personality that cannot be bought. Some people fear it.
TUCKER: Do you have any advice for Elon?
PUTIN: I would say to continue. Don’t be intimidated. But if things ever get too difficult, there is Russia. We would be happy to open our doors to you. We have already welcomed American businessmen and would appreciate someone of Mr. Musk’s caliber.
TUCKER: Let’s turn to Trump. First tell me what you think about the current situation with the probability that he will be re-elected?
PUTIN: That would be a bit strange and out of place, but we are well prepared. He promised to end the fighting in Ukraine and we support this idea.
TUCKER: How could he end the war so quickly?
PUTIN: On the one hand, he never insulted us. He has great respect for Russia. We would start from a position of friendship and trust – then all problems can be solved. We could do it. Trust me.
TUCKER: Are you referring to Biden calling you a killer?
PUTIN: We have been the target of many insults and insults dating back several generations of politicians. Mr. Trump made for a refreshing break. It is very popular in Russia. Maybe it won’t do him any good.
TUCKER: Are you in communication with Trump?
PUTIN: No. Of course not. But if he won again, our lines of communication would open instantly, whereas at the moment we have no dialogue with President Biden.
TUCKER: It shocks me. Has no one from the White House been in contact with you?
PUTIN: The same forces that have always led him. You can change the president, but you don’t change those who hold the real power. This is what we have to face. Joe Biden is just a facade for this power structure.

PUTIN: That’s right. No one has called since we congratulated Mr. Biden on his election victory. We are surprised that communications are colder today than during the Cold War.
TUCKER: How do you think the 2024 elections will turn out?
PUTIN: We are just observing. It is our responsibility to be vigilant because it will have an impact on the world. We hope that the elections will be held in such a way that the results are credible. In Russia, we do not send ballots by mail.
TUCKER: Let’s turn to China. How is your relationship?
PUTIN: President Xi and I are particularly close. Russia and China now have good relations, which is an obvious asset for us since they are one of our largest energy partners. We will continue to be friends.
TUCKER: Some accuse China of helping you in the war in Ukraine. Is this true?
PUTIN: This is not something I can discuss. Let’s just say that Russia is not an isolated power. This strategy has failed. We now have more allies and business partners than before the war began.
TUCKER: Have you ever considered a situation in which Russia and China could join forces against the United States?
PUTIN: Do you mean economically or militarily? I would say that we don’t want either of them. It is not in our interests to come into conflict with the United States, because all sides would lose in such a conflict.
TUCKER: Speaking of conflicts, what is your point of view on the situation in Gaza?
PUTIN: It’s a real shame. The Palestinians are devastated. Israel acts without coercion. It shows the terrible double standards that exist in the world. Where are the sanctions against Israel?
TUCKER: Is Russia involved in any way, including through your alliance with Iran?
PUTIN: No. Of course not. We are not opposed to the existence of Israel, but at the same time we support the Palestinians’ right to self-determination. We want to be fair.
TUCKER: Are you following what’s going on at the southern border of the United States?
PUTIN: Actually, yes. This is part of my daily briefing. We Russians find it ironically amusing that your Congress spends billions protecting foreign borders while neglecting its own. It’s quite laughable but deadly.
TUCKER: Deadly? What do you mean by that?
PUTIN: Very serious, of course. People die every day crossing your border in an uncontrolled way. It’s a general melee. The world has not seen anything like this in the modern era – it is unwise for a country to open up like this.
TUCKER: Is Russia somehow taking advantage of the border situation?
PUTIN: No. Why should we do it. We don’t have to do anything. America is self-destructing. And as Napoleon said, do not prevent your enemy from destroying himself.
TUCKER: So you see America as an enemy?
PUTIN: It was just a saying, but the current administration is definitely not a friend.
TUCKER: Can that be changed?
PUTIN: That’s why there are elections.
TUCKER: Thank you again for continuing to engage with me on so many different topics. Can we become even more interesting so to speak?
PUTIN: Of course. I am open to most subjects.
TUCKER: Let’s talk about climate change. This idea continues to be encouraged in the United States and Europe. What is your position?
PUTIN: Humanity is not even a type 1 civilization on the scale of Kardashev. If we cannot exploit the energy potential of the planet, how can we control the climate?
TUCKER: How do you think the 2024 elections will turn out?
PUTIN: We are just observing. It is our responsibility to be vigilant because it will have an impact on the world. We hope that the elections will be held in such a way that the results are credible. In Russia, we do not send ballots by mail.

PUTIN: Humanity is not even a type 1 civilization on the scale of Kardashev. If we cannot exploit the energy potential of the planet, how can we control the climate?
TUCKER: Are you at least worried?
PUTIN: I am more concerned about the real problems. Climate change is not one of them. The Earth is quite successful in self-regulating. And if Siberia warms up a little, all the better. More agricultural land for Russia.
TUCKER: But what would you say to the true believers who are convinced that we are heading for disaster?
PUTIN: I would tell them that worrying about climate change is like complaining about the weather. If you don’t like the climate, move. If you are worried about the weather, get an umbrella.
TUCKER: In that sense, how do you see the transgender movement?
PUTIN: I find it interesting that everything that was once the target of blackmail is now a badge of honor. In Russia, there are no laws in all cases, but we certainly do not force our children to do this.
TUCKER: Russia has been criticized for its anti-gay laws and as being hostile to LGBTQ+.
PUTIN: We have laws that protect our children. And we don’t drape our embassies in rainbow flags. That’s correct. Otherwise, we do not intervene in the private lives of adult citizens.
TUCKER: Do you follow American sports? We are about to have the Super Bowl.
PUTIN: Actually, yes. Russia is a great sports nation. We have hosted the Winter Olympic Games and the World Cup quite recently. We all love sports.
TUCKER: What do you think about American football?
PUTIN: It’s an interesting sport. But why is it called football when the ball is almost always played with the hands? It also sometimes seems unnecessarily violent.
TUCKER: That’s right. Will you look?
PUTIN: The game will not be broadcast in Russia.
TUCKER: So you won’t get to see Taylor Swift either?
PUTIN: No. We got a reprieve.
TUCKER: Thank you President Putin for your time.

was the fear that concern for later civil lawsuits/liability could impact POTUS decision-making on controversial issues. The unique nature of the office was a significant part of factoring in that concern.That was an issue raised by Trump. If Obama thought "I could get indicted for murder if I do this," would he still have ordered the drone strike on a US citizen abroad?" In yesterday's opinion the DC Court panel just waved this issue off with very little meaningful consideration. It is a problem and they did not have a meaningful response -- not one that came close to distinguishing why that issue was a fundamental part of Nixon, but not one that was of significant consequence here. I believe that 4 Justices of the Supreme Court will want that issue explored much further than was done by the Appeals Court. There may not be a 5th vote to be had.But it only takes 4 votes to accept Cert. I also suspect that Trump will file for en banc review. I'm almost certain the full court will not vote to take the case en banc, but I think you will see a dissenting opinion from that decision issued by the three Trump appointees on the Court that will, in effect, frame both sides for SCOTUS ahead of a decision whether to grant Cert.

I think when he returned to the room where he found it, everything was gone. I think he said angels moved them.
I believe he found the actual Ark. His drawing had the angels wings on the mercy seat different from any picture or drawing I've seen. The mercy seat is the actual throne Christ will rule from in the millennial. His drawing had the wings situated like a chair.

I have a friend's wife who had Mel Brooks sit next to her in Vegas at a bar. During their conversation, Brooks said he could not make this again in today's environment.

Hit them in the pocketbook. It's the only thing that gets their attention. Eventually their insurance company will object to paying judgments or they will jack their premiums/cancel the policy. Either way it becomes quite costly. Notice the WaPo has apparently learned after paying millions.

I would be very surprised if that really is a word for word transcription.
