Trump files a lawsuit to block his subpoena, arguing that Congress does not have the authority to force a former president to give evidence.
Yet a couple of weeks ago he said he had no problem with it.

Think his presser is still going ahead on Tuesday so that should be interesting.

I misheard that. He's not arguing they don't have the authority to subpoena a "former" president - just a president!

He's forgotten that he's no longer president. :lol:

Another good 2024 bet is Youngkin, you can still get 100/1 on B365

He’s been heavily campaigning for other candidates, Trump is attacking him, good public speaker, is centre right and you only get 1 term in VA as governor so if he wants to run for President this is probably his only chance

Whitmer on the Dem side as same price looks good also

Trump out from 1.8 to 3.45 for GOP nominee, if he announces a run tonight it could be the last time to lay him

Deluded Donald claims when the pandemic struck he took decisive action and saved many lives. :lol:

I think the Mid Term results indicate that the US might be moving on from Trump. At least I hope so

I heard a suggestion that Deluded Donald is only running because he made an announcement that he's going to make an announcement on Tuesday in anticipation of a successful midterm, so it's too late to go back.

It was very low energy wasn't it! He keeps saying the same stuff, that worked in 2016 when no one had seen anything like it, now he just looks deluded.

So now the US (and due to the US global influence the rest of us) is at the mercy of a tiny minority of defectors (from either side on any issue) but essentially political paralysis,

52% of Twitter users are genuine twits. That's how many want to see Trump's vile postings continue from a survey of 14 million.

I voted 'yes' because I know its detrimental for him, if he spouts what he has on Truth Social he'll look like a nutter

Looking like a nutter hasn't prevented people from voting for him in the past
