Rudy Giuliani TURNS on Trump's Lunatic Lawyer
Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s television attorney, has once again distanced himself from fellow Trump lawyer Sidney Powell. Several weeks ago, after Powell made baseless claims about voting machines and dead Venezuelan dictators, the Trump legal team said that Powell was no longer with them and practicing law in her own capacity. But the “Kraken” has returned and has been spending a lot of time in the White House trying to convince Trump to declare martial law and seize the voting machines in contested swing states. Trump has even considered naming her White House special counsel in order to investigate claims of voter fraud.
Despite Powell’s resurgence, Giuliani is keeping his distance because she’s apparently too crazy even for him. Rudy went on Sean Spicer’s Newsmax show yesterday and said “Sidney Powell is not part of our legal team, she hasn't been for 5 weeks, she is not a special counsel for the president, she does not speak for the president, nor does she speak for the administration. She speaks for herself.” Giuliani went on to hint that Powell’s claims went outside “the bounds of rationality, common sense, and the law.” When Rudy Giuliani thinks someone is too crazy to be taken seriously, you know that person is absolutely out of their mind.
Trump's CRINGE Phone Call to Sycophant Rally
Donald Trump has been doing basically nothing but rage tweet ever since losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden. However, sometimes he takes exception to call in to right-wing programs and conservative events. Yesterday, Trump called in to the Student Action Summit run by Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA. When Kirk was giving his speech, he got interrupted by someone eagerly running over to him and handing over a cellphone. On the phone, was none other than Donald Trump, and the crowd erupted in applause.
The remarks Trump gave were just his standard post-election talking points. Trump said “we won this election in a landslide” and that “the problem is we need a party that’s going to fight.” Trump then called on the courts to step up to the task of overturning the election results, even though no court so far has shown any interest in doing that. Trump wrapped up the 90-second phone call by praising Charlie Kirk for the work he’s done. The non-socially distanced audience loved every minute of it. Sadly, this type of stuff works on people. This MAGA cult is just truly bizarre.
From yesterday’s show:
COVID Stimulus #2: You're Getting $600! (Maybe)
Congress has finally reached an agreement on a second stimulus package for coronavirus relief. Sadly, it’s mostly too little too late, because the $900 billion is not going to be enough to help people through the current crisis or even provide retroactive assistance. The bill includes $600 direct payments for adults earning up to $75,000 per year. Federally boosted unemployment insurance will return, providing those on the program with $300 per week for eleven weeks. The Paycheck Protection Program is starting up again there will be an additional $284 billion for businesses. There will also be funds appropriated for coronavirus testing and tracing.

Ashley Wilkes
First of all I do not know why there is a depiction of me as a female when I am not. Just had to make that clear.
I hate to inform you, Shelley, but David Pakman’s does not read these comments and if he ever did he would never respond either on this forum or on his show. As you probably know this is just a “teaser“ to get people to subscribe to his channel. David is not nearly as intelligent or lucid as he believes he is. Being twice his age I can’t help but see it. I’m 75 years old and was a conscientious objector during the Vietnam war and also a full-fledged yippee. I see David Pakman as arrogant and immature. I switched from David Pakman’s show to The Young Turks. Which is a much more comprehensive and multifaceted independent media outlet with the largest subscribership of any independent media outlet in the world. 20 million subscribers. David Packman is a glory seeker. The TYT anchors and production crew are not. Pakman recently had the “honor“ of being a guest on TYT‘s Conversation. I would like to see Pakman have either CENK UYGER or Anna Kasperian as guests on his show. I can’t think of a question that he would ask either one of them that wouldn’t be redundant. Just keeping it real.

Hi Ashley. Oh, well maybe that is something he can develop as people respond. He brings up great ideas that provoke excellent conversations. I don't have an expectation from David. I simply want to keep engaged with the topics. I think it would be difficult to keep track of so many portals of content without compromising time to research the topics and create such insightful work. Thanks for the feedback...warm regards...
