[MSN] The convicted celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti has been granted temporary freedom from a New York City jail by a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, federal judge who said the spread of the novel coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... was a compelling reason to release him.
In an order late on Friday, U.S. District Judge James Selna said Avenatti, who represented adult film actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against U.S. President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... , may stay at a friend's home during the 90-day release period.
Avenatti, 49, must first be quarantined for 14 days at a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility, to ensure he does not have the coronavirus or symptoms, before moving to the home of Jay Manheimer in Venice, California.
Selna, who has called Avenatti a "danger to the community," said the lawyer would wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, have no internet access, and except for health emergencies be unable to leave Manheimer's home without permission. Bond was set at $1 million.
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Judge Justin Walker on Saturday granted a temporary restraining order against Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer’s drive-in church ban on behalf of On Fire Christian Church.
Mayor Fischer doesn’t want churches to host drive-in Easter services because somehow people parked in their cars with their windows rolled up risk spreading the Coronavirus. These little crisis fascists need to be stripped from power
The First Amendment is under siege right now and Christians across the US are being heavily persecuted by crazed government officials.

Haven't been in drive-in (movie) in decades - but, don't you have to roll your windows down to hear what's said?

Low power FCC rules. Basically you are talking about a duel. Could be fun. Also, if you can sit on a hill and see the screen, you can take a transistor radio and get the soundtrack too.

Since emerging as a Democratic political juggernaut, Ocasio-Cortez has faced scrutiny for living a lavish lifestyle while posturing as a champion of the working class.
Recall that AOC said shortly after getting elected: Congressman's Lament: $174,000 Isn't Enough To Make Ends Meet.
I guess she has figured out the Dem Washington corruption game?
[HotAir] As you may recall, Baltimore’s corrupt former mayor, Catherine Pugh, was sentenced to three years in the slammer for her "Healthy Holly" self-dealing fiasco in February. In addition, she is to follow that up with three years of supervised probation and some hefty fines to partially repay the citizens for the money she siphoned out of the system and the taxes she dodged. But her journey to a medium-security penitentiary in Aliceville, Alabama has now been put on hold for at least two months. The reason? I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count. (CBS Baltimore)
Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh was granted a 60-day extension for the date that she must report to prison in Alabama.
Pugh, who pleaded guilty to tax evasion and fraud in the Healthy Holly children’s book scandal, asked for the delay so that she can "resolve" her state perjury charge as the coronavirus pandemic has led to the closure of courts...
Pugh had asked for another delay because she’s been "adversely affected" by the COVID-19 pandemic. Her perjury court date was moved to May 14.
So the reason for her late arrival at the Crowbar Hotel is, of course... the virus. As hard as I try to find interesting stories for our readers that aren’t focused on the damned pandemic, it seems to seep into everything. But in this case, Pugh isn’t getting a reprieve because the court is afraid she’ll become infected. Instead, she claims to need the extra time because the courts are barely functioning due to social distancing rules. She still has yet another trial coming up, this one for perjury, but it’s been pushed back on the calendar.

I wouldn't bet against it, g(r)om - I was going to say either a vastly reduced sentence or 'home confinement' for some stretch. Still, it's fairly predictable stuff.
[IOTWReport] This article is from April 4th. Has anyone else come forward since then? Tara Reade, victim of Joe "Badfinger" Biden, filed a criminal police complaint this week
Yahoo!: A total of seven women have come forward with accusations of inappropriate behavior, with three of them speaking out after former Vice President Joe Biden responded to the previous allegations in a video posted to Twitter Wednesday.
Sitting cross-legged in a leather seat, Biden didn’t offer an apology but addressed the "gestures of support and encouragement that I’ve made to women and some men that have made them uncomfortable."

Why do all the women look incredibly pleased in the pictures then ? They're the sort of women who will gladly associate with democrat filth, and let these leches grope them; while courting admiration from Leftists by rudely refusing White House invitations and talking trash about Trump. The Left can do what it wants with its women.

More like "I better grin and bear it or my { husband | daughter | mother | father | career } will be ruined by this politically powerful man.".
Remember, at the time Groper Joe exerted a *lot* of power over them.
One wonders what he would do off-camera. Doesn't one of the complains cites him putting his hand down her pants or something? A little more serious than a 'hug'.
[BigLeaguePolitics] Is this a conspiracy theory or insider information?
Briahna Joy Gray, who was the press chief for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign before he bowed out after several disappointing primary appearances, believes that former Vice President Joe Biden will not last until November’s general election.
"Bernie was too kind to go after Biden, but it’s coming," she wrote in a tweet responding to a clip of Fox News host Tucker Carlson questioning Biden’s mental fitness.
"Either Dem leadership cares more about maintaining a corporate status quo than getting rid of Trump, or they’re planning to replace Joe — adopting a pretty fast and loose relationship with representative Democracy. Lose lose," she added.
Trending: Trump Administration Opposes Bill Gates’ Vaccine Tracking System on ’Personal Liberty’ Grounds
Gray is echoing a theory that has been floated by Carlson himself. He does not think that Biden will last until November, and he is merely a placeholder to keep Sanders from taking the nomination.
"I sincerely and totally believe that Joe Biden will not be the Democratic nominee on election day," Carlson said last month on his eponymous prime-time program.
"He shouldn’t be working still. I’m not being mean. I know him. I’ve always liked him. But that’s true. And so, those are two trains traveling toward each other at high speed. Two competing imperatives. We’ve got to win, but we’ve got a guy who can’t win. Therefore, they’re gonna replace him. If I had to bet I would think Andrew Cuomo would be the most likely to replace Biden," he added.
Big League Politics has reported extensively on Biden’s flubs, which have ranged from comedic to depressing:
Former Vice President Joe Biden has emerged as the front-runner for the Democrat presidential nomination, despite the fact that his mental faculties are rapidly waning at a frightening pace.
Biden has been largely silent during the coronavirus pandemic, but he finally came out of the shadows this week for a media junket as he attempts to criticize President Donald Trump for his response to the crisis. The results were not pretty, as Biden struggled to put basic thoughts together under light questioning.
On Sunday, Biden released a prepared statement in which he made mistakes while attempting to read words from a teleprompter.
Biden appeared on ABC’s "The View" on Monday where he said things about the coronavirus pandemic that made no sense.
"We have to take care of the cure. That will make the problem worse no matter what. No matter what. We know what has to be done," Biden said, struggling to maintain coherency...
He was even less lucid during an appearance on MSNBC as host Nicole Wallace attempted to act like nothing was wrong with Biden completely losing his train of thought.
"I tell you what. I’m so darn proud of those poor people who, of, lost, anyway," Biden said while moaning in an exacerbated manner.
Gray could be onto something. The Democrats may be preparing to discard Biden in a display of callous and grotesque elder abuse.

The more contrived it looks, the more it will turn off left leaning independents and probably a lot of voters who actually - please don't laugh - like Biden.

Biden will "fall out" eventually. When the MSM hit pieces on him start ramping up, that'll be the sign that he is out.

I'm wondering if the verifiable sexual assault accuser was let loose at the perfect time. Force 'ol dazed plugs out of the race and let someone else in.
#9
The sexual assault charges are a DNC trick, not a GUP trick. They are doing it to themselves and I agree with Ms Gray. But the question is Who? Who will stand up? We know the dems could care less about truth, integrity, and their constituatants. We will wait and see who they name as VP and how it goes before Biden falls out.

If Trump can be tarnished with a post Wuhan Flu blame montage the Wookie May emerge. If not, they wait and some loser like Harris or the Tank gets loaded on the dem titanic.
[FOXNEWS] Sen. Dianne Feinstein ...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator.... , D-Calif., has urged President Trump to reverse a reported plan to block an Iranian request to the IMF for $5 billion in aid to fight the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... crisis -- saying it is in the U.S. national interest to accede to the request.
"I am disappointed to see reports that your administration intends to block Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... from receiving $5 billion in humanitarian aid from the IMF to combat the coronavirus pandemic," Feinstein wrote in a letter dated Thursday to President Trump. "Providing these funds to Iran would help it respond more effectively to the disease and mitigate the risk of further destabilization in the region."
The administration plans to block the request for an emergency loan, amid concerns that the anti-American regime still has billion-dollar accounts available to it, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Senior officials told the Journal that the loan would allow Tehran to divert the money to its economy -- which has been stunted by the sanctions imposed as part of the U.S. maximum pressure campaign -- or to finance hard boy bully boy groups in the Middle East.
Iranian "officials have a long history of diverting funds allocated for humanitarian goods into their own pockets and to their terrorist proxies," one of the administration officials told the outlet.

Actually, just the opposite is found to be true. Criminal activity and terrorism appear to be taking a sabbatical.

I'd really like a look at her numbered Swiss accounts.
As good a place to look as any, not just for Feinstein but all Democrats and some Republicans too, for an explanation for the way they behave. Along with deposits from Iran, I suspect you would find deposits from Mexico and China.

That might be easier now than ever as the Swiss don't hide bank accounts like they used to.
Surely our politicians meet all FinCEN reporting requirements....
[France24] Pope Francis called on Sunday for global solidarity in fighting the coronavirus pandemic and its economic fallout, urging the relaxation of international sanctions, debt relief for poor nations and ceasefires in all conflicts.
"May Christ our peace enlighten all who have responsibility in conflicts, that they may have the courage to support the appeal for an immediate global ceasefire in all corners of the world," the pope said in a livestreamed Easter message.
He condemned arms manufacturing and said the pandemic should spur leaders to finally end long-running wars such as that in Syria. He also appealed for help for migrants and others suffering from existing humanitarian conflicts.
The pope also warned the European Union that it risked collapse if it did not agree on how to help the region recover.
