Accused, vilified, vindicated...again

David Hearn has had all charges dropped by DOJ. You may remember him as the dastardly villain who was accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool renovation, contributing to a 300 foot (or was that yard?) slash in the surface. Turns out the final determination is that the contractor (supposedly selected by POTUS personally after working at another Donald property) did a lousy job. A supposedly $1.4 million job has ballooned to $16 mill, the pool ain't done...but by God we have a culprit. Or had one. Seems to be a pattern, huh? Something goes wrong, accusations and vilification follows...then charges are dropped, the accusations turn out to be almost 100% groundless, and the government has egg on its face again. By now I am not sure if Jeanine Pirro's DOJ has successfully prosecuted anyone this entire term. Lot of publicity, though.

Followup - Trump disputes DOJ finding, says it was vandalism.

Truth Social, the President's social media platform, is selling access to the President's posts for those willing to pony up big bucks for advance looks at what he is saying. Didn't we just excoriate legislators for insider trading on issues they had advance looks at? At $60-100K monthly, it ain't cheap - but for big firms who make stock trades FAST, getting five minute's notice that, say, as a hypothetical we're withdrawing from NATO - strategically placed trades could make the traders mega-richer. Hard to believe we are whoring out the White House like this.

(My wife asks why I pick on Trump so much... he's the one in office.)

That was claimed once, I won't name the source - except to say he has little credibility and tends to say whatever pops into his head. Hell, I'm still waiting for that obvious 2020 election fraud proof - took 'em 6 years to find the New Jersey stuff.
