Gun legislation. This is so powerful (but also has upsetting 911 audio).

INCREDIBLE: Former NRA President duped by Parkland parents into giving a fake graduation speech to empty chairs representing kids killed by gun violence who were supposed to graduate.

He thought this was the rehearsal. The high school doesn’t exist.

Jai yes... I even thought at the time, OMG what has he done?! I read an article in I think NYT, written by someone who was sat next to him on that night. He tried to brazen it out with difficulty.

lion that is so powerful, and so moving.

As as been said elsewhere about the NRA speeches at the non-existent high school, so much for background checks, eh?

*As has.
Bloody marbles all over the place.

BREAKING: Rudy Giuliani's law license has been suspended.

A disciplinary body says he made "demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump."

I can just hear Rudy and his BFF Doofus whinging and complaining to each other like a couple of tiny little titty-babies. I'm sure there's plenty of foot-stamping and "It's not FAIR!!!" going down.

What is the penalty if Giuliani continues to pedal lies to the public, though?

I'd suspect that the suspension (which is temporary) could become a permanent disbarment if he continues to peddle that big lie bullshit.

Who in their right mind would employ him?

Washington (CNN)--'The top US general repeatedly pushed back on then-President Donald Trump's argument that the military should intervene violently in order to quell the civil unrest that erupted around the country last year. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley often found he was the lone voice of opposition to those demands during heated Oval Office discussions, according to excerpts of a new book, obtained by CNN, from Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender.'

That made me laugh out loud!

It'll be the financial irregularities that get him in the end, won't it:

More on the Trump Organisation charges.

Weisselberg is widely believed to be under pressure to cut a deal with prosecutors in exchange for leniency. Jeff McConney, a senior vice-president and controller for the Trump Organization, has reportedly testified before a special grand jury.

Daniel R Alonso, a partner at Buckley LLP’s New York office and former chief assistant district attorney in Manhattan, told the Guardian this month that if prosecutors were targeting Weisselberg, it was “an obvious move to get the testimony of the controller on record.

“It appears from the reporting that he’s getting immunity. They either don’t think that he has criminal exposure or if he does, they’re more interested in getting people higher up on the food chain.”

It was also reported this week that Matthew Calamari, a former bodyguard now chief operating officer for the Trump Organization, is also under investigation.

Not everyone's in the fan club.

It was more than the statutory 12 1/2 years, but less than the max possible 30 years.

What I don't know is if he has to serve the full term or if he gets time off for good behaviour, in which case he'll serve half the sentence.

I listened to his Mother saying 'he's a good man'. It was minutes of her telling everyone how unfair it all was, and how she won't be able to hug him now. Not one word of sympathy for George Floyd's family. He wasn't mentioned.
