Pancake fraud, and Bollywood changes: i just finished “It’s complicated” Ep19. Excellent information and very entertaining. I learned Renato’s pup is Henry. I believe I mentioned before my first daughter ~ your age had a kitty named Pancake when she was a teen. Well my second daughter has a 5 yo rescue pup name Henry. ... No coincidences ??? 🤷‍♂️😊

Very interesting what you said today on MSNBC as well.

I'm hoping they don't botch this.

But even if they don't, I'd advise everyone plan on showing up in November 2024. In fact, bring as many friends as reasonably possible and do whatever it takes to get people to the polls.

When the forces of Democracy show up, we win.

Now, if the forces of Democracy could solve the rubik's cube that is the youth vote, we'd really be onto something.

Can’t wait until tomorrow since it feels like just before the Super Bowl!!! Hope Trump can’t keep his big mouth shut before the judge and is slapped with contempt, obstruction, gag order, or another sanction!

Will Trump have a mugshot?

I finally downloaded the Apple Podcast app and now following “It’s Complicated.” Excellent discussion between you and Renato (including your quick wardrobe change...LOL). My gut feeling is Bragg would NOT hand down a Trump indictment without having substantial “meat” in addition to the Stormy Daniels’ counts. Michael Cohen testified dozens of times in front of that grand jury and knows where many “bodies are buried” in the Trump Organization. I understand what Renato is saying about prosecutors creating multiple counts for one criminal act, but with a reported 30+ counts of business fraud in the indictment gives me hope that when it’s unsealed next Tuesday, included will be fraud for inflating property values to secure bank loans, deflating property values for tax evasion, etc. Hopefully details of the indictment are enough to shut up Trump’s more moderate GOP supporters.

Asha,

How do we know that Trump has been indicted—is there material knowledge somewhere?

I have yet to make it to Zoom office hours. I know I can’t make it at 9 AM on the 12th as I’ll be teaching my own students in a revamped intro to computers class at the community college. The second class meeting is normally the one where I cover research skills like using databases and now how to include discussion of ChatGPT & friends.
