A New York woman has filed a lawsuit against airline JetBlue, because, she says, in 2014 her butt was seriously burned by tea during a flight to Las Vegas, and the airline failed to show proper concern until she pulled down her pants and revealed the damage. Speaking to the New York Post on Sunday, 25-year-old…
Former President Donald Trump appears to be headed toward indictments in Washington, D.C., and possibly Florida, but a prosecutor who lives in the Sunshine State worries that a judge picked by the former president could complicate matters.
A pair of federal grand juries have been hearing evidence in the classified documents investigation, of which the Department of Justice has notified Trump that he is the target, and Palm Beach state attorney Dave Aronberg told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" the ex-president could soon face "a reckoning."
"I think that there are two reasons why they have the grand jury down here," Aronberg said. "I think it is to make sure this is a proper venue for Trump because I think you could see a split indictment like they did in the Paul Manafort case, indictments in D.C. and South Florida against Trump and against Trump's associates down here in South Florida so stay tuned -- exciting times ahead."

"The grand jury that's been meeting in D.C. has done so much work that I can't imagine that they are just going to leave this whole thing without an indictment," Aronberg continued. "I think that you will see an indictment against Trump in D.C. If you ask federal prosecutors, they would much rather have this the case in D.C. than down here in South Florida. It's a much more favorable jury pool up there, they overwhelmingly voted against Trump. Down here in South Florida, although it is a bluish area, it's not as blue as Washington, D.C., plus there's judge Aileen Cannon down here in Palm Beach County. You remember her, she's the one who seemed to went over backwards to give Trump's legal team everything they wanted in the special master matter until the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals essentially overruled her and took the case away from her, so there are some pitfalls."
"But I think you'll see, like in the Paul Manafort case, a split indictment, there'll be charges up there and there'll be separate charges down here and it will go through the whole process and I guess my advice" he added, "But my advice to Donald Trump is don't buy any green bananas -- a reckoning is coming."

Pat Robertson, the broadcaster who helped make evangelical Christians into a political powerhouse within the Republican Party, has died at the age of 93.
The Associated Press reports that Robertson's death was announced by the Christian Broadcasting Network that he founded on Thursday morning.
No cause of death was given at the time.
Robertson often made controversial statements, most infamously when he appeared to agree with the Rev. Jerry Falwell that the September 11th terrorist attacks were an example of "the enemies of America [giving] us probably what we deserve."

Per the New York Times, Robertson also "said that liberal Protestants embodied 'the spirit of the Antichrist,'" that "feminism drove women to witchcraft," and that "his prayers had averted hurricanes."
An unnamed lawyer working for former President Donald Trump has been spilling some dirt about his client to New York Magazine's Ankush Khardori -- and he says that obeying Trump's commands is a surefire way to end your legal career.
In an interview, the attorney in question explains the dangers of agreeing to work for Trump and not being prepared to push back against his wilder ideas.
"He gets these lawyers who just want to be part of that Trump world,” the attorney explained. “The ones who say ‘yes’ to everything, who will get sanctioned and get disbarred, who go to courts claiming election fraud that doesn’t exist, or who get put in a difficult position."
This attorney said that they personally had avoided that pitfall and had still managed to do their job in providing the former president with competent legal defense.

Elsewhere in Khardori's article, he delved into the reasons that Trump hasn't been able to attract top-notch legal talent to defend him in the multiple legal probes he now faces.
"One reason... is that Trump is cheap and has apparently been reluctant to spend the sort of money his legal circumstances would seem to demand," he writes. "Another is that he seems to have a high tolerance for chaos and dysfunction and perhaps even enjoys being able to shuffle lawyers around based on his whims, however unwise it may ultimately be."
Trump currently faces a slew of legal problems, including a civil lawsuit over allegedly fraudulent business practices from New York Attorney General Letitia James; criminal charges related to his hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels; two different investigations into his efforts to illegally remain in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden; and an investigation into his decision to stash top-secret government documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Trump was also recently found liable for sexually abusing and defaming journalist E. Jean Carroll.
