Stay tuned. You'll find out differently when this is argued in court.

This "what Trump believed at the time" is another defense the Trump legal team and spokespeople are throwing against the wall to see if it sticks. What these people miss, and what the people who accept these comments miss, is that it does not matter what Trump believed at the time. It does not...

While this has political value DeSantis can use to dupe conservatives who are not paying attention, this is not a Disney policy shift. The article you cite says, "... CFTOD’s decision will not likely carry over into Disney’s film and television media anytime soon ..." The Central Florida...

Once again, you raise a single point that exists among many and unconvincingly argue that your point alone should carry the day. Also, there were few if any illegal votes to be counted. Smith has Trump cold. The evidence is overwhelmingly clear and we have not even seen the trump-card evidence...

I have read the indictment (skimming the highly detailed parts of it). I posted a link to it here in this thread soon after it became available. The indictment anticipated Trump's free speech defense and effectively neutralized it. Pertinent excerpts are below (emphasis mine). Notice how the...

There are two fatal flaws in Trump's free-speech defense. 1. The right to free speech is not absolute. While you can tell as many lies in public as you wish, you cannot use speech to commit crimes. Example, if I tell you I'm raising money to help buy Thanksgiving dinners for people in need and...

Another Loss for Trump in Court "A federal judge on Thursday decided to give the Manhattan District Attorney exactly what he wants: a video copy of former President Donald Trump’s damning testimony in an unrelated rape and defamation case that was decided earlier this year." (Source) I'm not...

On that, you and I agree. How do we get Trump to actually ask the Supreme Court to take this up? Nothing stops him from submitting the paperwork. Why does he not move on this, even as he says he wants this?

Flawed governor too. His meltdown under the national spotlight made that clear. For example, the numbskull actually allowed himself to be maneuvered into the ridiculous position of defending the vocational benefits of slavery. He did not have that tag before he started his presidential campaign...

Being a presidential candidate confers no special rights or privileges regarding criminal court. Numerous men running large organizations have been in court, and they get no special consideration because they are important or really busy. If being a presidential candidate did confer special...

You raise a good point. While people like to talk about corrupt politicians, there is the issue of the corrupt voter too. Voters keep putting these same corrupt politicians in office.

In the post muttly shared, Trump is calling for the Supreme Court to intercede to protect him from what he calls election interference from other courts and prosecutors. I'm all for that. I urge Trump go to the Supreme Court now to ask them to take up that very question. NOTHING stops Trump...

You make a valid point.

That's part of it, yes.

I agree 100%, except for the "mostly bogus" characterization of the indictments. But 100% yes. Trump will be the Republican nominee. I also agree. They could do better than to run Biden. But at this point it does not appear they will. Or a majority of the voters decided they had enough of...

Judge Cannon's Competency Questioned Anew We all know the story of Judge Cannon granting Trump's motion for a special master, only to be harshly reversed on appeal because her ruling did not follow the law. Now news is surfacing of a major constitutional blunder she made in another trial, and...

DeSantis has painted himself into an irrevocable corner, positioning himself far right of the general electorate. He stood on the starting line looking good, but when the race actually started, he ran backwards. The further behind he fell, the more strident he grew in his far-right positions...

Trump's Defense Lawyer Blunders; Admits a Trump Crime The words Trump Attorney John Lauro attributed to Trump on TV yesterday are admissible as evidence in the election interference trial. Trump's own defense attorney confirmed on TV that Trump did indeed commit one of the crimes for which he...

Thinking five years ahead makes good sense when developing business plans where we are in full control of our decisions and actions. Since I'm not a political operative or prospective candidate, it would be a poor use of time and mind space to speculate about political the possibilities that may...

The Voters Have Spoken; Two Expelled Tennessee Legislators Reelected These were landslide election victories. Pearson won with 93.4% of the vote. Jones won with 80.3%. https://apnews.com/article/tennessee-three-election-lawmakers-expelled-1ae19a1bd5f042624568e94b30c8fc1b
