Oh, they definitely underestimate him. They think he's an idiot. But I don't think you understand the sheer blind hatred they have for him, and how unreasonable they are.

I'm not too worried. Oddly, BIden ended up taking part of the fall for the Pandemic because he won. Trump didn't handle the pandemic well, and was partly responsible for inflation. PPP and other handouts did happen under Trump too. But given that inflation took a little while to hit, and Biden...

Maga has achieved real political power. Some of the best voices from the Tea Party are still there (Massie for example), who know how the previous stuff failed. We are also watching a changing of the guard. Constant speaker no-confidences, Lara Trump as the head of the RNC, and Mitch McConnell...

Anyway, oral arguments happened before the Supreme Court for Trump's immunity claims. This affects only his federal claims, not the Georgia or New York cases, tbc. He seemed to do well. Kavanaugh seemed to be open to a favorable ruling, which is big.

Um, I didn't say that. If this was fair at all, it should at least move locales. All I said is that having as few free dismissals as possible is good for Trump, not the prosecution, if they get the same number.

It isn't being handled fairly In NYC. In the other places, I have hope. But it doesn't matter if it's being handled fairly in NYC. There's no need for a conspiracy there, just watch and let the juror pool do it's stuff, and voila, conviction. There's no point to bitch about the juror pool. And...

Yeah, for a few thousand dollars. I'm not worried about this, it hardly matters. What shocks me is that the case is going forward and wasn't dismissed. I'm expecting a conviction here, unless the judges get in the way, because of the juror pool. The best shot Trump has is a dismissal of charges...

The second is definitely met, as the likely punishment for this is imprisonment.

I'm pretty sure it's entirely legal, though I haven't checked the laws specifically. Now maybe it should be waived in a case like this, but legal is not moral or good. All it means is that rules were followed.

If the judge was a coward, then yes. If there was a fix, then no. This tells us that there isn't some deep control of the court systems in Georgia (outside of the Republicans nominating everyone). There is democratic control over the counties where democrats have a majority of, just like...

So in good news for Trump, he got the immediate review for appeal in Georgia. This means, to my mind, the Judge was playing politics as he wanted to get elected. He wrote the partial dismissal (of only Nathan Wade, not Fani Willis) in a legally bad way that the partial part really can't survive...

He didn't. Look, there's reasons not to like Kemp. There's also reasons to like Kemp (he was better on Covid than Trump, for example, and that's where most of the animosity arose). I wouldn't put Kemp into the uniparty for that exact reason, though mayhaps I'm wrong.

Given his nephew isn't even dead, I don't believe that's true. Honestly, googling, I can't even find if a nephew exists. Kemp couldn't pardon Trump if he wanted to. Georgia pardons are only legally available after serving the entirety of the punishment. Kemp doesn't have control over SCoG...

I don't know that SCoG will rule against Trump here. The judge found an appearance of impropriety, so hopefully the appeals court can use that to appeal successfully.

Wade was disqualified, but Fani Willis was not, in a major victory for Fani Willis. I expect this to be appealed to the State Supreme Court. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/fani-willis-verdict-decision-trump-georgia-election-case-disqualification-today

I wouldn't. This is a complete victory for the motion being issued, which was "This set of charges have a particular problem, and should be dismissed." They were. All it tells us is that there's no dismissal of all charges coming soon (like this week or next). That wasn't how Trump was going to...

https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/13/politics/georgia-trump-mcafee-election-interference-case/index.html 6 charges were dismissed. This is separate from the DA dismissal. But the tossing of the charges here likely means that the charges in the Trump case aren't going to be tossed outright because of...

Which defense? Trump's team is the defense, or do you mean the state senator's defense of Fani Willis' actions? Because if the second, then definitely.

This is a good cover of the chief allegation of kickbacks for Fani Willis. Also, a reminder, the opinion is supposed to come down sometime on or before this Friday.

Sure, so? I didn't say they did? What you included in your definition of a state is the issue. Look, your definition is currently both overbroad and too narrow. You need a better definition of what it means to hold land, and to stop attributing it a noble purpose which many (I'd say nearly all...
