I giggle, although in an ideal world the choice of the judge would and should make no differenc eif the law really is the same for everybody. I just cannot escape imagining the face of Trump when they told him what judge he got again this time.

Well, Donnyboy, you endlessly lied, you conspired, your tried to overthrow the political order in your country, you tried to steal the election, and now you are being held responsible for your crimes. They give it many legal names and specific terms, but I prefer to use an old fashioned one: high treason. And my idea of a penalty for high treason also is old-fashioned and quite simple: having a walk to the gallow. Sigh. Sometimes the old times are to be missed.

And they dont do this to you because of the election 2024. They do it because you are not above the law, and the law you tried to betray is the same law that now finds you.

Intelligent, thinking people who seek truthful, factual, accurate information need news promulgated by U. S. media outlets like a boa constrictor needs piano lessons.

The desire to hold political office should be an automatic disqualifier for ever holding political office, if not grounds for permanent incarceration in a maximum security psychiatric facility.

If lying politicians can be prosecuted for ‘fraud,’ as he proposes in the Trump indictment, we’ll need a lot of new prisons.

Quote:

...former Attorney General William Barr told CNN on Wednesday, “there were reasons not to bring” the case, and among them is “the slippery slope of criminalizing legitimate political activity.”

Quote:

There are any number of things as certain as death and taxes. One is that politicians will lie, and act on those untruths. Now that might make them felons.

Now where Republican states is shipping immigrants to Democrat states-The Dems and the left can get enough time to build this wall ?

Watching one episode of the drama regarding the wall. What I got out of it was the main argument then Majority Leader Pelosi had is Trump had to get Congress to approve funding. Trump however just wanted to get’er done. IMO both had reasons to be at odds with each other and personally I favored Pelosi’s argument. I think the biggest problem was that Trump didn’t understand the give and take required for what he wanted done. That and I don’t think they liked each other very much. Federal money is allocated by legislation passed by Congress, not the will of one man.

However there was nothing then and there is nothing now which prevents congress from appropriating those funds to finish the wall either.

It’s just one all around big mess. Welcome to team D and team R politics, it’s an emotional state of mind short on facts.

Incorrect should read "Before the Obama Administration" and the appointment of Eric Holder as Attorney General

Has this guy totally lost control of his senses?

Quote:

The US Justice Department has asked the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s election fraud case to step in after the former president appeared to threaten revenge against anyone who “goes after him”.

Prosecutors asked US District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to issue a “protective order” in the case brought by special counsel Jack Smith.

It came after Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social, using all caps: “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!”

The prosecution argued that the post suggested Mr Trump might intimidate witnesses by improperly disclosing confidential evidence received from the government.

Fitch downgrades the United States to AA+ from AAA, citing fiscal deterioration over the next three years and repeated down-the-wire debt ceiling negotiations that threaten the government’s ability to pay its bills.

History doesn't always repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

You realized that just now...? He belongs in a psychiatric asylum for sure. I say that since years, and I mean it professionally serious. He is totally delusional and deranged. And extremely dangerous for the national vital interest.
