He can, of course. He will be running specifically on pardoning himself. and in other Trump news: Apparently Trump is real shook because his folks told em "Don't worry, you won't be indicted, and if you are, we can tie it up in jurisdictional stuff forever" https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1666964960516227074.html

I think we've solved the mystery of the orange skies. It isn't from smoke from Wildfires, it's from Donald "Trumple's-Thinskin" Trump blowing his top that he might actually be in real trouble.

What I'm hopeful of was the fact that a jury found Trump liable for the sexual assault was the equivalent of blood in the water that causes everything else to descend on him like pirahna, just shreeding him.

Saw this in the Post story on the judge. I think even before this started, she would have been sent from Central Casting to annoy MAGA-ts "Chutkan was appointed to the U.S. bench in 2014 by President Barack Obama and was one of the first public defenders appointed to the federal trial court in Washington. A trained dancer raised in Kingston, Jamaica, Chutkan graduated from George Washington University and the University of Pennsylvania Law School before working in private practice with two Washington firms and serving 11 years with the D.C. Public Defender Service" (first there's black and a woman, of course. Appointed by Obama. Public Defender. A Foreigner. A Dancer (gotta have a more american hobby, like shooting things). Ivy League.) Just ticks off every box.

The Introduction in the indictment says it all: INTRODUCTION Defendant Donald John Trump lost the United States presidential election held on November 3, 2020. One oft he states he lost was Georgia. Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump. That conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia, and in other states.

Scratch Monkey posted:so he and Alex Jones tried the same bullshit. How'd that end up for Jones again? you remember from the intro from DuckTales where Scrooge is swimming in space to get a dollar, and a passing alien grabs it and laughs at him? Yeah, kinda like that. Jones is currently trying to play a shell game and move them around so quickly that no one can follow the money. The plaintiffs are encourage to just knock ALL the shells over and take whatever money they can legally.

And also said "Do it again" when asked what to do after the J6 riot, so he couldn't even claim "These were my underlings and took things too far" edit: From the AP story on the sentencing: “Make no mistake,” Tarrio wrote in one message. “We did this.” In another post as the Proud Boys swarmed the Capitol, Tarrio commanded: “Do what must be done.” In a Proud Boys encrypted group chat later that day someone asked what they should do next. Tarrio responded, “Do it again.” SirFozzie fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Sep 6, 2023 |

Trump loses again to E. Jean Carroll, and we didn't even need the jury for the verdict. (Just the damages) https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/06/politics/e-jean-carroll-trump-defamation-lawsuit/index.html Basically: "A jury reached the verdict that the 2022 statements about calling Carroll a liar was defamation, and since that fact has already been established, Trump can't say the 2019 comments (also calling her a liar) wasn't ALSO defamation. Jury will determine damages: edit: I wonder if this can go on indefinitely. I know she filed for statements post-verdict. If the same chain is honored in each case, it's a legal endless circle: Trump Lies, Carroll calls it defamatory, Trump Loses, Trump Lies again, rinse and repeat. It'd be funny if every time through the circle it costs Trump a few million. He could just save time by setting up an account to be debited every time he defames Carroll. If the 5 million per trial in damages continues, gets mighty expensive mighty quick SirFozzie fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Sep 6, 2023 |

BTW, speaking of Alex Jones earlier in the thread and his consequences, the judge tossed his idea that he could get rid of his entire judgement against him in bankruptcy. (Note: This doesn't mean it might not get REDUCED, because "reckless" judgements CAN be reduced in bankruptcy, while willfull and malicious behavior ones can't be. The judge may have to rule as to how much of his activity (and thus the judgement) was just reckless instead of malicious. Personally, I would rule that anything after he was shown that the charges he was making was false was malicious, but that's why I'm not (but should be) a judge https://www.reuters.com/legal/alex-jones-cant-avoid-sandy-hook-verdicts-bankruptcy-judge-2023-10-19/

so with the defamation award, we are looking at a half-BILLION dollars of judgements he needs to appeal, and all of it poo poo that he can't throw out when he's president. Oh, and he can't raise money with any bank chartered or registered in New York. I gotta say, this sucks for Citizen Trump. AND I LOVE EVERY loving MOMENT OF IT.

The number of times where an elderly person called me and wondered why they had given/been asked to give Apple Gift Cards for tech support, or because their mac found a page on the net that indicated "A problem with your computer, text apple gift cards to this address and we can fix it remotely".. It got to the point where I knew it was coming from the start. and had my polished spiel ready to go.

for better following the syllables? "Which scheme's lien reigns supreme?" I would definitely pay for Chairman Kaga to announce the verdict for the Judge. edit: er.. I mean I would pay for Chiarman Kaga to come in and read the verdict. Not for Chairman Kaga to decide the verdict. Although that might be on the table too, if he's amenable.

I saw someone say in a conversation that being on the Trump Trial would make them actually WANT to be on the Jury. Two Thoughts: One), Are they nuts? Do they know that Trump.MAGA will give any and all jurors (and their families) a social media proctologist probe like you've never seen before. I mean, we have folks believing there was a sex smuggling ring below a pizza shop.. do you really think that even if there's nothing in your social media that's problematic, they wouldn't invent something? And that it wouldn't stop with just online stuff? Two) (and more importantly), if you want to be on a jury for a trial, you're probably not impartial enough to be a fair juror. And to the 18 men and women on the jury? My condolences.

From the Pagliery thread above: Merchan: After denying Trump's *third* attempt to review a minor point in a previous ruling by the judge, Merchan shows he's had enough. "Defense is literally targeting individual decisions one by one by one and writing pre-motion letters. That has to end.." "There comes at point that you accept my rulings. I've entertained your motions. I've entertained your arguments... but at some point you need to accept the court's rulings. There's nothing else to clarify." Merchan now serving up a dish of reality to the former president's legal team, which seems to think they can still avoid the inevitable. "There's nothing else to reargue. We're going to have opening statements Monday morning. This trial is starting." Can we get this judge to replace Cannon? It's obvious to all that Trump's MO is to delay delay delay, stretch it out. It generally works out in civil trials, because he usually can drag it out so long that the other person gets tired of the legal warfare and drops it just to get rid of Trump (or goes bankrupt from expenses) The Government lawyers JOB is legal warfare on a grand scale, and prettttty sure they won't go bankrupt.
