I guess the (now) ex-wife might be involved in possibly trying to drag up some drama with Fani Willis. A lot of this is seeming less credible every day.

People around Trump have been saying he wants a female VP for two years now, because he feels like he lost suburban (white) women in 2020 compared to 2016, and that will totally fix it. Y’know, the 2020 election that he totally didn’t lose and was rigged and STOLLEN from him.

Thing is, whatever female Republican he chooses is going to be vehemently anti-abortion, and that’s what’s killing the GOP with women - and not just suburban women - lately.

He only wants a female VP so he can try to gently caress her. Let's be real. His running mate will be an attractive female.

I don’t see how tanking the economy can help trump when we know voters uniformly blame the shutdown on republicans.

Which makes them continuing to do it absolutely bizarre

Because the only ones who don't like it are Democrats. Republican voters fukken loooooove it when the government shuts down unless it affects them personally, in which case they blame Democrats for being unreasonable. It doesn't cost them anything to shut down the government anymore, and they think it's fun, so why stop?

You know the thing is, I am 100% sure if Biden did a drone strike on Mir-a-Lago, there would be 100% universal outrage and if Trump did it on Biden 48% of Trump voters would be like "Well, I am sure he had his reasons, that Hunter/Ukraine stuff is super sus" and 30% of Democrats would be like, I just can't bring myself to vote for Elizabeth Warren because I have some serious questions that she may have been stealing valor from the proud people of the Indigenous Cherokee Nation.

Yes, this has been brought up, but I believe others have also brought up that Trump himself has specifically and vigorously argued that he is in fact protected from certain legal actions in his position as an officer conducting official duties, the official duties being calling E. Jean Carroll a lying whore because the fact that he raped her made him look bad. And he raping her is now legally an established legal fact.

edit: Also, SCOTUS saying he is in fact an officer is a really convenient precedent that they are fully allowed to established that says Presidents can do really awful stuff, like how they love qualified immunity so much, but they can't just like assassinate a political rival. It's the kind of fun squishy line that they get to decide over and over again depending on what Harlan Crow brings up on his yacht in Monaco after flying them there on a private plane for an all-expense vacation that they lie about taking.
Oh, the immunity part is borderline frivolous and it was revealed to be so when Trump's attorneys were asked at the circuit court level if he was in fact immune if he ordered a SEAL team to take out a political rival. But what counts as an "officer" of the United States is very much a counterintuitive "eh, probably not" as applied to the president in a surprisingly large number of cases.

I am actually kind of serious about this, I think a lot of his dark money is hedging with "It's going to look loving pathetic when they seize your plane and rip your name off Trump Tower, just saying we are taking some meetings with the Biden team so they don't completely gently caress us in the next term." and that has him absolutely terrified. I get that he is a complete sociopath, but I think it is pretty clear at this point that he isn't completely convinced that his "absolute immunity" arguments are going to fly and he might have technically committed some crimes that are totally unfair to be crimes.

edit: I'm just saying his complete and incredibly blatant shift from "100% INNOCENCE and WITCH HUNT" to "THERE HAS TO BE 100% IMMUNITY, NO EXCEPTIONS" might be the result in some part of his lizard brain that, actually, yes, I did commit some serious crimes and then his sociopathy overrules it with an emphatic "But I am allowed to!" and then it completely shuts down into grievance.

Yea my understanding that the argument he is not a officer of the United States has legs from what has been posted here.

it does, but it has some other problematic ramifications for specifically the supreme court because it has bang-on effects in other laws that were written well after the 14th. i forget the specifics, but i more or less made this precise argument in the last thread and another poster whose avatar i remember but name i forget disassembled the line of thought pretty thoroughly. it's not actually a slam dunk is the takeaway, though. the question of colorado's disqualification is interesting because if it goes for trump, basically nothing happens; he's allowed to stay on the ballot, and it's business as usual, albeit he has one more thing to bray like a donkey about. if it goes against him, well, that's basically it, doneski, it won't just be "deep blue" states removing him at that point, he's basically off the ballot in all 50 and the republican party is gonna have to scramble to figure out a replacement candidate.

in that way, the question is sorta no-lose for the nation.

anyways, my eternal hatred for chuds who rather watch the world burn trying to get this guy re-elected rather than moving on.
