all this for one failed steak salesman

that's the real damage from all of this. the fact that one steak salesman can just take apart the country and no one can stop him.

but let a righteous man ask for equality or help and the entire country unites to take them down

I've seen some suggestion that Weisselberg intentionally did it with the full intention that it would be discovered as an appeal tactic. Which sounds crazy but also like something Trump would do.

I'm firmly convinced that Trump's tactic has completely pivoted to just hoping any rulings won't be enforceable a year from now.

and none of these trials would be happening, not a single criminal charge, if the failed steak salesman had stuck to selling steaks and condos and never run for president

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
Yeah it was definitely an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi who was trying to stop the guy on her side from winning, and who also got her office trashed and smeared in poo poo. Yep definitely Nancy.

He might as well have said the Cookie Monster did it.

Even in spite of his weird wishy washy style of "TELLING IT LIKE IT IS," this is another example of him not being a political innovator and trying to play all sides at once by running his mouth. I could see this statement transitively appealing to :d2a: "lefties" or whatever whose entire political angle is basically 'USA bad,' but :doh: if you're slobbing on Trump's knob for that one.

PLEASE let immunity come up so that one of the judges can straight up ask Trump's lawyer "You do understand that Biden is currently president and if we rule in Trump's favor on this, that also gives him carte blanch to do literally anything he wants, right?"

I’ll honestly be relieved a little if Trump is allowed on the ballot because the first thing that would happen if the CO SC’s decision were upheld would be chud governors and legislatures removing Biden from the ballot. If that were to happen in a battleground state, it would be bad

Yeah I always felt that removing Trump from the ballot was ultimately going to be a non-starter; it would go the other way as well, and the last time states just up and picked/chose which candidates were going to be on the ballot, it turned out... not great?

The only way it would work is if Trump was unilaterally barred from running for office at all

trump's lawyers have been asked that before "yes" is their answer because the later hypocrisy will be handled by the united state's entire media apparatus, so it doesn't matter.

"the supreme court today ruled that presidents and ex-presidents have total immunity. 15 minutes later president biden was arrested for not saluting hard enough. trump is currently driving around in a stollen car robing banks. for an unbiased opinion on why this is all cool and good here is a republican to explain it"

Oh okay, last time I had seen them being asked about immunity, no one seemed willing to ask them if they actually knew who the current president was. Good on reporters for actually asking them directly rather than at each other.

Especially since their ruling would have to include who specifically can be excluded and under what circumstances
