I think at this point it is far more likely they board the DeSantis train, and perhaps there’s backdoor negotiations about Trump getting a pardon if DeSantis wins.

Provided of course that Trump is a good boy, and doesn’t try to poo poo up DeSantis’ campaign.

Which Trump’s ego probably can’t allow him to do. He simply cannot handle irrelevance.

But by then he's also going to be rear end-deep in some kind of new case filed by his ex-wife, probably cases filed by other people over other things, and dealing with the 1/6 committee, and all of these people will have the pertinent texts and emails going back two years

I guess what it comes down to is, every lawyer knows he's an idiot who simply can not shut up, who would self-destruct and hand the win over to the plaintiffs, so this is the only caliber of lawyer that's even willing to take him on as a client.

There was a moment yesterday when his lawyer talked about the judge making a motion, and she quickly corrected him, saying "a judge doesn't issue motions, a judge issues orders"

Knowing what we know about Trump, including that he took this documents to the closet of his hotel, I personally find it to impossible believe that there’s anybody who doesn’t believe that he was sharing secrets throughout the entirety of his presidency.

Just look at the things we know he did do (and this list only goes up through late 2019.)

You’ll have to scroll down through the twitter thread. I won’t post them all here, it would take up the rest of the page.

Even if she does appoint one, there is a chance DOJ will say “well okay, but we already finished inventorying and cataloguing all these documents during the two weeks they didn’t ask for a special master.”

Sure, Thomas would likely rule for Trump.

But these people see their jobs as eroding privacy rights, changing the landscape of the US the way they did with the Roe decision. Chipping away at democracy one ruling at a time.

They do not see themselves as being there to work for Trump, to throw the presidency to him after he lost the election, or to save his rear end when he inevitably does stupid things, as he has done here.

It might be 7-2 or 6-3 but they are going to rule against him if he appeals it up there.

I'll bet some/many of them would be all too happy to hear a case about government overreach because that specifically helps destroy the institutions that could challenge them. IE, more restrictions on DOJ and FBI means no one will be left to challenge state governments that violate federal laws.

I may be totally misunderstanding you here, but what kind of government overreach are you seeing here? In what way could what the government is doing to Trump, and is going to do in future, be considered overreach, by a SC justice?

I will concede that Thomas is probably in the tank, and might see it that way. But the others? This ruling today by the appeals court basically demolished everything Chudge Cannon said, in a clear, succinct manner, and it’s really difficult for me to imagine even todays SC going against that logic.

And I am no defender of this SC. As I have said, the Trump appointees are there for a specific purpose.

As an addendum, I will say that I can definitely see them ruling 5-4 or 6-3 for this disastrous states’ rights case coming up in the next couple of months.

The one that says basically “states can send electors for whichever candidates they choose regardless of how the populace of that state actually votes,” the one that says nobody’s vote in a presidential election matters.

Because THAT’s what these people were put there to do. Not defending Trump on his stupidity (though Trump would undoubtably disagree)

Dernald J. Trunt is arguably in more legal jeopardy than any single individual in the history of this country has ever been in.

It’s not just the James thing yesterday. It’s that plus the Federal deep poo poo he’s in for possibly espionage, it’s Georgia, where he wanted to “find” just 11,780 votes, and also it’s possible J6 charges coming at some point later on.

"Will Mr. Trump stay on topic and answer only the question asked."

"He says call him, "President"

Also, every time he goes off topic stop the hearing and have a staff attorney just spend 10 minutes, with slides, going over everything that refutes what ever he just said.

To normal people a dog is the physical embodiment of love, the most loving and loyal companion.

But to Trump, a dog is something dirty, something to be despised, to be kicked probably.

It’s always been clear in how he uses the word:

“I fired him, like a dog”
“I threw him out, like a dog”
“Rubio was sweating like a dog”

Also, the cold war paranoia and the sort of "who we do we hate" limbo resulting from it's end was eventually supplanted and filled by 9/11. I'm pretty old and remember Rocky IV, Reagan and all the "gently caress Russia" poo poo. Now those same types of jingoistic patriotic types lean toward loving Putin.

Indeed. I know from seeing the things you’ve said on these forums for years that we are about the same age, and grew up in the same Soviet-hating environment. Hell, I joined the USMC right after high school in 1987, and most everything we did was training to fight the Soviets in Europe, and I despised them back then, as did most everyone else.

Then came the collapse of the Soviet Union, and about a decade later came 9/11, and suddenly we had politicians saying things like if a cop pulls someone over, and the driver has “a fan belt wrapped around a towel on his head, that guy needs to be taken out of the car and checked out”

So then, everybody forgot about Russia and it was Muslim Man Bad. Then we got a black man as president, causing the right to completely lose their minds, the descent of Fox News into scaremongering/xenophobia/racism/conspiracy theories, and the love for the Strongman who can come to power and make things a’right, leading to Trump, etc.

Having grown up through these times, it is always amazing to me how much the chuds and Republican politicians absolutely idolize Putin today.

The important part people overlook is just how deeply the 1990s nationalist take was about the victory lap for winning the cold war. The Soviet Union fell apart, the communists are gone, Russia is democratic and capitalist and Gorby himself sells pizza now.

I think you are right, it was a big nationalist victory lap. And the 1990s, which were my 20s, seemed almost glorious. No one my age or my parents' age had lived in an era where there wasn't any fear of open conflict/possible nuclear war. The '91 Gulf War, which I participated in, seemed to cement the US as the dominant world power at the time. I was still in the Marines until late '98, and not having the big Soviet boogeyman around anymore changed a lot of things. It was kind of like, what do we prepare for now? Nobody at the time ever envisioned anything like the GWOT, and there was no real peer adversary left.

I think it's partially because I was in my 20s, which is a fun time for most people, and partially due to the situation then, but the 90s seemed almost... tranquil, if you were a US citizen. LA riots, economy, and some other things aside.

But really, the 90s were a kind of Indian Summer, leading up to 9/11, where the real face of the modern age in this country would begin to reveal itself. By 2001 I was out of the USMC and also old enough to look at current events like an adult, and I knew on 9/11 that things had changed, and the world had changed, irrevocably.

And you are absolutely dead-on about the right's militaristic culture war kleptocracy path thing.

Pest was my word. The guy in the video was screaming his lungs out calling her an infested or infected animal.

I’m not familiar with your post history and views, so I have no idea where you’re coming from.

But the congressional rep you’re talking about here has spent the last couple of years characterizing the entirety of the party opposite of hers (and the entirety of their electorate) as pedophiles.

The idea being that if half of the 340 million people in this country are pedophiles, there is nothing that can happen to them that is out of line, nothing that is too bad.

One of her closely-aligned coworkers in Congress has spent the same amount of time screaming the same things, and also screaming about how the founding fathers meant for the church to dictate how government works, and how the church dictates laws, through God. All laws and rights are God-given. It has nothing to do with elections, or laws of man.

Not to mention the idea that both of these congresspeople, as well as many others, have championed the “stolen election” thing.

They are all going to preemptively continue doing it all through the runup to 2024, and will then continue to do it, through their last days.

Given all this, are you seriously upset that people in a blue state blew whistles and screamed that she was an animal, when she went to NYC today explicitly to stage this exact event, in support of the one man who lead this entire charge?

Knowing without a doubt that she was going to get this reception? Doing it specifically because she *knew* that she would get this reception, and could use it as rage-fodder on social media and on Fox News?

If so, I have some bad news for you.

The good news, perhaps not for you personally but in general, is that you aren’t likely to see any congressperson on the other side declare everyone else pedophiles and therefore worthy of annihilation.
