We'll know more when the charges are unsealed, but Edwards got off because he could make a solid argument that he was trying to avoid embarrassing his wife and the prosecution really couldn't prove otherwise. Donnie has offered about 7 different excuses showing evidence of guilt (or known evasiveness), his fixer lawyer already confessed and has him on tape, his new lawyer had to leave BigLaw because BigLaw won't touch Donnie at all, the business he used has a convicted felony against it, he has a catch-and-kill pattern with Pecker, and multiple witnesses involved. Not at all a slam dunk, but not as weak either. And from what some NY-centric lawyers are saying, it might not even have an intent requirement attached like the federal poo poo.

In the Trump era, I was listening to a ranger explain how Taft had signed the proclamation establishing the monument.

I turned and whispered “I bet that he didn’t do it with a Sharpie”.

The ranger heard and had to stifle a laugh.

The year is 2015. Steeped in national debt, the United States reluctantly allows the Walt Disney Company to purchase the entire peninsula of Florida in the largest geographic acquisition since the Louisiana Purchase. Under its new president, formerly-ousted CEO Michael Eisner, the newly-sovereign state is renamed Los Disneys. Your job is to infiltrate the Magic Kingdom, blasting your way through animatronic pirates, holographic ghosts, tourists, security guards and even Mickey himself in an attempt to seek and destroy the frozen head of Walt Disney. However, doing so inadvertently triggers Eisner's doomsday device… unless you can stop it.

TLDR: Larry Hogan's former chief of staff was supposed to go on trial for federal fraud and theft charges last month. He didn't show up, so they issued a bench warrant. Cut forward to today and well, he's dead after the FBI found him. No idea on what specifically happened yet.

That's the dumb person's smart political take all over the takeosphere.

The bottom line is that Donnie didn't get enough votes in 2020. Does this get him more votes? No, but it probably locks up the primary due to dumb tribal bullshit. But those aren't more general electorate votes. Arguably, it loses him votes from olde Republicans tired of the circus.

Plus, that take assumes that he won't be charged in any of the other cases, or he won't gently caress up in some other exotic way in the next 19 months, or that Biden somehow forgets how to campaign and throw every lovely thing Donnie ever did on TV.

My concern is the swing states from 2020, but Trump cost the GOP Pennsylvania, so maybe it's somewhat unfounded.

Bidens a worse candidate in 24 than 20 and ran in 20 flirting with being a one termer because age was an issue. Not saying he’ll lose to Trump but I think he loses to a younger Republican most time out of 10.

If Trump is the candidate he might win anyway, but then again he might not.
