Is there a Tl;Dr for why they are good with BitCoin and not the others? I thought they were all shady.

Attention judge: Brandon is being mean to me so the DOJ's protective order is bad

I want the judge to go with this. If this is "thinly veiled", Trump's tweets must be public admissions of guilt.

Eventually they�re just going to have a projection of her voting, like Zordon

They are going to roll her ICU bed into the chamber.

"Blink once for yes, twice for no."

Court cases will ensue, was that an eye twitch or a blink?

I haven't seen it discussed here yet but yesterday, a major fire swept through the town of Lahaina on Maui, forcing people to flee by whatever means possible (including jumping into the ocean.) At least 36 people are dead, the town is completely destroyed, and the survivors have lost everything. I know one person who lived there with their mother, and while they escaped, they've lost every single thing they've owned. The destruction, and the speed that it occurred, are just terrifying.

I got married there almost 15 years ago. The wife and I were considering a visit for our anniversary. This news kinda made the decision to not go for us.

I'm surprised I haven't heard of any protests/demonstrations following the indictment announcement. Weren't they setting up barricades and what not in anticipation of that?

My wife's family is in Orange County. I doubt their infrastructure is prepared for that kind of storm.

Love DeSantis having to look around before reluctantly putting his hand up.

The crowd was really divided by Christie's comments. Is there really an even split regarding Trump's charges or is one side just louder?

So there's a funny thing in Georgia law:

https://twitter.com/JoyceWhiteVance/status/1694411174123589750?t=UlucOAsA2Hj-G5-klYIORA&s=19

I've seen very little about this, much less about how it would affect a multi-defendant state RICO case. But, the Georgia DA has responded with a hilarious recommended trial date from this motion:

https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1694752955193348413?t=Vm-66QseFyJTac-UNkevDQ&s=19

This can't be possible, as we're on the wrong timeline for this clusterfuck of a RICO trial to actually start in two months. That would be some funny loving poo poo if the Cheeseman forces Donnie to actually stand trial quickly.

Why is Chesebro doing this? Is he trying to screw over Trump? Is to save in legal fees?

A lot of people will demand a speedy trial. He's doing it strategically because he doesn't think they could try him fast enough and hoping for dismissal on those grounds. As long as they start jury selection by the end of the year, this will fail. I have no doubt that Willis will start jury selection well within the timeline for all defendants. She's done it other RICO cases. One case right now has had jury selection ongoing for 8 months due to the number of defendants. I don't think it's going to take quite that long here, but it will still be a lengthy process.

In criminal law there aren't very many things that mandate immediate appeal. Most of the appellate work is post-conviction. This is true of interlocutory appeals in Georgia, as well. There isn't really much the defendants can do to slow things down if the prosecution wants to move forward.

That makes sense now, thanks.

This was his debate counterprogramming.

Holy poo poo. That is the part of the interview that they kept?!? I thought this thing was pre-recorded. This was the best take?

They didn't bother - the county jail posted his dimensions before he was even at the jail. Donnie gave them numbers that meant he's an inch taller and 25 pounds lighter since April.

25 pounds my rear end. He is fatter than me and I'm not keen to step on scale.

Why does anyone still voluntarily live in Florida

If my Aunt is an indicator, there is a large faction that lives there because they "like the politics".

I'm on vacation in Daytona and picked up the rona either on the plane down here or at one of the races I attended this weekend.

At the risk of sounding greedy, I'm glad the impact here is said to be likely minimal, but it sucks either way.

Ryan Hall Y'all's live stream is a pro click on YT if you're into/need to track weather. If you're in Central Florida, Tony Mainolfi from WESH is fantastic.

Semi related, there has been a large uptick of COVID cases in my area, likely due to school starting back up.
