I took a food science class in college where we made ice cream. It was seriously one of the hardest classes I ever took, right up there with O-chem.

They can’t afford her.

It’s certainly worth reading to, at minimum, get a sense of the direction the prosecution will go and the strategy it’ll use. I’m just saying the nature of and purpose of an indictment is to make the accused appear as guilty as possible while leaving out as much as they can that may point to holes or weaknesses in their case, up to and including exculpatory evidence. That being the, er, case, it could look like a slam dunk, and corporate media will certainly pump that story out as much as people are willing to hear it, but the actual case might be extremely weak and hanging on stretched interpretations of the evidence and the actual law (which this prosecutor is known for doing). I’d still put money on a deferred prosecution agreement with the condition Trump drops out of the Presidential race.

All of the statements from his inner circle you’re talking about… those witnesses will have to be called by the prosecution, and the defense will have a chance to cross them to clarify and expand on their statements used by the prosecution as the facts of the indictment. The prosecution can cherry pick from their depositions to form the basis of the probable cause by asking only certain questions in certain ways during the grand jury. Trying to “judge” the case based on the indictment is a fool-hearted errand. And to think that his inner circle turned on him based on what’s in the indictment is ill advised at best.

I’ve skimmed it. I’ll take a deep dive tonight, but the nature of indictments/PC statements is to be extremely biased and make the accused look as bad as possible, leaving out most anything that could possibly be looked at as favorable to the defense. From what I’ve heard this indictment reads as if it was an MSNBC article co-authored by Rachel Maddow and Morning Joe.

That’s my bad. I lumped you in on that response. I agree every politician gets attacked now to an extent, especially the more successful… maybe that’s why Joe doesn’t get attacked much.

Honestly, I think many of his actions have been grossly exaggerated. Should he have accepted defeat graciously? Yes, but pretty much every politician explores every legal avenue in a close race. Do I think he actually attempted a coup? No, and it would not even be remotely possible in our country. This isn’t Niger.

You guys really think Biden is/was attacked as much as Trump? Really? I didn’t figure for you two to be exclusively FoxNews watchers… that’d be the only explanation for that viewpoint. Setting the personal attacks aside, yes, Trump is a crass asshole and, yes, Biden is a bumbling senile geriatric. Trump began his presidency with the loser, corporate media and the democrats crying he stole the election and was an illegitimate president. This followed with a yearslong investigation by the FBI and special counsel into the false allegations, and even when they were proven to be unfounded, the media and democrats continued with the lies. In no way does the corporate media take every chance they can to twist facts just to smear Biden like they did/do with Trump.

Perhaps if he wasn’t attacked relentlessly, he would’ve behaved better… It’s easy to believe everyone is out to get you, well, when everyone is actually out to get you.

That’s unfortunate. I want us to go full banana republic. This is the most wishy washy federal statute ever. I’m fairly certain every manager, foreman, supervisor, teacher, school administrator, parent commits this felony multiple times/day. It’s sort of like a disorderly conduct charge, just a loosely defined, catch-all misdemeanor or ordinance violation for which the cops can basically arrest/ cite anyone at any time. In fact, the average person commits three felonies every day, according to a study by Harvey Silvergate, a Harvard professor.…. And some of you think Congress should be sitting around making more laws.

We’ll have to get the outfit and CIA on our side… they’re good at fixing elections.

I’ll go ahead and say I’m sick of the Jason Aldean song. I’m in my truck maybe 30 minutes today, 10 to work, 10 home, 5 to the gym, 5 home, and the song was on during three of those short trips. (The Highway/ SiriusXM)

I’d prefer it be nobody who has held any public office… RFK vs Vivek.

Nah… the indictment was handed down today to overshadow yesterday’s happenings. When the Hunter show picks back up, Americans will be directed to focus on a kitten stuck in a well or something. It should have the at least the holding power of a missing submarine full of rich people.

Yeah, it should be the only one this month… Georgia won’t be until September.

Trump officially indicted for the third time, with one charge allowing for the death penalty. Will Jack Smith put it on the table? 18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured— They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section (1) or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap (2), aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death. (1) Ashley Babbitt (2) Pence & Pelosi

Yeah, that’d be one the SC would have to make a decision on. Likely they’d just skip the SOH and put the President Pro Tempore in as President and the Secretary of State in as VP.

No worries… it’s only the 22nd amendment… It can’t be that important. Side note, isn’t it sort of peculiar that there was a prohibition on alcohol (18) then we gave women the right to vote (19) then immediately decided we needed booze again (21)?

To answer your question, no, Barrack can’t run as VP due to a combination of the 12th and 22nd amendments. The 12th prohibits anyone who is not constitutionally eligible to hold the office of President from holding the office of Vice President. Due to being ineligible to be President via the 22nd amendment, he cannot be vice President via the 12th amendment.

That’s Russia, comrade. The 22nd amendment prohibits any person from being elected to the office of President more than twice.

I’m referring to the one who wears the pants in the family.

It will be Newsom/Obama in some order, and it will be after Biden wins the nomination, so the DNC can insert them onto the ballot without either being in the primaries. RFK will likely (haha.. definitely) sue.

Not one bit extreme. Progressives espouse and celebrate the canon of Karl Marx, but they avoid labeling themselves as such as everyone knows Marxism isn’t palatable, given the atrocities that unavoidably come with it. 99% of the current progressive agenda is based on critical theory. Pretty much every part of their platform is about declaring one group or another to have a power advantage/ disadvantage, and think the state needs to fix it no matter how much it damages the country. What is extreme is the amount of people on the left who call Trump, MAGA and conservatives in general fascists, white nationalists, white supremacists, racists, etc., just because the politics of the right don’t declare winners and losers, which only serves to divide the nation.

To beat Biden, Trump really only needs enough money to fund Cornell West’s campaign.

Speaking of, what’s going on with the USWNT? It seems they’re more concerned with not singing the national anthem for Megyn Kelly than they are with winning games.
