Yeah. You're wrong.

Agreed. Although it's another example of Trump getting special treatment. I'll stipulate to the extraordinary circumstances, but would any other convicted felon get the same treatment? But maybe under house arrest/home confinement.

I'd feel comfortable with a small wager that during the debate Trump will utter the word 'weird' before Harris does.

How were you informed? Who informed you? If it were SSA I would think they would have provided a contact number? Do you have access to mySSA? If so, maybe look there for resolution.

"Childcare is childcare." Brilliant.

Huh? It's Trump speaking. Or should I say "weaving". What was edited?

Gotta love it when the "weird" thing gets under his thin skin and he goes off repeating it. Or the third-grade comeback, "I'm not weird, he's weird". He repeats the word 'weird' nine times and you can hear Hannity trying to reign in cranky grandpa. Definitely losing a step or three. Love it when he "weaves" on "wind bacon". Too old for the presidency.

Cool graphic. How many of these are "convictions"?

"latest"? First? Second (if you count Hunter's gun plea.)

Hunter Biden pleads guilty to federal tax charges and judge accepts his plea Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to all nine charges in his federal tax case Thursday, and District Judge Mark Scarsi in Los Angeles has accepted his plea. Sentencing is scheduled for December 16, notably after November’s presidential election. The prosecution did not object to the date, which was proposed by the judge. The president’s son has now officially pleaded guilty to one count of felony tax evasion, two counts of felony filing fraudulent tax returns, four misdemeanor counts of failing to pay taxes, and two misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/05/politics/hunter-biden-case/index.html

I was wondering why so many of these right-wing "influencers" and "podcasters" were shilling for Putin and were pedaling the anti-Ukraine messaging. Yes Tim Pool, I'm looking at you. Duped? Right-wing influencers were duped to work for covert Russian influence operation, US says NEW YORK (AP) — They have millions of followers online. They have been major players in right-wing political discourse since Donald Trump was president. And they worked unknowingly for a company that was a front for a Russian influence operation, U.S. prosecutors say. An indictment filed Wednesday alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers — including well-known personalities Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — was secretly funded by Russian state media employees to churn out English-language videos that were “often consistent” with the Kremlin’s “interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition” to Russian interests, like its war in Ukraine. https://www.wjhl.com/news/politics/ap-right-wing-influencers-were-duped-to-work-for-covert-russian-influence-operation-us-says/

A guess...maybe they can see that you have a valid TM30 (which matches the address you're using on the TM47) on file when they look up your details? And if you don't, you get asked.

Melania snagged an "Einstein Visa". Melania Trump obtained US citizenship on a visa reserved for immigrants with "extraordinary ability" and "sustained national and international acclaim", according to a report in the Washington Post. Nicknamed the "Einstein Visa", the EB-1 is in theory reserved for people who are highly acclaimed in their field - the government cites Pulitzer, Oscar, and Olympic winners as examples - as well as respected academic researchers and multinational executives. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43256318 No clue what type of visa the rest of her "chain-migration" family "obtained"?

Right now I'd say Trump is 55:45 to win. If he acts 'normal' for six weeks, stays on message, and wins the debate, he's a shoo-in.

Alina Habba is standing in for Melania.

You referred to Texas v. Pennsylvania. No clue what you now mean by "It was more than just PA."? 126 "congressmen" signing onto a mad plot to stop the peaceful transfer of power is hardly indicative of anything. "Standing" is important. Even a nine-year-old recognizes how silly it is for one state to try and tell another state how to hold an election.

John McCain’s son blasted Trump’s visit to Arlington as a ‘violation’ Jim McCain is a 1st Lt, just back from a seven-month deployment in Jordan. James McCain enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at the age of 17 in 2006. He served with 1st Battalion 1st marines as an infantry rifleman in Iraq during the surge of 2007. After leaving the USMC he received his bachelors from Arizona State University and rejoined the Arizona Army National Guard. He served in Afghanistan in 2014 as a squad leader in the infantry and oversaw the Guardian Angel missions around Kabul. After returning home he received his master’s degree in history from Trinity College Dublin. James currently has been accepted to attend OCS and become an officer in U.S. Army Intelligence. He lives with his wife Holly and two sons, Luke and Killian, in Sedona.

Were they all really "sent to the circus"? Wouldn't it be easier to just quote how many obese people there were? How many fat ladies do you think a circus, or an opera needed? President William Howard Taft might have a bone to pick (whale-bone? Bear-bone?) with RFK Jr

Yawn. One state, Texas, suing another state Pennsylvania arguing PA doesn't know how to run an election. Please stop the nonsense. The Supreme Court issued orders on December 11, declining to hear the case on the basis that Texas lacked standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge the results of the election held by another state. -Wiki

By this you mean the popular vote, right? Some say Harris might have to go to +6 points (%) to overcome the Electoral College bias. Based on that RCP tally, the two single votes in Nebraska and Maine may tilt the balance. (I see they have the ME single in red, while the state's two votes are in blue.) If it's 269-269 and that map sticks, Trump would win the vote in the House (one vote per state).

50:50. Need to get the trial finished first, then maybe sentencing. If the President grants a pardon, I know I would for my son under similar circumstances, then it would come on 19/20 January 2025. He won't leave this to the next president, obviously. Trump pardons dozens in final hours, including ex-aide Steve Bannon A statement from the White House listed the 73 individuals who had received pardons and the 70 who had their sentences commuted. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55729221

Yeah, you don't see us libtards chiming in about voter suppression and gerrymandering on the right. OK, maybe it's time to counter all this Dead People Voting nonsense here.

From the linked article... The three counts referenced are the felony charges against Biden: one count of tax evasion and two counts of filing a false return. The other six charges he faces are misdemeanors. I wonder how many people are charged with Felonies for tax evasion and filing a false return?

Weird interview in that the two participants seemed to be in different locations, so the two-camera thing was distracting. I think this is first time I've ever seen Trump chuckle, when the interviewer suggested that things would be better if they did mushrooms in Congress. To me it seems like the same old, old Trump, rehashing his greatest hits, while not really saying anything that makes sense. At least it wasn't as bad as his Kanye West "interview". I'm not sure Harris would reach any voters who can be persuaded to vote for her on this podcast, and her time might be better spent campaigning fact to face.
