Majority of Americans concerned about Biden’s mental health: new poll
Jingthing replied to Scott's topic in World News
Personally I think Amy Klobuchar would be the strongest. She's much more likeable than Harris who let's face it has turned out to be a DUD, and it really is finally time for the first woman president. Yes, not perfect and not progressive enough for the far left, but so what? 11 Democrats who could replace Joe Biden in 2024 | CNN Politics Then there's Gavin Newsom. He does look like a president from Central Casting. -

You wish it would be that easy for Republicans to win but that's just a pipe dream. Also Biden is a much stronger candidate than Harris. If Biden doesn't run there will be an open democratic primary. -

It comes down to two choices. If Biden runs again and the Republicans put up Trump again Biden will win again. As things stand now Biden will run again and the Republicans will put up Trump again if he can manage to dodge incarceration. There are many issues. The economy of course but also immigration, Ukraine, China, abortion, LGBT rights, health care, climate, inequality, housing, and probably most importantly democracy vs. autocracy. -
The indictments are coming and they will be proven or not. I find your arguments absurd and lacking appreciation of the special situation of a deeply criminal ex president.who has dodged consequences all his life with corruption and clever legal tactics only on offer to the rich. The Mueller investigation as well as the two impeachments weren't criminal investigations. Now he is subject to.actual criminal investigations. You say you aren't a trump guy and readers are expected to believe that. This is getting tiresome. JUST WAIT. Agree to disagree End of.

I reckon the original intent was to teach applicants about the balance rules the hard way. Then if it was discovered that the applicant messed up upon the next extension they could blame it fully on the applicant. But the balance rules have been in effect for many years already. I guess there might be some utility to give the order on the first extension. Anyway doing the report is not necessary. Believe it or not.

There is no need to comply with this show money report There is a need to comply with 90 day address reports. Those two things are not related in any way. You do need to follow the balance rules though or you will be rejected for your next extension. They are at least 800k for two months before extension application, at least 800k for three months after extension granted, and at least 400k for the rest of the year. Do the show money report if you insist but it is not necessary. If you do you will receive no receipt of compliance and more than likely a look that says what a goody two shoes that wasted his time.

He couldn't be indicted while in office. January.6 and the Atlantic find me the votes thing happened at the end of his term. The documents thing happened after his term. Where are we? I'm not going to own making you aware of all of that. We can all watch any indictments and convictions happen as they occur. If you're suggesting that there is nothing to indict about you are welcome to that opinion. Cheers.

Stick a fork in him, he's done? Well, hopefully. But in any case Trumpism is far from dead. The republican man in waiting DeSantis is a Trumpist in waiting.

Your post is all over the place but yes of course convicting with jury trials is unpredictable. It just takes one juror to stop that as I know full well as I hung a jury myself. Garland is careful and clearly understands that indicting a former president will be historic. The cases need to be perfect. In general (there are MANY potential charges) a particularly difficult challenge is to prove criminal INTENT beyond that crimes were done. The New York case will be much easier to prove being a civil case. However, there will be referrals to criminal charges emerging from this civil case. The Atlanta case also nothng to do with Garland is proceeding towards indictment as well. There are more. He will be indicted on at least one felony charge coming from any of these places, most likely more, but again you are correct indictment isn't conviction.

Well even if best case scenario Russia does a 180, the damage is done and Ukrainians will be hostile towards Russia for generations. Putin claims Ukrainian identity separate to Russian identity should not exist. Arguably Putin has been a grand champion of strengthening Ukrainian national Identify. The amount of long term damage that Putin has done to his own country is awesome. You can't just instantly reverse pariah status.

That seems excessive but if that happens it won't only be Moscow, it will be Europe and the USA too and nuclear winter. War game models have shown if you start with one tactical nuke, it always leads to the worse case full on MAD result. That doesn't prove that will happen in real life, but it's not encouraging.
-
What Trump faces is much more serious even if they can't prove damage. It sounds like you haven't really followed this case closely. Also the documents are just a part of the potential charges against trump regarding the insurrection and election crimes as in Georgia. At this point there is zero doubt he will be indicted on at least one felony crime, likely multiple. As far as the secret service thing, yes, that's the point. Secret service can't operate in prison and if convicted that will be a big part of the reason why they can't send him to prison.

Crimes were obviously committed by Trump at Mar Lago with the documents. I am not a court of law but anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that already. My understanding is that as an ex president secret service protection is still required for life. A president has never been locked up. Where did you hear that a convicted president loses his right to secret service protection? Yes this topic is specifically about the New York case regarding his persistent business corruption, which yet again, anyone with an ounce of common sense already knows that he's guilty.

We can't really know what Putin is exactly thinking but it is documented that he is obsessed with what happens to toppled dictators like Gaddafi. He's fighting not only for his own political power survival and legacy but also for his own life. How much does he really case beyond his own life which indeed is probably over if he is forced to give up power? We can't know and there is a big danger there. If he doesn't care at all, what's it to him if he blows up the world?

A perp walk? Probably never. They'll spare him that for political reasons. Prison? Probably never. Same reasons including the need for secret service protrection. Incarceration at Mar Lago instead. Felony Indictments? Definitely. More likely after the midterms. Felony convictions? Probably but it only takes one trumpist juror to hang. This civil case in the news doesn't involve "the" AG, but rather the New York AG.
