Well, unless that judge is a liberal in 2023 America of course.

Stop party-baiting

What possible effect does it have to start the very day before "Super Tuesday"?.  Most campaigning takes place in the months and weeks prior, not the very day before.

To say it as you told it to us:

 

GOP-plonkers -  "Move along please. Nothing to see here".

 

Other members - like placeholder - explained it why !

 

Plenty to see. Rich bankers, shonky Democrats going after Trump with frivilous charges and an unethical biased judge appointed by climate shonk Obama.

Taking a lead from bignoc, who can determine the character of a person by looking at a pic........well this pic certainly shows up the low life, dumb MAGA goombas in their true colours. I would pity them, but they are happy in their cultish ignorance and stupidity. Sad, so vey sad.

Well, the reason Trump buried his burnt-("I say, Sit!")- orange face deep, deep in the cushioned backseat of his motorcade was probably to avoid the excruciating scrutiny of bignoc "face reading" talent! Compare this Trump-brand of "bravado" to that of Marie Antoinette, though she knew not for long, held her head high on her cart ride to the scaffold.

It’s what a cult does: blindly follow their leader, defend him at all cost and attack anyone who thinks differently. Facts mean absolutely nothing to them, they live in their own reality.

After Hitler killed himself at the end of April in 1945 and the news got out, hundreds (maybe even thousands?) of German army officers (especially SS, but also ‘regular’ Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine) also committed suicide, because apparently their life had lost all meaning now that their dear leader was gone and because of that, there was no more hope for their beloved Fatherland.

It is just astonishing how completely brainwashed people can get, and the sacrifices they are willing to make as a result of that.

What amazes me about Germany is how much they seem to have taken their history understood it the why and whereas ect came out of that to build their great and proud nation from the ashes they have my profound respect and admiration let us pray the majority of U.S. Americans can rise to the challenge and flush trump and trumpisum down the toilet were it belongs and continue to improve our country

Liberal judge uses the justice system to derail right wing politician during election campaign against Liberal opponents.

 

Liberals - "Move along please. Nothing to see here". ????

More trumpette whining with the same bs excuses and blind to the facts of what a slimey POS trump is. Probably doesn't matter anyway as he's very close to getting eliminated from being able to run anyway due to his involvement and actions in the Jan 6th debacle.

"Capitol hill protest"

 

It was an attack on Capitol Hill and attack on democracy itself but you must have missed that.

 

Many of those already convicted have directly accused Trump as the reason they took part.

 

In July 2023, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington published an analysis showing that 174 defendants said they believed they were following Trump's request.

 

"Another rioter stated in her guilty plea that she marched on the Capitol specifically after hearing Trump encourage Pence to "do the right thing."[87] In April 2022, a defense lawyer for one of the rioters told jurors that Trump had been "using his position to authorize this assault."[88]"

 

Pamela Hemphill pled guilty to demonstrating in a Capitol building. In May 2022, she was sentenced to 60 days in jail and 36 months' probation. In 2023, Trump publicly claimed her sentence was harsh. In response, she tweeted: "I pleaded guilty because I was guilty!" She told reporters: "It's a struggle trying to get away from gaslighting, Trump's narcissism and all the tactics they use... It was scary to leave the cult."

 

Not surprising that the NAACP have initiated this lawsuit considering that Trump election lawsuits targeted areas with large Black, Latino populations.

 

You are aware that there are also Police Officers who have filed lawsuits?

Here's yet another civil case and this one starts in just 34 days time.

 

Judge Won’t Let Banks and Insurers Hide Their Trump Docs

Banks and insurance companies trying to keep the public in the dark about their business dealings with Donald Trump ran into a ray of legal sunshine on Tuesday, after a judge ruled that he wouldn’t seal records in the run-up to the New York Attorney General’s upcoming trial against the real estate mogul.

A handful of firms associated with Trump made a last-ditch effort to hide documents that detailed the way they unwittingly became part of the Trump Organization’s alleged scheme to inflate assets. But the judge, Arthur F. Engoron, ruled that—aside from information like the home addresses of certain employees and bank account numbers—the public has a right to see the documents and communications.

I will take the ‘unwittingly’ part with a grain of salt here and there, since some of those companies probably knew very well what they were getting into.

Bias? Latest news: Mark Meadows FOLDS on the stand in Georgia and implicates Trump. 

Seems he hung himself.

 

I'm wondering if he deliberately opened himself up in the way he did to give the prosecution ammo. He has done so without being a "snitch". Maybe this is the first step in a long game strategy of becoming a witness for the prosecution. Because he has done noone on the defense any favours with his time on the stand.

Mark Meadows struggles to distance himself from Trump’s plot

August 29, 2023 at 1:04 p.m. EDT

 

The testimony also created some challenges for the prosecution. 

 

Raffensperger is supposed to be a key witness for the prosecution. But while the prosecution has charged Meadows with unlawfully pressuring Raffensperger, Raffensperger said of Meadows’s conduct on the call, specifically, “I didn’t think it was inappropriate.”

 

Meadows also pointed to two alleged errors in the indictment.

 

Meadows opted to testify at a time when he doesn’t know precisely what evidence the prosecution has on these fronts. But to the extent the indictment itself contains errors, that would be an inauspicious sign for the prosecution, at the least.

Trump inflated net worth by more than $2 billion in one year, N.Y. attorney general alleges

In Wednesday's filing, prosecutors said that defendants had “falsely inflated by billions of dollars” the value of various assets listed on Trump’s annual statement of financial condition — his own personal financial report card — which falsely puffed up his overall net worth.

According to calculations submitted by prosecutors, Trump routinely overstated his personal financial condition by between 17% to nearly 39% from 2011 to 2021, and he overstated his personal financial condition by 17% to 31% while in office.

During his first year in office, prosecutors allege that Trump overstated his personal wealth by over $1.1 billion dollars and subsequently overstated his financial condition by $1.9 billion in 2018.
