I can't help but feel the weaponization of the justice system against Trump could backfire badly if it is televised.

 

He's going to be in his element and whatever you think of him it's hard to deny the man has charisma. The whole nation will be glued to it, Trump will be hilarious and there is no such thing as bad publicity, 

 

 

I hope that is the case. It would make for entertaining viewing.

Strengthened his position among Republicans.

As for his favorability ratings:

People get terribly excited about Trump's favourability ratings within the Republican Party.

 

That is not quite the same thing as his favourability ratings within the national  electorate.

Yay for reality TV!

He likely won't have to take the 5th. The Prosecution cannot call him as a witness.

Most see Biden as a liar protecting his son. They also know Clintons liars.

 

They saw Trump leading on election night the magically behind next morning.

Yup. Every time they come up with yet another attempt to legally prevent him standing for POTUS it increases his popularity. IMO more and more people are seeing through the bs and seeing it for what is really happening in an election cycle.

 

However, they should carry on making him more and more likely to win in 24.

Naaaaah, that's Fox NOT-news tripe. He's going down little by little in the polls. Nikki Haley put it so succinctly when she said "the GOP party can’t win a general election with Donald Trump as the nominee."

But wouldn't it be loverly to see that oaf in the witness stand being questioned by Jack Smith?

Yes. If Trump voluntarily took the witness stand in his own defense, he would not be able to plead the 5th and refuse to answer any questions on any cross-examine.

I'm no expert on court affairs, but I'm pretty sure that in court Trump will have to sit quietly and only speak when spoken to, or he will be restrained and removed.  Those who think the most important function of a President is entertainment will be disappointed.

 

If anyone who knows court procedures better than me has any corrections to make please do so.

I can see why  you choose to post from a bubble. The reason that the voting totals changes overnight in some states Biden's favor is the same reason voting totals changed to Trump's favor in other states. . It happens this way. In Iowa, mail-in ballots were counted in advance. That put Biden in the lead at first. As in-person ballots were counted that lead reversed. In states like Pennsylvania where mail-in ballots weren't counted in advance, Republicans started out with a lead. As mail-in ballots were finally counted, Biden took the lead. 

It's worth pointing out that Democrats in Pennsylvania knew that Republicans wanted this sort of outcome as a kind of backup in the event that Trump lost. That way, the myth of stolen elections could be promoted. Democrats in the legislature actually pushed for mail-in ballots to be counted ahead of time but Republicans refused.

Very strange post coming from someone who allegedly doesn't like Trump.. If Skeptic7 had made an election outcome prediction, then the photo might be relevant. But in this case, it looks remarkably like prospective gloating.

That's because that trend occurs in every election ever held since the dawn of time. Mail ion voters traditionally vote dem. Precisely the reason Trump disasterously decided to criticize mail in voting.

If the Trump trial is moved to Federal Court, it will not be televised.

I believe this is the very definition of trolling. If I gave two poops, I'd report it, but I think it's better as a testament to the quality of the person behind that gray curtain of internet anonymity.

Actually Ramaswamy has isolated himself in the Republican nominations Fox debate.

 

When the Fox News hosts asked the eight Republican presidential candidates on the debate stage last week who would not support continued funding for Ukraine, only Vivek Ramaswamy raised his hand.

Fine. But the topic here is: 
Trump trial in Fulton County will be televised, judge says

 

That is, if it is not moved to Federal Court.

Edited September 2, 20232 yr by jerrymahoney

Excellent. It will be fun to watch Trump squirm and to see his antics. My guess is the judge will have little patience for his juvenile behavior. Can we see it here? It would be great entertainment.
