Granny Danger Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 8 hours ago, Salt n Vinegar said: Trump being "clearly in much better mental shape" than Biden isn't setting the bar particularly high. Weren't the Kardashians born in the USA? I'm sure at least one of them would be up for it and surely their business success is just as impressive as Trump's (didn't he start off with more than he has now?) If Trump had cashed in all the money he inherited and invested it in an S&P tracker account he would now more wealthy than he actually claims to be. Mind you that would not salve his ego. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 11 hours ago, bigmarv said: Yet another bewildering thing about American politics is the notion that Republicans are better at running the economy than Democrats. The exact opposite is true, from Clinton leaving a budget surplus to Bush to the job numbers below: Perceptions and reality often diverge due to messaging and historical views. Republicans were at first the Party of Lincoln and then the Party of Businesses…now they are the Party of the Wealthy, but perceptions haven’t yet evolved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Judge Chutkin has issued an order for Trump to announce if he will use an “advice of counsel defense”. If he intends to, Trump is ordered to disclose all communications between Trump and his lawyers, in line with the statutory rules covering an advise of counsel defense…something that has to happen before the trial starts. This decision is required by January 15th, 2024 (the use of an advice of counsel defense includes a waiver of attorney client privilege), and on that date ALL attorney client communications between Donald Trump and his lawyers would be required to be handed over if they decide to use that defense…I expect they will not, since the guilty pleas in Georgia are an admission to the contrary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will, sadly, be shocked if he ever darkens the door of a jail cell. He’s had a pass so far for behavior that would have had anyone else tossed in the stir, and he will either drop dead, or be let off, is my prediction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect it to happen either, but I'll settle for him dying of natural causes while his disgrace and personal ruin is still fresh in the public consciousness. I want to see him face some sort of consequences for his behaviour, and I don't see death as a punishment because it's just part of the natural order of things and happens to us all. Humiliation, destitution, and an indisputable public record of his intransigence and compulsive lying. Incidentally, something I've always wondered is whether there is any method to strip him of, and prohibit him using the honorific "President". OK, can't undo the past and all that, but he is, was, and continues to be a complete and utter disgrace to the title and office, so I see it as somewhat akin to stripping a Savile-type of their Knighthood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not alone with that. America's full of judges and prosecutors who don't believe there should be any way for innocent people to be retried or freed if new evidence is uncovered, as it would undermine faith in the justice system. It's quite staggering the lengths some will go to keep people locked up for crimes they couldn't have committed. I particularly like the tactic of insisting that people have to go back to court and perjure themselves by admitting that they committed the crime in order to be released, or remain in jail for the rest of their lives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or an Arpaio voting Arizonan? Tons of them. Sheriff Joe was massively popular back in the day. Everybody knew his policies of abusing prisoners in some of America's worst jails and harassing non-whites on the street, and they thought it was hilarious. I'd guess we're maybe 10-20 years away from having similar political figures who'll encourage the polis to stop people who don't look caucasian enough and destroy any documentation they're carrying, and use prisoners as slaves in third-world conditions as a "deterrent" that doesn't work, but they need to get us out of the ECHR first. They'll be similarly popular, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
