And who can forget

Quote:

Copa, Copacabana
His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished,he called her over
But Rico went a bit to far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?

dola

I mean, say he decided not to run again. He'd be holding rallies in Red America where he could just trash Biden, and the crowd would be chanting "Run Again! Run Again!"

And every GOP hopeful would be coming by constantly to kiss his ring and tell him how great he is and beg for his endorsement.

It would be the life he always wanted. And he had it. In hand. And he couldn't keep it.

Shakespeare-level fatal flaw.

Heck, without the post-election craziness he would have a much better chance of winning in 2024.

Hope they do a GA poll soon on the indictment. I'd like to know the split

Taking the docs isn't even the issue. If he had given them back he would be fine.

The damage he has done in servitude to no one but himself will be irreparable for decades.

I suspect he is individual 1 and in cooperating.

Hilary should be smart enough to stay far away and let things run their course. I voted for her (easy decision against Trump) so it's not an anti-Hilary stance. It's that nothing good will come of it.

As Hilary above this stuff is stupid. Just report the facts, let Trump spew his bullshit denials/threats/"perfect calls" etc. and keep digging the hole deeper. I watched a clip on youtube from msnbc and was happy to see almost somber faces along with facts. Lasted about half the clip before the reporter's smiles started to bubble up. Mocking and "I told you so's" is not the way to go here.

There really was no excuse after he released his comprehensive Healthcare plan

I guess The Four Seasons {retirement community} nearby was booked.

GrantDawg 08-15-2023 12:00 PM

Lawyers, what is most likely to derail the Georgia case? My guess is the timeline on the Jan 6 case. If the Georgia DA can hit her hopeful timeline of 6 months, that would put it right at the hopeful timeline of the Jan 6 case. That would mean the Federal case supersedes the state case right? They have the Superiority there?

Brian Kemp's response:

Ghost Econ 08-15-2023 02:36 PM

Kemp is trending on Twitter and the mentions are as insane and discouraging as you could imagine.

MJ4H 08-15-2023 03:02 PM

Twitter is a right-wing cesspool. Entirely as expected. Can't believe everyone (sane) hasn't just left it to rot yet.

GrantDawg 08-15-2023 03:29 PM

Never claimed I was sane.

Mark Meadows is the first to file asking the case be moved to Federal Court. I think it is likely to happen, at least for him and Trump.

I know less than nothing about law, so take it with a few tons of salt, but have read that even if the case moves to federal court it will still be tried according to Georgia law and pardon is practically impossible.

GrantDawg 08-15-2023 04:42 PM

Yeah, it just widens the jury pool and increases the chance he gets a more favorable judge. Reading more about it, it look like Meadows and Clark will have a good shot at getting it moved to a Federal Court. Trump might have more of an issue because one of his charges stems from actions after he left office.

Not versed on the law but isn't it to protect federal employees that do something in their official job. Like if California wanted to charge a President with involuntary manslaughter because a decision they made on forest management led to the death of people in a fire.

These crimes were committed outside their official roles.

RainMaker 08-15-2023 05:41 PM

I also find it funny how these people are learning how fucked up conspiracy charges can be in this country. Government used to do some incredibly sketchy shit to charge people who maybe took a message for a drug dealer or let a criminal rent a room from them.Now when conspiracy is used against them, they're up in arms about how unfair it is.

miami_fan 08-15-2023 06:19 PM

This had a chance to be one of the greatest sentence ever written and the one to optimize this story. If we ever get anything close to an accurate portrayal of history, I hope someone makes the necessary edits.

Original.

This is not the first major RICO case filed by Willis since taking office in 2021. In May 2022, she brought charges against 26 individuals including the Grammy Award-winning rap artist Jeffery Williams, also known as Young Thug, for allegedly leading a violent street gang known as Young Slime Life (YSL). Williams, like Trump, maintains he is innocent.

She also used RICO (successfully I might add) in the Atlanta Public School cheating scandle.

Yes. The charges that are based on the bail fund.

I'm sure this is fine.


Flasch186 08-16-2023 03:02 PM

I’m sure that they’re just going to March over to their houses peacefully to discuss democracy

But again

You can’t assume anything from their past actions and or statements

Only what they do and only after the fact and maybe in courts to figure out the intentions

All it does is feed the narrative and that's what his people want, and what drives Qanon.


All they need is *part of the story. They use imagination, and fill in the rest of the blanks with information that "fits" their narrative, so it all makes sense.

That's what drives all conspiracies frankly. Sort of like a game of Mad Libs, where ignorance is the fill in the blank part, and they add in whatever their brain cell said that makes it fit. Then they sell that to the masses on the internet, and someone else's brain cell agrees and now you have a conspiracy.



Here, he clearly has the answers, and solutions, just like he did with healthcare and fixing every other thing, but "they" won't let him do it. So it's not his fault, he's still perfect, and someone else is the foil.

It's the entire playbook, over and over again.

They actually set a bond in Fulton County. They also set bond conditions that I will guess he will break by this evening.

Lathum 08-21-2023 03:50 PM

He will break them by the time his car hits the first stoplight.

Thomkal 08-22-2023 09:10 AM

As he gets ready to turn himself in on Thursday, he is what he had to say about the bail conditions:

He can't help but post whatever is flitting through his brain, so he has definitely contemplated running.

Staying and fighting is still probably the smart strategic play for him, but it is interesting that running has crossed his mind.

Thomkal 08-22-2023 10:25 AM

John Eastman has been booked in Georgia after having to ask to pause his disbarment proceedings in CA because he had to turn himself in.

GrantDawg 08-22-2023 10:43 AM

Listening to court action, it is never great when a defendant needs a continuance because they have to answer to another court.

The emails showing contacts between the Secret Service and the Oathkeepers should be a major scandal.
