It won't help that the Trumpier politicians are by definition crooks.
But checking up.

Seeing a fair few dems including some jail time.

Seems a useful response to those they're only getting him because he's a republican bits. But of course it'll be in one ear and out the other as they grasp for more excuses.

There is a sitting US Senator who is a Democrat being charged with all sorts of crimes and being pressured to resign by his own party.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

At least, they are asking him to resign.

My uncle, also Canadian, is the same. He's a Fox news guy and feels this is nothing but a political vendetta against Trump.

Wish he was already gone.

Came across this on Twitter I thought I'd post it for OvB's benefit:

Quote from: Barrister on June 01, 2024, 11:49:09 PMThis is a fairly recent phenomenon (the whole Trump thing) so while I usually try to change topics, today I'm like "well here's the case - what exactly was false about it"?  So he couldn't deny any of the facts, but ultimately it was "well if he wasn't a Republican he wouldn't have been charged in the first place".

At the SAME TIME as Trump was being tried, Senator Menendez was (and still is) being tried across the street in the federal courthouse.

But I waste my breath.  This attitude isn't and never has been about the facts.

Sorry see Habs already said the same thing.

Trump now says he never said "lock her up".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Is this good or bad? Surprising or expected?

Clip says little chance of the trial concluding before the election.  Bad.

This is the case presided over by the Trump appointed judge who clearly was doing everything to help him out, is that right? Cannon, IIRC.
