    Trump's little stable geniuses are just overflowing with ideas.

    MAGA supporters call for Gov. DeSantis to deploy National Guard to protect ex-president at Mar-a-Lago from possible arrest and plan a 'Patriot Moat' at Florida mansion - as GOP chiefs accuse Manhattan DA of 'abusing his power'
    • Trump supporters are demanding that Ron DeSantis refuse to extradite the former president to New York
    • Some are even demanding he call in the National Guard, as fans say they will surround Mar-a-Lago and block traffic
    • The former president urged his supporters to 'protest, protest, protest' as he claimed he will be arrested Tuesday on criminal charges

    He did have a pretty robust propaganda network supporting him.

    Fox News? They turned their backs on him, for the most part.

    Biden will collapse the economy and he will suspend elections, indefinitely.

    Former DOJ official: Trump remark ‘has the effect of poisoning’ jury pool
    BY STEPHEN NEUKAM - 03/19/23 1:33 PM ET
    SHARETWEET

    Anthony Cole, a former Department of Justice (DOJ) official, said on Sunday that former President Trump’s remarks about his possible looming arrest in New York was an attempt to “intimidate local prosecutors” and would “poison” the jury pool.

    “What I think is happening here is [Trump] trying to, number one, intimidate local prosecutors and number two, I think it also has the effect of poisoning a jury pool,” Cole, who used to head the DOJ’s Department of Public Affairs, said in an interview with Jonathan Capehart on MSNBC."

    Cole said on Sunday that the former president’s “incendiary rhetoric” troubled him the most.

    “The thing that troubles me the most about what we saw over the last 24 hours is this type of incendiary rhetoric,” Cole said. “It’s … something we have of course seen before on Jan. 6 leading into the violent attack on the Capitol.”

    And China will swoop in to rescue us (for the small fee of our freedoms).

    The jury pool has already been poisoned. There's no way Trump will get an impartial jury in New York.

    How is he being held to a different standard?
    So you're saying the DOJ shouldn't charge Trump because they charged Edwards for a similar crime but later dropped the charges after he was found not guilty? I'm not sure you thought that through.

    Most lefties don't care about fairness under the law. They just desperately feel the need to "get" Trump no matter what rights are ignored.

    These are all theories, but they're not really reality. Regardless of what the Russians would like to achieve, they're not anywhere close to achieving those goals now. And the result is a deadly quagmire between the Ukrainians and the Russians. While the Russians are more than content to engage in such a quagmire, the Ukrainians cannot afford a war of attrition.

    Furthermore, US/Western participation in Ukraine does not impede Chinese aggression in Taiwan. Taiwan is a civil war that's gone on since the end of WWII for the CCP. Regardless of Russia's success or failure, China will move ahead. All reports expect a military assault by 2027. So we're running precious short on time and we're wasting that time in the Battle of Ukraine.

    The more the Russians, Americans, etc are all occupied in Ukraine, it will make incorporating the Taiwanese easier, and perhaps without a fight. For China, the longer the war lasts the better. And by the time China has reclaimed Taiwan and asserted her dominion over the contested sea areas, it will have been too late.

    So this noble idea that fighting in Ukraine means protecting our Pacific Front, is built on naive idealism that's not based on the facts on the ground.

    Does anyone really think they can 'gag' Donald Trump? Even if by chance he somehow obeyed the order, he'd have information conveniently leaked to people he trusts with media access and he'd have plausibility denial.

    Do you think if Trump has a deadlocked jury that the Manhattan DA will drop the charges? We both know that won't happen...lol

    No one is denying that Covid was his Waterloo moment, but he already had a record beyond subpar performance.

    I doubt his performance would have been critical to his candidacy, again outside of covid. Covid was the critter that greatly impacted all areas of our life from financial to social. People can tolerate a certain downturn in their financial conditions, but take away their social life and they won't be so tolerant if they think you're at fault for it. Biden and the democratic machine ran on the argument that under Trump's handling of covid we were worst off than we ever were before. Biden promised to get rid of covid and blamed Trump for what we suffered. It was a winning strategy for democrats and yet Trump still managed to pick up more votes in 2020.

    You dont understand. If Trump out of his own pocket or Corp pocket paid a printing company $130,000 to print Trump/Pence 2016 campaign posters, the election laws would consider that a Campaign contribution to his own Presidential campaign that must be reported. And recording the expenditure as legal fees instead to disguise its benefit for the campaign, would violate the same state laws for falsifying records. The prosecutor's theory is that $130,000 hush money to Stormy is purely for the benefit of the Trump campaign, like campaign posters, and therefore is a $130,000 campaign contribution that must be reported.

    I was mistaken. One party consent is okay. Unethical for sure for a lawyer, but Cohen is a snake. So is Trump. So is Biden.

    Hokay, Daniel Webster. That's a basic violation of campaign finance law violation.

    It was a violation for Cohen to make the in-kind donation?

    It was a violation for Trump to use campaign funds to pay Daniels?

    Pick one. You can't have it both ways.

    If you go with the second option, it's just a misdemeanor.

    Whining about Democrats does not address the topic regarding the Cry Baby Loser being indicted for his crime, nor the Loser's attempt to use it to wee wee up his weird worshipers.

    He is not above the law.

    The Loser's paying hush money to a bimbo with whom he rutted behind the back of a trophy wife before the election was not illegal.

    Yes, his claiming his payoff as a campaign expense was a misdemeanor, and he should expect to be charged accordingly.
