As much as Trump would love to run out the clock and get himself reelected so that he can pardon himself (at least from the federal charges), he has another problem.  There is still the question of whether or not section 3 of the 14th amendment applies.  My guess is that will likely be the first, and potentially more important, Trump related case to reach SCOTUS.

Of course team Trump is crying that states shouldn't be deciding constitutional matters, but it is the states that actually run their elections.

States rights!

It's been part of the new Republican agenda to weaken states and concentrate power in the executive branch, similar to other great nations like North Korea and Saudi Arabia.

Anybody remember this? 2017, Ed Sheeran was at the top of the charts, Resident Evil 7 came out and the Republicans tried to federalized voter data. No more worries about recounts or ballot corruption, the black fed truck picks up all the paperwork, drives away and the next morning they tell us who the new dictator is.

Maybe you guys should just patiently wait a few months to when Trump is in jail instead of continuously doubling down that he is in for it this time.

Oh understand, I am still sickened by the feeling that Trump, like Nixon, will get away completely free while everyone that supported him will go to jail.

I would like to see Trump brought to justice but right now the main priority is protecting our democracy from his violent, demented followers supporting Putin's pick for U.S. president.

Trump's supporters are evenly divided between the idiots who believe Trump's BS and those that actively want an autocrat to rule the U.S. so they can share in the power.

Anyone that doesn't believe that Russia is involved in the politics of other governments where it suits their interests is an absolute idiot. They've been involved in Venezuela, Brexit, U.S. elections and now the Czech Republic.

The SCOTUS already stated, thanks to the jackass, the writ was denied before judgment, so even they, being part of the everyone, do not know.

No, they only denied the move to expedite hearing the issue of presidential immunity which Trump should have wanted. The matter of immunity is not decided.

BTW. Trump has collected the most incompetent group of lawyers the world has ever seen. They fucked up paperwork, missed deadlines and fumble the most basic filings. It's pretty funny to hear Maganoids talk trash about Jack Smith.

LOL! Fabergé egg...

LOL! Fabergé egg...

I don't know what this stupidity is supposed to mean, but given that the Putin regime openly and publicly supports Trump, I think he's the Faberge egg. Bright Orange enamel encrusted with rosacea emeralds on gold leaf then when you open it, the Russian flag pops up and a music box mechanism plays "Gimn Sovetskogo Soyuza".

Not going anywhere?  The trial dates are already set.  That's somewhere, isn't it?

If they are going anywhere, then why is the jackass top-notch prosecutor making a jackassed argument in an arena out-of-turn?

One more time.  The question of presidential immunity is Trump's argument, not Smith's.  Smith just wanted to get the question answered as soon as possible.  Trump would rather drag the process out as long as possible.

If Trump's claim of absolute presidential immunity was valid, he should push the Supreme Court to rule quickly. If they found in his favor all the charges in all the cases would go away. But everyone knows it's a bullshit claim.

Even Trump's own people are shitting all over it.
https://www.thewellnews.com/law/trumps-republican-critics-ask-court-to-reject-his-absolute-immunity/

Now of course, absolute presidential immunity is a thing IN RUSSIA.
If it was a thing in America, Biden could just have Trump 'fall out a window.'

So far, the only thing that has failed is the prosecution. TIme, and time again.

It has not failed. In fact, more charges are coming. The stupid shit he pulled in Georgia, he also pulled in Michigan and Nevada. We got more audio tape.

We have Trump, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon on tape planning the stolen election lie. Fox News knowingly promoted the lie on TV with no proof and got sued for billions. The fake electors that Trump tricked into presenting fake paperwork are now facing federal charges so they are turning on him.
Guilanni will be bankrupted for the malicious lies he spread because he had no proof just like dumb Kraken bitch. Kari Lake is being sued for her lies and like Trump, Rudy and dumb Kraken bitch, she has no proof of anything. They are lying about everything, there is no 'Kraken", it isn't real.

The Republican party is corrupted on an institutional level and is being supported by the Russians in exchange for the Republicans supporting Russia's expansion in Europe.

The GOP debates were all about 'wokeism' and liberals grooming our children to be transvestites. They aren't worried about the children gunned down in streets which are being flooded with cheap, accessible guns. They don't care about the devastating cost of hospitals and health care. Their messaging is targeting the mentally vulnerable with lies, conspiracy and bullshit .

It boggles the mind that there are still idiots that listen and believe the ludicrous crap that these people spew. Really, at this point how stupid do have to be to defend any aspect of Trump's existence.

In the long run, the top-notch jackass will probably be found to have no legal standing to prosecute the case to begin with.

Oh...

I don't see how this will make a difference unless it happens in some purple or red states. And it will fuel the illusions of unfair persecution his zombie followers already buy into.

This is correct. We need Trump on every ballot in every state so we can beat him down in the most embarrassing landslide defeat in the history of this nation.

Otherwise, we're going to have to listen to these shitheads going on with their idiotic crap about ghost buses, Hugo Chavez and the liberal cabal for the rest of our lives.

Being a dictator has a market all its own...

Paul Jaskot, professor of art history and visual studies at Duke University, noted that “fascism and National Socialism in particular exerts a compelling imaginatory experience for many people, the thrill of violence in modern society, the idea of hyper-masculinity, what Susan Sontag once called ‘fascinating fascism.'”

That despite the original round of NFTs dropping significantly in value. Let's not forget that they are all morons.

So how much of their $99 per card investment have they lost?

The images of Trump are just like paintings of Stalin, Kim Jong Un, Chairman Mao. Trump's NFT's will hold their value just like other memorabilia from history's villains.

... and just like the rise of other dictators, it's fueled by the time, money and efforts of ignorant morons and the evil despots that manipulate them.

We need to get used to these pictures of Trump. If he gets re-elected, they will be everywhere, Billboards, TVs, painted on the sides of buildings. There will be no escape.

OK.. Let's try this thought experiment...

There's this dude floating naked in weightless vacuum. He's curled up holding his knees in his arms, floating there, and he has a forceful blast of diarrhea. The particles of fecal matter would give his rectum something to push against with no surrounding atmosphere.
The diarrhea would easily shoot out with forward moment and impinge some momentum to the guy's ass, moving him ever so slightly forward.  In fact, if the blast of diarrhea had enough force and volume, it could act as a directional thruster, like on an orbital satellite.

Even if you want to insist that no movement occurred, imagine that you are in a microscopic submarine riding in the dude's colon when he blasted out the diarrhea. Your tiny sub would become a space ship and ride on a wave of diarrhea at sub-relativistic speeds to reach the next star system in 100,000 years.

This is basic science.

Exhaust gas accelerates right.  Reaction applies a force left.  Force pair.  Can you specify where the RR Book denies this? 

And going back a couple of posts, can you clarify you meant Fig 1.5?  That's a garden sprinkler.

Figure 1-1, corrected.

The exhaust is part of the jet or rocket. You must have one thing reacting with an entirely separate thing, not just part of itself.

You and your nephew have some pretty big balls to stand up in public and say that Newton's 3rd law of physics isn't real. I'm sure you must have some amazing proof that will blow away centuries of science. Do you have any evidence that doesn't come from your own mind or from YouTube?

Donutz is still asking how jets move when he is supposedly a former jet engine mechanic (by the way my nephew is currently employed by United Airlines, having served over 10 years as a former Air Force jet engine mechanic). Jets too, form a plume in the pressurized atmoplane, allowing them to move.

lol   so... Does your nephew agree with you that rockets only work within the confines of an atmosphere? Did he learn that is his Air Force training? You two could challenge everything we know about physics.

If I throw a bowling ball while standing on a skateboard, did I move backwards because of air resistance?

This was all thoroughly debated in another thread and every example was proposed. An astronaut floating in space fires a shotgun, a catapult launching a rock, a dude in a vacuum sits on a hand grenade and doesn't move when it goes off... Apparently, our understanding of physics is all part of some liberal hoax cabal or something. Action80 and his nephew are the only ones who know the truth. You'd think that with such awesome knowledge that they'd be rich and famous engineers making $250,000 USD a year.

Decades of Trump's documented business ties to Russia, working to  compromise the election, full-on insurrection and now they expect me to take them seriously with this $1300 bullshit. That's the dinner bill at the club for Giuliani and his buddies, Lev and Igor (their actual fucking names).

Meanwhile to bring this thread back to its actual subject, Biden, let us reflect on what the nature of Fox News reporting would look like if they were talking about two Biden family friends that went to prison that were seriously named LEV AND IGOR!

It took them years to find a micropenis of evidence involving less dollars than Russia donated to the NRA under the Trump administration. Too bad they don't bring that same level of scrutiny to their own idiots like Trump and Santos. If they ask the Bidens about any of this, all they would have to do is quote the Trump Family Defense, "I don't remember."

The Democrats were quick to chase Menendez out of the Senate. But the Republicans were covering for a guy who lied about his mom being in 9/11 and his grandparents being in the Holocaust. The hypocrisy is particularly stark when you think about they would say if Biden gave the unhinged, gaffe-filled, speeches that Trump has given lately.

The Republicans want this done in private so they will be free to tell their mindless followers what Hunter Biden said instead of them hearing what Hunter Biden actually said. They did the same with other testimonies done in private. They don't give a shit about judicial integrity or protecting the process, they want to control the narrative to program their base of subnormal simpletons.

They understand that the Trumpians don't read and will never look at the transcripts of what's really happening. It's the same trick they did with the Mueller report. He told his idiot army that the report exonerated him and they believed him without one split second of fact checking or critical thinking.

The Republicans are going to lie about what Hunter Biden says. It what's they do. Fortunately, some of us are literate enough to find out the truth.
