If you are shocked, you are everybody.
If you are surprised, you are alone.
The GOP has decided they are above the law, and the Democrats have decided they don’t have the energy anymore to hold them accountable, because they need to “get home to their families for Valentine’s Day”.
Amazing leadership we have, innit?
IIRC, 
, … should the Georgia AG bring & win a Prosecution of Electoral interference etc, he’ll be fcked anyway …
I’m quite sure he would have been impeached if it was a secret ballot. No Republicans (except for a few with a backbone) wanted the finger pointed at them by Trumpists.
If voting was done by secret ballots i am sure a lot of results would be different.
This message may send a message to American people who did not vote. Register and vote now if you don’t want this to occur. Because folks stranger things have happened.
The one that just married the billionaire or the other one who married the human cyborg?
Don’t hold your breath. Even IF the case is brought, and even IF it is won and even IF it survives appeals in lower courts, Trump will fight it to the Supreme Court where he his appointments will be unlikely to disappoint him.
The blonde.
I genuinely believe that the GOP tying their wagon to damaged goods like Trump will just hurt them in further elections. They needed to break away and reform because the route they’re going down will only further alienate the moderates and continue to motivate the left to register and vote on a massive scale. It’s probably going to take the GOP losing a stronghold like Texas for them to finally get the point. I just can’t see them winning an election legally for a long time, maybe they don’t plan to. In 3 and half years time when things have finally cooled after all the uncertainty, life has returned to a largely post-covid normality and the economy has recovered, is there really going to be a thirst for Trump style chaos? Will the ‘drain the swamp’ and Qanon s tyle messaging ring as loud? I don’t think so, people won’t be as vulnerable to it. The Trump ‘movement’ hasn’t ‘just begun’, it’s peaked. More than likely they’ll probably find him dead on a toilet before he can run for President again.
See that’s what I reckon most people are getting wrong, the vast majority of career (swamp) pollies on both side want this Guy negated, and the Judges have got their spots now and can never be removed, and I don’t think will give the tool one bit of deference.
In fact they likely had to shine his ego all the way to the point of hating themselves to get the gig, and therefore know him close p and better than most, , and therefore likely hate him much more than most as well, because of the way he no doubt would have made them grovel and pander to it…
They owe him nothing, and he can’t threaten them , at all.
GOPs who voted that trial should proceed (i.e. a past President could be tried):
Mitt Romney
Ben Sasse
Susan Collins
Lisa Murkowski
Pat Toomey
GOPs who voted to convict Trump:
The above, plus Richard Burr and Bill Cassidy.
So, to get to the quoted text, yes, it is possible to disagree with the first proposal but then agree with the second. We don’t know how many were like McConnell and agreed Trump was guilty but his time to be convicted had expired. But those others didn’t delay the trial until after the time expired…
You mean the one that had all that cosmetic surgery to make her look pretty for Daddy.
He will have to be wearing his MAGA cap so they can which turd is which.
I don’t know the answer, but can the Supreme Court rule on a purely State prosecution as opposed to a Federal one?
The Supreme Court can overturn a state ruling if a federal law is broken by the state law.
Too easy.
So convicting someone of a state crime you would think wouldn’t involve the Supreme Court, unless one of the defendants constitutional rights was violated.
Say Kentucky passed a law that was manipulated to charge a woman for having an abortion. If wasn’t obvious when the law was passed that it would be used that way, so wasn’t contested as soon as it was created. The woman is jailed, that charge counteracts Roe vs Wade, the Supreme Court would overturn it.
If there’s no federal law involved, the Supreme Court would choose not to hear it.
