Politics Trump - What has he done now???

Donald Trump just had the best 24 hours in his tumultuous legal history

 

Click bait title, yes.

In all honestly many/some of the stories declaring NPD Trump's "serious setbacks" are also clickbait titles for exaggerated interpretations.

The piece isn't completely wrong, as an Op-Ed piece focusing narrowly on the 24 hours in question. In that time frame several things happened that are, and appear to be, major wins for NPD Trump.

Yes, those "wins" are diluted when you consider other factors outside of the 24 hour period.

 

^^^

After seeing the way NPD Trump acted towards John McCain, even many months after his death, I'm certain NPD Trump doesn't care that Halley's husband is in the military.


To me Morton Downey Jr seemed to alternate between playing a role and being more than a little crazy. And he frequently blurred the lines. I'm still tying to figure out if NPD Trump is completely blinded by his narcissism, or is a master manipulator putting on a show. Most likely both.

 

Our judicial system, much like our two (sometimes more) party political system, relies on people to show integrity and do the right thing. That leads to three large problems, which leads to more problems, etc, ad naseum.

1. Not all judges have backbones to make tough decisions. They would rather kick the cases up to higher courts than show some meaningful strength.

2 (2a). NPD Trump has exposed the fact many judges have political views, & has made it OK for them to openly display their biases.

3 (2b). Appointing federal judges across the states who have political beliefs they're willing to display weakens the judiciary, & definitely increases the delays in getting cases heard & closed.


I don't understand why
going after a former POTUS
is considered to be
such a BFD.

 

It looks like the Georgia case may be fucked.
Fani Willis is accused of having a relationship with a special prosecutor that she hired.
She could be removed from the case and it means 45 will have an out.

Could Georgia's Fani Willis be removed from prosecuting Donald Trump?

 

I don't see a thread dedicated to NPD Trump's NY Fraud trial.

Live updates: Decision reached in Trump civil fraud trial


And let's show some balance...FauX News.

Since several things have happened involving NPD Trump I'm putting a general plea in this thread.

Can we (please!) get this conman & dictator king wannabe in court again well before the 2024 presidential election?

Things are looking good that it might actually happen.

 

I saw a report on the news basically stating if Willis removed, the new prosecutor won't pursue the case.

I have mixed views. Her personal relationship with Wade shouldn't be a factor, as long as the legal work is on the level.

OTOH putting Wade on her payroll as a special prosecutor while involved in a personal relationship with him does show a serious lapse in judgement by Willis. The personal relationship also adds fuel to the argument Wade is a hired gun, with even more incentive to 'get Trump.'

The bad news is the Repubs have a good argument calling Willis' competency at making professional decisions into question. A motion to remove her from the case isn't that farfetched.

We see the hypocrisy in how the Repubs view NPD Trump's actions. Are we being hypocritical in how we view Willis possibly being removed from the case?


A possible compromise: Agree to remove Willis, with the case against NPD Trump continuing.

 

I'm don't trust Forbes, esp after they admitted to be knowingly mislead by NPD Trump.*

Is NPD Trump worth $400M? With all of his troubles, and losses during covid, it's surprising to hear his previous liquid assets estimate of $180M-$220M is now $400M.

With that said...it's still possible NPD Trump could go broke. If he has something to offer those in the position to help him, probably not. If he's on a downward spiral and the rats know to jump ship, maybe (hopefully!) so.


* NPD Trump got on the phone with one of their reporters trying unsuccessfully to disguise his distinctive while pretending to be a nonexistent financial officer. The reporter knew this and still allowed himself to be bullied into accepting the fake financial documents at face value. This was approved by his editor and other higher-ups at Forbes.

Edit: I don't know why the link is causing space problems.

 

I agree 100%.

The thing is I have to say her removal could be justified. I could act like a Repub and be a hypocrite, but I can't: Her critics have a legit point. This goes beyond simply giving a romantic interest a job.

Again OTOH...if all actions have been legal and by the book, with competence by the prosecution and the special counsel, continuing as is could be justified.

 

We're looking a double edged sword that could cut either way with equal justification.

NPD Trump is going through legal procedures rife with loopholes, esp when dealing with spineless judges and pro-Trump judges. The various delays tactics total suck (I wish someone would get the damn trials started), but they are allowed.

Fani Willis is undergoing an investigation, led by Repubs with vested interests in protecting NPD Trump who basically don't answer to anyone.

Let's reverse the situation:
How would we react if
a Repub Attorney General
in a well known Dem state
was going after Biden,
then this news broke
about that Repub AG?

I know that I would
question their integrity and be in
favor of tossing them off the case.

And if I think Willis should remain on the case, while thinking the opposite if the siuation were reversed, that could? would? make me a hypocrite.

Sometime the blurred lines are easy to trip over.
