In their never-ending quest for “balance,” mainstream media such as the WaPo rush, like white blood cells to a festering wound, to transform any Trump PR debacle, like the Arlington Cemetery disaster, into a political triumph:
Can’t think of anyone better equipped to take this on than Judge Chutkan. The central question the SC left completely vague is the dividing line between official and unofficial acts, and the most unofficial thing an incumbent president can do is become a candidate and run for a second term. But which acts fall on which side of the line? Chutkan will take a disciplined, professional stab at answering that question, including presumptively official interactions with Mike Pence in his role as President of the Senate in conducting the certification. Jack Smith has given her the ammunition.
It also seems likely that deciding immunity is step one before addressing any other outstanding motions. Less clear, but the superseding indictment is a slimmed down, focussed version of the original, so team Trump should not be able to argue they have a whole new case to prepare and that will take a decade or two.
I’ve seen a few complaints from state operations about the lack of RNC support. Also, a few state Republican parties are close to bankrupt. And TCF appears to have next to no presence in many states, depending entirely on local organizations to GOTV. It will be interesting to see if the Dems benefit from the lack of investment by the other side.
I am still baffled that so many people think a 34-time convicted felon who failed the job and was fired once already and plans on establishing fascism on day one is a good person to vote for.
Screwing a porn star, then lying about it while committing business fraud and leading a coup against the United States government are not actions covered by “presidential immunity” which is a fabrication not in the Constitution. Article 3, section 3 speaks of treason to which even a sitting president is not immune. I would expect therefore that lesser charges would also not receive immunity. But that’s just a nonlawyer jabbering
It’s not so much her pitch, which is iffy, it’s the quality of her voice that makes her sound almost manly. It’s just not a good sounding voice and she’s singing toward the bottom of her register which makes her sound like she has terminal laryngitis.
Bottom line, she’s not a singer. She couldn’t win a high school talent show.
Republicans definitely have a serious money problem. I couldn’t tell you where all the money’s going, but it’s not going to down-ballot candidates. They didn’t put much money in their convention either. I’m sure Trump is taking most of it.
