I was already tired of lefties meddling in Republican nomination contests. I didn't know I could be more tired.

From everything I'm seeing, the lefties badly want Trump to win the primaries. I guess they figure this will fire up his base?

IIRC that was their strategy in 2016

We are already headed over the edge. I want to see a redstate AG take down Holder and Obama for Fast and Furious and then lets just take out the sitting president and vice president for the southern border. Let's burn it all down. SMOD is too slow.

Former President Donald Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in an indictment from a Manhattan grand jury, according to two sources familiar with the case.

Earlier Thursday, a spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said the office has contacted Trump's attorney to "coordinate his surrender" for arraignment on "a Supreme Court indictment, which remains under seal."

"Guidance will be provided when the arraignment date is selected," it added.

Trump will likely appear in court early next week, his defense attorney said.

I think they'll drag this out all the way through the election.

If I were a Dem/lib, I'd be seriously concerned right now. If I were the Biden family, I'd be terrified. What Bragg has done is establish the precedent of indicting a former POTUS for criminal activity prior to holding office. Once Biden is out of office, a conservative prosecutor could easily Hunter Biden Laptop data, deep-dip it in this new precedent, and have a far better chance at an actual conviction than Bragg does with Trump.

  What this has established is that the transfer of power is extremely dangerous - the peaceful transition is supported by the idea we do not persecute the loser- when that goes away, why would the loser volunteer to be at grave risk? If they arrest Trump and put him in jail, there is a serious chance he will never leave- this is a gamechanger. There is now no reason for any president to step down, save by force.

An arraignment on a "Supreme Court indictment"?  Surely it doesn't have anything to do with the SCOTUS?  A DDG search only brings up Trump indictment stuff.  It must be bad journalisming.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

^^^No. In New York state, a Supreme court is the highest-level trial court that hears criminal and civil cases.  It is not an appellate court.  The highest-level appellate court in New York is called the Court of Appeals.

I just read that DeSantis said that Florida will not participate in any un-American extradition. Molon Trumpe.

I also suspect this is a ploy of the left to make Trump the candidate again, which he will probably lose again.

Maybe that is giving them too much credit.  But, intentional or not, I think that is going to be the result.

It would be nice if the Trump loyalist realized how miserably unelectable he is.

Especially now, as they could care less about any justifiable charges against him. The #1 thing they want is the booking mugshot, which will be on display all the way to NOV2024. They get that mugshot for life, even if he's found innocent.

The problem is that if he doesn't get the nomination, he seems quite willing to burn it all down either by running 3rd party or just lobbing bombs from the sidelines. I don't think Trump has a very good shot at winning another general election, but neither does any other republican if Trump is still around running his mouth.
In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

Been thinkin' about that mugshot. If he's smart enough, he'll put on a big smile. After all, that picture is going to be part of his campaign literature.

I will certainly give Trump props if he can 4D chess that thing.

Double points if he's wearing a MAGA hat. I presume there are rules against headwear for a mug shot, but he's a president, after all. He could probably get away with it.

I think it was Tom Delay that put on a huge smile for his mugshot, and wore a lapel pin that had some meaning as I recall.  Trump would do well if he did something similar.
