Judge in Donald Trump Case Gets Dozens of Threats After Indictmenthttps://www.thedailybeast.com/judge-in-donald-trump-case-gets-dozens-of-threats-after-indictmentOf course, the "threats" weren't quoted or shown. I am getting tired of that.
The main argument against women’s suffrage was because they weren’t subject to the draft they didn’t earn the right to vote.
You may be right, I don't know... but most of the anti-suffragette arguments I read were that women were going to try and displace men's roles, and force men into women's roles. And... they were right.
Fox legal analyst Greg Jarret points out that Bragg's charges are facially defective. https://www.foxnews.com/media/bragg-violated-trumps-6th-amendment-rights-refusing-disclose-underlying-crime-legal-expertTL:DR version... In not naming the "other crimes" which elevated charges to felony level, Bragg violates the Sixth Amendment (the right to know what you're accused of). Motions to dismiss on this basis will carry lots of weight.Brad
You really think a Manhattan judge will dismiss the charges like that? He won’t care if it gets reversed instantly on appeal. There’s zero chance an elected judge in Manhattan will do anything to benefit Trump’s case.
WEST PALM BEACH, FL — Following a historic day when he was arraigned in New York on charges of 34 felony counts, President Donald Trump returned home to Mar-A-Lago and boasted that no other felon has ever been charged with this many felony counts in history."I am, without a doubt, the greatest felon ever charged," Trump said to a crowd of supporters gathered at his Florida home. "No other human being has received so many counts of so many felony charges, believe me. It's truly amazing, that's what people are saying. So many felony counts! So yuge!"
At publishing time, Trump was reportedly consulting with his inner circle to come up with a wide range of additional felonies he could commit to add to the list of charges, though D.A. Alvin Bragg would likely convert any violent offenses to misdemeanors.
"It definitely gives me peace of mind to know that they're focusing on Trump," said Jim Hargrave after handing over his wallet, car keys, and watch to a masked mugger who pointed a gun in his face. "With them going so hard after Donald Trump on what seem to be really insignificant charges, it really keeps the citizens of this city safe. You know, from the threat of falsified business records."
At publishing time, Mr. Hargrave was unavailable for further comment due to being chased home by a screaming man waving a samurai sword.
"Why should we waste time with Law & Order shows that deal with minor stuff like murder, organized crime, sexual assault, and other totally insignificant cases when we can go after the big stories like inaccurate business bookkeeping?"
Babylon Bee is on a roll today
My impression is that Bragg's seems to think each charge has the other 33 charges as the "other crimes."I think that's what one of my high school math teachers called "circular logic."
Speaking of, it's a bold, but maybe not bright move, especially during Holy Week, to compare Trump to Jesus.https://twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/2023/04/04/marjorie-taylor-greene-kicks-off-easter-early-by-comparing-trump-to-nelson-mandela-and-jesus/
In essence, prior to being charged, Trump did not possess a comfortable lead. But, Bragg’s fiasco looks like it might have just secured the former president his party’s nomination before a single primary vote is cast. The ridiculousness of these theatricals, especially given their legal merit, indicates that there might be some insidious purpose at play.If indeed this is the same out-of-the-box thinking that governed the Democrats’ strategy during the midterms, we could be witnessing a masterclass in subversive campaign strategizing.
Is Bragg playing 4D chess to get Trump the nomination to help Biden win reelection?I doubt that's his primary motivation but the overall game theory rings true.
The trick to that is that the Dems still need to find a likable candidate that can run a halfway competent campaign, or else they will get 2016 again.
I think Bragg is just clueless, arrogant, and Trump-obsessed. That's the simplest explanation for what he did. Occam's razor and all that...
They’ll just run the same game plan as 2020. They’ll win even if Kamala is the candidate.
Can't beat those ghost ballots.
