Well, that pure as the wind-driven snow prosecutor in Georgia has thrown the looseleaf binder at Trump. The binder snapped open, sending paper flying every which way. Without the paper to add mass to it, the binder would have simply bounced off his chest, no harm done, but Trump picked up the binder and stuck the corner of it in his eye.
That'll show her!
What a circus. Good Lord, I hope DeSantis wins the presidency and we can return to some amount of sanity.
PowerLine has a good summary of the charges against Trump. Essentially, he was talking nonsense about the election all along, but talking nonsense isn't a crime.
The indictment sets out in detail statements that were made by the defendants about voter fraud in Georgia and other states, all of which are alleged to be false. Of course, in the wake of the election, there were many claims of voter fraud. Some of these proved to be true, I think, while others proved to be incorrect. But so what? It is not, in general, a crime to make false statements. If it were, Washington would be a ghost town.
That might be fine if Trump said as much, but he's not. He's threatening to release the kraken again and you know how well that worked last time.
So we can all look forward to that.
My bet is that at 1100 ET next Monday, there will be a Trumpian meltdown and no evidence worth the name will be revealed. All it will do is turn more people away from him and that's a good thing.
Methinks the Democrats have overplayed their hand, driven by hatred as they are. The wiser Ds know they can beat Trump in the election, even with Biden concealed in his sarcophagus. The foolish ones just want to see Trump behind bars. As the Trump circus gets more and more out of control, the odds of my man DeSantis winning the nomination increase. DeSantis is a serious leader and I think he would win the general election. To me, it looks like the Democrats are giving into their id and handing the nomination to their worst nightmare.
Yes, Trump may not be quite his own worst enemy, but only because he has made so many others.
ReplyDeleteIf Trump does manage to crash and burn himself, it may not be DeSantis that takes his place. The people placing bets are currently giving a slight edge to Ramaswamy for the nomination:

If Ramaswamy does get the nomination, and something happens to Biden, then strictly from an aesthetic point of view, I think the Democrats should go with Buttigieg. If only to hear newscasters try to say "Ramaswamy versus Buttigieg" without stumbling over their own tongues.
I said for quite some time that it is going to take moderate democrats to save us from this political circus. I'm curious about the 'No Labels" party. Sounds like democrats are trying all their dirty tricks to keep them off the ballot. I haven't found much details on them, other than their own preaching.
ReplyDeleteI heard the following on Garage Logic last week, it came from another listener:
If a political party does not have, as its foundation, the determination to advance a cause that is right and moral; then it is not a political party. It is merely a conspiracy to seize power.
