Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Donald Trump now says that he never said, "Lock her up" regarding Hillary Clinton. That may technically be true, but obviously he nodded along as his supporters chanted it! Edited to add : nope, it's not even technically true. In 2020, he said "Lock up Hillary": https://twitter.c...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
A law in the state of Washington allows any registered voter to "challenge the right of a candidate to appear on the general election ballot" for certain reasons, one of which is that the candidate "was, previous to the election, convicted of a felony by a court of competent jurisdic...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
" 'My juror': Trump believed a loyalist on the jury could save him, until the very end ." Apparently this was not based on the incorrect claim that one juror was a Trump supporter because he followed Trump on Truth Social. (That juror said he read Trump's posts as shared on Twitter, and th...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
For better or worse, Michael Cohen is no longer holding back now that the trial is over. Today the regular CNN legal contributor Elie Honig wrote a piece in New York magazine arguing that Alvin Bragg's team "contorted the law" to win this case. Honig's column is being cited a lot by Fox Ne...

Re: US Supreme Court Discussions
"Neighbors say Alitos used security detail car to intimidate them after sign dispute" (The Guardian).
That said, it would be hard to prove why the security detail began parking in front of the neighbors' house rather than the Alitos' home.

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
The CBC reports that "Donald Trump would need special permission to attend next year's G7 in Canada."
Quite a few countries bar convicted felons from entry, so a President Trump would have a hard time traveling abroad.

The latter was part of the long term effort to attack the logistics of sending Russian supplies and troups to Crimea, whi...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Tucker Carlson this evening argued that Donald Trump was convicted because there weren't enough white people on the jury.
OK, he wasn't quite that explicit. What he said about the verdict was "Import the Third World, become the Third World." But I think my interpretation stands.

And the mainstream media will put decorum above the truth:
