Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

As expected, Trump is responding to the DA's attempt to hold him responsible for his escalating attacks on Judge Merchan's daughter but requesting permission to renew his motion to recuse Judge Merchan.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

Michael Cohen, Hope Hicks ... can we go for the hat trick and get Giorgi Rtskhiladze into the flow? So far as I know, Giorgi Rtskhiladze doesn't have anything to do with this case, and Judge Merchan has repeatedly banned any material related to the Mueller report from being introduced into evidence.

Re: The Murder of George Floyd and the Response To It

It's a good question, that I don't really have a good answer to. Depending on the specific laws in the jurisdiction where it took place, I would think that a good argument could be made that you were legally justified. Whether it succeeded is another question. And as is so often the case when it com...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread

The 22nd amendment only limits the number of elected terms and vacancy filling terms, not the number of terms obtained by other means. That raises an interesting point. Could he in theory run technically as the VP and have the nominal candidate for president resign so that he could become president?

1. Since the Last Supper was actually a Passover Seder, why does Easter not coincide with Passover?

2. Among the administration's that used the non-discrimination language was the Trump administration.
