A big +1. Like there is some sort of justice for trying to orchestrate an overthrow of ]my government and the traditional peaceful transfer of power. My only reservation is at the state level, this sort of action will be weaponized juxtaposed to the federal level, where the stakes can be forgiven by a corrupt executive branch monitored by henhouse foxes in Congress and questionable courts.

Oh, the irony!
The attorney running the Republican National Committee’s “election integrity” effort has been criminally charged by the state of Arizona for her efforts to help Donald Trump steal the 2020 election. This turn of events highlights the Orwellian meaning of the phrase “election integrity,”

Yes but these people are criminals. We can have the actual president associating with actual criminals who tried to steal the election back for him.

Seriously though you play with trump you get burned. That people aren’t seeing it is truly baffling .

I'm sure there were, but there are a ton of stories about Trump loyalists who bought in and are losing money hand over fist.
To Trump's most diehard supporters, investing in the scam is akin to making a political donation to his reelection campaign.

Meanwhile, Trump and TMTG's executives are already making moves to cash out, likely leaving investors out to dry.

Despite an ocean of red flags, investors are sticking to their figurative — and possibly literal — guns, treating the plummeting stocks as a fire sale.

"I think daddy Trump has some surprises for us, we just have to be patient and wait for it," one Truth Social user wrote. "[No further action] but I'll buy more tomorrow. Gotta love the price."

9 Felony counts in Arizona for Meadows!
The Associated Press reported first on Wednesday that the state’s attorney’s general office confirmed Meadows was being charged with nine felony counts and has been served.

Mike Lee feels that it is vitally important to stop non-citizens from voting...even though there is not a single shred of evidence that it's actually happening.

How quickly they all forget that Trump specifically created an "Voting Integrity Commission" whose entire job it was to find evidence of illegal immigrant voting (of which they claim there were multiple millions of instance), ballot harvesting, and other forms of widespread voter fraud.

That commission disbanded after two years after they found exactly nothing substantial to report.

So instead of even pretending to actually prove that any fraud is happening/has happened, they're just going to instead say "well, we really feel like it's happening". Legislation by vibes, I guess.

This is the stupidest boogeyman.

The point is to say it's happening to keep your voters and activists motivated so the feedback loop does its job.

This. I'm surprised they weren't immediately calling for Biden's impeachment while announcing that the Biden impeachment attempt was over.

They are.
U.S. Rep. Cory Mills of Florida has filed an article of impeachment citing President Joe Biden's threat of withholding arms from Israel if it launches an attack on Rafah, Gaza, as an "abuse of power."

Mills, a Republican who represents part of Volusia County in Florida's 7th District, compared Biden's actions to President Donald Trump's in 2019, when he delayed Congress-approved military aid from Ukraine when President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not agree to Trump's request of an investigation of Biden and his family.

That may be so but watch the news and tell me who they think the real president should be. Even left leaning channels like msnbc talk about trump more than Biden. And I don’t ever recall an ex president telling the senate how to vote.

It’s the term of two presidents.

After the hush money trial we know we can't even get a highly qualified witness on the stand let alone anything into evidence in any case. As desperate as Biden's numbers look, I just hope the Republicans remember what happened to the templars. :wink:

I'm not clear on the idea of how much the media talks about a person is indicative that they think such a person should be president. That doesn't logically follow. They talk about Trump because he has numerous felony indictments, other civil trials, and he does stuff that isn't normal. Nor did he tell the Senate how to vote - he told Republican members how to vote. There's a lot of unprecedented stuff Trump says and does - that's why he get so much coverage. But that doesn't mean the press thinks he should be president.

Trump was free to testify, even publicly stated a number of times he would, but of course he didn't. So don't complain to me about qualified witnesses not being able to testify :)

Also, it is false that Trump's FEC witness was not allowed to testify. He was free to testify, but the judge limited his testimony. The defense wanted him to testify about the law, but that is the judge's responsibility. He is responsible for telling the jury what the law is, not a witness - the witness cannot usurp the judge's role. After that decision, Trump's lawyers chose not to use him.

I was going to say, couldn't get witnesses to the stand like TFG was going to testify or perhaps like defense is using surprise witnesses? How do the words of wisdom go? "How do you know the former president and soon to be convicted felon is lying?"

One day into largely being news free again and I may have to remain in this state. It's not like my votes are going to change between now and November and there's not a whole lot I can do other than my voting.
