This denial is a double edge sword for Trump. By mentioning it at all on his large platform, he just amplified it

I've heard this about their view on the law: There are people whom the law protects but doesn't bind. And there are people whom the law binds but doesn't protect. Guess which is which.

They're trying to rewrite our history. Now, this idea of a Unitary Executive was their goal loooooong before Trump. They may despise Trump secretly but grabbed this case as the vehicle to realize this goal.

And yet they purposely wouldn't consider the facts, the man, and the ACTUAL case before them. Instead, they are engaged in hypotheticals about future Presidents and hypothetical sham prosecutions and hypothetical timid Presidents who may hypothetically hold back bold & decisive action when needed.

Good question. I understand that's what Barrett questioned. State of mind, right? She said you have to be able to talk abt the quid to prove the quo happened. Introducing a $$ trail may not be enough to tell a prosecutable story to a jury w/out fully examining the acts, statements of the quid part

THIS. Everyone saying Biden should go 'all out, use his immunity, be imperial " missed that part. Vague, presumptive immunity is to be adjudicated in the courts with appeal on up to them. They decide. Pres should follow the law. Congress Amend Constitution; no kings. Voters elect pple of character

So that means if Biden HAD talked to Matthew Colangelo about Trump's NY hush money case while Colangelo was in DOJ (Biden didn't), it would have been an official immune act

Regarding the SCOTUS immunity case: It now falls to voters to realize how much CHARACTER matters in the person we select for the office of President. The sweeping power SCOTUS just the Presidency must be matched by honesty, integrity, and respect for the will of We The People.

And, after hearings sort out official & unofficial acts, NO EVIDENCE used to determine immune official acts can be used or mentioned to prosecute the UNOFFICIAL acts. Also, I believe the judge's determination of unofficial acts can be appealed immediately BEFORE a jury trial begins

Not a Conservative, but I understand these folks. We moved to a new district for our son's special needs. He went to one school; our daughter to the school closer to our home. I wanted them together, but oh, how I LOVED that small rural school for her grade school. Small classes, everyone knew her

So true. It didn't sink the Dems in the 2022 Midterms, though. If that was an aim, it failed. Personally, I think the old adage of bad news sells more copies is more likely. They just don't care. It's lazy storytelling; not journalism.

Well, Trump pardoned him Federally (his cohorts were found guilty). This is a state level NY prosecution.

Part of how they plan to execute Project 2025 is by having a "Unitary Executive ." While I get the overview of that idea, would you consider doing a breakdown on the Unitary Executive Theory? I believe it's Bill Barr's live work & why he backs the GOP ticket while loathing Trump.

This was well worth reading. Great history on the Constitution, taxation, Supreme Court tax cases from 1895, 1920, and today, the original Progressive reformer Era, and the New Deal. Always thought monied interests were fighting taxation since The New Deal, but it's been much longer. Thanks

Hmmm. So their talking points, "Trump didn't lose, the questions were biased, Biden's on drugs, they gagged Trump's speech by shutting off his mic." I like Presidents who don't play victim.

"Ban Tik Tok." Trump then meets rich Tik Tok CEO. "Save Tik Tok." "Deport all migrants." Trump meets w/rich Silicone Valley CEOs. "Automatic green cards for college grad migrants." Can't anyone start some MAGA infighting on this? About the only thing they'll critique him on.

You know, Chip Roy and Thomas Massie backed DeSantis too; they even campaigned for DeSantis. But they didn't vote to oust McCarthy. Do you think Trump primaries them too??

I saw a good take on Vance & Rubio (both former Trump critics) and their roles in MAGA. Vance is a true believer who speaks to the base for Trump. Rubio is a smooth pretender who translates Trump to reluctant suburbanites.

Yeah, the witness wasn't cooperative, and I guess they didn't want to depend on his lying, convict wingman to make their case. Wondering what this will come to for Congress. Reprimand? Committee loss? Expulsion? Kneecap his next election? Hmmm?
