It’s been called for the R. A huge overperformance but they keep their state senate supermajority
Fuck - Hopefully there is 1 Republican Senator in Wisconsin who believes in respecting the results of the election.

There should be riots if that happens. That’s actually Banana Republic type shenanigans.

With respect to Wisconsin, the NYTimes daily podcast mentioned that there is already an ongoing discussion amongst Republicans to impeach the new D Supreme Court Justice (assuming she wins today). If the R candidate wins the special Wisconsin Senate election today, the Rs will have the necessary two-thirds vote to impeach.
Its unbelievable that this would be possible in a state that slightly leans D but that’s the power of gerrymandering.

Yeah, it did not need to be as complex as they made it out to be. Real billionaires with a little bit of common sense could have probably taken care of this with no issues.
And on top of it, the CFO took notes on a Criminal Fucking Conspiracy. Trump needed Stringer Bell to supervise these fools.

I would definitely watch some new HP stuff on HBOMax but I’m not excited about a pure reboot of the books. I thought the movies were well done and there is so much other backstory in that world which could be covered.

I’m always amazed at how incompetent Trump is and everyone in his orbit. He, his attorney/fixer and CFO are knowingly crafting a criminal scheme and decide to reimburse Cohen for legal services under a retainer agreement. After crafting this scheme, they don’t think it’s important to enter into an actual retainer agreement. What a bunch of fucking morons!
At least prepare the paper trail to document your lies.
This is the worst fucking timeline.

The same sort of circumstantial evidence indicated that John Edwards paid off Rielle Hunter, but a jury declined to convict. So this is not theoretical. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-hush-money-case-compared-democrat-john-edwards/story?id=98053273 And John Edwards didn't have the benefit of being a known total piece of shit like Trump. He would have had a harder time arguing that these allegations didn't hurt him as a candidate.
Understandably, the Edwards case keeps coming up as it appears to be the only close proxy to TFG’s current indictment. I think it’s important to note a couple of facts related to that trial:
1. The donors who provided the hush money to Edward’s campaign weren’t available to testify why they provided the money. One donor was excused due to being 101 years old at the trial while the other donor had passed away.
2. The prosecution’s main witness has serious credibility issues as he used some of the donations for his own personal purposes essentially embezzling some of the hush money.
As mentioned earlier, hopefully the prosecution has some documents to back up intent.

Ok so let’s assume the accounting is/was accurate and the prosecution really can’t trace the money to campaign funds… why is it illegal to pay a couple of hoes to stfu?The accounting wasn’t accurate. If it benefited his campaign, it should be shown on his disclosures as a campaign contribution either from the Trump Org or Michael Cohen.

Of course not. The point is, they don't know WHY they want assault weapons. She can't articulate it and neither can her constituents. If you can't come up with a reason NOT to ban assault weapons, then spare me the histrionics.
What was wrong with bringing back the ban we had in the 2000s? Seemed to do ok.
The original ban grandfathered weapons already owned. Given the proliferation of these guns since the 2004 expiration, I don’t think a ban with grandfathering would have significant impact while all of the other potential mitigations would likely significantly reduce gun-related violence. Just my opinion.

So at the end of the latest Pod Save America, they interviewed a Dem rep from rural Washington that beat a magat R in the last election. She is a 34 year old mom, owns an auto shop, very salt of the earth and I agreed with her on a lot.
HOWEVER, when she was asked about an assault weapons ban, she said absolutely not. When pressed, she couldn’t come up with any reason other than it’s a constitutional right. He even probed further to see WHY she thought we needed access to them and she just couldn’t answer. Just stammered and hemmed and hawed.
Fucking rage
Define ban in your mind? Does it require current owners to turn in their existing ARs?
Personally, I’m for safe storage and red flag laws, licensing and registration for gun ownership and capacity limits. However, I generally stop short of a full ban especially a ban that converts current law-abiding citizens into criminals by virtue of their prior purchase of legally acquired assets.

So, it seems there are some obvious difficulties here. First is establishing Trump's knowledge of the details of the scheme, or at least the purpose to camouflage the nature of the payments. Second is what does "intent do defraud" mean and did he have it? Then you have to prove that he intended to benefit his campaign and not him personally to make it an election law violation.
Then you have this whole issue of you can't try him in a NY court for the predicate crime. I guess you could still instruct the jury on the questions for the federal crime and require them to answer yes.
Doesn’t 99% of this come down to one simple thing: Does the entire jury believe Michael Cohen?
I’m assuming that Cohen is going to testify to all of those points. Trump knew about the payment, his intent, etc.

How many of yall have called or written someone about this, Uvalde, or any other shooting?
Do it. As in right now. It seems completely worthless. But not as worthless as doing absolutely nothing. Do it now before you become apathetic.
It fucking sucks to do. It's a pain in the ass. I'm not eloquent. I get worked up and don't say what I wish I did over the phone. I likely sound like I have a third-grade education. But the point still gets across. It takes literally two minutes and you're done.
Find your rep here: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
Find your Senator here: https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htmAbsolutely this!
After Uvalde, I called and emailed all of my representatives and explained that I will vote for and support candidates who work to provide real solutions to this problem. Except I didn’t call Cruz’s office because Fuck Ted Cruz.
It’s basically forgotten by this point but we did get enhanced background checks and reviews for gun purchasers under 21 after Uvalde.
I’m certain the thousands of calls that Cornyn’s office received help cement his support to do something.

That’s not true. As has been pointed out in this thread multiple times, other countries who had mass shooting events immediately changed their gun laws to make it harder or impossible to obtain the weapons at issue. Many other countries don’t have this issue.
Only one side of the aisle in the US appears willing and able to try and implement actual solutions to this. The other side is busy talking about side doors, mental healthcare which they won’t fund and appointing judges who believe every mentally ill person in this country should be entitled to own multiple ARs.

Exactly but they are likely already drawing up impeachment documents
