I don't get it.  Is he up against a term limit?  Does he just not want to be the Republican nominee for governor the next election?  Is he on dope?

He's setting up himself as a potential crossover candidate, and he isn't waiting for later, he will announce in January or February, once some of the dust settles.

I'm afraid that The Deep State has gotten to Brian Kemp.

While most of America was sleeping, Donnie was airing his feelings at 2 am:

It brings me great joy to know that he is up at two in the morning - on the shitter - processing hamburders - and terrified at the process over which he has no control. 

I think he is more upset at the charges  that will prove he’s not nearly as rich as he said that he is, than he is worried about actual jail time.   The former is a Dante’s concentric circle of hell for an insecure Uber-narcissist like Trump who has spent his entire life trying to fake that he’s really rich.

Georgia has ascended over Texas and Florida. Low bars, but it's nice work. I wonder of if Georgia is thinking, "Yew know, we trahd this whole rebellin' thang befoah. Did not work out. Mistuh Trump, no suh. You on you own."

 

As for Dotard, I don't know why I was reminded of Robert Mitchum and how useful he might be today.

He wants to be President and Georgia is very much a purple state these days.  They've got 2 Democratic Senators.

I also love how he pimps tax cuts along w/ cop and teacher raises.  Republicans loooooooove deficits. 

I mean, if my only options were:

1. End democracy and give absolute power to a racist dictator who will only use this power to line his own pockets, or

2. Enact policies that lead to huge amounts of government debt,

I'm going with 2 every time.

Those aren’t the options. Tax Cuts without spending cuts also leads to mass government debt. 
 

Real choice are 

1. End democracy and give absolute power to a racist dictator who will only use this power to line his own pockets + huge amounts of Gov Debt 

2. Huge amounts of government debt

Are you sure that there's no way to pre-program your posts in advance, like there is on Twitter or Facebook?

When host Laura Ingraham asked what his “constitutional” plan was on 6 January 2021 — as Mr Trump and his allies sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election — Mr Eastman admitted that he tried to stop the certification of the election results and wanted then-Vice President Mike Pence to at least halt Congress from certifying them for a week.

“Some people had urged that Vice President Pence simply had power to reject electors whose certification was still pending,” he said.

“I explicitly told Vice President Pence in the Oval Office on January 4, that even though it was an open issue, under the circumstances we had I thought it was the weaker argument, and it would be foolish to exercise such power.

“What I recommended, and I’ve said this repeatedly, is that he accede to requests from more than 100 state legislators in the swing states, to give them a week to try and sort out the impact of what everybody acknowledged was illegality in the conduct of the election.”

His response left many legal experts baffled — as it appeared that the attorney admitted live on air that he was guilty of one of the crimes with which he is charged.

Bradley P. Moss, an attorney specialising in national security, posted a clip of the interview on X/Twitter, saying: “He literally just confessed to the crime.”

if the dems can string b2b potuses (poti?) #2 will not longer be true either. they're always busy cleaning up the previous R admin's fuckups that they never get a chance to rise higher than that. time to flip that script.

You're not wrong, but if I have to choose between those like Kemp and the MAGAs, Kemp wins every time.  Low bar indeed.

Yeah, that's kind of what elections are.  Choosing.

We had a recent judicial runoff election with that race, being the only thing on the ballot. The eventual winner was elected by a whopping 17% of registered voters.  83% chose not to choose.  Which definitely played a significant role in deciding who won the judgeship. 

So elections are also very much about not choosing. Get out the vote moose out front shoulda told ya.

I can't wait to see Trump's lawyer's faces when he faces cross examination. Can they take the 5th on his behalf?

I know it's a facetious question, but if Trump took the stand in his own defense, he entirely waives his 5th Amendment privilege as to the matters he testifies to.  So, it's not just a matter of him failing to invoke it, he can't.

It hasn't been explicitly discussed in too many places, but by testifying at his removal hearing, Meadows likely waived his 5th amendment privileges for future proceedings in federal court, and maybe even the Georgia court, as well.  At least as to those matters to which he testified.

Rooted around some and found the motion for summary judgment in the NY AG case.  Turns out, Trump did use those bullshit financial statements in connection with loan guaranties and seeking insurance coverage.  Not quite sure why this isn't a federal bank fraud case, but whatever.

So, I'm thinking they may really have him.  My sense of it, though, is I dont' see $250M in damages to the State of New York, or really anyone.

Wasn't this all discovered in the NYT article from like 2018?  I don't get how no one is absolutely slaying him on that.

No.

The 2018 article was about potential tax fraud, including some jacked up valuations and funky accounting reflected in his tax returns.  Kind of related, but no not discovered or established.

There's a shit ton of evidence that Trump's "Statements of Financial Condition" were similarly cooked and bullshit.  That is what James has sued over.  What has been conspicuously missing from the reportage is any specific instance where those documents were submitted to a financial institution to rely on in underwriting a loan or insurance policy.  There have been some vague allusions to that, but nothing specific.  James has proof of specific loans, insurance policies, and institutions where those bullshit documents were submitted and relied upon.

There's also been some mumbling about statute of limitations problems, but I don't think that's a very big deal now.  Ivanka was dismissed from the lawsuit because Trump Organization parties signed a tolling agreement in 2021 that would extend the statute of limitations by two years.  She was found not to have been part of the Trump Org by that date and so not bound by the tolling agreement.  So acts occurring prior to 2016 were barred as against her, but it's 2014 for the rest of them.

Is that a 5 year SOL?

Six apparently, extended by two years by the tolling agreement.

It’s a fucking low bar to be a “good” Republican these days.

Never forget his voter purge to get himself elected.


In case people are wondering, he compared the voter rolls from black districts with voter rolls from other states. Any matching names were removed for being registered in two states 

I believe that’s what happened. If I’m. It mistaken the trump DoJ told him to never do that again

Yeah, I aint voting for em for anything and will stop short of praising them, but the fact that Kemp and Christie have extracted Trump's micropeen from their gobs and are vocal about it is a positive development.

Too bad it's just a pragmatic play.  It's not about morals, ethics, or a return to "sanity".  Any Rs that put country above party died in the Maga fire.  Hell Rs are happy to shit on McCain's memory and are starting to turn on the old god too(Reagan)  He was too liberal.

As expected, Judge dismissed Caplan suit of disqualifying Trump from ballot due to standing 

https://news.yahoo.com/federal-judge-dismisses-florida-lawsuit-175900726.html

Quote

U.S. District Judge Robin L. Rosenberg ruled that plaintiff Lawrence Caplan, and two other plaintiffs he added to his original lawsuit against Trump, lacked the legal standing to bring the case.

Only a States election officials can use 14 Amendment to disqualify Trump. Not a random lawyer

Trump could have very well stollen the election if not for R’s like Kemp being willing to say no under intense political pressure.  I realize there aren’t many of them, but yeah, praise the sweet baby Jesus for R’s like Kemp.
