Would You Hire This Job Applicant? Say you are an employer. You own a company. It could be large or small. And you run a help wanted ad to fill a mid-level position, or an upper level position, or even a laborer position. As is customary these days when you hire someone new, you look at the...

Trump to Seek Change of Venue and Judge Recusal If it's fair for Trump to ask Judge Chutkan to recuse herself from the election interference trial, and for that trial to be moved to another venue, is it also fair for DOJ to ask Judge Cannon to recuse herself from the classified documents trial...

Questions Answered in Court; Week of 7/29/23 Running Total Trump-Favorable Answers: 1 Trump-Adverse Answers: 26 Answered This Week: Yes, Trump is protected by presidential immunity regarding two defamatory statements he made against a PA voting machine supervisor when Trump was president...

That's not enough to get Trump off the hook. The absence or presence of three words will make no difference for Smith or Trump. The indictment includes a litany of illegal acts for which Trump must answer. The indictment was carefully drafted and Smith is no rookie. Trump is not going to get off...

Stay tuned. You'll find out differently when this is argued in court.

This "what Trump believed at the time" is another defense the Trump legal team and spokespeople are throwing against the wall to see if it sticks. What these people miss, and what the people who accept these comments miss, is that it does not matter what Trump believed at the time. It does not...

While this has political value DeSantis can use to dupe conservatives who are not paying attention, this is not a Disney policy shift. The article you cite says, "... CFTOD’s decision will not likely carry over into Disney’s film and television media anytime soon ..." The Central Florida...

Once again, you raise a single point that exists among many and unconvincingly argue that your point alone should carry the day. Also, there were few if any illegal votes to be counted. Smith has Trump cold. The evidence is overwhelmingly clear and we have not even seen the trump-card evidence...

I have read the indictment (skimming the highly detailed parts of it). I posted a link to it here in this thread soon after it became available. The indictment anticipated Trump's free speech defense and effectively neutralized it. Pertinent excerpts are below (emphasis mine). Notice how the...

There are two fatal flaws in Trump's free-speech defense. 1. The right to free speech is not absolute. While you can tell as many lies in public as you wish, you cannot use speech to commit crimes. Example, if I tell you I'm raising money to help buy Thanksgiving dinners for people in need and...

Another Loss for Trump in Court "A federal judge on Thursday decided to give the Manhattan District Attorney exactly what he wants: a video copy of former President Donald Trump’s damning testimony in an unrelated rape and defamation case that was decided earlier this year." (Source) I'm not...

On that, you and I agree. How do we get Trump to actually ask the Supreme Court to take this up? Nothing stops him from submitting the paperwork. Why does he not move on this, even as he says he wants this?

Flawed governor too. His meltdown under the national spotlight made that clear. For example, the numbskull actually allowed himself to be maneuvered into the ridiculous position of defending the vocational benefits of slavery. He did not have that tag before he started his presidential campaign...

Being a presidential candidate confers no special rights or privileges regarding criminal court. Numerous men running large organizations have been in court, and they get no special consideration because they are important or really busy. If being a presidential candidate did confer special...

You raise a good point. While people like to talk about corrupt politicians, there is the issue of the corrupt voter too. Voters keep putting these same corrupt politicians in office.

In the post muttly shared, Trump is calling for the Supreme Court to intercede to protect him from what he calls election interference from other courts and prosecutors. I'm all for that. I urge Trump go to the Supreme Court now to ask them to take up that very question. NOTHING stops Trump...

You make a valid point.
