2024 Presidential Election

[GOGETUMPOKE]

No, there isn't an actual concern about the election being certified or the election being stolen, I just think it is ironic to hear these things come out of people's mouths after hearing them called a "threat to Democracy" for the past four years. And, yes, there is every reason to think that if Trump had lost that the morning after would have been... bad. Much worse than histrionic women swearing off schmex for four years* (they are actually using that term) and getting blue heart tattoos and shaving their heads. Like remember when Michigan survivalists couldn't take two weeks of isolation before they stormed the capitol building kind of bad. And yes, Trump primed them for it. Just like he did on Jan 6. Which, again, was the last straw for me.

*Do you really think they are going to last four years?

Some of them.

Some of them.

I think it will be very few.

As an example of what inflation is like, salad at Walmart used to be 96 cents. It's now $2.18. It comes from Mexico, so Trump better not put tariffs on food from Mexico.

I think it will be very few.

The false business filing is a misdemeanor and past the statute of limitations. Lawfare.

This isn't accurate. They didn't create a felony for Trump. The law is either first degree or second degree and that is what determines if it is a felony.

I was thinking about him this afternoon. Guessing he didn't take the results very well.

20somethings saying they are giving up sex for 4 years? Unless every guy the meet is me 2 decades ago I think its unlikely.

That’s nice, but none of those are the case against Trump.

First, NYPL § 175.10 requires proof that the defendant committed a misdemeanor under NYPL § 175.05 (“A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree [175.10] when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree [175.05], and . . . ”). So the first step is for the District Attorney to prove the misdemeanor under Section 175.05.

In addition, the two year statute of limitations on the misdeamenor (New York law, CPL § 30.10(2)(a)) expired long ago, and the District Attorney did not charge Trump with the misdemeanor. It is not clear whether the felony can stand when the misdemeanor is time barred. The felony statute requires showing that the misdemeanor was committed, since the felony is really a penalty enhancement on the misdemeanor.

Trump’s already reducing the abortion rate and he hasn’t even been sworn in yet. WINNING!!!

Bill is a national treasure. Loved him as a college age Liberal (yes I was a total lefty when 21). Still love him today. Despite his views he just calls things as they are.

Most are more minor than Trump's. Cuomo extended the statute of limitations due to Covid delays.

It’s a sad day when the game thread is more depressing than the politics forum.

So, if you had the choice of Kasey Dunn or Kenal Briles to run our offense the next 4 years. Who are you choosing?

I'm having flashbacks to 2016.

If I wake up tomorrow morning still married I'm going to be really upset with you.

That being said my bitcoin and Amazon stock will come in really handy when we need buyout money.

Or maybe, hang with me here, the incumbent leaders of most countries were blamed for the global inflation. Also, just because the votes flipped in a binary choice, doesn’t mean the nation moved to the right. We don’t get a spectrum of perceived legitimate choices at the top of the ballot. It’s black and white.

I guess it’s good that MAGA is feeling glib. The Capitol should be safe for four years.

Ah yes, the ‘most countries’ rationalization.

Feels a touch glib.. Couldn’t have anything to do with the US , just a worldwide phenomenon.

I think I can trust you to love the inflation from Trump's tariffs since you'll simply see them as something you have to go through to Make America Great Again because Trump said so.
