President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I thought Jared was a very good businessman? The best businessman.

 

Not only was Braxton Bragg a Confederate general, he was one of their worst. That base is the home of paratroopers, the Army Special Forces, and Delta Force. They should have renamed it for Chargin' Charlie Beckwith, a career Green Beret and the creator of Delta.

 

The same crowd who chanted, "Lock Her Up," is now objecting to "Lock Him Up!"

I guess pronouns do matter

 

Seriously. I pray for his safety.

 

It’s different when they do it.

 

100 percent.

That there's no Fort Longstreet or Fort Cleburne tells you everything you need to know about why Southern forts were named after Southern generals, and it had nothing to do with the performance of said generals.

 

When I look at what Smith has indicted Trump for, it appears to me that in this indictment he has pulled out the very easiest set of crimes to prove. He's got the texts, emails, and testimony from the various lawyers, a flow chart of the process in which the Archives attempted to get the documents back, and the evidence gathered in the FBI raid. He's got Nauta in a vice and will probably force him to flip and testify as well. It appears to me that this is his first case, getting Trump into court and applying pressure to prevent him from returning to the WH. Frankly, it would not surprise me if they let Trump plea bargain this away in exchange for withdrawing from the presidential race.

This was only 31 of around 300 documents he could have charged. I would not be surprised if he goes back and indicts some of the more difficult to prove cases later. Some of the docs were so secret that he won't charge them at all, so that they are not exposed in court. There are court mechanisms that allow a trial to go forward without revealing them, but some of those documents are so secret that even their code word designation is Top Secret. He's still got a whole raft of 1/6 charges, but that case is not fully baked just yet. This lets him get a shot off quickly, starts the parade of charges. Smith does not strike me as a guy who leaves things half done.

 

This Republican is perfectly safe.

That's because everybody loves Bacon.

 

No, no, no. He'll renege on any such agreement.

 

He never will plea bargain. He will say that the system is corrupt, etc. He still cites as evidence that he didn’t lose the fact that he got a certain number of votes without mentioning that Biden got millions more and his fans lap it up.

 

I’m guessing he wants out.

 

Hate that idea. Shouldn't even be legal (since no other citizen can play that plea card).

Just plays into the "you went after him JUST to remove him as a candidate" narrative.
