The big takeaway here, and what everyone needs to know, is that CO is NOT actually removing Trump from its ballot. I posted the relevant section of the COSC's decision.

Care to revise your remarks? Because I for one would just love to hear you tell us how you, like, akshually KNEW this was going to happen all along because this was just part of Jack Smith's TRUE and brilliant prosecutorial strategy.



I'll give the Washington Post a rare bit of credit for coming right out with the primary motivation and timing behind this case:

I’ve been wrong before. It doesn’t hurt a bit. I overestimated the efficiency of the Appeals Court.

Not to worry. Alvin Bragg has a nice criminal trial scheduled for March, so it really won’t be that much of a setback. April is still open. IIRC, the Documents Trial is due to start May 20. It’s not like the trials aren’t going to happen. Donnie’s dance card is going to be filled from March 25 until Election Day. He’ll have to fit his campaigning in on weekends.

He will be a convicted felon long before Election Day, and quite possibly before the nominating convention. You guys need to be deciding who’s going to run when he goes down.

No worries - unlike the cabbage in the WH, Trump doesn't even need to campaign - he does it for sport. The cabbage needs to campaign but is unable to..the poor bastid..

Of the four criminal cases former president Donald Trump is facing, charges filed in New York over 2016 hush money payments have long been considered by legal experts to be the weakest of the bunch. But it is increasingly likely that case will be his first to go to trial, perhaps as soon as next month.

...Robert Mintz, a former federal prosecutor now in private practice, said the prospect of the New York case being Trump’s first criminal trial “is somewhat of a worst-case scenario for prosecutors,” because it is a novel use of the law in a high-profile, politically sensitive matter.

“By leading off the string of indictments with the case that is the most problematic from a legal, rather than evidentiary standpoint, this runs the risk of potentially handing the Trump defense team an early win on legal sufficiency grounds that plays into the defense claims that all of these prosecutions are politically motivated and may spill over to damage the credibility of the other criminal cases in the minds of the public,” Mintz said.

Sounds like their train is starting to go off the tracks.

Too bad, so sad.

Supreme Court declines to issue expedited ruling on Trump immunity case

by Bill Mears , Shannon Bream , Adam Sabes
Published December 22, 2023 2:45pm EST

The Supreme Court has declined to issue an expedited ruling Friday on whether former President Trump has immunity from prosecution related to the 2020 election interference case.

Appellate courts are hearing the immunity case, but the Supreme Court ruled on Friday that it would proceed as normal.
This admin’s train has completely derailed. Nothing is going right for them. They are a complete disaster and will lose big.

People thought Trump’s 2016 win created a lot of screaming and crying from the left. Wait until he wins again for the 3rd time. It will be the most important, satisfying, and entertaining election ever.

It seems to me Trump will probably beat the rap on all these charges/cases against him.

1. The Georgia case is most likely tainted now because of Fani and her lover.

2. The Documents case will probably be ruled as negligence and Trump will most likely pay a fine or be thrown out entirely because the Supremes rule on presidential immunity.

3. The hush money case in New York is super weak as the feds didn't even wanna take it and will most likely just be a fine if anything.

4. Jan 6 culpability will be hard to prove and again it might depend on the presidential immunity ruling.

Don's Teflon seems to be protecting him well so far but time will tell.

Really? You just figured this out. By the way, Trump is up in GA +7.2. Plan is not working.

It looks hypocritical and stupid that the current President is trying to put in jail a former President for documents when the current President took out of the WH as VP documents himself. It's like OJ Simpson trying to put in jail a man for screaming at his wife.

New York trying a federal law when the feds and FEC already declared there was no crime or even a fine it's so obviously political. It's like the city of San Francisco charging Federal tax laws on a citizen when the I.R.S declared there was no crime or even a fine. You would think the New York has enough problems to tackle than trying to payback their political donors.


We are still waiting for N.Y. to tell us who is the victim here?

When things are done for political reasons as the #1 reason and don't care dividing this country further and then pushed everything fast before the elections for an outcome, things will blow up in their faces.
