The odds aren't in his favour in the New York courts. The thing is, I'm not sure he could bail out of house arrest once it makes it's way through state appeals. That is if the judge sentences him to any time rather than just probation and heavy fines. That's why making the judge angry with him may not be the smart move. He has a lot riding on the election in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrefan1 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Oh FFS NYC... This shit is why people are slowly turning against Democrats. Again, I know this is just another ridiculous New York thing, but mix this in with California's brand of stupid and things start getting painted with a wide brush...

Popular Post The Arrogant Worms Posted April 24 Popular Post Share Posted April 24 'It all went to his hair': Crowd roars with laughter at Biden's 'bleach' joke about Trump https://www.rawstory.com/biden-trump-bleach-joke/ President Joe Biden received a standing ovation Wednesday after joking about former President Donald Trump's hair. The president took a shot at Trump while speaking at the North America's Building Trades Unions conference. "In fact, construction of new factories has more than doubled in our administration," he pointed out. "Meanwhile, Donald Trump still thinks windmills cause cancer." After pausing for laughter, Biden continued. "By the way, remember, he was trying to deal with COVID, he said, just inject a little bleach in your veins," Biden added. "He missed. It all went to his hair." 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on your point of view. Personally, I like some of what he's done. No matter whether Biden wins or Trump, it's going to be their party members and administration that will continue to do the heavy lifting. I usually don't like it when people just vote for a letter instead of a name for president, but in this election, it's very apropos. Biden wins, his party along with his administration will just continue running things. If Trump wins, he'll be on his revenge tour while his admin and party run the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satchmo Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Arizona prosecutors file criminal charges over 2020 election subversion schemes CNN — A grand jury in Arizona has handed up an indictment against former President Donald Trump’s allies over their efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, including the fake electors from that state and several individuals connected to his campaign. Boris Epshteyn, a former White House aide who remains one of Trump’s closest advisers, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani are among those who have been indicted, according to a source familiar with the investigation. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, announced the indictment Wednesday night, focusing on the 11 individuals who acted as pro-Trump electors in the state. The names of several other indicted defendants remain redacted, Mayes said in a statement Wednesday, until those people have been served. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/24/politics/arizona-criminal-charges-2020-election-subversion/index.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Biden has done a pretty good job given the state of the world economy. Trumps only focus is revenge and the "fixed" election. He plans on introducing tariffs to everything imported into the USA which will make thing more expensive. That and tax cuts for the wealthy. It is a losing strategy. I think abortion will play a huge role in the election and Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden kept some of the Trump admin's tariffs after he took office. Tariffs are a tool. They aren't inherently bad. Trump will just likely take aim at mostly China again. Hopefully American corporations will be forced to move their manufacturing out of China even faster as a result of the tariffs. Countries like Vietnam are starting to see more and more factories and jobs popping up. Tax cuts for people who are very wealthy are a huge sticking point with me for sure. It's politician's return on the legal bribes they get from the rich. Don't think that the Democrats are innocent in that issue. There's a reason why they have been beating Republicans in fundraising for some time now. The election will hinge on swing states. The states with firmest abortion laws are the deep red ones that Biden isn't going to win anyways. The abortion issue will influence congressional control, not executive. For people like me, that's perfect. That likely means a split government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
