This is all such shit. I can't believe Trump isn't in prison and may yet be elected President again. Something is very rotten indeed in the States of America. I find it incredible after everything that's happened, particularly the January 6th insurrection and the reversal of Roe v Wade. My flabber is well and truly gasted.

"he called Trump all sorts of negative names, but once he had the nom, that politician suddenly was in love with him and backed him big time" offers quite a large field.

Tex Cruz? Lindsey Graham? Chris Christie (he went back on his arselicken recently but was quite pro-Trump for a while)? Marco Rubio?

@BruceAndNosh

I have a feeling she'll endorse him at some point, especially if she's looking for the VP job. I can't remember who it was that was up against Trump in the run up to the election in 2016, but whoever it was he called Trump all sorts of negative names, but once he had the nom, that politician suddenly was in love with him and backed him big time.

@DuncinToffee

That's a real good question. I've heard some say the won't vote at all. We'll just have to wait and see.

It will also be interesting to see who her voters turn to now, will they back Trump?

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is ending her campaign, ceding the nomination to Donald Trump, the Wall Street Journal reports

Will she actually endorse him though?
I don't see how she can with a straight face

They didn't say he was not guilty of insurrection, which he had asked them to do.

BIG news out of Ft. Pierce:

The DOJ advises Judge Cannon that the "60-day rule" does NOT apply in Trump's case as he has already been indicted & the case is already being litigated.

So, no reason to delay taking him to trial, even with elections in November.

Well, Group, I'm out in the 'wilds' (of Disney World) in our caravan again so am on and off the grid.

McConnell is giving up the leadership:

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4495954-mcconnell-exit-surprises-gop-its-trumps-party-now/

I'm still in a 'holding pattern' on the Trump legal circus. It's all going to end up before SCOTUS and they'll delay everything as long as they can. They could have bumped the immunity issue to the head of the docket, instead arguments won't begin until April. Trump's legal beagles are determined to delay anything 'criminal' until after the election so you can bet they'll drag arguments out as long as they can.

I shall now leave the real world behind for a few days and enter the worlds of Fantasy, Adventure, and Tomorrow.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)

McConnell exit surprises GOP: ‘It’s Trump’s party now’

GOP senators say Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.) saw the writing on the wall in choosing this term to be his final as Senate Republican leader, arguing it’s increasingly obvious that the party is drifti…

If SCOTUS find for Trump, then there's no need for SCOTUS ever again.

Show quote history

Yep. Going to be interesting.

Hypothetically if the SC find for Trump could Biden have him arrested and sent, say, to a prison camp in Siberia?? 😁

They give with one hand and then take with the other.😡

Supreme Court agrees to hear former President Trump’s immunity claim in election interference case the week of April 22.

Trump is going to be very happy about this as it means it's almost impossible to see how a trial will happen before the election now.

The Supreme Court have just come down clearly on Trump's side. I'm so bloody furious.
There is no reason why either side needs an additional 2 Months to frame their arguments since they've already done it at least twice already.

I suppose some members of the Supreme Court are too busy taking expensive holidays to hear the case sooner

I can't keep up with all the verdicts, appeals and decisions and then counter appeals. It seems like there are so many different courts, appeal processes, judges decisions in the US. Is this the same in all countries?

I can't either.
I tend to listen to the lawfare weekly round up on all things trump.

'suppose the us is in many ways like the eu with each state having their own laws and legal systems with a layer of federal burocracy.

However this is more like it.

BREAKING NEWS: New York State Appellate Judge Anil Singh just denied Donald’s request to halt enforcement of the $454 million judgment in his civil business fraud case.

Judge Singh ruled that Donald must post a bond covering the FULL AMOUNT in order to stop enforcement of the judgment.

In an emergency hearing, Donald’s lawyers tried to get the court to agree to a partial bond of $100 million. That is now rejected.

Donald still has to the middle of March to appeal his decision.

Haha

Trump's lawyers just confessed in writing that he doesn't have the money to pay the $466,000,000 New York State fine.
