Kenneth Chesebro take plea deal in GA election subversion case. Watching hearing live now on CNN. Agrees to give up (amongst others) his 5th amendment rights. He has pled guilty in 'false elector' scheme.

That's another co-conspirator who will be testifying against Doofus.

Once one domino goes....
Flip flip flip

According to CNN 'flash' Jordan is out of the running.

According to 'sources'; After Jordan's 3rd round loss the GOP conference held a 'secret vote' on whether Jordan should stay or drop out. Jordan lost that 'secret ballot' vote and has apparently 'accepted the results' after they were announced.

So now whither shall the GOP wander to find their next candidate?

So, do we think Rudy will flip?

I honestly don't know.

He will melt into a puddle, and only a pool of hair dye will remain.

BruceAndNosh · 21/10/2023 08:48

Rudy is so deep in legal and financial trouble, I'm amazed he hasn't flipped already.

I think he'll be OK. The Royalties of "Dildo! - The Press Conference from a Sex Shop Car Park" will fill his coffers.

See, this is kinda the way I'm feeling. I certainly don't think of him as a particularly 'loyal' person, so I wonder why he hasn't moved to save his own skin.

So I'm wondering if there's some reason he hasn't either been offered a plea deal or his own offer has been rejected in the GA case. Maybe his involvement is so diabolical that the prosecution would rather see him in prison. Or maybe he simply isn't offering up enough or the 'right' information.

Because I certainly don't see him as the "I will never desert my Captain! We will die together" sort of person.

He's probably not very valuable as a witness anyway. He's even less credible than Powell. Plus he's definitely a bigger fish to fry.

An excellent day podcast to listen to is Prosecuting Donald Trump. Its got two former US department of Justice prosecutors who break down every twist and turn. They've got good chemistry and are pleasant to listen to.

NINE GOP candidates for speaker.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, Republican Conference Vice Chair Mike Johnson, RSC Chair Kevin Hern (Okla.), Reps. Byron Donalds (Fla.), Austin Scott (Ga.), Jack Bergman (Mich.), Pete Sessions (Texas), Gary Palmer (Ala.) and Dan Meuser (Pa.)

PALMER a new name.

As predicted on this thread, Trumpy pretending he doesn't know Powell !

2020 :
I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!

Today:
"Sidney Powell was one of millions and millions of people who thought, and in ever increasing numbers still think, correctly, that the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLLEN, AND OUR COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!!! Despite the Fake News reports to the contrary, and without even reaching out to ask the Trump Campaign, MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS. In fact, she would have been conflicted. Ms. Powell did a valiant job of representing a very unfairly treated and governmentally abused General Mike Flynn, but to no avail. His prosecution, despite the facts, was ruthless. He was an innocent man, much like many other innocent people who are being persecuted by this now Fascist government of ours, and I was honored to give him a Full Pardon!"

😂🤣😅

Spandauer · 23/10/2023 09:08

"STOLLEN"
Does he not know how to use spell check? This isn't the first time. Perhaps he's already looking forward to Christmas or a couple of slices with his covfefe?

He's also denying the other orange-haired guy from Australia. All that money and no access to good hairdressers 🤷‍♀️

If you can spot a misspelling in a Trump post then it's not for you. (It also stands as a test that a post hasn't been edited by AI ...)

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 23/10/2023 14:23

Would speel chock help, though? Unlike covfefe, stollen is a word.

So he's trotted out the old 'I barely knew her' line. What else is new? Or maybe I should say 'watt else is knew?'.

As far as the Speaker race and its NINE candidates, I'm reminded of the old baseball program hawker's spiel; “Programs, programs, get your programs here! You can't tell the players without a program". Because I sure has hell don't know who is who other than a couple of names.

I want it to go to Sessions for no other reason than that I shall get the gigglies every time a read that Sessions did this or that about the session. (I know nothing about him at all.)

Didn't he "barely" know Jean E. Carroll.

Now is probably the best time in US history to hire a good attorney. Team Trump certainly seem to have tied up all the crap ones.
