not anymore than I would care to challenge an opinion piece released by Giuliani defending Trump. I honestly thought Trump had successfully ran out the clock on this statute of limitations. I think it was even reported as such. Keep in mind this is all Trump saying this...we haven't heard from NYS I don't think.
See now you’re going to make me defend Bragg when I really don’t want to. I don’t disagree at this point being so long after the act there has to be political motivations moving this along, or some kind of personal interest over public interest. On the other hand, the public interest may be in setting guide rails for campaigns. Which brings me back to the original point, we don’t know what evidence has been developed. Like I said, my perspective is that they are a day lte and a dollar short with this.
We can agree that they are a dollar short. As far as the "day late" part there never was a time when this should have been prosecuted. It has always been politically motivated. The dems love to make the "no man is above the law argument" but no man should be below the law either. This is a petty bullshit case. No one is getting prosecuted for this bullshit in NYC. Thousands and thousands of violent felons and uninvested crimes occurring and the prosecutor reaches down to this bullshit case and obsesses over trying to get a conviction. There is only one reason, and it is the obvious one. It's a dirty case. Meanwhile Alvin Bragg has enabled and facilitated the deaths of many New Yorkers by focusing on this type of thing while giving a pass to true criminals who are a threat to the public. Lots of blood on his hands. But, yeh, let's focus on Stormy Daniels.
Yup. As previously discussed, the New Jersey Beluga is beginning to surface more and more to spout. Y'all can see where this is headed. Chris Christie: ‘The circus continues’ on Trump calling for protests over potential arrest Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday said “the circus continues” in response to a question about former President Trump claiming he’ll be arrested on Tuesday in connection with an alleged hush-money payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels — and also urged his supporters to protest. “The circus continues. I mean, look, he only profits and does well in chaos and turmoil. And so he wants to create the chaos and turmoil on his terms. He doesn’t want anybody else’s terms … he wants it on his terms,” Christie said on ABC’s “This Week.” https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday...p-calling-for-protests-over-potential-arrest/
Here’s the thing with Trump’s potential rivals, they’re all scared of him. If DeSantis had an allegedly impending arrest for paying off a porn star to keep quiet about a tryst they had while his wife was home with their new born baby, Trump would hammering DeSantis with it, Pence, and whoever else. Christie saying this will somehow benefit Trump, maybe, and it’s because Trumps rivals are chicken to use the ammo they have. This is actually a great opportunity for DeSantis but he thinks making the case that he wasn’t really raise in Tampa Bay is the way to go. Morons.
Well, let's just say that we know that the race is on because the players are having to reposition themselves daily now. The same Chris Christie who two days ago said that an indictment only helps Trump, now says "an indictment never helps anyone." Ahhh. okay. Some windsocking going on there. link below. I don't completely agree with your assertion that Trump's opponents are just doing this or that because they are afraid of them, but since there is an element of truth to that where it applies, I will not argue against it. More precisely though, I think that DeSantis, for example, has very credible poll info that shows that the one thing that republican voters do not like is Trump criticizing DeSantis, even if they are not a DeSantis voter. They think he is the only republican that was a winner in the last election and that he brings a credible record and should not be trashed. So DeSantis has reasons other than fear why he would just let things play out with Trump raging and flailing around without DeSantis having to get involved in that mud wrestle. And it applies to Trumps other opponents as well to some degree. There may be some fear there but I also think there are some smarts at play based on having seen the Trump movie before- ie. you need to choose your battles and not just deplete your energy mud wrestling with Trump. You/Usual Tard will argue that that just lets Trump steamroller on. but others, myself included, think he has not won much lately and continues to have problems so they do not need to use their powder on him while he is blowing both feet off with things like this Stormy Daniels/Let's take back out country bullshit. Rule number one in politics, is when your opponent is in trouble, just stay out of it and watch. Every candidate has their own story though. Trump beat the shit out of Christie and reduced him to a schoolboy begging for a job. Now along comes Christie and thinks he should burn his energy on mudwrestling with Trump and beat him this time. That's fine. It's stupid but it is what he is wired to do, so just go be stupid. We know it will loud too. Because, well, New Jersey. Trump thrives on 'chaos and turmoil' when it's on his terms, Chris Christie, a former federal prosecutor, says. But an indictment 'never helps anybody.' https://www.businessinsider.com/chr...d-never-helps-anybody-trump-indictment-2023-3
Christie also said this on Sunday... Chris Christie: ‘The circus continues’ on Trump calling for protests over potential arrest https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday...p-calling-for-protests-over-potential-arrest/
Yup. Saw that, and thought "and the Chris Christie versus Donald Trump circus continues too." It's what they do. Christie vs. Trump brings some entertainment value, so go for it. Gotta have some fun. Mike Pence is certainly not going to bring any. Mother has told him he has already used up his quota of fun for the year.
O’ Goody. Then DeSantis is all set not saying anything and getting steam rolled. It’s Monday, but since we are looking at polling data despite it not being Wednesday, I seen polls too that showed republican voters preferred candidates who they agree with over candidates who they think can win. If memory serves me something like 56/38. The turnip would be wise taking whatever advantage is offered to him because don’t think Trump is waiting for the right time or the right issue.
