This is almost as racist as it is incoherent. You think Sowell has wanted to “do something like this” for a very long time?

It is really about Big Black Balls vs. Big White Balls. My sense is that black men in America have been wanting to do something like this for a very long time.

This trial has been coming for many, many years. I believe it began in 1972(3) when the first wave of baby boomers in California failed to pass the ethics portion of the Bar Exam (Sacramento). They have never respected our system of law and were instrumental in removing the 10 commandments from courthouses (ACLU). They were also the first to jump into bed with the teamsters when they worked so hard to get teachers unionized and into the teamster’s union (sometime in the late 1970s to early 1980s)

Trump was domiciled in NY (legally registered to vote, permanent address @ Trump Tower) until September 2019. Then he officially moved his residence/domicile to Mar A Lago.

Geoffrey Britain…while I don’t disagree with the “martyr” end of things…
I’m not sure I see how “the more pyrrhic their ‘victory’ shall be” comes to pass.

My sense is they are either trying to elevate Trump to hero status (your “martyr”) so that no other R dares run against him OR to make him toxic to the average voter.

I’m not even sure I can square that circle…spitballing is all I have at the moment.
This is, as others have surely noted, uncharted territory.

Weak. Very weak tea. I’m still shocked that Bragg wasn’t shut down. This indictment is a joke. It would have been (will be) a little harder to spin a Georgia indictment or a DOJ Special Counsel indictment.

You spin Georgia by arguing that Trump believed that there were problems with the voting and tabulation, so he lacked intent.

You spin a DOJ SC indictment by noting all of the Democrats who clearly committed obstruction but were never charged.

You don’t even have to spin this one. The pleadings are excrement and should be dismissed.

I don’t see why Trump wouldn’t be found guilty, considering that this is a political trial in a blue blue city. Justice is irrelevant in this sort of thing; getting Trump is what matters.

–neo

I don’t either. Yet I’m split down the middle.

Despite all the advantages of Big Blue and its overwhelming animus towards Trump, they haven’t gotten him yet … in however many attempts.

The US is not yet Beria’s USSR (and a hat-tip to PA+Cat’s reminder that Beria didn’t die pleasantly in his bed with good vodka in his head). Even a Blue judge and jury might not be able to pull the trigger on Trump for such a blatant witch hunt on flimsy charges well beyond the statute of limitations.

Looking at the cable guide right now, CNN is showing this time slot as “The Indictment of Donald Trump”, like it’s some kind of thriller-drama. I seem to recall a few years ago, similar creative talent: “The Impeachment of Donald Trump”. There’s big magic in those words, folks. Big. Magic.
