I will delete my pictures as I do not want to turn this into Facebook like WVASTRO is doing. Memes are highly annoying.

Actually… we agreed on something. Carry on humans!

He wants both Biden and Trump to drop out of the race. Why should Biden drop out? Just because his party’s likely nominee is one of the worst people in history doesn’t mean that the Dems have to give up the weight of incumbency in the next election.

[D.WARD (Scott)]

@Limey

Why should Biden drop out?

I agree with Mittens on this one. Biden is too old, is a dementia patient, uses his position to leverage monetary gain from foreign countries and uses his position to try to prosecute a political opponent. That’s simply not what the country needs for a president.

[Idstrosfan (Jim Sheridan)]

Of Course he wants this- He’s a republican and will advocate for anything that improves their chances over the democrats. No news here.

But the idea is silly and without merit.

Not to mention unlikely to result in any kind of improvement in our country or its government.

Until polititians start being Americans rather than democrats or republicans nothing will change.

I thought it was going be a televised hearing, but Fani Willis’ response to the court - about the efficacy of trying all 19 RICOs (RICii?) together - dropped last night in the form of a filing to the court.

Willis pointed out the very real danger of some severed defendants filing for a speedy trial (Chesebro and Powell have already filed for both) will result in multiple trials that will - under the speedy trial law - be running simultaneously. This would require multiple court rooms, multiple judges, multiple juries, multiple prosecution teams and will burden the witnesses with having to testify multiple times.

Based on the above, Willis argued that trying a clown car of defendants all at once is something the County has handled before, while severing/batching them will result in circumstances that will overwhelm the court, the county and the witnesses. It’s a very good point.

Legal pundits did a lot of forehead-slapping over Willis’ filing, having not thought through the issue of a severed defendant then demanding a speedy trial. They suggested a fly in the ointment is that forcing some defendants into a speedy trial that they do not want (guess who?) could provide grounds for appeal. A solution would be to have the right to a speedy trial waived as a condition of any defendant being severed.

Basically, Willis has done this before, she is far more knowledgeable as to the quirks of Georgia law, and she is 10 steps ahead of everyone else.

Judge severs Chesebro and Powell’s trials. Likely more severing to follow.

Judge severs Trump’s Georgia election interference case, and 16 others, from trial starting in October (yahoo.com)

There was a flurry of waivers of speedy trials yesterday - prompted by Fani Willis’ filing - so this makes sense. I think these two may be the only two who didn’t waive. So their trial will go ahead on Oct 23rd, during which time the other 17 will have a 4-month bowel evacuation as Willis showcases exactly everything they’ve got.

And it’ll all be on TV, so spinning of the evidence can only occur inside the MAGA bubble…where it doesn’t matter.

Joe Biden: Falling Down Ultimate Compilation

Joe Biden: A symbol of toughness for America. He has to be tough to get back up as many times as he falls down.

[JBM]

Yeah, I still don’t get the incentive for these two to go early. In a game theory where it was federal case, they might feel that their likelihood of a conviction is equal regardless of when they go, and the benefit of going early helps Trump and thereby increases the likelihood of him winning and them receiving a pardon. But, he can’t pardon them from this case.

I guess they feel that not being in the same courtroom as Trump might help them. Seems thin to me

Running blocker for Trump is the only thing that makes sense. These people have no sense of themselves, no shame, no self-preservation instincts. They have sold their souls to Trump. He owns them, so…

They may have being trying to catch Willis as not ready; which is clearly not the case. I don’t know if you can withdraw a motion for a speedy trial once made.

In theory, getting a preview of all the evidence - because Willis is going to present all the evidence in support of the RICO charges - is a benefit to those going second. That may be true here, but what also may be true is that a preview of the goods could cause an olympics of flipping, meaning that there is more and more damning evidence to be presented at any subsequent trial(s).

@JBM

I don’t think anyone wants to be in the same batch as Trump. See also: Giuliani.

I doubt that Chesebro likes the idea of being tried next to Powell. Chesebro comes across as a slimy chancer, while Powell is all the floats short of a parade.

Hunter Biden indicted on three gun violations, because…2nd amendment?

[Texifornia]

@Limey

Hunter Biden indicted on three gun violations

Leaving aside the only reason he is being prosecuted is that he is Joe Biden’s son, and the fact that these charges are ancillary to the investigation, there is real evidence of crime. There’s a reason the Trump gorvelors aren’t all over the place gloating, and it’s obviously because they are firearms charges. However, firearms laws are real laws that require enforcement and if he actually did what he is accused of, he should pay the price.

Let’s do Jared next!

I hardly do either. He was the rapper pardoned by Trump that had been in prison for the same charges as Hunter.
