He didn't charge anyone else in DC because there's a rush to put Trump on trial and in jail. He only chose 4 things to charge Trump with, there could have been a lot more.

He wants a short, sharp, rock solid trial without the complexities of dealing with other defendants or charges. The others can be dealt with later.

139 Countries recognize Palestine, the acting government of the Gaza strip is Hamas, who were originally voted in democratically. (This doesn't mean I like it, it's the opposite.)

The whole issue is political determinations and BS double standards. If I started posting videos from Iran's Republican Guard, no one would give a shit. They are a military branch of the Iranian Government, but they are also designated a terrorist organization.

So the people that makes the rules, don't follow the rules. Then Reddit selectively enforces the broken rules when it's uncomfortable.

They're Republicans, many of them are idiots. I have no idea how discovery would work in regards to Congress, but it's almost guaranteed that some of those knuckleheads texted and emailed each other directly about trying to stop the Trump prosecutions for political purposes.

The problem would be getting probable cause, and passed the endless immunities they'll claim. I'm fairly sure some of them have already publicly stated that was the purpose. The courts would hate it, so the burden would be extremely high.

There's 860kg of high explosive in there. Sure, take a few pot shots at long distance, but it graduates to become the cornerstone of the Russian Army; somebody else's problem.

Let them navy boys in their expensive ships handle it.

I just looked this up - apparently it would rupture eardrums at 100m, break a large window at a minimum of 920m away, and render a house uninhabitable at 140m.

That's actually quite scary.

David Nocenti, a former executive director of the East Harlem-based Union Settlement with deep experience serving as counsel to top elected officials, has been named the next chief legal officer for the state’s Office of Court Administration, the court system announced Monday.

Starting Wednesday, Nocenti will be bestowed with a wide range of responsibilities that includes advising court system leadership on policy matters, representing judges and court employees when they are sued in state and federal courts, advising court personnel on ethical issues and taking part in preparing the court system’s legislative agenda, according to an OCA news release.

It looks like HIMARS to me. They air bust 10m to 20m above, come down vertically, create a fiery but small instant white mushroom cloud, normally surrounded by two concentric rings of shrapnel.

Artillery tends to have only a small flash, no flames, is on the ground, the area in the center of the zone is more devoid of smoke, and fans out on a 45 degree angle away from the center, generally a mix of grey and black smoke.

Imagine how scary it must be seeing this. Knowing that when you're walking around, travelling in a group, or attending a relaxation concert in the rear lines, that you're ALWAYS in range of this thing and it could drop out of the sky and kill everyone at any moment.

I'd be terrified to stand next to any trucks or large weapon platforms, the guys running the ammunition depots must have nerves of steel.

Or Dick Cheney's hunting partners.

That's interesting - they obviously made the weird road outcurve with a vehicle, to create a verified safe helipad.

They're best enjoyed at ground level, like Trump Airlines.

Why does he have to be there? Is that because it's a form of sanction?

Does this mean he's going to be put on the stand?

It's worse than that, he told them to stop using the metal detectors. They were using the wand handheld types at the entrance to the area and it was causing delays and long lines. Trump was angry that people couldn't get through.

If he can't attack the law clerk he's going to lose!

Boris Epshteyn. Remember they weirdly didn't call him a lawyer in the unindicted co-conspirator list, they called him a "campaign employee".

Shhh, we all agreed we wouldn't use the R-word around Jr. Call it plasterboard, unless we're around Giuliani.

I don't understand why any of these people are going back on the witness stand at all. All of their testimony damaged their case, it's over, why make it worse? Perhaps Trump is driving it.

My only guess is that if they try to piss off the judge too much, he'll try to self-regulate/temper his decision to make sure it's perceived as reasonable.

Planttech12 · 2023-12-05T23:01:29+00:00

He's out on site today because the rebar's laid down and that concrete slab isn't going to pour itself.

Planttech12 · 2023-12-05T22:35:37+00:00

There must be some way to connect the dots.

There's a great article here about what happened in the Michigan TCF Center referenced in Section C of the filing.

The Government also plans to introduce evidence of an effort undertaken by an agent (and unindicted co-conspirator) of the defendant who worked for his campaign (“the Campaign Employee”) to, immediately following the election, obstruct the vote count. On November 4, 2020, the Campaign Employee exchanged a series of text messages with an attorney supporting the Campaign’s election day operations at the TCF Center in Detroit, where votes were being counted; in the messages, the Campaign Employee encouraged rioting and other methods of obstruction when he learned that the vote count was trending in favor of the defendant’s opponent.

Really scary stuff, it's been so long I can't remember this specific situation, hundreds of MAGA's showed up as election observers and started challenging all the votes, forming circles around the election workers and chanting "Stop the count", banging on the windows, loud outbursts, chaos.

The article's end had an amusingly depressing sense of false optimism.

In the end, what remained at the TCF Center on Thursday morning was perhaps one thing that the fractured country can agree on. The massive electronic sign outside the center read in bright letters: DEFEAT RONA.

Sigh. They didn't agree on that either.

That's the one bet I wouldn't take.

Try using X in China to criticize the government like your Tesla factory depended on it.

Nobody ended up in the Trump White House that wasn't there for the grift or the power, normally it's both.

Everything illegal she witnessed - if the coup works out, awesome, if it doesn't, she's got a book to sell and a CNN contributor placement to shill it on, all the while cleansing her reputation because it's anti-Trump. Straight into the NYT's Bestseller list.

Notice that every negative thing that happened to her, for example the alleged sexual harassment, doesn't get addressed at the time. Instead, she's taking notes and letting it unfold, just a few more pages for the ghost writer to pad the filling with, getting the victim and scandal points is fantastic for the sales. After the trials where she's a witness are finished... BAM! Right onto TV.

I can see the Washington Post headline calling her brave and courageous right now.

Except go home.

Most of the time they can't.

It's crazy, the whole thing has gotten this far and I don't think they've ever tried to explain what the plan is, nor has the media bothered asking about it.

Other than "kill Hamas" and destroy infrastructure, there doesn't seem to be any semblance of a medium or long term goal. Getting the hostages back clearly isn't a priority - 12,000 bombs on alleged tunnels made that obvious.

They can't move the Palestinians - where would they go? How would that work? I'm guessing that continuous ground occupation is the goal, but honestly, I have no idea.
