They raided him for two reasons. One, to get almost half the voters to see him as a dangerous criminal. Two, to make him establish on the record that he does not have the most damaging material about the deep state. They think that will prevent him from later using that damaging material because he will be admitting that he's lied under oath and they will prosecute him fiercely for it.

Of course, when he is next inaugurated, he will be able to play all his cards and they can't then question where he got the damaging material. He'd have new access all over again, and he'd further pardon himself for having had it all that time if need be.

The US also destroyed the pipeline, which is universally known by now. That’s a huge terrorist act right there, with untold billions in economic damage.

Russia has shown remarkable restraint by not retaliating in some way. And now this. I imagine Putin will need to retaliate now. And Biden deserves the blame for whatever comes next.

You watch, next they will sue Trump for getting “improper” campaign support from these donors.

After the Democratic National Convention has chosen its nominee, if Biden were to drop out, the DNC leadership gets to unilaterally decide on the successor. I promise you that’s what will happen.

Could be he's been golfing a lot. As a lefty, he'd wear a glove on his right hand.

He's lobbying to get support for Michelle to replace Biden in the election.

I think Obama is locking down support for Michelle to step in for Biden.

Just very strange that the judge would require her lover to withdraw, but not her. If there was impropriety at all, it was by BOTH of them and not just him.

Frankly, the much bigger impropriety was by her.

Since the opinion goes beyond just overturning Colorado's attempt to keep Trump off the ballot, and instead explains that only the US Congress can do that, it follows that the majority believed weaponized prosecutors would try to gain a "conviction" against Trump for insurrection somewhere and then states would use that precedent to argue they have grounds now to keep Trump off the ballots.

So the majority knew that lawfare is a thing and they tried to head it off.

And the concurring minority cried foul because they too were acknowledging in their protestations that they didn't want to neuter the prosecutors.

Our SCOTUS is saying they see the lawfare and the conservatives are trying to stop it while the liberals are trying to encourage it.

She writes "Colorado should be able to bar oath-breaking insurrectionists from our ballot," but she meant to write, "I should be able to bar whoever I want from Colorado's ballot."

The Left started the lawfare, did they expect it wouldn't rebound?

To me it’s impossible to consider that these two events are not connected.

This is legally correct.

And a solar flare wouldn’t focus its effect on one company.

The me too movement doesn’t apply when the accused is a Democrat.

If I was Trump, when I get back to the White House I would say it was hidden all this time so he never has to admit he truly has it and ignores the subpoenas.

Why the Secret Service?

This story and others like it point out what a terrible job Trump’s lawyer did. After the verdict we’re seeing things that should’ve been presented as evidence during the trial.

A bad lawyer is not grounds for appeal.

That's one way to avoid getting embroiled in conflict.

This should be stickied every single day until the election.

It will be interesting to see what MSNBC says when the incumbent Biden cannot get 33%

Because they don’t want a wealthy conservative to buy it and find all the wiring that has no purpose but to deliver power to hidden cameras and the like.

But they are skyrocketing. All my rates are going up. I have a client that owns lots of apartment buildings. Gos insurance went up 125% this year, an annual increase of over $1 million.

It’s now an old trick of the left. They make people believe the polls are close so they can cheat the result and many people will therefore believe the outcome is legit.

The PC woke police eating their own.

The college presidents helped create the monster that is turning in them now.

There is obviously no higher learning going on in that camp.
