One thing about GA law that might "incentivize" a fellow indictee to turn state's evidence in exchange for a lighter sentence (30 days of "easy time" to quote one of us for example) is that not only can Trump or his rube replacement, not pardon them for a state crime, the govenor cannot either even if he wanted to (which he doesn't).

Under GA law, only a pardon board can grant a pardon and EVEN THEN, only 5 years AFTER the completion of a sentence accompanying a conviction.

So when (not if) they are convicted, Trump's co-conspirators (looking at you Rudy hair dye) WILL serve their full sentences unless the conviction is overturned (not going to happen) or they die in prison (much more likely to happen.

So flip on the Don and save one's ass, or summers in the GA pen (no AC) until they complete the sentence or hit their own expiration dates.

Golly, one wonders which one one or more of his fellow felony indictees will pick?

A piecemeal and systematic destruction of the capabilities of the enemy army: its logistics, technical potential, officers and personnel is exactly what Russia is doing, not the Ukraine

Ukrainian losses are replaced by 32 NATO nations.

Russia’s are replaced by?

N. Korea, lol.

That’s a very strong argument.

Fine, I did a month before, too easy

So you’ve been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment?

Does the Japanese immigration department know this?

Because there’s clearly a check box on the firm for re-entrants that asks @Have you ever been convicted of a crime?”

Failure to disclose and then signing the document as a true statement of fact is a violation of immigration law punishable by deportation.

Trump facing RICO charges in Georgia.

Trump says , “I know RICO better than anyone. He’s the pool boy at my VERY EXCLUSIVE club. He’d never flip!”

doesnt sound lawful to prevent that speech. Cause for recusal.

Because it worked so well in NY, right?

Oh wait, oops lol.

Yeah, good luck with that one.

I really hope that Don’s idiot lawyers are as obtuse about the law as his supporters.

That’s a low bar to limbo under, but given their performance so far, they just might make it.

Violating pre-trial release is not “Freedumb of speech” even when the violations (like the indicted crimes) involve speech.

The exfiltration process from that vehicle is to butter his sides and to throw a pork roast in the road.

Today I learned that in the state of Georgia, the defendant has to make a positive affirmation that he won’t intimidate witnesses or attempt any form of tampering. Good luck with that one!

In light of his behavior in other court cases, the judge could (probably wont) say “I don’t believe you, bail is denied.”

More likely, the judge will read him the riot act ON TV (we get to see “mousy Don-Don” standing petulantly and mute like the inner 5-year old he is) being warned in detail to keep his yap shut.

And then when (not if) he violates the judge’s order, his bail could be revoked and he could spend the rest of the pre-trial detention as a guest if the state of GA.

Wonder how his delay tactics will feel then?

Defendant Don-Don us going to talk himself into a jail cell.

His tough-guy rubes say he wants this to make him a martyr. As Brad’s Pitt’s character says in “Inglorious Basterds”, “Oblige him.” Lol

Let’s see how much starch he has in him when he’s done 30 days in an isolation cell (for his own safety of course!) with no social media access, no adoration of his cult, just access to his grade-z lawyers and baloney sandwiches.

And if 30 days aren’t enough, well then, maybe another 30 days will be?

Lather, rinse, repeat as needed.

I know more than 1/2 the public would be ecstatic to have a break from his incipient whining.

I thought these Jalibur missiles were “unstoppable”?

Huh, that’s weird.

And it seems like Mimi-me is doing his best impression of a 3 year old not getting enough attention.

Must be trying to cover for the incompetence of his “army.”

What do they write in their little notebooks? Every word that he says?

My guess is that they are doing a Jackie Trees horn from The Big Lebowski.

No, he did not forget to lower the gear.

This isn't some goober on a comment thread.

Its a certified instructor rated to instruct on that particular aircraft.

The gear failed to lower.

He’s covering for something.

Could be that he’s ramping up military production for hard currency contracts with Russia.

Could be that he is struggling internally due to economic stagnation and popular discontent (we wouldn’t hear about this till he’s either gone or is truly ganging by a thread).

Could be both.

Point is, SOMETHING is driving. Fat boi’s behavior and it’s not an imaginary Western “threat.”

Nor should it.

It only encourages the hegemonists in Beijing.

The world's most effective set of hair plugs is not going to risk them for something as stupid as keeping his word.

I mean, if he was interested in that, "X" wouldn't be a cesspool of nazis, xenophobes and misogynists.

I dare Kyiv to hit third party flagged freighters bound for Russia's BS ports.

Double dare to hit a Chinese, Indian, South African, South American and/or NAM vessel.

Triple dare: hit the freighters transporting free grain and fertilizer to Africa and beyond.

What? No Triple dog - dare?

The guy begging for change outside of the train station has sovereignty - not those scumbags who

blah blah blah.

The UN (as well as NATO and the rest of the world INCLUDING the PRC) sees it rather differently.

You repeat this every time.

You're free to go "elsewehere"....

You do realize the "sanctions" on insurance have been in place since November 2022 fully implemented since at least January 2023 and guess what?

The Russians are shipping less?

Without insurance, nobody ships. Perhaps the Russians and/or the Chinese are self-insuring. However....

None of that has been going through war zones. That will have some effect. Certainly oil and gas exports are not using this routing.

The vast majority of global shipping insurance is provided by Western insurance companies. They are not insuring, so the Russians are shipping less. Through this particular channel, less is likely to mean "nil" for anything not food related in the very near future.

But no worries. The "mighty" (stifles a snigger) Russian economy (that word could also be put in quotations) will surely weather this turn of events about as well as the might Rubel has.

both Moscow and Kyiv have issued warnings and carried out attacks 

both.

But only one has instigated war against a sovereign nation based on a BS lie.

Also, only 1 has it's flag ship sitting at the bottom of the Black Sea as a result of said war based on BS lies.

So there is that as well.

One wonders just how many Russian freighters are going to be passing the Bosphoris when they have no shipping inurance due to sanctions?

The last fatal accident for JAL was this one in 1985.

The last Hull loss for ANA was 1972.

Japanese airlines are incredibly safe and were the leaders in cabin sanitation procedures during Covid.

One wonders if directed energy weapons (lasers) wouldn't be a better solution.

The special prosecutor was named at his own request. I'm a bit unclear as to why given that he already had authority to look into anything he wanted and could bring charges in any jurisdiction. But it's done so be it. Lets see what he comes up with.

There remains zero evidence tying Joe Biden, you know - the one actually running for elected office to anything vaguely resembling a crime.

And as as Stranger said, so much for the DOJ being in Biden's pocket.

Hell, nothing can make the GQP happy as they're criticizing naming a US attorney, named under Trump and retained under Biden to a special prosecutor position.

And just to head the moral equivalence off at the pass, if this prosecutor can prove that Hunter is guilty in a court of law of crimes meeting prison, then by all means, send him to prison.

But the so far unsupported allegations are not in the same orbit as a sitting POTUS attempting a coup (among other crimes). Its not even in the same solar system.

And the electorate is going to recognize as much.

They prevent serious illness and death. Much lick the flu vaccine. And that's more than good enough.

If everyone took them (as with the polio and small pox vaccines) then they would be remarkably effective at preventing infection because the reservoir of the virus would be so limited.

Sadly there are a large number of anti-vaxx goobers for whom stupid is as stupid does.

China doesn't charge as much as other airlines 

Because Chinese airlines don't waste money on piddling things like maintenance or pilot training.

Be my guest, "Rodney".

Send your Yuan, Rubes and crypto on over. Lets see just how much of it goes to food aid and how much (100%) goes to high-end booze for the glutton in chief.

Or to put it in language that the anti-vaxx “community” can more easily understand, “Stupid is as stupid does”.

Fill it it with concrete and call it an island. The CCP dies it. Why not other countries?

Fortunately everyone who wants to has access to safe and effective vaccines.

Those too obtuse to follow basic science can be left to their fate.

It might be the “US election variant” in that only members of the MAGA cult are too stupid to get vaccinated . As such, they may be available to vote in fewer numbers owing to the fact that they’ve died of Covid in the last 4 years.

One wonder just how thick one has to be to believe that man-made climate change is not a real thing.

Apparently Trump-supporter thick.
