It's not a surprise that republicans are against socialism, but why go the extra effort to mislead the titles? Obviously Republicans would encourage access to contraceptives if there was money to be made. Obviously Republicans would vote against "ghost guns" if it empowered the 2a. It's okay with me if you want to balloon inflation and have a "society on rails", but I don't see you gaining support with this method. Nothing about it can gain support. It can only reinforce the support of people who are already on the same edge as you are and turn away centrists who actually care about everyone.

By taking dishonest measures to make your opposition look crazy, you are showing the hand that you don't mind coercive measures via deception, and that works against you.

Debated whether or not to make a new thread, but I guess this is tangentially related. Donald Trump and his businesses have been found liable for years of fraud, and the judge has ordered the dissolution of the entire Trump organization.

Turns out his entire "corporation" only employed twelve assholes, everybody else were independent contractors and temps. They should turn his buildings into homeless shelters so they can actually do some good for once, and as a bonus that would piss him off more than any other option.

Erm...call me blind, but how is this tangentially related to the Georgia probe? :unsure:
(other than this being about Donald Trump, obviously)


That said: I can't say I'm surprised in the least. The allegations were leaked when this case began...2019, iirc.
Then again, the fact that he went that far to hide his tax records after promising he'd show them means you can go back all the way to his 2016 candidacy.

I'm kind of wondering why articles still bother to quote Donald Trump: he just does this stupid conman impression he always does. Mark my words: if he falls out of a window, his last words while falling will be something in the lines of "gravity is being very un-American again!!!"

Those who cooperate will receive much lighter penalties. Nobody wants to be the only one left holding the bag, so the dominoes are likely to start falling soon.
To be clear, I was talking about Trump whole criminal career, not just this case. Like all the people charged for Jan 6, for example.

It's an interesting development, but this isn't the right conclusion. The voting machine tampering isn't related to the game electors which isn't related to that phone call to find those votes. Except, of course, that these combined form the conspiracy of proven.
Truth is that Hall barely if ever met Trump (got that from another source this morning), and was really a foot soldier for Powell in this case.
Trump nor the republican party has any reason to cheer for Hall, and I doubt it'll even diminish their perception of the with hunt.

Exactly, the people one rung up the ladder know that Hall will be telling prosecutors all about them, which puts pressure on one of them to flip and sell out someone even higher than themselves. And we all know who was at the top of the whole thing. The verdict could end up being a lock before the trial even begins.

Their delusional perception of things makes no difference. The facts will be undeniable once all the evidence is presented.

First Hall, then Powell... And now Chesebro as well:

Who'll be next? My bet is on Eastman, with Giuliani close behind

Jenna Ellis has now taken a plea deal in Georgia after raising $200k for her defense fund from MAGA world. Gotta love it when the grifters get a taste of their own medicine. Dominoes are starting to fall fast now.

Indeed. Mark Meadows is arguably next. He accepted an immunity plea deal for a testimony (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...ws-trump-overturn-election-tesitmony-immunity).

The'arguably'is because that's in the federal case, not the georgia one. Not sure if that extends to this case as well, though the testimony is of course important.
