About what? We’ve got everything from debate about whether Trump will or won’t face an indictment to wondering whether or not you may be an incel who whacks off into a pretty sock.

Donald was lucky before, but his luck ran out, he's in way over his head and when they nail him, it will be with a spike through the forehead!Personally I believe he will stall and delay past November

There is a first time for everything and precedent in other democracies, Trump was no ordinary president and he won't have an ordinary end either. Look at the news and see what people are convicted of and how little evidence is required to do it, a lot less evidence than the mountain that exists against Trump. Trump was lazy and stupid and he habitually discounted future consequences, they were sloppy and amateurish, and left a mile wide paper trail and many witnesses. In some cases Trump committed crimes in public view and in a couple of cases, confessed on TV or threw others under the bus. Woodward has a recording of him confessing the covid lie early in the pandemic FFS, mass manslaughter by a dereliction of duty and malicious incompetence.

It’s a little weird to have George Conway giving us material like this to ponder and suggesting that a grand jury look long and hard at the former president.
This same guy was a big Trump supporter during the 2016 election. I won’t even get into his wife and her “alternative facts” BS.
The Lincoln Project stuff is by and large pretty well done and it really just points out that Trump was never fit to hold the office he did. Conway can definitely claim that he saw the light, but he was still an early cheerleader. There does not seem to be a place for him in the current version of the Republican Party.

It is my hope that guys like him will form an American conservative party to challenge the republicans for the right wing vote, a sane alternative. They will attract lawyers and money like a magnet and can, with time and cash, overcome the duopoly in many states and get other parties on the ballot. Open primaries would be another goal for such a group and blunt the power of the radicals, especially those on the right. It would divide the right and keep the republicans from power at least, while they built up to eventually replace them. The racist yokels would wither on the vine, starved of any funding but their own, while being lead by psychos and con artists who will rob them blind.

I am pretty sure that this is a list of all of the NY AG's since the 80s.
One of these is not like the others. (or maybe two, since Barbara Underwood also messed up Trump. lol looked up her career and found out she is the one that shut down Trump's crooked 'charities') It gives me hope.
Hopefully New York's second female, and first black Attorney General can finish what the first female AG started.
More proof that all elections matter, and the right wing troll AG's need to get voted out across the nation.

NEW YORK — For a decade, Barbara Underwood was an apolitical force in New York, quietly serving as solicitor general before getting an unexpected promotion to become the state's first female attorney general.
Now, the 74-year-old Democrat, who abruptly ascended to the office after a scandal felled her predecessor, is going back to her old job after a nearly eight-month turn in the spotlight.
This time she will be serving under another woman, Letitia James, another Democrat who was sworn into the job in Albany late Monday night.
Underwood will be able to look back on a record as a leading antagonist of President Donald Trump — if only briefly.
She sued to put Trump's charitable foundation out of business, accusing him of running it as a wing of his private businesses and political campaign. Underwood also used the courts to challenge his administration on a multitude of policy fronts, including opposing its push to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.
Those attacks earned Underwood scorn from Trump. In a tweet, he bristled that she "does little else but rant, rave & politic against me."
Underwood, who has never held elected office and declined to run for the attorney general's job, always said that politics had nothing to do with it. And she said she's content to be going back to the lower-profile job of solicitor general.
"I like that role, and so I'm happy to go back to doing it," she told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "I have come to like this too. It's not that I'm eager to leave this, but I'm very happy to be going on to something that I know I like."
Underwood was appointed attorney general by the state legislature in May after the surprise resignation of Eric Schneiderman, who quit just hours after The New Yorker posted a story in which four women accused him of slapping or choking them. Schneiderman later apologized to his accusers; the special prosecutor who investigated the allegations declined to bring criminal charges.
Underwood said Schneiderman's May 7 resignation came without warning.
When the night started, she said, all she and her colleagues knew was that a news article about him was about to be published.
"I had no idea that this particular event was going to happen until it happened," Underwood said.
They went to a bar to wait for what came next. Schneiderman announced he would resign and a colleague told Underwood: "It looks like you're going to be the next attorney general. Are you ready?"
"I thought, 'OK here we go. Let's not lose any time. Let's not lose any morale, any energy," Underwood said. "There was no time lag for me, and I didn't want there to be a time limit for anyone else."
She said the big change was having to deal with the media.
Underwood didn't seek election to a full term, clearing the way for James, the New York City public advocate, to seek the office. Not facing a campaign likely gave Underwood more flexibility, former state attorney general Dennis Vacco said.
"She had an independence and a freedom that wasn't tethered to the will of the people and the ballot box," Vacco, a Republican said. "She leaves a rather stable environment for AG-elect James to come into now."
James, who also made history as the first black woman elected to statewide office in New York, praised Underwood for doing an "excellent job."
Aside from challenging Trump, Underwood negotiated civil settlements with hospitals that she accused of wrongly billing rape victims for evidence kits, sued Exxon, claiming that it was misleading investors about climate change, and investigated phony public comments submitted to the Federal Communications Commission over internet regulation.
The job is the high mark, so far, of a career that Underwood said didn't always "go in a straight line."
She has taught law at Yale and was a law clerk for Thurgood Marshall, the first black Supreme Court justice, and for David Bazelon, the former chief judge of the D.C. Court of Appeals. She worked as an assistant district attorney and federal prosecutor in Brooklyn, and was a top deputy to U.S. Solicitor General Seth Waxman during President Bill Clinton's administration. She was also the nation's acting solicitor general for six months in 2001, the first woman in that post.
Underwood has argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court 20 times.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who hired Underwood as solicitor general in 2007, praised her "brilliant legal mind" and professionalism.
Underwood said it was an honor to have gotten a chance to serve.
"It is a special honor to be in that role right now when so many people are looking to this office to protect them and their rights. I feel privileged to hold this role and to do this important work and I'm glad that people appreciate it."
Hopefully New York's second female, and first black Attorney General can finish what the first female AG started.
