Trump To Turn Himself In

If they have to extradite Donald, they will jail him in NY, maybe Ron is dangling bait for Donald, and it would be a quick way to get Donald out of the way and in jail awaiting trial! Ron has a law degree and knows Donald will have to go to NY, so if he can make Donald grasp at a straw and hold out in Mar A Largo, then when they do drag him out kicking and screaming, he will be out of Ron's way for good. A court order made him do it would be his excuse, he regrettably had no choice... Otherwise, it might be a year or more until Donald goes to trial and Ron would like to see him removed before that! :lol:



Maddow: Reckless DeSantis rhetoric would break U.S. legal system

In the midst of the frenzy over the news of Donald Trump's indictment, one politician made especially dangerous remarks that would threaten the foundations of American justice, and it wasn't Donald Trump. Ron DeSantis, in a tweet, suggested that he would ignore the law and his duties as governor in order to help keep Trump from being accountable to the law, a proposition more dangerous than any indictment, Rachel Maddow explains.
I can hear DeSantis in that nasally voice and white go-go boots..'the law is clear'..or 'the law is the law'.

The best thing Trump ever gave DeSantis was Meatball Ron/DeSanctimonious..then he started telling Floridians the truth..how the state of the state was already strong.

And it was.

Felonies are not low-level. You can't be President.
Yes you can be President with a felony conviction. There is nothing in the Constitution that prevents a felon from running for President and assuming office if they win. I thought everyone knew that. I'm sure they've gone over that on MSNBC by now. You must have missed that episode.

These are the requirements to run for President:
  • The candidate contesting for the position must be a natural-born citizen of the United States of America.
  • The candidate must be 35 years or older.
  • The candidate should be a US resident for 14 years.

The last two requirements make sense but the first one is bullshit. Particularly from a country that owes much of its success to immigration.

I don’t know of any other democratic country that has this stipulation.

The Daily Show followed by The Colbert Report was the best hour on tv for a long time
Accurate easily digestible news and opinion with a laugh and that was needed for the past few years in America. On the downside, the writers didn't have to work, the material just wrote itself every time Trump or a republican opened their mouths. Colbert just found out 3 minutes before showtime which was recorded earlier, so much of it was off the cuff and on the fly about Donald's indictment.

Kimmel was on back then, too, but i think he got better later. His monologues
and sensitivity and awareness during interviews is the best. TDS went straight to hell
with Noah hosting. It lost its inclusiveness, and Noah was just too young. I read Noah's
book, "Born A Crime" and was impressed, but he's still just too young. TDS staff has
lost its touch since Stewart was there.

The Colbert Report was during W’s/ Obama’s presidency. We can only imagine how funny it would have been watching Colbert interview trump people.

I liked Trevor Noah too. I liked the diversity of the guests he had on, not that Jon Stewart didn’t have diversity but Noah definitely had more.

Following Jon Stewart is a tough gig and those were some pretty big shoes to fill. I thought Noah did as good of a job as anyone else could have.

I have no problem with the first one. It's the only thing keeping the likes of Elon Musk from running. Or other people born elsewhere from using their wealth to buy their way into the Presidency.

Not make bail, Rikers? Are you serious? Get a grip on reality. He's indicted for low level crimes that if convicted would almost certainly lead to just probation.
Weisselberg is doing time at Rikers and as of this post has dumped Trump attorneys for his own.

What about natural born citizens buying their way into the presidency?

I would be more worried about the homegrown wacos, it’s not like there’s a shortage of them.
