TRUMP 2024

First of all the word is recuse. A recluse is something else entirely. Secondly, the judge did not follow the law or legal ethics. If there is even "the appearance of a conflict" all the affected parties need to recuse themselves. That is both law and a basic tenant of legal ethics. And before the libtards start attacking, I spent 6 years dealing with conflicts for the law firm I was CFO of.

Glad that, as a canadian, have done a thorough legal review of the case and determined that Fani has a slam dunk case. Please inform the uninitiated among us, what charges must be proven to win a conviction in a RICO case?

Does this apply to Judge Thomas or is that different?

Neither, a small screen and poor eyesight were the problem. I changed a sentence to make the it easier to read and thought the "are" was deleted. Sorry about that. The point of my response to Woody was the GOP is perhaps the biggest obstacle to Trump's reelection. Since I wrote that, I saw a headline of an article that said, "Trump warns that the streets will run red with blood if he is not reelected". That is very democratic.

You are correct, I apologize. I don't know your situation what do you do that you don't rely on the economy?

I call BS on 'streets will run red with blood'.

Didn't notice it thanks.

In Groegia the appreance of conflict is not grounds for her to be removed from the case. The judges written order did address what you said but I respect his decision over yours.

As for the RICO case a jury will decide that

In Georgia it is, but you do your canadian law. I didn't ask if a jury would decide it. I asked for your expert analysis of what must be proven in a RICO case. Come on professor, educate us. Or should we just assume you have no idea?

I definitely have less discretionary funds than I did 4 years ago. And I have not heard a single person say they are better off today than 4 years ago but I hear a bunch saying how they are barely scraping by now. Not sure how anyone can say they are better off financially when everything we buy is up at least 20% but wages are up nowhere near that. I haven't got a raise in 3 years, not even COLA.

Bought ground beef yesterday for the first time in awhile at Sam's. The price per pound has doubled under @Iprof, @M & L and @cdillerud/@clarkgriswald's boy Biden. I didn't include @West Coast in this because he is an Trudeau PAL.

Relevance? Are you referring to something in your inferior socialist country? Or are you just being a douche?

Relevance is he should recuse himself from any Jan 6 case according to your own post. I love my country…I know you can’t say the same!

Unemployment is down, income is up at both the the personal and corporate level. Statista.com has all the data in easy to read graphs that shows the economy is cooking right along.

Thanks for "less discretionary funds" comment. I've been trying to figure out why there are some who think the economy is not doing great.

Do you think "less discretionary funds" is the main reason that some, believe the economy is doing poorly? 4 years ago the world economy was in a dither with Covid rules and an uncertain future. This came to a head in 2022 with stock prices falling, roughly 23% depending on where you invested your savings.

In 2023, the stock prices went back up approximately 26%, or returned to the 2021 prices and they are are up YTD 24%.

As to you not having "less discretionary funds", The liberal press and President Biden blame corporate profits, for your lack of discretionary income. The conservative press blames Biden's Covid giveaways. And the middle press blames both the Covid giveaways for giving the American public enough money to pay more and corporations not dropping prices because people are willing to spend more.

I found an article on CNN, written by Tami Luhby "why are prices still so high" dated 03/11 that gives a solid, simple explanation. It even has a boat owner reference that points to both corporate profits and our ability to pay. Of course, it doesn't assign any blame to the Biden Administration for giving too much money to the American public.

First of all the word is "tenent". A tenant is something else entirely.

People in glass houses......

Just sayin'

Probably, I just glanced at the headline, as not from my usual sources. Did you understand my response, that Trump has a large number of conservatives who will be a stumbling block to his reelection.

Most of Trump's supporters focus on the crazy left and never consider "normies" as someone wrote earlier in this thread. Pence and his people are never going to vote for Trump. More Conservatives are coming out and saying they are conservatives over Republican. It will be interesting to see how the GOP moves forward.

PS. I did a quick look into the "bloodbath" comment and it seems that it is part of Trump's usual rhetoric. He is referring to President Biden causing the "bloodbath". Sorry about that, I haven't kept up with either Trump or President Biden's rhetoric.

Had to edit the Post script.

It’s the “FAKE NEWS” running with the “BLOODBATH STORY”. His AI generated response mucked it up.

I’ll let the liberally I’ll fools run with it. It continually makes them look stupid in CSR.

Thursday I took my 2019 Lariat into the dealer for a tailgate recall. I looked at a new one. Went back Friday and have it for a test drive weekend. I'm probably going to buy it. My youngest daughter bought a house in 2021 and a new Jeep in January. I have a cousin on a group trip to Egypt right now and one that just came back from Paris. Funny how people that plan and prepare their financial future don't seem to have a problem.
 
Trump last night went on a rambling rant at a rally as usual but this one left the audience scratching their heads.
"You know what’s interesting? Joe Biden won against Barack Hussein Obama. Has anyone ever heard of him? Every swing state, Biden beat Obama but in every other state, he got killed,”  Trump said

I don't follow political talk because it is puffery. The President's words are supposed to carry more weight, while the opposition doesn't have many constraints on the puffery they spew.

I find political speech less than useful so don't follow it.

Unemployment is down from 3 years ago. Not disagreeing there. The problem is context. When Covid hit it wiped out hundreds of thousands of jobs. There was nowhere for it to go but up so no credit should be given there.
One of the big issues I see is people demanding $20/hour to flip burgers. People who put their life on the line daily don't get paid that. When you have to pay $20/hour to flip burgers well you have to raise your prices to cover it. Me and my wife used to be able to go to McDonalds a few years ago and spend about $10-12 for both of us. today it's $18 for the same meals.Our local McDonalds is now hiring 14 year olds at 420/hour cause nobody wants to work. That is the fault of the dems for handing out free money and rewarding people for not working.

I know this is a political thread. It sure as hell isn't an economic thread. Everyone points to inflation as a sign that the economy is toast.

I thought I've been clear, I'm trying to learn. Part of what I'm curious about, is why anyone thinks Trump is fit to be President.

I've thought he was a poor choice the first time around. I was very surprised that his administration was middling. That was so much better than I predicted.

His tax cut was as big a mistake as President Biden's Covid largesse in terms of inflation. Trump's tax cut gave money to the rich and President Biden's gave it mainly to the "regular" citizen although everybody who could line up at the trough, did.

One of the greatest strengths of our economic system is price fluctuation. If you are old enough, you will remember when gasoline ran out at the pumps. Production didn't rise when the shortage occurred and investment in refineries lagged because it wasn't worth the risk to invest in a capped market.

You want prices to drop, don't pay the price. You are free.
