Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!

I'm tempted to just say "no" but that would be somewhat misleading, so I'll say, "no, before that."

Re: Trump and others charged with conspiring to overturn 2020 election in Georgia

And to temper my dismay: we have been here before, but we didn't know it. Richard Nixon probably didn't need to break the law to win the 1972 election, but that's what he did, with Watergate and other acts of election interference. Nixon probably broke the law in 1968 as well, by undermining the U....

Both Kreis and you are correct. He is making a technical legal point; you are a making a broader, more general statement.

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread

I think this is correct : "Imagine how the media would react if in 2012 Barack Obama was on trial for election campaign fraud involving a sex with a porn star. Literally every op-ed in America would be calling for him to drop out." So what changed in the past dozen years that made the med...

Re: Trump and others charged with conspiring to overturn 2020 election in Georgia

And another one bites the dust. The day after Judge Cannon essentially killed any chance of the Mar-a-Lago documents case going to trial before the election, the Georgia Court of Appeals does the same for this case. https://twitter.com/AnnaBower/status/1788202883785089408 In about a month and half t...

Re: Trump Charged With 37 counts of Espionage, Obstruction and related crimes

I don't see any real issue with Ty Cobb commenting on this case, and I think he is right, with the caveat that if Trump wins the election the case will likely disappear before she is able to be replaced.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

Ben Wittes, at least, thought that the testimony was a disaster for the prosecution, and that beating that she is taking and will take tomorrow on cross-examination outweighs any benefit of the testimony. I'm not sure I agree with him on this one.

Merchan denies the motion. He points out that not only did he sustain most of the defense objections, at some points where he was surprised that there was not an objection he intervened sua spotted.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

Blanche has moved for a mistrial on the grounds that too many details were testified to by Daniel's despite the judge repeated sustaining of objections and that therefore the prejudicial impact outweighs the probation value.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

This is a detail about the PP/DD settlement agreement that I either didn't know or had forgotten about.



That certainly is suggestive that the story is true.
