Because if Biden can’t finish his term, a black woman will be president.

I don’t know if you don’t realize it, but you just agreed with the pithy quote.

Yes, he’s trying to “protect” landlords and other cops with these vetoes.

If he wins, we’re done. No doubt about it. However, if we hold back the fascists this election (this includes the House and Senate,) there is a real chance at landing a huge defeat to maga extremism in '26 and '28.

Yes, you should be paying attention to your local politics: right wing extremism is on the rise everywhere.

It was this judge that put the initial partial gag order in place, and when he did it he basically said, “you can talk shit about me all you want,I believe that too be your right, just don’t bring my staff into it.”

Then when Trump continued to bring up his clerk, the judge fined him what he was allowed to, which was something like $10k. Wish it could be more, but them’s the rules.

As has been stated elsewhere in this thread, the various judges on these cases are giving Trump and team a lot of leeway, because they don’t want anything overturned on appeal. This judge has actually shut a lot of nonsense down, while allowing other nonsense to go forward, while being extremely sarcastic about it. He also just told Trump that he won’t be able to testify (ie rant) during closing arguments in this case.

FYI, all Starbucks brand coffee sold outside of actual Starbucks stores is actually Nestle, which is definitely unethically produced.

Are you intentionally using misleading phrasing here? Sure seems like it.

To put it a different way: 40 out of the 50 states allow minors under 18 to be married, with 30 of those 40 allowing children under 17 to be married.

Since those people being married are under 18, they don’t have the legal rights of an adult, with guardianship going to their spouse. Can you see how that is a problem?

This is basically what is currently happening in many states.

Many parents will also travel if their home state won’t allow it. Iirc, Missouri Kansas is a popular choice, because they will allow a child as young as 14 15 to be married to an adult.

I think that they are both idiots, and an organized threat to democracy. Like the CIA during the Project Condor years. Those guys were mostly morons, but they had a firehose of money, and tons of manpower. Very similar to the GOP at this point.

I know it can be difficult to search for answers when you have questions. I did a deep dive into the subject matter, and found the following info hidden within the first sentence:

Overtime pay for cops in New York’s subway system increased from $4 million in 2022 to $155 million over the same period in 2023, according to an analysis by Gothamist.

We can excuse the racism, the transphobia, and the antisemitism, but we draw the line at drugs!

It’s a stupid protest, because the only reason any third party people are on the ballot is because they want to be Biden spoilers. Jill Stein is a Russian op, for example.

None of these “third parties” even run in want local, or even any federal elections besides president. They are fake parties, why would you encourage that sort of thing? To “say” you don’t like Biden enough? You think these Russian and GOP dark money funded people are more worthy of your vote?

Give them good jobs at NASA and other government agencies?

This is every colonizer’s playbook: you make constant small incursions, then when the people finally push back, you use it as an excuse to wipe them out and take the land.

Your edit has been my pet theory for some time. That and he gets to ruin a platform that leftists have used to organize around the world.

Yeah. Your item on Amazon often will say “order fulfilled by Company Y.” You can look that company up to see if you can order directly from them, that way they still get the sale without Bezos taking his cut.

No he isn’t. If anything he’s gone more Info Wars style.

The minimum that will happen here is the $250 million fine. That’s because he’s already been found guilty of the top count. The current trial is to determine if he’s guilty of the other counts, and how much more Trump will be fined. He could also lose his ability to operate any of his businesses in NYS (this may have already happened, I can’t remember.)

This is also a bench trial, since his attorneys forgot to ask for a jury trial. That means the judge will decide if he’s guilty of the further counts, and what the punishments will be. The same judge that he’s been screaming at from the stand, threatening on social media, and whose staffers trump has also been threatening and doxxing.

That’s OP’s headline.

I don’t see what the city prosecutor has to do with it. This is similar to a FOIA request, just based on Kansas law, which is pretty clear:

The law states: “Public record” means any recorded informations, regardless of form, characteristics or locations, that is made, maintained or kept by or is in possession of: (A) Any public agency; or (B) any officer or employee of a public agency pursuant to the officer’s or employee’s official duties and that is related to the functions, activities, programs or operations of any public agency.

This guy’s cell phone is clearly “kept in the possession of an officer or employee of a public agency.” The city is arguing that asking for the cell phone is an “undue burden” efficiency is ridiculous on its face.

The reason that records acts like this are put in place is because the way you described it working would be a clear conflict of interest: the city prosecutor suing the city to turn over the records of an official, with an attorney hired by the city working to keep those records from being public.
