I predict some jail time (1 mo. - 1 year) with probation after. (1-3 years total)

Figure pulled straight from my ass based on a Dunning-Kruger level of knowledge of the US justice system.

It's as valid as any pundit's opinion you'll see on the teevee.

And while Trump may end up paying a big fine, I am doubtful he will ever see the inside of a prison cell. Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg was sentenced to 5 months for business fraud and then again for perjury. There are in fact a host of aggravating factors that argue for jail time for Trump himse...

Mitch O'Connell is saying that he expects the convictions to be overturned on appeal. Question - can Trump go straight to SCOTUS or does he have to go via NYS Court of Appeals? And, in fact, in NYS there are lower level appellate courts. Does he have to go to each in turn? Trump first must appeal t...

Six weeks until sentencing. How much more can the convicted felon antagonize the sentencing judge between now and then? J. Merchan has kept his cool but I can't help but think he's seriously considering whether to impose some jail time in addition to whatever monetary penalties are available. It wou...

Couldn't happen to a more deserving criminal.

It's seen as the "white" party that tries to hug black folks. LOL, I was looking for a way to express that feeling I was getting. The DA gets its votes mostly from white and colored people who look at the mess in the other provinces (ANC variety) and do not want incompetent and corrupt leaders, tha...

I don't know anything about the Democratic Alliance and it's hard to get a bead on them skimming the press. From what I can gather, they seem to be a lot like the Christian Democrat parties of Europe. Is that a fair assessment?

But I can't think that a return of Jacob Zuma in a ruling coalition would be a good thing. ANC set to lose majority after watershed vote Umberto BACCHI with Zama LUTHULI in Durban May 30, 2024 South Africa's ruling ANC was on course to lose its 30-year-old unchallenged majority on Thursday after vot...

O hai, Sam, if there is not even an appearance of bias or impropriety in the flags affair, why are you telling Senators such terrible lies about it? COURTS Alito Refuses To Recuse In Trump Case As Reporters Catch Him In Yet Another Lie It's not so much that Sam Alito is a liar, it's that he's so bad...

What happens when you fail Class 101 I get it, you don't care for Wu Tang Clan; that's why they make both vanilla and almond fudge ripple ice cream. People said the same about The SexPistols, The Who, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Strauss, and all the way back to the first person who made music, probably...

In case you didn't see this somewhere else: Flags In, Flags Out A Memorial Day Weekend tradition. CHARLOTTE CLYMER MAY 26, 2024 For several years, as a young soldier, I took part in a special tradition for Memorial Day Weekend. At the time, I was in the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), ba...

Did someone call for an eggsorcism?

FTFY.

Sue--of course, even with 13 members we could have Trump appointing another 4 justices next year. Well it should have been done 3 years ago or at least right after the Dobbs decision: And because the Court's decision is so far out of step with super-majority opinion in this country, it is probably ...

So does that mean he is dead?

He's been brain-dead for years.

Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh are Exhibits A, B and C for the argument as to why we need a 13-member Supreme Court.

I know Kristi Noem is very much last week's news, but I just saw this video this morning and I have to say, well done!
