Fulton County, Ga. prosecutor Fani Willis is expected to begin presenting her case against former president Donald Trump and his associates this week. Here’s what to expect.

The language here sets up the kind of appeal that, if Cannon gives Trump what he wants, might trigger the Eleventh Circuit to question her impartiality. However, I still highly doubt DOJ would ever bring such a motion. https://t.co/JBuhBJjLcM

Trump’s biggest “success”, by far, is being born filthy rich. Nothing else comes close.
His second biggest success is him happening to be exactly the kind of lying resentful shitbird demagogue the GOP establishment has been training the GOP base for decades to follow. Hence the Pied Piper act of 2016.

That comment appeared to refer to part of the sheriff’s report that said Jackson tried to care for the patient by putting a gumball in her mouth as a way to elevate blood sugar. Jackson suggested to Young that he did that because she may have been hypoglycemic; Young said she was anemic and Jackson disagreed, telling Young he does not have the medical knowledge to know that.

Ironically, the representative from the Great State of Denial is correct in that Biden and McCarthy (most likely) do agree on something.

He knows how a government shutdown is going to look, at a critical period in time when Republicans are already having to deal with an uncomfortable association with America’s most infamous indicted felon. He is most likely putting feelers out among the non-crazy Republicans and the Democrats to see if he can manage to save both his own ass and the government budget.

Interestingly, this means that he may not see time for the federal charges. Because the federal sentencing guidelines for the crimes for which he has been accused carry an effective 3-5 year “maximum” (recommended sentencing for a first-time convict), and because those same guidelines specify that sentences with overlapping charges should run concurrent wherever possible, it is entirely within the realm of plausibility that he could spend the rest of his days languishing in a Georgia supermax facility.

Jack Smith’s Fed charges are not Phony Fani’s State Rico charges.
He gets to serve time in separate State and Federal prisons if convicted on both indictments.
This is why we are drinking French 75s. He has screwed the pooch and is dead in the water.
I had the blinds closed to keep it cooler in here. I just opened them to a surprisingly red sunset. So I checked inciweb, shurr nuff; there are 3 fires within 100 miles of here.
I’m back from a marathon village board meeting.
Per a request I made earlier in the year, the village went through a formal audit from the state auditor’s office. For the last couple weeks, a poor woman was sent all the way out here to Wyobraska to formally audit the village books. (We normally get waivers from the state.) With several villages in Nebraska busted over the last year for millions of dollars in missing money, I though it would be a good idea for a formal audit. (It’s not that I don’t trust our village clerk or the late village clerk, I just want the village to have a clean bill of fiscal health.)
As it turns out, the books are perfect. We’ve also spent a lot less than we projected this year.
Neither the accountant nor the village attorney thought much of my suggestion we dissolve the municipality and divide up the $500,000 or so we have in the bank amongst the ninety-three residents.
We finally have a new maintenance mechanic; we hired him tonight. He is from here, but moved away to Tennessee a long time ago. He moved back a couple years ago because Tennessee was too expensive. He’s starting on a sixty-day probationary period, during which the village will send him to state certification classes at our expense. He’ll start at $15/hour. We also hired a second person to mow city properties for the same rate.
I got two appointment cards in the mail from the VA today: I have an appointment at 1500 next Monday in Sidney, and 1501 (really) in Cheyenne. I need to get on the phone and ask them to work this out between them.

re: #199 No Malarkey!
I was hoping Lindsay would be indicted for his phone call to interfere with the Georgian elections.
