I like LFS’s side of this bet, and I’m willing to take action that he can’t book.
As we’ve already discussed in the past, I’m good with death provisions, but “some physical malady that requires hospitilazion or otherwise prevents what you would call normal incarceration conditions” is not gonna work for me. I’m sure if it gets down to it, his lawyers are going to absolutely argue that he is too infirm to be imprisoned and Dr. Ronnie Jackson will be happy to testify to that. He is very live to weasel out of it that way.
It’s a good point and I don’t think you’re wrong. I’m sure they’ll do everything they can to make it easy on him. I just think there’s a legit chance a 78 yo has a stroke, cardiac event, or develops some other malady too. Especially, since he seems to almost need dementia care now
IANAL, but I think it’s settled law that you can’t bargain away your basic civil rights like you can’t sign away your right to vote so I don’t think there’s a legal way Trump could give up his right to run for office. I think the 5-4 podcast had a discussion abou tthis.
And yet, his personal COVID performance underscored how important the appearance of vitality is to him.
It is fascinating to watch this unfold. On one side you have “people who know shit” and on the other are the underpants gnome crew. Hard to say what happens.
But under state law, the identities of the jurors are not secret. In fact, the names of the Fulton County jurors are listed on Page 9 of the 98-page indictment released late Monday that criminally charges former president Donald Trump and 18 others.
Yeah, kinda feel sorry for her, but this is what Fox News and other right wing media helps to create. And it’s also why Trump ran against “the media” (ie, not right wing) because normal media gives people a different perspective.
That said, I’m kinda missing Tucker’s tears in this whole thing.
