@HC_Richardson Notice that the moderators have let Trump get in the last word EVERY TIME. They won't cut his mic. One time Kamala tried to do it, they cut her off.
@StephanieJ_DC@Teri_Kanefield Their motive to go through an "awful lot of trouble" is to maintain a PR veneer of justice while they play into Trump's strategy of delay delay delay. Why else would they deny cert in December and then grant it >2 months later? Then set a timeline that will kill the trials?
@StephanieJ_DC@Teri_Kanefield For now I will defer to your superior knowledge. But an awful lot of thoughtful pundits have been wrong in their recent predictions. Time will tell whether justice will ever be served. The cancer has metastasized. Meanwhile, I fear the violence that will happen after Nov 5.
@StephanieJ_DC@Teri_Kanefield Things changed with the 6-3 court. Their goal orientation is demonstrated in multiple cases including Dobbs, gun cases, etc. We'll see in time whether this bleeds over to DJT's benefit. They seem to be playing his delay game. Luttig seems pretty upset.
@Teri_Kanefield I think you're mischaracterizing a lot of true patriots. Four years should be enough to investigate, indict, and try. That's not quickly. By pissing away 2 years, Garland allowed the cancer to spread, and the bitter memories of Jan 6 to fade...
@Teri_Kanefield@StephanieJ_DC ...and your thoughtful excuses for Merrick Garland's slow-as-molasses action against DJT has proven to be wrong. There wasn't time to work from the bottom up. Starting with Jan 6, there was enough evidence on video to charge, and then investigate more.
@Teri_Kanefield@StephanieJ_DC When are the "thoughtful pundits" going to wise up and realize that SCOTUS is 100% goal-oriented? They'll fabricate whatever "doctrine" they need to keep DJT in power. If "constructionist" doesn't work, they'll just make something else up... 1/2
@MarcBodnick I'm no expert at this, but I always heard that the editors write the titles of these pieces. So it's entirely plausible that Nate never used that word.
@MAGNEDETH Agreed. Good points. Huge ego and delusions of invincibility also play a role. Hard to believe that he could end up blowing away his entire $44 billion investment. Actual costs, including expenses of quickly raising the needed cash, are even higher.
@Bld631@chmorley @Aidnos13 @rononarun@TheRickWilson OK, Dr. APA, when did you personally examine her? โ[I]t is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statementโ https://t.co/hHe4dkvrYf
@gtconway3d She is way overthinking this. In the next few days, we will be reading about how this guy mysteriously fell out of a 4th floor window, or died of an "upset stomach" (poison). That was probably part of Putin's deal with Lukashenko.
