The new schedule reflects the array of #legal issues that #JudgeCannon has yet to resolve amid efforts by Trump’s legal team to #delay the #TrumpTrial.
"Georgia's Court of Appeals paused court proceedings Wednesday in former President Trump's state 2020 election subversion case while it reviews appeals, including whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can stay on the case."
@AxiosNews reports: "The pause in proceedings makes it unlikely that the Georgia case goes to trial before the November election."
This is my Representative and his son on the floor of Congress. I'll add that John Rose met his mother when she was about 12 or 14 when she was a student in Future Farmers of America. He's just being a kid.
Big show of family support on the 1st day of #HunterBiden’s trial.
In addition to #POTUS’ statement, Hunter’s wife, Melissa Cohen, his sister Ashley Biden, his friend Kevin Morris, Peter Neal, who is married to Hunter’s daughter Naomi, & #FLOTUS Dr. #JillBiden are in attendance.
President #Biden will be in Wilmington, DL, w/no appearances scheduled. But he has given no indication that he would be in the courthouse — a possibility that would require considerable security arrangements.
Many people, pundits & politicians are comparing & commenting on #HunterBiden’s trial in reference to the #TrumpTrial that concluded w/34 felony guilty convictions last week.
However, there are vast differences in the 2 cases — chief among them that Hunter Biden is NOT running for anything, NOR has he ever held or aspired to hold any ELECTED OFFICE.
Still, #Republicans are certain to seize on these difficult episodes in the Biden family’s past.
From the article: “We were also told by pundits that the case was trivial—merely about marital infidelity, passed over by federal prosecutors, old and stale and, critically and unforgivably, not about Jan. 6 and thus irrelevant to Trump’s greatest crimes against democracy.
“Triviality is a matter of opinion, of course. But I confess that as I watched it, I did not find the case trivial. I found it nauseating, a grouping of some of the least attractive and sleaziest human beings I have ever imagined in proximity to the levers of power. And critically, these were people actively and consciously engaged in an effort to corrupt an election. I came away from the trial thinking it was actually important that Trump had to answer for this conduct, whether he was convicted of it or not.”
There have been a flood of Trump convicted cartoons published since yesterday. Normally, I republish cartoons based on some theme or subject (& I'll work thru all of them this way over time) but these 8 struck me as being the "best" of today's large crop, so enjoy.
What they ought to do is sentence Donald Trump not to a prison cell or even home incarceration at Trump Tower,but to the slummiest,shittiest,most rat and bug infested property Trump Org owns and have him live there the next 4 years.The prison sentence would be held over his head if he ever tried to improve the property or left it.
Just a thought #TrumpGuilty #TrumpTrial
How silly do you look now, @MittRomney, saying that President @JoeBiden should have pardoned that Orange Felon? How foolish can you possibly be to justify a comment like that?
Orange Felon says legal system’s “rigged” when 12 people do what that system instructs based on LAW, EVIDENCE and FACTS but when that Orange Fucker uses that same legal system to tie up his illegalities in APPEALS, he doesn’t say it’s rigged. You keep buying his conman bullshit. Why???
We've gotten feedback that many of you don't like political polling stories. So here's a headline you may like: "Will Trump’s guilty verdict hurt him? Read this story (not the polls)."
"The conviction comes at a critical moment in the campaign...
Trump’s entire persona is built around the facade that he is a powerful strongman, impervious to attacks and solely capable of defending his followers. Now he stands for election as a convict, a weak man too cowardly to take the stand who was bested by a local district attorney." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/05/30/trump-trial-convicted-impact/
