The hush money one is the first one to actually go to trial, so it’s mostly that. The documents case is basically suppressed until they can somehow get rid of this judge, and the other 2 cases are also being held up in places.
The hush money case isn’t likely to put him in prison though, I don’t think there’s any precedent of a politician going to prison for that. And of course there’s going to be appeals that can easily push it until past November.
By ‘this one’, I meant the hush money case. I agree that the documents case is the most serious one (and also deliciously ironic given his 2016 criticism of Hillary’s classified emails).
I mean, does it really matter unless they live in like one of 6 swing states? If you live in a blue or red state (which is most Americans) you should really vote third party, and they shouldn’t be scolded for that.
Voting Greens in New York state (for example) is a valid option, and if they meet a certain threshold (5%?) they can get campaign financing to do the things you talk about.

Nobody’s fucking saying that, Jesus Christ. We know they’re equally as bad or worse, but can we please just call out democrats on their bullshit without someone going ‘durr Trump worse’?
Yep, ignoring the ‘shock therapy’ from the 90s entirely that allowed a bunch of criminals to gain control of former state assets is anything but socialism.
There are some differences: For instance, the justice told Fox News that his wife hoisted the flag in response to Ms. Baden’s vulgar insult.

It’s well known at this stage that they use the same model every other silicon valley company uses: don’t hire any humans for support and slash staffing levels to the bare minimum.
That might work for a digital product, but do you want this for an actual physical car that you rely on to get to work / do groceries etc? Can you afford to wait for months for some part that only Tesla can provide you?
The cars themselves may have some innovative tech and stuff, but another car company isn’t usually going to leave you high and dry like that if something breaks. And even if they did, a third party could still scrounge up a part somewhere and fix it for you.

They’ve been ignoring it successfully so far. International law means jack shit, it’s just a fig leaf the West uses to punish enemies and make it seem like it’s not purely about power for domestic consumption.
What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.
Zionists have made it a priority to make sure they have their people / sympathisers in high places in politics and media. Anyone who even hints at considering calling Palestinians people gets pushed out.
Israel is a laboratory for ‘policing’, anti-terrorism and surveillance tactics. This technology and know-how is indispensable for both the ‘democracies’ in the West and dictatorships, including Arab dictatorships that pay lip service to the Palestinian cause, but don’t actually do anything. If crowd control tactics work on Palestinians, they work on leftie protestors and civil rights movements in the West and popular democratic movements in authoritarian regimes.
people don’t want to be called anti-semites (especially in Europe, where every country has a horrific history with that), which is why they’ve been trying very hard to conflate Zionism with Jewishness.
there’s also a global right-wing nationalism on the rise, where people like Modi, Orban, Trump, Netanyahu, … sort of espouse the same rhetoric that used to be limited to white supremacy, but it’s just applied to their ethnicity/race/religious group. The neo-nazis are still anti-semites, but they see Israel as the place they can ship all the Jews to when the time comes. Israel’s actions making Jews outside of Israel a target for retaliation plays into that as well.
It’s the biggest issue I have with the media, they don’t call out liars. As long as it’s someone ‘official’, they can get away with any lie. Whether that’s the NYPD, LAPD US military, Pentagon spokesman, white house spokesperson, IDF, etc.
