Let's expect greatness. Trump, or someone from his awesome new cabinet, will find a way to "make America safe again." And obviously we're not very safe until all the unvetted asylum seekers are out of here.

other picks -- Getz and Musk. Musk in particular seems to me like someone
who might go "bull in a china shop" and screw something up in the process.

I'm more concerned about having Gabbard, a former Democrat, being the director of national intelligence. I don't see any intelligent reason for anyone to have been a Democrat in the first place, unless they did it for the money.

But Trump is the one who "took a bullet," so it makes sense to trust his decision with this nomination. Maybe our senate buddies (we can call them that now) will tell Tulsi to get lost.

That is what hearings and trials are for. Many crimes happen that are not

with a minor should not even be nominated for a position until they've been cleared of the charges.

this point.

This sounds like a play to get Gaetz out of trouble. His immediate
resignation from office stops any Congressional probe into his conduct,
because they can only investigate him while he is still holding
Congressional office. If he should be confirmed as AG, it means he can sweep it under the rug.

Having it swept under a rug <> being cleared. Sounds a lot like a favor from Trump. Gaetz has been a loyal MAGA and now he is getting paid for it.

I was reading an interesting theory by Eric S. Raymond on X relating to the election fraud.

The theory is that for something like election fraud, you can't have direct lines of communication with anyone - since those will be traced back to a person who can rat out the leaders.

So they do things like effective-brainwashing, then signalling (i.e. "Trump is a threat to Democracy!"), then some gentle nudging of suggestions of what do to.

The problem with such a setup is that you can't control it. Ex: You can't tell the operatives to "stand down". Hence why they are still trying to cheat in some states by generating fake ballots.

So you still have some people pushing the "plan" when they should have been told to "stand down, bide your time, be quiet", because they can't be told that. There are no lines of communication because each operative thinks they are acting on their own accord - and their brainwashing won't allow them to think otherwise.

That's why some of these people will be hung out to dry soon. But, sadly, the leaders will go undiscovered and unpunished.

Assuming it is lawfare. With Trump, some of the accusations were obviously exaggerated if not fabricated. In Gaetz's case, he apparently was pretty boastful to fellow Republicans about his exploits, and some of them were not
at all impressed.

With turnover in recent administrations being what it is, I am sure Trump
could have found Gaetz a place to reward him with after Gaetz had been

The case is legally and factually complex, making it harder for a jury to embrace a narrative that justifies a conviction.

The indictment charges Trump with falsifying business records with intent to defraud, which is a misdemeanor under New York law unless done to cover up another crime. As it stands, the felony requires Bragg to prove that Trump's intent to defraud included an intent to commit another crime or to aid in concealing that other crime. Bragg has alleged that there are multiple second crimes, including violations of federal election laws's which are not state crimes, mind you, and which the Justice Department declined to prosecute against Trump.

If you are refering to the NY case it has already concluded. Donald Trump was convicted.

I suppose the intent to defraud is a misdemeanor. Fraud itself is a felony.

There is a report. The investigation was concluded and Gaetz was told about it and chose to resign rather than face the consequences.

In spite of Gaetz's resignation the report can be released although MAGAs won't support that and congress can't slap him.

Jack Smith's report of Donald Trump's escapades will also be released. There'll be no convictions in any of that but at least the truth will be known.

Not to worry then. We'll get somebody. I'm disappointed with Gaetz fo resigning from congress anyway. That's not helpful for us.

But the timing of that allows a replacement to be selected before
Congress goes into session. So Matt is trying to be helpful there.

I just hope the GOP is prepared to win the special election.

Trump's nominations, if confirmed, are going to take a lot of excellent
people away from their jobs, like Doug Bergum and Kristi Noem for example.

As long as they have good replacements, it will be ok I guess. (But I don't want to see any red states being taken over by Democrats!)

The democrats (and others) used the word felon correctly.

Nope... Trump is NOT a felon... Did he vote for himself in 2024?? YUP... because he's not convicted yet...

He was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
Even if that case is under appeal, he is a felon until if/when it
is appealed.

Judge needs to rule on the case... BUT wait there's more... And the appeals court needs to hear the appeal... If there is a conviction where it'll be thrown out.

If it is thrown out on merit, then that is a good thing. If it is thrown
out because a Trump appointed AG gets rid of it, then we cannot ever say if
he was guilty or not.

Again you knowledge of the US is spectacular once again Alan.

In this case, he seems to be talking about the conviction from earlier this year and, for once, seems to have knowledge of what he is talking about.

This is the first time a MAGA Republican is accused of pedophilia, that
I know of. But look at it this way: there's no proof. Just testimony.
"Go in there and tell them that Matt Gaetz had sex with you 10 years
ago and that he smoked crack too."

Every time someone wants a politician removed, they make sex
allegations, but there's never any proof (except when it's a Democrat.)

It wasn't that there was no proof, but there was indeed not enough for the Biden DOJ to pursue it. They ended their investigation, without charging Gaetz, in 2023.

A former friend of Gaetz was charged and plead guilty to sex trafficing
of a minor, ID theft, stalking, wire fraud, and conspiracy to bribe a
public official. This associate testified that Gaetz was involved. The
woman involved in the DOJ investigation also testified, to the House Ethics Committee, that Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17 and still in high school.

The Ethics Committee has interviewed at least 6 other women who
claimed to have attended sex parties where they were paid for their
services and where Gaetz was present. There were Venmo payments to some of these women, allegedly from Gaetz. At least one of the women testified
that the payment(s) to her were indeed for sex with Gaetz. Others have testified that they were paid to attend the parties, where Gaetz was present, and that the parties included drugs and sex.

Gaetz has tried to pass these payments off as "generosity to ex-girlfriends."

A former Gaetz girlfriend also testified that Gaetz attended a sex-and-drugs party in 2017 where the underaged girl was present.

Google "Gaetz sex crimes" and you will find this info.

My guess would be that a Gaetz-lead DOJ will be a lot less likely to ever expose the Epstein list as he could very well be on it. Maybe on the Diddy list, too.

Assuming there is a report.

There is a report. The investigation was concluded and Gaetz was told about it and chose to resign rather than face the consequences.

In spite of Gaetz's resignation the report can be released although
MAGAs won't support that and congress can't slap him.

If they are going to release it, they'd do it before this session is over.

If it is thrown out on merit, then that is a good thing. If it is thrown out because a Trump appointed AG gets rid of it, then we cannot ever say if he was guilty or not.

Alan Dershowitz, and many other Constitutional Scholars say that there are sooooooooo many reversible errors that the case will get tossed eventually... On appeal. Moreover, there is a bunch of evidence that should not have been presented in the case be cause, as per the Supreme Court, Trump had immunity on some of the evidence.

Alan Dershowitz, et al., said NY law says that the Judge has to sentence within 1 year of Jury conviction... So he can't wait until 2029. And there is a way to tackle the case if the judge tries to postpone it until 2029.

At the moment I don't see how Matt could affect a State prosecution... Matt could look into the Judge's daughter fund-raising off her daddy being the judge on Trump's case and making 10's of millions of dollars for the DNC... Get your popcorn because it does smell like election interference.

In this case, he seems to be talking about the conviction from earlier this year and, for once, seems to have knowledge of what he is talking about.

He used the word felon wasn't talking about conviction.

The Collaborative International Dictionary of English has this to say..

felon

adjective

Characteristic of a felon: malignant; fierce; malicious; cruel; traitorous; disloyal.

noun

1) A person who has committed a felony.

2) A person guilty or capable of heinous crime.

Donnie checks all those boxes.

You may be called a felon after the judge sentences you. In the US
there is an appeals process as well.

Donald Trump will take every appeal he can get, that is his MO.

Nevertheless, Donald is a convicted felon.

I think you might be confusing the sentence with the conviction. Trump has been convicted of a felony. Whether he is sentenced to community service or jail doesn't alter the felony status of the conviction.

Yeah, I think that is probably part of the "right to a fair trial"
protection. It would prevent NY from holding someone indefinately without finally sentencing them.

In this case, he seems to be talking about the conviction from earlier this year and, for once, seems to have knowledge of what he is talking about.

He used the word felon wasn't talking about conviction.

I have seen Alan use both, and both are true. Trump was convicted of a
felony. He has yet to be sentenced but, until/unless the case is appealed and/or tossed, he is currently convicted of a felony and is therefore a felon.

Trump only has 4 years to start cleaning things out, or the Elitists will cheat again and we'll be right back to where we started. He needs to use those good people now.

I know that I have to put up with this mess in Michigan for another 2 years when we kick the Tyrant out of office along with her harpies. But I'm concerned about the election fraud like they have in California.

As long as they have good replacements, it will be ok I guess. (But I don't want to see any red states being taken over by Democrats!)

As long as they are OK replacements at least, I'll be happy. But, ya, there the risk of the Elitists using that to subvert things in other areas.

Florida State Law...
person has completed all terms of his or her sentence. Completion of the sentence means

The sentence you needed to read... If Trump had completed all the sentencing requirements ... Went to Jail... Paid his fines... Did his probation ... finished his parole... He then can apply to vote...

Whatever.

He would become a felon once the judge sentences him. That's the movement his felon label is triggered.

They are currently playing a political game.

I am not confused... I have been following this. Until the judge finishes the process by sentencing him he is NOT a felon. It is that part of the process that completes it.

The Judge could, and should in this case, toss the whole thing out... This is why the sentencing is important.

Legal analysts like Jonathan Turley, Alan Dershowitz and Andrew McCarthy all say the same thing. All 3 say the same thing. Until the conviction is formalized during the sentencing process he is not convicted.

So... All 3 have said that this case will be tossed eventually because of reversible errors... Moreover, and more importantly, after the Supreme court ruling they used evidence that they shouldn't have and it'll be tossed for that.

I'm not confused. If your pedigree is better then the above mentioned experts please let me know your credentials.

BTW, NY law says he has to be sentenced within a year... they can't wait 4... And Alan Dershowitz told the Trump team, on air, the paperwork to file to go around what the judge is doing.

Yeah, I think that is probably part of the "right to a fair trial" protection. It would prevent NY from holding someone indefinately

There is an appeals process but you are a convicted felon upon
conviction, not sentencing. Otherwise, someone who never exhausts their appeals would never be a felon.

Lets look at Jussie Smollett... He was convicted and sentenced for committing a hate crime hoax. Note convicted and sentenced... He was sentenced to go to jail for 150 days. It was at this time a judge could have tossed the case because of a legal reason and made the whole process moot... But the judge didn't.

He finalized the process and sentenced him. This made Jessie a felon. Jessie has been a felon since 2019.

Today someone overturned Jessie's conviction, tossed it, for a technical legal reason... Now Jessie is not a felon, he's just a Homosexual who ruined his life.

Because the judge refuses to rule on Trump's case Trump is just a Billionaire with great hair.
