Eleanor Roosevelt was the de facto POTUS, for a time, but even if that had been widely known, there's no way a woman could have actually won the office officially back then. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

I think I didn't make my point clear. Hillary was her freshest unmarred self in the first campaign, but for charismatic Obama showing up. That she blew it or made other mistakes was just the bad icing on the cake. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I understand what you're saying now. It's like, 2008, but for Obama. 2016, but for a myriad of things...which includes having lost to Obama in 2008. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

| SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4185 | I think the Georgia ‘racketeering’ indictments hinge on the recorded phone call with Trump saying ‘I need you to find 11,000 more votes’. The problem to me is that he very well might have thought those votes existed and were legally cast. And somehow just not counted. If he said I need you to MAKE UP 11,000 votes that is a DIFFERENT bird. 91 indictments so far. I still am not sure he gets convicted on a single one. If I remember correctly, if he passes on before a jury votes, he will never be a convicted felon. I know this is DT and not WoV, but I’d (at even money) still bet Trump never sees the inside of a jail cell. |

You can keep your even money. I think it was this thread, but I would say the, 'Find me votes,' isn't exactly the least of it, but it's no more than the half of it. He as much as threatened criminal action against a state official. You should read the snippets I quoted. Here's the thing lots of Trumpers don't seem to get...and this is just legally speaking, ignore that it's Trump---a person can say, "I wasn't actually being serious," okay, sometimes it doesn't matter if you were, 'actually being serious,' you still can't say things if they involve a crime or are an attempt to commit a crime.

I would not be that confident. Prior to booking and mugshots people are often put in a holding cell. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

| Gandler Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 27 Posts: 4256 | Apparently, Trump is trying to get the GA case over to Federal Court (instead of GA), I guess he thinks he will do better with a Federal judge. |

I think he has been allowed to stroll in with his attorneys. This is a lose lose for the country. Acquitted it ‘seems’ like the rich and powerful can get away with anything. Convicted and it ‘seems’ like a nefarious political ploy. I’ve said since the standard is reasonable doubt, convictions will be hard to come by. As always, being found not guilty in NO WAY means you did not commit the crime. What a miserable post presidency life he is having…. |
