If Trump is jailed and then killed, what then?

Isn't that the Dem plan?

The Supreme Court has allowed collateral-order appeals from criminal prosecutions in only four instances:

Denials of a double jeopardy defense,
Denials of a Speech & Debate Clause immunity,
Denials of claims of excessive bail, and
Orders requiring the involuntary medication of a defendant.

Do New York state courts recognize a collateral order doctrine?

I hope whatever his daughter is going to kick back to this judge is worth destroying his reputation and career.

Nothing more sickening than a dirty judge.

Somebody do a deep dive on this judge. He did Steve Bannons case too. Funny how he pulls ALL the big repub cases.

I am sure HE is not as pure as the driven snow. How much HUSH MONEY has he paid? Any police reports? Daughter taking $ from someone?

People do NOT want to hear this.

After the Cold War ended and Russia’s economy, military and image plunged, as crime, abortion, people emigrating from Russia surged, along came Putin.

Russia was post Cold War in a low, not unlike the low the US found itself in post Vietnam and under Carter with a depressed economy (the era of stagflation).

Also, not unlike the US where you had Reagan following Carter, with massive economic growth, national pride and ones image being restored, crime being dealt with, the military being rebuilt, and us no longer taking other peoples $hit (we were willing to push back militarily when people F’ed with us), with Reagan unappologetically conservative and Christian, so is Putin doing the same for Russia.

The view of Putin in Russia is not the same as in the West.

With mass censorship and one sided reporting in our MSM. Social media censoring, our government engaging in mass propaganda, we have created this image of Putin where he’s a monster, a mad man, and of course no one in his right mind would support him. He’s not a mad man, and unlike Biden actually able to communicate with coherent thoughts. He’s extreamly calculated, i.e. logical and predictable.

In Russia, Putin is actually quite popular.

That is not to say that Russia and our interests are not on a collision course. But, this notion of him being overthrown because Russians hate him, or him having some sort of mental illness is just Western MSM fantasy world BS.

I’m not sure I agree in the campaigning piece. It’s not like he needs to introduce himself to anyone. Surrogates can cover the swing states. Trump stays in the news by excursions around Manhattan during the trial,
And can do rallies on the weekends

The judge threatened him with jail time if continues to violate the gag order.

The judge must have forgot about the Secret Service taking control of the jail to protect the president.

If Trump goes to jail - dementia joe will pull the secret service, guaranteed. biden won't let RFK Jr have SS.

That thought went thought my mind. We’re up against Evil like the world has never seen before. These people would do what Hitler and Stalin and Mao did, and worse, if they could get away with it.

Excellent advice but unfortunately the evil SOB effin rats, including the judicial branch have 6 long months to destroy him! And destroy him they will at all cost. Even if it means the complete annihilation of this country by their own hands ….they do not care. It’s about bringing this man down. And the hell with the American people and l country.

What is the VAT Rate in Russia?

20%

A Standard VAT rate of 20% applies to most goods and services in Russia. A Reduced VAT Rate of 10% applies to food, children’s clothes, books, medical equipment and some services. There is also a Special VAT Rate of 16.67% applicable to e-services.

VAT taxes suck!!!!

Trump needs to be getting people excited to be voting for him and pissed at the other guy right now.

He can do that very well.

As a leader, there are times where your physical presence is needed at the front to lead the troops.

This is Trumps fight, and while those supporting him will surely do their best (Look, I like him too and I want him to win!), he needs to be there. Others can’t make his jokes about (small hands), call people names he makes up (Pocahontas, slow Joe, )... Trump is Trump and when he shows up somewhere, people show up and get revved up.

Where does he come up with this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nicknames_used_by_Donald_Trump
