Which trial are you talking about? I though there were four of them ... and counting.Since there are 19 people indicted that would be the Georgia one.

What's interesting is who is not in these 18 co-conspirators as it means these guys have been singing nice bird songs at the FBI and have plea deals.
Also since this will be on TV, Trump will want to put on a show and may open his mouth (as he wont be able to resist the temptation): this is not looking good for him, and this will provide a lot of entertainment when he'll inevitably insult the procuror, the judge, and everyone around, also maybe throwing his associates under the bus.
to record this
The singular problem will be whether the courts will be able to keep MAGA partisans off the juries.
It is painfully obvious that Drumpf is 100% guilty of everything that he is charged with, plus a whole lot more, and that he is a pathological liar who almost surely has a mental problem that prevents him from even comprehending what "truth" actually is.
But that doesn't really matter.
If one of his glassy-eyed minions makes his way onto the jury, he will certainly vote to find Drumpf innocent regardless of incidental trivialities such as laws or evidence.
An interesting twist in the Georgia case is that racketeering carries mandatory jail time and I wonder how many of those defendants are really willing to go to prison for Dear Leader ....
It will be on Youtube within minutes.
If one of his glassy-eyed minions makes his way onto the jury, he will certainly vote to find Drumpf innocent regardless of incidental trivialities such as laws or evidence.On big trials like this especially, there are always spare jurors and the lead juror would report it and have them kicked off if they start acting unreasonably.
it would probably be declared a mistrial.
Honestly, if I were the prosecutor, especially with the cameras there, I would make it a very strong point that we absolutely under no circumstances want him to take the stand. Him being him, he'd demand it. Then just keep him on topic and let him speak, given enough time he'd admit to almost everything. It would be some of the greatest court TV ever.
That would be delicious, but it would jack the MAGAs up to the sky.
I fear that there are thousands of terror killings being brewed up all over the country.
This is a big fear. Mountains of time and money wasted, and he would instantly start crowing about being "Completely Exonerated"In criminal court, if you are found not guilty they can't retry you (unless there's really weird circumstances), a misstrial just means a do-over.

Based on what he said yesterday though if this starts going bad don't be surprised if you wake up and he's in Russia (a smarter choice would be Saudi Arabia).
That would be the dream, not only for regular people, but for the Republican Party, too. Many mega-donors have ditched him already.
Shedding Drumpf would leave them in disarray for a while, but it might allow the party to see a viable path into the future.
I don't want to give the republicans a viable path into the future.
I hear you on that, believe me. But the most dangerous situation in society and politics is the "power vacuum" ....
Just look at the former Soviet Union, Afghanistan, Iraq, Venezuela, Niger, my fingers would wear out before I got halfway down the list.
It just demonstrates the truly transcendent stupidity of the ignorant rednecks in America today who talk about "tear it all down" or "civil war" (aka race war) as if they imagine that some utopia (as seen in their personal fantasy) would magically and immediately rise up out of the ashes.
The US needs at least 2 political parties, and we seem to be locked down to no more than 2 for the foreseeable future. And remember, the Republican Party was not always the evil behemoth that it became after 1977. Eisenhower presided over Brown vs Board of Education, Nixon shepherded the Environmental Protection Agency into existence.
try to do a better job
Joe Biden has done an exemplary job and accomplished much in the face of colossal resistance (including from within his own party).
I cannot understand why "progressives" are not ecstatically grateful for the job he has done.
You have to be grateful for "something" even when you can't get "everything" ....
we can definitely push them
For whatever its failings, the Democratic Party in the US today is an actual political party with an expressed agenda and clearly stated goals.
His mugshot looks ai generated
When does it start? I may watch too :)
His mugshot looks ai generatedyeah his right eye looks so strange thought the mugshot was edited or something when I first saw it.
If I were him, I too would be shedding assets as fast as I could to try to avoid having them confiscated.Will that protect him (or DTJR) from RICO charges though ? And is that really a good idea once he's been indicted ? Seems a bit too easy a solution to escape justice...
He posted on Twitter (aka X) for the 1st time in 2 years to upload his mug shot.
At the earliest, october 23rd. But these things are speculation at the moment, including the televised part. They are fighting all of the proposals and doing delay on all dates. [/size][/color]
If the man is innocent, let it run it's course. He claims he has the proof, let him present it in court.
These are not the actions of people who truly think the man is innocent.
So Georgia is trying or did just pass a law allowing the (state) senate to dismiss any district attorney they don't like... And goes into effect, October.
Care to guess who that was aimed at? So just before the trial starts they may fire the D.A. and the next could just dismiss the case.
However, doing this is the past has often invoked the ire of the presiding judge, especially when there's a ton of evidence of a crime and may force the D.A. to continue regardless.

I was very surprised by the mugshot tbh. I'd have figured he's just act really happy in it, as if it were a holiday picture. A lot of his companions did. No doubt as a defence mechanism.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/JNFFZpY.jpg)
He looks so goofy and sad it's incredible.
He just looks really angry.
I understand the reason why they are passing the law, so they can get rid of people who are "progressive" or don't align with their values, but why save trump.He makes it okay to be a**holes to anyone they dislike and that their opinion is the only one that matters.

a lot of the GOP are screwed.
Unfortunately, there are a significant number of GOP mega-donors who can fund anything and everything they want.
My guess is that they are not spending now, so far in advance of the primaries, because it is all flushing down the toilet of legal fees at the top for the foreseeable future.
They will support down-ballot candidates later, and let Drumpf stew in his own juices.
not enough compared to democrats.
he is so finished

Someone got his lawyer license on Ace Attorney and thinks he's Phoenix Wright ;)
In a world that was not Bizarro World that would be true, but MAGA has its tentacles reaching through every level of US governments - local, state, and national.
I am taking some comfort in the fact that although Georgia might have been a safe haven for him, he picked nasty feud with Governor Brian Kemp (himself about as "hard right" as you will find) and is not likely to get any help from the person in Georgia who might have helped him the most.
complete disarray rn, they have far bigger problems
It looks like they might select the abominable Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House, he is every bit as bad as Gym Bag Jordan, if not worse, but without the notoriety.
edit - confirmed
he will be as dreadful a choice as they could have made
