Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Here's some interesting early 1980s commentary I've never read before from the far-left poet Amiri Baraka (1934-2014) about the importance of political incrementalism. Although Baraka was staunchly anti-capitalist, he warned against commentary he'd heard from others on the left about the last presi...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
This shows the challenge that Biden faces. It's not that Democrats are unpopular It's he who is unpopular.

Words of wisdom that I fear many in the coming election will ignore.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Excellent thread from the one and only Roger Parloff explaining why the moment on Thursday when Cohen was shown to have misremembered one phone call probably isn't as much of a big deal as many in the media have made it out to be. https://twitter.com/rparloff/status/1792174175773212909 https://twitt...

Re: Trump Indicted for Conspiring to Overturn the 2020 Election
And perhaps the most bizarre thing about the Alito story is the fact that we are just learning about now, almost 3 and half years after it happened. How is that even possible?

Re: 2020 Election: Predictions, Results and Reactions
Where in the world is Rudy Giuliani? " Arizona grand jury has indicted Trump allies for 2020 election interference " ( Politico ). Donald Trump is "Unindicted Co-Conspirator 1." (Ken Chesebro is "Unindicted Co-Conspirator 4.") Only some of the eighteen people who have ...

The flip side of the Alito news is that perhaps it will help spark CJ Roberts to a more favorable decision.

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
An intruder broke into the home of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and attacked her 82 year old husband Paul Pelosi with a hammer, injuring him significantly. While no motive has been established, it is reported that the intruder was yelling "where is Nancy" before attacking her husband...

Re: Trump Indicted for Conspiring to Overturn the 2020 Election
I thought that would happen. I've had to do that change on posts that I copied on my phone. Perhaps when and if we upgrade the phpBB version that will change, but I wouldn't count on it.

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
And yet the polls will still say that Biden can't be trusted to run the economy as much as businessman Trump.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Two interesting notes from the transcript of the sidebar that began Tuesday's session, which I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else. First, the witness that the prosecution had originally planned to call after Cohen was not, as I and others have speculated, their election law expert, but instead ano...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
as far as I have heard, we haven't seen a copy of the agreement signed by Donald Trump himself That is correct. Here is the copy of the agreement that was entered into evidence, with a signature line for "DD" (aka Trump) but no signature. https://pdfs.nycourts.gov/PeopleVs.DTrump-71543/Ev...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Ah, thanks for that correction. I thought the defense argument was, in part, that Michael Cohen did this on his own (and as far as I have heard, we haven't seen a copy of the agreement signed by Donald Trump himself) out of the goodness of his heart rather than at the direction of Trump and then Tr...
