Re: Biden pulls a Trump
You're raising a bunch of red herrings. All the WSJ is saying is that if there is a legitimate reason for Biden to withhold the recordings, executive privilege isn't one of them.

Re: Biden pulls a Trump
From a purely legal standpoint, the WSJ is correct. Waived privileges can't be reclaimed. That is well-established, and I can think of no reason that the principles at play would be any different when dealing specifically with executive privilege (other than maybe Biden could assert that he is so ol...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump
Matt - sounds to me like your tune has changed a bit. Just a few months ago you said that Trump had literally no chance of winning. I'm curious what has changed your opinion? RT - Here's the problem with your argument - the polling in 2020 ended up being correct. The polling average never put Trump ...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump
You must have missed where I said her testimony is mostly irrelevant to this case and that she was put on the stand for no reason other than to drag Trump through the mud. Also, Prosecutors told Merchan they have no other witnesses to call after Cohen is off the stand, and the defense said it plans ...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump
Gotta tell ya BMW, your read on this trial is from a Trump loving perspective. For every story that makes it look good for Trump, there are stories that suggest he is in trouble. No. My read on this trial is from the perspective of the principle that the state has a heavy burden in proving its case...

Not an unbiased source, but interesting commentary: https://twitter.com/BarbMcQuade/status/1791140571710418963?t=CEIq0uSew5k0Uw2qGvDLgw&s=19 I'd trust McQuade over the view or Ms. Cooper. ...Prosecution spent the entire case preparing for this moment by pre-corroborating his testimony with document...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump
I've been super busy today so haven't been following the news, but the 2 minutes I heard on the radio coming home sounded to me like the prosecution's case is blowing up in its face. Anderson Cooper said Cohen appears to be "making it up as he goes along" and one of the ladies on the View today said...

Re: 2024 Presidential Primary Polling Thread
I mist-stated that. What I meant to say was that I don't think he'll win by that large of a margin, but that he'll still win. Speaking of the blue wall in the midwest, I see Biden just instituted a 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles. This is one of Trump's big issues at his rallies, and I susp...

Re: 2024 Presidential Primary Polling Thread
Trump +13 in Nevada. Election almost certainly won't be that close in that state, but I do think Nevada is the most likely pickup for Trump with Georgia being a very close second. That would put him at 254 compared to 2020, then it comes down to 4 states - MI, WI, PA, and AZ. He would need MI alone,...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

Oh, that's right. Iran's only a state sponsor of terrorism. I'm sure that they're spending every penny ethically.
