    Remember, this is the man who complained about how small volume toilet flushes were now.

    Would appear to be his specialist subject.

    Nice one, He put trumps idiotic speech involving airports in historical events onto biden. Then says as a result Biden is thus unfit for office then gets corrected it was Trump and says thats okay then no big deal.

    The plaintiffs in the case would probably have preferred a judgement of 1 million over 148 million, at least then they might have had a chance of actually seeing some money.

    Apparently the "malice" factor in the legal situation is such that bankruptcy will not protect Giuliani against the verdict. The women won't get 148 million but they should still get whatever he has, although the IRS too may take a chunk.

    This is getting interesting. Two states have now barred Trump from running for President in their primary elections under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. States do have the power to run the elections held in that state but of course these rulings will be appealed to the Supreme Court.

    S3 14th Amendment reads:
    "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

    My first reaction was that Trump hadn't yet been found guilty of insurrection. You will note though there is no mention of a requirement to be found guilty of anything, only "shall have engaged". Trumps lawyers have been forced to be creative. They claim the position of President is not an office in the terms of Section 3. Even more creatively (desperately?) they claim Trump did not swear an oath to support the United States Constitution. He only swore an oath to "preserve protect and defend" the Constitution.

    Just today, a new development. Justice Neil Gorsuch, one of the nine Supreme Court Justices, when he was a Federal Appeals Court Judge ruled as per the attachment.

    If the Supreme Court are to rule in Trump's favour it would seem they will have to be even more creative than Trump's lawyers.

    Unorthodox defence from one of Trump's lawyers. She raises the possibility that he is guilty of insurrection.

    Lots of punters and such are not happy about trump being barred from ballots.

    They claim that "the US Voters should decide".

    To put it in terms even a MAGA should understand... a 'football analogy'

    Politics is a Game, The Constitution is the Rule Book.

    Players make a promise to obey , support, protect, etc. the Rules.

    trump seriously broke the Rules, the Rule Book says that he can't play again!

    It really doesn't matter what his fans, the spectators or the commentators think.

    Forty five years ago or thereabout an item was produced "God created a farmer." It has been parodied on a number of occasions but this latest takes the cake. Even some evangelical pastors think this goes too far as it refers to Trump with biblical verses describing Jesus. It should be hilarious but too many people will take it as gospel.

    I couldn't find a YouTube clip, and I've waited a couple of days, this is from Marjorie Taylor Greene's Facebook page. Of course.

    I was amused to see on another forum an American member's comment on Trump's claim of Presidential immunity.

    Trump and lawyers obviously haven't thought it through. If as they suggest, he could have opposition politicians assassinated, with immunity from prosecution, what's to stop Biden from ordering Trump and his team shot immediately.

    Make it pay for view and the American national debt would be slashed in half.

    As an aside I love telling magas over at fox news comments that vice president kamala Harris is not going to certify the 24 election and now biden is president for life - which would at best be another 6 months if they really thought about it....

    It's not that Trump impressed as being bright but yesterday was special. In the New York fraud trial the judge has already found him and other officers of the Trump Organisation guilty of fraud. What is being decided now is how much it will cost him. He asked to be able to address the court during the summation. This is unusual, parties to a case do not address the court, lawyers from each side sum up their case and that's it. The judge told him that if he was to address the court he must restrict himself to the facts of the case. He was not to make a campaign speech and he was given a deadline by which to indicate his decision. The deadline passed with no response.

    Yesterday though the judge gave Trump the opportunity to speak and he immediately launched into an attack on the case, on the Attorney General, and on the judge. The same judge who is currently deciding how much he should pay. The Attorney General is seeking $370 million US. The judge told Trump's lawyer to control his client then adjourned for lunch. Trump didn't return after lunch, he held a press conference.

    Whatever the judge decides Trump will appeal it of course, but his legal fees must be astronomical. He has not been using his own money yet, but he might soon be running low on other people's money.

    "Legal fees" is a nebulous concept. Trump has just lost the case he took against the New York Times for information they printed about his taxes. Costs and legal fees for both sides were awarded against him, the NYT side alone toalling over $392 thousand. That's just one case of many and one which he didn't need to take.
