He’s still going to win rural Georgia because DeSantis has all the personality of a watery turd, and still lose in the cities. His racist dog whistling will continue to call the human dregs with the same efficacy as when he started, but he’s not going to magically win over support from people that weren’t impressed with it before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarus27k Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I am confident Georgia will remain at least a 51-49 Democratic state for awhile. The Democratic base there is pretty stable and has been building for over a decade. It's like Virginia, which used to be a red state, but is now a blue state even in years that are bad for Democrats.

I’m with Disco on this. The raw poll numbers don’t properly convey the local dynamics, which tend to be far less flexible than demographic trends. There’s a reason why things like racism and bigotry can infiltrate younger and educated city dwellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimOdin Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 As a lifelong Georgian, I just don’t know. It’s going to be tight for the next decade, hopefully demographics continuing to go left, but outside of Atlanta (which is where the majority of the population live, sure) it’s still a reeeeeeeeeed state. Hell, I live in the metro, and a block away from my subdivision is a field where some dumbfuck flies a huge “China Joe for Prison” flag. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man who was elected even after we all heard him brag about sexually assaulting women will absolutely be elected from prison in 2024. The more his criminality is uncovered the more the people love him and the more the GOP run with the false narrative that this is some sort of witch hunt orchestrated by Biden and the democrats.

The racketeering statute in Georgia requires prosecutors to show the existence of an “enterprise” – and a pattern of racketeering activity that is predicated on at least two “qualifying” crimes." Ive maintained throughout this entire saga that the Georgia case was the more dangerous one for Trump, and I sure was right. This looks like the kind of case that puts people behind bars for quite some time. Racketeering charges are major charges, and you don't bring this kind of case unless you have the evidence to back it up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belize Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Cannon's ruling is absurd and unjust on its face. A politician in a robe trying to let off the hook the politician who appointed her.

I fully expect the DoJ to appeal the case. It would go to the 11th circuit court, and likely further than that. I can see this one making its way to SCOTUS. The heart of what Cannon said was that because Jack Smith was never confirmed by the Senate, he has no authority to prosecute anyone. That cuts to the heart of a DOT Regulation that came about during the Obama years that allows the DOJ to appoint who it wants as a special council. The DOJ absolutely will want to appeal that decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belize Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Cannon has taken a position contrary to what every court except Clarence Thomas has ruled, in the action of dismissing a case against the man who appointed her to her seat.

You know it, but like was already said this was predicted. Smith has been itching to get this case out of her court with the general understanding that the SCOTUS wasn’t about to mess with a Special Counsel system the GOP has relied on heavily as a check on Democratic power. Cannon has been bristling at Jack Smith as of late, so it’s pretty clear that she’s close to losing control of her own courtroom. The events this weekend are the perfect opportunity to escape the scrutiny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katt_goddess Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 7 hours ago, Jman said: Is there any way to appeal? Because if there is, they're keeping it far away from Cannon. Yes, it can be appealed and will be. This isn't a matter of a few documents getting misfiled in a move. This was a case of entire U-Hauls of boxes being removed from DC to Mar-a-Lago and when asked for items back by the feds, they were refused and boxes moved around with the intention of hiding as much as possible. As there are still things missing, the espionage and treason angles aren't gone either just because some ass-kisser in a robe decided her favorite boss should be immune. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there are still things missing, the espionage and treason angles aren't gone either just because some ass-kisser in a robe decided her favorite boss should be immune. I'd like to expand on the events. The The National Archives asked Trump for the documents. Trump handed over only some of the boxes. They requested a warrant. The FBI cooperated with Trumps team to carry out the warrant while the Trump wasn't there. The FBI searched his property in plain clothes to keep things on the DL. Trump moved and hid many of the boxes before the search. Trump has claimed he was able to declassify documents with his mind. Trump has claimed that they belong to him. Trump has claimed that the FBI were ready to used deadly force while "Raiding" Mar-a-Lago. We then had the whole thing with Judge Cannon and Judge Thomas. Trump was handled with kid gloves and has been given special treatment. Any other person would have been convicted by now. Despite this, Trump is still being a whiny shithead and calling foul. I hate everything about this. Edited July 16 by Sieg67 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
