Dems keep the Senate in Virginia.

The reason for a long process to find a jury is if they believe the trial will go on for months, trying to find people who can take that much time off of work or are available for that length of time really narrows the pool of jurors down.
None of this will be fast and easy. They've all shown they will file appeal after appeal.
One example of what could be in store for future is even if Trump is found guilty, he can appeal that and still be free. Steve Bannon was convicted how long ago and allowed to remain free. He's been doing his radio/tv show for how long while awaiting? A year?
I know it all comes across as doom and gloom, cause who is Trump going to pick up in new supporters?
I think the doom and gloom is the fact that the Democratic party could easily stay home because of whatever bullshit excuse they find. 80 years old. US backed Genocide of Gaza. Inflation.
We are a nation of idiots, and that should give any of us pause in thinking Trump is toast no matter what his fate is legally.
Even if we took away the shit show that is Trump and his legal processes, can we really state that the nation and world is in a good place? That doesn't usually bode well for an incumbent
Hope to fuck to be wrong and in 52 weeks it's not even a close contest.
They've lost in every single election since 2016, and in bigger numbers every year since Roe - but hey, i'm sure that'll change when the soon to be felon who picked the judges who overturned Roe is on the ballot.
I still have a theory that Trump will kill himself before actually stepping inside a prison cell. .
They just full out admit that they hate democracy at this point.
i believe the censuring was proper.
An unmanned US military drone was shot down off the coast of Yemen by Houthi forces, a defense official told CNN.
The official said the MQ-9 Reaper drone was operating in international airspace and over international waters when it was shot down. US Central Command is investigating the incident, the official said.
The shootdown, which the Iran-backed Houthi militants took responsibility for earlier on Wednesday, comes several weeks after a US Navy warship, the USS Carney, intercepted multiple missiles and drones fired by the Houthis as they were heading north along the Red Sea. The ship shot down four cruise missiles and 15 drones over a period of nine hours, CNN previously reported, and their trajectory left little doubt that the projectiles were headed for Israel.
Iranian proxy groups have stepped up their attacks on US forces and assets in the Middle East in recent weeks following Hamas’ attack on Israel. US and coalition bases in Iraq and Syria have been attacked at least 40 times since October 17
oh look it's the frothy mixture of shit and lube that results from anal sex
What are people's thoughts on censure of Rep Tlaib?
I'm kinda torn on it, as it definitely is a free speech type issue but as an elected official she really seemed to go off a bit into misinformation and straight up calls for violence.
On October 7th, she categorized Hamas attacks as a "resistance"
She has consistently accused Biden of participating in Genocide of Palestinian people
She posted/tweet that Israel & therefore Biden were responsible for bombing a Gaza Hospital killing 500 people. When the facts came out and none of that was true, she refused to correct or remove her statements.
She released a video stating again that Biden is committing genocide and the people of her district won't forget come November 2024.
She released a statement claiming that "From the river to the sea" is a call for freedom, inspiration, liberation. Not a call to wipe out all Jews.
The latter is where I really felt like she lost the plot. The swastikas originally was a eastern symbol of peace (and in some cases fire) , yet if I were to tattoo it on my body or waive a flag with it, pretty sure no one would take that meaning of the symbol.
She has been approached by other members of congress asking her to reconsider or take back her statements especially where they were untrue and she refused.
While the potential is now there to censure every member of congress for this statement or that, I do think there are lines that get crossed.
If I had a vote in congress, I think I would have voted yes.
Unnecessary, Dave.
C'mon now.
If I were the GOP, I would be in a straight up panic right now. The Supreme Court pretty much did a lay up for the Democrats next year.
2. For all the doom and gloom theories out there, the key point they're missing is what is happening in elections since the dreaded night in November 2016. Republicans are continuing to lose over and over again. They have no platform. Trump has no platform other than whatever nonsense he's babbling. He lost big in 2020, he'll lose bigger in 2024 (if he is actually the nominee). People are not going to vote for a convicted felon. Biden doesn't need to spark excitement because there's enough excitement sparked to keep Trump out of the White House. Consider Biden the luckiest candidate ever.
A historic pandemic and partial shutdown of an otherwise healthy economy during his third run for president supports your luck theory. Being in the right place at the right time, w/ very limited time spent on the campaign trail.
All that jazz coming together for the guy after 45+ years in the swamp.
