Just the thought of him possibly becoming President again nearly made me throw up today.
And I'm also not in the US.

I agree. I actually predicted his nomination and election in 2016 when the MSM talking heads were scorning him. They’re taking him more seriously now, but I will still predict his nomination and election. And if by chance he doesn’t win, it will be another “stolen election” and an even bigger insurrection IMO.
We’re too old to move, but I will certainly take precautions no matter what happens. We live in a small much-hated artsy blue town in a rural gun-loving red county, so I have no delusions about safety.

It's shocking to me that so many Americans would vote for that classless conman.
I would say more, but this isn't the place.
I hope the world turns back from the vicious right-wing rhetoric. I hope we can focus back on empathy and caring for all humanity.

I think this is a clear & accurate response from DA Willis. Imo.

I wondered if Wade’s estranged wife factored into this accusation.
considering that plaintiff NW failed to turn over all financial records--and was held in contempt by the Judge-- I will be surprised if Willis' motion is successful.Willis contends that Wade’s estranged wife “has conspired with interested parties" in the Trump case "to use the civil discovery process to annoy, embarrass and oppress" the DA.

I can absolutely see why he's leading in the polls though. Biden's presidency has been an absolute disaster. And I can't get my head around how he seems to be the only person the Democrats can put forward who has a chance to beat him in November. Have they not got someone under the age of 80 they could nominate?!
As for this trial (and all the others), in a nutshell all of this litigating seems to be less concerned about someone breaking the law, rather than trying to prevent a politician who many people don't like from running for office again.
If you're not a very political person, then one vital characteristic to know about american politics is that the judicial system is VERY political!
