@georgetakei Can you imagine someone waking up after a 10-year coma, to find that Obama was replaced by Trump who, despite losing the popular vote twice, has hijacked a major political party and dominated the political scene for 9 years?

Maybe Biden should just start referring to #Trump as a rapist, not just privately, but in every political speech and ad.
It's less profane, truthful, and would certainly serve as a memory jolt to those who need it.
And the only defense the GOP could mount, other than disputing the verdict of a unanimous jury which actually saw the evidence, would be the lame "It was sexual assault, not rape."

@GottaLaff Now we need the immunity ruling! Time to get his prosecutions back on track so the voters know 100% conclusively before the election whether Trump is a crook.

Great news, but I only hope Biden gets the chance for a bunch more appointments in the next year, especially including SCOTUS and the crazy Fifth Circuit (has 6 Trump judges compared to 2 Biden).
Biden is averaging about 57 appointments per year, pretty close to Trump's average 59 appointments per year.
But Trump had 3 SCOTUS appointments, and if Biden ends up with none, he will join Jimmy Carter as the only president since the 19th century with no SCOTUS appointments.

@GottaLaff I'm not sure what is happening, but it's one or more of the following:
1. Trump believes he's untouchable, so will simply say whatever he wants.
2. Trump is getting it out of his system now as he expects the gag orders to be reinstated.
3. Trump is just just getting warmed up, and will continue posting this BS with gag orders in place hoping that an arrest makes him a martyr.
4. Trump is a deranged nut with
no filter. -

If Eastman were a criminal defendant, statements of this nature would be a sign he's angling for an insanity defense.
As is, this statement calls into question his grasp on reality, and therefore his mental competence to practice law, which under California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.1(b) includes "mental, emotional, and physical ability."

@GottaLaff Thanks. I don't know this area of the law, so can't contribute as much as many others, but since I am a lawyer, I do (at times) at least know how to read a case.

@GottaLaff Lawyers like using convoluted sentence structure, double-negatives, a sprinkling of Latin, and then the "heretofores", etc.
They think that making the law a black box which only lawyers can understand somehow elevates us. But as both Willis and Jack Smith are proving, lawyers can write powerful, well-sourced briefs which are also in plain English. No need to impress with fancy words.

@GottaLaff Meadows' motion cites Nadler vs Mann for the claim that the entire case should be removed if any part of it is based upon federal employment - sounds pretty slam dunk against GA...
... Until you read the case, which (1) is civil under the FTCA where the Feds already certified the employee was within the scope of duties, and (2) the court held that the district court had discretion whether to remand the non-duty related claim back to the state - Meadows' brief is misleading.
