Might be a delay in the Georgia prosecution of Trump

Hey look, it's Peter Strzok and Lisa Page all over again. Those were the lovers with a plan to stop Trump in '16 (lying to a fisa court to spy on him before the election was part of it). Now Fani Willis put her boyfriend in charge of Trump's prosecution and they'll likely have to recuse themselves if not face charges themselves.

I'm also wondering how Biden got Iran to lob missiles around, and at least one neighbouring country - Pakistan - to return the favour

In a new court filing today, the DOJ confirms Hunter Biden’s laptop is real, that he left it at a computer store, and that the contents matched what they obtained from a search warrant of his iCloud. Don’t hold your breath for a retraction from Joe Biden (“It’s a Russian plant”), the #Dirty51 or myriad dishonest media operatives. They blamed Russia when the Bidens knew it was Hunter - and so did the FBI. Hunter also blamed Russia when he was caught using adultery site Ashley Madison. - Miranda Devine NY Post

More distractions from Trumps ILLEGAL tries to stay in office... Storming the capital and disrupting the vote is NOT a part of the constitution.
But we ALL understand your MAGA leanings... just a tour of the capital... peaceful... RIGHT!

It was a full-court press to find a way to stay in office, legal, illegal, extralegal. Many of their actions were, of course, legal. But many others were workarounds and outright defiance of all known evidence, laws, and procedures. Bizarre legal "theories" were floated. Yes, dozens upon dozens of lawsuits, recounts, and various other prescribed election remediation procedures were employed. But at the same time, the Jan. 6 "will be wild" fiasco was being planned; slates of fake electors were beng organized; fraudulent documents signed and submitted; opponents were demonized and doxxed; right-wing groups known for street violence like Proud Boys were recruited by Team Trump to be there, with access to arms. I could go on and on.

The point is, the fact that some of Trump's attempts to overturn the the election were legal, does not mean any of of his illegal acts can or should be ignored.

Nikki and Boeing, sitting in a tree, dropping planes from above k-i-l-l-i-n-g you and me

hows that for kindergarten

Boeing shareholders are investigating the bribes the company pays to regulators and politicians because they're liable for damages. If the company leadership (Nikki was on the board) is buying lax oversight and people are dying as a result the $$$ awards to victims get even larger. Boeing was hit with a hefty bill for the two 737s that killed a few hundred people a few years back. For how much they paid out recently and what they spend on bribes they could make their planes safer and save lives. Nikki helped block increased oversight of the company's political "donations" as a board member.

No... sending a mob to the capital to STOP THE STEAL and overthrow the LEGAL election results. I guess you missed the violent mob part.
But you sound like a normal MAGA supporter... They were just there for a peaceful tour... Or, it was a false flag operation and the Dems are to blame.
You must have seen a video on the internet.

No, challenging the results in Congress, states and courts is in the Constitution... Kinda shoots down all that insurrection nonsense when Trump sought delaying certification and further investigation of the election results. Why would the VP matter if it was an insurrection?

[Ming]

So in Berz's world... storming the Capital and calling to hang the VP is outlined in the constitution

[Berzerker]

Were over 500 Black Lies Murder riots before the election an attack on the Constitution? At least Trump used the process outlined in the Constitution for challenging the results.

[Ming]

We know the Maga attack on our Constitution happened. Your theory about the deadly virus is just that... and unproven theory.

[Berzerker]

Doesn't bode well for the country, a casual outside observer might conclude propaganda is a problem... Ofc I'm more worried about how my government can get away with creating a deadly virus than 1 MAGA riot.
