Re: trump off the CO ballot

I predict many more commentaries very much like those of sparks and President Bush in the months to come. "Who cares what he did? He's a felon!" Well, it is true that he is a felon, and it is also true that that is not trivial. However, what Musk was getting at, and that I echoed, was that...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

In what did he plead? Five counts of tax evasion, not related to Trump. One count of illegal campaign contributions, which we all know about. One count of lying to a bank. I didn't read that section. I suspect it was about Trump, when he took out a home equity loand. He probably didn't say, "P...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

I've been reading and watching a lot of reactions. They make me nervous. Elon Mush's articulated in his reaction something I find a bit disturbing. I don't have a lot of respect for Elon, or think of him as some sort of intellectual giant or paragon of wisdom. Indeed, I think he's about half crazy. ...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

If he becomes President he just pardons himself and gets off scot free. If he becomes President, it means that the President is above the law - that the law does not apply. In other words, a king. The President can't pardon state crimes. Then one of his sycophant governors does it for him. Same dif...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

You are wrong. Cohen was never tried. He pled guilty. There was no trial. In what did he plead? Five counts of tax evasion, not related to Trump. One count of illegal campaign contributions, which we all know about. One count of lying to a bank. I didn't read that section. I suspect it was about Tr...
