Being a Republican ham sandwich himself, it's understandable DeSantis would be worried about DC juries' propensity to indict and convict them.

Fundamentalists Christian talking cows are practicing how to say "Guilty!" in unison.

"...and after-hours titty bar." That's only if you're a full partner; this ain't some redneck firm.

I have to skip the other malarkey and laugh at "I have called for a Federal TAKEOVER in order to bring out Capital back to Greatness." Is he the only person in the country who doesn't know that the federal government has controlled DC since its creation?

He can't be tried by a jury of his peers. They're all in jail.

I remember the Watergate summer. This feels like that.

I would completely disagree. We did not have possibly 30-40% of the country ready to invade the rest of us on a dialy basis. Nixon did not tuen a large number of citizens into proto-insurrcations like Trump has.

Awww, be fair. Trump is so unbiased himself he knows all about unbiased. He took out a completely unbiased full-page ad in favour of the Central Park Five being executed, and when they turned out to be innocent, as shown by DNA evidence and someone else even confessing, he was so unbiased he wouldn't even admit he'd been grossly wrong. Because the Five had probably done SOMETHING.

By all means, Mr. Real President, tell us more about unbiased.

They need to put Eric the Dumb on suicide watch!

Or buy him an ice cream cone.

Maybe a fidget spinner. Something bright and shiny that will keep him busy.

I'm not sure it'll work on him. He has the attention span of a goldfish.

People known for being professionally full of shit like Greta Van Susteren are crowing about an article that says the judge, Tanya Chutkan, previously worked at the (very large) law firm of Boies Schiller Flexner, where Hunter Biden spent one year as “of counsel.” This works on rubes whose mental image of “law firm” is a mom-and-pop operation that also serves as an ice cream parlor, taxidermy specialist and after-hours titty bar.

The same people are perfectly fine with his other trial being in front of a Judge he personally appointed. No possible conflict there at all.

As for the trial being in DC, well, Diaper Don, that is literally in the Constitution,

Article 3 Section 2 Clause 3

The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.

Who here wants to bet they try to say that since DC isn't 'within any state" that means Kevin McCarthy gets to announce where EmptyGee has decided to direct...

Please allow us to handpick our jury.

The problem is, the J-Sixers should have just shot everyone. That way, they can claim their action was a protected First Amendment exercise of their Second Amendment rights. And when the convictions get appealed to the USSC (presuming it gets that far), the Fascist-Five-and-a-Robert's-Half majority can overturn the verdicts via the shadow docket without a hearing.

So, by "diverse", they mean, "not diverse" -- kinda like how they use "freedom" to mean, "taking away other people's freedom".

Mercy Dee's in Durham was a soul food kitchen, martial arts dojo, and house of beauty. I suppose the idea was if you couldn't beat your opponent in a fair fight, you could give them a heart attack with your beauty and/or your cooking.

I dunno what TFG is talking about?

I just saw pics of a lot of people welcoming him home! As he did live there for 4 years, kinda home.

A big flag saying 'Trump in 2024.' Small one saying 'Trump was Right.'

Some MAGA signs.

Of course most said things about Justice, Jail, Celebrate Trump Indicted, more jail.

One had his hair blown back showing a Nazi swastika tattoo on his scalp. Creative and took some time to make. Looks like he will get good use out of it.
