BREAKING NEWS: FOX News reports that Donald Trump is holed up with his lawyers at his N.J. Bedminste

I saw this before the news broke that trump was indicted but was not sure if any truth to it. I am more inclined to believe it now.


BREAKING NEWS: FOX News reports that Donald Trump is holed up with his lawyers at his N.J. Bedminster resort because prosecutor Jack Smith has informed Trumps lawyers he intends to seize Mar a Largo indefinitely because it's a evidence rich crime scene. This is a developing story

On the Apple App Store, there's a game called "This is the President"

I attach a screenshot of the description.
Looks like they guessed the 2020 result wrong.



I am in no way affiliated with the app, nor do I get a cut of the revenue.

up against Jack Smith - for the first time, I feel like it is possible he could off himself to avoid the inevitable. If he is convicted, he is never going to allow himself to go to jail.

The procedure for indicting a sitting president is to impeach him and remove him from office, then the criminal case can proceed.

TFG is not a sitting president, not yet, and he has already been indicted. It would seem, therefore, that the criminal indictment would stand and his trial will proceed, the outcome of the election irrelevant tp this particular case.

IANAL, just an avid reader, and that is what I found.

Now the USSC did allow civil suits to proceed against Clinton, culminating in a perjury trap that led to his impeachment but not to his removal. My guess is that this is one decision, along with line item vetoes of the budget, that the USSC would overturn in record time should it not work in favor of the GOP. However, it shouldn't affect felony indictments that were handed down before he was nominated, much less elected.

This is a joke tweet. He also says Melanie is on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Prosecutors don’t “seize” a crime scene. A prosecution comes long after any crime scene has been processed. A prosecution is not an active investigation of a crime scene.

The OP should have a disclaimer.

It’s an good enough try.

But if Fox was reporting such a thing, there are plenty of Fox hate watching accounts that would have the clip.

That, and it makes no legal sense.

Being able to “get” sarcasm is not an ability of which one should be proud.

Me? I love it. My mother was a huge practical joker and instilled it in her children. April Fools was second only to Christmas in our calendar.

But, at bottom, it requires appreciating, and having, some undesirable moral traits.

My dad was always sarcastic/funny at family gatherers and my mom's side of the family never got the sarcasm and neither did I. I chalked it up to being "gullible".

Whenever I managed to rope in my mom to some joke, she’d look at me, her eyes would narrow, she’d shake her finger at me and say in sotto voce, “You son of a bitch.”

Honestly, I still don’t know what to make of my mom calling me that, but it was always funny as hell.

I don’t know about you, but I’m surprisingly sensitive to this shit. I like barbecues. I like campfires. I used to smoke a pack a day.

But, god damn, this shit stings. I never had a really good grip on what “acrid” means, but it burns the back of my throat and eyes.

I hope he went out and played a round today.
