Will TFG be competent to stand additional trials by the time they finally start?

Here is a long, but interesting, article about people with dementia committing crimes. I found it when pondering the question of whether TFG will ever go to prison. Until recently I was optimistic. Perhaps if the sentencing of the fraud case happens soon and requires doing time, maybe. Now that his mental health is quickly unraveling I’m starting to think he will not. Not only must he be competent for trial, he must also be competent for the sentencing.

Damn the long delays of nearly 4 years in the documents and interference cases.

Bombshell special counsel filing includes new allegations



https://abcnews.go.com/US/bombshell-special-counsel-filing-includes-new-allegations-trumps/story?id=114409494

‘Special counsel Jack Smith has outlined new details of former President Donald Trump and his allies' sweeping and "increasingly desperate" efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, in a blockbuster court filing Wednesday aimed at defending Smith's prosecution of Trump following the Supreme Court's July immunity ruling.

Trump intentionally lied to the public, state election officials, and his own vice president in an effort to cling to power after losing the election, while privately describing some of the claims of election fraud as "crazy," prosecutors alleged in the 165-page filing.

"When the defendant lost the 2020 presidential election, he resorted to crimes to try to stay in office," the filing said. "With private co-conspirators, the defendant launched a series of increasingly desperate plans to overturn the legitimate election results in seven states that he had lost."’

You can't spell idjit without djt


Idjit or eejit is the Hibernian English pronunciation of idiot. If you go to Ireland and somebody calls you a right fuckin' idjit, this will not be a compliment.
