Even with those charges I still see him mopping the floor with DeSantis next year He'll just cry that he's the victim and his supporters will ignore the charges

It'd be nice to see an actual, real, tangible, life-affecting consequence. But I would doubt that he's facing serious prison time. We just won't know until the actual charges are unsealed.

You know, I used to think that Ted Cruz bending the knee for Trump in 2016 was the most pathetic thing I've seen in politics, but this weird Pence defense of Trump has to be worse

We were talking about Tim Scott potentially running for President in 2024, and just like Mike Pence in a different interview a couple of weeks ago he refused to say he would support a bill by Lindsay Graham to set a 15 week abortion ban nationwide. https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1646261339361361921?s=20

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:This is such a bizarre tack to take for the "100% pro-life" people. Especially since people like DeSantis and others are okaying 6-week limits. Mike Pence of all people being not sure if he would support a 15-week limit is a wild choice in particular. Is there a group out there who were huge Mike Pence fans until they heard he wanted to limit abortion? I can maybe, maybe, see someone like Scott (who 99% of people aren't familiar with) trying to pull something like this and thinking it is a good idea, but still such a weird strategic decision. All of them seem to be blindsided when asked a follow-up question about abortion too. It's going to be a problem because the more reactionary parts of the GOP base are pushing their politicians in that direction, not to mention these awful Chud Judges.

He’s a piece of poo poo but Trump has some political instincts and also isn’t at all wedded to the GOP so he’s not going to toe the line on everything they want

Yes the correct response is to not play the game here Once you start to capitulate at all things will go south Plus the House GOP is extremely disorganized and were barely able to elect a speaker in the first place so I have low confidence that they will be able to pass their own bill

I'm glad Biden has ignored the GOP's attempts to negotiate on this. I'm just curious if they have a backup plan in the likely event that nothing gets done by the drop-dead date. He has previously said that they are not going to 'mint the coin'.

I don't disagree but I think that anything happening in Congress currently is a waste of time, and McCarthy is going to get removed as Speaker if he capitulates and attempts to get through a clean bill at the last minute, so I am very concerned that the only real options are going to be what had previously been expressed as 'extreme/untested measures'.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:It will go to the appeals court. Same circuit, but not the same judge. The 5th circuit is mostly conservative judges, but the district judge who made the ruling is an especially wild Trump judge who has had nearly all his rulings overturned (by the mostly Republican appointed appeals court) because of how far out he is.
