I don't care if people have guns but obviously the *type* of guns people are allowed to have should be regulated.

More like chop his own base off at the knees.  Thing is..Dictator Donald won't need them anymore, and he's already explained...to their faces...that he doesn't care about them now.

I can see some of them planning another attempt.

This is like the shot of raising the flag on Iwo Jima.

He's won for sure.

Yup.  First time I saw the photo, I shouted "Pulitzer!" at the TV.

No it was simply the police and prosecutor being so focused on convicting him that they deliberately hid exculpatory evidence.  This probably makes Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's appeal a slam dunk too.

It's what happens when the prosecution lies against a defendant who can afford a good counsel.

It's pretty clear that the prosecution, all up and down the state's conservative officialdom, had it in for Baldwin, because he made Trump look bad on SNL.

The classified documents case against former President Donald Trump has been dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon, according to court records.

The judge ruled that special counsel Jack Smith's apointment was unconstitutional.

"The Superseding Indictment is DISMISSED because Special Counsel Smith’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution," she wrote.

You gotta hand it to the framers. They saw centuries into the future and crafted the constitution to protect king donald specifically and exclusively from the tyranny of the rule of law.

But only for him:

Quote:Cannon, a Trump appointee, weighed the legality of the special counsel’s appointment at a hearing last month. In an unusual move, the judge had allowed outside parties to make arguments.

Her ruling throws into question the appointments of other special counsels, though Cannon made clear her determination is “confined to this proceeding.” Trump’s lawyers had not raised the argument in the special counsel’s other prosecution of the former president on charges of conspiring to subvert the 2020 election.

Here's the ruling in its entirety:

https://static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/c...lorida.pdf

This judge is clearly incorrect in her reading of what an "inferior" officer is. Jack Smith is clearly an inferior officer, as he is supervised by and may be removed by the AG -- which is what would've happened had this case been continued and Trump won.

And still useful idiots like @Aractus argue that Trump is not a threat to democracy.
