@OverTables Yes, he is a statesman. And this is a thing that has sadly become too scarce. Along those lines, his age reflects - not the politically charged false narratives of the Right or the "anxiously judging a book by its cover" Left, but these two things most: EXPERIENCE and WISDOM.

@jimstewartson @AriMelber Couldn’t watch him. Turned it off. We must stop giving these Magas oxygen.

Letting alleged Venmo child trafficker Matt Gaetz on your show to pretend there is a legitimate political discussion to have with him is despicable @AriMelber.
This seditionist amoral Nazi is lying his ass off & smirking all the way through it. He’s an arsonist not a politician.

They came in bullish for a ridiculous delay.
They threatened to flood the docket with motions to derail the administration of Justice.
They hemmed. They hawed. It was bad political theater.
Judge Chutkan wasn’t having any of it.
He will get his day in court.
He will have time to prepare.
He will be judged by a jury of his peers.
To someone who’s felt entitled their whole life, it was a rude awakening.
An awakening…to the rule of law.

@toggy500 @PalmerReport I also consider this the Age of Umbrage.
English

@PalmerReport Well stated...
Merchants of Outrage.
The left will castigate Smith for not doing enough and slow walking the investigations.
The right will scream from the rooftops that he's over-reaching, that Saint trump is being smeared.
BTW... that's a good name for a rock band !!

I keep hearing this idea that Jack Smith can just hit Trump with specific charges that’ll trigger the 14th Amendment, and then poof, he’s magically banned from the election. It’s a nice idea. But once you actually gameplan it out, it falls apart almost immediately. Smith would need to not only bring the magic charges, but get to trial and get a conviction. Only THEN would a separate court battle begin over whether the 14th Amendment actually works that way, and whether Trump should actually be removed from the race. Such a court battle would spend years being appealed, and wouldn’t have any chance of having any impact on the 2024 election. Moreover, the final arbiter of the 14th Amendment question would be the Supreme Court. They’d probably get the ruling wrong. Which wouldn’t matter because it probably wouldn’t get to them until 2026 anyway.
Every presentation I’ve seen of this idea involves Trump being immediately and automatically removed from the election the second he’s convicted on the magic charges. But that is, very obviously, not how our legal system works. The people hyping this idea are portraying the 14th Amendment as a trap door that just appears and sends Trump down a trap door if he’s convicted on these specific charges. That’s painfully, painfully naive.
It doesn’t take a full two minutes of critical thought to figure out that Trump isn’t going to just be magically “disqualified” from the 2024 election by the 14th Amendment Fairy. But here’s the kicker. In the above scenario, once Trump is convicted at trial, he’ll be sent to prison. At that point his 2024 campaign will realistically be over, in spite of all the cutesy baby talk about how he could somehow be magically viable from prison.
So once Trump is convicted on any charges – not strictly the specific charges being laid out in the magic wand idea – he’ll go to prison and it’ll effectively be all over for him. The 14th Amendment magic wand isn’t really needed, which is good, because it’s not going to be a real thing anyway.
If this 14th Amendment idea is both unnecessary and unrealistic, why do we hear so much about it? Because these kinds of simplistic magic wand ideas are good for ratings and retweets. It allows pundits and wannabe pundits so sound clever. And it allows their followers to feel smart. After all, there’s this really simple all powerful idea that’s going to instantly fix everything, and only they know about it! (It’s also called being really gullible).
The problem is that these magic wand ideas, precisely because they’re such simplistic bullshit, manage to easily fit into a single sentence – which allows them to become slogans – which means they spread far more quickly than anyone can poke factual holes in them. Look at how long it’s taken me to explain why this isn’t a real thing, and yet some of you are still thinking there’s got to be something to the 14th Amendment idea, simply because you’ve heard it so many times.
There’s also the cold hard reality that the closer we get to Jack Smith charging Trump for January 6th, the more in danger the pundits are of running out of things they can say about the case. After all, we’re about to find out the charges. The parameters for the trial will be set. Why would you need anyone on Twitter to tell you about the case, after we get to a point where Jack Smith is telling everyone about the case? And so we’re seeing this sudden ramp up of magic wand ideas and other over the top narratives aimed at convincing you that the real story isn’t whatever Jack Smith says it is, the real story is this whole other thing.
It also allows the merchants of outrage to stay in business. No matter what Jack Smith charges Trump with, the merchants of outrage will simply say that Smith isn’t doing enough because he’s not invoking the 14th Amendment magic wand. And the broken people who want to spend all day feeling outrage will latch right onto it.
