    It's free money that comes from people who have that money. People who are generally well educated and have a proven ability to economically out perform. Bring in a college educated twenty five year old and you gain all of the benefits of their ~20 years of invested education and the living...

    And you would instantly cause Mega Ultra Depression (because Great Depression 2.0 just isn't enough to properly express the scale of the problem). The underlying problem isn't with the Federal Reserve, it is with the Treasury/Congress being utterly unwilling to constrain spending to tax...

    No, it's not. The Constitution gives the President absolute, unlimited, plenary, unquestionable, authority to pardon ANYONE of any and all federal crimes. The only thing that a pardon can't wipe away is an Impeachment and the ban of holding future office that can come with a conviction. It...

    Trump Investigations Thread

    The Espionage Act itself, at least the bit related to national defense information, has serious first amendment issues. Which is why it is basically never the basis for actual charges related to said national defense information. The charges are usually all under the various classification...

    Apparently the audio recording came from one of Trump's lawyers and was a recording of an attorney-client meeting about turning over the documents.

    Which is one of the reasons bringing Espionage Act charges is always really iffy. There is also the question of whether or not Trump ever officially agreed to be bound by any of the classification rules. Normally, when you apply for and/or receive a clearance you have to sign a form agreeing...

    Trump Investigations Thread

    Did Trump break the law with the papers he had at Mar-a-Lago and how he handled that entire affair? Very likely. Were his actions unwise? Absolutely. Do his actions (both in this situation and more broadly) raise to the level of raising serious doubts as to his suitability for the office of...

    Trump Investigations Thread

    Like let's be realistic. Is Trump sitting in an NY jail on charges related to Stormy Daniels going to get anyone who was going to vote Trump over Biden to suddenly not vote Trump? What does Trump loose out on by not being able to campaign? Trump being Trump isn't going to win him even one more...

    Trump Investigations Thread

    If Trump had any brains at all, he would just blatantly ignore the gag order and publicly dare NY to throw him in jail. Then have his surrogates make the entire election about Democrat interference in the US Presidential Election as the Soros Backed Democract DA and a Democrat Judge throw the...

    No. If Trump wasn't running then DeSantis would win the Republican nomination in a landslide and would destroy Biden in the General. Everyone who would vote for Trump would also be willing to vote for DeSantis and, unlike Trump, DeSantis isn't utterly toxic with a substantial percentage of...

    No, SoL begins from the date of the crime. In this case it is a five year SoL that started, at the latest, in 2017. NY's argument is that the five year SoL timer was suspended when Trump wasn't in NY.

    Assuming this is actually the Stormy Daniels thing and the media reporting is accurate (at least mostly), this is going to be amusing and does nothing but benefit Trump. That statute of limitations for the suspected charges expired in 2021. The first hurdle the prosecution faces is overcoming...
