Might have been, he has feelers out to Biscuit.
For what it's worth, Root Beer is all in for Sharks.
Trump is out on bail from 4 different jurisdictions, so this Judge can't but any of the other 4 Judges can "remand until trial" him, and would have by now if we didn't have a 2 teir Justice System. Sadly they can't do much about what he says about this case, but I'm sure we're all gonna get a chance to see what they do in theor own.keith wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 10:23 pm Findlaw: Rioting and Inciting to Riot
I'm not sure what I'm trying to say here, but how insane does Trump's incendiary speech have to be before the disincentives against it are not "overly broad".Protected Speech Versus Incitement
Citizens have a right to free speech pursuant to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The extent of that right has been continually tested and strongly protected at all levels of government. But that right is not unlimited.
The Supreme Court found, in the case of Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), that speech is not constitutionally protected if it is intended to produce imminent violent conduct and is likely to do so. However, the limits of free speech are still being defined in the courts. A recent Ninth Circuit decision found that statutory language in the federal riot statute that criminalizes "promoting" or "encouraging" a riot was overly broad.

As Donald Trump scrambles to defend his business empire in court, the former president has suffered another blow: dropping off The Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans.
Trump’s net worth tumbled by 19%, or $600 million, to an estimated $2.6 billion total. That left him $300 million shy of the Forbes cutoff when the magazine unveiled the list Tuesday.
That means that for the second time in three years, Trump did not make the cut for the annual rankings that he’s long seemed obsessed with and has even been accused of conning his way onto in the past.
Unlike the steady or growing fortunes of Forbes 400 leaders Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Larry Ellison, Trump’s net worth took a double-digit hit. This comes as he faces mounting legal bills to fight civil and criminal charges, including an ongoing civil fraud trial in New York and multiple trials scheduled for next year.
The drop in Trump’s net worth was driven by two central factors: Both his social media platform and office buildings have lost value, according to Forbes.

First, Trump CAN’T be Speaker pursuant to House Republicans’ own rule 26 - which bans anyone indicted with a felony that has more than a two year punishment.
Second, this would be the BEST POSSIBLE scenario for Democrats. The shit show would almost ensure Democrats win every branch of government in 2024.
Do it!
C'mon mate, if all Trump's misdeeds were listed in the title there'd be no space left on the page for posts.Dave from down under wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 3:56 pm Is it time to update the thread title to include:

In other words, "the state's case is falling apart." Where did I hear that before and how did that turn out? Oh, yeah, in the case of Terry Trussell, who was convicted on all charges after mere moments of jury deliberations and who expired while incarcerated. One can only hope that foreshadowing might lead to history repeating itself.Frank G. Runyeon

NOW: Trump lashes out at Justice Engoron and AG James as “corrupt” saying they have “no case.”

Not.
Because of course it gets worse.

While Donald Trump is responsible for unhinged, incoherent content on Truth Social every single day, an image he posted on Monday evening stood out for being especially offensive and delusional. Tucked between video clips of Trump’s remarks hours earlier outside a Manhattan courtroom, where he is being tried for fraud in a civil lawsuit brought by New York attorney general Letitia James, was a screenshot of a tweet from user Dom Lucre showing a fake courtroom sketch of Jesus by Trump’s side.
The image is ridiculous, blasphemous, and confusing. Is Jesus supposed to be Trump’s co-defendant or his attorney? Does the caption “nobody could have made it this far alone” mean Trump being hauled before the court for his decades of alleged business fraud is part of some divine plan? And who is this “Dom Lucre” anyway?
Well, you’re going to be sorry you asked!
The X (formerly Twitter) account where the post originated belongs to Dominick McGee, a right-wing influencer and QAnon conspiracy theorist who made headlines in July when his account was quickly reinstated after he posted child sex-abuse imagery. The notorious image was made by Peter Gerard Scully, an Australian who was sentenced to life in prison plus 129 years last year for rape, human trafficking, and the sexual abuse of children as young as 18 months. After some of McGee’s more than half a million followers complained that he was banned over his politics, X owner Elon Musk stepped in to reinstate him. As the Washington Post reported, Musk claimed that only X’s content moderators had seen the material, though that doesn’t appear to be the case:
