just a formality, but Donald Trump may be able to clinch the Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday, after results are in from the four GOP voting contests taking place in Georgia, Washington, Mississippi and Hawaii. Trump has over 1,075 delegates (according to CBS), and needs 1215 to secure the nomination. In the four contests Tuesday, 161 GOP delegates are at stake. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/r...sissippi-trump-2024/ once Trump is the formal REP candidate, it drives home even more that all the phony charges against him are election interference | |||

I saw on the news today that they expect a decision from the judge concerning Fani and her squeeze this week. I hope so and I hope he throws the book at them followed by the Georgia Law Bar. | |||

two weeks ago: Texas pastor and long-shot Republican presidential candidate Ryan Binkley officially ended his race for the White House and endorsed his political party's favored candidate for the nomination, former President Donald Trump. Binkley thanked his supporters and more than 80,000 financial backers -- "who helped share my vision" -- on social media before offering Trump his "unwavering support" as the election continues. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news...es-trump/ar-BB1j0w1x | |||

He said on Friday before last that he would have a decision within two weeks. That was eleven days ago. He needs to get the fuck on with it. This is a no-brainer. He's beginning to piss me off with his foot-dragging bullshit. | |||

https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/12...lis-trump/index.html The presiding judge in former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election subversion case says he is on track to order this week on whether to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. In an interview last week on WSB Radio in Atlanta to discuss the challenger he will face in his reelection bid , Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee briefly spoke about Willis and his pending order on whether to remove her from prosecuting Trump and the remaining co-defendants. “I gave myself a deadline because I knew everyone wanted an answer. And I’ll tell you that an order like this takes time to write,” McAfee said in the interview. “There is a lot that I have to go through. And so, I’ve had – and again I’ll emphasize this – I’ve had a rough draft in an outline before I ever heard a rumor that someone wanted to run for this position, so the result is not going to change because of politics,” McAfee added. “I am calling as best I can and the law as I understand it. So, I still feel like I’m on track to having that done by the deadline that I put on myself,” he said. McAfee told the court at the end of the Willis disqualification hearings that he would take at least two weeks to decide. McAfee talked about how the case has impacted him personally, saying he looks forward to the day he can speak with his toddler-aged children about his experience presiding over the historic case. “What I think about is I got two kids, 5 and 3. They are too young to have any idea what’s going on or what I do.,” the judge said. “But what I’m looking forward to one day is maybe they grow up a little bit and ask me about it, and I’m looking forward to looking them in the eye and tell them I played it straight and I did the best I could.” | |||

McAfee may have a tough time getting elected in November. McAfee, 34, who served as prosecutor both in Fulton county and for the US Department of Justice, is a Federalist Society conservative He is a new judge. He was appointed by the governor a year ago (February 2023) He has a challenger for this position : Robert Patillo. Patillo is a black male. Patillo, 39, has practiced civil rights law for more than 15 years in Georgia. He also has a long-running radio show on Atlanta’s WAOK, in which his occasionally idiosyncratic political views have an airing. “There are a lot more things that are broken in the Fulton county court, that deserve attention, more than Fani and the Trump trial,” Patillo said. “There are people who have been in that jail for five years awaiting trial. Anyone who is going to be a judge needs a plan to bring these cases to court.” Judicial races are nonpartisan in Georgia, but Fulton county has a three-to-one Democratic voter advantage. Jesse Jackson: "Robert Patillo is a leader of our times, reverent to his history while still being the Intellectual Militant that this generation demands" Attorney Robert Hillard Patillo II is the Executive Director of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition's Peachtree Street Project headquartered in Atlanta Georgia. Attorney Patillo has worked with and advised Rev. Jesse L. Jackson for over 20 years and is a highly sought after speaker and organizer in the fields of Civil and Human Rights. Attorney Patillo has worked as a political organizer and Political Strategist for over 25 years as well as practicing Civil Rights Law for over a decade in his law practice at The Patillo Law Group, LLC. https://robertpatillo.com/ Does McAfee stand a chance to get elected in Fulton County ? | |||

Probably not, and likely especially not if he rules against Fani, which is why I would hope he wouldn't rule with the hope of getting retained or elected as it likely won't matter anyway. We can only hope he does what's right. And anyway, who's to say there isn't something bigger for him in his future, like a federal judgeship? But let's face it. This new challenger stepping forward now is no coincidence. It's a message, and we'd be foolish to think McAfee doesn't have his job on his mind when ruling on this case. I hope in the end he's a principled man. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

I hope I'm wrong but that reads like she might skate. I'm pretty jaded about our legal system though so maybe its me "Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living.

Granted, its a poll ( and more likely propaganda than fact), but 66.6% of Black voters would still vote Democrat? In the year of our Lord 2024? That is so disappointing, perplexing and ironic. ____________________ | |||

I always try to look at the positive aspects of things these days. That percentage while high is one that will continue to decline as more and more people realize the Democrat party is full of clowns that give less than zero fucks about them and their well being. Was your life better when Trump was president or Biden? This question is simple to answer and is a great way to gauge how detached from reality some people have become. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Are you kidding? In the past, if a Republican POTUS candidate received 10% of the black vote, it was considered outstanding. In 2020, Trump received a little less than 10% and is on track to drastically increase that percentage for 2024, he could likely break the 20% mark, a historical achievement. If Trump gets 33% of the black vote, the Dems would go batshit crazy.

Since the immunity issue, now I'm getting nothing but anti-Trump videos popping up on YouTube. Almost as if they are trying to convince me. Sorry, you're barking up the wrong tree. --Tom The right of self preservation, in turn, was understood as the right to defend oneself against attacks by lawless individuals, or, if absolutely necessary, to resist and throw off a tyrannical government. | |||

Judge dismisses some counts against Trump in Fani Willis election interference case Judge Scott McAffee said the state failed to provide sufficient detail in six counts against Trump and his co-defendants Link A Fulton County judge has quashed six counts in the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants. Judge Scott McAffee said in an order Wednesday that the state failed to allege sufficient detail for six counts of "solicitation of violation of oath by public officer." "The Court’s concern is less that the State has failed to allege sufficient conduct of the Defendants — in fact it has alleged an abundance. However, the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned opinion, fatal," McAfee wrote. "As written, these six counts contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited," the judge continued. "They do not give the Defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the Defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways." | |||

My tea leaf reading of this is he could disqualify willis and wade, but not dismiss all remaining charges. | |||
