The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Scanning the charges, he's going to jail. Not because reserving a conference is illegal, but when you have 5,000 charges and you can pick the jury you want, you can convict anybody of anything:

Adding to Albaby. These multiple charges are layered in so that some (most) will survive appeal. One of the analysis I read pointed this out, but didn't go as far as explaining a hypothetical process in enough detail to illuminate the problems. But it did make me look at each charge and wonder what scrutiny it would face on appeal. Ain't this fun? :)

democrats would do well to remember that what goes around, comes around.

Let it come around. At the Federal level, Democrats have fielded administrations with far less corruption than Republicans. Administration = Executive branch, OK? Not the Legislative or Judicial branch.

And yes, we have our problems at the state and local levels, we know. And prosecutorial discretion has a liberal bias because we didn't do anything illegal. But emails... Hunter Biden...
