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.

As for the GA indictment, obviously this is the one that carries the greatest risk for Trump - at least in terms of process. Since these are state crime charges, federal pardons aren't available. That means that Trump, of course, can't be pardoned. But it also means that none of the other indicted folks can be pardoned, either. Which increases the risk that one or more might be willing to plea out and become cooperating witnesses - a risk not present in the January 6th indictments, since those "co-conspirators" weren't separately indicted (probably in part for that reason).


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:

The scope of the alleged conspiracy is massive. Indeed, every call, speech, and tweet appears a criminal step in the conspiracy. District Attorney Fani Willis appears to have elected to charge everything and everyone and let God sort them out.

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