Logic

When a lot of public opinion is just sad and stupid dumb etc , is nice to hear people that still make sense,just and intelligent, keep up the good work.

Overcharged

Thanks for the great coverage of SCOTUS and politically charged cases against Donald Trump.

Now I have a question, regarding the lawfare that has become a feature of our justice and political systems…

When Donald Trump is convicted of just one felony, how will that affect the General Election ballots?
Will Trump remain on any of them?

Senator Ted Cruz has said that all 50 States will likely remove Donald Trump’s name from the ballot in response to his becoming a felon.

Then Trump only recourse will be to mount an epic right-in campaign.
