It will split the GOP, those that are MAGA and those that would of voted for Trump because they are more "afraid" of Dems, the latter is most of the Repubs I personally know.

I don't think your wrong about some unrest but if he were to run as an independent I think his vote total would be so low that it will go away fairly quickly without gaining much traction.

But we never really know for sure while playing keyboard QB
And I agree with Oerets, I think they should already be planning on it, not many want someone that old in office.

We'll see. The defense had a number of motions that were denied, particularly barring the defense from certain lines of questioning which seemed like they should be fair game.

For example, Judge Kaplan previously barred the defense from bringing up the entrepreneur, Reid Hoffman, who funded the lawsuit. This was even after a statement made by Carroll during her testimony might have opened the door for that discussion.

A plaintiff's source of funding has no bearing on the facts or validity of a case.

Not to mention Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society. That's essentially ALL they do besides helping put unqualified ideologues on the courts.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a history-defying whirlwind of events, the American people have been left flabbergasted by the surreal spectacle of liars not getting away with it.

In barely more than two weeks, the nation has witnessed an unprecedented wave of accountability crash over a leading cable-TV host, a former President, and a man who claimed that he worked for Morgan Stanley but denied that he was a drag performer in Rio.

In Washington, the ominous possibility that lies have consequences has sent a chill down the corridors of power.

“If this trend continues, I’ll lose my majority,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reportedly told colleagues.

You have no idea who I'm "right in there with", and you prove it nearly every time you post.
