  1. You know what grinds my gears? Trial judges taking their sweet ass time making a straight-forward ruling like this one should be. Did you mean to ask how it would disadvantage his defense? If so, that's impossible to answer, because it obviously didn't/doesn't at all. The theory is that the relationship was a/the motivation for pursuing the case and/or creates an improper incentive to try the case no matter what. At least that's the idea behind the disqualification statute - prosecutors are supposed to only care about obtaining justice. It's dumb as fuck for multiple reasons. First, a grand jury indicted defendants. Second, this case was always certain to go to trial. Third, everyone knows Trump is guilty. Fourth, Wade was already making good money from his practice; it's not as though she gave her unemployed bf a job. Fifth, they're no longer seeing each other. The judge seems most concerned about the "appearance of impropriety" tainting the public's perception of the case. Couple of problems with that. First, the applicable law seems to require an actual conflict, not just the appearance of one. Second, everyone who might question the legitimacy of the case based on these facts has believed it was a sham from the getgo. This whole issue's been a big, pointless waste of time.
  2. This one's easy. 1. They were indicted by a grand jury and a lot of the felonious conduct forming the basis of the case was done out in the open. Any argument that this is a farce is farcical. 2. Even if she appointed Wade to get a dickback, how does that prejudice the defendants in any way?
  3. I think he's just a stupid man who hates America.
  4. Wow, actually telling their drones the truth for once. Hume must be on his way out.
  5. This is what the last few posts ITT are referring to in case anyone is wondering.
  6. If he wins in November it will mean he walks. I'll be shocked if she gets disqualified though. It would require the judge rejecting her unrebutted claim of paying him back in cash. May be questionable whether she really did, but she's on the right side of the preponderance of evidence. To be clear, I don't think she should be DQ'd even if she didn't pay him back. This whole thing is a clown show that the judge shouldn't have entertained.
  7. Don't know wtf you're looking at or talking about. If you're saying people only think Taylor is hot bc of her makeup, hair, and confidence, that's hilarious.
  8. I always thought it was insane how everyone is talking to like 10+ different people at a time. I found it exhausting after a while.
  9. I think it'd be lame to do a political comedy show and not make fun of Biden some. Not really the same as bothsiderism in my view.
  10. Noah ended up being fantastic. I didn't like him at first. Not sure if he improved or I was just used to Stewart but in the latter years he was just as good if not better IMO.
  11. Not sure about that one.
  12. Sounds like this dumbass should be a circus critic or pretty much anything else other than covering government.
  13. I knew they weren't doing shit but seeing it like this is just fuckin amazing. Infuriating that all these congress critters are taking $200k or whatever from taxpayers, not even trying to look like they're doing jack shit for their constituents, all while whining about libs wasting taxpayer money.
  14. Love the last "fact's" citation to some hack conservative radio show host. But I guess it goes without saying that voting to recognize Ramadan by itself made it the most pro-Muslim Texas lege in history.
  15. Tucker would be a perfect fit if Vlad can spare him.
  16. I don't think we'd hear about their lobbying measures but I also sort of doubt our arms industry is all that worried about demand. Whatever doesn't end up going to Israine will just be stockpiled here.
  17. Holy shit, I hadn't heard about this. Where can I get one? My friend would like one of them boxes.
  18. Thank Christ dotard and his henchmen aren't even 1% as cunning or as effective (at anything other than gifting).
  19. The only question is whether enough of the assholes vote to grant cert (4) in order to delay the trial, which to be clear would constitute yet another shameful mark on the court's legitimacy. There's no way they're reversing, and I'm as jaded about the court as anyone.
  20. What do you mean? By doing what?
