DeSantis trying to become president is what annoys me, I like him as Governor of Florida, and he narrowly won in 2018
the media is trying to make him President. he narrowly won over a cracked out federally indicted betrayer because of ‘reasons’. that’s how precarious elections can be
i think he’s better off in FL. doing a good job, media makes him out to be a reich winger but never went full crazy on anti vaccines, kept businesses open as best as possible, is less brash than your usually firebrand, and everyone who looooooooves taxes but hates actually paying up wants to move there lol. the normal people (tax paying normal working Americans that live there) who i’ve known for many years are either neutral or positive on him - ancedotal but still

When you don't listen to experts, you end up with churches saying that it's okay to be a faggot even though it's clearly a sin. Experts make mistakes and can be wrong. We should not encourage the dismantling of important institutions when this happens.
Anyway, to get back on topic, I recall you saying that Trump won't be indicted and I think that was the correct take at the time. Now, I don't think there's anyway around it. This is a slam dunk case.

Of course not, it's important that we have both doctors and police. But it's equally important to ensure that they're not corrupt, and political corruption is about as bad as it gets. If i have to second guess my doctor, it undermines much of what was good about the doctor in the first place. And it's very hard for people to buy into law and order if the application of the law is compromised. Wray might have to resign, agents might need to go to jail. It's a small price to pay and they should be happy to do it.
On the case, what would you expect the charges to be?
yeah to echo bogie here: indictment for what? having a piece of paper? he just needs to say he didnt know he was supposed to treat it a certain way. there is precedent for this having absolutely zero penalty.
now if said piece of paper is “nuclear secrets” he only needs to say they were to be shared with iran. that is part and parcel of US govt procedure for a long time now. he would have 5 nobel peace prizes lined up if he said this what happened
