He should just go out onto the street and gun down some democrats. He'll get indicted for mass murder but his popularity will go up and it will raise another $200M!

This week is like living in dreamland. Memories of your first kiss, even losing your virginity seem insignificant now unless it was with a Spanish footballer!

Eastman now wants a speedy trial too, I imagine all 3 will try and throw Trump under the bus before he does the same to them.

The trial date for the DC election case to be announced on Monday.

Big drift now on Vivek, turns out he’s an independent voter too (I’m shocked, not), there’s so much more crap they can dig up on this guy too.

Trump DC trial set for 4th March, barring any delays that means it will start the day before Super Tuesday

12 million pages of evidence to get through. That's roughly 65,000 pages a day. :)

Poor old Mitch McConnell froze for half a minute when asked for his thoughts about running for re-election. It's time he retires gracefully, and it's not a good omen for Biden, who I think is just a year younger. As I found out with my mother, you can deteriorate quickly at that age and four years is far too long to elect an 80-year-old into office, regardless of how healthy they appear.

Annuity companies calculate on an average life expectancy of 86 apparently. No longer 3 score years and 10.

Mitch McConnell has been assessed by doctors and they've diagnosed him as being 81 years old. :)

Seems Rupert Murdoch has gone back to backing Trump, in the Daily Mail today apparently the SuperPAC 'Ron to the Rescue' is shifting it's funds ($50m reportedly) to Trump, but in actuality this PAC has only ever raised a few thousand dollars and currently has $57 cash on hand :lol: So not only has Trump cost Murdoch loads with the Dominion lawsuit but he's willing to back him again.

And reports are that Trump's PAC has spent almost $150m on his legal bills and is almost broke, which means he'll either need a lot more funds very soon (unlikely) or have to start paying for it himself.

Kristi Noem 6.2 fav for VP now after doing a rally with Trump in SD, if he is the nominee she fits his profile ;)

I still believe Youngkin, Reynolds and Sununu are good value bets for VP as I’m still in the RDS camp.

Also, sounds as though the DC Grand Jury is meeting again, I imagine it could be over his campaign funds and if so they will freeze it.

Trump and DeSantis both at the Iowa State v Iowa Hawkeye's football game with Kim Reynolds standing with RDS, that's a big statement. The only early state where Trump will get support from the Governor is in SC.

Biden to face impeachment inquiry. McCarthy claims to have strong credible evidence of corruption, but as long as it's not more serious then starting a riot to overthrow the elected government he should be okay. :D

Someone laying both Trump and Biden heavily in their respective nominee markets, up about 10-15 ticks from where they were

Quite amazing how Newsom and M. Obama are taking up 20% of the Democrat nominee book with the former endorsing Biden and the latter having no interest in running.

Yes, if something were to happen to Biden then Newsom would be in with a shot but even then Harris would be clear fav.
