Rudy Giuliani, Trump's former lawyer and madman, ordered to pay $148M in defamation trial, lying about election workers concealing ballot papers in suitcases. :D :D

He vowed to personally give evidence at the trial but it turned out that was a lie as well. :mrgreen:

Giuliani: I'm quite confident that when this gets in front of a fair tribunal it will be reversed so fast it will make your head spin. :lol:

Colorado SC rules Donald Trump is ineligible to be President.

I’m not sure if this can be appealed to the USSC but this is massive, the GOP voters have a chance to nominate an electable candidate but knowing them it’ll just spur them even more for DT.

Colorado Supreme Court has banned Trump from the ballot. Not entirely sure what that means but it sounds good news. :D

Seems the price for his presidency went down just a couple of percent

He could die and his price will still go down, judging by the ideocracy on the 2020 thread. People will back him to come back from the dead and win. :lol:

If I understand correctly, orange face is appealing the decision to the federal supreme court. If the decision is upheld other states could follow suit. :D

Correct but he has or did have 3 of those Judges on his side. I would say he has a 75% chance of things going his way. But I guess it could go either way.

Colorado Supreme Court shows it's support for democracy by telling voters they cannot vote for DT. Yet another example of the LL preventing democracy if they don't agree with a candidate.

It can only be considered 'good news' if you don't support democracy!

To save time/effort: out of the U.S. Presidents that are still alive as of November 30, 2023, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama cannot be elected again because of the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution. All of them were elected twice.

Jimmy Carter, Donald Trump and Joe Biden can be elected president again as they have been elected only once.

DT is being barred because of a Court and not this amendment.

Clinton, Bush, Carter, and Obama can't be president because of the constitution. The same is true for Trudeau, Schwarzenegger and Prince Harry. It is also true for Trump, probably, apparently https://edition.cnn.com/2023/12/19/poli ... index.html

Yes but the trouble is the laws are not being applied fairly and equally. Classified papers are found with Biden and that's OK, classified papers are found with Trump and he is indicted! We had it here, a glass of wine and a piece of cake with people you mix with regularly (therefore only marginally increasing the risk of you spreading a virus) earns you an FPN but a beer and a curry with people you do not regularly mix with (therefore increasing the risk of spreading a virus) is perfectly OK! Seems like one application of the law for the friends of the LL's and a different application for those that are not. Isn't that a form of privilege?
