Fresh charges for Trump. Attempting to destroy CCTV evidence at Mar-a-Lago and inducing others to do so, plus willful retention of national defence information. :D
Seems like the J6 Federal charge will now come next week, also Fulton County GA. courthouse have started putting up barricades, I think the Grand Jury meets for 2 weeks there starting 31st July.

It's because it brings out the voter who is more anti stitch-up than politically loyal! :D

He used to keep banging on about witch hunts, now it's an illegal witch hunt! So most of the witch hunts were legal. :)

Of course I remember that's what I was referring to ... "too literally" and "failing to recognise when somebody's being light-hearted." are the same thing to me! The problem is you and others make digging at Trump a full time pastime so even if said light-hearted there is probably a degree of literal intent. :)

You've got it the wrong way around. The person being light-hearted can be literal, because he's not being serious.

The person reading the comment shouldn't take it literally for the same reason, the writer isn't being serious. :)

All GOP candidates were at the Iowa Lincoln Dinner last night (apart from Christie), they each got 10 minutes, here's Trump's and my god no wonder he doesn't want to debate, his heart is no longer in it he's just doing it to try and save himself.

He really hates DeSantis (calls him DeSanctus), he doesn't hate any other candidate, I wonder why that is...

A jury has retired to decide whether a man should face the death penalty. For a fleeting moment, I was hoping to hear Trump's name. :)

DOJ press conference now, Trump to be indicted for 3rd time apparently, interested to hear who's going to be indicted also.
