Well, it certainly seems as if the attorneys for POS Hunter Biden are taking the kitchen sink approach to his defense:
Somewhere in all of that is the DOJ’s verification that every single thing we learned in 2020 about POS Hunter Biden based on his laptop contents was true. The FBI stood silently while 51 partisans falsely claimed it was Russian disinformation.

Are all valid, non-frivolous, and most are likely to be at least partially successful motions. Must be shocked after seeing what Rapist-in-Chief and his pro bono strip mall lawyers have offered in recent motions.
As the profoundly stupid trust fund troll himself has previously argued in these comments, Weiss did not come from “outside” the DOJ.
The gun charge was declared unconstitutional last year
The use immunity agreement was willingly entered into by the prosecutor before House Republicans ordered him to blow up the plea deal.
Pending the motion for disco, Abbe Lowell is now prepared to show in court that Weiss blew up that deal to appease House Republicans.
At least half of those motions stand a substantial likelihood of success. The profoundly stupid trust fund troll never once came close to batting .500 – including T-ball.
The FBI stood
silentlylaughing their asses offWhile degen repukes slobbered over dick pics..
At HA, Hunter’s dick pics “touch” teh kreepshit troll only..
Dumbass coward Weiss blew up a good plea deal (along with his credibility).
How ironic if in the end the only remaining charges he can bring are those the defendant had previously agreed to accept.

What month is it?
Good Gawd but it is a beautiful sight to watch this fucking treasonous POS crawl “like a dog” back to Trump after pretending for a year with Fat Midget and Shop Girl.
Trump is the profoundly stupid trust fund troll’s nominee.
He knows precisely how incredibly self-destructive that is for Republicans. He knows how many of his fellow Republicans will give up hope and stay home. He knows how many college educated white women will leave the party forever never to vote for another Republican as long as they live. He knows how much worse all that will get in the coming months as Trump Trial evidence and witnesses comes forward. And he knows how likely it is that some “alt-moderate” Republican like Christie or Haley will run against Trump in November stealing away the rest of the college educated white women.
That’s why for over a year the idiot silently and not-so-silently prayed for Anyone But Trump only to make it into 2024 defeated and crushed.
In less than a year we get to watch the rest of them collapsing into tears right alongside him.
Currently owned by the Texas-Florida based “father of vulture capitalism” who was famous for strip mining the carcasses of media companies he himself had poisoned.
So anything short of naked fascism is now “not conservative” in the eyes of the Trump Supporting Trust Fund Troll.

@5 “Looking like it’s over.”

@6 The Baltimore Sun and its parent companies have changed hands so many times in recent years it’s hard to tell who actually ran the newsroom it doesn’t have anymore after laying off all the journalists, but I’m pretty sure none of them were flaming liberals.
@12 Judges don’t like to lock up toddlers. It’s not a good look.
@13 It’s not arrogant to point out that educated people know more than you, although it is unnecessary, as that’s stating the obvious.
And yet I remain eager to test those limits, even if you clam they don’t exist.
Try this:
YOU LOST. You lost before you lost. And you lost after you lost. And you will continue to lose again.
Because you are a loser.
You’re a loser because you are wrong. We’ve pointed that out to you thousands of times in these comments. And still you’ve failed to correct yourself. Repeatedly and persistently clinging to your own self-imposed myths are what has left you stuck on stupid. And that’s what makes you a loser. And finally why I’m sure you will remain a loser.
Turns out, empiraclly, most people disagree with you.
With YOU. Not with the rest of us posting here in HA. Most Americans disagree with YOU. Now that may not be enough to convince you that you are wrong. You were taught as a child not to jump off a bridge just because all the other kids in Special Ed were doing it. But it ought to be enough to make you reconsider and examine some of your assumptions. But you persistently ignore even that. And choose instead to hide in a bubble of ignorance.
But then you plant your pride in your ignorance, as if therein lies some imaginary nobility of character. Being dumb as a fence post does not confer character or dignity upon you. It just disadvantags you with respect to all the people who are smarter than you. Being poorer does not make you noble. It just makes you poor. You might not be if you weren’t so dumb.
Wise up. Con men like Trump, Trumpism, Bircherism, Ron Paul, and Joe Rogan have been gleefully lying to you and fucking you for as long as you’ve been alive. Not “the libs”. Not “that bitch”. Not “The Blacks”. But every fake “working class hero” you’ve ever put your trust in since the beginning has been straight fucking you.

No, he didn’t. He kept that promise. Republican justices blocked it. And young voters won’t forget.
Hunter Biden is only in contempt of a couple contemptible congressmen. Trump regards courts with contempt, and the entire Republican Party is in contempt of civilized norms.

Elyria Ohio,
A young mother heard banging on her front door from the kitchen while warming a bottle for her infant. Looking out the window she sees a large force of a dozen or so riot gear clad officers who immediately break down the door and order her to the ground. An explosive device goes off in the room where she knows her infant is waiting for a feeding. Officers are indifferent to her request to check on the baby.
And here’s where cops lie. All the fucking time.
One. Police have been to the house at least twice in the previous theee months and are told that the person they are looking for is the previous tenant and no longer lives there.
That is the person on the warrant that they sent a battalion of officers, knowing that isn’t his residence.
Two. On the official police report officers attest that an incendiary device ‘commonly known as a flash bang’ was detonated outside. Now this is just stupid. A flash bang is designed to disorient someone through the noise and light. We’re the officers trying to disorient each other outside the house?
Residue and parts of the incendiary device are inside the house. It is possible that the outside explosion blew them through the closed window where they were found.
An eventual medical check of the infant reveals the presence of particulates commonly inhaled when in close proximity to a deployed ‘flash bang’ in the child’s lungs.
From the device set off OUTSIDE the house with no window open.
Good work Elyria police. You just bought a lifetime of medical care and college tuition by knowingly storming into the wrong house with unnecessary force. Add in the false arrest of the occupant of the house and what’s the payout?
“Fuck it. We have these BOOM things kicking around and we need an excuse to use them.”
@33 A million dollars sounds reasonable. And it’s time to stop funding these payouts with taxes or insurance premiums. They should come out of the police pension fund.

The Republican nominee at 2 am this morning:
“A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MUST HAVE FULL IMMUNITY, WITHOUT WHICH IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM/HER TO PROPERLY FUNCTION. ANY MISTAKE, EVEN IF WELL INTENDED, WOULD BE MET WITH ALMOST CERTAIN INDICTMENT BY THE OPPOSING PARTY AT TERM END. EVEN EVENTS THAT ‘CROSS THE LINE’ MUST FALL UNDER TOTAL IMMUNITY, OR IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD. THERE MUST BE CERTAINTY.”
Totally normal. Very “presidential”.
Here’s the thing: Republicans are now arguing that you cannot prosecute a former president for acts committed while in office unless he/she has first been impeached in the House and then tried and convicted in the Senate.
But… Republicans are also now arguing (as they previously argued for Richard Nixon) that once a president has left office they become a private citizen. And the Constitution gives the Senate no authority to try a private citizen – and doing so violates separation of powers.
So according to this latest formulation to protect criminal rapist Trump, every outgoing president gets a few weeks of The Purge right before inauguration day to just go crazy with rubber gloves, goggles , and a chainsaw.

49,
It should really go without saying that NO other lawyer representing NO other such defendant gets this kind of patient deference and assistance from the court.
I get why these judges are treating these cases and this defendant so differently than the usual shitty treatment facing the accused. But the media are really failing to tell that important part of this story.
Compared to normal order in these courts, these judges are tying themselves in knots to treat this defendant and his larping clown 🤡 lawyers with a level of care and tenderness that is completely unheard of.
Any other trial you pull that shit and the judge immediately interrupts, rules your presentation out of order, informs you that your presentation is now concluded, orders you to be seated, and calls the opposing side to present. Remain standing and say one single word and you get a single warning. Say another word and you’re fined. Get fined and your firm docks you double.
End the Empire before it ends us!
Fuck me.
Habba should be paying Kaplan for the free legal education that she obviously never had. At least a few times this morning she attempted to address the court while seated. At one point she attmepted to enter the well without first obtaining permission. And I’ve counted six times that Kaplan has had to order her to sit the fuck down and stop talking.
Trump ought to be retaining new counsel. But at this point it’s not clear that he can afford it. He isn’t paying Habba. He’s in arears with six other firms and lawyers. He’s being sued for non-payment. He’s facing dissolution of his businesses in New York state. His sources of loans have been frozen and are all now essentially under water. And the campaign grift mill has begun to go dry on him.
He’s going to lose all these cases very badly.
Just like he lost re-election in 2020.
Just like he will lose the election in 2024.
Or not, apparently.

In 2022, a Republican won a Central Florida state house seat by 11 points. He vacated the seat to take over a state college, and last night a Democrat won it by 2 points. That’s a 13-point erosion of GOP support.
The Florida legislature was redistricted, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, and this one was moved east. Most of the special election votes came out of Orange County, and they were sufficiently heavily for the Democrat that he prevailed over the other, GOP-leaning county’s tally.
For the 2022 election the 35th was on the gulf coast of Florida. See the map on the left:
https://ballotpedia.org/Florida_House_of_Representatives_District_35
That’s GOP stronghold territory.
Beginning on election day 2022, the district was moved east – map on the right of that link. Florida’s Atlantic coast is more heavily populated by Democrats, and the district is close enough to the Atlantic coast that it now leans Democrat.
So in a thinly voted election in a distict moved to favor Democrats, your candidate won by a few hundred votes. GLWT in November, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.
Last week HA Legal Eagle Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit opined that he saw nothing wrong with Fani Willis’ misdeeds, in which she hired and then overpaid an unqualified lawyer to prosecute Trump, all while fucking him and enjoying the financial benefits of all of the excess cash she showered on him.

LEGAL
Judge in Trump’s Georgia case orders DA to respond to allegations of impropriety
Dumb cunt’s gonna dumb cunt.
What else can I say?
I’m huffing as much hopium as I can.
It’s called an evidenciary hearing.
When an attorney in a case set for trial files a motion before the court, the court does not just “take their word for it”, and then rule into the void, even if that’s pretty much the way all Republican LAPTOP/SPACE LASER/HUGO CHAVEZ conspiracies work for Republicans.
The judge orders parties to file response and then schedules a hearing to examine evidence and hear testimony. The mere filing of a motion alone does not, and cannot trigger a response (“you’re not the boss of me”). Only the trial judge can order a response. Parties are obligated to respond to the court, not the opposing counsel and their bullshit tantrums. And the scheduling of deadlines for replies and hearings is based on the judge’s discretion and the court calendar. It offers no indication at all about the quality of the motion or the court’s understanding of the motion.
So in other words, not only is this routine, a bunch of it is being handled by the court clerk, not the judge. And the only thing about it that the profoundly stupid trust fund troll ought to have noticed is of course something he was too stupid to notice. That the hearing for Roman’s motion has been scheduled for AFTER the previously scheduled Jan 31 hearing in Cobb County over the unsealing of Wade’s divorce. Get ready for another disappointment, MAGA.

Trump isn’t paying Alina Habba for her representation in a personal matter, but Trump’s campaign and a political action committee are. Isn’t this illegal? Using political donations for personal expenses?
In any case, Habba has collected over $2.5 million in legal fees, with six months of billings still in the pipeline. And online wags are suggesting she use the money to go to law school.

Trump filed his brief in the Colorado case today. Congressional Republicans also filed an amicus brief today. Links to the brief can be found here:
https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/18/politics/14th-amendment-supreme-court-trump-colorado/index.html
Trump is arguing the president isn’t an “officer” for Section 3 purposes. Might as well throw that one out there; it costs nothing to do so. He’s also disputing the Colorado court’s finding that he “engaged in insurrection.”
The amici, led by Ted Crud and Steve Scalise, argue the insurrection ban can’t be enforced without authorization by Congress. Given the makeup of the Supreme Court, this might get traction; SCOTUS could say the Congress that adopted the 14th Amendment enacted legislation to implement it (later repealed), evidencing intent that Congress will decide when and to whom Section 3 applies, and it’s currently inactive and Congress would have to reactivate it before any state can apply it. I’m not saying that’s the right conclusion, I’m only saying it’s an outcome we possibly could see.

Double top secret undercover FBI plant according to that idiot troll of ours.
Before you invest in Tesla stock, you should listen to the customers.
Fwiw, Tesla’s year-to-date stock chart looks like a water slide.
MAGA Death caucus slunk away in abject defeat again tonight.
House Republicans postponed their collective budget suicide until March now.
Lots of histrionics and self-cutting but mostly just another anguished cry for help 😭😭😭
“But the next time I think she really means it”
Jeffries be like: “Fuck that. I’m not talkin’ to her. That bitch crazy. YOU talk to her.”

This is quite the headline, from the noted commies at Business Insider:
@91 “House Republican leadership announced that the chamber would vote on the two-step stopgap bill Thursday afternoon, rather than Friday morning, rushing to the floor as Washington prepares for a Friday snowfall.”

So, normal juror disqualification questions about whether someone may or may not have prejudged a case.
Have you really never been on jury duty?
I once got a sidebar as a potential juror for refusing to answer a question in a product liability case. I told the judge that I worked for a plaintiff lawyer lemon law firm and that were I to answer the question defense council asked I would have said, “I spend 40 hours a week trying to get the well funded army of attorneys representing defendants to respond to simple requests, chasing paperwork. So my natural instinct is the defendants lawyers are kind of, pardon the language scumbags. I don’t want to taint the entire jury pool in the room with my opinion.”
I did not have to serve on that jury. The story I told was partially true. It was a college part time job from over a decade when I brought it up.

An example of questions you would ask a potential jury in:
The Tim McVeigh case, “Do you feel that the Federal Government is brain controlling the people?”
iPhone copyright case, “Do you thing Steve Jobs is the most creative, brilliant inventor of our times?”
The People Vs. OJ Simpson, “Do you have any expertise in foot and hand wear?”
Buffalo Mass Shooting, “DO you feel that White people are generally more trustworthy than Black people?”
“Nikki Haley says she’s been a proponent of congressional term limits ‘for as long as I can remember.’ But she added that she thinks ‘Congress is never going to vote for term limits.'”

Maybe because SCOTUS has already ruled such a law would be unconstitutional? This is right there with Vivek’s proposal to limit voting to citizens age 25 or older: There’s a little thing called the Constitution, also known as “the supreme law of the land,” in the way.

note the date. There is plenty of time for someone to say a few more things.
@98 An Oklahoma extremist’s legislative effort to brand Hispanics, er, he means “undocumenteds,” as “terrorists” isn’t going over well, even with his GOP colleagues.

This is the same guy who introduced a bill to require animal control agents to remove “furries” from schools.
Greyhound as a brand is fast disappearing. Today Greyhound’s parent, FlixMobility handed off Greyhound routes in Oregon to FlixBus operated by MTR Western. Next month, will be all Washington routes except Port Angeles-Seattle. Actually makes sense for Flix to do this, as tgey already partnered with MTR Western to operate in the PNW before they bought Greyhound. The previous situation was how Flix grew to dominate the German market shortly after a long-standing prohibition against Intercity Coach operations was repealed.
Steve Bannon is already calling for MAGA Mike to be beheaded.
And MTG says she will bring a motion to vacate.
And it is still only a Thursday.
@101 Assuming Mike likes his job, wants to keep it, and isn’t eager to be publicly humiliated and driven out of Congress as his predecessor was, worse things can happen to Democrats than Mike needing Democratic votes for political survival.

Hey, while we’re firing college presidents, let’s fire this one! At least Claudine Gay is a professor. This guy has no experience in academia whatsoever. He does, however, have a very loose relationship with truth, objectivity, and critical thinking.

If he wants the job then he knows it comes with strings. He has to buy Democrats votes the same way he bought votes from degenerate pedophiles like Gaetz, Santos, and Boebert.
Only Democrats won’t be bargaining for suspension of ethics investigations like ultra MAGA Republicans. Democrats will be bargaining for Ukraine aid, expanding the child tax credit, student loan forgiveness, and paying for it by eliminating carried interest and stepped up basis.

Ambition and ego are like powerful drugs for some politicians and CEO types. And they can produce powerful delusions.
Just look at Fat Midget.
95,
The judge and the attorneys owed you for that one. Not that many jurors are that astute. And you saved them losing a full day and having to start over with a new pool. Depending on the case, paid witnesses, etc. that’s a lot of money.
After attempting to sell the Mich GOP headquarters out from under them, Mich GOP Chair Kristina Karamo has now removed board members and is suing and seeking injunction against the rest. State party commissioners who oppose Karamo have filed countersuit. And the party hoping to contest President Biden’s re-election in the coming months has only a few thousand dollars remaining in their bank accounts.
