Meanwhile Paul ignores the complete Dumpster Fire that the US is currently engulfed in.

Even some of the talking heads on CNN, none of whom like Trump, were saying the charges in the indictment seemed to be a big stretch by the DA, potentially making it easier to have them dismissed.

They're probably not a public record unless formally signed and implemented.
Here is the "draft" proposed to seize the machines:

I’ll take “Things that were never actually Implemented” for $1000, Alex.
Would be hilarious to see some of the EO’s that Dementia Joe was going to issue before they were “Walked Back”.

I don't find it surprising that idiot Rebekah Jones is claiming that Governor Ron DeSantis ordered her idiot son to be arrested as retaliation against her. I find it surprising (or frightening is probably the right word) that so many people believe her.

The cynical side of me thinks CNN had the article in a queue in case the Bragg charge fell flat.

Thud! And here we are recycling old news stories

Still confused what made the charges move from misdemeanor to felony? Didn’t exactly get a good clarification from Bragg.

What’s weird to is police supposedly did the right thing. Hear something, see something, and then DO something to avoid a potential mass shooting.

Yes, I remain concerned about the country and the impact the former president has on our politics.

Significant Bush accomplishments: Unfunded war, tax cut mostly to help wealthy
Significant Obama accomplishments: Health Care for millions, managing us out of great recession
Significant Trump accomplishments: Impeached twice, childishly didn't attend inauguration, incited Capitol riot/insurrection, tax cut mostly to help wealthy, seriously considered using military to block peaceful transfer of power
Significant Biden accomplishments: Actual infrastructure bill to help ALL Americans, managing us out of pandemic, restoring civility to our political discourse (not screaming like a little child on twitter every hour)

As for TDS....this apparently is TDS: Trump lead for the Republican nomination is 53% to 31% for DeSantis.

That is true derangement.
