    Seriously, who is interested in him? I think that we can definitely conclude that all presidential votes will be, quite simply, votes against Trump.
    Further, I sayeth not.
    Every post you make is further proof that you don't know what you're talking about.

    I'd be more concerned about the guy who's running for President in order escape multiple prison sentences, instead of who sells the most books. 😏

    Maybe the same people who ate Michael Rockefeller ate Biden’s uncle. 🤔

    We are down to 3 full pages of clans. I believe that is around 50 to 60 clans, actually less if we don't count one player clans. We use to have 120 to 180 clans I believe.
    Leaders are not playing matches, and not just with my team or Metallica, they are just sitting silent and if they do play, they argue over a 2 player vs a 3 player match as if that would have any impact a ...[text shortened]... nd clans. It's really a shame.

    All my best to everyone regardless of the situation.

    People have come to recognise that there is not a level playing field and that certain 'tactics' skew the results. Change the framework to establish a level playing field, stop employing said 'tactics', and that might attract people back to the clan system.

    Man kills himself by setting himself on fire outside of Trump trial … and throws conspiracy leaflets into the air while doing it.

    One less Trump supporting loon I suppose.

    Any of you guys here thinking of dying for your Fat Orange Jesus?

    You libs should be aware that we put you in the category of these people/students Who want America to die, while all the while, taking all that America has to offer, mainly free stuff. Then they are so bold as to say death to America, but pay our tuition loans off, so that we can get rich in America?
    Personally, I think that you are all of that bent. But we are all ...[text shortened]... uld protect the rights of those people. Protest is one thing, but saying that America should die……..
    What is secession if not 'Death to America'?

    "The Texas Independence Referendum Act (HB 3596), commonly shortened to TEXIT, was a failed Texas state legislation which, if passed, would have called for a state referendum on the secession of Texas from the United States. While prior versions of the legislation have been introduced under similar titles, this most recent version was introduced by state representative Bryan Slaton on March 6, 2023. The bill failed to get out of committee before the end of the regular session."

    So it is pretty rich, you complaining about some guy in a crowd in Michigan yelling something in Arabic when TEXAS LEGISLATORS are proposing 'Death to America' bills!

    I'm going to ignore posts from people who can't grasp what I just wrote and the excerpts from the Court's ruling.

    Nothing remotely in my post says Trump isn't charged with a felony in NY. In fact, he is charged with 34 counts of one: NY Penal Law § 175.10.

    Thanks. I await with baited breath further updates in the case.

    I, AvJoe, deleted something I mistyped. Let me now file my own Issues of the NY Trial. Then all of us are free to choose. You libs have not yet taken our freedom yet, I hope. Read this, and then read Maruder's Link-style post again.

    https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-hush-money-trial-frankenstein-case-zapped-life-turley
    From your link:

    "And to this day, there's some confusion as to Bragg's actual theory as to what was the exact crime that Trump was hiding from all of this."

    Only if you have failed to read Judge Merchan's decision of February 15, 2015 that I have already cited. One would think that even a Fox News, Trump mouthpiece like Jonathan Turley would have at least done that.

    Opening statements Monday. Jury selection went pretty smoothly considering the notoriety of the case.
    It's less the case that's "notorious" (falsifying business records isn't all that uncommon), it's more the defendant. It's hard for Trump to accept that, as far as the court is concerned, he's not a former president and not the presumptive front runner for the presidency either -- he's John Doe, just plain John Doe.

    Am I correct that this being a criminal case and not a civil one, the rules of evidence are tighter (i.e., tougher to get a conviction)?

    May cool and level heads prevail.

    With my every post, I have this underlying '"How can these people stand behind Joe Biden for 4 more years, where they fully know that the WH is run 90% by people in their 20s, with big plans to socialize the United States of America."" That would be all of our left posters; They fallow the mantra of Kamala Harris. ".....just as long as, at the end of the day, we all end up in the same place'.

    Should not one strive to have their own place?
    Why don't you make your "own place" in a thread where such drivel is actually on-topic?

    There. We've condemned everything bad you can think of including pedophila, misogyny, putting trash in the recycle bin, and cruising in the passing lane.

    So you can't use that one anymore, AverageJoe!

    The rules of evidence are basically the same with some exceptions, most notably in what a defendant can be questioned about if he takes the stand (no matter what he says, Trump won't).

    The standard for a conviction is, of course, higher than that for a finding of civil liability being "beyond a reasonable doubt" rather than a "preponderance of evidence".

    Vespin's only whingeing because he thought by sandbagging 150 points from challenges effectively completed in 2023 he'd be home clear by the end of Jan 😉

    It's no fun is it @Vespin when for 11 months of the year your playing for nothing ..... and you can be certain by Feb 2025 I'll be one step ahead of you again 🍾
    The clan system will get worse.
    The reasons haven't changed.
    Clan leaders find it too much work to find challenges but the main problem is the clan net points list.
    Until the focus changes,the number of active clans will decrease.
    I've suggested ways to alter things but nothing happens.
