Every time I dealt with people in Banks' close circle, my impression was that group consisted of giant *******s obsessed with flexing.
Like fam, why are you bragging to me about your money and sending me moneyphone pics in a private discussion about buying a social media username or gamertag. Just shut up and pay up.

AOC ended up voting for Pelosi for Speaker.
Good. She's far too early in her career to end it now over something silly just to get some Kale Bros excited.

I don't think he's entirely wrong, intent is tough to deal with in general, especially when the defendant has a lot of supporters and is rich and white.
I'm inclined to agree that Trump seems to actually believe he won the election but I also think delusion doesn't necessarily negate criminal intent.
He may genuinely believe he won the election, but that does not change the fact that he demanded that Raffensperger "finds" a very specific number of votes, just one more than the margin he lost by. I think that's the smoking gun for any genuine criminal intent questions.

Nothing wrong with feeling how you lost. But this is just top tier Sore-Loser ****. To the point where he's mocking our democracy lol

If anything, the delusion argument only makes that 11780 vote demand worse for Trump. If the argument is that he genuinely believes his own claims that he won Georgia by "hundreds of thousands of votes" and/or that Raffensperger is knowingly sitting on evidence that proves many tens of thousands of fraudulent votes, that would also mean he irrefutably knows he's soliciting electoral fraud by demanding just 11780 from Raffensperger, exactly 1 more vote than Biden's margin.

This is really the best smoking gun argument.
But the response would likely be that 11780 is just an arbitrary number to signify that he had the amount of votes to win. And if he really (even wrongfully) believes he's won, it's tough to get that criminal intent. I was a bit shocked that he seemed to actually believe he won on those tapes. I figured, at this point, he was simply dragging this along to get donations for a possible 2024 run.
Based on all that has happened with Trump, I really doubt THIS is going to be the criminal case anyone pursues seriously.

I don't get how people just been smooth accepting this wildly illegal behavior which frankly would sink any other President. Caught on record asking officials to change votes? That's nuts.

I'm past thinking Trump thinks he really won this election. He knows he lost. All this is an attempt to avoid dealing with whatever he thinks is waiting for him without the power of being in the highest office in the world.

Boss: what did you work on while working from home today?
Me: I had many meetings and many phone calls.
Man, what the **** is wrong with these people? All that time is reserved for him to watch fox news.

If he's not locked up, has fled the country, or dead, I wouldn't put it past him.

What do you think "learning" is? There's nothing wrong with shaping and changing ones perception IF the ideas and concepts underlying those changes are sound, observable, and verifiable. Intellectual growth requires the periodic questioning of one's assumptions, beliefs, and truisms.Instead of the mindless circle jerk of curated (((memes))) going on by biased social pages and (((sources))) meant to shape and change your perception - let me post this proposed bill to the senate off an official gov't website.
NY State Assembly Bill 2021-A416
Relates to the removal of cases, contacts and carriers of communicable diseases that are potentially dangerous to the public health.www.nysenate.gov
Anyway...
In other words, this is a bill that would give the governor the legal ability to quarantine contagious people or groups of people to avoid the spread of highly communicable diseases. Furthermore, the same bill includes conditions that restrict the application of quarantine orders to those cases where people have been proven to carry said disease; IOW, the governor needs to prove that those targeted by the order have been contaminated and are able to transmit the disease.
I don't see what's wrong with this considering that there are some people who are adamant about using their freedom to be sick in order to impede on other people's freedom to not be sick.

Messaging is everything.
Nixon didn't have Fox News or NewsMax to feed the masses the "republican perspective" (aka lies) at the time.
