    If more Repubs had some backbone like Kemp the GOP might return to being a party with a platform and an actual plan for the future.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Kemp fan boy, & I'm not turning Repub :eek:.

    Unfortunately, they've become insular...it's their way or the highway...any means for the party...and raging at the Federal govt, Dems or anyone not on "the team".
    You're not going to see them become more civilized all of a sudden.
    They're going to double down on their slippery slope.

    The only way they'll learn is to lose a LOT and get out of power a long time (kind of like FDR times)
    There's an underlying festering push to get their agenda in and locked down, using every trick in the book.

    T only represents their anger and rage. A Tasmanian devil tearing up the federal government and the "libs".
    And the Dems and opposition aren't hitting hard or fast enough...haven't for a long time.

    It's going to be a long painful remission of this cancer.
    Even slower than the justice system. :rolleyes:

    I think these cases are now going to linger on forever. Suppose the remaining 17 defendants get broken down into five trials, plus the Powell & Cheseboro trial.

    How long would each trial take?
    How many motions would be filed in each trial?
    How many re-trials would be needed?
    How many appeals would filed?
    Etc, ad nauseum.

    Judge delays trial for Trump, others in Georgia 2020 election prosecution

    OTOH I think McAfee makes some very good points to justify his decision. I've often wondered the logistics of a 19 defendant trial, esp involving the SS and additional security because of NPD Trump.

    Damned if you do,
    damned if you don't.

    I don't think the prosecutor has any intention of trying 19 defendants.
    She's angling for a dozen or so to take plea deals and become witnesses for the prosecution to nail those at the top of the stinking heap (ie Trump**).

    She's getting a slap on the wrist, but as you stated this should be big. Hopefully Powell will tie NPD Trump directly to knowingly trying to steal the GA votes in 2020.

    It's a beautiful deal, a perfect deal. :p

    Many people are saying it’s the best deal they have ever seen.
    People stop me in the street, tears in their eyes and say “Sir that’s the best deal we have ever seen”.:D

    Lawyer Kenneth Chesebro pleads guilty over efforts to overturn Trump’s 2020 loss in Georgia

    And yet another one... :D
    I hope this becomes a cascade of more...and then they all testify against Chump.

    Frankly, I want it to be T, Giuliani and Eastman to get hit.
    they're the main instigators and top dogs.

    If Powell got such a sweet deal, then some of the more minor players don't have as much penalty to worry about.
    I think worst case, is after the fact consequences, like losing their bar or lawyers licenses in Georgia or other states that take issue.
