Official LRC Kamala Harris for President Thread

So Trump just stabbed his evangelicals in the back. He said he opposed the 6 week abortion ban. Most of his support believes in fetal personhood.

He is also promising socialism with IVF govt funding. (IVF is incredibly expensive)

And he announced government mandates that insurance must pay for IVF.

He is desperate at flailing

He believes in growing America, not population control like the bimbo.

None of that has anything to do with jury instructions.

None of that has anything to do with your friend Winston "America caused WWII" Smiff's lies about jury instructions.

None of that has anything to do with the article you linked at Post #10517 on page 526.

You are demonstrating why you have troubles at work, particularly when you are asked questions in meetings. You are unprepared and you meander around and keep raising irrelevancies as if they were important, instead of getting to the fvcking point.

WTF? Sure it is. It's called a criminal conspiracy. People get busted for sh!t other people do on their behalf every day in America.

What "mystery crime"? There's no "mystery crime." This is deja vu all over again. Aren't you the fool who backed off this "mystery crime" bullsh!t in another thread? Or are you a new school fool? Go read the jury instructions, idiot. Do what your fathead buddy Winstin Smiff never did, and read the jury instructions.

And?

You are referring, or trying to refer, to the proffered testimony of Trump's proposed expert witness Brad Smith who was going to testify as to (1) his legal opinions on what various FEC rules, regulations and terms meant and were applied and (2) his personal opinion that Trump was not guilty. Courts in the US rarely, if ever, allow an expert witness to testify on their opinions of the law -- that is what judges are for. Courts in the US would never, as far as I know, allow a NON-factual -- i.e., non-percipient witness who didn't witness any of the relevant events -- to testify as to their opinion on a criminal defendant's ultimate guilt or innocence. That's what juries determine (not to mention such testimony is completely fvcking irrelevant).

You think the prosecution should be allowed to call five FEC witnesses who testify Trump is guilty in their legal opinion? GTFOOH. What case have you ever heard of that lets experts testify like that? Idiot.

Brad Smith had been precluded from providing the same opinion testimony in other cases. This is all bedrock US evidentiary law -- it was not something Judge Merchan and the prosecution made up on the fly just to fvck with you MAG@ guys. None of it should be a surprise to you, if you had followed the trial as you claim to have. All briefed and argued.

By the way, the judge was going to allow Brad Smith to testify about what the FEC believed terms like "expenditure" and "contribution" meant, as long as the prosecution could bring in a FEC guy too. Trump, not Judge Merchan, chose not to have Brad Smith testify.

You have your spin backwards and wrong. He allowed the jury to consider the FACTUAL evidence provided by the prosecution and by the defense and make up their minds as to whether, for example, paying a hooker $130,000 is an illegal campaign contribution to a presidential campaign when the candidate wants the hooker quiet until after the election. Sure seems like one. Normal people could understand why a jury would think that is an illegal campaign contribution.

What you are trying to say is that Judge Merchan should have granted Trump's motion for dismissal before the case got to a jury. I don't have the bandwidth to explain how stupid that is given all the incriminating evidence in the case. If Merchan had granted that defense motion, it would have been quicky reversed on appeal. In America, we almost always let juries decide guilt or innocence, seldom do we let judges do that.

I never said it was a crime. The prosecution never said it was a crime. The judge never said it was a crime.

I never said it was a crime. The prosecution never said it was a crime. The judge never said it was a crime.

I never said it was a crime. The prosecution never said it was a crime. The judge never said it was a crime.

Falsifying business records is a crime, though. False tax documents are false. An invoice for a hooker payoff called a legal expense is a phony invoice. Checks and payments for hooker payoffs labeled legal expenses are fake, false and phony. That's a crime in New York.

"elevate" is a mischaracterization. NY Penal Law 175.10 sets forth the requirements of a felony charge of Falsifying Business Record in the First Degree: "A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree, and when his intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof."

There's no "elevate" about it. If you do NY Penal Law 175.10, it is a felony.

This story of violating laws regarding honoring the sanctity of our Service Members, their remains, and their families wishes apparently has legs and is turning into a very big deal.

I just heard a NPR story on it:

"Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington National Cemetery"

npr.org

Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington National Cemetery

The cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried, a source with knowledge of the incident told NPR.

as Kamala continues to gain momentum the Trump campaign is stuck in reverse.

it's looking like a slaughter. not even the most optimistic Democrat dreamed that things would work out like this.

Who do you think they'll vote for then? The person who doesn't care about abortion or the party of "shout your 30 week abortion"?

Trump supporters think NPR is a left wing propaganda outlet. Meanwhile they will quote the Daily Caller as the gospel.

Normal people understand that breaking the rules at Arlington and getting rebuked by the Army is getting pretty low. Nothing says "stolen valor" like a guy who paid his way to draft dodge trying to use the sacrifice of those who served and died for his own political gain and literally walking on their graves while doing it.

Maybe they stay home like Trump says they prefer to do.

As a swing state woman, I'll proudly be voting for Trump this November.

Numbers Don’t Lie: Women Thrived Under Trump, Suffered Under Harris

I just saw Comrade Kamala Harris’ answer to a very weakly-phrased question, a question that was put in more as a matter of defense than curiosity, but her answer rambled incoherently, and declared her “values haven’t changed.” On that I agree, her values haven’t changed - The Border is going to remain open, not closed, there will be Free Healthcare for Illegal Aliens, Sanctuary Cities, No Cash Bail, Gun Confiscation, Zero Fracking, a Ban on Gasoline-Powered Cars, Private Healthcare will be abolished, a 70-80% tax rate will be put in place, and she will Defund the Police. America will become a WASTELAND!

Vance does that too. The whole man pretending to be a woman bit that you are doing.

Pitching my sitcom where Trump loses big in election along with Kari Lake who then buys a used RV and the two of them travel the country performing as a spoken word duo at QAnon meet-ups at KOA campgrounds. Trump eats mostly beans and Kari chooses to sleep outside. RFKJr shows up and wants in on the act and tries to pay off some bikers for some black market steroids with Raccoon pelts that he has collected along the highways. They all get super hungry and come across a Dairy Queen that JD Vance is working at who waves and promises free food but they all agree ‘f*ck that guy’ so they dumpster dive behind a Winn Dixie instead and when Bobby gets in ‘hey, there’s some great vegetables in here, you guys niacin deficient..?’ at which point Donnie & Kari share a glance and sneak away and start the RV leaving RFK Jr in the dust. Next week’s episode: they run into Mike Johnson at a ‘Christians Only’ gym called Bible Body Core or BBC for short. Pence is a regular.

I'll be there!

Written by a senior advisor to Trump. That’s not news it’s a political ad.

He should concentrate more on getting his man out of the mud and less on trash talking Kamala cause that strategy obviously isn’t working.

Put down the crackpipe.

One of his personal Trumper goons, who IS NOT a secret service agent, who is large male (well over 6' and a body builder) violently shoved an Army female who was in charge of controlling the event. She told they were required to follow the rules they agreed to ... NO PHOTOS, NO CAMERAS, NO VIDEOS ... which Trump ignored. There was on M!AGA family there (woman is a red dress no less ... staged by Trump ... who the F!!!! wears red to a funeral!). That family gladly posed for illegal photos with the Orange Turd. Other families there had the burials for their service members violated. Those families DID NOT want the Turd there. Trump had his goons photograph the headstones (which is NOT allowed) not just of the Trumper family, but other headstones as well. Trump then of course posted the photos on the internet.

There will be another lawsuit against Trump. The Red Dress family won't be part of it. The other families will.
