In fact, it isn't and can't get AS stupid as this:

Oh, I might as well also add here that subsequent Dem presidents eventually pulled us out of those ridiculous Repub Wars while the Repub so-called presidents did not have the balls or the patriotism to assume the political risk of actually doing it rather than just flapping their yap for years and years about someday doing it like the Repubs did.

Jury selection is underway now complete in the case of The People of the State of New York vs. Donald J. Trump, which alleges that the defendant lied to his own check register, and lied to the general ledger of his own company, when the invoice given to him by his lawyer was paid and recorded by someone else, and that the misstatement he made to himself in his own records was done "with the intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof. "

Man, maybe he should just be executed.
That local prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, is a member of the Democratic Party and the voters who elected Bragg and from whom the jury will be chosen support the Democratic Party. In 2016, the people of New York County voted 87% for Hillary Clinton and 10% for Donald Trump, and in 2020,87% for Joe Biden and 12% for Donald Trump. In other words, the jury pool is chosen from one of the most partisan jurisdictions in the country a place where almost all the judges are Democrats as well.
So the Democratic prosecutor elected in the second most Democratic county in the United States will try the former Republican president and current putative Republican Party presidential nominee before a Democrat-appointed judge and a jury drawn from a pool 87% of whom voted against him (and who are being asked if they watch Fox News or listen to talk radio in the screening process).
In other words, this is what Democrats think is fair.
Moreover, New York's statute of limitations requires that misdemeanor prosecutions be commenced within two years of the commission of the act, meaning that under the last provision, this case should never have been filed.
Gee, and you wonder why this case was filed.
For example, why does the entry in the check register or the general ledger matter at all? When would those entries, as opposed to the allegedly false invoices, be shown to anyone for any nefarious purpose? And were the entries even false? Was there any intent to fool someone to obtain something in making the entries who was the target of the allegedly false entry in private books and records? If there's no mark, no victim, then how could there be an "intent to defraud"? Defraud whom? And what is the other crime that the person making the book entry intended to commit or hide? If the other crime is not a New York crime but a federal crime, does every county prosecutor in the United States, including Alvin Bragg, have the jurisdiction to enforce an alleged federal crime indirectly through a state crime?
The answer is the New York legal system where all is fair if you are a Democrat going after a Republican.
And how about Trump's right under the 6th amendment:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Speedy trial? Impartial jury? LOL.

Two major Democratic clients of the daughter of the judge overseeing Donald Trump's hush-money trial have raised at least $93 million in campaign donations and used the case in their solicitation emails raising renewed concerns that the jurist has a major conflict of interest.
The judge's daughter, Loren Merchan, is president of Authentic Campaigns, a Chicago-based progressive political consulting firm whose top clients include Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who was the lead prosecutor in Trump's first impeachment trial, and the Senate Majority PAC, a major party fundraiser.
"Authentic Campaigns, and thus the judge's daughter, is actively making money from this sham attack against President Trump, rendering Judge Merchan conflicted out," Trump spokesman Steven Cheung told The Post, adding that evidence of bias is even clearer now than it was in August when Merchan rejected Trump's first recusal motion.
And we have the infamous words of "only 10 million illegals" rule of law soy boy saying how much Democrats were after truth, and they do not like being lied to and have so much integrity. So this judge, who has an obvious conflict of interest, recused himself from the case right?
Nah, he shoved a gag order down Trump's throat.
So here we go again. While Democrats are going to be cackling and giving themselves high fives for finding Trump guilty in this blatantly stupid and rigged case, your average American is going to see how fucking stupid this case really is and get that once again, Democrats want to cheat and win an election in a court room and not at the ballot box.
I have a feeling this trial is going to push Trump's numbers into the stratosphere.

LOL. In which case it would have been a clean sweep for the Democratic candidate in every presidential election since and including 1992, thirty-two years ago, allowing for the fact that the only Repub to win slightly more votes than the Dem since then, in 2012, would never have been there to run as a Repub-initiated counterproductive quagmire Wartime Incumbent president had it not been for him already being an undemocratically appointed so-called president in 2000 by a handful of equally undemocratically appointed Supreme Court Justices and Electoral College members.

Among the 25 counties with the greatest concentrations of households earning more than six figures, President-elect Joe Biden won 16 two more than 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

This witch admits this case is not about the law. She says she is not a fan and talks about abortion, Covid, and Trump's policies. The one thing she does not mention is what Trump was accused of. She openly admits that which everyone knows. This is not about breaking the law. It is about rigging an election, and she hates Trump so much she does not even get how fucking selfish she is that she as a juror thinks she can choose who should be president more than the voters.
At this point, they should not even have a trial. The more honest thing to do is just find Trump guilty because New Yorkers do not like him. There has not been one speck of testimony but does there need to be? Anyone with a brain knows this jury will find Trump guilty.
And THIS is why Trump will win. Unlike you Soy Boy, a guy who supports people illegally crossing the border and stabs his own sex in the back, real Americans believe that voters and not Democratic juries and Democratic prosecutors should be picking who is president. That is why whenever Trump gets charges brought against him he goes up in the polls. The rigging of the 2020 election was done in secret. Shit, the rigging of the 2024 election is completely out in the open now.
But all you care about is your government check.

Just goes to show who's really bankrupting the country, while hiding behind the "theatrical media hysteria" on immigration from the right-wing Repub propaganda media apparatus over at likes of FOXY News and NewsMax.

If I'm not mistaken, Trump was found guilty and ordered to pay $355 million in tax fraud, for such fraudulent claims.
Yeah, attending Trump University would about sum up your nonsensical example, w/r to the numbers you're pulling outta your ass on immigration! (...kkkk!)
Meanwhile the billionaires have you and your FOXY Muse gullible minions, doing their biding, as Trump Tax cuts benefit the top 1%, while paying very little to nothing in federal taxes.

- Repub Chip Roy (R-TX), as it's abundantly clear, that the border problems and failure, were ALL due to TRUMP!
- The CBPs estimated at-the-border apprehension rate averaged 78%, from 2018 to 2020, compared to 35% from 2002 to 2004.
- The beloved drafted bipartisan border security bill by the Senate and Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), that solves most everything Repubs want.
- The numerous election wins in 2022, 2023 and 2024, Democrats have demolished Repubs in elections, special elections and primaries, on primarily the number one issue that front and center for most Americans abortion, abortion bans, women's health and reproductive rights to choose.
Hint: If Repubs, want to win the presidential election race in 2024, they may want to take off the blinders on those women issues.

"What we present below is a substantial body of circumstantial evidence that supports the plausibility of such a scenario, the executive summary of Rubios report states about the lab leak theory, making clear the findings do not offer a definitive answer to the origins question.
Specifically, Rubios new report highlights evidence that Chinese government officials and relevant figures in the scientific community possessed some level of awareness of an outbreak of infectious disease well before that information was disclosed publicly on December 31, 2019.
It also notes that the congressional investigation unearthed information that further suggests there was some kind of serious biocontainment failure or accident at the state-run Wuhan Institute of Virology during the second half of 2019.
As Donald Trump himself acknowledged in a March 2020 recorded interview with Bob Woodward.
Which would have saved millions of lives and averted the business, school and travel industry closures, the global supply-chain destruction, worldwide economic collapse and the inevitable hyper-inflation that followed.
Essentially every historic destruction and disaster that Trump had been warned for about a year prior would likely occur if he insisted on going forward with his planned typically Repub economic and national security policies and stewardship in that regard.

Again and as usual, the only real threat to any of those truly significant Biden / Dem accomplishnents for keeping America the greatest and most Economically successful country on Earth with the most powerful and effective National Security is The Republican Party, the Pink Tinkle Repub Majority in the House, the Repubs in the Senate, the Repub Majority in the Supreme Court and, of course, their America-hating cult leader Donald Trump. Not border-crossing asylum-seekers.

Nor are "alternative facts" How many hundreds of millions did Fox News pay to settle the Dominion Voting machine lawsuit? More lawsuits are pending. How about a "guesstimate" of how many undocumented immigrants that work, own businesses and pay taxes vs oligarchs that pay no taxes?

So I think it's safe to say, at FOXY Muse, neither they nor their "gullible" loyal watchers, care much for integrity, much less deliver a certain level of professionalism, commensurate with that expected from one of journalistic integrity.
