I don't believe you. I think in a non election year, you would have taken that bill in a heartbeat.
Trump Trial - New York

No not at those capricious numbers. That alone was a nonstarter before even getting into the weeds of unwinding/amending etc. we need to shutdown the border. The numbers already are obscene
You don’t have to. When Biden said he can shutdown the border then do it. The 5,000 8,500 etc were absurd. And again that doesn’t address locking down future admins.
The entire process needs overhauling. And this would just be an impediment to same. And anyone who has handled a disability claim knows that the representations made re adjudicating claims is laughable
My point is that Biden supported the bill for the same reason. His election chances improve if it passes and if it doesn’t, he can say “hey, I tried. Blame those guys.”
Meanwhile, we see from his first 3 years what he thinks about the border.
It’s no less dishonest and partisan than what Trump and the republicans did.
Neither side actually cares about the border except for what they can gain politically from it.
That's fine. I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm disagreeing with the guys who are twisting themselves into knots to pretend their stance isn't purely political.
Not sure it really matters. In fact, it may actually help because if he is up there actually admitting to stealing money then i think it would be more difficult to claim he is lying about the hush money payment and Trump's involvement, which is all the prosecution needed from him.
If he's up there lying under oath in regards to what matters (hush money payment), then why not just go ahead and lie by claiming not to be stealing from the Trump organization?
No one is claiming Cohen isn't dirty but being honest about one's own dirty laundry may not be a bad thing for the prosecution.

Yes, Cohen is dirty and yes, prosecutors rely on dirty witnesses. They often have to. Crooks tend to associate with crooks. That's not the problem. The problem is that the jury just found out today, in the closing days of the trial, that Cohen is a thief. The prosecution should be bringing to light - - - on direct - - the skeletons in a witness's closet and all the bad stuff he's done in connection with the case. You don't want that shit coming out for the first time on cross. It makes the prosecution look shady.
Next, the prosecution's case is built on the idea that, yeah, Cohen's a liar but the key document in the case - - - the one with the hand-written entries and the dollar figures - - speaks for itself. Well, turns out it doesn't because it doesn't reflect the stolen sum. This raises all kinds of questions.
I'm not saying today's development is necessarily a fatal blow. We'll see what the DA does with Cohen on redirect but, make no mistake, this was not a good development. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is a tough burden under the best of circumstances. It just got tougher.
Credibility you don’t parse
[/QUOTE]
we talked about this very same thing before the trial. Both sides have (or would have), the two worst witnesses. Cohen is a bastard and a rotten human who wouldn't know the truth if it bit him in the arse. But, he's now parlayed his lies into social media darling to some. What a joke.

Michael Cohen says he stole from Trump's company as defense presses key hush money trial witness
The landmark trial will kick back off in Manhattan with more defense cross-examination of former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.

That's a serious reach. You don't take an already questionable witness and make him more credible by turning him into a thief.
State had to already know he stole. Cohen is a lawyer to boot. He too should know. That had to be known so they could address same. Otherwise that’s some serious Mickey Mouse shit
He was already a thief. At least he was being honest about it on the stand. Of course, bowl has a point that it would have come off better had the prosecution pro-actively addressed it but I don't think it's some kind of smoking gun that saves Trump. And I think it would be much worse if Cohen tried to lie about it.
Crooks working for crooks isn't exactly shocking.
Cohen also testified that he told the DA about this. It doesn't just raise issues of Cohen's credibility in the eyes of the jury, it raises questions of the prosecutor's credibility. They will wonder, why did the prosecutor try to hide this from us? What else are they hiding?
If he did tell them that, then the prosecutors should have brought that stuff out on direct and controlled the narrative. Bring out the bad stuff on direct, and then get the explainer in to take the sting out of it. Cohen stealing doesn't change the underlying facts, but this was shockingly dogshit lawyering
Nonsense. The jury still might decide it believes Cohen on the Daniels stuff. This hurts the case, it doesn't invalidate it.
Yeah, this looks like really bad incompetence.
Well, it is New York where honesty and the law goes to die.
Exactly. Defalcation? Nah that’s too big of a word. These were tote wages. Tote wages? Right. Toten wages. Walked right out the door with them since trump stiffed me on other shit and made promises he didn’t keep. I shouldn’t have done it but was tired of trump screwing me over.
Bam
To quote some here on this very board - “Whatever it takes”….
That’s @UncleMark and EXACTLY what he did to cray!!!! Whatever it took to kill that handle. SAY HIS NAME!!!!!! @UncleMark
This has always been the weakest of the cases against DJT, and I think it's probably lost, with Cohen being so slimy (yet with some independently verified accusations).
The sandbagging of the more substantial cases (FL documents, Georgia interference, DC insurrection) is most unfortunate, for our country.

You were able to make your first comment without anyone calling you a moron, and then you double down?
The other cases also suck.
