The Trump-appointed Florida judge in the documents case is part of his defense team. This has been clear from the start, and almost every move she makes is plainly designed to help him. An ongoing travesty. https://joycevance.substack.com/p/mar-a-lago-update

Very vexing to me this general feeling that it would be just too weird to actually take the constitutional seriously, and it's best to find some way to pretend that everything is fine and normal. This is how Trump et al get away with stuff!
Ahh I see! Nice to see even ACB not going along with Trump.
i.e. she hasn't read the 14th Amendment, or what?
122) Some have posited that #Election2024 will be the first #AI #Election
Looks like a certain #Texas based corporation by the name of Life Corporation and its owner Walter Monk can expect to experience some deep law enforecement scrutiny for deceptively impersonating Pres #JoeBiden's voice
Hopefuly this will pursued agressively to dissaude other dirty trick types

There appears to be considerable scepticism. :) I wouldn't be surprised if there was actually some vulnerability allowing this, even from a Bluetooth device, though, IoT being what it is...

Fishy and Ruby have been looking especially judgmental lately. I am simply asking you to support my Patreon so my cats don't think I'm a total failure. I think if I get a few more supporters they might finally begin to see me as only a partial failure.

Here is the appellate court's denial of Trump's claim of immunity:
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.40415/gov.uscourts.cadc.40415.1208593677.0.pdf
The decision opens by summarizing the allegations in the indictment, being careful to add that guilt hasn't yet been determined.
The court then dismisses the idea that they don't have jurisdiction over the issue and concludes that it does.
Then, on to immunity. The court rejects Trump's "separation of powers" argument, saying this:
That's strong language.

5/ Via Scott MacFarlane:
Court: “Former President Trump has become citizen Trump, with all of the defenses of any other criminal defendant. But any executive immunity that may have protected him while he served as President no longer protects him against this prosecution.”
👉🏼Unanimous, emphatic, unequivocal ruling from appeals court👈🏼
[Me: 👆🏼THAT IS WHAT WE NEEDED TO HEAR]
