It doesn’t take a jury instruction to infer the altered/etc docs are unfavorable to trump. He’s an admitted sexual abuser, found to be so by a jury. Rapist is the colloquial term. Then he’s elected. Now he’s committing crimes against humanity with little to no loss of GOP cult support.

“Personality of an alcoholic.”
Actual assessment:
Personality of an alcoholic 13 year old bully wielding, by whim, the power of the entire US government to attack anyone who speaks the truth.

1/ SCOTUS held only laws similar to the gun restrictions in the late 18th & early 19th centuries are constitutional. And unlike any other constitutional rights, which inevitably conflict with each other, it will not balance gun rights with public safety concerns.

No warning is required. However, one using deadly force must reasonably believe such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm.

In a nutshell, $1 billion given to rebels to overthrow Assad for a number of reasons including his rejection of the building of an oil pipeline that would have served U.S. oil interests & then he’s replaced with the guy below who coincidentally agrees to the pipeline.

Alleged warrantless search, not by NYPD, but by Altoona, PA police. It’s no surprise the defense wants those items excluded - the gun use in the murder, his hit list in his own handwriting, the fake ID he used in NY, $7,000 in cash & a USB. He gave a false name then admitted he lied & was arrested.

I’m guessing she will claim ineffective counsel, both at trial and at sentencing.
But why pro se? Doesn’t trump have a couple law firms in his pocket that promises to litigate issues important to him for free?

“take GOP angst over the bombings seriously, why people inside the chain of command should fear they’re on the hook for illegal acts”
Bullshit. SCOTUS says trump can order killings; he’s immune- with pardon authority. Look at who trump pardons. Admiral Bradley has zero to worry about.
