Why Not?
The Highest Court in America has it’s judges bending over backwards to decriminize the actions of a ex-President who LOST a Election and tried to steal it back….
And HAS ALREADY been charged with 88 criminal charges State and Federal wide…..
Refuckingmarkable!?
Rarely has there been a day that underscored that aspect of his being as much as Thursday. Both the justices on the Supreme Court and the jurors in the Manhattan courtroom were confronted with the alleged misdeeds of the former president. Nothing about either matter cast Trump positively. And yet it is not knowable today whether these proceedings will help or hurt his chances of being elected president again in November….
…
The Supreme Court, under nine different justices, ruled in 1982 that Richard M. Nixon was immune from civil prosecution, based on a suit filed years earlier by a fired government official. But no president ever did what Trump has done, and no former president has ever been charged with as many felonies. And so the court, which is now made up of three justices nominated by Trump, will have to answer a question that has gone unanswered for nearly 250 years….
…
The conventional presumption is that, for a political candidate, no good can come from being criminally charged and forced to go through a trial in the middle of a campaign. Yet the four indictments returned against Trump did the opposite during the Republican primaries. His support solidified in the wake of the charges and he easily dispatched his Republican rivals, though pockets of resistance continue to appear in state after state.
Until the Manhattan trial began, Trump had the freedom to campaign mostly as he pleased, with occasional appearances at court hearings. He used those moments to his advantage, and regularly denounced the judicial system as weaponized against him.
Now that the Manhattan trial is underway, he no longer has the freedom. Trump has lashed out repeatedly as he has emerged from court over the past week, risking being charged with contempt for violating the terms of a gag order. His petulance is on display daily. Will it hurt him? Not everyone thinks it will….

You can count SD Gov.Kristi Noem out as a Trump VP candidate.
Apparently, Noem has admitted to killing a puppy that she described as “ worthless” and a disgusting goat.
Now she could probably get away with killing the goat Goat lovers are not a particularly well known voting bloc but dogs?
Now that’s different.
Dog people constitute a significant part of Americas population.Indeed many of them are much more enamored of dogs than they are humans.So Noems admission probably finishes her chances of being on Trumps ticket.
Noem apparently conceded that it probably wasn’t a good political move to make what she did public.
No it wasn’t Kristi.Indeed, you may have just ended your political career.

I don’t think there are too many women that Trump would want as a VP…
Heck a Trump VP would have to be careful of him hitting on them…..
CG says
Trump hates dogs. This will greatly enhance her chances of being picked.
CG says
They will bring up Biden’s vicious dogs in the White House and make an analogy about how he doesn’t have the courage to do what needs to be done.
jamesb says
Shooting a puppy ain’t cool….
And yup
Biden’s dog should Not be nipping Secret Service agents…

While I don’t know the law in SD .in many states, including SC ,killing a dog is a crime.

Only one thing to say about Kristi then….
“ Lock Her Up!!!”
Keith says
She’s a totally flawed individual, so of course Trump will pick her.
jamesb says
The story has done a 180 on what she thought it would….
Scott P says
Noem is as stupid as she is cruel.
Poor Donnie. All the pretty girls he wants as his VP have major flaws.
