    But it is legal for the Commander in Chief of the U. S. Armed Forces to issue an executive order on an emergency basis to defend the territory and sovereignty of the United States! And, doing so wouldn't violate the War Powers Act either, because the military wouldn't be used to counter aggression of a foreign nation.

    Af the very least, Trump could have worked with the states' governors and activated the state national guard units, but he didn't even do that.

    I'm not referring to the war powers act. I referred to the posse comitatus law. But yes, if the country was suffering an invasion from a foreign power the military would get right to work. No laws requred there.

    It is a fact that Trump is to face what comes to him in these indictments and there will be nothing he can really do about it. That's all there is to it.

    What a surprise give the Dem Propaganda Ministry, aka the MSM, spends more time on that issue that any other by a wide margin. "Tell a lie often enough and the public will believe it".

    Would be difficult to argue there is an emergency when Trump had reduced illegals to historical low levels

    Are you speaking of the reference to Nikki Haley saying that Trump will need to spend way too much time on his legal issues?

    That is a super low number given the number of alleged crimes.. I mean .. if it was just one or two .. some folks think one way on an issue such as sexual harrassment .. others think the other .. but with so many alleged crimes .. surely there would be something for all to hate.. But, apparently not .. less than 2/3rds -- a significant bar .. under the "Tyranny of the Majority" bar ..

    57% is a pretty high number, when you consider that the leading Republican candidate for the presidency calls it all a “witch-hunt”.

    Your conflating all of Trump's suposed crimes together -- some are in the "Witch-hunt" category .. others are not.

    We have this strange situation where you have people like Barr -- who dislikes Trump very much -- has publicly denied his divinity -- and yet will still be voting for him .. and many other voters - including myself - are in the same camp. I dislike Trump very much .. my arguments against him orders of magnitude better than yours - but will still vote red because Blue woke joke is an even worse disaster.

    Polls in the swing states show Trump beating Biden, many by more than the margin of error.

    1. Many voters have stated that they will not vote for Trump if he’s convicted of a felony.
    2. Trump is not a good debater, and will lose support.
    3. Republican ex-presidents won’t be campaigning with Sore Loser Trump, because they hate him. Biden will have Obama and Clinton on the trail.
    4. If celebrities like Taylor Swift endorse Biden like she did in 2020, that could swing the election.
    5. Stock market is skyrocketing.

    The "Russia Russia" witch-hunt --- anything related to that "Collusion with Russia" as if this justified a Special Council .. absurd and excess illegitimacy of authority.

    Then of course anything related to that illegitimate abuse of Power is now stained .. "not really admissible now is it" for example the Hush Money Trial -- a kangaroo 3rd world clown show for the same reason the Clinton trial .. as if somehow how many inches of Cigar was inserted into Monica's oval Orifice was material and relevant to White Water .

    This is the problem with the Special Council -- normal rules of Justice can be violated "However" this violation is supposed to be restricted only to that relevant to the specific issue for which the Special Council was justified .. Full Stop .. as soon as you fall out of scope you are in witch hunt land .. U Understand :)

    LOL. These polls know what's going on already. And, you don't know where in the hell the voters you talk about are even from. It makes no difference if they are in blue states that Biden will win anyway.

    More relevant comparison would be the women Clinton paid to keep their accounts of their affairs with him quiet before the election. And inches of penetration never came up in the Clinton trial. Neither the impeachment or the Jennifer Flowers case.

    Survey wasnt limited to "voters", just adults. Usually polls seeking an accurate picture, at a minimum limit their pool to registered voters, or better yet, likely registered Voters.

    High # of people who will know they were fooled by the media if each and every charge goes away without conviction or conviction reversed in higher court.

    Jan 6th was front and center for the entire world to see - most notably Trump watching on TV for 3-1/2 hours.

    ???? Well, he tweeted for them to "go home in peace" and Twitter took it down. And he isnt charged of any crime for what he did not do for 3 1/2 hours. What charge would that be? Theres lots of good arguments that what he did and did not do wasnt wise, not that it wasnt legal.
