15. And worst of all, it's not affecting Needy Amin's poll numbers

May 2024

Once convicted, that might change - but probably not by much.

Ultimately, of course, the economy will be the deciding factor - and there's no shortage of miscreants who are in a position to sabotage that in some way.

Putin (will he go nuclear?); Bibi (will he stage a false flag in some embassy?); Big Awl (will they push up gas prices for no reason, like they did in 2000?); Wall Street (will they go short - knowing that could derail Biden, while making a bundle anyway?).

I think it's a coin toss that he gets acquitted Prairie Gates May 2024 #2

No it isn't. He does not get acquitted. Hung jury is his best possibility NoRethugFriends May 2024 #12

A hung jury would be a massive victory for him. whopis01 May 2024 #23
