Trump’s New York case will begin in March

A New York judge ruled Thursday that Donald Trump will stand trial in March on charges related to the Stormy Daniels coverup. Assuming the case goes forward as scheduled, Trump will be the first former president ever to be criminally tried. It will also be the first criminal case to slot in place among the complicated judicial calendar Trump is facing in this election year, and it means Trump will almost certainly face a jury before Election Day. In three other jurisdictions—Georgia state court and federal courts in Florida, and Washington, D.C.—Trump has been indicted on charges related to the 2020 elections and his retention of classified documents, but the timetable for those cases remains unclear.

      LOL people totally didn’t get your joke and took you seriously. So very strange.

      In fact, this is a good one. For those who didn’t understand: Trump claimed to win the popular vote in the last two elections, which he didn’t. Another election is coming up…

            If you’re going to assert everyone else was wrong with the obvious reading of the comment and that he was clearly joking you should at least bother to check if you’re right. 🤷‍♂️

              I can read, understand how context works, and have knowledge of events over the past 6 - 8 years. And yes, they misinterpreted him and downvoted, then other people clicked the button without reading it. If you want to tell me that this doesn’t happen, I will believe that you simply have no experience with social media.

              Worse: people have thanked me for explaining it so this really is just a “you” thing.

                I don’t follow how you seeing a MAGA dude making a MAGA comment and making up a story about how he was really joking is somehow a reflection of my inexperience with social media, but alright. 👍

                  Yeah dude you’re on a weird thing here. It was a funny comment. Learn to laugh and stop being so edgy.

                Don’t worry I understood this immediately and totally agree with your interpretation. (As if the ;) wasn’t obvious)

                People just love to drag dissenters on the Internet.

                  It’s because the person I responded to decided that the original comment was MAGA for some reason because of the person’s post history or something that actually has no bearing at all on this thread.
