Unfortunately, if we cannot stop the growing politization of our justice system, court may be where democracy goes to die. A growing number of our courts are much more attuned to politics than wealth these days.

Here is something else disturbing that has come out after the trial. The judge and the lawyer for Ms. Carroll both worked in the same law firm, where he was her mentor. With that personal relationship, an honest judge would have recused himself without being asked and would have revealed it to the other party. Judge Kaplan kept it secret and did not recuse himself. Of course, I also fault the Trump team for not researching the judge and opposing counsel in such a high profile case, where they should have discovered this before trial and made a written motion for his recusal. Still judges would normally do that on their own with such a relationship, but this one did not.

Anybody can file anything. Let me know when you "win" in court. Then we can talk.

The only thing that bothers me about the cult is the inability to accept defeat. Normal people arnt going for this and DJT will lose the election if he is not in jail.

Another violent insurrection will not be tolerated. The Union Army will hold the line

Bobbie, I'll trump your 83 million with 22 articles of impeachment on Fani Willis!

Mike Speciale represented Beaufort County or at least a part of it for several of his terms, so we saw firsthand what sort of legislator he is. Mike was the real deal who walked the walk as a staunch conservative as well as talking the talk, and was a strong voice for the interests and principles of the district. He was approachable by citizens either at his office in Raleigh or in the town halls he held regularly in each county in his district, where constituents were encouraged to ask questions and make comments. He stood his ground in Raleigh on policy and in doing so often moved the needle significantly to the right. While keeping a respectful relationship with the more liberal leadership, he was adept at finding ways to manuever around them to achieve conservative results.

With no conservatives in the senate willing to engage with the leadership as Mike did in the House, Mike is exactly who conservatives need in Raleigh to make a real difference for the whole state, not just for our district but for all conservatives.

His opponent does talk a good game, but does not have the record of action that Mike does. He may talk the talk, but if he got to Raleigh, it would be an open question if he would walk the walk. If Berger is pushing money toward him, that means at least Berger beleives he would not.

We have seen too many politicians talk a good game but then do the opposite like Thom Tillis, or talk a good game and then sit on their hands and do nothing like Mark Robinson. All talk and no "do" gets us nowhere. When we have a sure thing, why take a chance on a "maybe"?

Stan: A celebration of corruption. An apt phrase. When a leftist fanatic sees the stick of corruption welded on his enemies, he is fine with that. It's different if the situation is reversed. A patriot hates the corruption no matter who that power stick is hitting.

Big Bob: Why do you celebrate corruption as if this is a petulant game for non patriot Leftists?

Why do you you have this great affinity for corrupt Democratic Socialist Lawyers and Jurists representing the most corrupt profession, this side of Democratic Socialists Propagandists operating in the Non Patriot Left Media, here in the history of this nation?

How crooked does one's spirit have to be to get to this point?

The only cult member on these boards is Little Bobbie, who is a member of the climate alarmist cult, the biggest doomsday cult in history and a pagan religious cult of Gaia worship. Of course that cult is joined at the hip with the globalist totalitarian movement. Little Bobbie probably does not get that he is a peon in that elitist movement and will never get his invitation to go to Davos. Little Bobbie also has a bad case of TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome. He needs professional help.

I think this is something we can all agree on.

It must be exhausting to continually come up with excuses for the behavior of the orange man-child.

Court - where MAGA goes to die.

Speciale was a taxpayer hero in the legislature, leading successful efforts to trim lots of wasteful spending, including the state subsidies for expensive and unreliable solar and wind energy from the budget. We need him back.

I asked a friend in New Bern if the other guy had done anything for the taxpayers on the New Bern city council and he could not come up with a thing he had done to cut taxes and spending.
