Assuming that the judge is simply a reasonable judge, it shouldn’t matter whether he ruled against them before. If the new case has merit, he’ll rule in its favor and, if not, then he won’t. (Pretty sure that he won’t.) ---

We know it won’t be viewed favorably but another judge might just knock it down and move on. This judge has shown a willingness to take it punative actions against such pointless litigation. Trump’s next step is probably to sue judge Middlebrooks for being mean to him. ---

Until at some point in the future, Trump is declared a vexatious litigant, and is not allowed to sue anyone without the court’s prior permission. ---

To me, the best part about the note about the mega-donors dumping Trump is that he is 100% going to take it personally. And he never backs down from a challenge (that he can cheat at) - so it increases the chances that if the do line up behind DeSatan, he’ll do everything in his power to drag that piece of crap down as well. To the point that if he is denied the (R) nomination, he’s that much more likely to tell his fans to stay at home or to run independently. Considering the risks in Congress for 2024, I’ll happily watch any infighting I can get from the MAGA/GQP with popcorn a’plenty, and the longer it goes on the better. ---

If the GQP spends the next couple of years dragging each other down and spending all their energy going after Hunter Biden, they won’t have the time or the support to destroy the country (I hope!) Sucks to be Hunter, but it will just be another Benghazi and accomplish nothing. Anything that sets them at each others throats is to be encouraged. ---

But the question I have is whether Biden would pardon Hunter. Hypothetically, let’s say that an investigation into Hunter ends with him being given jail time. Does Joe get involved? Does he pull a Bill Clinton and give Hunter a “midnight pardon?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-perfectly-reasonable-amount-of-schadenfreude-about-things-happening-to-trump-his-enablers-part-1/925537.md?page=384) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-perfectly-reasonable-amount-of-schadenfreude-about-things-happening-to-trump-his-enablers-part-1/925537.md?page=386)
