Let the spittle fly!
So, did Santos request that the charges be dropped because, as President, he was acting in an official capacity?
Did he claim Diplomatic Immunity as Premier of The USSR?
Thanks for that. Impressive presentation, suggests a major public statement, which indeed it is. Of course, low-information imbeciles inclined to vote for Trump don’t read The New York Times,
And no one is more unfit to be a justice than those two. They’re committed extremists, plain and simple. “Justice” is the last thing on their minds.
Oh, gosh, I really really hope he doesn’t do that! That would just be terrible for the Dems, and an act of simply amazing political genius, to boot! Please, RNC flunkies, someone talk him out of it, and quick!

Just gonna share this.
I like this idea very much. I would pay a substantial amount of money to see Trump weeping and gasping under the effects of Da Bomb. He’d never do it on his own, but if seeing Harris do it is what convinces him, then bring it on.
Also, I have to wonder how Harris herself would do on Hot Ones. Her mother is from Chennai and made Indian food through Kamala’s childhood; but on her handful of “Cooking with Kamala” youtube vids she tends to favor non-spicy American staples like roast turkey and tuna sandwiches.
Anyway. Let’s enjoy imagining this could happen for real.
This is the guy who reacted to criminal charges against him by saying they should drop the charges, and pay him damages.
It all comes down to the money for him. It’s not a win if you can’t put it in the bank.
What is “Hot Ones”?
It’s a show where people attempt to eat really hot ones (wings):
To expand on the prior answer: the series is kind of hit-and-miss; it really depends on the guest. Sometimes it’s very entertaining to see somebody melting down, unable to handle the heat (e.g. Travis Kelce’s episode is hilarious). Sometimes the guest doesn’t react that much and the episode is kind of a dud (e.g Jenna Ortega). And sometimes the guest is impressively capable of eating very spicy things and is also a fun interview (e.g. Lorde). Each episode is usually around 20 minutes, give or take. It’s worth a look to see if you vibe with it, I’d say.
Back to the scadenfreude, but it struck me yet again that even after getting shot, Trump still can’t keep himself on the front page.
I don’t know exactly what was going on behind the scenes, but you know both Harris and Biden knew exactly what they were doing with the timing of the announcement. They played that whole rats’ nest of sycophants and would-be fascist overlords (plus the NYTimes and some others) like a fiddle with this one.
I figured they were playing 3D chess next to the Repubs playing checkers with missing pieces…
And sometimes they’re insane. Like when Conan O’Brien drank from the hottest sauce bottle at the end of the interview. (He also had an actor pretending to be a doctor checking his vitals during the show.) I don’t think Conan faked it because he did not look okay afterward, the host looked like he wasn’t sure what to do, and Conan has a reputation for doing crazy crap off the cuff for laughs.
Trump won’t do the show unless they agree to let him cover everything in ketchup, so it’s never going to happen.
This seems like the right thread for this joke I just saw from Paul Rudnick:
“If Kamala raises any more money, Melania will marry her.” 
Me likey. 
Oh yeah - the timing was perfect. Let them spend the entire convention smack-talking Biden, then Boom!
I laughed like a loon.
