So she spells the dude's name wrong twice in two different ways and then spells district wrong twice in two different ways. I am sure that won't make her look bad in court or anything...

edit: The amount of "Release the Karen", "Higgs Boson" and "Crack-en" type responses is why Twitter is amazing!

Here another lawyer proofreads it...yikes!

Also, Georgia GOP official she named as plaintiff in the suit says he never agreed to be part of it.
 
Tucker is now a Leftist...that is what you would believe if you read Parler. To them Faux is now CNN...

(this is not hyperbole)

In general I don't believe accepting a pardon is an admission of anything other than "hey, I was convicted and hell yes I'll take a pardon." I can well imagine a person maintaining their innocence, being convicted, being pardoned, and never admitting guilt.

You would be wrong. See Burdick v. United States, 236 U.S. 79 (1915) (holding a pardon carries an imputation of guilt and acceptance carries a confession).

I thought Parler imploded when it gave all its user account info to the universe?

There is some question as to whether that actually happened. Snopes says no, for now. The screenshot that made the rounds was old, and apparently the guy who tweeted it has a history of distributing false info.
 
Hovey is right.

BUT.... there are certain parts of Parler that are protected, ie: an "influencer" program, that to get access to you need to submit your social security number, a photo of your drivers license, and a selfie to confirm that you're who you are. This is to "verify" who you are to Parler so that you cannot be spoofed. Well, I'm sure there are still imitators, but this is supposed to cut down on it. Parler claims that one verified, they delete the data.


And yes, Facebook also has a drivers license requirement but that is only in case of being locked out of your account so they can return access of it to you.

Yeah I don’t know why you’d ever give up your ssn to one of those apps. If Parler hasn’t been hacked yet, it’s just a matter of time.

So they fit right in with the people on Parler?
 
Parler was hacked in July and it is all but assured that they don't have the security to actually prevent any sort of real hack. In truth though there is no reason to even hack it when all you really need to do is sign up and you can get all the info you need. The posters there arent really hiding anything...its the Wild West, its 8chan on steroids and so the people feel free to do and say what they want. Hacking it would be like hacking Twitter...

In 5 years though there is a very good chance it is shut down though and the CEO in jail for computer fraud and larceny. They are definitely going to rip people off for money.

Well, their blog was hacked in July, but that apparently didn’t contain user data, so that’s why snopes shot it down. But yes, it does apparently have nasty security flaws which people have said they’ll reveal shortly.

I was listening to NPR on the way to work and they were discussing pardons. Unfortunately they only touched on the possibility that Trump may choose to pardon himself. My limited understanding of this is that Presidential pardons may only be prohibited in cases of impeachment (please correct me if I'm wrong) and since Trump has already been impeached, he could possibly attempt a self-pardon. If he chooses to do this, my questions to you and your fellow legal scholars are as follows:

1. Who, if anyone, would have standing to bring the case against Trump's act of self-pardoning to the courts?
2. If the case goes to court and found to be unconstitutional/illegal/abuse of power/etc., can Trump's acceptance of an invalid pardon be used as a confession of guilt for prosecution?
 
I am not expert but it would seem to be admissible as proof but he would be able to argue against it. Like when defendants confess to cops and retract it later. Unless the confession was found to be under duress it is usually allowed in and the defendant is able to say "I didn't mean it'.

Most likely though it won't matter...Trump can only pardon federal crimes and his problems are in State Court. (especially NY) He has no standing as President there.
 
The Fat Loser in Chief says if the EC confirms Biden's win he will leave office. Then said our voting infrastructure is akin to a third world country.

The discussion was mainly about federal crimes so that was my focus. IMO, the main concern for Trump and his upcoming legal issues is criminal vs. civil proceedings. The federal ones are seemingly criminal and carry the potential for FPMITA Prison time. I am under the impression that most of the NY investigations are civil rather than criminal (the exception may be the Cyrus Vance investigation since there is not a lot of information that I have seen as to what it does or does not entail). If this is truly the case, all Trump will likely do what he usually does: litigate, litigate, litigate some more and then when he loses, declare bankruptcy rather than pay off.
 
I agree, as slimy as Pence is, all our lives would be safer if Trump ran home to Florida to Tweet away his final few addled years far from the levers of power.
