Can he be indicted?

Blumenthal says, "Yes he can".

"Blumenthal told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that if the President were to be indicted, it could go to the United States Supreme Court.
"It's an issue that has never been resolved, and that way there is a Department of Justice opinion to the contrary," Blumenthal said. "I happen to think that he could be indicted even if the trial is postponed. "

*Earlier Lawrence Tribe told MSNBC that he thinks Mueller should indict him and seal it until 2020 or 2024 so that way he can get a trial and possible go to jail for his crimes.

I just saw my first Facebook ad on CNN.

They were saying how they are now safer, not as much click bait, etc. I never used Fakebook so I don't know if anyone has noticed any changes since Cam Anaytica was ousted or not. Has anyone here noticed?

CA assisted death law was overturned in court.

AG Becerra is going to file an appeal. Gov Brown signed it into law 2 years ago.

"A judge in Riverside County on Tuesday overturned California's controversial assisted death law nearly two years after it took effect, ruling that the Legislature improperly passed the measure during a special session on health care funding.

The court is holding its judgment for five days, according to representatives for supporters and opponents of the law, to give Attorney General Xavier Becerra time to file an emergency appeal."

Would there have been as many wars if

there was never any religion on the planet? I am sure greed and the need for shelter and food would have caused a lot of death and destruction, but if you removed religion as a factor that influences humans, would there have been fewer battles?

Putin will be Russia's leader for life.

He will never give up his desire to be the leader of the world. He is already the richest man in the world and that will be used to buy the rest of the corrupt people. What can other countries do to stop this? Greed and power is the driving force and always has been.

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
