Judge Mulls Tossing Trump's Felony Conviction in N.Y.
https://www.newsmax.com/us/judge-juan-merchan-felony/2024/11/07/id/1187134/
The Manhattan judge who presided over the business records trial that resulted in the conviction of President-elect Donald Trump on 34 felony counts will rule by next week about whether to toss the conviction, CNN reported.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has given himself a deadline of Nov. 12 to set aside or let stand the conviction in the aftermath of Trump winning the election and the Supreme Court's ruling over the summer on presidential immunity, according to the report.
Merchan twice delayed sentencing in the case until after the election. If Merchan rules to let the conviction stand, Trump is scheduled for sentencing Nov. 26. Trump faces up to four years in prison. If that is Merchan's ruling, Trump's legal team is prepared to pounce, according to CNN.
"I'm told that his legal team is going to try to make sure that sentencing never happens," CNN’s Paula Reid reported. "Here they're going to argue to the judge that the sentencing should never happen because, now that Trump is president-elect, they will say that he is entitled to the same constitutional protections as a sitting president and should be protected from state actors."
A New York jury in May found Trump guilty for a business record violation tied to 2017 payments to a lawyer that he called legal expenses.
Even if Merchan lets the conviction stand, legal experts have agreed Trump would not face prison time, election winner or not.
"Merchan doesn't have the stomach to imprison a former president or president-elect," former prosecutor Neama Rahmani told the New York Post. "Now that Trump has won, his criminal problems go away."
10th amendment lets the states decide how many times they can send a rep.
Feds can't do that because of state's rights (10 amendments).
It would need a COS to change the Bill of Rights in this manner.
Judge Rules Against Biden Program for Immigrant Spouses
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/judge-texas-biden/2024/11/07/id/1187204/
A judge in Texas on Thursday ruled against President Joe Biden's program offering a path to citizenship for certain immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens, a blow that could keep the program blocked through Biden's final months in office.
U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker found the program, which offers a path to citizenship to around 500,000 immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally if they are married to U.S. citizens, exceeded Biden's executive authority.
The initiative, known as Keeping Families Together, launched in August but was blocked days later by Barker, who left it frozen while he considered a legal challenge brought by Texas and a coalition of U.S. states with Republican attorneys general.
Biden, a Democrat, announced the program in June before dropping out of the presidential race and paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to face Republican Donald Trump, an immigration hardliner.
Trump defeated Harris in Tuesday's election and is expected to launch a wide-ranging immigration crackdown that would likely include rolling back Biden's initiative for immigrant spouses, which the Trump campaign called a "mass amnesty" that would encourage illegal immigration. Americans see immigration as the most pressing issue for Trump to address when he takes office in January, and a large majority believe he will order mass deportations of people living in the U.S. illegally, a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Thursday found.
The Biden administration could appeal Thursday's court ruling. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
You got it.
Elon Musk's Trans Daughter Doesn't See 'My Future Being in the US'
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/musk-daughter-future/2024/11/07/id/1187183/
Elon Musk’s estranged transgender daughter says she doesn’t see a future for herself in the U.S. following Donald Trump’s win over Kamala Harris in the presidential election.
“I’ve thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me. I don’t see my future being in the United States,” Wilson wrote on Threads Wednesday after Trump’s win.
“Even if he’s only in office for 4 years, even if the anti-trans regulations magically don’t happen, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon.”
Wilson also criticized her father and other former family members who supported Trump.
“Watching the grown members of my ex-‘family’ in the media/twitter-sphere recently makes me glad that I didn’t develop my genetic pre-disposition of apparently not having a f–king spine. That’s all✨,” Wilson wrote via Threads on Thursday morning.
Musk in July said he was deceived into allowing Wilson’s reassignment, stating she was “killed by the woke-mind virus.”
“I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier,” the billionaire, 53, told psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson in a Daily Wire interview.
“This is before I had any understanding of what was going on. COVID was going on, so there was a lot of confusion, and I was told Xavier might commit suicide if he doesn’t [make the change].”
Musk is the father of 12 children.
Some Migrants Abandon Caravan After Trump Wins
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/migrants-donald-trump-caravan/2024/11/07/id/1187175/
Some migrants headed to the U.S. are abandoning a caravan after President-elect Donald Trump's victory on Tuesday.
News of Vice President Kamala Harris' defeat has forced some to rethink their efforts after a migrant caravan of 3,000 people launched in Mexico this week with asylum seekers from several countries represented.
A spokesperson for Chiapas state security said some families chose to return to the Guatemalan border town of Tapachula.
Felipe, a Cuban migrant, spoke to Newsweek and lamented the victory by Trump.
"This is the end of my dream of getting out of Cuba," Felipe said.
Trump has long positioned himself as a border hawk and has promised he will conduct a mass deportation of illegal immigration if he was elected to a second terms in the White House.
"We're going to have the largest deportation in the history of our country," Trump said in September during a speech in Los Angeles. "And we're going to start with Springfield and Aurora, [Colorado]."
Many migrants communicate on Telegram and other social media apps to get updates about any changes in the U.S. immigration system. Some were dismayed that Trump received 46% of the Latino vote.
"They forgot about when they were on the other side," said Mahily Paz, a Venezuelan migrant.
Abel, a young man from Ecuador, said he hoped to access the U.S. asylum program.
Some migrants hope to make an appointment in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's CBP One app before Trump takes office in January. Jennifer, a migrant from Venezuela told Reuters she remained optimistic.
"With God's favor, I'll get that appointment," she said.
Trump: No Price Tag on Mass Deportation Plan
https://www.newsmax.com/politics/donald-trump-deportation-immigration/2024/11/07/id/1187192/
President-elect Donald Trump said there's no "price tag" when it comes to his mass deportation proposal.
"We obviously have to make the border strong and powerful and, and we have to — at the same time, we want people to come into our country," he told NBC News on Thursday. "And you know, I'm not somebody that says, 'No, you can't come in.' We want people to come in."
Asked about the cost, he told the news outlet: "It's not a question of a price tag. It's not — really, we have no choice. When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries, and now, they're going to go back to those countries because they're not staying here. There is no price tag."
Trump, who handily beat Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election Tuesday, is expected to mobilize agencies across the U.S. government to help him deport record numbers of immigrants, building on efforts in his first term to tap all available resources and pressure so-called "sanctuary" jurisdictions to cooperate, according to six former Trump officials and allies.
Trump backers — including some who could enter his second administration — anticipate the Republican president-elect will call on everyone from the U.S. military to diplomats overseas to turn his campaign promise of mass deportations into a reality. The effort would include cooperation with Republican-led states and use federal funding as leverage against resistant jurisdictions.
A mass deportation effort aimed at removing 13 million immigrants illegally in the U.S. would cost at least $315 billion, according to an October study by the American Immigration Council.
Oh this is rich!
They forced him to stand down and move aside for Harris, and now they blame him for her loss.
Democrats Rage Against Biden After Trump's Decisive Win
https://www.newsmax.com/politics/joe-biden-kamala-harris-donald-trump/2024/11/07/id/1187202/
Democrats have directed their wrath and indignation toward President Joe Biden after President-elect Donald Trump's resounding victory over Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday.
Nearly a dozen officials and party operatives said in interviews that Biden, 81, squandered valuable months only to end in disaster on the debate stage against Trump in June, Politico reported. They said questions over Biden's age, apparent cognitive decline, and unpopularity put Democrats at a huge disadvantage.
They are furious that they were forced to embrace a candidate who voters made clear they did not want and that he stayed in the race long after it was clear he couldn't win. And by the time Biden decided to pass the torch, he saddled Harris with too many challenges and too little time to build a winning case, they said.
"He shouldn't have run," Jim Manley, a top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told Politico.
"This is no time to pull punches or be concerned about anyone's feelings. He and his staff have done an enormous amount of damage to this country."
When Harris took over in late July, Democrat leaders hoped she could separate herself from Biden's deficiencies, even with only 107 days to Election Day. The momentum she gained out of the gate raised hopes within the party that she could squeeze out a victory against Trump.
But any gains she made were swamped Tuesday when Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004. Biden was criticized for being incapable of selling the electorate on his accomplishments and for his apparent overconfidence, which kept him in the campaign despite growing signs that he wasn't up for the job, Politico reported.
"She ran an extraordinary campaign with a very tough hand that was handed to her," Mark Longabaugh, a Democrat strategist and former adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., told Politico. "The truth of the matter is, Biden should have stepped aside earlier and let the party put together a longer game plan."
White House aides and allies contended Tuesday's loss was so comprehensive that it's unknown if any Democrat could have won under such circumstances, Politico reported. Anti-incumbency anger ignited by the immigration crisis and inflation shifted working-class voters decisively toward Trump.
They expressed doubt Harris could have formed a workable coalition even if she had had more time to campaign.
"People, for whatever reason, feel it was better four years ago — and I don't think we could fight that," a longtime Democrat operative told Politico, pointing to the growing percentage of Hispanic and Black voters who flipped to Trump. "We just have a bad brand right now."
And thus it begins.
AKA as the BIG SCARE
You mean the senate race?
AP shows a pick up of 3 for the GOP in the house race.
15 million demoncraps that crossed the lines.
…crossed the lines to hell.
We are 2 away from getting the house, there are about 6 places where we might be able to pick up those 2 and a couple of moar for the GOP.
So he's been fucking his 5 year old daughter?
So in order for that Q drop to come true, PA senate race will have to flip, or Kari could concede and get a post on Trumps staff.
Which would be better?
Kari Lake Pulls Closer in Arizona US Senate Race
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/kari-lake-ruben-gallego-arizona/2024/11/08/id/1187235/
Republican Kari Lake has pulled closer to Democrat Rep. Ruben Gallego in Arizona's U.S. Senate race.
With 78% of the vote counted early Friday morning, Decision Desk HQ showed Gallego with 49.8% of the vote and Lake with 48.1%, a difference of 1.7%. Green Party candidate Eduardo Quintana had 2.1%.
After Maricopa County, which includes 60% of the state's voters, released more results Thursday night, Gallego was ahead by 43,698 votes, down from 2.5 percentage points and 52,578, Arizona Mirror reported.
The county posted results from 72,100 additional ballots — which favored Lake 57% to Gallego's 41% — pushing its total number tabulated to more than 1.6 million.
The Mirror added that Maricopa County estimated it had roughly 472,000 more ballots to count, with nearly 780,000 remaining to be counted across the state.
President-elect Donald Trump led 52.5% to 46.6% and was projected to win Arizona over Vice President Kamala Harris in the state's presidential race. The GOP presidential candidate leads 312-226 overall in the Electoral College.
Republicans are hoping Lake will prevail to add to their new Senate majority, which stands at 52-46.
Two other U.S. Senate races remain officially undecided. Republican Dave McCormick led Sen. Bob Casey by half a percentage point with 95% of the vote counted in Pennsylvania, and Democrat Sen. Jacky Rosen was ahead of Sam Brown in Nevada by 1.4% with 95% of the vote counted.
The Associated Press has called the Pennsylvania race for McCormick because, it said, there were not enough votes in areas supporting Casey for him to make up the difference.
Gallego has represented Arizona's 3rd Congressional District since 2015.
Lake, a former newscaster and a strong Trump supporter, lost the 2022 Arizona governor's race to Democrat Katie Hobbs.
The winner of the Arizona Senate race will replace Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., who won in 2018 as a Democrat.
Sinema left the Democratic Party two years ago after she antagonized the party's left wing. She considered running for a second term as an independent but bowed out when it was clear she had no clear path to victory.
