You have no power here!

No one's above the law, grand juries will decide not politicians.

The response was “oh you’re one of those both sides guys”. There was nothing more. That in and of itself is a shit argument that proves nothing, and you agreed with it, which makes your argument shit.
but, since you want evidence you can look at Hillary Clinton, paid a fine for the exact same thing they’re trying to nail Trump for just replace a porn star with people giving her campaign bogus info on Russian ties for Trump.

Both sides suck, you can play this game all day, it’s just moronic to even think the dems are any better than the reps.

There certainly are, they are the ones that make the titles as click-baity as possible regardless of the article text which they've ignored.

Here is an idea. Majority of people take mass transit to Manhattan to work. During rush hour they should devote 3-4 lines going to Manhattan in the morning and 3 lines moving traffic out of Manhattan.

I think none of you know what the word "sovereign" means. It means there is no higher power. States do have a higher power, its literally what the federal government is.

Can we please start building affordable housing on artificial islands?

Buying one building and turning it into affordable housing isn't enough. We have to start thinking big. Only way to do that is expand into the Hudson river and outside of queens, Brooklyn and past long island as well. We need to start also building artificial islands out a couple miles too for future use and to stop hurricane waves.

This will also cut down on hurricane waves and flooding

There's no more space in NYC so this is what we need to do.

No editors anymore.

Very nice and easy to use.

You're welcome to provide evidence instead of arguing non-existent hypotheticals in your head

Perhaps North Carolina does a far better job of administering Section 8 than NY.

Both sides suck. Still don’t change the truth of their opinion. It is as shitty an argument as one could come up with, and you just tried it again

There is a very good point to be made that this is so high profile and publicized that not prosecuting it sends a message that some people because of their status are free from consequences.

Exactly - every prosecutor across the country every day makes those choices. That's why they plea cases down. It takes a lot of effort to go to a jury trial. If the defendant has a competent lawyer, it takes much much more effort. If the defendant will have a team of lawyers to stall at every turn...it takes that much more.

>so it feels disingenuous to blame this development

I'm not being disingenuous at all, nor blaming anything. I'm pointing out that Bragg has limited resources for a "novel legal theory" against a man with an army of lawyers. There is a good chance that if this prosecution goes forward, it could take literal years and could result in an acquittal.

I've not heard a single legal pundit say this a good case. With all that - is the potential juice worth the monumental squeeze?

What else could a team of four or five lawyers pursue over the course of 2-6 years aside from this? That's the tradeoff.

It looks from my perspective that Bragg has made choices not to prosecute cases long before this Trump case ramped up, so it feels disingenuous to blame this development for something that had been happening already.

Um....that's a weird question, and the answer is so obvious that I'm not sure where to start.

If Bragg's office prosecutes Trump, there will be other crimes they can't prosecute. Bragg's office - like every organization on Earth - has a finite set of resources to use.

If he prosecutes Trump, that prosecution will use way up more resources than the average case. Again, because the resources of the New York DAs office is finite, there will be choices that have to be made as to what to let go and not pursue for lack of resources. They make that choice today.

So, yes, if Bragg prosecutes Trump there will be other cases which can't be prosecuted.

Do you not understand that intuitively without that explanation?

There is no truth as it's never happened

There is discrepancy between outlets coverage of this the the arraignment charges. Nearly all article have describe this as a strangulation (a felony) with the allege arrest charge being strangulation.

But the arraignment charges published on the public court date website shows the top charge he is facing is a misdemeanor assault charge.

It’s a nice app. I looked up my house. Cool beans.

People in NYC are not fans of Bragg since day 1. Maybe Bragg is gaming for a federal role? US Attorney?
