An Atlanta prosecutor on Thursday asked a judge to begin the Georgia election interference trial for Donald Trump and 18 other defendants on Oct. 23.

The scheduling request by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis came a day after one of Trump’s co-defendants, attorney Kenneth Chesebro, filed a demand for a speedy trial in the county Superior Court.

Willis directly cited Chesebro’s demand in her filing Thursday.

      I kinda want him convicted after the primaries. I want the Republicans stuck with a nominee literally in State prison for the General.

      Too bad it won’t make a lick of dielfference, and probably will bolster the opinions of the cult members.

        Is there anything to ‘un-bolster’ or can we say that these people are indeed a cult and cannot be reasoned with and are solidly stuck in their commitment. A cult is perfectly capable of bolstering themselves, they need no help.

        People outside that cult should try and stop entertaining the idea that they will potentially get worse by your actions or ideas. Cult ideology should never stop you in pursuing your own ideals and thoughts. They certainly will not be.

          Sadly, I think the only thing that could make them stop supporting Trump is if he died. Even then, I’m not sure they’d stop. Some would move on to whatever politician was able to emulate Trump the best. Others would insist that Trump’s not really dead, that he’d magically return after having destroyed the Deep State, and that we should elect him as our Forever President until he returns.
