NYPD orders every member of department to report in uniform following Trump indictment
The New York Police Department (NYPD) has ordered every member of the force to report in full uniform on Friday as a “precautionary measure,” following former President Trump’s indictment.

“All uniformed members of the New York City Police Department are to show up in uniform as of 0700 hours on 03-31-2023 as a precautionary measure,” a spokesperson said on Thursday night.

The police department consists of about 36,000 officers and 19,000 civilian employees, according to the NYPD’s website.
Trump was indicted on criminal charges on Thursday in the Manhattan district attorney’s yearslong investigation into the former president’s involvement in a 2016 hush money payment.

Shortly before the 2016 presidential election, Trump’s then-attorney Michael Cohen made a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels in an effort to buy her silence about an alleged affair with the former president.

Trump sparked concerns about potential violence earlier this month when he called on his supporters to protest and “take our nation back” in anticipation of his indictment. In a post to Truth Social last week, he warned that criminal charges could result in “potential death & destruction.”
Steel barricades were put up outside the Manhattan Criminal Court and the Manhattan district attorney’s offices last week, as the city braced for a potential indictment in response to Trump’s comments.

Ya, Desantis is smarter and more mature. I was impressed that he said he wouldn't assist in helping extradite Trump. Even though Trump has been talking mad shit. I think that shows some character. And it's smart just to stay out of this mess.
This was the main reason trump moved to Florida in the first place, because the Governor must sign extradition authorization. So by not signing it desantis can keep trump on house arrest in Florida.....lol The whole while desantis tours the country running for president....lol lol

No he'll be in his fancy jet posting on Truth Social and raising money. The Manhattan DA isn't the one that decides. It's a Judge that will be making any decisions. The DA brings a case before a court. A Judge presides over it. The DA's job is done until they go to trial. He can make recommendations and requests but ultimately it's up to a Judge regarding any bail, conditions of bail, gag order, etc...

Isn't there a "How things work 101" book available?

Oh, I'm familiar with how it works and equality under the law begins with indictment before a judge, made by a grand jury and presented by the prosecutor. Once the charges are enumerated a plea is taken and then the judge sets conditions of release, based on submissions by the prosecution and defense, and the seriousness of the charges. With other defendants who have made threats to the prosecutor prosecting them, that is a separate and distinct crime and usually calls for incarceration pending trial. Equality under the law begins with the judge and means that Donald cannot be treated any better or worse than other defendants charged with threatening prosecutors who were prosecuting them for their crimes. Many legal experts have said that Donald's public statements have constituted such threats under NY state and federal law.

I don't want to see Donald incarcerated; he is more useful out loose like chucky with a knife inside the GOP. However, the stupid cunt has already said enough to get himself locked up like anybody else would who said and posted the same shit, remember that equality under the law thing, the judge will.

Desantis is very intelligent. While I disagree with a lot of his politics, I do think that he's a lot smarter intellectually than either Biden or Trump. It seems to me that all he has to do is sit back and let Trump ruin himself, and let Biden make repeated fax pas; unless of course, the Dems come up with someone viable.
Picking a fight with Disney is a terrible look, but I think he has to be loud and proud with doing stupid things to court the primary voters. It's why he can't sit back, he knows if he loses his momentum it likely isn't going to come back. He has to stay in the news that is relevant to the voters for whatever the upcoming election is and the primary voters like stuff that doesn't sell to a larger audience.

Jim "lil piss baby" Abbott could come in from the wings to go for the more moderate ones if desantis and trump split the weirdos. A moderate republican would do well against Biden imho...but those are conservative democrats now so....

It is the situation they have created for themselves.

If you view the republican party as being pretty faschie, using the ur-facism criteria I always do, criteria 1-3 make a lot of sense with why desantis can't just shut up. All of it fits pretty well tbh, but due to 3 he keeps hitting up 1 and 2.

List is around halfway down:

We will see how eager Alvin is to hold Trump until trial when they arraign him for a plea and it comes time for the judge to bail or jail him. Donald is gonna be pissed at all the vicious nasty things the prosecutors will say about him when his lawyer looks for bail and they will take all three of his passports away, just because he owns a private jet and has foreign contacts! Like I said, in light of what Doanld has said and the torrent of death threats the prosecutors have documented he might be lucky to make bail and if he does, he will sweat for it and be muzzled.
It's always a possibility that they want him to flee the country...Kill several birds with one stone. They don't have to deal with prosecuting him, it makes him look like the traitor he is, it removes him from the world political stage except as a side show exhibit, and it would discredit the magat republicans even more completely, if that is at all possible.

I think pj and pads are correct that desantis could/would be a credible threat, but I think desantis is blowing it. He's fighting with trump for the hearts and minds of the crazies. In doing that, he paints himself into a corner and isn't going pull the independents or moderate republicans that left.

Quite the catch22 though, you have to win with the crazies to get through the primary. Moderates got pushed out so the crazy folks now decide who goes go the show.
If the republicans had any sense, they wouldn't hold a primary, they'd just pick a sensible candidate, and put all their resources behind that person, and fuck the magats...fortunately for the rest of us, they don't have any sense...and primaries are probably required by law, even if the whole idea is just kind of silly. It's never been about picking the best candidate, it's been about picking the most popular one, which just illuminates the next flawed link in a broken chain.
