I think it's time we make a couple compromises. If we agree that you may call Mr. Trump "Fat Donny" without recriminations will you agree to be recognized as "That Stupid Asswhole" without recriminations?

You're kidding yourself. There is no single individual who can say that they are going to ignore a law and have it stick. If the law that you're referring to was enforceable it would be enforced.

According to New York law, Judge Merchan must recuse himself, but he's not following the law.

Recusal Obligations
Under certain circumstances specified under the Rules and the Judiciary Law, judges must exercise recusal. [22 NYCRR 100.3(E)(1)(a)–(g); NY Jud. Law §14.] For example, recusal is required in matters where (1) the judge or judge’s spouse, or a minor child residing in the judge’s household, has an economic interest in the subject matter of the controversy; (2) the judge has knowledge of certain disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding; or (3) the judge’s spouse or relative, or a relative’s spouse, is serving as a lawyer in the proceeding. [22 NYCRR 100.3(E)(1)(a)(ii), (c), (e).]

Judge Merchan is ignoring the law-he should recuse himself.
The daughter of the judge assigned to the hush-money criminal case of Republican former U.S. President Donald Trump worked for Democratic campaigns involving Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden.

(E) Disqualification

(1) A judge shall disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the
judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited to
instances where:

(d) the judge knows that the judge or the judge's spouse, or a person
known by the judge to be within the sixth degree of relationship to either of them, or the
spouse of such a person:

(iii) has an interest that could be substantially affected by the proceeding.


The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is president of Authentic Campaigns, a Chicago-based progressive political consulting firm whose top clients include Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who was the lead prosecutor in Trump’s first impeachment trial, and the Senate Majority PAC, a major party fundraiser.

Two major Democratic clients of the daughter of the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s hush-money trial have raised at least $93 million in campaign donations — and used the case in their solicitation emails — raising renewed concerns that the jurist has a major conflict of interest.

Ignore a law and have it stick? Not understanding your intent. Please clarify.

It's not enforced

Thanks.

When you ask Kevy-boy or any other Leftist on OPP a direct question, you either get an insult or they take the Fifth. They can't deal with facts. They don't know what a fact is. They constantly post opinions disguised as facts. All you have to do is call them on it, and they flee the scene of the crime.

And all those cute little names you like to use! You sound like a 14 year old and your mother wears combat boots you little girly! And you sound as intelligent as a 14 year old! Silly girl!

Oh yeah. I have done that too and crickets. Even asked in a post for liberals only. One or two answered but not the question of what do you like about Biden lol. They seem to have no clue this does and will continue to effect their future. But crickets. They really think this is all about R vs D not America vs Communism. Very stupid or just seeking attention. Maybe both.

This is only my personal theory, but I believe every Liberal/Leftist/Joe Voter on OPP view questions put to them on OPP the way Joe Biden views unscripted interviews and questions. It is terrifying. Whereas I and my boy Donald J. Trump thrive on surprise, hostile, and unpleasant questions directed at us and designed to trip us up.

Of course I cannot do what Donald J. Trump can do. That is he does it verbally. It is a skill set I lack, but I can do it on OPP sitting behind my keyboard.

Biden was just on Howard Stern's show where he fielded softball questions. Then Olde Uncle couldn't help spinning one of his ' Baron Münchhausen ' stories about how as a Senator, after his first wife's tragic death he was deemed worthy to be on the 10 most eligible bachelors list. He said he received salacious photos from " lovely women ". He said he would give them to the Secret Service. Since US Senators do not get Secret Service protection this statement is questionable.
