The ruling is significant not only for its stark repudiation of Donald Trump’s novel immunity claims but also because it breathes life back into a landmark prosecution that had been effectively frozen for weeks as the court considered the appeal.

There is no need for any preliminaries: On 9/30/2022 Donald Trump wrote the following on Truth Social;
“Is McConnell approving all of these Trillions of Dollars worth of Democrat-sponsored Bills, without even the slightest bit of negotiation, because he hates Donald J. Trump, and he knows I am strongly opposed to them, or is he doing it because he believes in the Fake and Highly Destructive Green New Deal, and is willing to take the Country down with him?” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“In any event, either reason is unacceptable. He has a DEATH WISH. Must immediately seek help and advise from his China loving wife, Coco Chow!” he added.
Anybody who has spent any time on this site knows what I think of Mitch McConnell, and since he has spent much of the past 5-6 Years promoting Fascism, and "DER RUEHRER" TRUMP, it is hard for me to have any sympathy for him. Yet, even at my level of disdain for him personally, it would never occur to me to imply a physical threat if he doesn't change, or use a juvenile racial slur about his wife.
Why would he do this? BECAUSE HE KEEPS GETTING AWAY WITH IT, AND HE REALIZES THAT HIS HARD-CORE SUPPORTERS ARE LITTLE MORE THAN FASCIST THUGS, WHOSE SOCIAL AND INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT SEEMS TO LACK THE ABILITY TO EMPATHIZE AND UNDERSTAND THAT HUMANITY IS MORE THAN JUST A WORD DESCRIBING PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES, BUT A SPECIES WHO HAVE DEVELOPED THE ABILITY TO FORM AND CREATE ETHICAL GUIDELINES THAT ALLOW FOR PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE APPLICABLE TO ALL IT'S MEMBERS.
It would be different if this were an aberration, but the DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP, NEWS MEDIA, ACADEMIA etc., seems to forget the recent past. Well, I don't.
TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE FOLLOWING;
CANDIDATE TRUMP TALKING ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON,
HINTING AT WHAT GUN EXTREMISTS COULD DO if she is elected.
8/10/2016.
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.
Although the second amendment people, maybe there is,
I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what, that will be a horrible day.”
EVEN MURDER WOULDN'T BOTHER HIS MOST FANATIC SUPPORTERS.
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."
Actually, it would have been more accurate for TRUMP to have said; ..."and I wouldn't lose votes." Why? We know now that the Rigging of Voter returns in Key States was suppose to Guarantee a TRUMP Victory, but just in case that the plan was discovered, and thwarted, Donald concentrated on a campaign that would ensure that his Most Radical Supporters:
White Supremacists.
Religious Zealots.
Xenophobes.
Homophobes.
Ultra-Conservative Nationalists.
Not only would support him, but defend any Lie or Deception that Trump spread across the Media. Unfortunately, as has happened so many times over the past half dozen years or so, Trump says things like the examples above, and the opposition and the Media fail to point out previous transgressions.
As of now, we hear constant talk about TRUMP making False Claims about the 2020 Election, Yet for some bizarre reason there is a failure to MENTION THAT TRUMP MADE THE SAME ACCUSATIONS BEFORE THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AND AFTER THE 2018 MID-TERMS.
In 2016 it was a clever Back-Up, in case Russia didn't deliver on the anticipated altering of Voter Returns in Key States. He had a ready made collection of FASCIST SYCHOPHANTS ready to believe anything he said. (So the Insurrection had to wait 4 years) In 2018, it was a way to explain the GOP losses at the polls.
Remember the following? Do you really think they were calculated to appeal to the Majority of Americans, or a select segment:
TALKING ABOUT MEXICO.
6/15/2015
"They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
Immigration.
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries coming here?”
Violence In Charlottesville.
These are just a few examples, but you get the idea. As I have said in the past:
THE CONSTITUTION MANDATES THAT WE TOLERATE SPEECH WE CONSIDER OFFENSIVE. HOWEVER, WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO RESPECT IT. IF YOU BELIEVE I AM BEING UNFAIR TO TRUMP SUPPORTERS, I LEAVE IT TO YOU: PLEASE POINT OUT WHAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE THE "RESPECTFUL" NATURE OF THE THINGS TRUMP AND HIS ALLIES DO AND SAY. I AM ON FACEBOOK, TWITTER, TUMBLER, DIGG AND LINKEDIN. I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO POINT OUT DONALD TRUMPS POSITIVE QUALITIES, AND HOW HIS SUPPORTERS JUST WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR THIS COUNTRY.
UPDATE- TAKEN FROM THE INSIDER ARTICLE:
Liz Cheney is the only Republican member of Congress to explicitly condemn Trump's racist remarks about Mitch McConnell's wife Elaine Chao— but disapproval among the GOP is growing.
BY ERIN SNODGRASS
Several prominent conservatives this week denounced former President Donald Trump's racist remarks toward Elaine Chao, a one-time member of Trump's own cabinet and wife to GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell.
Sen. Liz Cheney, however, remains the only Republican member of Congress thus far to explicitly condemn the former president for his xenophobic comments.
Trump on Friday unleashed a barrage of insults against Senate Minority Leader McConnell in a Truth Social tirade accusing the Kentucky lawmaker of approving "trillions of dollars worth of Democrat sponsored bills" because he "hates Donald J, Trump."
"He has a DEATH WISH," Trump wrote in a marked escalation of his usual political rhetoric.
In castigating Trump on Monday, Cheney became the only Republican member of Congress to publicly decry the former president's remarks. McConnell himself has yet to address the situation.
"When you see former President Trump just in the last 24 hours suggesting in a pretty thinly veiled way, using words that could well cause violence against the Republican leader of the Senate, saying he has a death wish and then, you know, launching an absolutely despicable, racist attack against Secretary Chao, Leader McConnell's wife, and then you watch the fact that nobody in my party will say that's unacceptable," Cheney said during at an event held at Syracuse University, according to The Hill.

WOW, I've often criticized the Democratic Leadership for not standing up to DONALD TRUMP, BUT FOR THE ENTIRE GOP MEMBERSHIP IN CONGRESS NOT TO CONDEMN "DER FUEHRERS" RACIST COMMENTS, OR HIS COMMENTS ON MCCONNELL HAVING A "DEATH WISH" TELL ME ONE THING:
THE GOP IS SO WRAPPED UP IN THE FASCIST AGENDA OF TRUMP, THAT THEIR CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP IS LITTLE MORE THAN A COLLECTION OF ETHICAL, SOCIAL, AND PHYSICAL COWARDS.
MY GOD, MCCONNELL WON'T EVEN STAND UP FOR HIS WIFE, AND HIS REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES WON'T EVEN ADDRESS THE THREAT MADE AGAINST HIM.
OXFORD DEFINITION OF COWARD: a person who lacks the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things.
HOW DOES THIS NOT DESCRIBE TODAYS GOP?
