New York has just risen to the second place on the world ranking of cities with the worst air pollution. Only Delhi is worse.
Stay inside folks if you can until that smog has cleared.

It's my understanding that none of that will prevent him from running, it might even help him among his crowd.
That why I am happy that Chris Christie has joined the race, its my understanding that he has no chance to win but that also gives him freedom to ram Trump directly, without fear of repercussions from Trump hardcores. And someone need to call Trump an idiot.

There is extremely few things that can prevent any american citizen of applicable age from running for president. Nothing trump's been indited for is among them.

Trying to run a presidential campaign from a jail cell or while dealing with multiple criminal trials is something of a difficult thing to manage, though. He's almost certainly locked in for the primary if he doesn't drop out the race or literally die, but there is precious little chance he'd do anything but get drubbed in the general trying to campaign under those conditions.

Actually, former Vice President and current Presidential Candidate Mike Pence has said just those things, and he's been rewarded with 4% of the polls. He's never gonna be President either. The ghost of John McCain has risen. Politicians will pause briefly to say good things about former Vice President Pence over his grave.

Like seriously, does anyone understand how long it takes to do anything in a Courtroom? Trump won't even be looking at a Criminal Jury Trial before the 2024 General Election!

And the DeSantis gameplan is that he can step in if Trump actually does fall sooner.

So it's probably Trump, possibly DeSantis.
And guess what? Trump needs a new running mate. I wonder if those two have figured out the optimum move here?

This is like saying Pompeii is the hottest city on earth.

But here's the kicker: a lot of this smog isn't being caused by industrial pollution. It's being caused by wildfires. CANADIAN wildfires.

Pompeii would top the temperature list simply because it was covered in lava for a week or so

Not lava. Pyroclastic flow made of ash and gasses. If it was lava it wouldn't have preserved the city as much as it did.

It's so sad that people in the Media don't understand the dangers is crying foul with the justice system related to this indictment.

Just because it's a former president, or a presidential candidate, doesn't mean the indictment is merely a political tool. It's like they can't even conceive that there could be merit to the accusation.

Or even more broadly: isn't all execution of justice political in the first place?

Try watching less FOX news. CBS is taking it super-serious.

The reality is probably in the middle. In truth, the entire criminal justice system IS political, even going down to that Politically Correct name. Who gets the Justice in the Criminal Justice System again? Just ask anyone in any part of it, and you'll get a resounding "No One".

Special Counsel Jack Smith doesn't have the 100% clean hands that the media tries to portray. July 2011, he married Katy Chevigny,[25] a documentary filmmaker[24] known for Becoming, an award-winning 2020 documentary of Michelle Obama. They have a daughter.[24] The couple has been living in the Netherlands since 2018.[5]

Haha I don't watch any TV news - I'm just commenting on the online comments I see about the (mostly right-wing) media coverage.

Just take out the word "justice" and the name's pretty accurate, eh?
