Adding to the shambolic nature of elections in the USA, there are some states who have laws preventing felons from being on the election ballot. So while Trump may run for President, he would not be on the ballot in those states unless these laws are changed pronto.

Other way round. Judge must be corrupt, and jury must be biased.

Probably say it was a waste of time and resources in that case. But it is a stretch to say that the defense agreed to the composition of the jury since an earlier motion to change the venue of the trial was declined.

^ And pardon himself? Or needs a handpicked successor who will.

I will say that Kejriwal has provided a template for running government from jail. Maybe that is why the US ambassador to India was so interested in his case

Conspirator may have escaped to US

That is the usual pattern though isn't it? American dual citizens committing capital offenses in India and then sheltering in the USA?

What odds that this person will be extradited to India or Bangladesh to face possible capital punishment?

Link below mentions the case of a journalist who was deported from India after misunderstanding OCI rules. Reading the chronology, it appears the OCI card was obtained by the journalist when a minor. Think it would be good to require a 1 time re-application for OCI when someone turns 18 to make sure...

Press about this says that the pressure was not adjusted unlike a submarine. Another interesting facet is that he wasn't submerged very deep. Just about a 100 feet or so. Lets see if others are able to duplicate this experience.

It is time that GoI go out on the attack More? Maybe we can discuss graduated steps like with Pakistan. But already Canada is being dismissed unlike the USA.

Canadian drug cartels trying to revive Khalistan movement in India Article predates current events.

^ One possibility is to de-recognize degrees from some US universities for employment, visa or lending purposes in India (akin to what was done to some domestic universities in the 1990s).

What I take away is that India somehow got on the radar as a potential competitor. Similar to how the actor behind the shroud is now in the open wrt Khalistani terror.

Lol. In what way does anyone trust a Paki on Indian matters? IMO GoI needs a more firm hand on denying visas to Pak origin people regardless of citizenship. God knows Indian applicants are denied visas and hassled even when granting visas to Europe. So there should be no hesitation to return the fav...

Per this article, parties are willing to fly you to India for free to vote in these elections. I can see this being a nice little money earner for the airlines as more voters living abroad are registered.

Question that popped up in my curious mind - Is there room in India now for apps that exclude English as an option?

Did not forget. Indian agents are alleged to have successfully operated in Canada and UK. Its only the USA that's officially invested enough in protecting the Khalistani and Pakistani terrorists that operations have not succeeded.

SD failed in regime change. So, now Soros is trying to discredit the elections - like they tried in BD. EVM = Modi, paper ballots = pappu. So, EVMs are bad.

In the light of this, is the US considered a democracy still?

The law responsible for those bills (colloquially called Obamacare) was passed by Obama when Biden was VP! Medicare, Medicaid or commercial insurance doesn't matter if one gets stuck with a bill at the end anyway.
