You're right, it's totally nonsensical. Clearly that was put in to screw with this specific situation.

Rainbow vacuums, my parents had one when I was growing up.
First off, in the world of Ghostbusters, ghosts absolutely are real, though their appearances seem to be somewhat sporadic.
Second, Peck was a man who abused his power and nearly caused an apocalypse.
I'm not saying the Ghostbusters were entirely in the right, but Peck absolutely went too far because of his own personal biases. When he first went to the firehouse to investigate, he started out just fine. When he asked to see the containment unit, Venkman asked a perfectly valid question, "why do you want to see it?" From there, Peck immediately went off on a tangent, accusing the Ghostbusters of being frauds, and threatening legal action, to which Venkman responded in kind.
The next time Peck shows up, he has barged in and shuts everything down without thought of the consequences. Even the people he brings along for support think it's a bad idea.
It's like somebody built a bomb in their back yard, and instead of properly defusing it, he insists they take a sledgehammer to it.
Imagine how this goes if he kept his cool in the first meeting. Venkman likely shows him the containment unit, and Spengler explains how it works. If it really does run afoul of EPA regulations, the Ghostbusters get a fine, and are asked to bring their equipment into compliance. Maybe they have to retrofit a few things, but in the end, there's probably no explosion of ghosts, and possibly Vinz Clortho and Zuul never manage to link up (as their meeting was facilitated by the chaos of the aftermath), preventing Gozer from entering our dimension.
It's relevant in the context that helping China is explicitly something Trump says he's against. So the fact that his policies would actually help them is yet another example of him being an idiot and a hypocrite.
Yeah, tell that to Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Because the judge isn't bending over backwards to accommodate Trump's every whim. That's literally it. If he was, he'd be the best, most honest and fair judge our country has ever seen.
It was also a civil suit, not criminal.
That was a civil suit, not criminal.
It means if there was an actual politically motivated prosecution, that wouldn't stop someone from winning. ie. If Trump had managed to make some fake charge against Biden stick in 2020, if the people still wanted Biden to be president, he could be.
Starfleet Academy series is also in production.
The unanimous requirement is for convictions. A separate jury is usually convened for sentencing, and is not necessarily required to be unanimous.
Even if Trump steps aside, we're still fucked if the Republicans win. Project 2025 isn't specific to Trump, it's a template for the next Republican president, whoever that may be. Trump may be the lightning rod for the party, but that doesn't mean another candidate would be any better.
