There is no 'hard' evidence against Trump. You should read the statement of facts already posted in this thread, they also have audio evidence.

Yet he provided a link for you to check if you wished, unlike you when you made this claim: Or did you forget to put IMO this time................

"Catch and kill" timeline The statement of facts contains a timeline during which the former president is alleged to have engaged in a practice known as "catch and kill," which involved buying negative stories in an effort to keep them from being published. From August 2015 through December 2017, the statement of facts says Mr. Trump "orchestrated a scheme with others to influence the 2016 presidential election by identifying and purchasing negative information about him to suppress its publication and benefit the Defendant's electoral prospects." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-indictment-statement-of-facts-key-takeaways-excerpts-from-charges/

Does that mean Finland and NATO have just grossly violated Russia's right to cross the border and annex it............lol

Yes some pretty amazing footage of the whole event and the aftermath. Follow the twitter string. Shows him being handed the small portrait sculpture then bang!

Agree although there are 3 distinct categories of abuse that are investigated by professionals. Physical, emotional and sexual. However they can be intertwined and all result in the same emotional scarring that needs intervention. Any or all of those three constitute significant harm although its of course to what degree it occurs in physical and emotional abuse. There is another factor that is not dealt with in the article/study and that is the families socio-economic status. Which can have a bearing on how well you can bring up your children.

The experts are also of that opinion: A gag order for Donald Trump is 'extremely likely' once he's before a judge, legal expert says https://www.businessinsider.com/gag-order-donald-trump-extremely-likely-indictment-manhattan-2023-3

I've had a similar approach. Never had a need for physical punishment. Not when children are brought up correctly. As you say restraining from harming self or others or putting themselves in danger is very different to hitting. Children need to feel safe and secure. Routine, food, love, attention and strong boundaries with a clear consequence should they attempt to break them. Only with that in place do they thrive within a positive environment. Without those boundaries in place and if the "No" is not carried out then kids learn to thrive on the excitement of breaking rules. That excitement can then transfer to them as they grow up into delinquent behaviour and onward into adulthood. Physical punishment is often carried out by parents who failed to do the basics and now use a quick sharp shock instead. The problem with this approach is learned behaviour that then feeds into their own values, its ok to hit others, after all their parents did it to them. (obviously this is not in all cases) Good parenting is about providing a secure circle of safety that they feel safe and loved within.

Here's another fact for you, from the link. "Trump’s history with illegal labor goes much further back: In 1980, the future president employed several hundred undocumented immigrants from Poland to demolish a building on the future site of Trump Tower in New York. Trump denied knowing that, but a judge later ruled that he “should have known.” Trump settled a lawsuit regarding the Polish workers in 1998, paying $1.38 million, according to news reports."

The quote has already stated that and its not an opinion piece as you claimed. You obviously haven't read it. Why claim its an opinion piece from the author "48 current and former Trump workers interviewed by The Washington Post"

Which facts are not clear to you?

The Washington Post does not seem clearly laid out to you? My quote from it is not clear to you? You asked: Was he intentionally hiring illegals and paying them less or treating them worse than his other employees? What part of this is not laid out well? "Using them brought a double advantage: Trump could reap the financial benefit of undocumented labor — the ability to pay his employees lower wages and fewer benefits — and the political benefit of attacking it." As for the rest of the article read it and tell me which paragraph is not clear to you?

Really? Your video has him talking about the dangers of A1 yet he was looking at a version of this himself N1 U.S. regulators rejected Elon Musk’s bid to test brain chips in humans, citing safety risks Musk has said his brain implant company, Neuralink, will make the paralyzed walk, the blind see and eventually turn people into cyborgs. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/neuralink-musk-fda/

You may want to refer to my link where that's clearly laid out. Have you deliberately ignored it?

I thought I had already acknowledged that, how many times would you like to repeat it? & how many times would you like me to point out the hypocrisy of Trump in the matter?

That's more than a yes no answer. You seriously want to take this off topic and start discussing Hilary Clinton on a Trump thread.

You're right, they probably were indicted but that does not take away the outcome which I quoted (no conviction) nor does it take away the use of undocumented workers by Trump while at the same time attacking it politically.

From your link: "A centrally planned economy, also known as a command economy, is an economic system where a government body makes economic decisions regarding the production and distribution of goods." Where does that fit into the ideology of cities referred to in C40? https://www.c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/15-minute-cities-Debunking-the-myths?language=en_US

Although that company was never actually indicted which is what the poster was asking for. "In a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Speed Fab Crete, a Texas-based builder, admitted it illegally employed individuals not authorized to work in the United States, and agreed to forfeit $3 million to the U.S. Treasury for use in promoting law enforcement activities related to immigration enforcement." Trump, trumps it all...................... For years — including during Trump’s presidency — the Trump Organization employed undocumented workers as housekeepers, waiters, groundskeepers and stonemasons. Using them brought a double advantage: Trump could reap the financial benefit of undocumented labor — the ability to pay his employees lower wages and fewer benefits — and the political benefit of attacking it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/5-questions-about-president-trumps-use-of-undocumented-workers/2019/12/04/29439928-16a2-11ea-a659-7d69641c6ff7_story.html

You said the ideology scares you. You now state that its because it smacks of central planning. Can you tell me what city does not have central planning?

Sounds like he has himself to blame for this. Infamous YouTuber ‘Lord Miles’ Among UK Nationals Detained by the Taliban Miles Routledge, otherwise known by the online moniker Lord Miles, attracted global notoriety in 2021 when he took a “holiday” to Afghanistan shortly before the Taliban takeover. He was subsequently airlifted out of the country by the British Army during the fall of Kabul in August of that year, securing a highly sought after seat on an evacuation flight while thousands of Afghans who had worked alongside Western coalition forces were left behind. Routledge posted videos and updates to Facebook and 4Chan at the time, and later returned to Afghanistan where he filmed YouTube videos in which he joined a Taliban parade and fired guns with Taliban militants. https://www.vice.com/en/article/ak3d7j/youtuber-arrested-by-taliban-afghanistan

That's the Fox version opinion. What he actually said was: "As for Alvin Bragg, as a matter of fact I did not contribute to his campaign and I don't know him," Soros told Semafor. "I think some on the right would rather focus on far-fetched conspiracy theories than on the serious charges against the former president."

You need to explain, "A global network of mayors taking urgent action to confront the climate crisis and create a future where everyone can thrive." What is their ideology that you don't agree with?

Its worthwhile spending a couple of minutes fact checking when making claims that you then can't back up. Study: No partisan benefit from mail voting in 2020 election The research is only the latest in a years-long number of studies finding no partisan benefit to mail voting. But it also draws the conclusion that making it easier to vote did not increase voting levels because voters were already highly motivated to participate in the 2020 contest. Even As Trump Denounces Vote By Mail, GOP In Florida And Elsewhere Relies On It

There's a strong likelihood there are two women involved here. "the grand jury has been investigating hush money payments to two women who claimed to have had with him. Details of those payments were made public only after he was elected as president in 2016.
