Dem owned? Can I see the copy of the sales receipt, maybe the deed? LOL...trumpers!

Wrong. First, it's pure speculation on your part his felony convictions (34) will be overturned. Elsewhere, he is a convicted sex offender (civil case) He is a convicted charity fraudster and is barred from starting a charity, as are his children He is a convicted bank fraudster (civil) He is a convicted insurance fraudster (civil) Yesterday's felony convictions involved fraud, too, so he is owner of lots of fraud convictions, civil and now criminal.

Your opinion has no basis in fact. The SS has one job: to offer protection to their charge wherever he is. They have zero control over where law enforcement might send him. They have zero authority to dictate where he can or cannot go. Should Judge Merchan sentence the convicted felon to prison, room would be made for SS agents to live in the same facility, though unlike the criminal, the agents would be free to come and go.

Goodness. You really subscribe to the fringe conspiracies. Snowden is always good for a laugh. As soon as he loses his propaganda value to putin, he'll be given the Edward Lee Howard treatment, which is an at-home tumble down the stairs resulting in his death. I always laugh at people who think the NSA cares they exist or keeps watch on them. The same people willingly give their life's details away on social media, or algorithms are run on their shopping and credit card use to create a picture of them for advertisers. SOme people actually drive Chnese-made cars, totally oblivious to the fact every conversation they have inside their car is recorded and forwarded to the MSS via the manufacturer. It is aimed at domestic dissidents so the CCP can monitor its own people, but it also exists in every Chinese vehicle shipped anywhere in thre world. But the NSA !!!!! Blah Blah Blah.

Wrong. President's do not have any security clearance. They are allowed access to classified information at the discretion of agency chiefs because of the vote of the public. In his case, there was much denied him, especially after he exposed a Mossad penetration of ISIS when he blabbed to Lavrov and Kislyak and their FSB "cameraman" in the Oval Office. Presidents are rarely, if ever, provided with the identities of foreign clandestine assets, as they have no need to know. In the PDB, the intel is usually given a rating and an asset described as, for example, "a long term asset whose previous reporting has been found to be highly reliable". The US maintains liaison relationships with many nations' intelligence services, and after that exposure, intel was only passed to US intel officials under a guarantee it would not be shared with him. Many of the documents he stole upon defeat were only in his possession because his two hand-picked lackeys at DNI---Grenell and Ratcliffe---gave then to him. Dan Coats and Gina Haspel were too smart to do that. An actual security clearance requires a lengthy background investigation, depending on the level of clearance required. Since no investigation of a Presidential candidate is undertaken, no winning President is ever given an actual clearance. The day a President leaves office, he no longer has any right to view or be told anything classified. He is a private citizen. Traditionally, some intel is shared with former Presidents, but not with him, as he was not trusted, besides being under indictment for his massive document theft. It will be interesting, should he win in November, what will happen. Yes, he can appoint his own lackeys as DCI or DNI or DirNSA, but unless the workforce provides intel, the agency chief would have nothing to share. Liaison relationships would likely cease, and a good many skilled and talented field officers in the different agencies would likely resign or retire. Finding skills among his cult would be like finding a basketball center for the Yemen Olympic team who could compete with Wembanyama or Jokic. In any event, when he was POTUS he did not like the intel community, because they told him the truth, not what he wanted to hear. Many Presidents have had trouble with that, but they come to understand that the intel community's job is to collect and then assess intel, not manufacture it or cherry pick according to what the President wants to believe.

Curious what the official cult line is about Stormy and Karen McDougal....did he have sex with them or not? As Bill Maher says, "I don't know it for a fact; I just know it's true". As I have posted previously, it was a HUGE mistake for defense to deny the Stormy tryst. The convicted felon could have gotten all weepy saying how worried he was that public knowledge would hurt his 3rd wife. The jury might have bought that (probable) lie and it might have resulted in acquittal or a hung jury. Instead, it seems the jury found her so believable that prosecution did not even need to call Karen McDougal. You should really lay off the continual "TDS" epithets and accusations. Those of us who oppose the convicted felon have quite good reasons for disliking him, both for his convictions and his alleged crimes, which on the surface look like slam dunks. Try to subvert democracy? Bad guy. Foment a terrorist attack on the US Capitol? Bad guy. Steal highly classified documents that jeopardize national security and the identities of foreign clandestine intelligence assets? Bad guy. Those are concrete reasons why I do not like him. Toss in his constant whining and his everyday childishness, and he is never going to win my favor nor support. His constant hyperbole and overuse of superlatives is just irritating, but the crimes and willful ignorance of what the US is meant to stand for is what sets me against him.

No, I did not miss that. Deservedly convicted. If your IQ is as superior as I have seen you claim, surely you know it's a lot easier for a rich white guy to get off than a Black man.

Your comment is too generous. Likely some still believe Hugo Chavez rose from the grave, wrote code to upload to an Italian satellite, and had that satellite alter votes on Dominion voting machines, as one of the convicted felon's crack lawyers---Sidney Powell---stated. When you are dealing with that level of gullibility and idiocy, you know things like "proof" are, to them, an alien and unnecessary concept.

The convicted felon will likely be calling on his cult members to rise up and commit violence on his behalf, just as he did on 6 January 2021. Being his goober has already landed around 480 of his cult in prison, with more to follow. One wonders if any of his non-incarcerated cult recognizes that reality, and will now say, "after you, oh messiah". It takes very little imagination to think that right now there are folks trying to find the names and addresses of the 12 jurors in order to make that info public and encourage violence by the convicted felon's supporters. There is even a Forum member who posted a puffed up warning, saying his side has the guns, and those who oppose the felon should be afraid. Violence or its threat is what they think gives them power, when they are just becoming increasingly impotent.

He might have been acquitted, or at least won a hung jury, if he had taken an entirely different approach. He should have admitted to the tryst with Stormy, and then claimed he was worried how it would affect his 3rd wife. Yes, if even 1% of the reason was fear how it would impact voters, the jury might have been more sympathetic if he played the contrite husband, thusly ignoring the election impact. He chose not to present that defense, and it certainly seems the jury believed everything Stormy said, despite the crime not being the affair, but the fraudulent accounting of the payoff. He lost credibility by denying something that even his 3rd wife likely believes happened. I had thought Karen McDougal would have been an important witness, since she alleges a year long affair plus a payoff, and she has messages and phone records that corroborate her claims. The prosecution knew better, and knew they did not need McDougal. They had documents detailing the fraud, so had no need for additional sordid details. The prosecution really did not even need Michael Cohen, and defense made a huge mistake trying to pin everything on him. The documents, along with Pecker and Hope Hicks, were enough to prove the case. I suspect defense had to go along with what the convicted felon wanted, ignoring their own better judgement regarding what would be more likely to lead to acquittal or a hung jury. No doubt his cult will dig in their heels, but they are a minority, and even were in 2016. It's swing voters and independents who will now be faced with voting for, or voting against, a convicted felon. If the guy was smart---unlikely---he would refrain from his usual whining on social media, as that is only singing to the choir. If he could somehow grow up 75 years in a few minutes, he might not alienate the undecideds. He cannot and he will not. Interesting to see the first (R) who sees the writing on the wall and hangs him out to dry. Those still squatting on Veepstakes Island will stay with him until he makes a choice for running/cell mate.

I don't know. I mean how much money can Melania give him? Certainly not enough to cover his $465 million bank and insurance fraud judgement, nor the $88 million for E Jean Carroll.

Funny how we all have our preferences. Anyone who supports a guy who steals highly classified documents that can threaten national security and foreign clandestine intelligence assets is an enemy to me, my family and my country. Anyone who tries to subvert the will of the people in a fair and democratic election is an enemy to me, my family and my country. Anyone who incited an insurrection against the US Capitol in order to stop the official certification of a free and fair election is an enemy to me, my family and my country.

What are their crimes? Did HRC try to overthrow the 2016 election? DId she engage in a fake elector scheme? Did she send her supporters to stop the official VP certification of the election? And what is/are Pelosi's crimes? The convicted felon's crimes and alleged crimes (pending the end of his delays) are patently obvious.

besides Incels, QAnons and the Charlottesville tikitorchers, the convicted felon probably owns 99-100% of the Neo Nazi demographic.

When you lose the election by around 8 million votes, but pressure Raffensperger, send your goobers to the Capitol to disrupt the official certification, and engage in a fake elector scheme, I believe THAT is trying to subvert the will of the people in a democracy. Biden did not due that, nor did HRC in 2016, nor any of the 44 Presidents before 2016. Only one defeated person did that. The convicted felon has carried his Stop the Steal lie for several years now.

"Fascist" in the convicted felon's world means those who favor democracy and rule of law. And TDS---which I thought was a word no grata on this site---is quite clearly something the fans of the convicted felon see every day in their bathroom mirror.

What are you rambling about? If you know of a crime Biden committed, give a call to the Repub House. They will welcome you with open arms. The convicted felon committed crimes. He is alleged to have committed many more, for which he has been indicted. You cannot explain his theft of classified docs, nor his lying to the FBI about returning them. You cannot explain away his pressuring the GA SecState to "just find me...11,780 votes". You cannot explain why he called his goobers to DC and told them to go to the Capitol. Now, you cannot accept that a jury of his peers found him to have committed 34 felonies.

I don't mind laughing---even at myself---if something is funny. Don't quit your retirement to try the Vaudeville Circuit of summer in the Catskills.

So facts are gibberish (that you edited out). Got it. I'm beginning to support the Thai govt backtracking on weed. It seems it does do damage.

Point out those 'crazy comments'. In the one trial he could not delay---because he didn't appoint the judge, it is not under the purview of the Supreme Court (where he appointed 3 judges and where a 4th evidenced support for the "Stop the Steal" fallacy), and where he doesn't have a Repub Governor, he was found guilty by a jury of his peers. That is how the American Justice System works. The convicted felon doesn't seem to like it when he cannot get undeserved favorable treatment. I wonder how many people---even those who have a Security Clearance, which he never had (Presidents are not given a security clearance, and certainly do not have one after being defeated or leaving office)---would not already be in jail awaiting trial for such a massive theft of highly classified documents? You cannot argue the facts, so can only resort to a silly comment. You should take your condoms off.

I see you're a real Law and Order type. If you read the indictment, now conviction, all will be clear. He engaged in fraud in service of another crime. In NY State that is a felony. A jury of his peers found the evidence compelling, so he is now a convicted felon. As for paying for the services of a lady...that did not happen. He paid to keep her quiet about services rendered. What he did with her is up to his 3rd wife to decaide if that is okay; the court was only concerned with the fraud involved in covering it up. Do you have an opinion on whether any of us have stolen thousands of highly classified documents? Is that something anyone would do, and then lie about returning what he had no right to possess? How about how many of us have called the SecState of Georgia and pressured him to engage in voter fraud? How many of us fomented an insurrection by first calling our supporters to DC for 6 Jan 21, and then telling them to march to the Capitol and fight like hell? I cannot speak for other members, but I have never done that, nor did I ever engage in a fake elector scheme to subvert the wishes of the American people.

I think both the cultists and rational people can agree on one thing....kind of like that proverbial Chinese Curse of 'May you live in interesting times': He is a man of conviction.

Wow, you're adding such value to the Forum! Why did you wait so long to join and deprive the members of your 'wisdom'? Obviously you have no actual point to make, just attacks. One might reasonably infer from your comments that you hate the American system, rule of law, and democracy.

The uber entitled white male is barking about 'unfair' justice system. Frankly, he's as guilty as an innocent Black man (many who served decades for crimes they did not commit).. The typical defendant cannot delay delay delay. The typical defendant did not appoint the judge who will handle his case. The typical defendant didn't appoint 3 Supreme Court Justices who have helped hold up accountability. The convicted felon both indicted (figuratively) and declared guilty, plus sentenced his 2016 opponent ("Lock Her Up!"), but when the system follows all the rules and finds him guilty, suddenly it's all UNFAIR! He has called the current President a criminal, despite there being no charges. In the past he demanded the Central Park Five be convicted and executed, despite DNA evidence they were innocent (but they were Black). Now the system treated him as equal under the law and found him guilty, and his lifelong sense of entitlement says that is somehow unfair. Too bad. Guilty. Convicted Felon.

If the cult didn't exist, the Repubs could have a cakewalk to the White House by choosing a non-convicted felon candidate. The cult runs too deep, however. Own goal. GUARANTEED the convicted felon will become even more deranged, violent and bizarre as we move forward. That is going to alienate more swing voters than the conviction itself. The cult is going to stay with him no matter what, just as members of his cult here are doing. Swing voters, however, are key. Had the convicted felon not installed his daughter-in-law as head of the RNC, rationality and pragmatism might have entered and Repubs would have dropped him and chosen Haley or DeSantis of someone who could beat Biden.
