Five major revelations from Trump’s federal indictment https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/4042968-five-major-revelations-from-trumps-federal-indictment/

I think that will become the predominant trend among conservative voters, to cut their losses and steer clear of him. I'm sure you've at least once posted in favor of Trump. I believe Trump won in 2016 because FBI director Comey put his finger on the scales by announcing that Clinton was still under investigation moments before the election. so to speak and within a time that this should not have happened anyway. The polls showed a drop from a winning position following this announcement. The public reaction to that news was still playing out up to the election.

I think it's time to trot out the Trump baby blimp again.

You don't seem to have a problem caring about other presidents being scoundrels. For most people that's the whole point and why he should not run for president again.

12m Americans believe violence is justified to restore Trump to power Two and a half years after the January 6 attack on the Capitol, an estimated 12 million American adults, or 4.4% of the adult population, believe violence is justified to restore Donald Trump to the White House. Though the number of adults who believe this has declined since the insurrection, recent survey data from the University of Chicago reveal alarming and dangerous levels of support for political violence and conspiracy theories across the United States. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/09/january-6-trump-political-violence-survey

We'll eventually find out what 12 rational minds infer. Other rational minds don't matter.

I replied to a question asking why people paid to study there.

I don't think he's lying somehow.

Right, like as if he'd said "I hope they don't try to hang Mike Pence". It was just a random comment with no ulterior motive or hidden meaning whatsoever.

Many of them swapped their guns and bombs for an orange jump suit recently.

I'm trying to understand how that happens. It's very reminiscent of Jim Jones. How do these false prophets convince people to destroy their own lives in his servitude?

In a new post on his Truth Social network, former President Donald Trump appeared to undermine his suggestion that the FBI planted evidence during its Mar-a-Lago raid. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-appears-undercuts-claim-fbi-planted-mar-a-lago-documents-2022-9

It was the icing on the cake for me. Trump's indictment made my day. I'm a great believer in karma.

Former President Donald Trump's disrespect for the security of classified information really amounts to a disrespect for the men and women behind that classified information who put their lives on the line for the country, argued former Bill Clinton Secretary of Defense William Cohen on CNN Friday. And as far as dealing with our men and women who serve us, he's in Arlington National Cemetery looking over the gravesites with John Kelly, General John Kelly, whose son is buried there and said, what was in it for all these people?" added Cohen. "What was in it was the fight for democracy, which is something he apparently doesn't really understand." https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-disrespect-national-security/

They must have taught alchemy at Trump University.

Same old conservative disdain for the law or notion that it only applies to the common people. "Let them eat cake".

Thank God for the rule of law.

Had Trump even tried to declassify those documents or indicated that he would remove them there would have been and instant section 25 invoked I believe.

You explicitly referred to a claim that the last time this occurred was 4 milliojn years ago. My reference to an open shipping passage was a commonly used indicator to define "ice free" in the arctic, otherwise some pedantic people here will claim that since it's not absolutely ice free then it's not ice free for the purposes of any meaningful discussion.

A strong message to the bigots that straight people aren't all on their side.

That was the best part of the Jan 6 insurrection attempt. It was a wake up call for the FBI and CIA and military to weed out the far right and the ring leaders of the white supremacist movements were jailed along with many of their acolytes. It will be much harder to gee up the useful idiots this time. They see what happened last time.

Art least one Republican house rep has also tweeted a call for civil war.

That's highly tenuous. Claiming that it happened 4 million years ago so implying it's part of a natural cycle is just ridiculous. The "unprecedented" means that the arctic has never been sufficiently ice free to allow shipping passage since ships were a thing. The threat of an ice free arctic is made worse by the fact that it triggers a tipping point. The ice will no longer reflect the sun and so lead to even faster levels of global warming.

They read his guarantees of a decent job.

He doesn't need the money? Then why did he send out begmails 30 minutes after indictment. These were obviously cued to go before the indictment.
