Trump is currently running for the republican nomination against other Republicans. There are plenty of Republicans who are considering voting for someone other than Trump. But for some very sick reasons Trump does seem the inevitable nominee.

The republican party the party led by fascist trump is not fit to govern.

Yeah that's kind of what I thought. So if he risks a jury he'll have to hope at least one juror ignores the instructions. It happens.

Depressingly fascist Putin loving Florida man's words have real world life and death consequences even though he holds no office. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/12/politics/trump-ukraine-russia-warning/index.html "CNN — Donald Trump may have just put Ukraine on the clock. The ex-president’s refusal to say whether he wants President Volodymyr Zelensky to win the war after Russia’s unprovoked invasion – along with his absurd claim that he could end the conflict in 24 hours – escalated the prospect that Ukraine’s destiny will rest in the hands of US voters next year. The Republican frontrunner’s comments, in a CNN town hall meeting in New Hampshire, was the latest sign that the politics of the war in the US could become more strained as the 2024 campaign ramps up, creating new pressure on Zelensky’s coming offensive to deliver a decisive blow in the second year of the conflict."

I agree it wasn't intended. His problem now is about the details of the New York law and whether the jury instructions allow considering intentions. If not it might be smarter to take a plea deal. Believe it or not I have sympathy for the accused. No good deed goes unpunished.

The point is to try harder to avoid to kill people unless it's legit self defense.

Racists felt they could be more open about it but that hasn't really stopped. His fascism has inflicted a very long lasting social infection.

Depending on his story and the evidence he has a decent chance of acquital by a jury. But sorry civilized societies of laws can't condone vigilante justice. A man is dead. That deserves the law's attention.

You sound like you support intentional murder.

As he said he needs to be charged. But whether he needs to be convicted or not is another question TBD.

Tragedy for the victim. Tragedy for the accused. I assume he was trying to do a good deed. But it backfired. But he still must be charged.

One word: CRIMEA!

My understanding of this event was that the deal Trump made including allowing the CNN host to fact check and question him. Otherwise as he didn’t face any Republican challengers and had a super friendly audience it would have just been another fascist trump propaganda rally.

I want to point out the obvious because some people don't get the obvious. Jews or really any group of people are not a monolith. In this story you're hearing about some specific Jewish organizations having a problem with this sale with the reasons given. It does not follow that all or most Jews would feel the same way.

Charming.

Alcohol is very physically addictive. Weed when addictive is much more psychological. Alcohol is massively more of a threat to public health than weed.

He's mentally deranged.

You can abuse anything. You can abuse milk. Cannabis carries much less risk than alcohol. Keep it legal.

Of course I do.

You can know that Putin stole Crimea and more recently invaded Ukraine trying to capture Kyiv and happily failed. Now it's a different kind of WW1 style war. You can know that neither Ukraine, NATO, or the USA invaded Russia. Your POV reflects typical Kremin propaganda -- truths can't be known.

Consensual? You know better than the jury, huh? This was a civil case with a lower bar than a criminal case. Chances of a successful appeal are very remote.

Putin has openly stated that he can never accept independent Ukrainian national identity. To Putin Ukraine is Russia. He stole Crimea in 2014 and fomented regional struggles in the east. NATO is a DEFENSIVE force. It has never threatened the sovereign borders of Russia. The more recent Russian invasion of Ukraine which continues to have genocidal intentions was a war of choice by Putin. He foolishly didn't understand the resolve of the Ukrainian people, their desire to be independent of Russia, the strength if their distinct national identity, and he predicted NATO including the U.S. would easily cave (as they did regarding Crimea). He made a big mistake. Ironically probably the biggest contributor to the strength of Ukrainian national identity and the expansion and strengthening of NATO is Putin himself! Some people like Trump call him brilliant. Not so much. His actions result in the exact opposite of what he wants.

So help educate people to use wonderful ganja in moderation. Sorted.

Biden has been a great leader in the struggle to defend Ukraine against Russian aggression. Trump worshipped Putin and still does. Putin help get Trump elected. That kind of thing is very important to Trump. Bolton sheds light on why Putin didn’t invade Ukraine under Trump (msnbc.com)

That would be a much bigger punishment for Putin. Trump would be with one of his top heroes. Putin would be with a useful idiot who he has zero respect for.
