It's hard to say about his motivation but one theory is that he's always been a grifter, he considered everything he took as his own personal property and potential assets for later sales for massive amounts of cash (or trade for favors, payback for favors). Only suckers and losers don't take full advantage of such opportunities. The well being of the USA was never his thing; as an extreme narcissist the well being and WEALTH being of him and his family brand is everything. Being president didn't change his character. A recent example is how he buried his recently departed ex-wife in a place to create a massive tax loophole.

Actually he is talking about an entirely different issue than what a few members here have been complaining about AD NAUSEUM. Maher is right about this, but again, a completely different issue. The best actor for the role should be cast regardless of the actor's identities.

Who told you?

Ridiculous

OFF TOPIC

If this is what finally sinks the insurrectionist grifter it will be like getting another mob boss Al Capone on taxes. We'll take it.

Equating anti fascist anti Trump intellectual Rushdie to reality tv star Trump is too funny.

Right wing domestic terrorism is the much bigger problem. https://news.yahoo.com/right-wing-extremists-responsible-for-majority-of-deadly-terrorist-attacks-181352019.html?

I guess the recent news is very triggering for some.

Deflection is a dish best served very old?

It is remarkably delicious.

To fans of Truth Social that is.

Detrumpification of the cult can't come soon enough.

Pretty good president? Never mind the insurrection. He's basically an active enemy of the rule of law and the constitution. He is beginning to face consequences.

Now I don't have to watch Fox.

Yeah he may present as a milquetoast but he is a force to be reckoned with.

She cooperated. No equivalence.

He just divided his own country and moved it towards authoritarianism and inflamed domestic right wing terrorists. America First!

The ignore list is your friend.

Which is what the topic is about.

The vast majority of the Trump fans believe the Big Lie. It's tragic that one of the two parties of consequence in the U.S. has been hijacked by pro autocracy, anti democracy right wing extremists.

Also impeachment trials in the senate are not criminal trials. They are political trials. The republicans tragically remained loyal to their dear leader and they had the votes. They could have put the grifter to bed easily back then but they opted to continue with the circus. There are never any criminal penalties possible from an impeachment conviction and so far not one president has been convicted in the senate (although Nixon would have been but wisely resigned).

You're replying to a member who openly admits he hasn't been following this closely at all. It's like debating the January 6th hearings with a Trump cult member that refuses to watch them. Basically a black hole.

He won't say he doesn't condone it.

In a civil case which this is, taking the 5th CAN be interpreted as guilt. He's gonna pay BIGLY! But he dodges prison ... for now.
