Is your identity politics so strong or your love of this man so deep that you can just ignore this type of behaviour? For gods sake this man has been conning and stiffing people all his life, to include his OWN charity. Do you just ignore this or is your own standards so low that you see this as perfectly acceptable behavour? Can't you see that this and his other, very obvious character flaws make him unfit to even hold public office never mind the presidency? Honestly I'm really interested in just what is it about this guy that makes you suspend reality and ignore integrity, honesty and severe character flaws? Do you not think a POTUS should have integrity, honesty and standards? Do you honestly believe he is emotionally qualified to become the next POTUS? What you say is done everyday in America and elsewhere and it is not a crime. Trump has said many times over that he did not do this. So lets let the courts prove otherwise in which case it is between Trump and he's family not the courts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is common knowledge. https://www.npr.org/2018/05/02/607943366/giuliani-says-trump-did-know-about-stormy-daniels-payment But lets just say for arguments sake he is innocent on this one. What about all the things he HAS admitted to? When he defrauded his own charity for example? He admitted this or did you just conveniently forget that one? You are happy supporting a guy who defrauded army veterans, children in need, the United Negro College Fund, and even the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum? What does that say about Trump and what does it say about you? . 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 1 hour ago, KhunLA said: Y'all are Trump silly if you think there's a snowball's chance in hell for a conviction, let alone any jail time. At his age, he could be dead before the appeal process is done ???? New York grand jury only requires 12 of 16 jurors to agree there is a case to be made. Good luck finding 12 people to convict in criminal court. IF it makes it to trial. DISTRACTION Why do you think that an actual criminal case is a distraction?. I mean would it make any difference if he had not been a former president and was just Donald Trump the business man being prosecuted for the crimes he was indicted on. Remember he was not indicted because he was the former president or for the fact he is running for the presidency. He is being prosecuted for crimes he is charged with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or in this case 34 counts of “Falsifying business records in the first degree” you do realize hillary did this also with the russian report she organized and the way she paid for it with campaign funds in the same district(claimed as lawyer fees), it is already being reported so will be interesting to see of bragg will do the same with her, also the statute of limitations for this is 2 years so a bit past it. While this is only for some of the 34 counts the others are federal and not state and the federal side is saying there is nothing to see, very big clutch at straws and will open the gates for republicans doing the same thing to democrats now in retaliation. This was a very stupid move, should have left it for the other charges around the country but bragg wants to be re elected and was following his bosses orders, will turn into a big mistake on the dems side 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Misty Posted April 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2023 11 minutes ago, KhunLA said: DOJ didn't bother for 2 yrs ... ... nuff said Didn't bother? More like DOJ under Bill Barr directly interfered in the case, preventing it from going anywhere. Barr acted as if he was Trump's personal lawyer. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/09/09/former-us-attorney-dishes-how-he-held-line-against-trump-white-house/ "Barr’s tenure as attorney general, beginning in February 2019, made things even worse. In September of that year, Berman refused to sign the DOJ’s legal briefs in Trump’s subpoena battle with Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance. Vance was investigating the role of Trump and the Trump Organization in payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal shortly before the 2016 election. The DOJ was planning to file a statement of interest containing the audacious argument that a sitting president could not be criminally investigated, a view the Supreme Court would later reject. Insisting that his office was not “Trump’s personal lawyer,” Berman refused to sign the statement of interest, but the DOJ persisted." 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
