And I'll say it again: The outcome of any of these criminal trials to me pales against the notion of whether Trump will again be elected President in 2024 I'm the opposite., If he gets elected again I don't care. That will be the will of the people. Seeing justice done is far more important. Also, not seeing a constitutional crisis if he tries to pardon himself before the trials are completed would seem to be of paramount importance I would have thought. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks gaunt, probably lost some weight, not like the Donnie we used to...hate (and still do.) Better watch out for an impending heart attack though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Walker88 Posted August 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2023 3 hours ago, SunnyinBangrak said: Pure tyranny. I wonder whether anyone cheering the weaponization of the justice sytem is basing their sheer loathing of the man - and justification for this unprecedented coordinated attack on an ex Pres - on facts, rather than a well crafted narrative that paints him as an immoral and corrupt psychopath? Somehow I doubt it. And it was 'tyranny' when AL Capone was indicted. More 'tyranny' when Jeffrey Dahmer was indicted. Yet more when the Feds went after the Unibomber. Since you apparently need a reminder: 1) trump stole TS/SCI, SAP, Codeword, HCS and RD documents. He had zero right to them, and it is puzzling what a country club owner and wedding planner needs with those docs. Oh, and he cannot 'declassify in his mind'. There is a system requiring an extensive paper trail. Then trump lied about returning them. 2) trump was intimately involved---according to his own (R) appointed officials---in the scheme to send fake electors to the Electoral College, in lieu of actual votes. He also dog whistled his goobers to DC, knowing full well they would behave badly, which is to say as trumpers. While his terrorist goobers attacked the US Capitol and threatened to hang the VP, trump sat on his bloated behind and did absolutely nothing for 180 minutes. 3) trump tried to pressure election officials and the SecState of Georgia to 'just find me 11,780 votes', while his co-conspirators threatened public poll workers 4) trump paid off Stormy Daniels so she wouldn't---inter alia---say publicly before the election "Not frreakishly small, but well below average'. trump sat back and let his bagman---Michael Cohen---go to jail for following trump's order. Rule of Law is not tyranny. It is the US system. If you don't like it, perhaps you prefer weaponization of the military, like Mr. Prigozhin just found out about. 4 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Walker88 Posted August 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2023 16 minutes ago, SunnyinBangrak said: Trump didnt try overthrowing an election, he was sure he won. Just like Stacy Abrams. Worth noting your democrats spent 2016-2020 denying Trumps legitimacy and even impeaching him twice on what turned out to be falsehoods. When the left try overthrowing elections its all fine and dandy. If you read the indictment re 6 January, his own (R) appointed staff testified to the grand jury that trump knew he lost. He's just a self-serving child who has zero appreciation for democracy and US ideals. He will have plenty of time to think over his wrongdoing, because the cases against him are pretty airtight. The classified documents case is a slam dunk. RICO in Georgia looks pretty good, too, and that carries a mandatory 5 years, which likely means life for an obese 77-year old. 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Russia would have invaded Ukraine if Trump had been in power? If it hadn't been for these indictments, Trump would be miles ahead in the polls, it would have been a non event. The Dems were desperate and knew their only chance would be to plan an all out attack. Stormy Daniels, lol, this has been around for over 6 years, strange it is just being thrown at him now. They could have tried to hide this undemocratic attack, the US public are not fools. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump did try to overthrow the election, and it's irrelevant if he thought he won. However here's another opportunity for you to give sourced facts. Prove that democrats were denying the legitimacy of the 2016 election. Which candidates refused to acknowledge defeat up to and beyond the inauguration. Provide links to the court cases attempting to overturn the election results and the mob invading the Capitol to prevent the certification of the 2016 election. Identify the falsehoods the impeachments were based on. C'mon, show us your facts! Edited August 25, 2023 by heybruce 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Walker88 Posted August 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2023 As I read comments on various media and social media as the Cult bends over pretzel-like to defend their messiah, I am reminded how accurate Hillary was about trump's cult. In fact, she was somewhat generous in only going so far as to call them "Deplorables". From a purely economic prospective (putting aside for a moment the immorality of a Cult that thinks democracy only applies when one's candidate wins), analysis of the Counties trump carried in the election produce per capita GDP at only 11% the rate of Counties trump lost. Looking at the major States trump carried, this is no surprise, though the % almost makes trumpistan look worse than Venezuela. States like WV, KY, TN and MS has the highest per capita rate of Social Security Disability Insurance, and they are major 'takers' from the Federal Budget, whereas the bills are paid by Blue States like CA, NY, NJ and MA. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy could have been a bit more discrete about it. And yet you can not specify any charges that are politically motivated and lacking in evidence.
