Before they impeach Biden they need to impeach Hillary! Between her sloppy email organization and the death and destruction she inflicted on southern California last week she needs to be locked up!... #FoxNews

The 91 high crimes and felony charges...aka serious violations of the LAW...does not take a backseat to the side job...aka sideshow/freakshow. The PEOPLE of the USA, against whom these crimes have been committed, also have rights. Two of those is the right to a speedy trial and a little something called justice, about which this "person" knows nothing, but is about to become very familiar.

Generally the same people who decry that there's any valid case to be made against Trump despite all the evidence. believe that somehow, somewhere, sometime there will be  incriminating evidence produces against Biden.

Documented!

The simple reason you feel this is one sided is because the majority of folks are on to the conn trump has a track record and most folks aren’t buying his lies anymore.they realize how he has betrayed America and utterly disgraced the office he is corrupt most folks see it,it’s so obvious the question becomes why would anyone support this obviously corrupt individual 

Substitute the names of the protagonists and you come to the realization that truth must prevail and the search for that truth is the responsibility of unbiased journalists

91 indictments were not handed down by journalists.

The hammer has been dropped. Trump's Jan 6th case trial date set for 4th March 2024. Prosecution wanted Jan 2024 but Trumps defense wanted April 2026.

 

Trump’s Jan. 6 trial raises the stakes for the Florida presidential contest

Trump says he has proof of his innocence, voter fraud, and that they're out to get him.

 

He should want the trial tomorrow to clear everything up.

 

No living republican says he's innocent. They just say he's being treated "unfairly".

I dunno, Potential bribery. Deliberate destruction of the American borders, allowing the BLM riots to pass without a criminal investigation of the democratic cities allowing them ? Lying to the public about his son, lying to the public about russian dossiers. Failure to indict ANY democrats that said the election was stolen by trump, Is Trump perfect - no, far from it, but he is no worse than Biden who is now openly trying to use the DOJ and FBI to stop his biggest rival. How do we know this is the case ? Because NONE of the cases would fall after the election. Not one case have they looked at it politically and seen the election is coming and the prosecution could wait until after - if they did not fear him getting back in, why the hurry ? He would still be there after the next election.

 

All bull <deleted>. Let accountability decide the truth please and leave justice  to the juries.

As a neutral (I dislike both Trump and Biden), it does appear that the sheer number and the timing of charges against Trump are aimed at derailing his political ambitions and allow Biden to win again at the next election.

 

Weaponizing the justice system against political enemies used to be a practice reserved for the likes of Thailand and Myanmar. The US under Biden appears to be in a race to join these types of countries. A race to the bottom. Sad times.

I completely agree with you, the one-sided anti-trump bias on this site is ridiculous - and I do not mean the people commenting on the post , who even though I disagree with them politically I would fully support them having the right the say what they believe politically.

 

When you have a site that is at least 99 to 1 anti one party it makes the entire site less worthy of news and more noteworthy of being more left wing media.

Indeed.

 

It does appear to have taken on the characteristics of an echo chamber.

So a former President of the US facing multiple trials for almost 100 indicted crimes shouldn’t be the main story?

Actually weaponizing the Justice Department against personal and political foes was a trick Trump

himself played.

 

Throwing Michael Cohen in prison for exercising his first amendment rights by writing a book (critical of Trump) being just one example.

 

Announcing faux investigations into Hilary Clinton on the eve of the 2016 election being another.

You're preaching to the converted. I dislike Trump and believe he acts inappropriately on occasion.

 

I don't share your blindness to the behavior of Biden and his accomplices/family.

[bignok]

Biden is the worst leader ever from any country. Anyone who can't see that has no credibility as a functioning human being.

[LaosLover]

I, an almost-Tory, Biden-type, raised a kid who became a Marxist professor at a name English Uni.

 

He had a sweet gig pitching easy A's to various Gwen's and Toby's, until an influx of Chinese students killed his deal by calling him out as an improperly doctrinaire. What smoothed things over? A's for all!

 

To posit Marxists as a threat in this world is like being afraid of men from Mars.

"I dislike Trump and believe he acts inappropriately on occasion."

"Inappropriately"? I see you're taking the gloves off.  And "on occasion" to describe how frequently he behaves in such a manner? Now you've gone too far.  Please dial it down a lot or some of us might question your claimed status of being a "neutral" observer.

ASEANnow coverage of all things Trump has become a little tiresome to the point that it could reasonably stated that a partisan approach is evident. Could we have an even handed real journalistic cover on the dramas facing the USA? The president, himself, is heading towards impeachment and the silence is deafening 

There is no more possibility of being "even-handed" about trump than there would be a debate on whether the sun rises in the East or West.

 

Also, a kid who robs a 7-11 cannot subsequently declare he's running for POTUS and expect courts to adjust their schedule to suit him.

 

trump should not have stolen classified documents (open and shut case). He should have behaved in a way that got him indicted for trying to overthrow US democracy. He shouldn't have told his bagman to pay off Stormy.

 

His problems are 100% of his own making. 100%.

I could dial it off the chart if I wished to (I don't) but since you share Chomper's blindness to Biden's faults (or more accurately refuse to acknowledge those which you do see), it would be a waste of time.

 

Since you don't have any counter arguments to my real position, you will continue to create a false position for me and proceed to argue vociferously against that ????. A form of madness? Quite possibly. Fun to watch you jumping through hoops though...

We have plenty of evidence of your real position. And it's clearly hard right wing. Your silly and baiting generalizations about liberals is proof enough of that.

Boo hoo.  Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Is there anything or anybody on the planet that trump doesn't blame for all his problems and whine about?

 

Newsflash:

 

  If trump would have immediately returned the classified docs like biden and pence did  rather than lie about it and try to hide docs time and again for 18 months after being asked politely to return them there would never have been a document case.

 

If trump had accepted the election results that were verified over and over via recounts and reviews almost all done by republicans and proved valid he could have gone to mar a largo and there would never have been an attempted coup or a riot at the capitol.

 

If trump had not tried to coerce and meddle in Georgias election after being assured over and over by republican officials there was no fraud he could be playing golf without a worry in the world.

 

The bottom line is that almost all of trumps current legal problems were brought about by trumps own poor choices....but rather than accept it like a man he whines like a 4 year old that didn't get the ice cream he wanted.  Boo hoo.

This thread is about Trump's trial date and has NOTHING to do with Hillary or Biden's son or anyone else. Stop deflecting and talk about the 91 criminal charges.

Pretending that you are neutral in this is laughable.
