Sad part is, I know some people who, although I don't talk politics with, are almost certainly glued to the news and crowing about how The Walls Are Finally Closing In On Orange Man. They were raving about the "Jan 6 committee" show trial too. Some people are deranged.
But I'm glad that, if you believe the polling here, it's a minority. All these Trump cases are absolutely absurd, especially when you compare it to what we know other politicians and/or businessmen are doing. Trump's a narcissist, a grifter, a bit of a buffoon (an extremely charismatic and likeable one), and I'm sure he's done some underhanded stuff, but he seems squeaky clean compared to his peers.
Even if Trump did bad stuff...two things; what they're accusing him of they've got no evidence of and he almost certainly didn't do, and everyone else has done worse. So even if he's 100% guilty of what he's charged with, it's still a witch hunt due to unequal enforcement.
This trial is the worst of the bunch in that respect. Multiple prosecutors declined to charge and they kept trying until they found someone willing to pull the trigger.
I think the 'no victims but the state brought the case anyway, and the alleged victims testified on Trump's behalf' "business fraud" case takes the case on that front, personally.
Although I'll give you the 'his lawyer paid someone, and we say that should have been a campaign finance payment, when we've literally charged people for campaign finance fraud for doing what we're saying he should have done' case is also...REALLY FUCKING BAD.
Seriously, think about it in those terms. The GOVERNMENT is claiming President Trump should have PAID A PORNSTAR hush money with CAMPAIGN FUNDS...and is trying to fuck him over for not doing that. I believe they fined OBAMA for not doing what they're now trying to destroy Trump for.
"Joke" doesn't even begin to describe it.
Also, I have no clue about why I'm formatting it like this, but I'm just going to roll with it. Some is ITALICS, some is caps, deal with it.
That one mainly serves to demonstrate how transparently perfunctory justice in NY can be. They declared him guilty before the trial started.
It is annoying though how they play that shit non-stop at airports, gyms, and some office buildings.
You know that windows "feature" that puts news headlines on your Taskbar? You open it up and every MSM outlet has some anti-Trump headline. Every one. All the time.
Your typical normie, even the smarter ones, have no chance unless they sre outside the MSM bubble to one degree or another. It's why the left was obsessed with censoring wrong think on social media the minute they stole the election successfully.
YES exactly the same thing. It's all a constant stream of Big Brother messaging, and I don't want to black pill but the fact that nobody on the right has any solution for it is why we will lose long term. If you can't capture the media, education, and law, you are on the wrong side of history.
I go to none of those places, so I wouldn't know.
I should probably go to the gym.
You could, and surround yourself with thots, vegans and crossfitters. Or just go into the wilderness and pick things up, and put them down. As is tradition.
I hope I meet a bear, so I can lift him. Bears weight more than men, so it would be better for my PB in that case.
Careful around them bears, I hear the thots are getting chummy with bears now.
CNN pays to be on in those places.
Buddy of mine has been falling for the we got him now media narrative going on 8 years now it hilarious and sad
They don't seem to have the free time or money to do large-scale protests/marches like regressives have done for so many of their pet causes. Jan 6th doesn't completely excuse that.
If I go as far to take the charges against Trump at face value and as the whole and complete truth, it still looks like nothing more than anyone in DC does. This is the worst thing they can present to show me this guy is the most abhorrent criminal in the history of US politics? Holy shit, oh no Trump paid a stripper to be quiet. Is that even illegal? I mean yeah, I question his moral character at times. What is the alternative, Biden? Hahahaha yeah let's see which would I prefer, paid a whore or a lot of things covered up that appear to be pedophilia? Yeah, I'll take a thousand whores over that.
The TDS-afflicted see him like Al Capone, with this being his tax evasion trial. He's just such a sneaky bastard he was able to weasel out of punishment for all his past evil deeds - but we'll get him this time, no matter the crime.
A stripper threathening to reveal intimate information to get money is blackmail / extortion, which is a crime. But the victim would be Trump, then...
Everyone just takes selective prosecution as a given these days.
Like the people who assaulted, battered, and brandished a gun first at Kyle Rittenhouse.
They only went after the guy who defended himself.
Didn't they actually prosecute one of those dudes? Maybe I'm thinking of something else. But I thought they did for like having a gun or something.
Most people recognize that if he was really guilty the media would have 100,000 stories regarding it but funny how they never seem to have details of all these accusations.
All these trials are coming up as failures and if crooked NYC prosecutors can’t nail him, nobody can. Glad to see people are telling the media and the weaponized DOJ to go fuck themselves
Even if the affair accusations were true, which I doubt for the same reasons as razorfist, non-NPCs wonder what the alleged crime is even supposed to be here. Who is the victim? "Hush money" makes it sound like he was covering up some crime, but when you look into the details it's only that he supposedly used campaign money to pay a woman to agree to not talk to the media. Surely if that's illegal it's one of those campaign finance laws that only slaps you with a fine for most people. Why would someone as wealthy as Trump need to do that, and how would you prove it? Don't candidates loan themselves money from their campaigns all the time? (looking at you Bernie)
Meanwhile, these same people are covering up the blatant misuse of campaign funds by Fani Willis.
or menendez's entire existence.
i heard some retard on the tv whining about santos as if anyone cares about him outside of his ouster being hypocritical.
If you tell a conservative that someone used his money to try to get elected, they're not gonna get mad. Essentially, only leftists care about campaign finance law. Its imposition was supposed to be a leftist thing that would level the playing field between candidates. Which obviously didn't happen. They try to blame "Citizens united" , but that's just money finding an outlet. Like water finding a way through dam.
because it's a fake issue from like 10 years ago. everyone knows the only reason this is being done is to damage him in the election.
Honestly, I'm tired of looking at the "progressing news."
All I really want to look toward is the actual end. If in our favor, life actually goes on. If not, this country won't even make it to the next election.
Maybe because this is not as potentially impactful as other upcoming case(s) are to his 'electability?'
Next time you borrow snake person language and call them hamas demonstrators or pro-hamas please put it near the beginning of the post so people know that they really dont need to read the rest. It's not kind to waste people's time like that.
AW HELL NO YOU DID NOT JUST SUPPORT HAMAS HOW DARE YOU lmao
Oh yeah and hmmmmmm, I wonder who funded hamas in the years leading up to this conflict...
It's hilarious watching some people trying to ignore the fact that there are significant numbers of both pro-Hamas radicals and communist agitators in these "protests." In fact, when one of these riots or occupations gets broken up, they outnumber actual students and faculty.
And of the students that think they care about Palestine? They're mostly ignorant idiots who only care about Palestine because it's being oppressed by "white" Israel.
So your "demonstrators" are a combination of white haters, communists, and Islamists (with some significant overlap). Wow, such a great group to get behind.
Ironically the actual Islamists/Palestinians are the most legit party here. Americans protesting for either side are puppets. People here will invoke the NPC meme all day long but suddenly when the NPCs all align with an issue they care about, IT'S AN ORGANIC MOVEMENT YOU IMMORAL MONSTER THINK OF THE DEAD BABIES. Several usernames we all remember were like that over Ukraine v Russia too.
It is not hilarious seeing shills and poz. You seem to be functioning smugly and snugly within the expected parameters of true blue a cable tv news consumer. But hey congratulations on your heckin superior vantage point of the situation. Gosh I wish I could more confidently associate any form of dissent the state badjackets with terrorist groups, like you. I'm just so humbled and jealous of your inherently reliable perspective on this and all other primetime state mouthpiece narratives.
