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.
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.
