If he wins despite the massive “election interference” he faces, he is fully justified in unleashing the vengeance that is so prominent a part of his 2024 message. If he seems to lose … it’s clearly grounds for whatever extra-constitutional redress he and his supporters choose.
This was all true before she opened her mouth. He's been laying the foundation for that for 3 years. He continues to, despite his indictments for doing so.
GOP is going to do as many despicable things as they can, no matter what. Might as well prosecute an obvious and blatant criminal like Trump. I don’t think we can afford not to lock him up.
It would seem logical that Trump would want to demonstrate - once and for all in a court of law - that he is innocent of any wrongdoing as soon as possible so as to not have it hanging over him in the race. Mr. Smith is merely offering him that opportunity.
You know the death cult won't stop at locking people up. Not for long, anyway. There are actual Nazis among them. It's only a matter of time 'til they start gassing people.
I don’t think any of the gravy seals have it in them to actually take on the government. Soon as they see their buddies torn in half by a 50cal it’s going to blow the fight right out of them. Sure, sure, it’s all “I’ll die for my country!” but you put a gun to their head and say, “America needs your life now”, not one in ten will have the courage of their conviction.
I used to doom-scroll to see what bullshit embarrassment Trump was going to put our country through on any given day. Now I’m doom scroll hoping to read his obituary.
it's only been nearly 4 years since the crime, surely he should be taking it a bit slower, we still have a few years left in the statute of limitations.
As an outsider of US politics and stuff, it appears to me that all those charges against Trump seem to happen at the same time now. Is this intentional or simply because that’s how long it took? I guess it will be very expensive for Trump and it will also most likely result in him getting confused by his own lies in front of court. Let’s hope he will finally be prosecuted for at least some of his crimes and won’t be able to run for president again. He made enough damage to the US and the world in general.
Merrick Garland dragged his feet, more concerned with accusations of partisanship than the public good. FTA:
From the outset of his tenure atop the Justice Department, Attorney General Merrick Garland evinced little interest in mounting any such investigation, fearing that the GOP’s permanently aggrieved MAGA base would view it as a weaponized, partisan effort to hound Trump into political irrelevance.
I don’t think money is a concern for trump, given how much of it he extracted from American tax payers through Secret Service bills, and missing covid relief funds.
I don’t think he’s gonna try to lie that much at this point, at least not lies meant to portray innocence . I think he’s gonna focus on outrage, riling up the whackos who think this behavior is acceptable and warranted. I imagine we’ll hear a lot about the usual stuff like “witch hunt”, “deep state”, etc. He’s gonna be pretty blatant about his motives cause he knows he’s got. He will attempt to incite violence and perhaps even squeak out a few whatabouts to try and drag a few other corrupt rich people down with him. I dunno, it’s gonna be interesting, sadly.
Taxes aren’t the only major economics issue. Trump opposed NAFTA which was big in regards to the working class vote. Biden and the Democrats failed to support the rail workers last year who threatened to strike over paid sick leave. Obviously Trump’s camp is wrong on this and will make a terrible administration but Democrats are not exactly as pro-labor as they could be either.
Biden wanted to avoid the disruption that a rail strike would bring, especially when we were trying to deal with inflation, but like many things, they quietly got it done.
Sounds about right… pretty sure unions only got the concessions like a 5 day work week because they were fighting so hard for it, that there started to become grumbling about owning the means of production.
No, they ended up with 28% of their stated request. 4 days. 4. Literally every single employee, full time or part time, in my entire state gets more than that.
I also don’t see anything about the safety issues that they were planning to strike against, which is not a small issue.
Or, because if they start shouting it from the rooftops, people will point out that the Biden administration agreement gives them 4 days out of the 14 they were fighting for, and addresses none of the safety issues that they were fighting for.
