trump expects to be arrested on Tuesday

[Roller]

I do not want him to run again. It just brings the circus to town and we don't need that.

But if Trump is the nominee and the Dems nominate Biden or some other Progressive, I will hold my nose and vote for him. Won't be happy about it, but won't be happy about another 4 years of Biden or Harris or some other Progressive. So kind of in no man's land here.

Knowing everything you do about what Trump has done, pre-, during, and post-presidency, do you really think another four years at the helm would be better for the country than having Biden or another "progressive" as President? What, specifically, would lead you to think this is a rational course of action?

 

[Cmaier]

Couple of reasons.

First, Hillary and the DNC did the exact same thing. They misclassified the Steele Dossier as "legal expenses" when they weren't. But instead of being indicted, they paid a $113K fine.

Second, the DOJ decided not to prosecute this. So if the DOJ doesn't think there is much there, why is a DA in NY doing it?

And it is just a misdemeanor which will carry no jail time. Now there is a way that it can be elevated to a felony, but the DA will have to prove that the misclassification was deliberate and was done to cover up a crime. Most legal pundits don't think he will see a day in jail from this.

Since when does the DOJ have any jurisdiction to prosecute the laws of the state of NY? Whether or not he violated any federal laws, he sure seems to have violated NY laws.

And, as it turns out, there are several NY felonies in play here, so not sure where you are getting the misdemeanor stuff from.

If grand juries and prosecutors have determined through investigations (and possess supporting evidence/testimony) trump violated NY state laws, should he be prosecuted? Or is he entitled to a pass being above the law?

Two simple questions, should you care to answer them. Thank you.

They've been clear, Trump is above the same laws everyone else is subject to. The best they can do is makestraw man arguments to compare other politicians for fictitious crimes in "what about" scenarios.

Once again, the entire party is owned by Donald Trump and likely will be until the day he dies from the looks of it. It's hard not to feel for those who want a more sane alternative.

JFC, is this a joke? Man, you have to turn off the Fox News bubble and look at the real world for a little while.

No, but he does have a habit of saying inappropriate things. Call them gaffes if you will.

Do you really want him out there in an environment that his handlers can't control? Or Harris out there with her word salad and horrible cackle?

Can't take you serious when you make such partisan and ridiculous statements, you guys lost to WH and took a bath in the midterms, you've never seen such sore losers. But yeah, keep this line of attack about Biden's basement and handlers, seems to be working out well for the party in general.

What Trump has done doesn't really factor in it that much. I suspect it really doesn't for the Dems when it comes right down to it.

Same as a college recruiting a star player who has had issues. They recruit him anyway because he will help the team. I mean the guy who brought the gun to the person who shot the girl in Tuscaloosa is still playing for Alabama and might very well help them win a title. So what he did is ignored by the school. We all have things we are willing to overlook.

I have asked this before, but haven't ever really gotten an answer, so I will try again. "What of Trump's policies hurt you? Did any of them help? Were you better off financially then or now?

As for Biden, I don't think he is calling the shots. Mock me all you want on this, but it's what I truly believe. At least with Trump, you knew if he said, it was what he was thinking and not because someone told him to say it.

I think the transgender thing has gone off the rails. It started as people wanting to be able to live their lives as they pleased (which I am fine with) to thinking it is alright to mutilate the genitals of pre-teens (which I am not). The economy is a mess. Inflation is starting to really affect people in negative ways. Maybe if the administration had not hidden behind "it's transitory" and done somehting about it sooner, it could have been muted somewhat. But they were so afraid of admitting it existed for fear of giving the GOP a talking point that they didn't act.

Watching an 80 year old man fumble with what he says is not partisan. Watching him wander around looking lost or falling up the stairs for the nth time is not partisan. Watching him get mad at a reporter who has asked a legitimate question is not partisan.

What is partisan is calling for Trump to take a cognitive test, but not Biden. Fair is fair don't you think?

Trump is 4 years younger and if I cared even a little bit I could dig up dozens of clips of him saying things that bring his mental ability into question.

What's telling here is, again, you only care about one side when it suits you. Honestly, in many ways it's like arguing with a child who simply can't look at anything objectively, sorry to make it personal but man you have to see just how ridiculously juvenile this sounds.

Maybe if trump in early 2019 took his national security advisors seriously warning him about covid creating a pandemic the likes of which we haven't seen in 100 years, rather than intentionally lying claiming the 15 cases we had (a lie) would disappear within a couple of days, and instead took the virus seriously, we wouldn't be where we are now having 1+ million covid deaths and a destabilized economy.

And because of this, he took a cognitive test.

I'm waiting for Biden to do the same...................

I can't really argue that. He didn't do everything he could have or should have. But when he did do something, like banning travel from China, he was called a xenophobe. So he couldn't win no matter what he did.

We are now finding out that basically both side have lied to or misled us the people. So no one really has clean hand on this.

Who called him a xenophobe? Random people? Or was that the official position of a political party?

It's one thing to take issue with his policies but bashing his age is childish, nobody in this age group is going to be 100%. Besides, nothing he can do would ever change your mind anyway so why even bother with that line of attack?

I think watching right wing media in a bubble radicalizes that base of Republicans, they can't think for themselves, take marching orders and talking points from pundits and cannot look at anything objectively. FWIW those who are in the middle, that decide elections, are above such petty attacks from either side.

 

[Renzatic]

It may be a lot of things, but since having sex with her isn't a crime, paying her hush money isn't illegal.

Paying hush money to a porn star isn't illegal. Writing off the hush money given to a porn star as a legal expense, then recouping the loss on your tax returns that year might be.

Basically, he falsified business records to get a kickback on his investment.

Actually I used to like Biden. Probably 1990's Biden.

And I would take Clinton (Bill) as President tomorrow. I think our government as a whole worked very well when he was in office.

Can’t argue with your beliefs. You believe in an old white man who lives in the sky and runs our lives; you believe that there is an Illuminati telling Biden what to say and do. We disagree (on both of these beliefs of yours).

Trump did not take a cognitive test. I won’t go into all of it, but the whole “man, woman, person, camera, tv” thing was like saying you had a vaccine because the doctor stuck a needle in your arm (with no medication attached).

 

[GermanSuplex]

And because of this, he took a cognitive test.

Yeah, we know. His doctors have never seen anyone that goddamn healthy and smart in their lives, they asked if they could run tests on him and his self-proclaimed “big brain”. The man is a total dolt and has to be the certifiably dumbest man to ever hold public office. He probably is firing on all cylinders though, which on its best of days is like a toy train gone off the plastic tracks. So it makes no difference, really.

I get why Biden is an easy target, he IS very old and flubs a lot. You think he may not be calling the shots. That’s based on nothing, but let’s take that at face value. The other GOP god is Ronald Reagan, whose decline was actively kept from the public, but other than Trump, that’s their other idol. Do you guys actually listen to any of Biden’s speeches where he’s perfectly sharp and cogent, joshing with reporters and staff, biking, getting around in public, or do you just watch the highlight reels on Fox? I can tell you I was grossly fascinated with Trump and every speech was a highlight reel. The man uses hyperbole, incessant bragging and lying in lieu of any substance and without exposing knowledge of basically anything.

Concerns for Biden’s mental state would ring a lot more sincere if not it coming mostly from the party who elect people like MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, etc. I would match their current mental faculties against any member of the dems - including Biden. (I’ll grant you Feinstein, but that’s it!)

Anyways, I have to wait until Wednesday for this criminal con to get arrested? I was hoping he’d be right about something and get his mugshot plastered over the world on Tuesday!

/end Monday rant.

I have no problem with that, though. The guy who wants to be top-dog-I-control-everything is the guy who should not be in the WH. I want the guy who listens to other people, not the guy who shouts at them.

The irony that cops are the most radicalized of all MAGA supporters is not lost here. Go ahead and eat your own.
