I think lots of people care and this dooms whatever tiny chance he had of becoming president again.
I think lots of people care and this dooms whatever tiny chance he had of becoming president again.I mean, the guy was a known criminal in 2016 and nobody seemed to care.
Probably cuz he frequently beat the charges.
He also settled most civil suits with the condition of silence.
So yeah, that he is facing real charges right now and nobody cares isnt particularly surprising to me.

I'm not so sure about that. The entire platform and messaging of the Republican party at the Federal level since 2016 (and perhaps earlier) has been about the danger of voting for Democrats, rather than the value of voting for a Republican candidate. That's why the Republicans have been able to get batshit crazy candidates through, because they have so effectively convinced voters of the horrors of the Democratic party that even electing the biggest dirtbag Republican is preferable in their eyes.I think lots of people care and this dooms whatever tiny chance he had of becoming president again.
Yup he won’t serve any time behind bars. It’s going to be home confinement for him. But wonder if there’s a way to limit how far he can wander on his property? Imagine being forced to stay only in his living quarters on Mar A Lago and forbidden from using his golf course.The fact that he's a former POTUS means even if he's somehow convicted, it'll be a slap on the wrist!
He will be sticking his shit-covered thumbs in the air like he always does, pretending he's idolized.I'm waiting to see the walk of shame and how Trump is going to behave at that time. Would be fun to see him pull off a Roger Stone kind of shtick when it happens.
Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. Rom DeSaster probably wouldn't extradite him from Flowrida.It was just about 2 weeks ago Trump said he would surrender if indicted. Let's see if that holds up any better than his other promises.

Republicans generally only get batshit crazy candidates through in safe districts and even then the polling shows voters punish those candidates for having extreme views as they get a lower share of the vote than the partisanship/electoral environment would otherwise predict.I'm not so sure about that.

Being confined to what is basically a resort is not punishment, and it's certainly not punishment that any average citizen would get. There is a good possibility that Trump will end up in jail even over this after he posts something that threatens the DA, the presiding judge, or attempts to threaten or intimidate any of the jurors. This will result in having his bail revoked, and possible additional charges. He just can't help himself and has done this repeatedly, and has always gotten away with it. It's time he learns what 'fuck around and find out' means. If he is not jailed for this he will be for Georgia, J6, and the classified documents. He deserves twenty years in gen pop at Rikers and another twenty years at Guantanamo. FUCK TRUMP!Yup he won’t serve any time behind bars. It’s going to be home confinement for him.

Considering all of his potential rivals are running to kiss the ring and support him against this, I think he is going to easily beat all of them. It shows absolutely none of them have the balls to actually say anything bad about him. How are any of them going to win if they will not even take advantage of something like this?So. Anyone else a little bit worried about how this can be used to propel his 2024 bid to escape velocity.
This only proves the Republicans supporting him don't support the rule of law in this country. I had thought that at least some would be dumping Trump after all of his violations of the law. We are at this point in history because of a bunch of spineless Senate Republicans who refused to impeach Trump (twice) when he was obviously guilty. RIP GOPConsidering all of his potential rival are running to kiss the ring and support him against this, I think he is going to easily beat all of them.

They are experiencing severe cognizant dissonance at the moment. Talking points are being thrown at the wall this very moment to see which ones will stick.I'm surprised about Fox's response and news articles thus far. I thought Murdock was done with Trump. I guess not.
It's early. The first domino just dropped…Considering all of his potential rivals are running to kiss the ring and support him against this, I think he is going to easily beat all of them.

ETA: I'm only talking about the primaries. I think this does hurt him a lot in the general.
Republicans have been told for decades to believe their talking heads, not their own eyes, for decades. My In-laws who are mega republicans, don't really like Trump, but they also don't believe any of the negative stuff about him is true. It's all "fake" or "sensationalized" etc.This only proves none of the Republicans supporting him support the rule of law in this country.

Hey, CAPS LOCK is on.Tomorrow will be meme day
Sure many of us here would love this, there’s absolutely zero chance he’s going to be in an orange jumpsuit in gen pop.It's time he learns what 'fuck around and find out' means. If he is not jailed for this he will be for Georgia, J6, and the classified documents. He deserves twenty years in gen pop at Rikers and another twenty years at Guantanamo. FUCK TRUMP!
Yeah its thousands of years old but the technique works incredibly well.I'm not so sure about that. The entire platform and messaging of the Republican party at the Federal level since 2016 (and perhaps earlier) has been about the danger of voting for Democrats, rather than the value of voting for a Republican candidate. That's why the Republicans have been able to get batshit crazy candidates through, because they have so effectively convinced voters of the horrors of the Democratic party that even electing the biggest dirtbag Republican is preferable in their eyes.
C’mon, he said “deserves”.Sure many of us here would love this, there’s absolutely zero chance he’s going to be in an orange jumpsuit in gen pop.
how you know it's a genuine trump tweet/"truth":
1) indicated
2) caps lock on cruise control
edit: 3) casual racism
Speculation about why Wessenberg’s former daughter in law testified. So this is tax invasion.So CNN says, according to "sources familiar with the matter," that Trump is facing "30 counts for business fraud." That is far more than he could face based on the hush money issue alone. Anyone know what the rest of this is about?
Sure they do, as long as the perps don't look like them.This only proves the Republicans supporting him don't support the rule of law in this country. I had thought that at least some would be dumping Trump after all of his violations of the law.
