    Yeah, the "1984" irony of this is really something to behold.

    But I hope that his hopelessly mentally and emotionally challenged lemmings buy as much of his merch as possible, for then they will have less money to contribute to any Republicans at all come General Election time.

    So, win-win!

    Also, in 1 year they will be saying: "My Messiah went to jail and all I got was a lousy T-shirt!"

    Ahhhh, gotta love those MAGA people. Always scraping the very bottom of the bell-curve.

    Why? By noting his mugshot and his 91 indictment points, all of which are cold, hard facts.

    We adults deal in cold, hard facts.

    Now, that may upset you, and you have every right to be upset if that's that turns you on, but facts are facts.

    Oh, I agree with you that none of this is good for the country, but EVERY SINGLE BIT of this was set in motion by one certain Donald Trump.

    HE chose to go illegal in order to try to flip the election, and in just so many ways.

    HE chose to threaten officials, poll workers, other politicians, oh the list is very long.

    HE chose to put the entire nation through post-election trauma from his lie on election night all the way to his total inaction for many hours whilst his minions attempted a violent, deadly insurrection that he personally egged-on on January 6th, 2021, and insurrection for which hundreds of treacherous, traitorous, unpatriotic MAGA sonsofbitches are now behind bars, and rightly so,.

    HE chose to steal classified documents from the US Government while unwillingly leaving office and then tried to hide said documents.

    HE paid off a porn star that he ****ed once for about 2 minutes, using campaign money to do it, in order to shut her up.

    None of this would have happened had he simply taken his lumps and admitted that he lost, fair and square. Then he could have left office with at least a modicum of dignity. Oh, and he would probably not have stolen classified documents if he were not to continue the illusion in his head that he is still somehow the President of the United States.

    The fault for every single iota of this ****ed up mess is his.

    Also, I am very glad that you would never vote for him. The rabbit never votes for the scorpion.

    In this case, it very much is one. Porn doesn't necessarily have to contain nudity to be 'arousing' lol(and to be blunt, I'm not aroused, hence the joke). But for six years, his detractors yearned for this moment. Indeed, it is a 'good reason' for the ages.

    Without conviction indictment is meaningless.

    Yet, what you keep missing, is that he did all that he will stand trial for, by his own doing. You are in deep denial if you are unwilling to acknowledge this.

    What he is alleged to have done, and even more then that, the argument will center around whether his actions were criminal by law. Prosecutors make the opening salvo(the indictment), the defense really gets to crack its knuckles during cross examination and in their defense rebuttal statements.

    One such example of this kind of legal court battle is Jack Smith's attempt to preempt this by claiming a conflict of interest with the latest witness. I suspect the judge will rule against him, because whether the witness is lying then or now is a key question, and the prosecution doesn't get to clean up what could be a potential problem for their case preemptively.

    Yet you still avoid the salient MAIN point in my post......he did this to himself by his OWN choices. Ask yourself why you so desperately feel the need to keep giving him free passes? Is he special or is it something else?

    Trump is sulking in his perp pic because he was hoping for a body cavity search.

    Giuliani eagerly volunteered but has been disbarred from serving as an officer of the court.

    Not once in the history of our Republic has a person been found not guilty of/on so many counts. The statistical probability of defendant Trump getting off scot-free on all 91 is surely 0%.

    I predict he will be found guilty on the vast majority of those felony counts, translating to a sum-total of over 200 years jail-time.

    He should have negotiated a plea-deal while the getting was good. His mistake.

    I recommend you take a law course or 100 before writing such malarkey.

    It is increasingly difficult for Trump's cult to rage against all the corroborated-evidence-and-sworn-testimony-based indictments in diverse venues, all the grand juries who deemed issuance of the criminal indictments to be in order, as well as the special counsel, district attorneys, judges, and other officers of the law.

    A plethora of Republicans intimately familiar with (and even complicit in) the accused's efforts to subvert American democracy and abrogate the will of the People have validated the prosecutions in all cases.

    Trump worshipers will whine in the media. It is of no merit in the courts where juries of his peers will dispassionately assess the facts.

    Most facts in politics are opinions, including legal opinions. I stand by the fourth grade behavior comment.

    A president of the USA is being criminally tried for what he said? Don't people realize this a scary time for our country. Trump didn't set a police car on fire, he didn't run into a store and loot it and run out, he didn't burn down a business, he didn't seize part of a city and not let the cops in, he didn't mug a little old lady and take her purse, he wasn't charged with selling drugs, he didn't car-jack a citizen, he didn't rob a 7-11, he didn't assault an elderly Asian, he didn't shoot up a black neighborhood, but some of those who did commit such crimes were released with no bond and some were not even charged.

    Trump always finds a way to make his opposition work for him and his campaign.
    When will they ever learn?

    Actually, multiple factors. 1) I admittedly don't want to share in the same Trump bashing as everyone else. Considering that it literally had a mental disorder named after it(TDS), it's something I'd rather not experience. 2) I do not think we can survive a situation liken that of the European Union or Brazil's recent experiences. That might work for them(and by work, I mean continual fractional political fighting.)

    But THIS country? Maybe it'll die down after dealing with those who would act improperly and we can pretend everything never happened. But historically speaking in the US, that's easier said then done.

    Nothing I wrote was inaccurate in the slightest. What the counsel asked for, is completely unrealistic and it's also unnecessary. It's hardly relevant that the witness had two lawyers. The only material fact at play is the accuracy of the witness, and the special counsel cannot erase that point(which is effectively what they're trying to do. Basically saying 'Yeah, this witness is unreliable but instead of the witness, it's actually the fault of having had council previously!'

    Were I presiding, I wouldn't entertain such an argument. The so-called conflict does not intervene in the germaneness of the argument.

    No.

    Facts are facts.

    Opinions are opinions.

    They are not the same.

    An opinion may be based upon or grounded in a set of facts or it may be completely fact-free or even perhaps somewhere between those two poles, but at the end of the day, opinions are not facts. And facts are not opinions.

    Also, just because you don't like a certain set of facts or the resultant outcomes, your dislike of said neither changes the veracity of established facts nor is it even salient.

    "Strawberry Cupcake" it is.



    "Why do prisoners have nicknames?"

    "Knowing and using nicknames (1) gives a sense of unity among prison peers, while (2) representing their individuality, and (3) facilitating communication among them. Nicknames can be friendly, show- ing peer approval and in-group unity. They can also be cruel and vicious."

    Yet, you keep making every excuse to justify that he should be treated above the law when multiple grand juries have recommended that he have his day in the court for his own doings.....no matter how you justify it in your mind, these cases are all of self chosen acts. You just keep running from those apples...and falling for the victim mentality you are being sold and apparently need to hear. He did these things to himself and others as well.
