He is facing several other criminal cases. He already has been convicted on 34 felony counts in New York in relation to a hush-money payment [in his election interference case].
We are 8 years into this and the media still constantly tries to downplay what this shithead tried to do to the American people in his neverending quest of greed and narcissism.
Yet he is looking at 50% of the votes. "The people deserve the shithead they elect".
hes never won the popular vote. hes gamed the electoral college which was designed to give those backwoods, propaganda-driven zombies outsized power.
Let it be 45%... What the fuck is wrong with a huge amount of muricans? Completely brain dead it seems...
only 60% of people who can vote, do. and he got 45% of that.
that is why everyone is yelling 'vote!' from the rooftops.
Yeah I know, but that doesn't change the fact that there's a significant amount of people missing a brain... Not that I can do anything about it. And it's not that europe is way better in this regard with the rise of right-wing-populism (but Trump is just idiocracy level).
a huge part is the passive propaganda machine in the southern united states. its fox news, 24/7 everywhere you go. every waiting room. every bar. for many this is their sole 'news' outlet.
you repeat a lie enough to a person, they will accept it as fact. these people readily admit, 'there are 5 lights!'
Seemingly, it's sad. I just cannot fathom this, to me when someone is repeating lies I just declare him idiot. What I find concerning is the level, i.e. they don't accept logic facts and seemingly once that downward-spiral occured they cannot get out of their screwed conception of the world. I begin to "understand" why Nazis back then had success with what they did...
It's because you care more about the truth than being accepted as part of the group. Humans are wired to value being accepted, generally, so most people fall for the idea that consensus is a fact-based exercise.
Bad excuse. Today, Harris 48%, Trunk 46%. That is only a ffing 2% difference.
The USA deserves the shithead they elect.
Polls mean nothing
At lest 50% of the people are not going to vote for him regardless of what the electoral college ends up deciding.
The people don't deserve what the Constitution mandates and they have no way of changing. The incredibly popular Equal Rights Amendment never passed. It had massive public support. Politicians didn't give a shit because most of them were men. And still are.
Not to be that guy, but you're actually in the wrong here by adding incorrect information. It was not an election interference case. The 34 convictions were for charges of falsified business records. There's nothing actually illegal about paying someone to not talk to the press about something that might affect an election. The problem was how he tried to hide the payments.
But as stated during the trial, the reason he wanted to hide the Stormy stuff was to protect his campaign. So by making a deal with National Enquiry to catch and kill the story to protect his campaign, not his family, means it was a campaign finance violation because he tried to do it on the DL instead of declaring it the legal way.
And you're right that paying someone to stay silent isn't illegal (as long as the thing you're having them stay silent about itself is legal), but doing it in furtherance of his campaign without properly reporting it is illegal. So pretending it's just a casual falsified business records case is downplaying the election interference by trying to hide payouts to protect his campaign bid (electability).
Edit - it was the 2nd crime (election interference) that made each count a felony instead of a misdemeanor.
As you say this, millions of tweens attempt to film themselves partaking in the latest tiktok challenge in hopes of going viral and starting their career as a streamer.
Any information harmful to me must not be released before the election or it's interference
Any information harmful to my opponents must be released before the election or it's interference
You just said more coherent words than he's said in a month
"Whiny little bitch whines and bitches. Details at 11."
if he gets the whitehouse then i hope dems get the house.
Using your office to kill an investigation into yourself has got to be an impeachable offence.
3 times impeached president donald j trump.
plenty of time will be left left in his tenure for a 4th too
While I wholeheartedly agree, if it's up to 3 impeachments and still no consequences, then impeachment becomes nothing more than a mark on a dude covered in spots.
Something needs to actually happen for it to be of any sort of threat 🫤
even if there are no real consequences at least he can go down in history with a thouroughly stained record
Motherfucker could invent time travel and cure aids and his tennis would still be a stain on history
Gerrymandering makes a Democratic house majority increasingly less likely every election season.
No way with this supreme court. They already gave blanket immunity for anything done as president, which is absolutely insane and should have people rioting
well dipshit it wouldn't have been released before the election if you didn't stall and contest literally everything in this case. this is quite literally your own damn fault.
And we knew this was going to come out about now at the beginning of the year. I saw so many experts calling out that the delay measures would put shit like this right at the lead up to the election. Granted they expected trial or deposition stuff, but still, delaying it made a self-own October surprise inevitable.
If he hadn't been fighting tooth and nail we could have had the trial over 2 years ago...
So that's the line for evil?
Booohooohoooo, the poor widdle darling! So mean!
