OT- Trump found guilty in Hush Money Trial

[Wildcat]

Heh, I tried listening to this press conference just now and wow ...

[Capn'O]

I'm a little concerned there will be a strong appeal case. Like, he obviously did it with the porn star and paid for her silence inappropriately (<- this will never not be funny) but from what I've heard there isn't really certainty on jurisdiction nor the second count that raised each offense to a felony.

Well the democrats seem to think that "one human" will usher in the 4th Reich and become the re-incarnation of Adolf and that's why they have to stop him at all costs...even though we've already had 4 years of Trump and...none of that happened.

Get real. The democrats need to explain to the American people how they will be better able to feed their families under Biden rather than Trump. That is the only thing that will move the needle for him. Not this farce.

I don't think "feeding my family" was much better under Trump than it has been under Biden.

Prices of food have been going up since 2007.

I don't like it, but I hardly see the Trump years as some panacea, economically.

Both parties are the party of businesses. Trump is just a gifted actor fronting for one of the parties. He's got no ideas of his own. He's just spouting BS populism that simps suck up, because the rest of the rhetoric dovetails with their worldview.
It's not like liberals wouldn't fall for a similar BS act from the right type of candidate right now, if one existed.

Again, Americans experienced some inflation and they lost their f*cking minds.

The system has been broken for 40 years but no Republican I'm familiar with has said jack sh*t about it all that time.
None of them have cared a lick about military adventurism etc.
All of sudden, it's all bad, and it's the democrats who are the war mongers.

All the stances are a pathetic joke. The parties are mostly the same.
It's just amusing to see so called conservatives trot out the talking points of the left from 50 years ago.
Not that they believe in a single one of them.

The way I see it: Interest rates were super low and they had to raise them to stop runaway inflation from occurring. Now it's hard to build anything. So that's your " bad Biden economy."

The low interest rates were kind of a gimmick. DT can now pin the slowdown on his successor's FR but it could have been a cliff. I'm hoping the Fed relaxes them a bit this summer.

Right or wrong, a sh*t ton of money got flooded into the economy during covid, and that was always going to contribute to inflation

All awful ****, but that's probably because he didn't do this as President.

The issue was more the PPE loans being taken advantage of than the stimulus checks

It's the same issue as everything, this is a criticism of both parties, that we always rush to bail out big corporations but when we need to bail out the average American, we call it hand outs and both parties are against it (not all Dems but enough)

We forgive billions in PPE loans with no issue, but try to forgive student loans and all of a sudden that's socialism. Privatized profit and socialized losses.

It's funny cause you know he isn't saying we should prosecute any of those, cause if we did, Trump would have a whole lot more felonies under his belt

If you care about drone striking weddings and not spying on citizens, you wouldn't be voting for Trump. You wouldn't be voting for Biden either, but definitely not voting for Trump

That in a nutshell is what actual TDS is. Dudes are legit fanatical in their support for him for some reason despite the fact he's such an obvious con man.

here's my bigger picture take. if you don't like the way our gov't is trending with mismanagement of money, red or blue, protest with your money and invest in bitcoin. you're welcome.

until then, i'll take the red over the blue. the level of inflation, across the board, during Biden's term is way worse then any inflation we've seen in the last 30 years. it's had a huge affect on me and, if you're being honest, i'd imagine eveyrone posting on this board.

Hey Santa, here’s my Christmas wish a bit early. Thanks in advance

[MrDollarBills]

that was definitely not my intent. The way it should work is he should of been impeached or the very worst Censured- setting the stage, direction, and context for criminal trials to come. For the Republicans to act like nothing wrong was done was obviously divisive and created far more of a mess than necessary.

Quick note: these were crimes committed before he took office though, so the impeachment process doesn't really apply.

Donald Trump has been treated better than any average citizen or white collar criminal has during these proceedings. Multiple gag order violations would have landed anyone else in Rikers during the course of their trial.

The fact that the judge had to tip toe around his repeated violations is a testament to how he was focused on the actual substance of the trial and not the circus sideshow Trump was trying to turn it into. It leads me to believe the claims of abuse of the law for political reasons are just the dying gasps of a desperate base who refuse to see reality or walk away from their poor judgement regarding this man.

I have had several friends talk of civil wars and fraud verdicts etc for two days now. Actually real life friends ready to argue with me over this man. I take the "no dog on this fight" approach and ask for factual info they base their claims off of. Do your own research is the answer I get. Really? You'll fight a civil war but, you can't give me valid reasons why? Ok. Let's go have a beer instead.

Judge Merchan was more than lenient and was wise enough, as you said, not to let the trial devolve into chaos, which Trump thrives on...which goes back to my point: the man knows exactly what he's doing despite the incoming dementia and inability to control his bowels.

The people calling for Civil War, especially grifting provacateurs on Twitter, aren't going to do a damn thing.

We saw how tough these people were on J6 once Ashli Babbit got sent to the morgue. The scattered quick. Then the arrests began soon after.

If only Drumpf was not using every means in his power to delay the trials on charges for which he has no defense (like the January 6th assault on the Capitol, etc.).

Have you seen what inflation is internationally? Or are you one of these Americans with absolutely no clue of what is happening elsewhere, yet imagines that the universe revolves around us?

This isn't about Biden, this is about Trump becoming a convicted felon.

Inflation has a lot of factors that we could discuss in the thread about stocks, crypto etc. I'd be interested to hear your fact based reasoning as to why Inflation is Biden's fault.

Can Trump still run?

Stimmy checks and student loan forgiveness (thanks Joe ) are a drop in the bucket. How people look at that while ignoring millions in fraud and grift happening through Donald's PPP loans program is a fascinating exercise in mental gymnastics

[MrDollarBills]

Can Trump still run?

Yeah because the founding fathers never factored in the idea that a political party would succumb to a criminal charlatan

All of this is asinine that regular citizens are held to a higher standard than a Presidential candidate

I was actually not a fan of trump leading up to January 6th, but all the BS shenanigans from the blue-controlled media has made me strongly anti-democrat for the time being. So go ahead an pigeon hole me as a "trump fanatic" as you do for anyone who doesn't vote "blue no matter who". I'm open to changing my mind, are you?
