I really can't fucking believe he's going to get away with everything. Their plan of running the clock is working and I have absolutely no doubt Trump will win the election allowing his AG dog to dutifully wipe everything away. Hell, seeing how this timeline is going I could even imagine his new AG opening an investigation into Biden that gets fast tracked somehow.... We've all collectively somehow become even fucking dumber over the last 4 years that I could even be so sure Trump will win...
It just blows my mind how someone so unbelievably stupid, someone so obviously corrupt in his personality, someone so abhorrent, could skate his way through the justice system. "Teflon Don" suits him. The only "positive" here are the civil suits that hit him where he cares most, his bank account.
I get what you are saying but keep in mind that he has been losing his ability to stay composed for awhile now and it seems to be gaining speed. He is sundowning as we watch. I doubt he will be mentally capable of campaigning in a few months. He literally just told the world that Biden took a shit in the oval office, just when you think he can't get more unhinged, he proves you wrong.
I'm not sure where to find it now but some clinical psychologists or psychiatrists (iirc) gave a pretty decent breakdown of how trump is breaking down mentally.
He told people Biden soiled itz and they laughed and clapped.
I see no evidence this is a problem for him. His lack of cognition, morals, etc has never really been a problem before.
It's exactly on brand for him and his followers.
Hillary Clinton was right when she said half his supporters were a basket of deplorables. Those that got upset about that put themselves into that group.
They love him because of the unhinged shit he says. He takes the hate that the ~~two minutes hate~~ Fox News cultivates and brings it to the White House and that's exactly what they want.
She was actually off by 50%.
If anything, Hillary was being too kind.
It is ALWAYS projection, always. Numerous people have said the orange liar soiled himself regularly.
All he needs to do is be able to stand up come election day, then they can just weekend at Bernies for the next 4 years.
This should be a joke but with the gullibility of his most devoted followers and how far computer generated images and video have come, this is a real possibility.
This is 100% copium. The only thing that matters is actually convicting him and carrying out the criminal sentence. Until then, all this speculative BS is nothing but a distraction to provide cover for how badly all the leaders who aren't already outright traitors are fucking this up.
this one here?
That looks like it.
When did he say Biden took a shit in the Oval Office? Lol
Looks like either Sunday or Monday.

I maintain that this is Defunded Donnie's way of admitting he had a diaper accident in the oval office
Every accusation is a confession. That's the Republican way.
So how long before we hear about Trump having done it?
Or watch him drop a turd while campaigning?
Let's not go there. I don't want to see news stories of maggats shitting on cars because they had Biden or Bernie stickers or any others supporting sane and intelligent things.
I actually think the comment could be interpreted as Trump shit on the desk before leaving either to spite Biden (instead of leaving the traditional letter), or his declining mind allowed him to let slip an accident he himself had personally, and that "'disgusting Biden' is still using it, what a weirdo, I wouldn't use it after I soiled it".
It's the cult plus some normies voting against Biden. Don't underestimate how little they give a shit. We thought it ended with grab em by the sexual assault parts.
I thought for sure it would end when he shit all over McCain for being a POW.
Never let a Trump voter tell you they are pro military. Ever.
They hate veterans so much. They treat them like future unhoused mentally ill and guide them down the path.
On the other hand, let this be motivation to make him lose in November. All his legal maneuvers will be moot at that point, and he'll have some very angry judges to answer to.
If Trump loses, the delays mean nothing. He will never enjoy a free day of peace ever again.
