Rapist baby with dementia and multiple fraud convictions.
And around 90 cases pending. And flyer with pedo airlines. Nothing to see here.
4 cases, 91 individual indictments.
I know, it’s a lot to keep track of. (And those are just the criminal cases!) There’s also the fraud case in NYC, and the E Jean Carroll case, both of which he’s appealing (and will lose), and Carroll might just sue him again for a hat trick!
There’s also the fraud case in NYC
which he can't afford to pay..... sucka be broke.
It's ok, he is so broke they just reduced the amount because why ever actually do something that negatively impacts him?
I fully expect that he is getting a cut of the ridiculously high lawyer fees.
They only reduced the bond amount he has to pay during appeal, not the judgement amount. And he still can’t seem to come up with an adequate bond— the bond he got came from a shady-ass company that’s not only not licensed to issue bonds in NY, the company itself doesn’t even have the cash to cover the bond it issued, so the court rejected it, lol.
Trump will still lose the appeal and have to fork over the full amount. The bond was just to halt asset seizure during the appeal process.
Will sometime in the future maybe, whatever. He is getting a free pass every step of the way.
Considering he’s supposed to be the one paying them?
Naw. He might take a percentage from the RNCs contributions….
You mean frequent flyer.
Yes, that.
Even his most ardent supporters don’t take him seriously. They just love how he is just as racist and fascist like them. Not one of his supporters will be voting for him so he can make their lives better. All they want him is to make black and brown people’s lives miserable.
If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
There is a not insignificant number of his supporters who think he’s saving the country from a collection of weird conspiracies (remember the pizza shop bullshit).
- They are being told cities are raging hell holes (one of them I talked with was afraid to visit his local city of around 100,000 people without having multiple guns on him)
- Trans people are either trying to cheat at sports or grooming their kids (something the Republican Party seems to disproportionately do themselves)
- Libs are both too stupid to see all their “truths”, and cunning evil bastards who want to eliminate them, their gas stoves, and their precious fucking guns (again projection).
Yes plenty are racist bigots, but a lot are dumb and brainwashed by social media, OANN and Fox’s constant stream of bullshit.
If the Supreme Court rules the president has immunity, what would stop Biden from throwing Trump in jail?
"Taking the high road" which is just working out fantastically.
Because for some reason, Democrats insist on fighting with one arm tired behind their backs, out of this fear of being seen as unprofessional or something. Meanwhile Republicans are eye gouging and using steel chairs and get away with it. I think it's time some democrats grew some balls and started using Trump's bullshit against him
In jail? What would stop him from just putting a bullet in his head?
Biden won't do it because Dems are still living in a fantasy world where they can compromise with Repubs and not get stabbed in the back.
If he does do it then SCOTUS will suddenly have original interpretation which makes it unconstitutional when a Dem does it, so IDK, maybe I agree that he might as well not stoop the that level.

Ok tho I know this isn't really the place but this article's picture perfectly captures how I picture it whenever I read the words "trump said/did"... like really look at his face! He looks like a fucking giant crying baby throwing a fit, not some strong great leader fighting injustice.
Seriously.
(Sorry to the baby to compare you to that monster. I hope that is the worst thing to ever happen in your life)
Trump doesn’t lie about what he wants to do. He always lies about his accomplishments, but not what he wants to do.
My pearls have been firmly in the clutched position for the last nine years 😑
If you glue them down, you don’t even have to bother lifting your hand.
A better ending is him in the fucking ground but no one wants to talk about that. Our veteran forefathers are rolling in their graves
I know of plenty who are more than happy to talk about that
It’ll get ya banned from whatever social media you’re on
Jail? The man argued in court that he is allowed to ASSASSINATE political opponents as a former president

I'm more concerned with Ken Paxton. That slimy little piss baby weaseled his way out of impeachment and criminal indictment and now is on a shameless tour of relentless vengeance to punish those who dared call him out.
Trump may want to do what Kenny boy is doing, but I don't think he's got the mental acumen to do it.
Of greater concern is that Trump is but a puss filled festering visual symptom of the more capable villains using his cult of personality to make his wishes come true at their more localized levels.
Oh Im sure the GOP would allow that kind of rhetoric from a Democrat as well, right .... GOP..... Hello .... Who wants to go on record to say this would be ok to hear from Biden
look you just need the "right criminal" in charge -every boot licking republican
Both sides are the same right?
you are the only one saying that
Sorry. I didn't put that it was sarcasm.
/s for previous comment.
When Donald Trump threatened that he was going to throw immigrants in jail, “he did that,” she added. “When he said that he was going to bar Muslims from entering the country, he did that. He was going to pick the most anti-abortion judges, he did that. And now we lost Roe because of it. I’m just confused about what people think he’s kidding about.”
This is just cherry picking. Trump is a huge liar, he has said countless things that he did not do or attempt to do. Saying "well he did some of the things he said" doesn't hold much water.
Especially when part of last campaign was about getting Clinton jailed, and he didn't so that.
The guy is a huge fucking danger to this country and I wouldn't be surprised if he would do something shitty like this. But some podcast host making some stupid point like this is not worth mentioning and her point is embarrassingly bad.
FWIW, anytime someone uses the words "Everybody, Nobody, Always, Never" or their equivalent I automatically ignore whatever they are saying. Except this time, I guess. For the record, I seem to care.
To be fair, you said "anytime" which was not in your list of words. Lol
He's been talking about jailing his opponents since 2015, and probably before that. I guess it gets old after awhile
Literally "lock her up". This isn't new.
Yeah, it's not that we don't care, there's nothing we can do except vote. It's like stalking laws, there's nothing that can be done until someone gets hurt.
That's because he had two campaign slogans in 2016:
- Make America Great Again
- Lock her up
Just another day here; unfortunately.
Its the boy who cried wolf situation, when they keep exaggerating every story or directly lying we just tend to stop caring.
Yeah, except the problem with Trump is he’ll actually try to do it. He is literally telling you what he plans to do and no one is listening.

We CARE. We just don’t care.
He such a charming fellow! Why would people possibly be concerned?
Articles stopped using the word slammed and now keep saying that nobody cares.
Trump ran on throwing Obama in jail for unspecified 'crimes'. He had four years and started out with at least a set of competent people. Even if he wins again, his legal team will make it look like he enacted the 13th amendment of 1812 (the one that almost made it illegal for lawyers to work for the government).
