They are morans. have you ever seen that Kimmel bit where Americans can't point out their own state on a map? people just aren't as engaged there in the details.

RupertKBD Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 SCOTUS has overturned lower court rulings that kept Trump off the ballot.

I think we can all guess how this is going to go. His scotus lackeys will find a seam to let him off the hook, while not explicitly allowing immunity.

And an underdog. What concerns me about all these failed court cases is he can convince a lot of them that he is the "underdog". Americans can't resist that.

Sabrefan1 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 17 hours ago, RupertKBD said: Everyone and their dog knew that Trump's gambit would be to delay and try and run out the clock. If Smith could have Indicted a year earlier and given himself extra time to make sure the cases got to trial, he would have done so. He was only appointed special prosecutor a little over a year ago. He couldn't have brought the charges earlier. He hadn't had the position yet. He hurried to get the charges through as it was so they would dog Trump while he was running. I remember a White House hummer taking longer to investigate after they even found DNA evidence on a dress. ------ Mini-tangent time!! Speaking of the Whitewater investigation, that was the single biggest abuse of using a special prosecutor that I have ever seen in my lifetime. They went on a fishing expedition. When they couldn't find any bad real estate dealings, they then moved on and tried to prove Big Willy had someone killed. When that turned out to actually be the suicide that it was reported to be, they then land on a loose lipped intern with a stain on her dress. That there will always be the most ridiculously political investigation in my lifetime. Because of that abuse, every president after Slick Willy made sure to appoint a lackey to head up the DoJ. That's why nobody was surprised when Trump did the same with Sessions and then with Barr the enabler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukraine would be the first one to find out. I have followed Russian and pro Russian media ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union. There is a reason why they have been pushing for him and have been very excited about the prospect of him winning again. If Putin wins in Ukraine, for sure he is moving the front lines over to Moldavia or Armenia and further destabilizing Europe. Latvia and Estonia have a very high Russian population. Trump wouldn’t engage Putin over any of those countries and Europeans aren’t doing anything without the Americans. Since some people here prefer CNN still, the Russians, according to them, have lost 87% of their troops and 2/3 of all of it's tanks, and 1/3 of their lite fighting vehicles. I'm amazed Putin still has such a grip on power after his troops were so badly exposed. https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/12/politics/russia-troop-losses-us-intelligence-assessment/index.html It's going to take Russia years to build back their ground forces to the point where just the UK and/or France can't overwhelm their advances. As far as Russia goes, the only thing keeping them from being invaded by the paper tiger EU is their nuclear arsenal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I understand why you have to make that assumption, since your entire argument of these charges being election interference, instead of actual consequences for his criminals actions, is predicated on it.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the destroyer of worlds Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 We have a resident poster who likes to think that Biden will drop out. History tells us that is a bad idea. in '52 and '68, the incumbent Democrat POTUS did not seek re-election. The Democrats lost the Presidency both times. Fetch isn't going to happen.

Sapper Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Today's USA supreme court ruling putting Trump back in the ballot in Colorado ends the fight The USA has officially begun the move from a Republic to a monarchy.

The real test will be the Immunity claim. On the face of it, it seems ridiculous....but we know Thomas will probably vote in Dotard's favor. Maybe Alito too, but that's not a given IMO. I'll be shocked if any of the others follow suit, but I think we've learned to expect the unexpected by this current group. I just hope they get to it soon, rather than further delaying things, as Trump hopes.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't "have" to make any assumptions. I'm not perfect and I'm not a lawyer or judge. I don't pretend to be an expert at law either. This is all my assumptions based on past political prosecutions I've seen both nationally and here in NY. I could be right in my opinions, or I could be wrong. I prefer having discussions rather than "winning" them. I don't get the winning a discussion mentality some people have. Unlike a fair amount of people who post over the internet, I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong or changing an opinion if presented with well reasoned arguments. I apologize when I make mistakes that mislead others or even when I misunderstand and derail or confuse others in what's being discussed. I prefer to enjoy my conversations with people. Not try and have a half-assed competition with them that I won't remember days after. It's why I enjoy talking with you. You seem to be of like mind and when I've apologized for not correctly wording something or misunderstanding something you've said, it's over and done with immediately and you don't try and do weird "victory" dances. Even on here and the old CDC, I would watch people who couldn't carry on collegiately in their discussions. Fortunately they would usually go away when others stopped talking to them.

the destroyer of worlds Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The problem with trolling is if you don't give up the game, the difference between trolling and actual beliefs/behavior becomes less and less. Whenever TRUMP'S gaffes get called out, he doubles down. He doesn't give up the game. That isn't trolling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says he believes Obama is still running the whitehouse which is another troll job cause clearly Joe doesn't have the mental capacity to do so himself. It's the only thing he messes up repeatedly...cause it's on purpose, like I said he's been doing it for months. You're on the line, not me. You probably still think he called his wife Mercedes too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
