Let's be honest if he didn't go into politics none of these lawsuits or legal troubles would have come to fruition. nasty business it can be. 

Drumpf was sued multiple times before even announcing his run for Prez.

If Trump turns into a 2-time loser.  MAGA is dead and Trump better hope that the country has no appetite to jail him in NY.

 

It's insane how much Trump has riding on this election.  Future history books will talk about it in detail.

 

yea I can see the howler monkey hanging on to a small portion of maga's but there's (hopefully) no one to really take his place

Fair enough that is an interesting read. 1900 related to his Casino dealings which he was the plaintiff for most of.

 

I was more referring to the personal criminal cases not lawsuits related to his businesses

The debate is going to be wild. This is how he rambles on WITH teleprompters. He won't have any teleprompters during the debate.


 

someone should tell him that there is plenty of soap bars in prison.  Just have to be careful when picking them up off the floor.

Considering the legal troubles you are describing can only be attributed to someone in politics you're not wrong. But if you're trying to downplay the seriousness of these troubles you're out to lunch. He literally tried to steal an election. He's earned every bit of the attention he's getting.

He also tried to steal classified government documents.

 

I don't buy into the theory that he was planning to sell them to a foreign power, but I absolutely believe he wanted to keep them so he could show them off to people....

Absolutely, the fact of the matter is he refused to return them. He moved and hid them to obstruct the investigation. Thats illegal in and of itself. What he wanted to do with them only adds to the illegality. Not sure how anyone can justify any of that without a hit to their integrity?

I do, why wouldn't he? He certainly thought they might be valuable as leverage somehow in a negotiation, which is the same thing.

iirc he was charged/sued for assault by people other than E. Jean Carroll-prior to his run for prez.

Also a number of his companies/ charities/real estate businesses faced criminal charges and convictions- also prior to his political life. 

 

tldr- his legal woes of various types began way, way before his political life.

I'm agreeing with you completely, I was responding to Chicken.

I'd be very surprised if Trump actually debates Biden. 

 

He's having a ton of difficulties formulating thoughts into words during his campaign rallies and that's with a teleprompter. 

 

They'll find an excuse to back out.

Anything is possible I suppose..... I guess I just don't see Trump having the level of sophistication that you'd expect from someone engaging in true espionage....OTOH, keeping top secret documents as "trophies" is completely on brand for the fat bastard....

 

That being said, I'd love to be proven wrong about that.

If Trump backs out due to cognitive issues, it will be proof positive of one thing.....

 

Team Biden obviously has access to better drugs than Team Trump.

Good riddance if/when this happens.  The amount of damage InfoWars has done far exceeds the amount Alex owes.

Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free

The WikiLeaks founder has been held in a prison outside London for the last five years and fought extradition to the U.S. He is expected to return to Australia.

This has been a dangerous & disgraceful farce. At least prominent names like R Waters, Hedges, Greenwald & John Pilger(RIP) stood by this man.
