    I'd love it to be true... Trump is well known to default on payments and sooner or later Trump will throw you under a bus.

    But this sounds too good be true. Rudy is one of the people can't afford to lose right now, surely?

    It’s trump, so it’s definitely true.

    Rudy needs Trump more than Trump needs Rudy.
    True. And if Trump sees Rudy as a failure then he'll definitely turn on him, but I would have thought Rudy has too much on Trump to risk getting tossed aside.

    Maybe Trump really just can't afford to pay him.

    Trump 2024

    Would be beautiful if that was his prisoner number...

    I'm a firm believer someone should be paid what they are worth, so.....

    The wealthiest author in the world is J K Rowling at 1 billion, so you expect him to outdo everyone from Stephen King to her. But he can't even write a grammatically correct tweet. :D

    Yeh, but like his previous book(s), Trump won't be writing this one either. ;)

    That said, the level of legal expertise portrayed by Rudy puts him in the 'no win no fee' lawyer. If my solicitor alleged that there was fraud but then couldn't produce any in court, I'd consider what fee should be paid

    I was making a joke that the quality of legal service Rudy provided meant that not paying him sounded about right....

    The move to impeach Trump, and the subsequent address of a more conciliatory tone than normal gives me some degree of hope that his cough has been softened and he'll keep quiet in the coming days.

    Or

    He will instantly regret being forced by his staff to make that statement and go full bat shít for the next 6 days once someone explains to him the significance of what actually is happening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,245 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    Excuse me? This isn't black people being "uppity" (quite racist).

    It's people using identity politics where it's not warranted

    Again, what exactly was the birther thing other than identity politics on steroids? That was Trumps genesis, the beginning of his appeal to conspiracy theorists, the start of his journey that ultimately led to his deification in the QaNon cult

    Chomsky(2017) on the Republican party

    "Has there ever been an organisation in human history that is dedicated, with such commitment, to the destruction of organised human life on Earth?"

    His stilted, scripted address last night suggests the Trump crime family have been telling him to stfu and stop the division, as they see their business empire crumbling in a hail of boycotts and lawsuits.
    Too late for a damascene conversion though.

    He has no access now to a platform that will allow him to ramble on. He can try use the White House channel as his personal YouTube, but I expect with 6 days to go most staff are suddenly emboldened (read: not afraid of being fired) and will refuse to do what he wants or be conveniently unavailable. Twitter and social media gave him access to post whatever he wanted without interference.

    Calling press conferences or releasing videos on the WH channel doesn't allow that.

    I expect in the next few days we'll get some bizarre scenario where he releases a "personal" video ranting about the impeachment that's relayed via LiveLeak or RT.

    Abraham Lincoln.

    I only came across them here when their tweets were being shared..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,074 ✭✭✭✭everlast75



    Scott is a great reporter and I expect he has vetted this story before publishing it.

    Anyone, Democrat, Republican or ex Republican should feel the full weight of the law if they are guilty of what is alleged here.

    I expect the Lincoln project will take whatever steps are appropriate pending any investigation by law enforcement.

    I don't understand why someone as selfish as him is motivated to pardon anyone.

    The majority of his pardons to date have been Republican politicians, advisors, donors or activists who were convicted of various fraud or obstruction of justice offences. They're part of a pattern that aim to show that Republicans, and by extension himself, are unjustly targeted for political purposes by an ideologically hostile and corrupt justice system. It's part of his tactic of self preservation, where he constantly claims that any accusation against him is part of a wider "deep state" conspiracy against true conservatives.

    He follows his clients instruction. If Trump wanted to cry fraud, what’s Rudy supposed to do if no evidence exists? He’s a lawyer not a magician.

    Trump has turned him into a political spin doctor and spoofer and he’s best know as mayor of NYC. But prior to politics, his legal career was the complete opposite of this shambles.

    to be fair some of those he pardoned/commuted were working on donalds behalf. It was self-preservation on trumps part.

    So in Trumps video last night he's using the No True Scotsman defence several times to claim that he had nothing to do with inciting the mob to go and smash up the Capitol:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,927 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    Well yeh Trump is not a true scotsman :P

    yeah he is only half scottish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,775 ✭✭✭yagan


    I haven't seen any reaction yet from his faithful to his denouncement of their patriotic storming of the capital. I guess the net literally tightening makes it harder but I'd imagine there's a lot of confused racists out there in the Trump heartlands wondering if the flyboy from NY has shafted them.

    Trump may yet be in most danger from his most vociferous followers.

    They'll probably just tell themselves he was coerced.

    I just read that and watched the video. In true Donny fashion, it wasn't even cryptic at all. He literally says "No true supporter of mine would ever endorse violence". Hilarious.

    Sure isn't he being forced into this by all the betrayals and even Julius fell when betrayed by all those around him.

    The Donald knows all and one must never doubt the Donald. For he is the greatest and should be called Daddy and be hyper sexualised by men who are also extremely homophobic at the same time. It is a confusing cult though I guess most are.

    And anyway all violence was driven by Antifa never mind that they were openly planning this and dreaming of the day the "ammo box" would be the way to fix this and they could drop "commies" from helicopters. This did not break thou shalt not kill religious rules cos commies are not people.
