Yes, Ted Cruz was born in Calgary AB. Weird that he even got to run for pres-o-dent when everybody had once stomped on Obama’s "fake birth certificate ".
Canada had a funny thing going in the Vietnam era. Back in the early eighties, I worked with a guy who had dodged the draft. There were many scattered all across the country. I think that there were 50,000 dodgers and about the same number of Canadians joined the ranks of the US forces at that time. Tit for tat.
As much as I like the US and appreciate the energy and enterprise, there are so many things awry with their system. There is a lot of despair in that part of the population that has to go without a social net, and the high cost of health and education are dreadfully wrong. Ordinary folk had all the reasons in the world to claim that the elites had abandoned them. The only problem is that the elites reside in left and right edges of the political spectrum, not just left. I think Chump has a chance of getting back in, but as others have said; he has opened the door fo newfangled little tyrants to come about.
They've only got themselves to blame.
From Trump's own mouth.
Supporting Israel was and is never about the Israeli's and all about the Bible belt. As for whether or not he is an anti-Semite? I think the clips speak for him better than I could.
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist David Cay Johnston says he’s “certain” Trump will soon be indicted for racketeering in New York and that “Trump will have to surrender himself to be booked.”
Not sure how credible, but it would be a nice Christmas present.
He certainly seems nervous. (A new level of compete projection and bullsh1t btw)
Heaven knows he wasn't moved to post something like this because all his loyal followers are getting thrown in the clink. He couldn't give two sh1ts about them.
Anyway, too many false dawns with justice being promised against 45.
I'll wait and see.
“Trump is under confirmed criminal investigation in three different jurisdictions, two of which have reached the grand jury stage.”
Cy Vance has 2 weeks left as Manhattan DA, so well see.
People sure do feel confident online though.
Posting a photoshopped crowd because nobody is going to his shïtty "tour" 😂
This is the actual crowd
While agree that the Jan 6 rioters carry a large portion of the blame, it also is true that the conman is also always responsible for the con.
More than a whiff of desperation - Can donny's nerves hold out until Jan 6th?
No I'm sorry they are fully to blame for their own actions. This doesn't absolve Trump either.
He was the ringleader.
It all happened because of him.
For over 4 decades Trump has frequented courts. He has filed actions against others, while others have filed cases against him. He has won some, lost and settled many. He had already been indicted for alleged fraud and racketeering in both California and New York for the now defunct Trump University. He made it go away with a $20 million dollar settlement. With Trump money talks and charges walk.
He and his legal firms that represent him are absolutely expert at the fine art of delay tactics. For example, it has been how many years that his tax returns were not disclosed?
David Cay Johnston needs to factor in Trump’s massive delay tactics and skill at dodging charges before suggesting that anything will happen to Trump in criminal court.
Plus I do not believe that the Republicans or Democrats want to convict or imprison a former president, no matter how much noise they make before the news media. Furthermore, Trump’s impeachment was only to remove from office, and not a ticket to Club Fed, had he lost the first or second attempts.
Yes. But those who turned up turned up under their own free will.
I believe Trump has done various things that he should be prosecuted for as I believe he is very likely guilty of at least fraud and sexual assault and probably other items when it comes to pressuring election officials and inciting an insurrection.
But I too have argued that the American establishment absolutely does not want to see an American President in the dock, let alone in jail.
And we are probably already in the place that any serious move towards arresting him would be said to be politically motivated and with Hannity, Ingraham, Carlson inciting their audiences with respect to this. We could actually see violence as a consequence which could feasibly escalate to all out war given the tension and the itchy fingers of many second amendment advocates who make up his base.
His health is still the most likely thing that might impact his running in 2024.
What if the evidence is solid?
The law is the law.
I refer you to Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnel holding him responsible for the insurrection of Jan 6th, but refusing to impeach him for doing so.
But these people are in his party.
The law is a separate matter.
Well, I believe we do not entirely disagree.
If you're rich enough laws don't mean anything.
It is a different country, but look at the Met's response on whether or not they would investigate Covid breaches in Downing Street.
You'd have to be very naive, in my view, to think that justice is truly blind.
Another swing and a miss
Are those forensic audits still going on? Haven't heard about them for ages.
They wouldn't have turned up at all without Trump's total disregard for the truth. Stoke anger, and you can't be surprised when irrational people get angry.
Because (as expected by all rational people) they are not getting the results that trumps klan hoped. Just wasting time, money and resources. But they don't care about that. They just want to continue his (proven) LIES
Although someone is still funding them so presumably they are happy to be funded. Which just about sums up the GOP politics.
So they are still ongoing? Really? That is mad. a full year after. Surely they have checked everything they can at this stage.
To be honest I haven’t a clue, I suspect they aren’t actually doing anything now but aren’t releasing results because even with a bent eye on matters they couldn’t find anything even remotely plausible to put out.
Yeah, Trump is still sending out emails demanding that people donate to DEFEND OUR ELECTIONS. And sadly, people are dumb enough to hand over their money to him. Not actually sure if Trump is putting any money into these audits, though. Somehow I doubt it. He'll use it to pay his legal bills.
His personal legal bills are being paid by the RNC
We need a forensic audit of some posters here 😁
