What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

I think that they are, in the main, people that feel let down or left out. That the world as they envisaged it to be is not the world as they see it and therefore anything that sticks two fingers up at that world is to be applauded.

I don't think they think it he necessarily right or wrong, but it is getting one over at the 'elites' and the liberals and the system. It doesn't matter the cost, that isn't really something they are concerned about.

They aren't really sure what the problem is or who is to blame, but it is definitely whatever is currently being talked about and 'them' are the problem.

And Trump, very successfully, tapped into that. Since there is no defined problem, there doesn't need to be a defined solution. And that is why the rallies are so popular. People want to hear someone talk about all the problems they have, even if they aren't really impacted by the vast majority of them.

Its why they likes people like MTG or Gaetz. Even though are fully within the system that is apparently part of the problem, they are telling it like it is and thus anything they do can be passed off as simple a cost worth paying to stop the problems.

Good detail on judge Carter's remarks re: Trump committing federal crimes

Joe Trippi on Twitter: "The evidence of Trump and Eastman criminality is laid out clearly. For Trump supporters it won’t be an easy read. @HC_Richardson https://t.co/cA7AKuvfl0" / Twitter

almost 8 hours.

Nixon was missing 18 minutes.

Unfortunately this is true. As long as he's "owning the libtards" then he is golden. He is sticking it to the elites...... A multibillionaire self-professed tax-dodger and his multimillionaire cronies are "Sticking it to the elites"

This frustration with, and blind hatred of, what Americans consider "The Radical Left" (Just left of centre in Europe) has lead them to thinking that trump is "one of us". TBH, it's a little bit sad.

I have a friend who moved to Canada. Recently got their Canadian Passport. Recently started spouting all these trump lines/lies. Sending these usual nasty anti-Ukraine memes. I told them not to. Said I never send them any anti-Russian memes so I expect the same respect. They replied with lines straight out of fox "news" "Oh, I just hate the radical left". I said "You are a Western European and now a Western European/Canadian, working in a Canadian college who has benefitted from social welfare in Ireland and thinks Canadian healthcare is amazing. YOU are the "Radical Left" to these people. Fox news and their audience hate YOU too!"

As I and many have said before, I can absolutely understand where his votes came from in 2016 and why he got in. He 100% was (rightly or wrongly) an antiestablishment vote.

But to still believe that he has ANY sort of positive influence on the world, to continue to believe in him after his lies of election fraud, to continue to believe in him after Jan 6 ("O God, will you ever let Jan 6 GO???!!!"), to continue to believe after ALL the sleaze, after ALL the money-grabbing, after all the stories of his campaigns setting up HUGE direct debits from elderly/vulnerable people, after the proud statements of sexual assault. It really is a little sad.

I know, I know, his MANY racist statements, homophobic statements, anti-women statements, anti-American statements appeal to his most ardent followers. But SURELY they must want more than a racist homophobic sexual assaulting anti-American insurrection instigator? That's ALL he has going for him... Well, apart from getting a hole-in-one.

I just cannot understand how someone who is NOT a racist homophobe anti-American woman-hater can support him because obviously his supporters are NOT all racist homophobic anti-American women-haters. I am absolutely 100000% stating that I do not believe that his supporters are racists or homophobes or anti-women or anything like that. That is ACTUALLY my point. I can't see how they can deep deep down feel "He's one of us. He speaks for me". As I asked before (And was of course, ignored) where is the line? Is there a line?

Ah, I suppose there is no point. We are all preaching to the choir here.

Edit: Fixes typos... So many typos

And if you watch the coverage from the time 18 minutes was seen as this massive thing and didn’t the secretary have to come into and try and account for how her actions could’ve have lead to those 18 minutes going missing ?

It’s nauseating how it’s become all about winning the game of politics since then. These aren’t your dads Republicans. Well, some of them are!

Surely the phone provider would have the records from during the gap? I wonder how hard they would be to obtain.

Annnnnnd you'll have his klan going on about not being able to prove anything. As they have with everything. Not is something right or wrong morally. That is answered VERY easily. If you get away with it you were right.

Fantastic news

But I do fully anticipate people will be down in the comments shrieking that it is treason something something.

expect people asking when Hunter will be testifying before the Jan 6th committee.

Didn’t tucker Carlson claim he had it and then didn’t ?

TLDR, Gaetz badgered an FBI witness for not knowing the exact whereabouts of Hunters Laptop, which is an oddly specific thing to rant about. Why yes Mr. Gaetz it's in the Evidence locker on the 2nd floor of the so and so building, 3rd cabinet, 2nd drawer from the bottom. It was a silly exchange drummed up so Gaetz could hold up an apparent flash drive copy of the laptop's contents that he had in his possession already, having just bemoaned that Congress hadn't seen the laptop's data even though, clearly, he claims to have had done.

All a bunch of show that doesn't really have anything to do with Trump, other than Republicans want to blame Hunter now for the former losing his re-election bid. Hunter is already the subject of a grand jury, so the Congressman with 3 friends who flipped on him in a sex trafficking case probably should keep a lower profile, unless the point is to cash in all his chips now before that indictment turns up for himself.

He's also a traitor,and needs to be punished as such.
