    The same scum that are ok with school shootings, climate denial, holocaust denial, Nazis and child beauty pageants? Who cares. They can collect their handouts from the blue states and f*ck off.

    I know but short of a forced mass sterilisation programme what can be done about them?

    And unsurprisingly the PAC are using it to top up their coffers that seems to be running quite low due to the expense of defending trump.

    I'm trying to keep this as respectful as possible, but this is genuinely one of the dumbest posts I have ever read on here. I don't think there's really anything else to say other than that. You are living in a very dark and paranoid place, aren't you.

    I'm amazed at the apparently endless money people have to keep giving to Trump.

    Are they remortgaging their houses to try and save their leader or what?

    The response from the Trump Campaign contains the details of the Bus they are about the throw Rudi, Eastman et al under to save the Boss.

    "President Trump has always followed the law and the Constitution with advice from many highly accomplished lawyers"

    Yup - He's going to try to blame the lawyers and say it he was only following their advice.

    Sadly, yes.

    There have been multiple reports of people draining their retirement funds etc. to give money to Trump either via donation or by buying into any one of the numerous scams in his orbit.

    Like "Trump Bucks"

    A woman who lives in Florida also spoke to NBC News and said her 77-year-old mother-in-law purchased tens of thousands of dollars Trump Bucks. “My mother-in-law has always been conservative and prone to believe in conspiracy theories,” she said. “But after Trump lost the election, she went down the internet rabbit hole with this.”

    The woman said that her mother-in-law first started buying Trump memorabilia and was aware the memorabilia had no monetary value. But then the mother-in-law fell for “other sites” that were “claiming that if you buy these Trump coins or these Trump checks for, say, a hundred dollars, you’ll be able to take them to a bank and cash them in for thousands of dollars.”


    Hoping to dissuade her mother-in-law from buying more, the woman took her to a bank to attempt to cash in her worthless Trump Bucks.

    “We thought she got it, she even admitted she got scammed,” the daughter-in-law said. “But then giant boxes arrived at the house full of Trump checks and other stuff that she bought for $500 and that would supposedly be worth $6 million one day. We tell her she’s getting scammed, and she says, ‘Just wait, Trump will make all the patriots rich.’”


    “It’s like she’s in a cult,” the daughter-in-law said.

    There's no saving some of these people...

    Except when the lawyers produce proof that they told him it was all bogus.

    Rudy said something like "we have theories, we just don't have the evidence".

    If you said you relied on that as "legal advice", you're f**ked!

    It's actually quite saddening really. A lot of these people are poor and don't have the money to spare. They've been duped by a shameless piece of shit conman that's only interested in his own piss arse existence, and he'll bleed anyone dry in doing so. I'd love to see him go down for one or more of the serious charges just to get him off the stage and away from these vulnerable people for good.

    He's an absolute blight on everything and everyone.

    A huge portion? Sure you just mean 'A portion', the portion is certainly not huge.

    A former president of the US has just been indicted for attempting to defraud the US of a legally held election. In effect, he attempted to overthrow democracy. He attempted to take away the legitimate, and constitutional right, of every US citizen to determine the POTUS.

    There really is no higher crime than that, in terms of a state.

    We have become numb to the levels that Trump drags the country to, but this really i at another level. There was plenty of talk prior to the election about whether Trump would need to be physically removed from the WH. Turns out what he did instead was to try to remove anyone that could even try to make him leave. The effect of Trump's lies will reverberate in the US for many years. He has blown a massive gap in the entire belief in democracy itself and all for his own selfish ends.

    Not to mention the numerous phone calls where Trump was on the phone with election officials, testimony from the likes of Meadows and Pence which will likely explicitly demonstrate that Trump was directing traffic, and the simple fact that Trump hired his lawyers for the exact purpose of what they're now being charged with (he just thought they'd get away with it).

    Saw a legal commentator on the CBS stream last night point out that while there is a defence of taking your counsel's advice and it being wrong, that doesn't apply in this case, particularly as his counsel are co-conspirators in the same case.

    It'll definitely be interesting to see how deep they are in the cult; sacrifice themselves at the altar of Trump to protect him in the hopes he becomes President again and pardons them, or will seeing him throwing them under the bus make any of them decide to try save their own skin and turn on him?

    Meanwhile, in Trump's legal whackmole woes...

    Granted, the USA has a population of almost 350 million people and most people don't engage too much with politics but Trump managed to increase his voter count while losing the popular vote for a second time.

    2016 Trump was the outsider, the man who would break the system. 2020 Trump wanted you to inject yourself with bleach, inflammed racial tensions, helped destabilise the middle east, legitimised tyrants and oversaw tens of thousands of preventable deaths. While a lot of people don't engage with politics as I said, the whole world knew who and what Trump was in 2020 and tens of millions still voted for him. It's hard to excuse that.

    Oh I agree , it's nonsense , but he will absolutely throw everyone under the bus to try to save himself.

    If he goes down he'll make sure that everyone else goes with him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,994 ✭✭✭TinyMuffin


    Only downside of all this going on right now, is the late night chat shows in America are off air as this goes down. They’d be having a ball with this which trump wouldn’t like at all.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,276 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Which is it?

    Do you

    A) not believe he did it

    B) think he did, but it's not illegal

    C) you believe he did, but don't care.

    An honest answer would be appreciated

    You know these people will then descend on any relatives they've fallen out with expecting to be looked after. They'll have hurled abuse at them in the past and, once it's them needing help, it's suddenly fine to expect freebies.

    My Dad loves Trump but would struggle to find the USA on a globe. I'm grateful every day that he doesn't know what Google is.

    It doesnt matter what I believe, all that should matter is that the man is innocent until proven guilty and he should get a fair trial.

    Jack Smith has been proven to be an overzealous and poor prosecutor.

    The Robert McDonnell case was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in a unanimous 8-0 decision. The Court declared “there is no doubt that this case is distasteful; it may be worse than that. But our concern is not with tawdry tales of Ferraris, Rolexes, and ball gowns. It is instead with the broader legal implications of the Government’s boundless interpretation of the federal bribery statute.”. The High Court also rebuked Smith and warned that “the uncontrolled power of criminal prosecutors is a threat to our separation of powers.”

    Jack Smith lost the John Edwards case.

    He is a prosecutor known for taking laws and pushing the boundaries as far as he can, often contorting laws, and often going behind attorney client privilege.

    Smiths as special counsel is extremely biased, the whole purpose of a special counsel is to appoint an external lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking.

    This is not the case here, Smith is not impartial, he isnt an outsider.

    A biased judge and a biased jury is also guaranteed in DC.

    Its another Kangaroo court.

    I don't believe a word of this. Smith's job is to procure evidence and make the case for the prosecution in a court of law. You've no evidence whatsoever that he has acted improperly or unlawfully.
