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

You should write cards for Hallmark. 😁

It's his own fault that his attorneys are a joke. No reputable lawyer would work for him, considering his reputation for not paying his attorneys. It's all coming back to haunt Don now and it's great to watch.

Would be beautiful if we saw him convicted by March. And it'll only be the first lot of prosecutions...

His supporters should be happy if they think he's innocent cause clearing his name before primaries is surely better.... 🤣

The majority of the EU etc view climate change to be a serious threat, it's most definitely not far left. Pretending we don't need to make fundamental changes and ploughing on and pretending it isn't an issue is far from rationale. Equally the Biden administration view it as a serious threat and the Biden Administration is not far left.

Funnily enough, GOP members view climate change as a far smaller threat than most Americans. So while it ranks low on priority lists, it's not helped by the a party that has spent most of this century pretending it doesn't exist.

Overall the GOP are becoming less and less representative of public opinion. Creating artificial controversies is what they rely on more and more so they loved the orange buffoon as a result. But it does fundamentally come down to how immortal and unethical a leader they're willing to put in power and the more we know of Trump, the more bottom of the barrel he is. Cause at a certain point, they run the risk of putting somebody in power that is dangerous to the foundations of the nation and Trump has proven himself time and time again to be such a person.

I trust that his phone will be confiscated \ ensure switched off during the trials so he will just have to sit there and take it.

It will be torture for Trump. The steam will be coming out of his ears.

Democrats in the U.S...

Indeed. I get the feeling that the GOP will not learn this lesson from the mid-terms. Abortion issues did a crap-load of footwork for the Dems and gave the GOP an extremely meager majority in the House...and little else. Donnie should throw his weight in with the Anti-Choice group, it would make the GOP's job all the more harder.

Regardless of where you sit politically when it comes to policy, be it left or right, I feel that fighting against women's reproductive rights is the preserve of extreemist religious head-bangers. It serves no operational goal in a nation where there is no paid maternaty leave or any meaningful form of state child-support. It is simply a facade designed to villify the desire of people to have recreational sex. This is something extremist evanglical head-bangers will likely latch onto, despite all likelyhood that for many of them their objections to having sex out of wed-lock (& abortion) don't nessisarily apply to them personally.

Which I feel is why you'll still find many of the evanglical crowd not only still endorse Trump, but also damn near beautify him as an actual religious figure. Literally "God's Chosen". They don't mind that he's as unfaithful, multi-devorced, letcherous scum bag, because they really don't mind that behaviour themselves...only wishing to put up the facade of this kind of "purity" culture, in order to remove the rights of other people who they might not nessisarily approve of.

I feel that this is the level of moral bankrupcy needed to defend Trump, as as been illustrated on this thread lately by his fan club.

Scare tactics imho.

They are being told 24/7 that democrats are communists, socialists, Marxist who want to steal your cooker/BBQ and want to turn your kid transgender.

If you shut that pipeline of rage off, a lot more people would come around.

It would take time of course.

and dont forget the gerrymandering

Bull. Sh*t.

Times 1000

I went a long way in giving specific detail of how much of a fallacy statements like this are on the 'Dangers are coming from the right thread' until a mod decided to stop me posting on it. It makes me particularly mad to see you post statements like this in spite of the evidence to the contrary.

You spent a lot of time on here complaining about the dangers of trans ideology and children being groomed. I saw a tweet yesterday that proved once again how that is nothing more that a culture war strawman right wingers throw in to the ring to try to focus the conversation in a particular direction. It pointed out the number of church leaders arrested in New York for crimes against children as being 8, the number of drag queens arrested in the same period? Zero.

For someone who has spent so much time also preaching on what type of messaging is acceptable when it comes to sexual topics, you have some very concerning takes. I've seen you argue that it should be acceptable for landlords/tenants to have sexual relations in lieu of payment and yesterday/today that what Trump is convicted of doing to Jean Carroll is close to inconsequential, because it doesn't meet the literal definition of rape in some jurisdictions.

Trump isn't the root cause of the dangers that afflict American society, no one here has claimed he is as you state (another strawman) but to use an analogy, he is the infection that develops in an open wound which makes everything worse and can lead to loss of a limb, or even death.

In the last 7 years or so, we've watched the political discourse space take a nose dive and while massive players like Rupert Murdoch and the likes bear a huge responsibility for this in many ways, Trump cannot be absolved of blame for what he has done. What the UK is experiencing in the same way in their political environment is largely because of Trump lowering the bar so much, Johnson was now able to drag his a*se over it.

And for you to then type the above and blame 'the far left and identify politics' is shameful.

Speaking of Gaetz

We await Chuktan's deliberation, court in session.
