Donald Trump discussion Thread IX (threadbanned users listed in OP)

Bangs fists against wall "but I want to wake up a certain kind of US voter to that".

Jack Smith seems to know how to conduct his business and I hope he is successful. I have a horror that he may have given Trump something to use in convincing the fanbase that the witch-hunt rabbit-hole is real with his application to the court to gag Trump by judicial order. Trump will obviously make hay until such an order is issued and will probably get his legal team to seek an overturning of the order on infringement of constitutional rights grounds, tying down valuable prosecutor time in court [appeal] appearances.

The similarity to what is standard practice in Putin's Russia is something Trump wont consider unethical or unfriendly to use against Smith, the DOJ and Joe Biden.

Trump seems to desire more publicity as he's used his platform to suggest that General Milley, Chair of the JCS, should be executed for the way he ran the US Military exit operation from Afghanistan. He's included a reference to the "Fake News" media in his statement as being the source of his reasoning on what should happen to General Milley while holding Milley responsible for the deaths of several hundred US military there at the time of the pullout. Coincidentally Trump forgot that his administration negotiated the withdrawal settlement with the Taliban in Feb 2020 which excluded the Afghan Govt.

Kettle calling pot black sprang to mind, given how Trump treated the US and its constitution while sitting president. I can only suppose he never thought of how the founding fathers of the US and the writers of it's constitution might treat him for his activities while in office in 2020 and 2021.

It now remains to be seen if the DOJ makes a request that the restraint ruling the judge ordered Trump to comply with not to go after jurors and others including possible witnesses in the court case be enforced on Trump. No doubt Trump would love the publicity any such move would make.

The facts in your paragraphs should be a boon for RDS from the Evangelical votes POV, if they were to follow the religious belief over the worldly one of Trump-ism. God or Gop?

Even Allen Weisselberg is on the list, though he's been flipped by the prosecution.....

So fortunately it's the state and city that may have lost out on revenue, not the fed, due to the false entries on his returns over many years. No pardon if he is prosecuted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment.

I take it these false returns were also used to get loans from banks, include the Deutsche Bank loans, which would be separate fraud offences.

I assume the state took measures to prevent Trump's Companies from transferring ownership of any business and properties listed on the returns.

It only remains to see how many years it takes both parties get past the polarisation - that Trump took advantage of and widened to the chasm it is now - and get together to bury the past. Given how the first civil war was successfully resurrected to aid the dissenters and conspiracy theorists in getting the conman-in-chief onside, probably with no real objection as he'd know an opportunity when he saw one, that might take another 150 odd years.

The funniest thing about it Trump would be offended to be called that which makes its all the most absurd.🤣

Reading one article that covered his conviction and sentence, one fact that stood out is that the deed was done on the day after the storming of the Capitol building. No P/M by those behind it on what the failure of the attack on the Capitol meant for the future of the US. Instead they went on to use the same type of hacking of the vote machines in other locations and states, and used data seized from the machines in the first hacking to spread lies and fake news to the effect Trump was the legitimate winner.

It's great that Dominion won it's case in court and disproved the lies and fake news from Trump's mouth and the mouths of his spokespersons.

She'd merely be another of those he refers to as "deranged".

Turley isn't the problem. The complete lack of any evidence is the problem.

But instead of admitting that, Bannon blames the process.

If they had the evidence then it wouldn't make any difference. The only mistake was allowing someone testify the truth rather than simply making stuff up.
