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

Doesn't that article say that Meadows repeatedly told him hat there was no evidence the election was irregular but that Trump never said as much in Meadow's presence?

So he " knew" (bc he was repeatedly told) that the election was fair but refused to acknowledge it.

Was that because he refused to believe/admit it or because he knew that if he acknowledged it openly to his entourage that the game was up ?

I wonder if he had cronies who were completely in on the scam or did he keep everyone in the grey zone?

I legit just got a youtube ad that was 3 middle age southern accented men doing poker at home, being like yeah trump had a decent hand, but now he's only got busted flushes etc. or whatever they actually said, i was too busy laughing to the unexpected ad which I assume is targeted at MAGA and exMAGA republicans and centrists to recall exactly what they said.

Basically yeah that’s trumps gambit imho.

Republicans pick their next smash bros character after calling mulligan on their last one. an election denier once again

Just goes to show what a self serving shìt Meadows is.

What a day in the Speaker shutdown

none of his sycophants will tell him he can't spell for ****

I'd say so. If his supporters don't care about his litany of lies and bigotry, they certainly aren't going to mind a few spelling mistakes. Plus it makes him seem like one of them, rather than those highfalutin members of the establishment and deep state who can spell.

I do think that the plea bargain they are making for the lawyers seems very low cost to those who carried out the crimes. Getting a few years probation seems like a very soft wrap on the knuckles.

I understand the first one, you need to start the dominoes falling, but the likes of Jenna Ellis, well she didn't even really accept her guilt. Pretty much blamed others around her for making it al up and she was simply caught up in it. Little remorse there.

And these are pretty serious offences. Attempted to overturn democracy. It really doesn't get much more serious than that in a democracy.

I would say the reduction in the severity of charges would be proportionate to the information supplied as part of the plea deal. Make of that what you will

Yeah, I get that, but it just seems that it sends out the signal that you can carry out in such a blatant, and let's be honest an arrogant way that they did, and simply blame it all on somebody else.

They made the decision to get on board, they made the decision to take part in the press conferences. They made the decision to ignore and belittle anyone who tried to point out the issues. I, personally, found the whole Jenna Ellis crying act a little hard to take yesterday. She was basically claiming that she was taken in by big bad people and never really understood what she was doing.

I get it that they are going after the big fish, and their testimony makes that much easier, but the bargain seems far too lenient to me. I mean even the restitution amounts, $5000 or something. What is that supposed to cover? THe time they wasted, the effort of behalf of the state to defend their nonsense.

If I was Trump, or whomever comes next, I would think that paying these people a couple of million to set them up for life is well worth the outcome. Trump has effectively used this whole nonsense to ever avoid having to concede defeat.

I'd bet she sees Trump doing it and thinks she will also get away with it

Its a mafia case. you have to think in those terms. they dont care about the street guys, only the capos.

I'm sure those 1488 supporter types of his like the German reference
