    Tucker Carlson claiming that the FBI are gonna charge him.

    I hope they do. Fuck that guy.

    He may have parted ways with Trump in recent times, but he was all in previously.

    Pastor associated with Pete Hegseth says Muslims should be banned from office holding, and minerets should be banned because 'the public space should belong to Christians'. Also says that Catholic processions shouldnt be allowed if they have "idolatry" and images of the Virgin Mary. Asked what about Catholic Eucharistic processions, says it would depend on whats happening in the procession.

    Some US Evangelicals remain anti Catholic though I think its a minority.

    Is anyone surprised about China & Taiwan, Trump is rapidly draining the US militaries ammunition stockpiles and the Chinese have been carefully counting every missile used.

    The narrative about how Trump cosying up to Russia was some 4d chess move versus China have aged like sour milk, as was obvious even at the time.

    The same evidence that most abuse cases go before the courts on. Witness testimony & circumstantial evidence.

    Do you think he needs to be caught red handed in a video or picture or something to prove he is a child molestor?

    Almost all of the cases that come before the courts have no smoking gun evidence and are based on witness evidence.


    The "Katie Johnson" Lawsuit (2016)

    In 2016, a woman using the pseudonym "Katie Johnson" filed a federal lawsuit in New York.The Allegation: She claimed that in 1994, when she was 13 years old, she was raped by Trump and Epstein at a Manhattan apartment during a series of parties.

    The filing included supporting affidavits from two anonymous witnesses who claimed to have seen Trump with the girl. One witness stated they saw Trump and the plaintiff in a bedroom together at one of Epstein's parties

    The lawsuit was voluntarily withdrawn by the plaintiff just days before the 2016 election. Her lawyer at the time cited "numerous threats" against the woman as the reason for dropping the case.

    Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice released previously withheld FBI memos (Form 302s) from 2019 that detail interviews with an unnamed woman.

    The Allegation: The woman told FBI agents that Epstein introduced her to Trump in the early 1980s when she was between 13 and 15 years old. She alleged that Trump attempted to force her to perform oral sex, and that when she bit him in resistance, he struck her and had her removed from the room.

    While the FBI was unable to verify the assault itself, journalists from The Post and Courier recently verified peripheral details of her story, such as her family history, residential moves, and specific events (like a Rick James concert) she mentioned during the interviews.

    Let's take a moment to acknowledge the sheer number of times that Trump appears in the files. That's not taking into account what the DoJ has most likely reneaged on as the most damning stuff (because you fukcing now they have)

    Epstein was convicted of procuring a person under 18 for prostitution and also charged with sex trafficking of minors.

    Trump is mentioned nearly 10 TIMES more than Epsteins incarcerated co-conspirator.

    Add in his disregard for women, his admiration for Epsteins "on the younger side" their "great secret" birthday card the fact he would **** his own daughters if he could and you get a pretty clear picture.

    Now add in all the insane sh1t he's done over the last 10 years, his disregard for everything but himself and tell me, on the balance of probabilites that this guy is not a child abuser. If you can say it with a straight face, maybe we need to get your hard drives checked.

    I doubt that there is any mechanism for him to do that. Elections are a state affair, and federal elections are timed by Congress. Even if he were to start a real insurrection somehow, let alone a fake one, it would be up to the States to decide how to hold the mid-terms and any rescheduling would still require Congressional approval. The Civil War was arguably an insurrection, and that didn't stop elections.

    hes just a nasty fcuking cnut, thats clearly guilty of all of the above!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 592 ✭✭✭pah


    rescheduling would still require Congressional approval

    Honestly?? Trump has been giving 2 fingers to congress for the last 15 months and you think he wouldn't try and declare some situation or use an obscure Act to justify having no elections? Laughable. I'll see you back here when it happens 🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,321 ✭✭✭the whole year inn


    So no evidence , just trying to attack me and deflect.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,321 ✭✭✭the whole year inn




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 592 ✭✭✭pah


    Are you being purely pedantry here or do you believe Trump is not a child abuser?

    I iliterally wrote it out for you, witness testimony and circumstancial evidence. I don't have any photos of him abusing kids. What would you consider to be "evidence" and do you not consider the above Evidence?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,053 ✭✭✭Ozymandius2011


    Bad news for Republicans in Ohio senatorial and gubernatorial races. A Republican aligned poll has ex Senator Sherrod Brown, who was a Senator for Ohio for 18 years until 2025, leading Republican John Husted by 3 points. Also, Amy Acton is 10% ahead of Vivek Ramaswamy, another Trump-aligned billionaire. Ramaswamy is underperforming among Republicans with 65% support, compared to Acton getting 82% among Democrats.

    So a court case was put against him and then withdrawn , we dont know anything about the witness or the case other than apparently there was 2 witness .

    FBI done an investigation into another allegation and couldnt find anything but you belive it because this random woman said it.

    If there was anything in the Epstein files I would be certain Joe Biden would have leaked it. So what if hes mentioned in it nothing I seen in it shows he is guilty. Was there not 100s of people reviewing the files are all these people keeping a trump secert?

    He might have said some bad things and got with porn star but thats some leap to being a pedo and if you were to call him one I would want some strong evidence.

    Then you finish off your post by suggesting I might be a pedo. What a class act!That your go to move?

    You put forwards a strong, well-articulated argument that Trump is not a paedophile.

    You're right, just because he is a proven rapist doesnt make him a paedophile.

    Just because his best friend was a massive paedophile and people trafficker doesn't make Trump a paedophile.

    Just because he wished his paedo best friends missus all the best while she is imprisoned for being complicit in the trafficking of young women and for sex offences doesnt make him a paedo.

    Just because he is doing his best to limit the publication of the Epstein Files through massive redaction and destroying files doesn't mean he has something to hide with the absolutely massive number of times he is referenced in them.

    Just because his agencies have been suppressing accepted evidence that he raped young trafficked women doesnt prove him to be a paedo.

    I was thinking the other day, have we seen any email from Trump to Epstein? There must be thousands of them like the birthday card, they were best buds for decades but I cant think of any, have they just all been suppressed and nobody in the media asks about it? This is the strangest thing about the files to me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,132 ✭✭✭Widdensushi


    Why isn't there more coverage of what he is doing to Cuba,,cut off their fuel supplies for power and food supplies, hospitals with no power, people dieing because of it.

    I dont have to put up a defence , Im not his lawer , but if its so clear why cant you show me any clear evidence of what you say.Straight of the bat he is not a proven rapist , he was proven guilty by a jury of Sexual Abuse . You cant even get your first point correct.



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 17,703 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manic Moran


    The elections are run by the states, not the federal government. He cannot stop a state by declaring some situation, there is no authority for him to allow for it, a state is an entirely separate jurisdiction.

    I got it, people believe that Trump would like to postpone the elections, but has anyone actually put forward a viable method for him to do so? It's hyperbole which helps nobody.

    Forget it, no 'evidence' would convince him, it would probably only confirm why he admires him so much anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,667 ✭✭✭amacca


    Same reason there isn't any coverage of all the other **** he's been up to....the news cycle moves on and it moves on to thr next **** up....the current asshat manoeuvre is his jump the shark moment in Iran....the next might be when another power decides to follow through on some of their long held ambitions

    The corrupt arrogant stupid bastard may have either accelerated or made inevitable further conflict which escalates.....this **** is already beyond the control of the US.....we are now depending on restraint snd good judgement from other "leaders"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,321 ✭✭✭the whole year inn


    I would need more than what was put forward as 'evidence' .

    If he didnt go to war with Iran you would be calling him weak for not doing it . It doesnt matter what he does its always the wrong decision, its unreal.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,087 ✭✭✭Paulzx


    He's only a proven Sex Abuser?

    Sure thats all right so. Its not like he's a rapist or anything serious🙄



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 33,049 Mod ✭✭✭✭Podge_irl


    If he didnt go to war with Iran you would be calling him weak for not doing it

    This is incredibly, incredibly stupid and a truly bizarre figment of your imagination. Not a single sane soul was calling for war with Iran, it is entirely pushed by him and his cabinet of sycophants and his lackies have all fallen in line (the same lackies who were claiming Obama/Biden/Harris would start wars with Iran and it would be catastrophic).

    Perhaps you could give us a list of all the right decisions?

    While you prepare that long list 😀, any chance of an answer to my previous question?

    Sex abuser/rapist or Potato/Pothato

    What if it was your daughter?
