Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Clearly you weren't paying attention when Trump was impeached for asking the president of Ukraine to falsify evidence against Biden, and hinting that Ukraine would lose US support if he did not do so. You're clearly a Trump fanatic. Why not just admit it?

He can pay carers. My dad does that and he’s not a millionaire like Trump.

I meant in jail.

Blackcats7 · 31/05/2024 00:02

Bear in mind he boasted he could shoot someone on fifth avenue and still win the presidency.
His followers are so deluded that they will believe black is white if he says so.
But at least it shows some americans are brave and honest enough to stand up to him so publicly in such very frightening times.

If he's elected president again I wonder how he'll get on with foreign travel?
Some countries won't let people in who have a criminal record

YANBU that the justice system has prevailed.

However the possible repercussions on the ground are worrying. The USA is wild and a lot of them are riled.

This is what worries me

Still absolutely the right decision but I feel nervous about what's next.

Not Melania. She doesn't seem to have been there at court today to support him after the verdict. Or any other time.

So you're scolding people for not reading entire books about bullshit conspiracy theories, but you're not even aware that Trump has been indicted on 40 federal felony counts for mishandling classified documents? okay.

I think it's a good thing to be able to say ' I don't know enough to comment' and conversations would be much more healthy if we could say this more often.

However calling the laptop scandal a bullshit conspiracy probably means you don't know enough to comment on that either.

I wasn't scolding anyone about reading a book, I was responding to a user who literally said 'I have read everything about it ages ago' - a clearly ludicrous statement, so asked them if they had read that book.

Oh wow! What happens next? Do they give a sentence right away in the USA? Will it be custodial?

Sentencing July 11th. Trump side are disputing this

Sentencing in July. He'll probably be fined.

All you Trump apologists - you lost. Get over it. Next case please.

Precisely.

My.concern is if they start a thing about not letting on Americans who left the country whom are convicted. Like they currently do for most non Americans with a conviction
. Could we get stuck w him here?????

(Mostly joking 🙃)

Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information. Heavily left leaning liberal writers ( anyone interested in transgerism/womens rights knows how biased the entries are)

I don't know enough to comment but my understanding was they couldn't find any evidence regarding the information to prosecute but I don't know enough and might be wrong x

So him admitting he did it and saying he was absolutely right to do it is no evidence?
There's an entire Wikipedia article on his many disclosures of classified information.

There's nothing there, because if there was they would have gone in hard on that evidence as he is being absolutely gunned for.This stormy Daniels/business deal thing is the worst they could pin on him.

I'm not saying like trump, but it's clear he is being witchhunted, whilst a far greater crime is being swept under the carpet

Alan Dershowitz gave a fascinating interview a couple of weeks ago about the trial.

"because no one actually says 'I read EVERYTHING ages ago',

I just did. Don't be so silly.

GrumpyPanda · 30/05/2024 23:37

HarryPottersScar · 30/05/2024 22:24

If he does become president, can he pardon himself?

Not on this, it's state charges not federal. Assuming he even could on federal, but anything possible with this SCOTUS.

BlessedKali · 30/05/2024 23:37

It is bonkers that 'the most advanced' nation I the world (debatable) with the largest weapons has an option of only these two to head it.

BUT, out of these two shit options.. I reckon Trump is better.

tobee · 30/05/2024 23:36

Looking forward to you adding something of value @BlessedKali

BlessedKali · 30/05/2024 23:35

tobee · 30/05/2024 23:33

Why would I lie? Don't be so silly.

because you have not yet added anything of value to this conversation, because no one actually says 'I read EVERYTHING ages ago', and because I highly doubt you read the book by Miranda Devine.

Sadly people generally do not pay attention, ask questions, or look deeply at matters, but just happily receive whatever headlines their fed and feel informed on matter.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Unfortunately you're right @BlessedKali. Trump supporters will not look beyond the utterances of Trump. It's a scary prospect for Americans, so many "believers" with so many guns.Sad
