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.

This x 100%

Whatever happened to Kamala Harris ? Would she not have been a better candidate ?
Are there no other politicians in Trump's party ?

That's what I don't understand.

What a load of Fox induced bollocks.

My money's on paid Russian troll.

Naran · 31/05/2024 01:07

yabu to be over the moon. Why are you over the moon if he can still stand?

Of course it was right for him to be found guilty. I certainly won’t dispute that he’s guilty of this stuff and a load of far more serious stuff.

but the real problem is that America seems to be facing another election between trump and Biden and both are bloody senile. I can’t understand how such a shocking shit show can be allowed. It’s so dangerous for the whole world.

Begsthequestion · 31/05/2024 01:09

Trump is a batshit as his supporters.

@BlessedKali, if you think Biden sounds senile you cannot have been listening to Trump lately.

Not just lately. Dude wasn't able to string two coherent sentences together even while in office. People were arguing at the time the worst thing the media could do to him would be a straight 20-min transmission of his rambling.

baffld · 31/05/2024 01:15

Enjoy yourselves folks, WW3 just got a whole lot closer as the office of POTUS carries zero credibility from now on, forever.
If I was a US citizen, I wouldn't be planning any foreign holidays in a hurry.

lovelysoap · 31/05/2024 01:17

I think the conviction is flimsy and will be overturned on appeal. It looks like foul play by the democrats due to the timing and the rumblings getting louder about Biden and Hunter and I think it will galvanise the right, orange mans popularity has arguably soared since the legal action began.

I think trump is too old and divisive for a second term but the dems have handed it to him on a plate here

From what we have been told it is the right decision.

but sadly I can see there being a lot of trouble in New York and the rest of America tonight.

With any luck this monstrous white settler imperialist entity, the most bigoted, racist, dehumanizing entity that has ever existed, will collapse.

We talk about Nazi Germany and Apartheid South Africa, but those were specific eras of both places, hence the prefix. With the white settler imperialist entity america, it's not an era, its its entire being, one praised by Hitler in 1928 for quote "gunning down the millions of Redskins to a few hundred thousand, and now keep the modest remnant under observation in a cage". That's why no-one sees any Natives, few are left after the ethnic cleansing.

These "savages" (the dehumanizing term the slave owning tyrant thomas jefferson labelled them in the white settler imperialist document the "declaration") were men, women and children. And this image below is one of the two statues this white settler entity placed outside the Capitol building (a building built by slaves which tyrants like jefferson, washington and co. owned) depicting a female savage and the superior white imperialist icon Columbus.

So much naivety on here. I am shocked. Whatever the opinion on Trump, this was clearly a political trial. It is a terrible day for the USA. Please research and think.

Erm, yeah. The whole trial was about Trump paying people off and lying about it to further his political campaign.🤷‍♀️

Waffle78 · 31/05/2024 01:25

I am that epic tantrum he had was appalling. People died because of him. Not to mention him going on a drive by to wave to his fans. When he had tested positive for COVID.

HonoraBridge · 31/05/2024 00:48

It is not about being a “Trump apologist”. It is about the rule of law.

He was charged, tried and found guilty of breaking the law. In a court of law in accordance with the law.

Do you think he should be above the law because he once held the position of president @HonoraBridge?

therealcookiemonster · 31/05/2024 01:40

it will make no difference as he will win the election from jail

I've been following on the BBC website and when the first charge came back as guilty I accidentally shouted out loud: "Quite right too - arsehole!"

Wish I had remembered that my bedroom window was open - someone was walking past and I heard them say: "Oh... quiet night in!" 😳

That's possibly the most deranged rant I've ever read on here.

I doubt it.

His conviction may increase his support amongst die hard Trump supporters, but it will alienate law abiding, centrist American voters.

The Republican Party would be off their rocker to make him their next presidential candidate. Most people are sick of lying bastards who piss on their head and tell them it's raining.

Anyway, when's the next Trump trial and will he be let of jail to attend it?

I was just pondering earlier, if by some miracle he did end up in jail, would it give a jolt to some of his voters to sit up and say enough. They might not shout it from the rooftops that they're no longer supporters, but they might privately draw the line at voting for a felon who's been in prison.

Cottagepiefortea · 30/05/2024 22:27

Delighted, but I think it’s a hollow victory.

He’s not going to prison and will be in the white house before the end of the year.

Be in the White House before the end of the year???

That's impossible

That's what I don't understand.

No one polled better Biden early on in the primaries to be dem candidate.

Kamala Harris is not popular.

Look I don't know how these Trump apologists think they have a leg to stand on. It's all a pathetic attempt to distract. We all saw with our own eyes what happened on January 6th. It was played out live on tv in front of the world. Trump incited it. He watched on knowing full well his own vice president was being threatened with being killed .

Trump is not interested in the rule of law. He's not interested in America. He's not interested in the people of America. He's interested in himself. That's it.

Excuse me, but this beautifully illustrates the curse of AIBU, that this should be posted here, instead of in a forum on politics or current events.

I think it will do the opposite, it will reinforce their belief that trump is being targeted, it will feed the conspiracy theories and it will increase his support

I can definitely see it doing that too, but I do think some might take a step back and think. The 'They' is such a massive group that it's impossible to predict the behaviour afterwards.

Yeah but what you gonna do? He committed crimes. You can't just say "oh well, it's gonna embolden his crazy base, let's just forget about it!"

OneRedSandal · 30/05/2024 22:17

Good. If he wins the presidency after this, America will become (even more of) a laughing stock.

With the choices being either Aa criminal, scuzbucket and azzhat or Ba dementia ridden puppet patient, scuzbucket and azzhat; we already ARE the laughing stock! Me--I am just crying out of frustration and wondering where the real candidates are hiding. If Trump and Biden are the USA's choices, we are one hell of a fucked up nation. We need a capable and honest third party, but neither the Rs or Ds will ever, ever allow one to get established here. Many have tried, none have succeeded.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 30/05/2024 23:15

'They'? Who do you mean - judges, juries, law-abiding people generally?

The pedophiles in the basement of Hillary's pizza parlour? Jewish people who start all the forest fires by firing lasers from outer space? George Soros and his minions spying on us through our microwaves ovens? Who knows who these people consider "they"?
