Seems like you're just repeating the same stuff over and over.

Seems like you don't understand the meaning of corroborating evidence.

That's what happens when your SOLE SOURCE is FOS LIES. ?

The Warnings About Trump in 2024 Are Getting Louder

Quote

Donald Trump often takes the breath away with his defiance of the basic norms of American public life. (See: January 6th.) But sometimes it’s the smaller encroachments on decency that serve as a reminder of how far outside the bounds he operates. "Can you control your client?" Judge Arthur Engoron demanded of Trump’s lawyer, during the former President’s testimony on Monday in Manhattan, where he stands accused of running a fraudulent business in the state of New York. "This is not a political rally. This is a courtroom." Later, after yet another Trump soliloquy in response to a yes-or-no question, Engoron repeated his entreaty. "I beseech you," the judge said, "to control him if you can.

"

On Thursday, in an interview with Univision, Trump again made explicit what is often implicit in his vengeance-fuelled campaign: his willingness to use the justice system to go after his opponents if he is returned to the White House. Any other prospective President would have denied with all possible force a recent Washington Post report that Trump has already demanded that his aides make plans to target some former advisers who have become public critics, including his former chief of staff John Kelly, former Attorney General Bill Barr, and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley. Instead, Trump all but confirmed the story when he told the Spanish-language network that he would use the courts against his political rivals. "If I happen to be President and I see somebody who’s doing well and beating me very badly, I say, ‘Go down and indict them,’"  Trump told Univision. "They’d be out of business. They’d be out of the election.

"

There should be no surprise in this, of course. When Trump ran in 2016, he promised to jail his opponent, Hillary Clinton, and laughed and cheered and egged on his crowds when they chanted, "Lock her up! Lock her up!"



In an appearance this week on "The View," Clinton compared Trump to Adolf Hitler, who was, she noted, "duly elected" before he dismantled Germany’s democracy and turned himself into a dictator. Her main point—and it bears endless repetition between now and whatever awaits us next November—is that Trump has clearly spelled out exactly how he plans to go after core tenets of American democracy. There is no mystery here. "Trump is telling us what he intends to do," Clinton said. "Take him at his word. The man means to throw people in jail who disagree with him, shut down legitimate press outlets, do what he can to literally undermine the rule of law and our country’s values."

It’s worth noting that Clinton made those comments before Trump’s incendiary interview. He’s said it all before; he’ll say it all again. The question, with one year left on the clock, is: Who’s listening?

The tweenkie delivers a decision before the trial begins and he want to control Trump. What a plank.

 

That's right. Donald Trump is so goddamn special that he doesn't have to follow the law or observe the required decorum in court. Rules are for everybody else. 

Oh, wait, that attitude is why he's in court in the first place. 

You subs just love a bad boy. ?

Unusually disney-esque description but fairly accurate.  :)

The Democrats have shot themselves in the foot with their constant nonstop insistence that he's guilty of a crime and will be locked up any day now for the last eight years. Now voters just don't believe it they don't believe he's guilty of crimes, and they don't believe that he'll be in jail, and they believe that the dems are picking on him so they tend to support him all the more.

It is certainly not in the bag, but it is very possible and even likely that he will win the next election. And Trump being Trump the Dems fears that he will come out swinging and looking for revenge is probably completely justified.

Well this is the thing. THe dems break the rules constantly - and now try to weaponize the law against a political opponent who breaks the rules and we're all supppsed to gasp and say 'How terrible"

The reason trump gets a bump in the polls every time new charges are laid is that people recognize the hypocrisy of the dems doing it.

And now they're all panicking because he might very well get back in and clobber the lot of them with every legal investigation he can.

Ye reap what ye sow.  And now the public is immune to it.

^College drop out pretending he knows NYS law better than a sitting judge, AGAIN.

Dunning & Kruger have you down to a 'T' LMAO

When the judge has prima facie evidence in the DOCUMENTS, that's all it takes. Trump screwed up by not asking for a JURY. Duh

Of course, Trump knows he's lost, and is pinning his hopes on the corrupt SCOTUS justices he hopes owe him.

If you watched that video above, you now know how the great "insurrection" went down.

The police began shooting and tossing grenades into the crowd before any problems began.

You also know the police escorted the great "insurrectionists" around the capital...that Pelosi had a film crew there doing multiple takes of her talking to police...that the FBI knew they had operatives in the crowd egging them onto the the capital...and that AOC truly is a m0ron.

LOL...it all just falls apart under proper scrutiny. Just another reason for the necessity of retribution.

Trump Calls For Biden To Be Put In Jail, Presses AG Barr To Take Legal Action

Now he is promising (after election) to arrest a bunch of former officials (like John Kelly and Gen Milley).

For what, only he knows.

Now cue up your silly responses. Duh

Trump’s Fascistic Rhetoric Only Emphasizes the Stakes in 2024

Quote

Until 2020, Trump reserved his most offensive language for undocumented immigrants. During the 2016 campaign, he referred to them as “drug dealers,” “criminals,” “rapists.” From the Oval Office, he referred to them as “animals,” and in a 2018 tweet he said that Democrats wanted them “to pour into and infest our country, like MS-13.” This dehumanizing rhetoric went down well with many of Trump’s hard-core supporters. He also made derogatory comments about prominent Black figures, calling Representative Maxine Waters “low I.Q.” and Don Lemon, the former CNN anchor, “dumb.” He referred to Baltimore, a predominantly Black city, as a “disgusting, rat- and rodent-infested mess.”

After Trump got criminally indicted earlier this year, he pivoted to his new targets. In June, hours after pleading not guilty to federal charges of mishandling classified documents and conspiring to obstruct justice, he claimed that President Biden “together with a band of his closest thugs, misfits, and Marxists, tried to destroy American democracy.” He added, “If the communists get away with this, it won’t stop with me.” Since then, Trump has routinely adopted this sort of language, occasionally adding the term “fascists” to his repertoire, perhaps as an effort to muddle the meaning of the word. At a speech in Miami earlier this month, on the eve of the off-year election, he urged the crowd to “crush the communists at the ballot box.”

Describing his political opponents as “vermin” on Veterans Day represented a further escalation, and there is no reason to believe that he was unaware of the history he was invoking. (He also posted the same language to his social-media account, and it hasn’t been taken down.) Still, Trump’s incendiary comments were part of a whole that includes him accusing the retired general Mark Milley of treason and suggesting that he should be executed; repeatedly referring to Special Counsel Jack Smith as “deranged” and a “thug”; and constantly lobbing charges of political bias at Judge Arthur F. Engoron, who is presiding over Trump’s New York civil trial, and Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, who is overseeing the January 6th case in Washington, D.C.

Last month, Chutkan imposed a partial gag order on Trump, in which she warned him not to make public statements attacking the prosecutors, court staff, or witnesses in that trial, which is set to begin next March. During his speech in New Hampshire, Trump blatantly flouted this order. He again referred to Smith as “deranged” and a “Trump-hating prosecutor,” and he went on: “his wife and family despise me much more than he does.” It remains to be seen if Chutkan will take any additional action against Trump. But, whatever happens, Trump’s rhetoric is only further raising the stakes for the 2024 election.

All Presidential contests are important, of course. But this one is shaping up as a struggle for the future of the country—a struggle in which one of the major political parties is under the control of a would-be strongman, who, during his Veterans Day speech, also took the opportunity to praise the governing styles of Xi Jinping and Viktor Orbán. It’s a struggle in which the former President’s associates are reportedly busy preparing post-election plans to staff the Justice Department with Trump loyalists who are willing to target his opponents; to invoke the Insurrection Act and dispatch the military to political demonstrations; and to build giant camps to hold undocumented migrants. In other words, it’s a struggle to prevent the election of a President whose embrace of fascistic imagery and authoritarian governance goes well beyond what comes out of his mouth. That, unfortunately, is where we are. The reality cannot be avoided. 

"Vermin" is sine qua non of fascists Hitler and Mussolini
