Politics 🤡 Donald Trump

[wizard of Tauranga]

I agree with you, he is deranged. Unfortunately his idea of pursuinng a path of peace is 0verwhelmed in his other bullshit. He may well be elected legally, like the Nazis were. The question is whether US military in particular will defend their constitution. I suspect they will not. the same as the Senate and the house have betrayed the constitution.However make no mistake the Democrats are donkey deep in this as well. The key word is Donor

I think Trump has been accepted by Americans because politics in America hasn’t served the people for so long.

Drain the swamp = democracy has failed.

They would rather an idiot outsider antihero that makes a mockery of the whole system than a career politician.

Its a vote of no confidence in politics and the opposition is to dumb to realise that all they need to do is get a young, modern, person of the people from a business background (Luxon, Key type person) with no baggage to restore faith in the system and easily take down Trump.

That is bullshit.

This is Hitler all over again.

The powerful right, the dark money, used him to get a massive tax break, and to buy the SCOTUS, then they thought they could control him.
Just the same as the German industrialists thought they could with Hitler.

Now they have a powder keg ready to blow.

That visit to the gun store in South Carolina was planned to send a message.
It was a specific gun store chosen for a sinister reason.
He wants his MAGA looneys to start shooting people, not just anybody, but people he identifies e.g. judges, jurors, witnesses, election officials, other politicians

He is telling his MAGA looneys in congress to shut down the government on Monday. Why is he doing that?

Number one reason, is to cause trouble.

Number two to try and stop the government funding the Ukraine, to keep his puppet master creditor Putin happy.

Number three, to try and stop the court cases against him, or to slow them down until he gets elected and shuts the down himself.

This is serious global shite and people call if politics. It isn't , it is a continuation of his coup attempt.

Rupert Murdoch has had it with him, most of the GOP have secretly had it with him a long time ago, but nobody had the courage to stand up to him.

The MAGA looneys are about half of the GOP, so less than 30% of the population.
The world economy has left them worse off, and they see him as the answer.
He is just a populist.

Judge has ruled Trumps business committed fraud.

Trumps Lawyers in the case are being fined for bringing up nonsense arguments.

Monday he goes to trial hey. Figures in the hundreds of millions are being cited as a potential penalty.

The more damaging outcome will be financial institutions refusing to get involved with the Trump organization because it is fraudulent.

The Piper is calling.

 

[Akkerz]

This pos is going to keep us entertained until the league season begins again. Finally he may get what he fears most - financial ruin

He is out of business. He will be in receivership already.
He will appeal of course but the receivership will remain until things are sorted.
Apparently his cash flow will be his pension for POTUS and the Apprentice.

Many are saying he will be locked up pre trial. He should have been long ago.

and all the morons that give him tens of millions every time he puts out his interweb begging bowl.

and all the morons that give him tens of millions every time he puts out his interweb begging bowl.

That is going to a PAC that is supposed to be audited by the government. It is not his personal money.
The money is only to go to his political campaign and legal expenses.
Journalists have worked out that the PAC has probably spent most of what was there supporting some of Trumps lackies legal expenses as well as his own.
There will be tens of millions left of the original $250 million, but at the rate he is having to pay his lawyers that cannot last too much longer.

It’s up to the judges to gag Trump now

The judicial branch. It is empowered to punish speech if it impedes the fair administration of American justice.

Another scandal brewing.

It seemed that Crossfire Hurricane and Russia Russia (Putin's involvement with the 2016 election) had died a natural death.

Crossfire Hurricane (FBI investigation) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

but it hasn't.

It seems Special Counsel Jack Smith is sitting on it.

In the last hour of the Trump presidency Mark Meadows, Trump's Chief of Staff made a mad dash across Washington with the Crossfire Hurricane file to try and get it declassified, so he could bury it.

This came out in Cassidy Hutchinson's book last week.

He failed to get it declassified, so it went to Mar A Logo with all the other classified documents,

The question is why all this drama?

Some think the Hurricane Crossfire Investigation has a lot of "dead bodies" buried.

Very good point.

Fox News is the most watched program on Merkin Armed Forces Network.

The traitor who was pardoned by Trump for colluding with the Russians, General Michael Flynn, wanted to impose martial law before Jan 6.

His brother then got promoted to general in command of the US Army in the Pacific. He was also the guy at the Pentagon involved in the controversy where the National Guard was not called out on Jan 6. He is still there even though his brother is a Russian asset..

Nothing wrong with being a brother> Why should he be punished?

Alexander Vindman, the whistleblower on Trump's phone call to Zelensky, got the boot from the Army, and so did his brother, also a senior officer.
Vindman's brother had nothing to do with the phone call, but he got punished.

Trump knows where he stuffed up this time, he didn't get enough arse lickers in key positions beforehand.

The next GOP POTUS will know not to make the same mistake.

I think you might need to be a bit circumspect about calling out people as traitors. A lot of the evidence for Flynn being a traitor was a photo pushed by MSNBC showing Putin talking to Flynn at a dinner in Moscow. Also at the table was Jill Stein, who ran as an independant for resident. She said Putin went the rounds to all the tables, was only at the table for a brief time and did not engage in any conversation.

Vindman is an ethnic Ukrainian known for being anti Russian and pro Ukrainian.. It is entirely possible both have been treated poorly

 

[NZDoug]

IMHO, I think Trump has permanently put America into a Death Spiral
This could save the world.

fact check.

Flynn was charged with lying to the FBI, and I also think the then AG about his conversations with the Russian Ambassador in Washington.
It had nothing to do with having a pic with Putin, and WTF would want to have a pic with that guy anyway?

Not only was he charged, and convicted, but he accepted the pardon, which means admission of guilt.

So just WTF was a Trump campaign official doing speaking with the Russian ambassador? That is not his role.

The word is he was passing on a message from Trump, who was then only a candidate.
Flynn is a Russian asset.

His brother should have been moved sideways as well.

Neither Vindman was a Russian asset, of that there can be no doubt. Yet they were both marched out of the Trump White House.
They are Ukrainian by birth, funny that.
Just saying like.

I heard a retired Merkin Admiral say that Flynn should have been recalled from reserve, and placed in military custody.

Flynn is also a believer in the QAnon cult.

...and his brother is in the Merkin top brass!!!!

Back to the point, there are plenty of MAGA wankers in the Merkin top brass. Trump has his arse lickers making up list of loyalists now.
If he gets in watch them get promoted quickly.
