YoBuckStopsHereTrump is fucked
TropicalDingdongTrump is fucked
Super fucked. And the Repubs are anchored to him. Lets keep it that way for a couple decades.
ChozoIt sounds like he's gonna get hit with RICO.
Alexa, order more popcorn.
Update if you haven’t seen it: they went to RICO!
Alexa, cancel that. Make it champagne, instead.
Charge 1: RICO!
Can someone explain this to me like I’m an idiot?
SquishyPandaDevRICO is an acronym that stands for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations. It’s used for organized crime. The short of it is it allows prosecutors to add to enhanced penalties.
Is he going to jail?
Homie was charged under the Espionage Act. Not in GA, that’s Jack Smith’s case. You think they’ll let him just chill out at mar-a-fucko for the rest of his days? Where any foreign operative has access?
I literally have an erection that won’t go away. This has never happened from news before…
𝔼𝕩𝕦𝕤𝕚𝕒The most deliscious thing (and worrying if I’m being honest) about all of this is that his biggest cheerleader, Magic The Gathering Majorie, is a representative of Georgia. Either this all happens under her watch and she’s powerless to “take the heat off a guy” or she will pull every favor she can in her own state to reduce anything she can for him.
I forsee not only there to be many hiccups, but maybe even Watergate type charges for her office for meddling with the courthouse itself to try and fuck with the system. I would like to be wrong but this is a case that brings, perhaps not the actual charge but the spirit of, treasonous behavior. Anyone willing to end the democratic way of doing things for a dictator, will absolutely come to bat if it fails to try again.
Weren’t the Republican politicians in Congress told to back TF off of New York’s case, because they were trying to meddle there, too?
His lead over Republican presidential rivals has widened since the New York charges were filed in April, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling.
But in a July Reuters/Ipsos poll, 37% of independents said the criminal cases made them less likely to vote for him, compared to 8% who said they were more likely to do so
How can someone see Trump been charged again and again, as something that makes him more compelling to vote for. I know the Republicans have put their egg in that basket(case), but as an independent, seeing all those charges, and think “Well, that works for me!” I don’t get it…
I get the feeling it’s like the DNC not backing Sanders or trying to push Hillary through even though she had some not insignificant baggage. The RNC knows he’s got name recognition and beating the free publicity would probably be difficult. Also, if they don’t there’ll be blood in the water from their small fringe extremist groups.
So, the RNC is going to (probably ‘have to’) back him, for the free publicity he’s already getting and support from their extreme left, and make him a house hold name for the republicans. He already won once, and some people will romanticize his last 4-years in office (idk how TF they can do that, with everything we saw. But FoxNews’ propaganda machine was and will be running on overdrive).
They’ll continue to push the whole ‘two tier Justice system’, ‘political persecution’, and ‘if he could come for Trump (regardless if he’s a corrupt and treasonous mobster), he could come for you (hopefully just a normal law abiding citizen)…’ narratives. Super easy, but terrible all around.
You’d think losing a fair fight would breed competition toward supplying better and better competitors. But, they don’t want to compete fair. They can’t win fair. The Democratic Party took up the progressive liberal flag, and educated and large mixed communities heavily weigh toward that banner.
They’d literally have to shift their goals left to be less extreme, and just wait for their party, and the democratic one, to adjust. They’d lose the next election, sure. But, they’d certainly be able to pick up the next one if they kept pushing the new message over 4-8 years.
And that’s only if they cared about their constituents. But, they don’t. They only care about the consolidation of power in their minority group of leaders.
They think criminal charges means he’s pissing off liberals instead of… You know… Being a criminal.
