Trump is going to lose in November. I fear the house will try to pull some fuckery with made up claims of election fraud

I know when I’m feeling the way you’re feeling Geoff, I just limit myself to two hours each day of political news and responses for a few days. It helps me focus again on believing that Agolf Shitler will finally take that long walk off the very short pier.

So far the sex abuse case has been the only one that has had teeth. Maybe the 15 April one will, too. Plenty of powerful men have been brought down by their shriveled weiners...

I hope you're wrong, but never underestimate the stupidity of Americans.

I am still hoping for justice but rich, white, privileged, conman, idiotic and dangerous.

It is terrifying and ridiculous all at once.

I'm betting MARY. A hail mary, so to speak. Her analysis is convincing, enough of the wackos won't elect a felon, would they? Maybe so.

Might be time to try and beat him straight up instead of weaponizing the judicial system.

So why go through all of this?

The fraud case is a joke. No one claimed to be a victim, and the appeal has exposed it for the nonsense that it was.

Stormy Daniels case is a novel legal theory that's gonna get tossed.

Georgia is a mess.

Jack Smith waited too long and now isn't gonna get it done before the election

The best chance is the classified documents case where Biden has no moral high ground due to the Hur report.

Meanwhile, every Trump supporter feels that's he's being unjustly persecuted and the country is as divided as ever. Biden promised to unify and he's failed miserably.

Why is it so offensive to y’all to see Trump tried for his crimes?

How is the fraud case a joke? Are y’all so jaded that you just can’t dredge up the energy to CARE that he ran a crooked business for decades?

And stop with the “no victims” nonsense.

I am sick to death of hearing about MAGAs feelings. They don’t care about anyone else’s. And Trump ain’t the cure for anything.

If there were victims in the fraud case then name them.

Letita James sued Trump in civil court on behalf of banks she claim he defrauded.

The banks said that they weren't victims, they weren't defrauded and claimed they would still do business with Trump.

So where are the victims!?! They simply don't exist, that's why it's a joke.

It really is a genius move to charge the GOP Nominee with crime after crime after crime, only to watch all of them fail, and make a martyr of him to his supporters. Just brilliant.

The banks did NOT say they weren’t victims. They said that the fraudster paid them back.

And then they kicked him to the curb. Because he’s a liar and a fraudster. And most banks at least TRY to avoid lending to obvious crooks.

😂😂😂 He's a fraudster who honored his debt and paid it on time. Lovely.

Just cope.

One consolation of there being no verdicts in these cases before the election is that there will be no hung-juries before the election. Trump will use hung juries to claim full exoneration.

Well that's something I guess.

In truth, all Trump needs to do is avoid prison to claim victory.

The classified documents case is the best chance. If that were to go through then that would mean that Biden imprisoned his political opponent for obstruction of justice stemming from a crime that Biden himself also committed but wasn't mentally fit enough to stand trial.

It's all just sick and FUBAR. Beating Trump should be a layup. After Jan 6, it should be the easiest re-election run ever for Joe. But nope, the Biden admin is reduced to trying to imprison their political opponent, thus alienating the 70,000,000+ Americans who voted for him, all while wondering why we're so divided.

This is why.

For all his vile and boorish behavior, Trump never did actually arrest Hillary.

I guess I’ll be reading more dystopian novels in preparation for the inevitable. Oh wait! There’s Project 2025 to torture myself with. Just kidding. Not giving up yet

Yes, we’ve been frucked. It’s over. I think I’m going to turn away from the news, now.

We just passed over our last best chance.

Threats, blackmail and bribery will win every time.

I think it’s fair to ask ourselves, ‘what, actually, of the USA is there left to defend?’

It is a disappointing and tough pill to swallow, but I have to agree with the points and reasoning you make Geoff. This “bending of the knee” to fascism is abhorrent. The irony is those in power are letting the world see the true injustice in this nation without care or remorse…..But welcome to the apartheid republic of America where laws do NOT matter for straight white people, predominately republicans.

Enough of this.

I’m gonna need liberal WM to nut up!

1) Trump is not going to be re-elected.

2) He can delay justice, but he can’t deny it.

3) This discount isn’t the win he wanted.

4) MAGAs are getting worse defending themselves (see the Ronna saga).

Honestly, y’all need to step back. School James Carville while you’re decompressing then come back ready to speak truth to idiocy.
