trump paid his "fair share"

[ecu1984]

The $175M isn't a fine that he pays, it just a bond that allows the appeal.
If he loses the appeal (and I hope he doesn't) the $475M is demanded again.
I hope at a minimum, the appeals court reduces the fine

In other news, the criminal trial date is set for 4/15 and he is already pissing that judge off too with his grandstanding.
He's going to need better lawyers if he keeps running his mouth

“You are literally accusing the Manhattan DA’s office and the people assigned to this case of prosecutorial misconduct and of trying to make me complicit in it and you don’t have a single cite to support that position?” Merchan said.
Merchan found it “really disconcerting” that Trump’s lawyers would accuse Bragg’s office of prosecutorial misconduct without having case law to support their argument

[ecu1984]

You and ECU remind me of most house republicans now.

and you remind me of how house democrats act if someone doesn't agree exactly with them

[ecu1984]

Is he Jesus? Absolutely not. Is he being railroaded? Absolutely.

He did more good than any other president that I can think of and he did it with both parties fighting him and stabbing him in the back. I wish he had done a lot more. His battle against regulation is huge. Our freedom is being regulated away by a bureaucracy that isn’t elected. I am pipedreaming but I would love to see half of the alphabet agencies dissolved. It would probably be helpful if he would shut his mouth 75% of the time and stop his thumbs 90% of the time but that’s not him. You get what you see, he is not a chameleon, he is a loud mouth yankee asshole.

DeSantis looked promising but then he went tilting at windmills and Disney and just lost focus.

and I have said nothing but the same, I agree with all this
none of that has anything to do with his morals, integrity and character.
I wonder if Melania will be at his side for the porn star hush money trial?
My point the whole time is that it's a shame that out of all the people in this country,
we have to choose between these two......that's what's fucked up

[scatter shot]

I'm choosing between two parties, Dems or Reps and what their party's platform. The Dems as a whole are some evil bastards. When talking to someone else about politics and the direction of this country, I try not to use Trump or Biden's name. It's a distraction from the real issue, what is America going to look like years down the road.

Yall focusing too much on a few trees and ain't seeing the forest.

Christians aren't the ones treating Trump like Christ...it's the rest of the world that's treating Trump like they treated Christ.

spot on

Oh, and fuck Climp5in too
1 is coming

Trump will get same votes he got last time plus some. Everyone knows at this point who they are voting for. Trump won’t get majority of women or beta men vote. He scares them. I know some men that won’t for him because their wives hate him or their children in college have become liberal. When I was growing up, men would call your ass to the carpet. That makes some uncomfortable these days. Anyone saying he’s being railroaded then in the next breath say it’s his own fault are not supporting him. The lies and charges he’s had to fight from day one is unbelievable. Should he just take it and go away? Would you? That’s what makes me like him. He’s not a pussy. I voted for Cruz in his first primary. I don’t like loud mouth Yankees. He ended up being the best president in my lifetime. We had good policy, prosperity and peace. That makes him my loud mouth yankee. I hope he survives this and continues to fight. It’s Trump or the swamp. That’s your choices.

Show me a politician other than Trump, whose net worth decreased while in office. If Trumps has increased post office it’s because he started Truth not because he is on some boards and taking back door deals.

Give me a viable alternative who will fight the bureaucracy and I will support them. In the meantime start talking Trump up to others instead of running him down. You and ECU remind me of most house republicans now.

PREACH IT!!!

TRUMP 2024

[ecu1984]

I am voting for him and hope he wins

[Gander]

One thing for sure, Trump is getting a lot of air time with all these silly court cases. And the optics are playing to his favor. Judge decisions are being reversed. Let's face it middle America doesn't care much for big government going after Trump. They see it for what it is. Democrats going after their opponent via the judicial system. That will only Garner him empathy. And when you compare the current state of things in contrast to what it was like during the Trump administration, the choice will be clear. Americans are still struggling due to the cumulative effects of inflation. That middle 10% of independent voters will lean towards Trump if he doesn't screw it up.

I don't know much about this hush money case but either way, the prosecution will have an uphill battle. Cohen is an admitted liar and a porn start has little credibility. But I guess we'll see how it goes. I predict it goes down in a ball of flames.

now trump is Christ?

i've heard it all....

He has never gone 6 months of his life without screwing up. He’s incapable. He would be president now if he just let Biden talk and display his incompetence.

[drwilly]

It blows my mind that people actually believe Trump could've done anything different or better and won the election.

exactly.

the man recieved more votes than any president had in history.

[scbulldog]

How do you not remember such recent events? Biden never left his damned basement and the press covered for him. Biden did not display anything at all. Trump would have won if the press and various government people had not discredited the Biden laptop story alone. Never mind all the other shady shit that went on.

So Joe didn't display his incompetence? He's been displaying that for 40 years & that was prior to his dementia. And how has Trump screwed up exactly?
