The Real timschochet

Who cares what he says now? He made a national ban possible. He made all the state bans possible. This is all on him. Plus the guy changes his mind every 20 seconds anyhow. Why are you defending him?

My 2 year old neighbor could debate Trump and win.

Well now see there’s a problem with that. Trump says he didn’t bang her. But his attorneys have floated that he paid her off, not for campaign reasons, but to hide the affair from Melania. So which is it? But personally I don’t think he testifies at all. He can’t risk it; he lies too much.

There was a world before Dobbs and a world after it.

He has to sit in court 4 days a week for months starting next Monday. And he’s not allowed to leave. He’ll have to listen to testimony describing what a liar and criminal he is. Ought to be hilarious.

“Donald Trump did this”. Between now and Election Day Democrats just have to keep repeating this over and over. Republicans will not be able to run away from this no matter how they try. They are royally screwed.

Yeah this narrative is about 3 months old and won’t fly any longer. Check the polls lately? Trump is the one who desperately needs a debate. But it doesn’t really matter.

I don’t think Trump is competent enough to handle a debate with Biden; he’d get his ass kicked just like before.

It seems to me that in your eyes the FBI is corrupt only when they produce a result that you don’t like politically. Otherwise you have no problem with them. I note that you regard the mainstream media the same way.

This all makes a lot of sense to me. I just wish you gave the FBI similar credit and trust on other issues of more consequence to this nation.

Deserves a t-shirt. Of course everyone would laugh at you.

OJ was found not guilty due to jury nullification. I’m sure there are some who would acquit Trump for the same reasons but hopefully they won’t be on the jury.

Very telling. And quite depressing. Hopefully most people won’t share your refusal to look at any facts or details.

Again this is extremely general. You make no specific claims whatsoever. And when you look at the specific charges your theory falls apart.

The problem with this theory is that she was paid off a few days after the Access Hollywood tape came out. And the prosecution appears to have proof and testimony that this was the reason they did it- for the campaign. So if that’s Trump’s defense it will likely fail. But as of this point it’s not Trump’s defense- he is denying the affair altogether. Why did Cohen pay her off? Who knows, nothing to do with Trump. Good luck with that.

You’re just making general comments. Why specifically should this case be overturned? How specifically is it flawed?

The problem with arguing that this is total BS or that it’s purely political is this: he really did commit a crime here. It’s something that SHOULD be a crime. It’s something that if anyone else committed it would also be a crime. It’s a crime that should always be prosecuted. Given these facts it’s hard to be dismissive.

Why would it be overturned? The basic charge here is that Trump paid off Stormy Daniels in order to help win the 2016 election. That’s illegal. It’s a felony. The evidence is there to back up the charge. What would be the justification for overturning it?

You guys keep pretending that Trump is some kind of alpha because he bangs porn stars. Dude paid for it. He’s paid for every sex he’s ever had (except for the rapes) in one form or another. Not impressive.

So the hush money trial begins next Monday apparently. Conservatives are arguing that (1) it’s a nothing case (2) it’s politically motivated (3) the public isn’t paying attention. Nobody knows how this is gonna go because it’s that rare event in this country that has never happened before. No President has ever been on trial for a felony before. You can guess how this is all going to play out, you can try and dismiss the public amount of attention and reaction, but in truth we just don’t know a damn thing. I will make one prediction: IF Trump is found guilty by a jury and becomes a convicted felon, there will be a significant change in the way he is perceived by this country. Whether or not it changes the election I can’t say. But the change will be there.

Many conservatives, perhaps a majority, are like @HellToupee and don’t give a crap about this issue, never did. Problem is the conservative movement deliberately aligned itself with religious folks in order to win more elections. It was always a shotgun wedding. But now they’re going to have to pay the price

Similar logic is used for every conspiracy theory I have ever read about in my life. Which is why there is no way to disprove conspiracy theories. It’s quite amusing to watch @Jon_mx, perhaps the single biggest purveyor of conspiracy theories in this forum (which is really saying something) act with rational common sense for once. But hey I applaud it.

No credit for backing you up on this Jon?

I think @Hardcore troubadour and @Maximum Overkill have a point: why should anyone really care about abortion? Republicans should run with this. I can see the campaign ads now:
