He might not be charged because of the political fallout and high likelihood of violence by delusional domestic terrorists, otherwise known as Trump supporters. But that's not a good enough reason to not indict him. The next guy that wants to try to overthrow the Republic will have a much harder time doing it if his predecessor is locked up for it. You should be in favor of him being charged so the many good people that have exculpatory evidence are allowed to testify in front of a jury, right? Unlike Liberals, I am for anyone who breaks the law to be charged and face consequences for their actions. So your stance is he will not be charged, correct?

wiffleball 4,790 Posted August 2, 2022 Attempting to overturn election results in service of Donald Trump’s lie about voter fraud in his defeat by Joe Biden, the former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani told an Arizona official: “We’ve got lots of theories.

Considering the performance or lack thereof of the Biden administration, I believe that most liberals would rather get curb stomped by DeSantis in 24 than run the risk of Trump being elected again.

At the same time, open up Hunter's laptop and prosecute him and 10% for the big guy. And at the same time open up a case against Pelosi for insider trading with her husband. Let's start there. Then we can move on to Harris funding the criminals in 2020 riots and the mayors telling cops to stand down and allow destruction, looting, killing, injuring people and cities around the US.

It's amazing to me from glancing through this thread how few of you actually watched any of the hearings. Not only did Trump personally direct the crowds to go to the capital. Not only did he direct secret service and park security to remove magnetometers after being informed that there were weapons on the crowd. He vociferously wanted to go to the Capitol and join the crowds. And then did nothing to disperse the crowds until damn everybody else had already begged them to disperse. Even his own daughter begged him to say something. And he did nothing for 187 minutes. Meanwhile, secret service agents were literally texting their families with their final goodbyes. These are all things that are revealed in the hearings. And documented. And testified under oath. I mean, the only thing he didn't do in retrospect? Was provide free shuttle buses and buckets of rocks and baseball bats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,790 Posted August 2, 2022 Like I said before, ultimately I think they're looking to tighten the screws on the GOP who will then in turn tighten the screws on trump. The GOP is already said "if you come out and announce your presidency before the midterms, we'll stop paying your legal bills." Trump doesn't actually want to be president. He's a grifter. The only reason he wants to be president? Is to make more money and to avoid any sort of prosecution or civil litigation. End of story. End of story. Period. Many of you are right in that there's a political message being sent here. The first message? Don't f****** threaten congress. People were legitimately scared. For legitimate reasons. If you want to see the video of Josh Hawley running like a b**** again? Cops getting crushed and beaten? That did irreparable damage to our country. The Visuals speak louder than anything else. The vice president hiding in the bowels of Congress? Secret service legitimately fearing for his and their own safety? Ratifying to vote at like 1:00 a.m. under massive guard? What are we, a banana republic? The second message is get the f*** out of town. And even, if not especially, the GOP is telegraphing that message as we speak. I seriously doubt Trump will ever see jail time. But they're making sure they have a bazooka aimed at his forehead if he even tries it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One, which is definitely happening, is continuing the bad pub on Trump independent if him running, and associating Trump == all repubs == evil incarnate. They need him in the news cycle for this, so closure (i.e, an indictment) is bad. The second, more speculative, is that the Left might want Trump to run because it is their only chance. DeSantis would destroy them. Trump elicits a lot of negative from the center, obviously stoked by the MSM, but there nonetheless. Basically a poker analogy is going all in on a bluff when short stacked. Sometimes you win despite the odds, vs dying a slow death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
