RLLD 4,143 Posted July 19, 2023 If we can be honest about this for a moment, this is a pointed effort arising from Democrats to prevent Trump from being able to run for President, plain and simple, and there is nothing past this factor actually in play here. Now Trump wants to elongate this thing, because if he is elected he can pardon himself. Certainly that is a key component in his math. Conversely, the Democrats want this to be fast. Trump is a threat to their power, and rather than allow Americans to elect what they want, Democrats want to hold exclusive power. Trump WILL resume improvement to the lives of people, and the Democrats fear this emphatically. I think the judge will not give either of them entirely what they want. So then it will likely boil down to how well the Trump legal team can foster delay.....and conversely how well the Democrats can avoid those delays. Now, should it be true that Trump bails out of the election, then all of this would disappear. I surmise he might be staying in as something of a "fock you" to the powerful.

Yes, Trump can be an abrasive, but no one in history has been under attack, including his family like Trump. then you have the media, FBI, & CIA doing your bidding, the very crux of our nation is fxcked. what goes around comes around though. This is not acceptable & I'm sad politics & getting elected comes before the USA & it's citizens. You can’t waive what he did away by saying “he’s abrasive”. Sorry. He is guilty of this stuff - Jan 6th being the most serious. He makes it easy for people to come after him because he’s sloppy and openly admits what he does. It’s stunning how he just tells people what illegal thing he’s done or trying to do. The response I’ll get here is some nonsense about pedocrats or whatabout this… This isn’t some new thing by the way. Much of the same was written about Bill Clinton and how he was an outsider hillbilly and they went after him. Trump himself made his entrance into the political world alluding that Obama wasn’t a legit President because something just wants right about him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you mistake savvy business acumen for crookery, but I will allow that he is unsavory. And as I have stated in the past, I have the experience of serving under a variety of leaders, and in battle where my life was on the line. I prefer the effective, if unsavory, leader over the nice guy who screws things up. I doubt I would like Donald Trump at all if I actually met him. But....if he implements policies that improve the lives of most of the citizens then it does not matter what I think of him as a person. Moreover, if even a fraction of the accountability applied to Trump were remotely applied to Biden I would be perfectly satisfied. But between the two....I cannot be sure right now who is the more corrupt or "bad", other than Biden implements really stupid policies that have predicatable outcomes....that he first denies, then tries to pretend away....and then blames others.... In terms of "leadership" he might be one of the worst I have ever seen.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
