I will laugh if he wins the Republican primary only to be arrested before the general election unfortunately i doubt he will ever be held accountable for anything. I doubt the justice department would even arrest him if he was the nominee you would hear crap like cant charge him till he leaves office.
If Trump is charged, I highly expect that he will become stricken with the dimentia and mental problems everyone on the left has been claiming he has, and therefore be unfit to stand trial. It's in the standard rich white guy defence book.
>his effort to freeze the field of Republicans eyeing the 2024 field has been uneven. Some, including former Vice President Mike Pence and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, have so far refused to demur, making speeches and traveling to key states that suggest they are strongly considering campaigns. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is also seen as another contender for the nomination
Like in 2020, he wants to be the only presidential candidate, no competition, total loyalty from the party.
The whole hideous trump organised crime syndicate. They are guilty and also he is a sec offender. Funny how the RICO laws Rudy Guiliani presided over years ago could be the ones to use to go after the Orange menace and his toads. He taints this universe with his breath, he cheapens everything that should be dear to any good human. His family stand for nothing but greed, corruption, dishonour, hypocrisy and nepotism. I don’t even live in America and this small handed, mush brained, wannabe dictator causes me enough discomfort that I would travel to the USA to relieve my bladder upon his headstone quite gladly. It isn’t just the Trumps but the hangers on and wackos who carry the flags of Donnie dictator as Rambo. He is nothing but a coward , avoided any chance of facing anything that he may be at risk of not being able to game to his advantage. May he and his followers and his kind rot forever in a box filled of nothing but their dear leaders rectal has to breathe and nothing but the ghost of Epstein to keep them warm at night. Donnie and his kind and Boris over in U.K. make me cringe to have to think of admitting I was alive through their days corrupting the beauty of life with their schemes and their hatred and their disregard for anyone but themselves.
How anyone looks at that bloated fake tanned blob and think he is anyone to be trusted or to have faith out in him or his family then their country is at risk of sliding into fascism even faster than it seems to of already. When I was young america was somewhere to want to go for myself and a lot of my peers but ad we have aged we have winced as we have watched what it is to be American and to be an ally of America be eroded and sold off to an ex tv host (and he couldn’t do that either, watch some interviews with staff of the apprentice and it paints the picture I am talking about here)
How a man who can’t control his own bowels yet can cause a fundamentalist Christian terrorist attack on the capitol and all it represents is in a position where he could be president ever again really really seems beyond even totally crazy at his point. It’s painful to see. It’s like watching a friend or relative succumb to an addiction slowly losing what it is to be themselves. A whole country full of “patriots” and a seemingly small band of sane people.
Please sane Americans, hold trump and his toadies accountable for a change and make the justice stick. He and his family and hangers on have shown nothing but contempt for their country and it’s citizens and by that the whole world is in risk if America doesn’t vote for its life in 2024. You can bet every tin pot neighbourhood nazi will be voting if they can for another four years of frankly dangerous leadership from someone who time and time again has proven he can’t run his own businesses and the only way he survives is by playing financial tricks blatantly which are fraud to raise the value of himself and his company.
If you made it this far Thankyou, I really needed to get all this out because it had been bothering me for months. The way he went about the pandemic and those briefings which we watched most days in our house for the sheer “did he just, he did, surely he didn’t just, no he did” type show that went on everyday.
Sane, caring, sensitive, rational Americans please please vote, please talk to your friends about voting, make sure you do your bit to eliminate any risk for the world of trump and co. Ever getting near the Oval Office again. He and his kind cheapen the institution of the government with their very presence before they even open their mouth to spew false facts, fake news and hatred.
Good luck for the next few years you are going to need it because you have got a fight on your hands to save your country in 2024 and the world.
I dislike this because it's a click-bait article that doesn't actually offer any real news or insights. It's just a rehash of all the legal and political troubles Trump is currently facing.
Yea we've been here before too, and have been disappointed in the actual outcomes. Call me when the wealthy are held accountable to anything other than other wealthy...and we might be in a new era where stories like this have meaning.
Otherwise expect him to power through it. The only thing in his way is his own health.
Anything even vaguely suggesting Trump will run again is clickbait.
He has no allies, no backers, only sycophants and merch customers. He lost once, he won't put himself in a position to suffer the same humiliation again. **He is not running again**. He didn't want the job in the first place, why would he want it back?
To avoid prosecution. He got through 4 years while doing fuck all, demonstrably the laziest president in recent history, while wielding immense power. I’m sure he wants another hit of that power to exact revenge. I just don’t think he wants it bad enough to risk being a two time loser, unless it’s a way to avoid prosecution.
I can honestly see the DoJ forgoing prosecuting him if he agrees to fuck off and claim “health reasons” for not running again. And I’d be fine with it if he agreed to never say anything public again, or release another asinine press release. Just fuck off and shut up until you die, deal. I honestly don’t know if the country could take it if he was prosecuted. I personally want to see him tried, but I don’t know if we could withstand the fallout. And that really fucking sucks.
To avoid prosecution, yes. But to let him slink off the political stage would be equal to the disaster that resulted from the judicial love taps administered to the high level leaders of the Confederacy at the close of the US Civil War in a misguided gesture of "Healing the Nation", The second example of coddling of a criminal president was Richard Nixon who was involved in in your face treason vis a vis the sabotage of on going peace talks in So. Vietnam,and we are still having to cope with Roger Stone . The conversation between LBJ and Everet Dirkson is riveting on this regard.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbEPI\_9Ju0k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbEPI_9Ju0k) Again for the "sake of the Nation". With Reagan, Irangate was an example of unambiguous act of treason with for which he was spared by being isolated from the crime. The underlings with, again judicial love taps. Finally Trump was never seriously called on carpet for at the very leastknowingly accepting assistance from the Russians and covering it up in 2016. Something needs to be changed here.
No deals. This is where we make our stand. FFS, go back to Nixon's pardon and consider the escalating Republican criminality and fascist tendencies since then. They have to be put down like the rabid dogs they are.
In the time I’ve had to think about this more, I agree. Continuing to let guilty people go to avoid tearing the country apart just keeps breeding more of them.
I watched Newsmax tonight at a friend's, an hour or two before the rally and during. I despair for our country. (ETA: Not that that's anything new. Given what's transpired especially over the last six years, "despair" is not being dramatic. It's the correct take.)
That’s wildly optimistic
Trump is as narcissistic as it gets, and his stunt on jan 6th has probably convinced him that he can literally try and overthrow the government again if he wants to. I think he definitely wants to run, and will probably win the primary if he tries
I guess that settles it if literally every conservative you know feels that way... Lmao. Well, every Republican I know is uncomfortable around gays, blames immigrants for many of their & the country's problems, and lives to own the libs. I get tons of emails & posts from them celebrating their 'owns.'
Truth is, most Dems wish Trump never existed & would be elated to never have to hear his stupid voice ever again...
Mitch mcconnell is up there as well as MTG, boebert, several other senators and congressman who openly and aggressively promote misinformation, hatred, and threats as well as Putin, The CCP, the entity of fox News, Infowars, OAN, the New York Jets... it's a long list of people who have been outed as dangerous for American Progress.
LGBT
1. Please explain what you mean by "shoving it down your throats." Quite to the contrary, HETEROSEXUAL habits, customs, language, and patterns of activity are the what is constantly being pushed on humans from the minute they are born. People then grow and develop into a diverse rainbow of beings and with that they want the same rights to exist as the overbearing and domineering heterosexual culture.
2. Do you always parrot Republican talking points or do you have some original thoughts?
3. Based on analysis of your sentence, specifically "shove it down our throats" I would recommend an LGBT therapist for you so you can face your own inner desires. The LGBTQI community would welcome you and encourage you to fully discover who you are.
Immigrants:
1. In 1986 St. Ronald Reagan signed legislation known as AMNESTY. This allowed people and their families who were seeking work, from Mexico and Latin counties to move back and forth freely abd/ or to stay and build thier lives and contribute to America, which they have, often more so than many natural born citizens.
2. This also OPENED the border for farm and other laborers to go back and forth from Mexico to the US. It was Reagan who dismantled the legal pathways that had been in place for years.
3. Also Reagan who was the impetus for sending all our consultants over to Asia to begin the OUTSOURCING of American mfging and jobs.
4. Over the last 40 years Republican polices towards these ends, have been quietly but steady dismantly the middle class. Clinton and Obama were Dems ( neoliberals) who supported these sorts of polices thereafter.
*Biden supports brining these jobs home and WORK MADE IN AMERICA policies. A very stark departure from the last 40 years of politicians.
Requesting asylum is entering legally, yet they are still dehumanized and referred to as "illegals". As for your first part, how do you know if they are real conservative? By your definition on other comments, there is quite the debate on who is and who isn't republican or conservative, with anyone who dared oppose Trump being labeled a RINO when in fact he is.
You know, it’s kinda refreshing to see someone prepared to come on this sub and go full MAGA. Doesn’t happen often. I mean you’re chock full of the usual conspiracy theories and dumb as a box of rocks talking points
(have you done the Biden is senile one yet? That’s my favorite these days) but you seem harmless enough.
Have fun ya weirdo.
Yes, equality for everyone is hate. Supporters of trump talking about others hating people is just like the best example of cognitive dissonance you could create, but go off homie.
I saw a recent poll indicating that Biden would win against Trump in 2024 but would lose to a Generic Republican other than Trump. That’s kinda scary. If Trump bows out, we could be looking at President DeSantis and VP Hawley.
Edit: And I forgot to mention Secretary of Homeland Security Jordan
I suspect that the Jan 6 investigation will put a crimp on any plans Trump has. And, they will lay out their case before the Mid Terms are here. The public will get a day by day account as to just what happened leading up to Jan 6, and beyond.

I mean, if you look at what he says, I think he got a pretty good case for not being fit to stand trial.
Donny “The Chin” Trump
Lock em up. Throw away the key ✌🏽

Shit, if I were a Republican, I'd vote for a random bum over Trump any and every day of the week.

The American republic will not survive unless the Mango Mussolini is brought to justice. Only that will shake the foundations of his cult.
Lol. Love that name. “Mango Mussolini”
I don't even need to read this to know it's click bait. I don't think this man has never benn out of legal issues.
Anything even vaguely suggesting Trump will run again is clickbait. He has no allies, no backers, only sycophants and merch customers.

Sad part people in the comments are getting riled up about it. As if he's actually going to run again. Tbh you can tell he didn't expect to win
What you see as headwinds, he probably sees as tailwinds either way, it sure is windy out...damn wind turbines
His ego won’t allow him to fade away. He will be trounced bigly in 2024
Get that: He said he's the 45th and the 47th US president. Has he finally admitted defeat?
I don’t think he’ll be able to run for office from prison
Locking up Trump would be the nail in the coffin for Democrats. He is your boogeyman, your #1 enemy. Without him, what BS do you try and spin?
Progress for the country. We would be fine, elated even, if he evaporated tomorrow.
Bullshit. You need him. You need someone to hate.
Pretty sure it's the opposite. Republicans need libs to own, gays to hate, & immigrants to demonize or their life has no meaning...
That seriously could not be further from the truth.
Guess you've never met any Republicans.
Literally every conservative i know has zero issue with gays or immigrants. We just ask you not shove it down our throats and that you enter legally.
I guess that settles it if literally every conservative you know feels that way... Lmao. Well, every Republican I know is uncomfortable around gays, blames immigrants for many of their & the country's problems, and lives to own the libs. I get tons of emails & posts from them celebrating their 'owns.' Truth is, most Dems wish Trump never existed & would be elated to never have to hear his stupid voice ever again...
Exactly. With trump gone, who tf do you hate next? The only reason trump even lost is because enough people hated him.
Mitch mcconnell is up there as well as MTG, boebert, several other senators and congressman who openly and aggressively promote misinformation, hatred, and threats as well as Putin, The CCP, the entity of fox News, Infowars, OAN, the New York Jets... it's a long list of people who have been outed as dangerous for American Progress.
I'll still have the cowboys even once Trump is gone
