Donald Trump Hush money trial

At least it’s people who can afford it, unlike the gullible preachers worshipping Trump’s latest “fundraiser”. Anyhow “grift” means a swindle. Hmmm which one of those is it… I just cannot tell…

Well tbh, the $60 bible sounds like a better deal than a $500,000 seat to see Biden & klan . Who even has that kind of money? Could only be corrupt money launderers, Bidenomics isn’t working for the average taxpayer citizen, only elite DNC billionaires.

Happy Easter Sunday everyone!

At least the Democrat fundraiser is oblique in its nature, people buying the Bible don’t know they are getting fleeced

You do realise that inflation etc and other financial factors are affecting a lot of other countries at the same time, so when you says Bidenomics isn’t working, is he responsible for the issues in all the other countries too? the truth is, he must be doing somethings right, unemployment is half what it was when he entered office and the US stock market has had record highs to name but two.

Im not going to look at the stock market yet but unemployment is about what it was when Trump was in charge before the pandemic. At best him being there didnt do anything when it came to unemployment. In general unemployment has been steadily declining for the past 14 years till the pandemic then once things opened up it has been steady. Not bad but not a huge feather in his cap considering he is bucking a good trend.

Civilian unemployment rate

Trying not to be cynical, given Trump’s complete mishandling of the COVID response, but I’m willing to bet long COVID after effects will be accounting for a proportion of the new long term signed off “unemployed” group. On the bright side for the figures, those people are also less likely to make it to pension age and require social security and Medicare when older…

The Rock, who endorsed Biden in 2020, will not be doing so again in 2024. He stops way short of saying he supports Trump but you can read between the lines a little bit.

How about endorse nobody? I mean, I’d hate to endorse someone who’s more than likely another minor toucher or sellout for the CCP. Plus, as a celebrity, you want everyone to watch your movies so why drive half of them away with politics?

Yeah, there’s already speculation that he’s just doing this to distance himself from Biden, like rats jumping off a sinking ship. Also heard rumors that he’s planning to launch his own political career in the near future and run as a fake republican. Hard to believe anyone in Hollywood actually cares and wants to fix America’s problems.

When Obama became President I didn’t care or pay attention to politics yet, but thought he seemed like a nice guy and his voice sounded just like The Rock. I was a wrestling fan and thought to myself how cool would that be if The Rock becomes U.S. President someday… now not so much.

That's good, that's a smart turn. It was stupid of him to decry early mail-in ballots when the democrats were pushing it everywhere in the last election. Why give them an advantage when you don't have to?

Dems legalized it, pretty much the only way forward now, is to beat them at their own game. There will still be fraud, but the idea is that this time there will be enough legitimate votes to Trump all the illegitimate votes. Kinda makes you wonder, what may be the left’s next stunt. They’re not going down without a fight to the death.

HE has said very specifically that if someone gives you a tool to use it...like when people were going on about him being rich and he was like "Yeah, you gave me tax cuts why wouldnt I take them?"

[TurtleManiac]

Why hasn’t Jon Stewart been indicted by Tish James, if he committed the same “crime” as Trump?

Jon overvalued his NYC property by 829%, but it’s not the same, that’s (D)ifferent.

The assessed value from a legal entity, is the value used to pay the property taxes against. Which seems to be what happened with Stewart. If someone wants to pay eight times its value for the property… that’s their choice. They didn’t have to buy it. Trump inflated the value of his properties to get leverage against loans he wanted to take out. Seemingly the real estate brokers went along with it. Otherwise he may not have been able to get them. Somewhat different scenarios here. Borrowing money by making it seem he was worth more.

It's the first time in 20 years that Republicans have a realistic chance of winning the popular vote. Last time (and 2016 too), polls were looking bleak and Trump was planning to go for the voter fraud angle from the start so of course he was condemning early voting. This time he sees the chance of a clean win and tries to embrace it. That's why he's flip-flopping with other topics as well.

In good margins if it was someone other than Trump himself. As it stands, he may have a good shot at winning my a lot of democrat voters just... well, not voting. I'm encountering more and more staunch democrat-leaning people who are saying that's their plan. "I can't possibly bring myself to support Trump... but I can't vote for Biden this time" and so on.

This would all be a lot more hopeful if it was someone other than Trump on the republican ticket. Even if he wins and that will be a win for... well, let's start with reality... at best you can look forward to another 4 years of the media (as in news AND entertainment) making everything another horror story about their own derangements.

Its just the second Trump vs the Least Electable situation. If the democrats had ran anyone other then Hillary way back when then Trump would never have been president the first time.

I remember before that thinking that politics had come to a state of voting against rather then voting for and that election really cemented that idea for me.

Like I said, Trump won cause 'Not Hillary', Biden won cause 'Not Trump'.
