Trump indicted in Stormy Daniels hush-money case

[Gunny]

Trump and his followers should be delighted. What's the max penalty for this again? Imagine, a politician in NY paying hush money being treated as a crime :laugh:

Need to indict Bragg for being beyond stupid.

Sets precedent.

[hjmick]

Well that's something.

I thought it would be 60/40 they wouldn't do it. I imagine his defense team will look the John Edwards 2011 trial for tips...

I don't need to see Trump behind bars, don't even want to see it. I think it would be a mistake and would only result in these two poor excuses for political parties and leadership continuing their petty, bullshit tit-for-tat games. Just ding him enough to make him undesirable as a candidate... that he's not already just boggles the mind...

This is how we get stuck with him again. Damn.

Have to say I'm right there with that (bolded). That's about all it has come down to. Been trying to keep the goings-on in Congress in the periphery along with important issues like this and what a damned joke the whole lot of them are. Living off our tax dollars, paying themselves more than most, so we can watch the Jerry Springer Show.


This is how we get stuck with him again. Damn.Or Biden. Either way, we're screwed. This is definitely getting his emotion-based followers into a tizzy.

He's very desirable as a candidate.

he's the leader of true american populism, in opposition to the ESG fascistic globalist go-along republtards and demoshills.

[AHZ]

This is how we get stuck with him again. Damn.


Perhaps you should consider that his anti-globalist maga ideas are better than the globalization idiocy we've been seeing.

stop being a traitor to humanity and goodness.

NO.

electing anti-globalist candidates is the path to renewal, trump or not.

the future is very bright.

you're just an old person who wants the status quo internationalist fascism to keep your portfolio of lies inflated.

where are you on the bailout, by the way?

This is why you're both not particularly effective as human beings. Neither of you know what a paragraph is nor how to create effective arguments.

The shit show is ongoing.

Judge puts a gag order on Trump, all of them really, and what does Trump do? Goes and talks smack about the judge and trial overall. :rolleyes::laugh:

Donald Trump Calls on Republicans to Defund the DOJ and FBI

Republicans in Congress should defund the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), at least temporarily, former President Donald Trump said on Wednesday morning, the day after his arraignment in New York City.

“REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS SHOULD DEFUND THE DOJ AND FBI UNTIL THEY COME TO THEIR SENSES,” Trump wrote in an all caps post on Truth Social, concluding Democrats have weaponized law enforcement and are attempting to interfere in the upcoming election.

He continued: “THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TOTALLY WEAPONIZED LAW ENFORCEMENT IN OUR COUNTRY AND ARE VICIOUSLY USING THIS ABUSE OF POWER TO INTERFERE WITH OUR ALREADY UNDER SIEGE ELECTIONS!”

I agree that both the FBI and DOJ have serious issues - but not because Trump needs help in New York. I do think they have tried to weaponize the system though.


Video No-Show: NY Judge Bans Live Courtroom Coverage of Trump Arraignment

Just a handful of press photographers will be allowed to take pictures in the New York courtroom where former President Donald Trump will be arraigned on Tuesday.

Video news cameras have been specifically banned from providing live coverage of proceedings.

Acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan rejected pleas for extended coverage by multiple media outlets — including the New York Times, CNN, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post — ahead of Trump’s first court appearance after they declared “this indictment involves a matter of monumental significance.”

New York Judge Juan Merchan denied the request late Monday night. He did note the historical significance of the proceeding in his ruling:


That this indictment involves a matter of monumental significance cannot possibly be disputed. Never in the history of the United States has a sitting or past President been indicted on criminal charges. Mr. Trump’s arraignment has generated unparalleled public interest and media attention.

The populace rightly hungers for the most accurate and current information available. To suggest otherwise would be disingenuous.

I disagree with this. This is a HUGE matter of public interest, especially considering this is an upcoming presidential hopeful. Of both interest about Trump himself, and that of any antics that may be played.

[Kathianne]

It's beyond 'trying to weaponize to DOJ/FBI/IRS.' At this point, it's beyond attempt to weaponize, it's in full fledge application. I haven't changed my opinion on Trump, but current antics are right up with Pelosi State of Union Rip Fest. Trump could win, the persecution is undeniable.

[SassyLady]

It was my understanding no gag order.

The exposure of politically partisan corruption at the federal level is breathtaking. Just as breathtaking is the people that are supposed to be doing something about it -- Republican't's -- aren't. They're too busy choosing sides in Trump's BS.

[Gunny]

Bet they carry full body armor and M-4s in the trunk too :rolleyes:
