    Unfortunate about the suicide. We do though need a lot more of this declining hush money to expose bad behaviours. Makes no difference to me who these people who do bad things support politi

Thing is ma and pa maga aren’t looking for him to do these things, he’s emulating how they think, giving their lunacy mainstream legitimacy, He’s doing exactly what they want.

Trump has been a Democrat and Republican he quickly figured who he could hoodwink and take every penny they have.

Trump posts on Truth Social: "Seems so SURREAL"

From CNN's Brian Rokus

Former President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social as he was en route to the Manhattan district attorney's office and courthouse ahead of his arraignment, writing:

“Heading to Lower Manhattan, the Courthouse. Seems so SURREAL — WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America. MAGA!”

So much respect for an ex POTUS

? Not everything is a slight on the guy. Donald is and always will be a ****** bag. But this was likely a high security, well rehearsed movement from one area to another.

This entire thing has been made into a circus by the media and its weird. "They didn't hold the door! No one likes him!" 

Oooor it wasn't his job to hold the door, but to get him from place A to place B.

whole thing has been horrifying from the day Trump announced he was running, down to today.

and it will not end when he is gone.

The Republican party really is a gang of violent, ignorant thugs.

 

Yup and on full display. And if anyone thinks otherwise all we have to do is ‘roll tape’.

    Even though Canadians, Europeans, British, get coverage of America in huge amounts, starting to think it is hard for us to really grasp the extent to which America is an extreme outlier.

    i.e. their entire system of selection of judges, is just plain crazy. 

    In Canada, this (wisconsin) kind of stuff, just does not happen. Or their Supreme Court fiasco, with a man credibly accused of sexual assault, being seated.

    it is unfathomable for people from normal countries.

    The guy who called Trump a kook was on tv last night being emotional telling the viewers to pray for a give money to Trump. 

    Maybe years down the road we will find out what Trump had on LG to make him the greasy slimy weak person he is now. Or maybe years down the road some people of influence will come out of their cult like trance and spill all in how they got sucked in and stayed there or a bit of blackmail and manipulation has caused these people’s insanity.

    and others.

     you probably  remember that Trump's boss, Putin , got access to Republican server at the same time as the Democratic party server.

    National Security Officials Testify That Trump Tried To Seize Voting Machines


    In bombshell testimony to the special counsel grand jury, Trump administration national security officials testified that they had to tell Trump they didn’t have the authority to seize voting machines after the 2020 election.

    CNN reported:

    Chad Wolf, the former acting Homeland Security secretary, and his former deputy Ken Cuccinelli were asked about discussions inside the administration around DHS seizing voting machines when they appeared before the grand jury earlier this year, according to three people familiar with the proceedings. Cuccinelli testified that he “made clear at all times” that DHS did not have the authority to take such a step, one of the sources said.

    Trump’s former national security adviser Robert O’Brien, in a closed-door interview with federal prosecutors earlier this year, also recounted conversations about seizing voting machines after the 2020 election, including during a heated Oval Office meeting that Trump participated in, according to a source familiar with the matter.

    The fact that those conversations happened in the Oval Office suggests that Trump was trying to get the federal government to seize the voting machines in swing states so that he could claim that there had been fraud and stay in power.

    I’m sure Merrick Garland and crew are all over this said no one ever.
