Re: Trump’s Troubles
The path to conviction has been a long one and this verdict of felony is long overdue. I hope he does the honourable thing and withdraws as Republican Presidential candidate.
Also just heard Trump may be unable to vote for himself in elections as felons don't get the right to vote. :D |

Incredible that he's a convicted felon and yet is still the Republican candidate. You can take citizens' rights too far.
What if he wins and goes to jail? Would he last even a minute inside prison? Hello, America, some of you are voting for a convicted criminal. Wake the hell UP! |
Re: Trump’s Troubles
Just to muddy the waters even more, even if jailed he’s still entitled to secret service protection for life so that would need to be taken in to consideration.
As much of a shame as this is, given his age and previous “good character”, actual jail time is looking more and more unlikely. Many political commentators are saying at worst he’s looking at community service. |

Yet you could argue that someone convicted in early life, reforms and shows that reform could do a good job in public office. Would depend on what they were convicted for and how it would affect their ability to govern and/or be unduly influenced. Getting security clearance in the UK is often more about disclosing things so you can't be blackmailed for something secret rather being shown to have done those things. |

Irony that in 2016 when Trump got all his disciples chanting about Crooked Hillary, it was Crooked Donald all along. Even as he was pointing the finger at her, he was doing the things that have made him the convict he is today.

Re: Trump’s Troubles
The funny thing about this is that he didn't do anything that illegal here. He just went about something that could have easily be done legally in the most illegal way he possibly could just because he is Trump.
It isn't illegal to pay off a porn star. It's not even illegal to do with campaign funds. It is illegal not to disclose that. https://x.com/stanfordNYC/status/1796325261027536971 Quote:

Trump won’t be the first, or last, American politician of questionable conduct paying off women (or men) right, left and centre. It’s quite right that he, and his supporters, question why he is seemingly held to a higher standard for overtly political reasons. This trial wouldn’t see the light of day if it wasn’t led by Democrats in an election year attacking the Republicans presumptive nominee. |

Sure - it’s whataboutery. In a two horse race election “what about the other guy/team?” will naturally be pursued. The Democrats are absolutely terrified Trump makes it onto the ballot, and paying off a porn star (with his own money?) for having sex with her is unlikely to move the dial significantly. |

No skin off my nose if the Don goes to jail, I’m only offering my opinion on how I see this part of the “stop him at all costs because Biden is useless” escapade playing out. Holding Trump to higher standards because he’s Donald Trump will only end badly at the ballot box. I suspect they know this, and we will see ever increasingly desperate measures to keep him off. |

Anyhoo, that could be a dilemma, as the NG can be called up by the State Governor or the President, as I’m pretty sure Governors like Sanders or Noem would probably try to use the NG in support of Y’all Qaeda… |
Re: Trump’s Troubles

In practice though it is more likely to be the national guard that’s called up. A state governor can do that, or the president can go over a governor’s head and ‘federalise’ the guard and deploy them directly. |

So the jury rejected her claim that she was raped. But the Judge has said that their rejection of this charge, is actually them agreeing to that charge? OK. |
Re: Trump’s Troubles
Quote:
1. This was a civil case 2. There is a legal distinction in NY State between rape and sexual assault, the distinction being whether the assailant assaulted his victim with his penis (rape) or his finger (assault). As the victim could not swear which part of his body Trump used to violate her sexually, the jury was forced to opt for the legal verdict ‘sexual assault’. 3. The judge nevertheless confirmed post-trial that in common discussion it is absolutely appropriate to say Trump raped his victim, because the distinction in this case is a very narrow legal one with little relevance outside the courtroom. So, remind me - as you have already challenged this, and have already had it explained to you - why you’re still coming out to bat for Trump on the basis that it’s unclear whether he sexually violated his victim with his finger or his penis? |

Clear to me, the Corrupt Judge from a sham trial on trumped up charges, by a weaponised Democrat Justice system, in a corrupted Democrat run New York. Scoff all you want, his poll numbers are up in Key States against the sleepy idiot & the case could still be overturned on appeal, or even a mistrial declared, given one of the Juror’s family members revealed in a FB post that Trump will be convicted but let’s also remind you & others, George Floyd was a convicted felon & half of America worshipped him, he didn’t deserve to die, but let me put things in to perspective here, being a convicted felon can’t be all that bad, if the BLM crowd burned down city businesses for him. ---------- Post added at 17:35 ---------- Previous post was at 17:30 ---------- Quote:

Re: Trump’s Troubles
Sorry Mick but nothing corrupt about the recent court case or any up and coming ones.
It was a jury made up of members of the public that the prosecution and defence both had a hand in picking. They found him guilty on all counts. The justice system is there for all it's not been weaponised at all. As for the Floyd case, his personal issues had no relevance to the fact that he was murdered by the police. No one deserves that. |

The fact that Trump's businesses are registered in New York is of no relevance - the courts have been weaponised and the corrupt judges and jury will pay for it once Trump wins for the third time as President. :D |

The court case was corrupt nothing you state, tells me otherwise and it could still be overturned on appeal, which it should because how Alvin Bragg, NY DA Trumped up the charges, that had already fallen outside the statute of limitations and the justice system has been weaponised by the corrupted Dems. |
Re: Trump’s Troubles
I don't need to open my eyes, I saw what you posted. The point I was trying to get across was that whether he had commited previous crimes or whether he was just an innocent black guy stopped by police bears no relevance on the outcome. He was murdered as the Police were so heavy handed, similar to what happened here in Scotalnd.
I'd say there is very little chance that all 34 charges would be overturned. Chances are some will still stand and while he will never likely do time over those crimes he committed, he still committed fraud and numerous other acts of criminality. The guy seriously thinks he is above the law and that it doesn't apply to him. I worry for America should he win in November. But at the same time Biden is clearly not be running the country either. |
Re: Trump’s Troubles
I'm curious why anyone in the UK cares about Trump at all, he's cleary a bit of a nut job, and America's problem, not ours.
We have an election over here we should all be more concerned about. |

When you signal that you’re not serious about defending territory, dictators take note and are emboldened to act. That’s exactly why Argentina thought it could get away with it in 1982. It’s why Hitler kept getting away with it until 1939. Trump is not a statesman, he’s a businessman - a bad one - with a mobster mentality. He admires strongmen and fancies himself as one, so he sucks up to them and doesn’t care who he treads on in order to get what he thinks he deserves. He is also now in serious cognitive decline (the shark speech from Las Vegas is just one recent example of how much difficulty he now has holding a train of thought ). So not only does he neither understand, nor care, how good international statecraft is done, he is mentally erratic and increasingly unpredictable. |
Re: Trump’s Troubles

If the justice system has been so corrupted by one side how do you try someone from the other side for crimes he has committed (allowing that not all charges are also politically motivated)? Do they just get away with things because they can't get a fair trial? This works both ways, if the system is biased towards the accused so there is an unfair chance of acquittal do the case also get dismissed or the crimes ignored? We rightly speak out against unjust regimes or systems that use the legal system to persecute or where wealth/position can buy or influence an outcome but is there the same degree of corruption in this case? # How would the system in the US need to change to prevent "weaponising" the judicial mechanisms? If the judicial system is politically influenced how can you prosecute (or defend) any political figure? |

Re: Trump’s Troubles
It’s all white noise, Mick. Seriously. And I wouldn’t be too sure about predicting what’s in Trump’s mind, not with ample video evidence that even Trump doesn’t know what’s in Trump’s mind any longer. The shark clip is just one example out of many recently.
I truly have no idea what your stake is here. I can understand tribal politics within the USA to a certain extent - though I note that no fewer than *40* of the *Republicans* Trump had in his administration during his tenure have now publicly refused to endorse him, including Mike Pence - but why any observer an ocean away is so invested in the campaigns of this criminal, rapey fraudster is a mystery to me. |
