Crime's not going up since Biden got into office; crime rates are down, despite Trump claiming crime is up. Not surprised, since the guy's a pathological liar. The Biden administration negotiated a border deal that would've cleared out millions of undocumented immigrants, but Trump shut it down.

Honestly, if Trump goes to jail, we could probably fix a lot more problems. For all your claims of "trump derangement" it seems Republicans are deranged by Trump's agenda to make himself supreme ruler.

But that’s simply more situational ethics
Now you’re saying that because many people do something that that makes it okay
But not everyone eats cows
I certainly don’t
Most of the world doesn’t
And about heating and cooling our little lives?
If we don’t rapidly switch over to renewable energy then the planet is doomed
There’s not much heating or air conditioning homes on a desert planet
What is more important- us being rich and comfortable or our grandchildren being able to survive a desert climate?

I don’t go in for situational ethics
Ethics are absolute
Something is either right or wrong

What you are saying is this:
Because china is doing the wrong thing
Then we can too

Actually I’m right there with you on both of those two issues
Especially about the Black Lives Matter thing
Police are the only thing that’s keeping the country from spiraling into utter chaos and violence
The police deserve out total respect and also much much higher salaries

But this doesn’t stop me from voting blue
My main issue is protecting the environment and you know that Voldemort sure ain’t going to do that

You’re quite right mortman
Yeah I know that quotes were not necessary but I just thought it might make it funnier
I can’t take these political arguments too seriously anymore. I tend to joke around in the face of conflict

By the way I’m keeping my fingers crossed he goes to jail but I’m not going to hold my breath.

Why should a fair and unbiased legal system let a criminal politician commit dozens of crimes without consequences? Michael Cohen went to prison for his part in the same crimes. It's Trump's turn to face consequences.

That was not a sham trial. The judge ran everything "by the book" and did everything he could to give Trump's team a fair shot. It's not their fault Trump hired such incompetent lawyers and then ignored their advice. Trump did this to himself, and he's got no good way to appeal. All he can do is stall for time.

I see Trumps illegal and immoral activities have finally started to catch up with him. He branded someone a criminal for having one email out of place, yet he had most of the top secret documents just lying around his mansion, and apparently thought that was acceptable.

Sooner he's jailed, the better!

Neat. Another $30 million and Trump will have enough to pay the interest on his penalty for business fraud. That seems to be where the money is going.

You don't realize that Trump's legal problems aren't the Democrats' fault. Trump committed those crimes and independent prosecutors conducted their own investigations from criminal complaints and culminating with grand juries and indictments. The NYC records case started before Biden was even in office. Now we see some more how DJT is just a whiney diaper baby.

The judge is clearly not biased. He's been practically bending over backwards to keep Trump out of jail, despite TEN violations of the gag order. Any other defendant than Trump would've been jailed for contempt of court at that point.

Even if Judge Merchan sentences Trump to serious jail time in July--like several months in prison, there might be an argument that he's liberal, but more likely it's just be the horrible way Trump behaved in court, taunting the judge and witnesses. I'm hoping Trump gets some jail time, but not counting on it.

OK, so the actual line is: "In the end, they're not coming after me. They're coming after you — and I'm just standing in their way"

Same implication that, for unstated reasons, the government is coming for us, like they are for Trump--who's obviously committed dozens of crimes. But the government will charge us for crimes we didn't do. Eric Trump even said the other day that they'll win because they're white.

I agree that Trump was an ineffective president and his worst threats never came true, but he still managed to commit tons of crimes, especially around the time he was supposed to turn over power peacefully. While he never managed to change the laws that would allow him to jail political opponents without evidence or silence the media coverage he disliked, he also had people in his cabinet who put the country and our Constitution over Trump. Trump's made it clear he won't do that again. He's spent the last few years finding people who will be loyal to Trump above all else, and he'll make sure to jail his perceived foes during his term as dictator, and "day one" will not be limited to just one day.

Throughout all Trump's legal issues, he's been posting on social media that "If this can happen to me, it can happen to you." What he means is "If this happens to me, it'll happen to everyone who's responsible for this happening to me." He's never admitted to breaking laws that we can all see he's broken. He says he's allowed by law to commit the crimes he's committed. And despite literal piles of evidence, he demands that he cannot be criminally liable for anything he's done since becoming president, like he's a king or a pope. The guy's a nutcase, and should be nowhere near public office.

It's important to have conservatives participating in our government, but it's against all our interests to elect criminals like Trump to office. With his nearly 100 felony charges and history of financial difficulties, he's not even fit for a security clearance, and yet half the country wants to put him in office where he can give or sell more nuclear secrets to Russia, and then pardon himself out of any accountability. That's nuts!

Past history from 2016 till 2020 did Trump do any of the far fetched fantasy’s that democrats accuse him of wanting to do. Hell No and he’s not going to be the Dictator or the executioner or the Putin co-hort . you unrealistic people conjure up. What’s nuts is re-electing Biden and his america last policies. And while the only defense for democrats to win is call Trump every name in the book and hope some of it sticks. Nothing Trump has said is as decisive or racist as Joe Describing Obama as being the first black running for president that is articulate decent and clean .. or if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black..can anybody watch him speak or walk or mingle with voters and feel confident with another 4 years.. not many…

unsettling thought for me is Canada is also going downhill , just like US and a hundred other countries .. Sure we always follow the US , but do we have to follow the downhill spiral ... When are Canadians gonna wake up ??

No. Trump speeches are rambling and nonsensical. Of course he'll promise that everything will turn around when he's in office, just like he promised a better health care plan or a "incredible" infrastructure bill "in two weeks." He gripes that we're a nation in decline (ignoring the soaring stock market and super-low unemployment) and can't offer any hints on what he'd do to solve problems. The guy's just a big fat liar.

But sure, Biden's the divisive one, only helping his voters, because Republicans never get the price caps on insulin or reduced junk fees from banks and airlines. Maybe Republicans don't bank or fly to travel. Do they exclusively drive big pickup trucks with Trump flags, needing extra low gas prices to afford all that AND the truck nutz?
