    They should be worried. With the political show trials going on, if this all doesn’t work and he does get back in the White House, the gloves are gonna be off. Yeah I know this’ll piss people off, but they’ve literally decided to weaponize the judiciary against him for being president. Guy does think his term did throw a wrench in TPTB’s plans and they don’t want that happening again. The states these trials are happening in and the timing is not fucking subtle. If this was not politically motivated, these trials would have been happening in 2012 or 2005.

      Trump’s criminal charges involve his handling of documents after his Presidency, his attempt to illegally hold on to power at the end of his Presidency, and his financial records from when he ran for President in 2016. Do you think Antifa has a time machine?

        We actually do have a time machine, but only one. Jay, if you’re reading this, it’s my turn to use it last week.

        Could I have made it more obvious what I was talking about than by stating those years and using the words “trials” instead of “charges”? like did you really think I was talking about those? JFC.

          The article is talking specifically about the Jan 6 stuff, which he is facing a criminal trial over. In fact, when Mitch McConnell voted to acquit Trump in the impeachment for that, he directly stated that it was because it was more suitable for a criminal trial.

            That doesn’t mean I have to be limited to talking about that, and I made it REALLY obvious i wasn’t.

              Unfortunately It not obvious to me what trials you are talking about. I don’t follow all the things that happen so forgive me. What trials are you talking about. I would be interesting in looking into them.

                  Nah. Trump will lose and we won’t have to listen to your assinine, borderline, manipulated rhetoric. This is the issue though, isn’t it? Many of us see the evils, both committed and potential, surrounding Trump, and in his own words. We see those because we recognize the patterns. You see potential change because there are patterns you claim to hate, and Trump acts as the catalyst towards a change you perceive to be positive, or more likely negative towards those you disagree with.

                  This is the reason we can’t agree. People like me want positive change so that others can have a better life. People like you want change so others can have a worse life, if those others hold opinions and positions you don’t agree with.

                  You won’t agree with this or even really challenge it. Your first impulse will be to insult and throw out all my words as useless, while doubling down. That’s how this works. Which is a shame.

          You made no indication what you were talking about and you’re “surprised” that people think you were talking about the article.

          Ladies and gentlemen, the intelligence and honesty of trump supporters on full display right here.

              The problem is not my ability to read, but your inability to think outside of yourself. You’ll continue to pretend it was clear because, again, you are so wrapped up in your own head that you can’t even step outside of yourself and see a different perspective.

              Which, again, is probably why you aren’t smart enough to avoid defending trump here.

          Whole thread read. Answer the question or surrender that specific point. Refusing to argue entirely is a concession of the whole. You don’t have to concede your whole argument. Just one point. Have responsibility for your words

          The reverend has aaked a valid question regarding your position and you have run away and hid, in typical conservative fashion.

          Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word. Honesty is simply not a conservative trait, so I think it was nice of the reverend to even include you in the adult conversation. You can’t say we didn’t try.

      They haven’t weaponized shit. He’s still being handled with kid gloves. TPTB are still protecting him for the most part. The reason he wasn’t investigated in the past is because TPTB are mostly rich assholes like him that protect each other from being treated like us peasants.

      Most of the opposition still isn’t willing to hold Trump to the same standards as most people because even they’re rich, corrupt, conservative shitheads. The prosecutions are politically motivated to be weaker than they should be for his crimes because all prosecutions against elites are weak. Most of them would spend life in prison if justice was blind.

      The TIMING of these Trials that Trump keeps DELAYING and DELAYING is EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS! I think for my SELF!
