Trump Is Fucked

I can't watch pro Trump evangelicals talk about him because it is too depressing.

Apart from everything else and that's a big everything, he was found by a US jury to have committed a sexual assault on a woman. There are so many crimes and misdemeanors at this point they all seem to cancel themselves out in minds of many voters.

Meh. Evangelical Christianity is just a business. You got gullible useful idiots on both sides. Keep em arguing and the rich keep owning more and more. Nothing changes whether Trump wins or not. Everyone has grabbed some ass.

Other side says so you are saying that the president can legally order a SEAL team to kill political rivals unless 2/3rds of the senate vote impeachment?

And what if Biden (say) decides to kill a proportion of the "Freedom Cuntcaus"? So, the president can now kill anyone that would vote to impeach him?

Trump’s latest about-face: He now says 2020 election was ‘long over’

In the months after the 2020 election, Donald Trump leaned on his campaign to launch ad blitzes and legal
challenges to the results, insisting to his supporters that the election was “ a long way from over.” He even
told state and federal courts he was suing in his capacity as a political candidate.

Now, in a bid to derail criminal charges, he’s saying the opposite. At least six times in the past two weeks,
Trump has declared that the election was “ long over” by the time he began pushing state officials and
then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn his defeat.

It’s a new piece of rhetoric that’s meant to bolster Trump’s assertion of “presidential immunity” from his
criminal charges for interfering with the transfer of power. He wasn’t a candidate anymore, Trump’s new theory goes, so he must have been doing his job as president to ensure elections are fair.

But there’s a problem: It flies in the face of the legal arguments Trump made three years ago, during his
frenetic push to subvert the election results. Even after the votes had been counted and certified, Trump
filed lawsuits contesting the results — and he claimed he was doing so not as the outgoing president,
but as a candidate.

It’s even what he told the Supreme Court in a Dec. 9, 2020 brief filed by his lawyer at the time, John
Eastman. “He seeks to intervene in this matter in his personal capacity as a candidate for reelection,”
Eastman wrote.

Trump Ordered to Pay The New York Times Hundreds of Thousands Over ‘Frivolous’ Lawsuit
A New York state judge ordered former President Donald Trump to pay The New York Times a six-figure
legal fee over a now-dismissed lawsuit he brought against the paper.

Trump faces another loss at court with a $392,638.69 fine to pay for the journalists’ legal fees, according
to Time’s reporter Susanne Craig, who slammed the lawsuit in which she was included as “frivolous.”

Trump loses immunity bid as appeals court rules he’s just a “citizen”

A federal appeals court on Tuesday unanimously rejected former President Donald Trump’s claim that he is
immune from prosecution in the D.C. election subversion case.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals for the District of Columbia in a 57-page opinion
found that there is no basis for Trump to assert blanket immunity for all acts committed as president.

"We cannot accept that the office of the Presidency places its former occupants above the law for all time
thereafter,” the judges wrote.

“For the purpose of this criminal case, former President Trump has become citizen Trump, with all of the
defenses of any other criminal defendant. But any executive immunity that may have protected him while
he served as President no longer protects him against this prosecution," the opinion said.

Seriously, you like this guy that didn't know the concept of "supply chains" he had never "heard of" and thinks it's supply change. Pretty sure problems of "supply chains" are beyond any president's capacity and he is no less culpable than Sleepy Joe is in all that...

I mean, 7 years of Wharton College down the drain....

I am not following all that closely, but in that most recent trial, which was the defamation one, The "judge" prohibited the most basic facts from being brought into the court as evidence.

You don't actually believe that trial to be anything more than a gross example of justice gone wrong and entirely politically motivated. They literally changed the statute of limitations JUST so this case could be brought forward. It is certain to be appealed and I can't see it standing. Maybe you are referring to another trial.

I think you got the wrong end of the stick there as Trump intended.

In our systems of justice once you have been found guilty by a jury as Trump has you are not allowed to say that your accuser is a liar because that is the settled opinion of the court. This was not an appeal it was a defamation case because Trump had continued to say that the victim was lying.

He wasn't allowed to present a defense of the original crime because he had already done that and been found guilty by a jury in the first case. All he was able to defend was whether he had been defaming her which given all the video evidence and that he was muttering it throughout the court case didn't give him much of a chance of winning that.

Meanwhile in one of his other cases he is boasting about how wealthy he is so naturally her lawyers said that this guy is super rich he is continuing to deny the jury finding in the first case so you need to hit him with such a big judgement he shuts up.

For you or me that might mean $20k but for Trump they(the jury in the second case) decided it would take $83 million.
