The (many) indictments of Donald Trump

[VolStrom]

Isn't that precisely how inflation works?

And did you see the part where food was the ost expensive it had been in 10 years?

How can you possibly compare the economy during a pandemic to the economy now? Biden took a wrecking ball to every thing Trump did good and screwed this country, both domestically and internationally. The guy will go down as the worst president in the history of this country.

Believe her!

We actually covered this earlier. Yuge misunderstanding. We only have to believe that she believes she was a victim of sexual assault. Kinda like we only have to believe that women believe they are women. Because of course they aren’t actually women because what is a woman?

Cmon @SpaceCoastVol keep up.

Or maybe they felt it was better suited for the NYC district.

Aren't campaign finance laws are prosecuted in the district where the person violated the laws live?

Or are CFL under the federal system?

I thought so also.

You whine about Pence and how his family values were ridiculed even though he lived according to those values as if it was some republican cross to bear. I pointed out that it happened to Carter and your only response was to make disparaging comments about Carter. It may be time for your afternoon coffee.

I simply pointed out I was too young to remember his campaign or anyone ridiculing him over his family values. I do remember the adults complaining about him and being happy when he was gone. How is that disparaging?

I think the accusation is that this was done for political reasons and therefore the payment should have been made with campaign funds and/or disclosed as a campaign contribution.

That is my understanding also. Crazy isn't it?

Carter is 10 times the person Biden is. Biden is one of the most despicable POS politician's I've ever come across in American politics.

Not just Joe Biden, but his entire Marxist administration.

Is a candidate compelled to use campaign funds for their political expenses? A wealthy candidate cannot simply fund their own expenses rather than run it through the campaign?

Ron DeSantis' nightmare scenario: How the Florida governor could become the man who signs Donald Trump's arrest warrant if former president refuses to go to New York voluntarily to face charges

If a New York grand jury indicts Donald Trump in connection with hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, it could deliver another twist to the bitter rivalry between the former president and his likely rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

For if Trump refuses to travel from his Mar-a-Lago home to surrender voluntarily to police in Manhattan, it would fall to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to sign a local arrest warrant.

The situation may be hypothetical but it is one of the potential scenarios that could play out if the nation enters the uncharted territory of a former president — and a current presidential candidate — being indicted.

The Canadian system yes.

I assume that there is at least a plausible argument that, in New York, they are. Otherwise, the DA shouldn’t be able to indict him.

My father explained to me that Jimmy Carter was a good man. He created more Republicans than anyone else in his lifetime.

Ok so what. I don’t hear the media reporting Biden family taking money from China. But we have to listen to the left squirm about a misdemeanor because they have to stop Trump.
It’s not gonna stop Trump, it’s only making him stronger as a candidate because people know it’s a charade and makes the left look like fools.

It's not going to stop him from getting the 2024 Republican Party nomination, but he will lose the general election for the same reason that he did in 2020:

With the 2022 mid-term election results from Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and Nevada from his endorsed candidates serving as further evidence (in addition to his own losses in those states from 2020), it is clear that independent voters have turned away from him after giving him the benefit of the doubt in 2016. That has everything to do with his conduct.

Your mistake is in believing that Trump lost in 2020 only due to fraud, and so you Republican idiots will nominate him again ... and then wonder why he lost again.

Carter is 10 times the person Biden is. Biden is one of the most despicable POS politician's I've ever come across in American politics.

But yet Biden is still twice the person Trump is. Progress.....movement in the correct direction.

I think my mom voted for Carter in 76, my dad used to tease her about it even into the 80s.

Not in NY. NY has a special Trump clause for all things related to him and the Trump tower is probably being auctioned off as we speak for late tax payments from when his dad was alive and before it was built.

I'll be honest, this man didn't have to subject his life to this kind of hell, and I think he did it for his love of the country. He was always revered when he was a democrat, but once he ran as a republican the knives came out, and they have attacked him ever since.

 

[luthervol]

If you believe the president can control/influence consumer prices, and DJT is responsible, and if Biden campaigned to improve the situation, why hasn't he and is he at fault for not improving?

I believe the president has almost no control.
But if one believes the economy is a reflection of a president, then they would have to believe that Trump pretty much destroyed a an inherited great economy and Biden is struggling to improve on the failing economy that he inherited from Trump.

Makes sense.
Going through campaign is public record, I assume.

I wouldn't crap on Bidens grave. I have learned to really hate Biden. He is a disgusting POS and lies every time he speaks.

He didn't have to pay hush money to a stripper but he did. The lack of accountability that you guys direct towards Trump for this situation is disgusting. You literally do talk about him as though he is an innocent victim. It's tribal bull $hit.

The economy now is a post pandemic economy.
It's just simply wrong to state that Trump was great for the economy and Biden has been bad for the economy.
Only the simplest of minds would fall for that.

This is what I found:
Daniels payment was indicative of falsifying business records, a misdemeanor that he says could potentially be charged as a felony under New York law if intended to conceal a second crime: in this case, an alleged illegal campaign contribution.

If dishonesty bothered you this much, you couldn't support Trump. It's not lying that bothers you ... it's who is telling the lies and whether or not they serve your agenda.
