Corrupt in what way? What law did she break? The common thread I see is that Trump supporters have no problem with the "Jared and Ivanka Big Grift Sho...
How is it relevant? Is everyone associated with the prosecution of a case against Donald Trump supposed to refrain from any sexual relationships until...
Something I read on Reddit by the poster gravygrowinggreen, which I think is worth repeating here: "It is almost like according to the legal scholars ...
According to 28 U.S. Code § 533 – "The Attorney General may appoint officials— (1) to detect and prosecute crimes against the United States" so I thin...
When you commit crimes and act recklessly, you suffer the consequences -- you bring it all on yourself. Blaming the prosecutors or investigators or th...
I gave you four examples of how Trump brought his legal troubles upon himself and how he could have avoided them, and you didn't refute any of them. I...
True, but he knew there were choppy waters ahead for him legally. Some of that stuff had been swirling around for years... Paying hush money to Stormy...
I'm trying to imagine what it will be like if Trump is a convicted felon and wins the election. What will that even be like? What if he has a prison s...
There are intelligent people who support Trump, but in their cases it must be a political calculation rather than being true believers of the nonsense...
That's true, but it doesn't explain what you said earlier about it being un-American to admit you lost. Why is that un-American, as opposed to un-Cana...
How so? What is particularly 'American' about never admitting you lost? Think about the absurdities it would lead to. No political candidate would eve...
You're confusing two very different things. No one is disputing that it is an admirable quality to refuse to give up or remain steadfast in the face o...
That doesn't really answer my question. His track record for winning elections is not good. He's running against an incumbent, which is traditionally ...
Why do any Trump supporters think Trump can win in 2024? He's only won a single election, and that was in 2016. And in that election he won on a techn...
I would say it was hilarious the way that conservatives have so desperately tried to re-write the narrative of January 6th, 2021, if it weren't so dan...
Do you think Trump was encouraging them to march up to the Capitol to cheer on the Republican Congressmen from the street? Outside on the steps of the...
That's the way Trump works. He urges you, the Trump supporter, to do his dirty work for him. If it turns out well, he reaps the benefits. If not, then...
There definitely seems to be a degeneration in our culture. De-evolution is real, as the band DEVO would say. The American public glorifies crudity an...
If you remove Trump from the equation there would be no attack on the Capitol that day, and no violence. Many Trump supporters who participated in the...
The acquittal by the Senate in the second impeachment trial was wrong. In Mitch McConnell's own words he identified Trump as the cause of the January ...
In regard to the Senate's acquittal of Trump in the Second Impeachment Trial, this is what I got from Wikipedia: Mitch McConnell, who voted for acquit...
My Trump-related thought for the day is that I've been seeing chatter by Trump supporters online that they are outraged by him being taken off the bal...
I think it is possible to self-deceive and to gradually change one's views according to what wants to be true. The world is full of that. But, there a...
Yes, that's a good point. Being loyal to the truth may indeed be too lofty of a principle. Jordan Peterson very wisely said, and I am paraphrasing her...
My thought for the day in relation to Donald Trump is this: loyalty is the enemy of honesty. Loyalty is very important to Trump and Trump supporters. ...
I'm no lawyer but I've worked with enough of them to know they often focus on the exact language, i.e. the "letter of the law." And that's how this ar...
If it is trolling, it is brilliant trolling, because it is pointing out that you can't have it both ways. That's true! You cannot, out of one side of ...
Right, but according to Trump his alternate slate of electors were the ones that should have been counted. Any time I encounter someone who claims Tru...
I never thought of that before, but for everyone who defends Trump by saying he isn't lying if he truly believes he won the 2020 election when he clai...
Isn't there a legal principle about not being able to judge one's own case? I think that would apply to not being able to pardon oneself even if the C...
If Trump becomes the Republican candidate after the primary is over, but then is convicted of a felony prior to the general election, are the Republic...
That's right, Mikie. Many Trump supporters said they would still vote for him if he is a convicted felon. In the August debate, six of the eight Repub...
I'm a Pennsylvania resident who voted for Biden. My vote is one of the votes that Trump wanted to invalidate with the "Green Bay Sweep" plot pressurin...
One possibility is that many Trump supporters -- like Trump himself -- don't really care about democracy. They may pay lip service to it at times, but...
Today I was wondering if Trump supporters are the least bit worried that Trump will become a dictator. If not, I wonder why not. Trump has a history o...
I often see Trump supporters call his detractors "Trump haters" as if our judgment is clouded by some irrational emotion, as if our mere dislike of hi...
The more I see interviews with Trump supporters at Trump rallies the more disturbed I get. They seem to care more about the narrative than facts. They...
I have zero sympathy for Giuliani. He went from being America's mayor to being Trump's stooge. He pushed the "election was stolen" narrative when he k...
It's painful to read a Trump transcript. To be fair it's often painful to read a Biden transcript, too. Why can't we have leaders who can speak with p...
The context was that Hannity was throwing a slow pitch so Trump could reassure people that he doesn't have dictatorial ambitions. Trump could have hit...
Truth is often stranger than fiction. Still... Even if Trump hasn't been proven to be guilty of collusion with the Russians, that doesn't mean he's be...
This question always reminds me of hearing about a limitation on how much CEO's can make in relation to the lowest paid employee in the company in som...
Social winners are naturally selected yet that doesn't always mean they are good for society. Natural selection can be an explanation for why things a...
I associate honesty with the mindset of maturity or wisdom. To me, a fully mature and wise person realizes the deeper value of honesty that goes beyon...
This goes both ways. What I see on the conservative side, with conservative media, is defining liberals and Democrats as evil -- demonizing them non-s...
