paul carruthers Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Not to try and start a war, or anything, but is there anything the Teflon Donald can't do that his staunchest supporters won't try to apologize, or explain away or try to whitewash. A serious question that probably won't yield a good answer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabe Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 No apologies about Trump from me. He is what he is. The Don was clearly railroaded by the DOJ. What concerns me most in the big picture is the doddering senile old man running the show who can't carry on a conservation without a teleprompter. Who is pulling his strings? Give me anyone not from old Joe's side (including Kennedy)and I should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) Fair enough, jabe. I don't have total faith in Papa Joe for the next 4 years, but given the alternative, I suppose it's damned if you vote, damned if you don't....

chillumpuffer Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 @paul carruthers @jabe Oh please. Let this continue. It's far too amusing for it to end. Syrup is beyond ridiculous and Biden is beyond Pension age. Over here in the land of the suppressed, we have Dishi " Billionaire" Sunak and his bunch of thieving twats or Kier "wet fish" Starmer, who has less ideas as one's old uncle who has dementia. Oh, we have an Election over here next month, though it doesn't contain a has been Porn Star or someone who requires a daily reminding of who he is. I will be casting my vote to The Green Party. I like things green. Know what I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure election interference. If Trump had remained a private citizen, this sham wouldn't have evolved. Too bad the trial wasn't televised so the public could view in real time how biased this hand-picked judge was. Funny thing is....in Trump's trial....the glove did fit !

Something that can be applied to both sides according to the bullshit media silo's representing both sides. Is Trump really a "victim" of the justice system? How much deference was Trump given in his STATE trial? (nothing to do with Garland or Biden) Like seriously. Who else is forgiven for persistently violating gag orders and generally just spewing shit about every single aspect of the judicial system/trial at hand/judge DURING HIS TRIAL?!?!?!?! A jury of his peers found him guilty. You know, based on ONLY the FACTS that are assessed by random fuckers - as is the legal system that EVERYONE is supposed to be subject to EQUALLY. How much deference? And I'll save the tidbit of his entire 1st term cabinet and inner circle HE CHOSE not only not endorsing him (up to his VP no less) but many being convicted felons for another rant.... No one else would enjoy even 1/2 of what Trump got away with in his trial and it is rigged????? pffffft. Rigged is right. Just not rigged against a rich and powerful sociopath who enjoys every inch of caution granted to him by the court despite his incredible contempt of the judge and the court. Who else is afforded that leeway in the legal system???? It's rigged against the overwhelming majority of Americans who lack the power/connections/contacts that are afforded the "Trumps" of the world. Do you think white collar criminals get anything like a process the average slob has to deal with????? It is mind boggling how you cannot see the con man for what he is. He taps into a discontent, no question. But man, to think he offers anyone anything is insane. Trump is for Trump. Nothing more. Biden may well be a senile shit cunt that offers nothing but bad ideas, but he IS a life long public servant that has worked across the aisle for DECADES. He DOES work within the democratic system. And even if you think my assessment of Biden is massively generous or outright false/wrong, it's still no contest. Trump is the greatest con man in US history to date. I can't think of a bigger buffoon. EVERY video of him is a tragic indictment of how embarrassingly limited he is. Yeah, that sounds rich given Bidens limitations, but come on, Biden believes in America. Trump does not. It's as simple as that is it not?

Just like all other Presidents or candidates do going back to Reagan (at least). Trump consistently sells America as a declining shithole. That's all I meant.

Members of jury's have to be approved by both the defense and prosecution last I heard. Please correct me if I'm wrong otherwise, if the jury was rigged Trump's defense lawyers were "in" on it. Case closed. Guilty on all 34 counts by those approved by Trump's legal henchmen. Utter FAiIL !!!! Edited June 7 by Josemanno Fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blood 'shrunk' the gloves. That's why they didn't fit. Leather does that when wet....blood or otherwise. Your explanation may be valid as well.

Utter FAiIL !!!! Both sides were allowed to reject up to 10 prospective jurors without reason. The attorneys were also able to argue why they believed a would-be juror could not be fair and impartial. Merchan had the final say. 2 hours ago, Josemanno said: The blood 'shrunk' the gloves.

I don't think my view is unreasonable, but then again, I also think crying about anything/everything that goes against Trump as "rigged" is insane. composition of the jury... Judges directions... pfffft, distractions. Now your making me laugh. A jury of his peers listened to nothing but evidence and found him guilty. They didn't listen to me or you, or any take or narrative, they were presented facts and factual arguments like happens in court. The defence didn't really offer anything that countered the prosecution, which explains the quick verdict. Probably the clear paper trail and the fact his "fixer" already served time for the SAME THING didn't help, but having no alternative to present to the jury, why would any of them have reasonable doubt? The criminal justice system in America is indeed rigged (just my view), but fuck me, rigged against a rich, powerful bloke???? 🤣 That is properly hilarious! I wonder how many poor powerless fools that find themselves in front of a judge would get to do 1% of what orange man bad tried on - like bitching about the judge, jury, witnesses, integrity of the court, and on and on before they'd be in the slammer with mad fines for contempt? The amount of deference shown to him was off the chain. Rigged. 🤣 ....I hope I gave you some more chuckles mate. You certainly had me guffawing. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
