President Biden and US politics catchall

[TB63]

Some helpful reminders for all of the “ELECTION INTERFERENCE” losers out there.

FACT: Cy Vance (NY DA at the time) began issuing subpoenas in the hush money payment case in August of 2019.

FACT: Fani Willis launched her investigation into Trump in 2021.

FACT: The United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack opened their investigation in July of 2021.

FACT: Letitia James opened her NYC business fraud investigation into Trump in 2019.

FACT: The National Archives first asked Donald Trump to return the classified documents he took in May of 2021.
He only returned some, not all. So, in March of 2022, the FBI opened an investigation. That August, they searched Mar-a-Lago.

Donald Trump announced his candidacy on November, 15, 2022.

FACT: all five of those investigations into Trump were undertaken BEFORE he ever announced he was running again.

FACT: He’s not being indicted in the middle of his campaign, he’s campaigning in the middle of his indictments.

Grifters gonna grift...

It makes me warm and tingly all over to know that as he lies in bed ready for sleep, somewhere deep inside of him he is aware of how pathetic an image he casts, touting shoes as a way of raising money to pay $0.5bn in penalties (the E Jean Carroll case and the fraud case, with accrued interest).

Tingle up... there are more cases in the pipeline promising similarly large fines, a d scuttlebutt suggests there's no way he can meet the current fines, let alone a slab more.

That would suggest an awareness of shame. Honestly don't know if he's capable, much less any sense of it.

Endless fascination watching these sorts of humans power on to infinity without a shred of conscience. Could achieve great things if they weren't so self obsessed.

You may well be correct in that he actually does not possess any sense of shame.

That $243k will cover about 3 days' interest before he pays up.

TBF, he did become the most powerful person on the planet.

Do we think any of these fines are actually going to come to anything? Are they really going to go after him for it? Is there really any chance of him going to prison for not paying? I’d obviously hope so, but I’m very sceptical that much will change

[TB63]

Lets see the orange turd spin this..

Trump's abysmal ranking seemed to transcend party lines, with both Republicans and Democrats agreeing on his historical failure.

Even amongst solely Republicans, Trump netted out at number 41 on the list of presidents out of 45 who have served the office. Meanwhile, those who identified as Conservatives ranked Trump 43, while those who identified as independents ranked him dead last at 45, matching his overall ranking.

This stands in stark contrast to views of Joe Biden's presidency. The historians ranked Biden the 14th overall greatest president, just a couple of spots behind Bill Clinton (12) and ahead of other more recent presidencies, including Reagan (16), George H.W. Bush (19), George W. Bush (32) and Carter (22). Barack Obama moved up the list to number 7.

Those sneakers are hilarious, I guess he is trying to go after the hip hop crowd for votes. When I still lived in China you could pick up those same style gold sneakers at costume shops, minus the American flag, for about $15 at the most. Very sure he got those from the "enemy" China

I assume this is like his POS NFTs, & just a way to go around the campaign contribution laws, by setting up a way that donor can buy 10x pairs of sneakers, for say a, Corporate raffle, knowing full well they'll never receive them, but legally it ain't a contribution.

13 Presidents were one-termers

5 Presidents lost the popular vote.

4 Presidents have been impeached or resigned.

1 President has been criminally indicted, found to be a rapist, liar and fraudster by a court of law.

And only one has done ALL FOUR.

[lemonhead]

He hasn't lost yet.

Mockers, have mercy.

Yeah; but that was before we got to know him !

Everyone thought the shit he spouted was just playing to the base, & when he got into power he'd just knuckle down ... he didn't.
Then there was Covid ...
Then there was the impeachment(s) ...
Then there was the rotating list of staff, & dozens of tell-all books....

Then lost the next election !!!!!! ... and that's the biggie.

Then he supported a long list of candidates who lost ever safer seats, & he's on a long lasting string of losses, & a number of the MAGA nutters are in dire straits themselves, because they're toxic for donors who've moved on.

As for the fines; if there's one thing the yanks do pretty well it's rogering people with their legal system. The more money you have, the longer you can put off the consequences, but it's very rare that you can corrupt the system enough to escape them.

The appeals in NY will take a maximum of two years, & all the while the interest will be growing, but the judgement will almost certainly have to be paid; Engeron is a very experienced Judge, & he is unlikely to have gifted the traitor grounds for a successful appeal, the only question is who will pay the bill ?, if he wins in November, it won't be the traitor himself.

There's no possibility of him going to debtors prison anyway, because Engeron had the foresight to appoint a monitor, to make sure there were no attempts to reduce the company so that assets couldn't be seized if necessary. She stays in place for the next three years, so if & when the appeals run out, there's someone in place to just liquidate the assets, & hand the money over to City.

There is another very important part of the fine print not shown there that says that all sales are final and there will be no refunds Just imagine getting a keychain with sneakers on it As the way the fine print is written, they can send you just about anything and you cannot send it back and get a refund

Apparently a Russian CEO bought a signed pair at Sneakercon for $9000. Maybe he was there on Trump's request to create publicity for the shoes.

[Rhubarb & Custard]

He's had say a decade since finally deciding to run for office to consider the situation in the USA, but now, now unto him is the truth revealed in a matter of hours by dint of unrelated actions in an entirely different country

So how did this murder in Russia make him more aware of conspiracies/corruption in the USA?

And then not just how did it make him more aware, but more and more aware?

His shoes have red soles.

Louboutin fearlessly defends his copyrighted red soles, they are his trademark.

Whoever made them would've known about that.

Drump would know that, yet he's still touting them.

Louboutin will sue, they'll never get their shoes now, as it'll be said they can't be dispatched due to ongoing litigation, but he's got their money and the small print states that no guarantee of delivery..

[fishfoodie]

The loser traitor has found his place in life, lowest of the low .... a shoe salesman !

Stop trying to apply logic.

That story is nonsense. He's not a Russian CEO. It was Roman Sharf. He is a huge personality in the watch and designer goods grey market industry and social media.
He's actually a Ukranian immigrant who came to the US as a kid and served in the US Army. He has raised millions for aid to Ukraine. He's explained that it is purely a business investment.

[TB63]

Trump's request to delay the enforcement of the ENORMOUS $355 million dollar fraud judgement against him has been DENIED by Judge Engoron.

The judge emailed Trump's attorney, Cliff Robert, and told him in less than 30 words that Trump had "failed to explain, much less justify, any basis for a stay."

Oh..




Dear...

[Kiwias]

But Joe Biden, he can’t win. He’s just trying to stay in there just so he’d stay out of jail, to be honest with you,

And here I was thinking that it is Trump facing 91 charges in four or more trials. Silly me.

According to Fox News Trump has now cornered the Black vote because " Black people love sneakers...and trump understands black culture better than anyone" White "experts" telling people what black people are thinking in the USA.

Orange piece of Shit said he supports the availability of IVF treatment, joining a growing number of Republicans who are seeking to distance themselves from an Alabama court ruling on the issue.

I have been avoiding the DJT issue, and this thread, because the whole of US politics is such a shit show and goes much deeper than just this one person and party.


So hate Trump all you want, I couldn't care less.


But you fucking leave Al Bundy out of this. He's a god and role model. He does not deserve to be dragged into this shit show!!!

Now I'm angry.
