I just don't have sufficienit time to give to things like this trial like I once did. I am unable to keep up with the events and the nuances. How is it going in the sense that will it likely make things more difficult for DJT at a minumum going forward? Rob
You know, I am not the least bit interested in it. It's kind of the same old stuff regarding his past behavior and his sordid character. I am not convinced it will make a difference in the outcome of the election.
Not following it much at all. Life is too short.
Too many sordid details. Supposedly if we get through them all, we'll see "election interference" proven.
Is anyone else as glad as I am that it's not being televised?
They need a channel that is Donald JTrump trials all the time, a separate channel just for that.Quote:

As I've mentioned here before, Democrats across the judicial system and the entire social media landscape seem to be doing their damndest to ensure he's re-elected for some reason.
I think the evening news summaries are interesting,, but the details are a little much. I did get a little more interested when they were talking of throwing Donald in jail for violating the gag order, but that seems to have passed.
I saw where some comedian said something like, he paid $130,000 to keep the affair away from the voters, and it turns out the voters don't care. So he just wasted them money.
I continue to wonder why this man is so fascinating to people that the media makes it their mission to cover his every word and deed. Boring...
It was kind of a self inflicted wound on trump's part. If he would've just acknowledged that they had sex then she wouldn't have been needed as a witness.Quote:

Barely at all, but since the more important cases against Trump seem to have self-destructed for reasons that have absolutely nothing at all to do with Trump's innocence (Trump appointed judges, affairs among the participants etc.) I just hope he gets jail time on this, getting Al Capone for tax evasion.
What crime do you think he should be convicted of before summarily sending him to jail?Quote:

Personally though, if I were vindictive enough I'd start with his mis-treatment of hair and attempt to elevate that to a federal offense.Quote:

Not only do I completely agree with you, IL, but you gave me a good laugh, Thank You. RobQuote:

EVEN I CAN SEE THAT. Were this a country to truly be proud of, were it all that in reality - Donald James Trump would have long ago been sentenced to lengthy years in prison. This has yet to happen - so - have I made my point? Rest assured if you can't see the point, Alan, which to me is clearly visible from many miles away, the folks in my neighborhood (no I won't mention my zip code again) can and do see this point. Instantly. RobQuote:

And could he not pick a more muted color for his ties? This 80's "power look" does him no favors.Quote:

Even with my debateable fashion sense I could pick out that which would dress him much better than he dresses himself. Ditto DJT If he could behave and be markedly less obnoxious for an hour or two I could re-outfit him better secondhand than he dresses himself. Rob
To me, it's simply this. Donald James Trump represents the lack of morals and ethics and decency in US society and the mission to make and worship money at all costs, regardless of the damage to both the planet and the human race. To watch Donald James Trump for any length of time is to come face to face with the slow motion collapse of US society. Even as repulsed by the man as I am as I can see straight though him to the evil lurking right at the surface - it can be fascinating for someone like myself who has never been in denial of the dark side of the United States to come face to face with this epitome of what is wrong with the United States/potential instigator of it's quickening pace of fall. And then when I realize that roughly 1/2 of the US continues to support him, I feel very grateful that I realistically will never fit into this society at any level other than the surface. RobQuote:

At the moment it's crystal clear that all men are not created equal. Adding this to a lack of socialized medicine, is there any reason to have any faith or loyalty in this country? Seriously, we need to thank DJT - more Americans every day are waking up to the bitter truth of the United States. If Donald Trump is not incarcerated, do you (plural meaning you'all) really want to be around here for the payback as more people wake up to the truth of the US?Quote:
