I don’t know because I’m not obsessed with that stuff like so many in the Trump camp seem to be. It’s not still a headline because it happened 4 years ago and one or two other things have happened since then.

Also, the comparison argument is so tired. One person (or a group of people) committing crime has never made it okay for someone else to. If Biden (or Clinton) had the record that Trump has now, no one on this side would be defending them.

Someone is going to chime in and say that they DO have the same record, or are guilty of the same crimes, and no they are not. Republicans have been scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for clues to create an equivalency and can’t find anything except that Bill Clinton was friends with a pedophile and that Hunter Biden is a sketch ball. Hunter’s probably going to spend time in jail, and he should. As soon as some evidence shows up against Bill, he should get everything that one deserves for the type of crimes he may have committed.

This Trump thing happened over 4 years ago yet you and your libtard friends are still fucking beating off about it. 

Don’t you have anything better to do than get hard and beat your little dick about Trump? 
 

Fucktards like you and your buddies that don’t even know what’s a boy and what’s a girl and can’t get over the fact that Trump hurt your feelings are fucking this country.

If you really cared about America you’d be just as concerned about what the complete fuckwit in office is doing now but you don’t….all you care about is taking down Trump cause he hurt your little bitch feelings.

You are not guilty until you are proven guilty. They failed to prove OJ guilty. Trump was proven guilty and then still didn’t shut the F up, so a jury, not a judge, decided he was also guilty of continuing to be an a-hole. 

You do realize that the guilty verdict was in a civil case, not a criminal case, right? Completely different standards of proof/evidence/guilt.

I tried explaining that to him… didn’t work. 

No, I get it. Civil is different from criminal. He wasn’t criminally convicted. You still know what I’m talking about if I use that word instead of “found to be liable for a civil wrongdoing.” You guys just seem to be ignoring, denying and/or downplaying that a judge and jury decided he’s a rapist and I don’t know what else to say about that.

This Trump thing is happening right now! My life has been better since Biden has been in office! My salary has gone up, my 401k has gone up, I’ve bought a home, I’ve started a family. My life is awesome. The night Biden won the election I felt a sense of calm that I hadn’t experienced in four years, and yeah I’m losing it over here because I’m in disbelief that we’re doing this again.

Being factual is not jumping through hoops. 
 My main point of this is slipping past you. Without the accuracy of splitting hairs, this leftist DOJ could convict anyone, of anything they want, at any time. . They made their own rules. They cut the track and nobody called them out. 
 

is this the justice system you want to go up against? 
 

edit:

Also, the way I understand it, conviction would be for a criminal case. Liable is civil

If Trump was convicted criminally, we would be discussing years, not dollars. 

Being factual, it was a private individual, E. Jean Carroll, not the DOJ, that took Trump to court and won $83.3 million in a civil trial.

Also, since you brought it up, that was part of the point I was trying to make.  It was a CIVIL trial, not a criminal one. He was never convicted of rape, only found civilly liable, which bears almost zero, if not zero burden of proof. 
 

The trials were in the New York Supreme Court, which is a New York State court, which is not part of the DOJ.

Well you are in the minority pal….

Has the cost of gas or groceries negatively affected your life or is paying twice as much somehow a good thing for you?

Do you enjoy the constant wars and billions of your tax dollars going to it?

Imagine how much less your house woulda cost without inflation and interest rates skyrocketing?

Does any of that matter or the only thing that matters is the calm your pussy ass felt from Orange Man bad losing and not being able to hurt your feelings while being president anymore?

Also, how’d you start a family? Adoption? Being gay and getting butt fucked doesn’t make kids no matter what you and your libtard buddies think.

You must want ass fucked by Biden too eh?

Pathetic fucking humans.  Are you one of those faggot libards too that are willing to burn our country down just cause your a fucking pussy that got your feelings hurt by Trump?

 

Maybe you and the fucking queer liberal arts major can get together and butt fuck each other to celebrate this win over Trump.

And you’ve called out strangers’ genitalia twice now. The trans thing is such a non-issue, but republicans have nothing else to run on so it’s been elevated to this crazy level. I have two trans friends. If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t know. They’re just people who want to live their lives and use the bathroom in public places sometimes. It would look way more weird if you saw them walk into the other one. As one of them pointed out to me, getting a haircut is “gender affirming care.” The way you dress is gender affirming. If you cut your hair short, wear pants instead of dresses, and don’t wear make-up, you are choosing to present yourself as a man. It seems like it matters way too much to you how other people want to do it.

The price of things go up over time. I grew up during an endless war started when a Republican was in office. No, I don’t like that my money pays for weapons and war. The stress I felt for four years was from how Orange Man acted. As things have revved up in Ukraine and the Middle East I’ve been thankful to have an adult in the room not making wild threats.

For Trump supporters – nothing he has done or ever will do – will get them to not vote for Trump because he isn't their past...

For Trump supporters – nothing he has done or ever will do – will get them to not vote for Trump because he isn't their past or future President; he is their messiah. You bring up his documented failures as a man, they deflect to the pasts of others. You bring up his documented failures as a president, they cry "witch hunt". You hold up Trumps own words in any arena in which he is a failure, and it's "fake news", or a "hit job", or a "democrat / FBI conspiracy". Yet not one single person on this board, or in the real world, has ever defended Trump by actually defending Trump because it is an impossible task when he's left to stand on his own two feet. It has been, and will only ever be, deflect and attack.

Just look at the thread in which I posed the question asking them to say 5 bad things about Trump. After a solid week of Trump folks jumping on everything I've posted on this board at a pace in which could power the world for a week if you could harness it, when asked to speak ill about their fuhrer... crickets, deflections, and personally attacks. So now, not only can they not defend Trump on his own merits, but they refuse to say anything bad about him either. It's the same reason they shit on Hollywood celebrities – despite the fact many of them were every day folks just like you and I before they reached their level of success – yet they can't stop praising a silver-spoon reality TV star. Textbook cult behavior.

The truth of the matter is, the only way Trump supporters would stop supporting Trump, is to break bread with those who are in contrast to the very fantasy that Trump has given them the confidence to believe as their reality; much akin to how most KKK folks only realize the faults of their ways when they put in the effort to spend time with Jews and Black people. But Trump folks won't do that either as it takes an openness they don't want to poses and a drive for actual change they don't want to have because to learn Trump was wrong would destroy the foundation they've built (that has already cost many of them so much) and believing in a messiah is easier than doing the work yourself.

It's sad to see such passionate people wasting their awe inspiring levels of dedication on a man who has proven time and time again that not only couldn't he care less about them – or the country he was selected to represent –  but through their blind admiration they are lumping themselves in with a man with a moral value of absolute zero.

There is only one messiah...and it's damned sure not Donald Trump. Most of the people who support him don't do so out of some blind loyalty...

There is only one messiah...and it's damned sure not Donald Trump. Most of the people who support him don't do so out of some blind loyalty. They do so because they do not believe anything the mainstream media has to say. As for me, I think Donald Trump comes off as abrasive, dismissive, self centered, egotistical, and in general an ass. I would not care to be around the man in a social setting if that's how he truly conducts himself. I will vote for him again though, as I see the direction the leaders of this country are taking it. I don't like where we're headed, and of the two candidates, I believe Mr. Trump was and is the better choice for the future of our nation. I think we need someone who is willing to do what needs to be done. Someone who does not care whose feelings get hurt in the process. We Americans have become too soft.

Politically speaking, I would describe myself as Libertarian rather than Republican. Unfortunately, the two party system doesn't really allow for political choice.

Here comes the Karen’s downvoting your ass. I don’t like it! Down vote him! 😂

You must be literally retarded if you think the recent inflation is just “things going up in cost over time” 

Fuck me, I feel so bad for your kid. 0% chance they grow up to be a functioning and contributing member of society while they follow your lead. 100% chance they go to college for a worthless degree like your faggot ass did and then want the rest of us that actually work to pay back their loan. 
 

What’s sad is that when Biden does drag us into WW3 his supporters like you will be no good for anything except analyzing the feelings of it. We won’t need liberal arts pussies like you, we’ll need real fucking men.

Does my profile show location? I’m software engineer. Guess what A LOT OF northern Virginia employers are focused on. I’m absolutely not going to fight anybody with my fists because I’m not a moron with a death wish, but you’re fucking welcome that you won’t have to either.

I made $180k in 2023 and my much-more educated partner is the breadwinner in our house. Ours kids are going to be just fine and you don’t have to worry about paying for them.

Its amazing that without anyone changing what they thought for the last 20 years, that half of the USA is now a Far Right ,Racist, threat to Democracy.

I would love someone who had been in a Coma for 20 years, to wake up, and watch a Biden speech, without knowing what it was, and then being asked to guess . 

And then wondering why the fuck they woke up. 

 

It's not nearly 'half of America' is a Far Right Racist.

That's an inflated number for the MAGA. More like 30%

Salaries may have gone up but, I’m spending $300+ weekly for just my wife and, I on groceries. Wages aren’t exactly matching the economy. 
Any house around the 500k mark,  needs to be fully gutted and, remodeled where I am.

Gas actually ended up being higher when Trump left office than when he entered…..but not by a lot.

It was going up gradually until demand plummeted during the Covid travel restrictions, and it rose over 30% from the lowest point by the week he unwillingly left office. 

So yeah, Trump had some extremely low gas prices during the pandemic but even with reduced demand those prices were heading upwards at a pretty quick rate before his term was over.

Salaries may have gone up but, I’m spending $300+ weekly for just my wife and, I on groceries. Wages aren’t exactly matching the economy. 
Any house around the 500k mark,  needs to be fully gutted and, remodeled where I am. 



 

$300 a week on groceries?  Holy cow!  Ours is probably half that, for myself, my wife, and our youngest child who is 21. Now if I had to count my bourbon and beer as groceries, I might be closer to that…..!

I do understand and am not denying that. If you told me when I was a kid that I would not feel rich with our household income I wouldn’t have believed you. I also would have assumed I’d get a lot more house for what I paid for mine.

We use a website called Budget Bytes (https://www.budgetbytes.com/) for a lot of our recipes and buy everything we can at Lidl and Aldi. I don’t know how common those are but they’re barebones and cheap grocery stores. We spend like $60-80 week on food*. When I was single I spent probably $400+ 😆

*We’re vegetarian, and I know meat would be more expensive. Yes I sound more like a stereotype with everything I share.

This Trump thing is happening right now! My life has been better since Biden has been in office! My salary has gone up, my 401k has gone up, I’ve bought a home, I’ve started a family. My life is awesome. The night Biden won the election I felt a sense of calm that I hadn’t experienced in four years, and yeah I’m losing it over here because I’m in disbelief that we’re doing this again.

Top that off with most of the meat we eat is salmon I caught last summer. We’ve saved plenty of money in doing so.

I’ve always watched the prices of salmon in stores. Three years ago, wild sockeye was. $4.99 a pound. Now, it’s $12 per pound. 
Chinook is almost $30 a pound.

If you can enlighten me on why your 401k went up I’d be intrigued. Oil is pretty hot right now, invested in it?

When Biden took office the Dow was 30,930 now its 38,109. The S&P was 3,841 it’s now 4,891. The Nasdaq was 13,543 now it’s 15,455.

I don’t care what walk of life you’re from. 
You’re vegan. Cool. Wanna wave a flag? That’s your deal. Not mine. 
 

I realized I was checking these threads for updates to argue. That isn’t my style and, I’m done. 
 

One question. What  kind of dirt bike do you own? Hopefully, you’re not using vegetable oil in the pre mix. 😎

Had to switch to pedal power some years back. My last bikes were a new 2005 YZ125 and then a used 2005 CRF250. I can’t believe that was almost 20 models ago.

I wonder who could be benefiting from that?
