A Criminal Trial Begins Today

The judge in the case is allowing Trump to attend his son’s graduation. He never said he would not allow him to do so. Trump, however, of course lied to everyone and said he wouldn’t be able to go, and many of you here repeated those lies.

Speaking of Trump lying, he bitches all the time about how he needs to be campaigning and not in a court room. But he’s played golf all day the last three days he’s had out from court. Almost like that’s complete bullshit too. Hmm. Today I guess he had rallies planned, so we will see if he goes through with them. Last one he made all his loyal fans stand in the rain for hours before canceling and not even showing up. On brand for sure.

We already know this is a one sided event to "get Trump". We already know they don't care we know. Their whole strategy is to keep Trump in a court house so he CAN'T campaign. And draw down his financial resources so he CAN'T campaign.

One of the biggest examples is the judge refused to let a former head of the Federal Election Commission testify as an expert witness because he said the payment to Stormy did not constitute a crime. There was NO campaign violation. Without that, the whole case goes bye bye. Why wouldn't the judge let him testify? It would be inappropriate to let him tell the jury "there was no crime" which would kill the case. And folks still refuse to believe this is a sham. The title of this thread really is accurate. The trial is what's criminal, hence "A criminal Trial"

So explain why he's not allowed to tell them it was not a crime. Fact of the matter is if they listed it as a campaign expense, you'd be crying foul, using campaign funds to pay off Stormy. It wasn't a campaign expense and therefore no crime. And Alvin Bagel has no authority of federal law to call it a crime. And the federal folks decided it WASN'T a crime. The only crime is the trial.

Your disdain for the guy is quite freaky. What color are his underwear on sex night? Ever notice that the one thing all of you have in common? You’re voting against someone instead of for someone. You do it out of emotion instead of what is practical. Key difference. I don’t care which way you slice the pie, the 4 years before Biden were much better than the 3 years under him. When you judge the “leader” on what they did for this country instead of who they are then it makes sense. Taxes, fuel, groceries, goods, services, security, city crime, foreign affairs. Care to tell me which one is better than it was?

Man you truly show your ignorance every time you post.

The tax code literally hasn’t changed. We are still under the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” tax code passed by Republicans in 2017.

Crime is literally down nationwide.

Yes inflation sucks. Groceries fuel etc. all included in that. Do we want to give the POTUS credit and blame for all of the economic stuff? If we do, let’s credit Trump for the low fuel prices during the pandemic and blame him for the record job loss, economic recession, and the stock market crash. Let’s also credit Biden with the record job creation and the stock market boom, and blame him for the post pandemic inflation numbers. If we don’t, let’s say that Trump had nothing to do with the low gas prices during inflation because everyone was staying home, and not blame him for the record job loss, economic recession, and stock market crash. Let’s also not give Biden credit for the record job creation and stock market boom, and not blame him for the post pandemic inflation numbers. Which would you like to choose? You pick. Either Trump failed at every level and left office with record high unemployment, an economic recession, stock market crash, and more jobs lost than anyone since Hoover, or you accept that the low gas prices were due to a once in a century pandemic that halted most of the fuel consumption toward the end of his term, thus reducing demand, causing gas prices to be low. Your call.

I don’t really get overly involved in politics but, after reading this, script maybe, it’s off. 
 

The officer that came out when my daughters car was stolen for the second time said, crime is up 150%. 
 

I’m paying $5.15 for regular unleaded gas. 
it was $3.25 four years ago. 
 

Record profits for corporate stock holders while wages remain the same for blue collar guys. 

With Trump in office, jobs didn’t decrease until Covid hit . Now, jobs are starting to grind down to a halt in construction. I have maybe 7 months left of work before, the probability of working for myself or, jumping ship increases significantly.
 

Every penny is being squeezed out of Americans. Usually, each year I’d pay about $450 in taxes. This year, I paid $1550. For what? Nothing changed in my dependents or, deductions. Best part it’s, I only worked 6 months last year. How does working half the year equate to paying 3.4 times the amount I would normally pay after a full year of work? 
 

$1550!!! That’s two titanium axles and, other miscellaneous  hardware I wanted.

Inflation and gas prices suck. They truly do. Nobody is going to dispute that. How much the POTUS is responsible for it though is where people go awry. Corporate profits are at record highs. This is capitalism.

From 2013-2020, regardless of POTUS, the economy was adding jobs and unemployment was falling.

As far as your taxes go, that I am unsure on. I know a few pandemic era tax credits and deductions expired after Congress couldn’t come to an agreement to continue them. That could be the culprit but I’m not sure.

Hoping the best for you. It’s tough for a lot of Americans right now.

Your disdain for the guy is quite freaky. What color are his underwear on sex night? Ever notice that the one thing all of you have in common? You’re voting against someone instead of for someone. You do it out of emotion instead of what is practical. Key difference. I don’t care which way you slice the pie, the 4 years before Biden were much better than the 3 years under him. When you judge the “leader” on what they did for this country instead of who they are then it makes sense. Taxes, fuel, groceries, goods, services, security, city crime, foreign affairs. Care to tell me which one is better than it was?

The tax code literally hasn’t changed. We are still under the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” tax code passed by Republicans in 2017.

Crime is literally down nationwide.

Yes inflation sucks. Groceries fuel etc. all included in that. Do we want to give the POTUS credit and blame for all of the economic stuff? If we do, let’s credit Trump for the low fuel prices during the pandemic and blame him for the record job loss, economic recession, and the stock market crash. Let’s also credit Biden with the record job creation and the stock market boom, and blame him for the post pandemic inflation numbers. If we don’t, let’s say that Trump had nothing to do with the low gas prices during inflation because everyone was staying home, and not blame him for the record job loss, economic recession, and stock market crash. Let’s also not give Biden credit for the record job creation and stock market boom, and not blame him for the post pandemic inflation numbers. Which would you like to choose? You pick. Either Trump failed at every level and left office with record high unemployment, an economic recession, stock market crash, and more jobs lost than anyone since Hoover, or you accept that the low gas prices were due to a once in a century pandemic that halted most of the fuel consumption toward the end of his term, thus reducing demand, causing gas prices to be low. Your call.

I don’t really get overly involved in politics but, after reading this, script maybe, it’s off. 
 

The officer that came out when my daughters car was stolen for the second time said, crime is up 150%. 
 

I’m paying $5.15 for regular unleaded gas. 
it was $3.25 four years ago. 
 

Record profits for corporate stock holders while wages remain the same for blue collar guys. 

With Trump in office, jobs didn’t decrease until Covid hit . Now, jobs are starting to grind down to a halt in construction. I have maybe 7 months left of work before, the probability of working for myself or, jumping ship increases significantly.
 

Every penny is being squeezed out of Americans. Usually, each year I’d pay about $450 in taxes. This year, I paid $1550. For what? Nothing changed in my dependents or, deductions. Best part it’s, I only worked 6 months last year. How does working half the year equate to paying 3.4 times the amount I would normally pay after a full year of work? 
 

$1550!!! That’s two titanium axles and, other miscellaneous  hardware I wanted.

It is my understanding the crime statistics only count felonies. The liberal DA’s in the blue cities, where crime is out of control, downgrade felonies to misdemeanors or dismiss them altogether. Unless your name is President Donald J. Trump. In his case they charge him with felonies upgraded from misdemeanors, or create them out of thin air.

Thanks for the down vote, but for example, in CA someone can steal every day and as long as it is less than $1000, it is a misdemeanor and is not counted in the crime statistics. I guess you are ok with bullshit like that because it helps your narrative.

The point you missed is that Trump did not turn a knob to make the stock market crash, cause unemployment to sky rocket, and plunge us into a recession. Biden did not turn a knob to make inflation insane as the economy recovered from the stock market crash, high unemployment, and the recession. If you want to blame Biden for inflation, then also blame Trump for the hundreds of thousands of people who died from COVID, the horrible job numbers at the end of his term, and the stock market crash. Just be consistent is all I ask.
