Has the Supreme Court given its judgement yet about Presidential immunity ?

 

   If not, why is YouTube dishing up "short" videos from the likes of Glenn Kirschner saying that it HAS ruled that Presidents are not immune from prosecution ?

Not at all. Trump will most likely ensure America is out of NATO before Russia go ahead though. I genuinely believe he's in collusion with Putin.

 

As you say, the Poles will be like a dug aboot stovies the first time the Russkis cross the border. Up to Germany, France and Britain not to shit the bed.

Let’s hope Mme LePen isn’t in charge.

Even better day for Trump. 

Yes.  There has been discussion on JKB over the years about the possibility of Trump ever going to jail.  I have held fast to the opinion that he will never serve time behind bars.  However, I think that he might well do time after all, but it will be because he can't keep his trap shut and a judge will give him 24 hours in the slammer for contempt of court.

He'll like that, of course, because it will fit in well with his "poor me" victim persona.

When he's elected in November, can he pre-emptively pardon himself?

He'll simply tell the DOJ to drop the case.

Some quite bizarre & creepy stuff in Stormy's testimony.   Trump's about to have sex with a porn star  and decides to compliment her by saying that  she looks like his daughter Ivanka.

So Stormy Daniels confirms Trump did indeed say she reminded him of his daughter, while in silk pajamas and robe or something Hugh Hefner style, while trying to have sex with her. Who would have thought it.

 

Well at least he loves his daughter, even if inappropriately which is something I suppose, he no doubt also likes that woman who killed a dog because he's a known dog hater. Plus one for Hitler.

 

Trump has also already redeemed Nixon to a remarkable degree, Nixon looks petty in comparison.

Good day for Stormy Daniels, probably. 

 

Wrong. A terrible day she admitted she has no intention of paying Trump the money she owes him under oath. Not one word of her "testimony" had a grain of relevance to the charges.

Trump Derangement Syndrome. 

 

It's a derogatory term used by MAGA nuts/Trump surrogates (defenders) and Trump himself to attack people who don't agree with Trump or regularly participate in trashing Trump.

 

It's your standard Trump self projection response.

Of course that's what it is. What I'm creasing myself at is the unhinged reaction. This thread is an echo chamber of people trying to out do each other to show they hate Trump more than anyone else. The only thing missing is people arguing I hate him more, no i do type fights. You should re-name the thread accordingly.

I would suggest that the other thing missing is pro-Trump posts. 

Trump might win the November election and I, for one, would appreciate hearing from those who think that that would be a good thing.  I'm assuming that there's more to it than "Biden's too old!"

I've not heard that term.

 

But despite my lack of professional psychological training I'm hazardung a guess that Jfk is the test cae.

And as God is my witness he is guilty.

I definitely don't think it's a good thing.

But I don't think he is a threat to world peace.

In fact I view Biden as more a threat.

 

The hypocrisy is astounding on this thread.

It absolutely nips my nut .

But post a smidgen of contradiction and more than any other threat you're nailed.

 

Other threads as well.

Your social media thread is a favourite put down.

 

Imo you all especially on this thread get your heads out yer arse it's roughly the same height as the rest of ours.

I already asked if you thought black and Hispanic voters of Trump are rising.

Got an answer from Watt but sorry it didn't answer the question.

Are black and Hispanic voters dumb white racists ?

Anyway horrible choice but like everything these days.

One or the other.

 

i dunno the point I'm trying to make Maple.

But we have spraffed before about this.

The wild thing is when you actually try to see what's inconceivable you realise we all broadly agree.

 

Sorry I just see divide and rule .

Wtf am I even on about.

Pal you're so far gone up this simple minded weirdos arse you're the one who is coming across as deranged. He and the likes of him are where you get your parroted lines from. You're being their birdbrain, useful idiot type of thing. How dumb would one have to be to be dumber than Trump?

 

You're the one coming across as some sort of obsessed simple minded Trumpet fanboy and in fact so simple minded your drivel amounts to nothing but repeating what the moron himself says. Throw in witch hunt and you're right there at the bottom of the stupid barrel with him.


You're so far incapable of saying anything about anything at all aside from some bizarre whining like a trump cult weirdo about how no one likes your idol shitey diapers and all . Well it's up to the likes of you to alert the rest of us to the unseen genius of Trump. Enlighten us.

 

But I think you can't, because I think you're no different to those witless wonders at those dumb rallies he has. Clapping like seals at every low IQ grunt.


Prove me wrong, I hope you do, but I wont be holding my breath waiting for something that patently can't see right through Trump to say something rational. Trump is obviously deranged and anyone who can't see it has issues of their own.

Sorry @Ked.  I wasn't aware that you'd asked me a question.  I missed that.  Apologies.

 

The latest poll numbers I've been able to find, from February, indicate that the Dems are losing ground with some Black and Hispanic voters.  Why that's the case I don't know.  My guess is that they feel that they and their families would be better off with a Trump administration; in other words, it's about economics.  I certainly don't think that they're "dumb, white racists" (your words).

 

One stat which surprises me is that more Catholics will vote for Trump.  Go figure.  Trump is Christian in name only, while Biden is a devout, practicing Catholic.

 

The situation is the US is a puzzle.  According to a 100 Presidential Scholars, Trump was the worst Prez in American history, yet he has a good chance of winning in November.

 

I'm still trying to pull my head out of my arse, as you suggest.  :biggrin2:

Interesting rant from Bill Maher about the appointing of special prosecutors. Seems there hasn't been a major investigation by a democratic special prosecutor since Watergate, "somehow the rule became it has to be a Republican or it's not fair"

 

When Democrats have to choose a top lawman, they worry so much about appearing non-partisan that they pick someone who lets actual crimes go unpunished.

Biden is seen along with the political class of US politics for what they are imo.

And the dressing up.of that lot as somehow preferable to Trump on morality simply doesn't wash.

It's a farce.

And it's bewildering to me how anyone can be more angry at Trump than others.

I disagree.  Trump is a self-admitted serial sexual abuser of women, and I refer you to the E.J. Carroll case where Trump was convicted of sexual abuse.  IMHO, Trump is unfit to hold any political office on that basis alone.

Trump is on video asking the Georgia Secretary of State to "find 11780 more votes". 

That's a brazen attempt to coerce an official to corrupt a democratic election. How on earth can a man who's prepared to threaten officials into committing election fraud be a suitable candidate for anything?

He belongs in jail for that one alone.

Have any other candidates attempted treason?

What has Biden done that's even slightly comparable?

Doubtful, being there isn't optional. Anybody trying to "storm out" of their own criminal trial will be instantly arrested. Only kind of criminal who might is one who thinks he can escape, or doesn't think he can escape but still wants to be arrested for some oddball reason. And/or is just crazy.

 

Trump ticks a few boxes there, not the escape one. How far is a blubber ball like him toting even more wobbly weight in a diaper going to get. I could walk backwards faster than he could run forwards without falling over. Though I don't know if I could if I were wrapped in a shitty diaper.

 

But, diaperless I could negotiate a ramp backwards faster than he can while looking where his fat arse is going, even without a handrail, I suspect most people could. Imagine this orange walrus trying to escape to escape anything at all.

 

Now I know some people become upset deranged when I talk about how Trump shits in a diaper, while not giving equal time to someone else who shits in a diaper? I don't know anybody below maybe about 2 who does that.

 

Besides, if i'm cruelly ripping on his shitiness I need the fans to tell us all how much better than Biden Trump is, none ever do. But that's not surprising, I have tried and can't think of a single thing that would redeem Trump to even normal human status.

 

And funnily enough neither can the fanboys, that's weird, we're apparently opposed but the same in that respect.

Indeed.  The similarity between the RNC's lurch to Trumpism in the U.S   and the Tory Party's lurch to Boris Johnson in the UK in 2018/19  is startling.   2 complete buffoons who (for some bizarre  reason) successfully managed to con millions of voters into believing they were truthful geniuses fit to lead them to better things.

 

Both with enormous egos , caring only for what they can grift for themselves and their wealthy cronies  from the adventure.
