Donald is in trouble

[ferdmonger]

And I just read that 63% of republicans are just fine with the RNC paying Donnie's legal bills.  What in the world has happened to this party. 

[ferdmonger]

Just to add that I don't really see a problem with this.  If these dorks want to squander their money on paying off porn stars I'm good with that - leaves less money for down ballot races and advertising.

Some of the remaining "leadership" (a generous term in a party so beholden to Trump that they sometimes don't even bother putting together a platform) is concerned about Trump wasting RNC funds.  But they're no longer in control, so it doesn't much matter what they think - a system Trump would very much like to extend to the entire country.

I expect that by the time November rolls around the Donald will be firmly ensconced in a facility for the criminally insane.
I really hope I'm right about that.

Being kicked in the face with truth is painful, but it is still truth.

Drumph can't handle the truth! 🧐

Trump has a realistic chance of getting the presidency.
I still think it more likely biden will get his second term.
But it can come down to a few thousand votes in swing states, so nothing is certain.

But even if he does get the presidency again... I think it very likely he´ll bankrupt the rnc to get there, and help lose the house and squander the republicans chances of taking back the senate.
And he doesn't care, I think.
If he can be a powerful president, all the better. He´ll enact project 25 regardless and do anything he can to enrichen himself and project himself and expand his influence.
But he´ll Settle for being a lame-duck president with a senate and the house against him, if it means at least 4 more years of freedom and a shot at getting rid of some of those pesky lawsuits.

By the time November is here Drumph won't have any base left, I think. Even his most die-hard fans will come to realize that he is the worst person on the planet to put in charge of the most powerful nation that has ever existed.
I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt it.

What a country. For leader, it's a choice between the senile old man and the other senile old man.

[Unbeliever]

Well, I'd rather have a senile old man who isn't a wannabe tyrant than a senile old man who loves tyrants so much that he openly praises them in public and wants desperately to be one just so he can stay out of prison.

I've been holding my nose and voting for what I consider the lesser of evils for decades. 🤷�♂️

Funnily enough, hurr claimed in his full report that biden has an outstanding memory.

Biden has some issues without a doubt, but it's not "inject bleach" bad.  It's not "we're building a wall in Colorado" (referring to the border wall with Mexico) bad.  It's not Viktor Orban, the leader of Turkey bad.  It's not confusing Obama and Biden multiple times bad.  It's not getting the name of the city you're in wrong bad.

And yet 86% of Americans think Biden is too old to be President, while 62% of Americans think Trump is too old to be President.  Apparently that logic is unrelated to the facts on the ground, which wouldn't be a first for Americans, who also poll high (compared to the rest of the world) on creationism, the existence of angels, ghosts, and the devil.

Judge denies Trump's request to dismiss charges in classified documents case

Trump's lawyers said the case should be thrown out because of the Presidential Records Act. Prosecutors said that law only applies to personal records, not classified national secrets.

Fun fact: the President Records Act exists because Nixon sought to destroy records relating to him after he resigned.  His rationale was that they're his own private property, so he can do with them whatever he wants.  This act made the records public - so anything "documenting the performance of the President's official duties" has to be preserved.

Trump's lawyers are essentially arguing that this bathroom full of classified documents (perfect blackmail material and I'm sure his foreign friends positively love staying at his crib) doesn't constitute a crime because...these classified documents are somehow public property despite literally being taken as if they were Trump's private property, which they aren't.  Such a reach that they built a Halo structure around it or something (I'm not as well-versed in those games as I used to be)

Trump's lawyers also brought up the fact that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was never prosecuted for her use of a private email server.

You read that right.  They did a "BUT HER EMAILS!" in front of a federal judge lol.  What buffoons.  No wonder Trump wound up at a Four Seasons Total Landscaping.  I'm just amazed that it didn't happen sooner.
