What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

Indeed. I get the feeling that the GOP will not learn this lesson from the mid-terms. Abortion issues did a crap-load of footwork for the Dems and gave the GOP an extremely meager majority in the House...and little else. Donnie should throw his weight in with the Anti-Choice group, it would make the GOP's job all the more harder.

Regardless of where you sit politically when it comes to policy, be it left or right, I feel that fighting against women's reproductive rights is the preserve of extreemist religious head-bangers. It serves no operational goal in a nation where there is no paid maternaty leave or any meaningful form of state child-support. It is simply a facade designed to villify the desire of people to have recreational sex. This is something extremist evanglical head-bangers will likely latch onto, despite all likelyhood that for many of them their objections to having sex out of wed-lock (& abortion) don't nessisarily apply to them personally.

Which I feel is why you'll still find many of the evanglical crowd not only still endorse Trump, but also damn near beautify him as an actual religious figure. Literally "God's Chosen". They don't mind that he's as unfaithful, multi-devorced, letcherous scum bag, because they really don't mind that behaviour themselves...only wishing to put up the facade of this kind of "purity" culture, in order to remove the rights of other people who they might not nessisarily approve of.

I feel that this is the level of moral bankrupcy needed to defend Trump, as as been illustrated on this thread lately by his fan club.

Scare tactics imho.

They are being told 24/7 that democrats are communists, socialists, Marxist who want to steal your cooker/BBQ and want to turn your kid transgender.

If you shut that pipeline of rage off, a lot more people would come around.

It would take time of course.

and dont forget the gerrymandering

Bull. Sh*t.

Times 1000

I went a long way in giving specific detail of how much of a fallacy statements like this are on the 'Dangers are coming from the right thread' until a mod decided to stop me posting on it. It makes me particularly mad to see you post statements like this in spite of the evidence to the contrary.

You spent a lot of time on here complaining about the dangers of trans ideology and children being groomed. I saw a tweet yesterday that proved once again how that is nothing more that a culture war strawman right wingers throw in to the ring to try to focus the conversation in a particular direction. It pointed out the number of church leaders arrested in New York for crimes against children as being 8, the number of drag queens arrested in the same period? Zero.

For someone who has spent so much time also preaching on what type of messaging is acceptable when it comes to sexual topics, you have some very concerning takes. I've seen you argue that it should be acceptable for landlords/tenants to have sexual relations in lieu of payment and yesterday/today that what Trump is convicted of doing to Jean Carroll is close to inconsequential, because it doesn't meet the literal definition of rape in some jurisdictions.

Trump isn't the root cause of the dangers that afflict American society, no one here has claimed he is as you state (another strawman) but to use an analogy, he is the infection that develops in an open wound which makes everything worse and can lead to loss of a limb, or even death.

In the last 7 years or so, we've watched the political discourse space take a nose dive and while massive players like Rupert Murdoch and the likes bear a huge responsibility for this in many ways, Trump cannot be absolved of blame for what he has done. What the UK is experiencing in the same way in their political environment is largely because of Trump lowering the bar so much, Johnson was now able to drag his a*se over it.

And for you to then type the above and blame 'the far left and identify politics' is shameful.

Speaking of Gaetz

We await Chuktan's deliberation, court in session.

Edit, wrong post.

On the balance of probabilities, a jury which had access to the evidence found that he had committed sexual assault.

So your assessment of the situation is more than likely false, just a baseless personal opinion.

As for a 'Depraved' response?

That means: morally corrupt; wicked.

Which clearly and demonstrably more accurately describes Trump's conduct. Yes, Trump is depraved - in his political conduct, and in his personal conduct. Trump is morally corrupt.

You are the one defending a rapist and a racist.

'Something' shady going on?

Again, the 'shady' conduct is by Trump and his stooges.

Your claims have no credibility.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil - that is the summation of your posts about Trump.

Hatred for Trump is to such a high level among parts of the US that it wouldn't surprise me in the least if something shady was at play. I can't prove that to be the case but I think it's more likely than not.

This is the gist of MAGA supporters replies when asked how the election was rigged against Trump. One being interviewed last week said "theres tons of evidence" but when pressed couldn't name one. The blind devotion to a man who no doubt despises these rednecks and would call the police if they tried to enter Mar A Lago.

*justice boner!*

It always struck me as a line of argument likely to fail. As the judge said, everyone has a job. Can't simply postpone trials because it's slightly bad timing.

But of course Trump, entirely innocent and has all the evidence to prove it, could ask for an earlier trial to get it all done in 2023.

He won't, because delaying is his main tactic

This. He announced his campaign after he knew he was caught doing illegal ****.
