Lucien J. de Calonne that’s your explanation? a repetition of the defendant’s accusation? (“the system is out to get me!!!” They all say that)

You are completely ignoring, the fact that Trump is doing what he ALWAYS does, and attacking his “opponent,” and calling the system unfair when he’s losing.

Because the White House has a policy of being completely hands off, because the DOJ has taken a very strong stand to ensure no politics enter the situation as possible— not even using this situation in their campaigning, even though “OMG Hunter, Biden! ” is all over the Trump side — there is absolutely no hint of evidence whatsoever that the DOJ is acting as a political arm(been weaponized) instead of the justice system holding this man accountable, but here you are, just like all the other Trump supporters — and no, I don’t care if you call yourself a Trump supporter or not, if what you are doing, is repeating his exact meritless stance — hoping people believe it because it’s repeated so often. 

The goal of all these pro Trump “the justice system’s been weaponized” posts is to undermine faith in the system so that Trump gets away with it.

Do you want to try something novel as a Trump supporter? Stop denying you’re a Trump supporter and pretending you “just notice it’s unfair,” and instead post something real that SHOWS that the system truly is “rigged” against him. 

Go on! I dare you. 

Otherwise, you’re just a same-old same-old Trumper.


Darren Newman the investigation started before he announced his candidacy. He did it cause he thought it would save him. So you are automatically above the law if you are running for public office? Isn’t that an example of the “deep state” republicans love to whine about……

trump idolizes Putin and wants to be king. He wants to lock up his enemies just because. Your protection is pathetic.

Funny cause the majority of Americans are democrats and yes we do decide elections. Republicans are the minority and yet they are trying to steal our elections.

A chump huh? Yes a chimp could do better then Trump. Biden had to fox what trump broke. And he’s done a good job.

You’re rants and talking points, as always, are pathetic. Run along now.


Elna Devine trump made a huge issue out of not indicting a sitting president. Imagine that? Ever heard of a president worried about indictments? If you can’t indict while he’s president, the charges should be put on hold until he is no longer president. He can’t be allowed to stay in office to avoid prosecution by running out the statued of limitations. Doesn’t that sound reasonable?

Why do you spend so much energy defending him? If he committed crimes, shouldn’t he be held accountable? Is being president the get out of jail free card? For life?

It’s a very simple question. Should he be held accountable or not? Regardless of what anyone else has done.

If others have committed crimes they too should be subject to the same accountability.

Of course, you can’t indict Biden while he is a sitting president. If there is evidence he committed a crime, when he’s out of office it’s fair game.


Monica Myrick Rouse what election officials did Trump strong arm?

Trump was under no obligation to turn over the documents when asked under the Presidential Records Act. The president whether or not former, has a right to go through the documents to determine what are presidential records and what are not. This is why Trump was in deliberations with NARA. Was there really need to raid Trump’s home with armed FBI SWAT agents? These documents could have been more easily handled through the court system.

Yes, I have read the indictment. There is a lot of charge stacking to give the appearance of nefarious activity.

If you can’t see these indictments as nothing more than to influence the 2024 election, there is no help for you.


Kenn Howe You mean this part?The Disqualification Clause
Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment provides:
No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and VicePresident, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who,
having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or
as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support
the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the
same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.


Jonathan Sanchez lol, sure…Trump lost three cases for bilking people and the government under his own term (Org, foundation, and university), lost over 60 court cases related to his false election fraud claims under his admin and majority GOP appointees, and has been duly investigated under a GOP appointed, Federalist society head of the FBI. Meanwhile, Trump appointed attorneys were kept in their offices to investigate the russia probe (Durham…found bupkiss) and Hunter (nothing involving daddy found, got stiffer penalty than Roger Stone).

The prob here is clearly not that Biden has somehow caused leniency toward his own and retaliation against Trump. If that were the case, all of the decisions mentioned above wouldnt have come from GOP APPOINTEES.

Don’t you get tired of sticking to such a clearly absurd trope instead of admitting the obvious? That Trump is a lying grifter?


Susan D. Brown Which party started a “disinformation” agency to suppress free speech? And golf? You seriously listed golf as a good thing Biden has done for this country?

Doesn’t involve his family in American government? What freaking planet are you living on? Does the name Hunter ring any bells?

And let’s not talk about locking people up. Charges against Trump that were past the statute of limitations were ratcheted up to felonies in order to charge him. Good luck at the appellate level with those charges. Meanwhile this administration delayed just long enough for the statute of limitations to run out on Hunter. So y’all can stop claiming no one is above the law because the whole world can see y’all are liars.


Kenn Howe 1) Never attempted a coup of America 2) Never stole documents, kept them, lied about having them, and then tried to make it look like HE is a victim by not handing them over, and getting charged. 3) Doesn't cozy up to Dictators, and call them geniuses. 4) DESPITE GQP obstruction, is getting laws passed that make HUGE investments in American infrastructure. 5) Doesn't have his family involved in American government. 6) Doesn't cheat at golf every day. all the while lying about how much work he is doing. 7) Doesn't call every single person who disagrees with him a loser, a liar, or some other name, then threaten to lock them up.8) Doesn't have a sexual assaults case against him, which he was found LIABLE for. 9) Biden didnt call Georgia after the election and tell the guy to "find me 11, 000 votes". 10) Isnt actively trying to remove rights form anyone that ISNT a member of the whyt, GQP community.


Why it matters: The alleged cover-up is Bragg's reasoning for charging Trump with 34 felonies, rather than misdemeanors. In order to convict, Bragg will need to prove Trump tried to conceal crimes that he has not been charged with — and that are not actually named in the indictment.

One of those potential crimes — violating federal campaign finance laws — is not in Bragg's power to prosecute as a district attorney.
The unusual legal strategy could pose a significant challenge — and may backfire in spectacular fashion if Trump is acquitted or the judge dismisses the case before it's even brought to trial.


10ºMonica Myrick Rouse Nothing he did is felony worthy. But who cares about the 2020 election, the way this administration has handled it half Americans wish they voted different or not at all. But look at Trumps 1st indictment, on that very day the courts released a January 6th defendant who was already sentenced ( you remember the guy woth the horns? Because of Tucker Carlson release of a portion of the Jan. 6 video.). I want CNN to prove its self show start to finish no editing...but point did you hear about it? No.. Today talk is All About Trump not the IRS testifying about the 10 million the Bidens tried to hide over 20 schell companys they hold to try to hide it..I want facts..This hate news . They hate hate hate everyone who dont believe what they think. In their view im a white supremacists..im a racist.. No Im not Im a grandma of a Biracial family.
