I agree that the alleged crime(s) for which charges are being considered are petty. This isn't about failing to report an expense; it seems to be solely about how such expense was categorized.

If a conviction were to occur, the likely outcome would be a fine + court costs.

Trump will scream that he is being persecuted, that the court system is being "weaponized" against him, and will parlay this episode into a massive fundraising endeavor.

Agreed. The white trash that still worship the guy will be up in arms, but that's about it.


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

Almost none of the problems of the last two years would have happened under Trump. Foreign leaders were scared of him. They wouldn't have dared do what they have done.

I probably wouldn't have gotten along with him in school or other situations, but by golly, we need a President that invokes fear in our enemies. Biden enables our enemies, and it's like a classroom when a substitute teacher comes in, a world in chaos.

Neither the grand jury nor the judge are impartial. This is New York City. Not America. They hate Trump. This is what motivates all of them.
So if we were in Wyoming the judge and jury would be impartial?

Trump has a god complex that will not allow him to be careful enough to not get caught. He was bound to make a mistake eventually.

Good points.

Most of the problems of the last two years were set in motion during Trumps time in office. The latest is this bank thing.

At least he referred to himself in that post as the "former" President. (ok, actually "FORMER" since he was screaming in all caps), so I guess that's progress.
Maybe somebody explained to him that by claiming to still be President he'd be ineligible to run for office in 2024 having already served two terms.

He has urged his followers to protest.
Looks like he's trying to incite another mob scene. Despicable!

Two Characteristics Of A Banana Republic:

(1) A banana republic does not have an independent judiciary.

(2) In a banana republic, political opponents are prosecuted without good cause—the machinery of law enforcement does not deliberate over seeking a warrant from an independent judge, whom the head of the government cannot coerce.
Letting things slide is also the trait of a Banana Republic. Sorry you don't like the fact that New York prosecutes white collar crime.

He’s not calling for a happy gathering of positive energy… he’s demanding his people “take back their country”… sounds like he’s rubbing two sticks together to make fire to me…

Please tell me you're trying to be funny or at least stirring the pot. You can't be that dumb.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
