Serious question: How is doing something that will only further divide our country "a great day for America?"
First and foremost it acts as a reminder that nobody is above the law. Got a problem with that?
Oh, really? So is your claim here that Donald Trump (since he's the first President to ever be charged with a crime) is the only past President to ever commit a crime? Because that's basically what you're suggesting.
So your claim here is others have committed crimes and gotten away with them so Trump should too. Because that's basically what you're suggesting.

Yes. For the good of the country.

Biden should preemptively pardon him.

I will say this as well: Had he lost to Hillary in 2016, this investigation would never have taken place. That fact in and of itself makes this a political prosecution.
Hillary has to be the most pathetic loser in American history, right?


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

What I'm saying is Trump is the only President that has been impeached twice and under indictment once (so far) With any luck this indictment will prompt Letitia James as well as the great state of Georgia pursue their own cases against Trump. Save your misdirection, the scoreboard has already been recorded. Done deal.

You know what else makes this a great day for America? It's that is all the Trump slappy's can now be ignored without prejudice. You guys might as well be talking to a fence post from here on out...

Should he pardon him for the Georgia indictment he's gonna get too? What about the January sixth indictment?

Save YOUR misdirection. That's not what you said. You said that this indictment proves that nobody (and you emphasized the word nobody) is above the law. And I'm saying that that claim is utter BS because if correct, then every high-profile politician who ever committed so much as a misdemeanor would have been prosecuted.

If such indictments come, then yes and yes.

I hope you're ready for Trump as President in 2024. I don't think Democrats are. And I think they'll revolt if and when he wins, tearing down the country in the process.

:rollin Because he was so successful in 2020? And how his chosen candidates did so well in 2022?

Not the whole country is as bat shit crazy as you and the majority of the Republican party is. Independents know what a horrific, hate America, crooked, slimy, narcissistic, pile of garbage this man is, and will NEVER vote him back in to the White House.

LA TIMES

Now voters know better.

After all the venomous tweets, the incessant lying, bigotry, narcissism and nepotism, the headstrong mismanagement of a deadly pandemic, after two impeachments and, most egregious, the attempted coup he suborned in the service of a lie he continues to promote, there is no doubting the nature of Trump.

Or what his return to the White House would mean.

Chaos envelops Trump like a bomb cyclone. Controversy trails him like the whiff off a cesspool. He warned of “potential death & destruction” if he were criminally charged, displaying once more his recklessness and titanic ego. The news of indictment is a dramatic reminder, if one was needed, of the former president’s essential mendacity and moral bankruptcy.

Polls show most Americans have tired of Trump, his wreckage and ruin.

Not those Fifth Avenue Republicans who constitute roughly a third of GOP voters, enough to boost Trump in the primary and make him the candidate to beat for the party’s nomination. (Trump’s famous statement that he could stand in the middle of Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and not lose support now seems less a boast than a matter of fact.)

Those die-hards are the ones that pandering Republicans, like House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, seek to appease with their claims of Trump’s political persecution and victimhood. Lawmakers representing areas like McCarthy’s deep-red Bakersfield district have only that narrow slice of voters to consider.

But it’s hard to see Trump gaining support beyond his base for being indicted in a sordid case involving hush money and extramarital sex, whatever the outcome of the legal process.

And the notion that Trump’s indictment edges him closer to the White House by firing up supporters seems equally far-fetched; it’s not as though the blindly faithful get to cast three or four extra votes for their flimflam messiah. (Despite the lies they might have swallowed about the corruptibility of our election system.)


Trump’s repellent effect on swing voters and non-MAGA Republicans — especially women living in the nation’s abundant suburbs — has been well proved. It cost Republicans in 2018, when they lost control of the House; in 2020, when Joe Biden won the presidency; and in 2022, when the GOP, despite enormous advantages, failed to win a Senate majority and just barely reclaimed the House.

Christine Matthews, a Republican pollster and no fan of the ex-president, has conducted extensive research over the last several months among GOP primary voters, including some who supported Trump in 2016 and 2020.

“They’re just tired of the circus,” Matthews said.

They may think the many criminal investigations of Trump are “unfair to him,” she went on. “They may think it’s politically motivated. But the fact is the circus continues.”

Perhaps most significant, something else has changed since Trump first browbeat his way to the White House and into the hearts of Republicans: He’s now a certifiable, repeat loser.

“They want to win and they want to beat Biden,” Matthews said of many of those she’s surveyed. “They don’t think Trump can do it.”

It’s easy, amid all the petulance and political machinations, to forget the essentials of the case against the former chief executive.

In 2006, Trump is alleged to have had an extramarital affair with the X-rated actor Stormy Daniels. Ten years later, his presidential bid was on the brink of collapse after the public release of a tape in which Trump is heard bragging of sexually mauling women.

His attorney and fixer at the time, Michael Cohen, took out a home equity loan and paid Daniels $130,000 to keep her mouth shut. Once in the White House, Trump signed checks reimbursing Cohen. The payments were listed as “legal expenses.”

It may be a stretch to hold Trump legally accountable, given the shaky foundation on which the New York case rests.

But the court of public opinion is something else, and the case against Trump is open and shut. The closest he should ever come again to the Oval Office is the chair he used as president and brought with him to Mar-a-Lago.


Best to lock him up in his resort compound and pitch the key into the Atlantic Ocean.

I'm ready for Trump to dig his hole deeper when he ignores the advice that "Any thing you say can and will be used against you in a court of law" and starts shooting his mouth off about the case. You just know that's gonna' happen.

Trump is going to be THE news of the day, EVERY day, for the foreseeable future. Is that really what you all want?

We will see how far those goes, like Nixon and others, I get the feeling he will just walk away scott free. Maybe I'm wrong and if I am, I am but this is still pretty interesting. The left side won't be happy until he's tied down to a round board with some throwing Axe's at him, the right side will deny everything and anything is even wrong. Let Civil war 2 begin.

That he was arrested criminally for misrepresenting the nature of his expenditure paying off a porn star? I'll take that every day of the week.
