They(most of his supporters) are used to degrading women, getting pissed on by teenage girls, grabbing pussies, sleeping with their daughters and sisters, and getting high on drugs, guns, bullying, and cannot tolerate any woman speaking up for her rights. Of course, they like him coz he’s exactly like them.
I thought the American Constitution is based rather on the British one in dealing with those accused of criminal acts; particularly the vital points of [i]Habeus Corpus[/i], open jury trials and burden of proof on the prosecution.*
Irrespective of the politics of what is anyway a foreign country to me, and irrespective of his political and business c.v., Mr. Trump is a citizen of a country that does not "prove" anyone guilty of criminal offences other than by due charge and trial that establishes the facts beyond all reasonable doubt. (Or by the defendant eventually changing his or her plea to 'guilty'.)
Whatever your personal opinion of his ideology and abilities as a politician and property-speculator; has Donald Trump been charged with criminal acts and brought before a Court of Law that has established his guilt or innocence?
Unless and until then he is in the same position as any other US citizen merely suspected of breaking the law: perhaps a suspect in the legal not "social media" sense, but still innocent.
----- *(These protections are non-existent in many, even Western, democratic European, countries whose judiciaries are based on the "Napoleonic Code". One of the many reasons many Britons wanted to be out of the EU was a fear the [i]bloc[/i] wanted to impose the same Napoleonic system on the UK in the interests of what it calls "Harmonisation".)
You're right. There's enough evidence to make it appear that he has ties, but that's not good enough for the justice system. They are going to keep gathering evidence until they have enough to convict him. And if it's anything like some of the state level cases I've heard of, they'll actually go above and beyond, charging him with numerous charges they expect him to be able to easily defend against, in the hopes that at least one sticks.
@LordShadowfire Yes, I see that; and obviously no-one can be prosecuted without sufficient good evidence.
However, until enough such evidence has been amassed to first press charges then to satisfy a court sufficiently of proven guilt, any suspect is considered innocent in law whatever politicians, opinion-columnists and social-media sites publish.
A judge has already made it difficult to hold a fair trial by having been reported very widely as saying the former President almost certainly broke the law. A judge can opine on general points of law, but should never suggest the outcome of an individual case not yet brought to court.
Stacking up spurious charges like a legal blunderbus, gambling on at least one succeeding, is not good justice either. It has eerie echoes of countries that lack such niceties as open courts and prosecution burden of proof.
Having been a president does not place Donald Trump above the Law. If he is suspected of criminal acts then it is right he is investigated and if he has a case to answer, then he is charged and tried; but in the proper manner, with the whole process openly, entirely fair and above-board. If it is not, the outcome could be very harmful indeed.
What seems to escape many Americans is that their country's febrile domestic politics is reported internationally, and this pre-judging may be as bad for the nation's reputation abroad as it is for justice within the nation.
They [b]don’t[/b] care. Some don’t believe their own eyes and ears, but mostly, they’ve decided that whatever Trump does will somehow benefit them (even with evidence to the contrary) so the ends justify the means. I’m not sure what would have to happen to shake them out of it.
@MarmeeMarch Look, shitstick. The fact that you are [i]constantly[/i] examining [i]everything[/i] I say, trying to claim it's all racist, tells me all I need to know about your mentality. I just said that you don't want them in office. The people Joe appointed. You feel that by appointing people who fall into certain minority categories, it's some kind of war on white people. That's how the so-called white nationalists disguise their racism, and I'm starting to think you've got something to hide yourself, because you sure are obsessed with the color of their skin.
@anythingoes477 I did look after someone told me what a strange sick person you are. This from the guy that thinks people want to see how inadequate he is. I did get a good laugh when I saw how small you are.🤣 You could identify as a woman.🤣
@ron122 You really do have an obsession with guys cocks, don't you? I hope u find a bf soon. You seem to have more issues than Readers Digest does. Maybe if you can find someone whose dick does please you your mouth will more full of that than the comical things you say to me. 😆 🤣 Told ya..not into gays. Stalking wont change my mind.
The kindest way to put it is that they are sheeple... they blindly believe anything they are told by Trump and those like him. These poor sheeple creatures have low intellect and this helps with their believing anything they are told and it means they are unable to understand, let alone assimilate facts.
@LordShadowfire You make me fucking laugh Especially because NOBODY can say what positive things Biden has done in office or in his time as a politition
@pdockal Oh, so we're back to this lie again? How many more times do I have to list it for you motherfuckers? How many more fucking times must I tell you what he's done?
If anyone remembers going to the supermarkets in the 1960s and 1970s, and the idiots in line that would pick up the cheesy publications and read them, standing in everyone’s way, well these and their spawn are Trump supporters.
"Us vs. Them" is more important to some than acting in their own best interest. IMO, his continued support is the result of systematic brainwashing that appeals to the fear and need to blame that some have in their life.
Why has Trump not been sanctioned yet here is proof that he has close ties with Mr Putin
Just a thought since some of the Oligarchs have been sanctioned because they are in a picture with Mr Putin and they were not even holding his hand like Mr Trump is
@redredred I am not doubting that, as do high-end business people meet president's socially. I am pointing out that in some cases being pictured with Mr Putin socially was grounds to get that businessman sanctioned Is Trump not also a businessman?
@Longleggedlady it’s the leader of one country shaking the hand of another leader of a country, like others have said, did Putin invade Ukraine whilst Trump was in the White House? NO, and why, because Trump was a strong leader, and they knew it, A weak America, is not good for the world,
@MartinII The next election isn’t until 2024, but while I don’t vote Republican, there are a couple of Republicans who could win and I might not feel like the sky is falling. Trump is [b]not[/b] one of them.
@cycleman @LordShadowfire I think you’re right. I’ve always thought he had something on Lindsey Graham. I just look at how he’s tried to get dirt on Hillary, and on Tucker Biden. That was not a new m.o. for him.
Let’s see what Americans say, when another 3 months have passed, when inflation bites, interest rates rise, people start to lose their jobs, in turn start to lose their homes, let’s see how much they hate Trump, and love Biden then,
