Trump obstructing justice. Trump paid by foreign governments. Trump not paying his taxes. Trump not showing up for the inauguration of Biden. Trump stealing government documents as he leaves DC then lying for years about stealing them.
Almost forgot: Trump spent his last months in office changing the votes of the Electoral College but some disloyal members of his government changed them back to what the votes originally were.

The Wheels Of Justice Turn Slowly . . .
By Andrew Tobias On August 17, 2023
. . . and desperately need to be reformed (if you ask me).
An enforceable code of ethics for the Supreme Court for obvious starters, but it’s way more than that.
Six years ago, a woman walking in Central Park was almost killed a falling tree. A settlement — $5.5 million — was reached last month, and it cost her $1 million in legal fees to reach it. (The defendants doubtless had big legal fees, as well.) Is this really the best system for settling such cases? Six years?
In 1996, I put Prop 202 on the California ballot to encourage “early settlements.” It was endorsed by the business community and conservatives like Robert Bork; but also by two former deans of Harvard Law School, Derek Bok and Erwin Griswold, former ACLU President Norman Dorsen, and even a former president of the American College of Trial Lawyers, Leon Silverman.
It came really close — 48.79% of the vote!
I called California’s then-Secretary of State, Bill Jones.
“All I need,” I told him over and over for an hour, “is for you to find . . .”
No, wait; wrong fantasy. I didn’t call him; I admitted defeat.
But I still believe something like Prop 202 makes sense — a way to give both sides an incentive to settle more quickly.
I just finished listening to Big Sugar, a riveting nine-part podcast about a 15-year legal battle that the plaintiffs quickly won — $51 million — but that Big Sugar ultimately won. If you listen, I doubt you’ll think justice was done. (Interesting sidenote: the same scientists paid to say there’s no link between sugar and diabetes morphed into the scientists who found no linkage between smoking and cancer or fossil fuels and climate change. But I digress.)
It reminded me of ParkerVision’s 13-year battle with Qualcomm, where a jury awarded PRKR $173 million in 2011, but where, so far, the company has received nothing. And may well never.
It reminded me also of its recent suit against Intel, where a jury could well have awarded more than $250 million — which the judge could then have trebled — but where, for reasons hard to fathom, the jury was not given a chance to hear the case. Instead, the judge more or less forced ParkerVision to settle for $25 million.
Maybe 20 years from now there will be a podcast about that one.
(I still have a huge number of shares, and there’s some possibility of upside from today’s dime a share — hey, 20 cents would be a double! A buck someday would be a home run! But I’m no longer holding my breath. The justice system crushed us.)
The big frustration, though, 10 billion times as important as ParkerVision, is how hard it has been, first, to impeach Trump — don’t read the Mueller report or credit the view of more than 1,000 former Republican and Democratic prosecutors, just take his word for it — and, now, how hard it’s been to pursue the indictments.
We all watched him urge his followers to come to DC — “it will be wild” — and exhort them to march to the Capitol and “fight like hell,” knowing many were armed . . . we all watched them storm the Capitol . . . he watched them storm the Capitol . . . for 187 minutes before he reluctantly called them off . . . we have all heard his call to Georgia’s secretary of state.
Why does it take years and years to investigate and adjudicate?
Why not quick justice for the really obvious pieces and then a succession of “superseding indictments” as the full scope of the conspiracy becomes better and better known?
I’m not an expert, but I can’t believe this is the best we can do.
Grrrrrr.

Oh dears! Another SECOND counterfactual "fact"!

During the first part of a president's term, they operate under the previous president's budget.
The best way to measure debt by president is to add their budget deficits and compare it to the debt level when they took office.
Five presidents who contributed the most, percentage-wise, to the national debt are Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.

Quote:And Biden keeps telling us how he wa an 18-wheeler trucker and that his son was killed in Iraq. or how Hillary landed "under fire".
Trump on TV 24/7 yammering about himself and how smart he is. Stable Genius TV.
Quote:When?
Trump obstructing justice.
Quote:Which? I know HILLARY was paid by Russia (directly, uranium deal), and Saudi Arabia and Ukraine (to her foundation). I know BIDEN was paid by Ukraine, China, and Kazakhstan (indirectly thru shell companies to family members) So, which foreign governments paid Trump?
Trump paid by foreign governments.
Quote:So you keep yammering on. IRS has not said so, and if anyone should know, it's them.
Trump not paying his taxes.
Quote:BFD
Trump not showing up for the inauguration of Biden.
Quote:Those documents BELONG TO THE PRESIDENT. Even the Presidential archive has to negotiate with outgoing Presidents which documents he chooses to turn over, and which he chooses to keep. That's your TDS showing. Again.
Trump stealing government documents as he leaves DC then lying for years about stealing them.
Quote:Baloney.
Almost forgot: Trump spent his last months in office changing the votes of the Electoral College but some disloyal members of his government changed them back to what the votes originally were.
Did Trump get us into a multi-billion economy-sucking war that threatens to turn into WWIII... or, alternately, dismember NATO?
Did Trump open the southern border to tens of millions of illegal aliens?
Did Trump mastermind a coordinated WH/ security state/DOJ/ media attack on his politsl rivals, smearing them in the press with egregiously false accusations?
Did Trump take a knee to rioters, or promote defunding the police?
Stop focusing on blather SECOND, and distance yourself from your TDS. Yanno, get a sense of perspective.
If the DNC can't put up any better candidates than Biden*, Harris, or Hillary they deserve to go down up flames.

Quote:Those other people you mention in your "but-what-about-defense" of Trump did not break the law, at least according to any grand jury.

On the other hand, Trump is in trouble with the law because he breaks it. Grand juries indict him for what he did.
Trump's national deficits are not measured percentage-wise, but in absolute dollars, not adjusted for inflation. He promised he would not only have a zero deficit but would pay off the national debt. That could never happen because he lowered taxes for himself and the IRS stopped collecting taxes from the wealthy, in particular, from Trump. You can see his tax returns. He demands multi-million dollar funds for several years. The IRS, as far as anybody but Trump knows, refuses to pay him and he refuses to pay what he actually owes. It is a very silly system of "collecting" taxes where nothing gets collected.
While we are talking about national debts, the US spent more than $10 trillion on nukes to reassure Republican congressmen that the US could destroy Russia if it nuked the US, which Russia has threatened to do thousands of times over many decades, but Signym denied that happened. And Ukraine fights Russia because Russia killed 60 million of its own people, despite Signym and Russians denying that happened. If you include Ukrainians in the total, Russia killed 4 million of them. That is a strong motivation for Ukrainians to fight on. Per usual, Signym denied the murders even happened.
Trump and Russia are in trouble with the law because both break the law, even if Signym and 6ix deny that laws were broken.

Trump is not in any trouble. Trump will be fine.
He will also be your next President.

Quote:Trump pays a million dollars per week to his lawyers because he is in trouble. Were he innocent, two mediocre lawyers paid $500/hour would be more than enough to defend him with their highly persuasive summation that any jury would happily believe and vote for Trump's acquittal after only a hour of deliberation. Trump would want to go on trial immediately. But Trump needs dozens of lawyers to bamboozle the jury because he knows he is guilty. He is trying to delay the trials.

It would be an excellent change of pace if the USA followed the example of other countries. It would also be fine if Trump paid all of his taxes for once in his life. About $1 trillion in taxes is not collected each year which makes tax cheating by the wealthy a common occurrence. Some of that cheating is Trump setting a bad example for others. 'If the President can cheat, so can I' would be their justification.

Quote:. SECIND, you're as screwed up about America and Trump as you are about Russia and Ukraine.
SECOND: That old phrase "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" does not apply to Presidents. They are guilty until they prove themselves innocent.
