Why is Trump's bail not being revoked?

He committed crimes against the people of Springfield, Ohio.

The Right is Desperately Trying to Prove The Assassination Suspect was Liberal

They tried to do this with the last one as well.

Why?

Because they are all about using Violence to get their way politically.

Only one side keeps threatening civil war if the election results don’t go their way.
Only one side tried to overthrow the government
Only one side’s “very fine people” started riots that lead to a woman’s death in Charlottesville
Only one side shoots a doctor at his church for performing abortions
Only one side bombs women’s health clinics
Only one side is against any kind of common sense gun regulation
Only one side refuses to accept basic facts about the past election, Covid, vaccines, climate change, you name it
Only one side is desperate to try to make the left as bad as they are.

I think Trump is going to run from justice before the election

After the devastating debate, Trump has been touting polls he’s paid for saying he’s winning with 80-90% of the vote. His rhetoric on this has dominated since the debate. These polls he is citing are polls he paid for. Why is he paying for polls and not to get re-elected? Meidas Touch had an explanation for this: he is setting up the election was rigged talking point. In other words, Trump knows he is going to lose so he is paying for polls that show he is winning by ridiculously huge margins so he (and politicians who still support him) can challenge the election and foment violence from their supporters.

With that in mind, now consider that Sept. 19th will be the first possible date that Trump can sell his 120 million shares in DJT (currently valued around $1.5 billion), as long as they remain above $12 / share. This stock has resisted dropping below $15/share and it is not normal resistance as the short positions against it are accelerating. When Trump starts selling, the share price will inevitably start dropping, and it is unlikely he will be able to cash in all 120 million shares before it hits $12 unless he gets a contractual buyer with a fixed price. Let’s say that happens.

Meanwhile, he just announced his latest grift of a digital currency. Do you think his fans are going to continue to dump money into this? Are they going to sell their shares of DJT at a loss to buy his coin? Doubtful. He’s setting this up as a money laundering device that can’t be regulated by the US like his DJT shares are.

Trump now has far more wealth than he ever has (he’s never really been a billionaire). He knows he can’t win the election. He is facing several criminal cases as well as sentencing (he will get time from the Hush Money case; if you want to know why, watch ?si=-9_ZxZQe94QNhcro" target="_blank">this). There is no way this guy is sticking around to watch the loss. I suspect he will “go on vacation” in October and then when he loses the election on Nov. 5, he will tell his supporters he is living in exile in Russia until he can be restored to power, telling his supporters the only way that can happen is if they engage in insurrection against the US. And Russia will fund these idiots with the digital currency launched by Trump.

Proud to be a Democrat tonight. Thank you, Vice President Harris

You are an amazing human being.

I respect how difficult that was.

Five years ago, I supported Sen. Warren. I was told by several liberal women that the US is not ready for a woman to be President. I was dismayed and asked why. Nearly all of them educated me to the discrimination and bias that woman face on a day-to-day basis. I was floored by this. I felt ignorant and out of touch.

Thankfully, the world is different today. I watched the debate tonight with several friends, all male, that I have known since childhood. I shared my experience I just described above. They all agreed, America is far past ready for Kamala Harris to be President. We celebrated as we watched how she expertly handled the traitor. He was off the rails, full of lies, and reduced to an angry old man selling some really old shit. The only baby being murdered after birth was a 78 year old tired orange man who can’t do anything but blame other people for his own failures.

Vice President Harris WILL be the next President of the United States.

"Will you just shut up, man?!"

This, IMHO, won the debate in the 2020 election. It was as if you could hear a collective cheer go up through the nation when Biden said it. I know my reaction was akin to “hell yeah” but with a little bit more profane choice of words. Why am I bringing this up? I believe America is tired of Trump and his b.s. He is a stench. This is why I am not worried about the debate tonight. First the mics are muted when the candidate isn’t answering a question. That probably helps Trump though. On the other hand, Harris is articulate and has the facts in the front of her mind. She is as good as Pete on Fox “News”. She will answer the questions with meaning, empathy but most importantly articulately with facts. Trump is going to be Trump. And people are damn tired of it. I fully expect Harris to call that out.

Trump fatigue is real.

Let’s hope Trump does so poorly there are no more debates.

I’m ready for tonight.

Don the Con is still Convicted

Even if the sentencing is moved past the election, so is the possibility of overturning the conviction.

Don remains a convicted Con until the election.

Harris's two word response to Trump's weird all caps rant...

“Rent free”



From: https://www.rawstory.com/kamala-harris-2669094390/

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign team hit Donald Trump with just two words after the former president railed against the 2024 Democratic nominee — unprovoked — in his latest all-caps Truth Social post.

"IT'S ALWAYS FAKE WITH KAMALA," the MAGA hopeful wrote Wednesday. "WE'RE DOMINATING HER ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SO SHE MAKES UP A FAKE LIST OF HER NUMBERS VERSUS MY NUMBERS. ALL OF OUR ENGAGEMENT IS REAL AND ORGANIC, WHILE KAMALA HAS TO PAY FOR HER FAKE ENGAGEMENT. WE'RE BEATING HER 'LIKE A DRUM', LIKE WE WILL BEAT HER ON NOVEMBER 5TH. IT'S ALL FAKE, IT'S ALL MISINFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION. WE ARE DESTROYING THE DEMOCRATS ON SOCIAL MEDIA!"

I think Ohio might be in play because of Walz

I grew up in Ohio and served in the military. I worked horse and dairy farms growing up in rural farms and my father was a West Virginia hillbilly who sought a better life in the military and then the auto industry after serving 28 years in the Air Force and National Guard, much like Walz. His message and character resonate with me. When I first ready JD Vance’s book, I knew it was trash when all my friends said it was about someone like me (I eventually went into tech and now in cybersecurity for more than 15 years). Why was Vance’s story trash? Because he basically missed all the key points that most people in Appalachia have to deal with. It’s not addiction by the way… it’s extreme corporate greed by mine owners who don’t give a damn for the workers. My Uncle, who owned three mines, was good to his men and worked along side of them. I made beer runs with him on Fridays to bring his workers “happy hour” and he held a bbq every week for them. He made sure they all were taken care of and gave them good pay and benefits. Vance’s book reads like Munchausen by proxy the way he throws his mom under the bus. I hated it.

Anyway, I can tell Walz’s story is authentic and he is the real deal. A common man for the people who not only understands the common man’s plight, but appreciates the people and has walked the walk.

I am so excited for this and I can honestly say I have not been this excited for a ticket in my life. Obama was greatness. This ticket has legendary potential. I just maxed our contributions for the general and am planning down ticket donations. Lets. Fucking. gooooooooooo!

Trump is actually right!

His supporters won’t have to vote for him again.

Because he will be behind bars and about to be convicted of many more crimes within the first three months of President Harris’s term.
