Trump Indicted

Posted By Greg Shaffer

This is NOT about convicting Trump so he cant/wont run for President....The trial will not happen until after the 2024 election anyway. This is about hurting his chances of winning by getting the indictments. Much like the 2 impeachments, the strategy will fail and instead bolster his chances.....too blatantly politically motivated both in appearance and reality.

Basically its a big steaming pile of bovine excrement that is unlikely to result in a conviction on anything.....all smoke and mirrors. Has "distraction" written all over it lol

I only read your last line. I’ll read the rest of this on my summer vacay.

Just to rub alcohol on an open cut..... Hillery's campaign had to pay a fine for the exact same thing regarding the payment for the Russian dossier.....ie listing it as a campaign expense. Guess they couldnt link it to another crime like they have not done with this one either. LOL

Of course it is that as well and also as pointed out already "whataboutism".....A practice regularly engaged in as long as I can remember by practically all members of this forum, particularly the left. LOL....it is however a fair point IMO. Soon as the left here starts calling out Hunter (and others) instead of only those on the right, using a counter point, deflection, whataboutism (pick your poison) your defense of them would be moot....as it is, as usual you are here carrying water for them....no surprises there either.

Tennessee Three, well, actually the Tennessee Two

Just curious....what is it you find sickening about it? Is the implication you are making that it was racially motivated since you brought race into it?

I didn't bring race into it. The woman who wasn't expelled did that.

Yeah, protesting guns is bad, peeing on another members chair if fine. 

I have not read up on it at all..... I was just curious since you thought it relevant enough to mention their race in your post.

If the Democrats pulled this kind of crap,  the Cons would be screaming their heads off and proceeding with another congressional investigation...

Sounds more like they pitched a hissy fit with bullhorns and disrupted the normal business of the house. Protest is one thing, members totally disrupting business is another.....

So in other words they changed the rules and then tried to say he broke them before they were changed.....more smoke and mirrors lol
