This. Trump apparently has no ethics or morals to speak of, so why should he quit? He still might win. |
Here is a sample of others who were prosecuted for as little as $3K worth of insurance benefits fraud. All of these were prosecuted as felony falsification of business records, the same charge that Trump made. These are for fraud ranging form $3K to $60K. So Trump's fraud of at least $175K of payments to Stormy Daniels that were documented as legal fees, is nearly 3 times the size of the maximum in the other prosecuted cases. https://www.justsecurity.org/85605/survey-of-past-new-york-felony-prosecutions-for-falsifying-business-records/ |
As an American, I was really embarrassed this week while trying to explain to foreign relatives why in the US you can be a felon and even be in jail and still run for and serve as president. They were incredulous. |
Trump is a reflection of many in our country who share these same values. That is the only plausible reason for his popularity. |
There are a lot of us here, too, who are incredulous. |
Once we vote to keep this convicted felon from our highest office we should pass laws to keep convicted felons from leading our country and the world. |
Agree! Just watch the GOP try to block this! Find a Dem Senator to donate and volunteer with to keep the Senate and expand the majority. It's pretty clear Dems will take the House and think Biden's gonna win. It's the Senate that's a toss-up! |
It's good to know that one of the people vying to lead our country is a convicted felon. Until last week we were unsure whether he would be convicted. |
First former president to be assigned a probation officer. |
And all the lawyers who work for Trump on one of his 4 cases breathes a sigh of relief as they realize that they may finally get paid for work already done on his behalf. It this keeps up, he may actually be able to pay everyone who has done legal work for him. Another couple of weeks of this and he'll even be able to pay for some of the legal expenses he'll incur between now and Labor Day. |
That would be seen as unconstitutional by the "textualists" who also want to return to 1800's laws. |
Jefferson wrote that one should not become attached to a coat that you wore as a child and have since outgrown. It's written in his memorial by the tidal basin. |
Those "values" being rape, fraud, felonies, being a serial liar and con man, and so on. Horrifies me that anyone would want to share and uphold those "values." |
The one thing that trump is really good at is stripping his supporters of any remaining vestiges of decency. |
