Why ? He has no special right to break the law and not be prosecuted for it, irrespective of his Presidential campaign and his obvious attempts to use it to delay and run out the clock.
Someone who’s better with US politics than me (could be anyone really)….
What’s Trumps position on China? We know he’s a lot cosier to/compromised by Russia….but will he will the American military and naval might away from Taiwan?
Because optically it looks like election interference especially when Merrick Garland declined to prosecute him with the J6 insurrectionists, delayed assigning a Special Prosecutor and delayed holding him accountable in the first place. You may argue otherwise, but close to half the population is under the illusion that DJT is donning the crown of martyrdom, ensnared by the machinations of the deep state.
I agree, I’m feeling strangely optimistic in spite of the polls. Might just be wishful thinking but logic tells me time is working in Biden’s favour (apart from that age thing): Better funded campaign i.e. more ads and exposure, more time for the criminal proceedings to unfold, more time for the regular American to feel the effects of an improving economy. Coupled with the fact that Trump has underperformed his polls in the primaries, and that, in times of arguably unprecedented uncertainty, it’s one thing to say you’re going to vote or considering voting for complete chaos and madness, it’s another thing to do it come November.Maybe I'm naive, but I'm finding it increasingly unlikely that Trump will win in November.
The financial problems, the court cases, his crazy ramblings, a less than convincing primary, etc. It all seems a bit much for a candidate to overcome. Meanwhile the economy is doing well on the traditional metrics, which will help Biden. Of course, Biden struggles with the age thing and Gaza, and the electoral system favors Trump, but Biden now has half a year where he can easily outspend him and shift the narrative.
This may have been gone under people's radar, but you have to ask yourselves what is that dumb cnut of a judge even doing here.
Mar-a-Lago Judge’s Stark Ruling: Jury Sees Secret Files or Trump Wins
Since when do commoners have to be allowed to see the contents of classified documents?
69% of American's believe in angels and that guns make them safer. So ......
Most of us view the US as a political basket case, but all we really want is for the most dangerous loon of all to a) get what he deserves (prison) ASAP and b) failing that to stop him making a clusterfeck of the world.
He has a LOT of lawyers because he does a lot of bad shit!How much does a lawyer charge an hour in the states? Let's say 560usd for simplicity, that's 10.000 hours, in a month? Crazy.

This could be an awesome early 2000's action movie plot. Get Nic Cage and blonde Angelina Jolie in on it!

It's just a delay tactic. She knows she'll be over ruled by a higher court but that will add weeks if not months to the trial.

This is how he will likely get the needed liquidity
I think Jack Smith should outright go the Eleventh Circuit and file the motion to kick her out right now. Time is of the essence right here and Trump should be sitting in jail pending trial like anyone else who has been indicted under the Espionage Act.
edit: Good one here.
Sounds like more dodgy rubbish. Paper value and what he can sell his shares for are hopefully very different things.

Further, even if he tried to use the value today to get someone to loan him the funds he needs now in exchange, almost any sensible person will recognise that a year from now those shares will be worth nothing. It's such a clear sham.He won't be able to sell any shares for a year or so.
Major shareholders aren't allowed to sell shares immediately after going public.
His lawyers are smart.If it is true, seems that he will be able to pay. And you can't deny that he is smart, even knowing that is BS, to link that payment to a witch hunt that the judge asked for that quantity to deplete him of funds to be POTUS. It is simple but the MAGAbonkers will lap it up
His lawyers are smart.
Quite.True, or probably their campaign strategists. Had to say IT is smart to do. But yes. they are fecking crafty
Can't wait for this guy to be a mere mention in the "celebrity deaths" thread.
Secret Service or FBI if you're reading this: no that doesn't mean I am planning something. But by God is this man a stain on civilization.
He is smart? Seems to me that if were smart he wouldn't owe over half a billion dollars and be facing 88 criminal charges.If it is true, seems that he will be able to pay.

Right.....
So a so called multi-billionaire (according to himself) can't afford to pay fines, and is now openly fecking admitting he can't whilst at the same time owning up that he thinks it's ok to use campaign funds for the fines.
He's then accusing the Prosecuting DA of wanting to take his campaign funds and not his own money... Of course, of which he doesn't have much, and even if he does, it's clear he won't pay and instead will dip in to the campaign funds instead.....
And yet people still believe he's a genius, a billionaire, innocent, and not dodgy at all..
He's the Presidential equivalent of a televangelist.
Please. PLEASE! Make it stop.
