Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Felya]

Big surprise, Greene and some other members of the rabid fanbase showed up in Congress without masks.

-- an exact quote twitted with the selfie.

There is a $500 fine involved. One would assume it's per offense.

That’s so depressing, when we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just do it for a few more weeks... that’s all...

FOUND ANOTHER ON!!!!

A Pennsylvania man who illegally voted for Donald Trump on behalf of his long-dead mother in last year’s presidential election was sentenced Friday to five years of probation.

Bruce Bartman, 70, of Marple, pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of perjury and one count of unlawful voting. Besides his probation term, he will not be allowed to vote in an election for four years and is no longer eligible to serve on a jury.

Voted for Trump on behalf of his dead mother and gets five years of probation? Meanwhile, a woman who genuinely didn't know she wasn't allowed to vote cast a ballot in the 2016 election and got 5 years of actual prison - https://news.yahoo.com/black-woman-s...173558169.html

And she didn't even intend to break the law, she made a mistake, unlike this fuckstick who knew he was breaking the law by voting for his dead mother.

Almost like there's some kind of like, I dunno, systemic racism in our legal system.

The St. Louis lawyer who brandished a firearm at Black Lives Matter protesters last year has officially entered the 2022 race for Missouri’s open Senate seat.

Mark McCloskey tweeted he will have “a huge announcement” on Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s show Tuesday evening, but his Senate campaign website went live hours before the appearance.

“Mark has never before run for political office, but he has now answered the call of public duty and is running for the United States Senate from Missouri to fill the seat of retiring Sen. Roy Blunt,” his website says.

Remember MAGA Ken, who rose to fame when he and his wife MAGA Karen got upset that BLACK PEOPLE were marching peacefully on their private street, so decided to brandish weapons and point them at the peaceful protesters?

Apparently that's all you need to gain enough celebrity to be a viable candidate for the Republican party. The Republican party is the party of fuckin brainworms.

Concern Troll Susan Collins has reason to be concerned.

Apparently her campaign doesn't' have any involvement and may be the vitcims in this from what I've been reading. Just weird seeing this happen with Republicans, who I thought were very law-abiding?

Trump Supporters accuse Republicans of feeding ballots to chickens and then incinerating the chickens to destroy the evidence.

I... I'm at a loss for words. Just... Ok. Yeah. Sure. Whatever.

But... why..?

Why even feed it to the chicken, and then burn the chickens?
Let's spare some pointless poultry slaughter and just put flame to paper.

Jokes on them: the ballots were fed to pigs, and the pigs were then atomized by the space lazers.

[Paranoid Android]

Let's hope Trump doesn't get any political interference or just privledge to hinder investigation and prosecution.

And another Trump criminal probe announced. Anyone else this guy would be a defense lawyers dream, but since he never pays, anyone...

That's kinda the point of criminal probes.

Trump Org investigation now a criminal investiation

Indeed this is the case. (Get it?)

Attorney General Letitia James has been investigating whether the Trump Organization falsely reported property values to secure loans and obtain economic and tax benefits.

"We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature," Fabien Levy, a spokesman for the attorney general's office, said in a statement.

"We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA," he said.

James has been investigating whether the Trump Organization inflated the values of some properties to obtain better loans, and lowered their values to obtain property tax breaks.

Separately, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance has been investigating Trump’s pre-presidency business dealings for more than two years.

Vance’s office has said in court filings it was investigating "possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct" at the former president's Trump Organization, including tax and insurance fraud and falsification of business records.

Vance's probe began after Trump's former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen paid hush money to silence two women before the 2016 election about claimed sexual encounters with Trump.

I'm not 100% sure the difference between civil and criminal, but I'm fairly sure this means it's not just the faceless company that is in trouble. Actual human beings could go to jail for Trump and his supporter's favorite crime: fraud.

EDIT: I should add, I don't know how his taxes figure into this. Did the probe expand because of his taxes? Because "I lied and cheated on my taxes for 20 years" would be a pretty good reason to fight like hell to keep them from the public, the law, and the House.

Man, I'm sure Trump is upset. Now there will be a chicken shortage and how will he get his KFC now? Won't anyone think of the 11 herbs and spices.

Trump also demands the House's investigation into the murderous insurrection look into a bunch of unrelated issues.

unless the murders, riots, and fire bombings in Portland, Minneapolis, Seattle, Chicago, and New York are also going to be studied...

As most of us have said and all of us have accepted, Trump and the rabid fanbase are desperate for any investigation into their direct, personal role into inciting a murderous insurrection. Although, at this point, I think it would be 100% fair for Biden to just say "the DoJ will just handle it themselves". I mean, the Department of Justice investigating a massive, organized, terrorist attack on the nation's legistlators makes perfect sense to me. I know the rabid fanbase would call it partisan or revenge or something, but that's exactly what a guilty terrorist would say when they're being investigated for being a terrorist and have no valid excuse.

If Trump is still claiming he won and is a billionaire... why did he take a voluntary 65k pension? Wasn’t he supposed to reject a salary?

Trump has claimed $65,500 in taxpayer-funded presidential pension since leaving White House
