    Has someone tried starting a conspiracy that Donald Trump is fucking dead and this is a clone meant to trick people into voting for a Luciferian Sleeper Agent?

    Per Trump, “great legal experts,” including Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, believed there was no case.

    Today I was absolutely shocked to learn that Sean Hannity and Mark Levin are great legal experts.

    And [the hush money jury] is in about a 95 percent Democrat area,

    Pro tip: if you don’t want to be tried by a jury from a mostly-Democratic area, don’t commit crimes in New York City.

      This dude lived most of his life on Manhattan. He has multiple properties there. Those people know him best and are the best judges of guilt in his trial.

      Pro pro-trip. If you have something to hide don’t run as president. If he just remained a private citizen this wouldn’t be happening to him right now

      Yes, a very scary crisis under this asshat is what truly scares me (and that’s assuming he doesn’t just go for broke on being a dictator day one). I mean, Covid was bad enough, but had a very, very low fatality rate.

      Something like H5N1 would be a total fustercluck of conspiracy theories, narcissism, bad advice, nonsense and carnage under this utterly incompetent dumbass and his grifting accomplices/hangers-on…Americans would pay the price by the millions under such bad “leadership”.

      Thankfully, at least, adults are aiming to do something about it; I hope they don’t slow down in any way, and instead work on this very diligently in the even that donnie does get into office so that we are prepared for just such an event. Of course, the faux/maga/q brainiacs have spread so much antivaxxer nonsense that their actions would likely have a negative effect even when we do have a vaccine and even if donnie is not in office.

      I remember reading that there was a large percentage of Americans that considered the pandemic a “sign from god”. Now I’m no statistician, but I feel like there’s a large overlap between the people who thought that and the people who absolutely would not think it’s a sign negatively related to Trump, and would somehow justify the second one as a warning about those damn deep state liberals.

      Would be pretty hilarious though, if not for the innocent people who would suffer.

        There is a certain segment of society that thinks every natural event is a “sign from (their) god”.

        I do wonder how many of the same people that kept mindlessly repeating phrases like “gain of function! gain of function!” like good little parrots were ALSO saying the pandemic was a “sign from god”, though… 😂

          Wonder about the natural world is nice, but I’ve definitely seen people take it too far. One comment on here talked about how they saw miracles every day. Like they were hungry and found $20 in their jacket pocket. Or they were cold and the sun came out.

          That’s not a miracle. It’s just coincidence. You can’t say that everything is meaningful or nothing is.

      H5N1 is almost certainly going to become a pandemic no matter who wins.

      And the majority GOP House (plus a likely Senate takeover) will do the same exact thing they did in 2019 when COVID hit: Blame foreigners, persecute physicians, peddle phony cures, and deny its even happening all at once.

    Yeah, but like that’s going to stop him taking waaay too close to 50% of the vote to be comfortable.

      It’s not about 50% it’s about swing states and the illegitimate electoral college

            Uh Trump was the one in office. Pretty damn hard rig an election when you’re not in power or position to influence.

          In 1929, Congress passed the Reapportionment Act, loving the House of Representatives at 435. Due to population growth in largely coastal states, and the requirement of at least one Representative per state, the House, which was intended to provide representation proportional to population, instead give a significant amount of power to states with lower population densities, resulting in a tendency towards minority rule in the House. Since the number of Electoral College votes are proportional to a state’s delegation to Congress, this also gives low-population states an outsized influence over the Presidential election, contrary to the intent of the US Constitution.

      Trump is currently 77, at that age life expectancy is about 9-10 years. You could adjust it downward a bit for obesity and perhaps other evidence of poor health, but not by much.

        You’re forgetting that he’s rich (compared to most americans, but as much as what he claims) and former POTUS giving him access to some of the best healthcare in the nation if not the world.

        Just remember that when he contracted covid back in 2020 and was hospitalized, it wasn’t just a vaccine or horse medicine they used to cure him, bit god damn stem cells derived treatment.

    In all honesty, the left trying to maintain the illusion that the economy is doing well because of job numbers makes me further question the authenticity of government statistics. The job market is absolutely horrid right now, and any assertions otherwise really set off my BS detector.

    Slurring his words at a Waukesha, Wisconsin rally, Trump referred to Biden’s “fake infrastrucker, ershure para,”

        One way you know Trump was a lazy piece of shit during his first term is that it didn’t suck the absolute life out of him like it did for Obama, Bush, or Clinton.

        He puts all his energy into campaigning and none of it into governing. Maybe this run up to November really will be what does him in.
