LIVE THREAD BREAKING...Trump Indicted

[sneakypete]

Ditto

@LMAO   @Weird Tolkienish Figure

Personally,I am a little surprised both of you haven't started pushing the "Jeb Bush" train down the tracks. He's more your style,although not having mama Bush to tell him what to say,think,and do has kinda handicapped him.

[sneakypete]

Was last night a fraudulent election in Wisconsin? We lost by like 11 points.

@Weird Tolkienish Figure

When was the last time,IF  EVER,that Wisconsin elected a conservative candidate?

[bigheadfred]

I just have to shake my head of what the voters in Chicago just did

Talk about going from the frying pan straight into the fire

.

More like what the voters didn't  do. There was only a 33% turnout.

[sneakypete]

Pay closer attention -- DeSantis had to fight a fraudulent election and eventually won by less than 1% to a crack head who eventually got into legal drama shortly after.

@libertybele

That is so absurd that if you tried to tell it to someone who didn't know it actually  happened,they wouldn't believe you.

[LMAO]

@Weird Tolkienish Figure

When was the last time,IF  EVER,that Wisconsin elected a conservative candidate?

Wisconsin went for Reagan twice. Elected Scott Walker. Maybe not always a conservative candidate. Wisconsin has voted for Republicans.

And did you know that Wisconsin went to Trump in 2016?

[sneakypete]

This is an old unproven story that is being trotted out once again by Bragg. The filing lists previous allegations that American Media paid former Trump Tower doorman Dino Sajudin $30,000 after he claimed to know of an affair between Trump and an unnamed woman which led to the birth of an illegitimate child out of wedlock.

 

@mystery-ak

30 grand might be a lot of money to thee,me,and the doorman,but Trump probably thought it was cheaper to pay the doorman the 30 grand  than it would be to fight it in  court.

Not to mention all the lost time he would have spend it court,which would have obviously cost him more than 30 grand.

Sometimes reality just sucks.

[sneakypete]

Thank you for this RiV. Had no idea about this.

Maybe they could change the constitution in WI to end the election of Supreme Court justices? Ours are appointed on a federal level for a reason.

@Weird Tolkienish Figure

I didn't even know that  was possible.

Nor did I know that there were so many elected Republican officials in Wisconsin.

[sneakypete]

I am all for election integrity. People have to have faith that the winner of the election is the true winner, and folks are losing faith in our elections in this country.

But what we see happening is whatever side loses, they claim they were robbed in someway.

This has been going on since 2000

@LMAO You misspelled "forever".

[Right_in_Virginia]

I was wondering where she was..

 Melania M.I.A. Former first lady nowhere to be found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago speech

“I have a great family and they’ve done a fantastic job and we appreciate it very much. They’ve gone through a lot,” the 76-year-old told around 400 supporters at his Palm Beach, Fla., residence and club.

“I have a son here [Don Jr.] who has done a great job, another son here [Eric] who has done a great job, and Ivanka,” added Trump, referring to three of his four adult children.

“And Barron will be great someday,” the former president went on, shouting out his teenage son with third wife Melania. “He is tall and he is smart.”

The former first lady was not singled out for praise.

FWIW @mystery-ak Trump was talking about how well run his companies are and thanked his children for working so hard making this happen.  I was more surprised that he thanked Tiffany than not mentioning Melania in this context.   

They're fine .... on their way to dinner a couple of nights ago:

[sneakypete]

For most Americans, the game is over when the game clock runs down to 0.  When a person plays a sport, when the game is over, the game is over.  The winner is the winner.  The loser is the loser.  If it's a tie, neither team is happy.

For lawyers, the game never ends.  If they loose they can appeal.  If they don't like what the judge or the opposition is doing, they can file motions.  If they lose the appeal, they can appeal to an even higher court.  If they lose their appeals, they can appeal on different grounds.  There is no game clock.

As a nation, we are no longer a nation of athletic participants who are trained to accept loss with grace, and work twice as hard to win the next match.  We are a nation of lawyers who do not accept defeat and move on.  We keep re-arguing the previous contest.  There is no acceptance and moving on.  We stay stuck in a moment and don't move forward.

@DefiantMassRINO

Sure it does. Shut off the money flowing into their coffers,and  the  "game" shuts down instantly.

[Hoodat]

Was it election fraud that was responsible for the election and reelection success of Kemp

Yes

@LMAO

Voters do what they always do,vote in their own selfish self-interest.

Ok,that is an exaggeration. Probably no  more than 80 percent do that.

Still,that makes it a steep hill for "rational" to climb.

Agree. @sneakypete   Every wealthy, public person has a Nuisance Lawsuit Account.   Except, of course, members of Congress ----- they have unconditional access to our wallets.

I admit to being  wrong about this after another poster wrote that the Republicans were on the move in Wis.

I just learned last night that @JusticeDanKelly thought he could win without Trump’s support in the great state of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin is my home state and Trump is beloved by the people.

Foolish that Dan didn’t want Trump’s help — guess we know why he lost now.

Maybe the Stormy Daniels episode still has her a bit pissed.  Her lack of being there may imply the Donald did indeed have an affair.

Or, she had nothing to wear with her "I really don't care, do u?" jacket.

@DC_Draino

Daniel Kelly was a Scott Walker appointee

Both are GOP establishment

Daniel Kelly has now lost 2 races for Supreme Court, both times by 10 points

Ron Johnson just won a Senate seat running on a platform MAGA

We know the recipe for WI

It’s MAGA

They just need MAGA candidates

Yet,  he lost with Trump’s endorsement in 2020

[Lando Lincoln]

Bullshit, we have done nothing but lose with Trump, repeatedly. I'm tired of it, personally.

An anecdotal point... In the non-partisan Green Bay mayoral race the conservative challenger, Chad Weininger, was labeled a MAGA conservative in all the TV and radio spots.  Of course, he lost.

One of the commercials in the supreme court race did have Trump’s endorsement of Kelly from 2020 as part of the commercial. And in the background there was a scene from January 6 basically implying that Judge Kelly was there

Unfair? Yes, But  it worked.

[Bigun]

Truth be told, I haven't the time or the inclination to follow every race in the fifty states. I rely on others to bring contests to the forefront for debate and assistance.

I also think the dismantling of the rule of law and the codification of election interference from ever corner of our Republic is a critical issue ---- much, much more than a distraction or nonsense.  But, I also understand that others just want it back under the rug,.   

Ditto! Especially the part I highlighted.  Without an honest rule of law NOTHING else matters. We are missing that currently.

Yes, he was referring to his children, and I didn't really even miss his mention of Melania but I too was surprised by his mention of Tiffany...perhaps her moral support. (Her new husband has very deep pockets and connections as well).

[libertybele]

Ditto! Especially the part I highlighted.  Without an honest rule of law NOTHING else matters. We are missing that currently.

I second that Ditto!!
