Live Thread: Trump's hush money trial begins in NYC

[Right_in_Virginia]

"Current and former world leaders are making their way to Trump Tower each week the President is being held prisoner in NYC for the Democrat’s show trial. Here’s the former PM of Japan. Last week it was the President of Poland." (Video)

The Prosecution is on their first witness, I need a little more information before I declare Trump to be a crook.

My contention is not as much a legal one, but just more proof and an example of where back in '16 Trump's sleazy dirty politics was taken to new lows.  He crossed lines, and to this day, not only are we not holding him account to it, but instead are rewarding him with his 3rd consecutive GOP nomination.

His only slight out was that the Stone-Pecker slime machine though obviously funded by DJT, at least had a rogue element to it.  But hearing today, it seems the orange menace might have had a more direct and intricate hand in it.   We've had some fine conservatives taken to near ruination (RDS, Cruz) by this POS' antics.

I think he needs to pay.

Totally agree.

In short, purposely telling lies to destroy someone is evil. I want nothing to do with those sorts of people. I will not vote for them, I will not associate with them. They are toxic.

I would first have to know of a crime that was committed.  So far, nada.

I agree 100%.  There has been zero remorse.  Zero admission.  Zero apology.  Not only from Trump, but from his zealots as well as evidenced on this very thread.  But this trial isn't the arena for settling the score.  One does not excuse the other.  The ends do not justify the means.

I hope Trump is found not guilty, not because I'm an #AlwaysTrumper, but because he is not guilty of what he is being prosecuted for.  As for him paying, the only ones who will be paying are Conservatives who will be saddled with four more years of Democrat-lite and another $8 trillion of new debt.

@Right_in_Virginia

Where is the example of 'virtue signaling'?  Please show the exact quote.  Or is this yet another example of you posting the first dishonest thing that pops up in your head?

I fully agree with that too.

The entire post was a "virtue signal".  Use the word "I" three times in succession.

I stand corrected.  Thanks.  And an apology to @Right_in_Virginia .  Somehow, I missed it.  My mind was tracking something else.

BIG YUP. And certainly not rewarded.

Unless of course, it's actual virtue.

[240B]

Well, regardless of the bogus charges, or the bogus judge, or the bogus jurors, I HOPE TRUMP IS EXECUTED THEN BURNED AT THE STAKE THEN TORTURED! AND THEN FED TO PIGS! TRUMP IS SATAN ON EARTH! F**K THE 'LAW'! F**K THE CONSTITUTION! F**K NORMAL HUMAN CONSCIENCE!

BURN THE WITCH!!!

Did you dress her up like that?

Says the man who defends lying to destroy people.

And the irony of you accusing me of "whatever it takes" to take someone down is doing exactly that.

LOL!  All I did in my post was to point out the "virtue signal" questioned. 

And that's the the end of the discussion @DB

'Virtue signal' is a typical liberal bullshit term used as a foil against any moral position. Pay it no mind.

Where I come from you have to draw hard lines.
