As a person of 77 does it ever feel like the world gets better, i just got laid off after years of struggling i was homeless in my early 20's due to insurance companies not taking me because of my epilepsy until the health care act passed then i was able to go back to school and get a min wage job close to homelessness but fighting hard not to fall back and this was my first time not struggling but i'm back to struggling again at 34 and i'm burnt out sicker than before and i am just sorta losing hope that someday i won't have to live in survival mode.

@Timmah200 To President Biden, a real President, he has the most important job in the world. To Trump, the worst president we ever had, he is the most important (idiot) in the world!

By allowing him to ramble, the assistant AG got him relaxed and he literally admitted “everyone” in the company was in charge of making sure there was no fraud. There were a couple of other admissions. That is why the assistant AG didn’t object. It was a brilliant strategy.

It also makes me cringe.

What I want to know is... Have trump's lawyers presented the "I'm rubber, you're glue" defense? We all know Cult 45 has been vaccinated for COVID, but has he had the more important Cootie shot? Obviously, trump has seen England, and he's seen France... which is indisputable proof that he's also seen the judge's underpants. Perhaps, before the judge tells him what his punishment fine will be, he will preface it by saying, "Nanny-Nanny-Boo-Boo, stick your face in doo doo", and conclude his speech with, "You're a liar, liar, and your pants are on fire!"

non police are 100% responsible for following laws, even if we don't understand them. This does go for taxes too.

He can't sue his accountants and he knows it. They would flip on him (them) in a heartbeat.

​@@charlythompson9281That guy just goes from comment to comment saying "not true"' lol

So the one thing I’m unsure about: when they say accountants, they mean the actual auditors or do they mean the bookkeepers. Because accusing your auditors would somehow make sense if you didn’t actually know about the fraud (kind of unlikely) but accusing bookkeepers is just idiotic

Exactly what I thought.

True, but the repercussions for the judge and court staff to throw him in jail for contempt would also be different for Trump vs A Nobody. Trumpkins would resort to violence as a result because they're insane.

@@1paradox True, but they're going to resort to violence no matter what, so we shouldn't let it stop us from holding him accountable for his actions.

@@candacen7779 oh absolutely agreed, I want Trump to face justice, but I do worry for the people he fiercely attacks. At the end of the day, you're right, he just needs to be held accountable. With the power he still wields, I don't know if it's possible.

i mean of course the courts are gonna give him better treatment he was a former president.

I got news for you, though it really shouldn't be news: We never were all that great, from the beginning.

As an Australian I'd assume you are familiar with the name Rupert Murdoch. That is how. Propaganda empire.

As an european watching from the outside as well I feel likewise disturbing vibes of vague nausea with this horror clown show. It has to be pointed out though that the US are not the only country in the world electing fraud and blunt propaganda against their own interests these days. Perhaps a bit more extreme and overtly proud of their ignorance but basically not all that much different than we would be if we grew up with the sad excuse passing for education in the states. The basuc formula is no different though. Simple answers for complex problems and always blaming somone else. The world used to be good and the forces of evil are trying to ruin it for you but I am here to fix everything if you just give me the power to do it. Julius Caesar already knew there are two things people are prone to believe even against common sense and obvious evidence to the contrary. One beeing what they wish to be true and the other that what they are aftraid of to be true. Consequently the narrative of great saviors coming to the rescue against imagined threats for your way of life always sell. Be that gaul barbarians, jewish momeylenders or muslim terrorists doesnt really matter. Hitler was elected in free democratic elections too. We still have Video footage of the man shouting that he was going to bring total war and the rallied crowd cheering for that too.

Bravo, Seth. LMFAO.

Gonna have to make him wait in the car if he keeps up the whining.

The problem is that Nixon was supported on rational grounds - not necessarily *correct*, and often subjective, but the vast majority of his supporters believed arguments about positions, policies, and executive ability. Trump's support, particularly now that he had his chance to make SCOTUS appointments, is nearly all demagogic. It's based on a cult of personality which is largely immune to facts and events. Unfortunately I don't think more coverage of his trials would sway many potential voters. As is often the case in contemporary America, I think 2024's election will come down to turnout, not persuading "independent" voters.

Yep, it’s all about turnout. That is why Republican legislators are making up wacky laws like no passing out water to people in line and signing your middle initial, they want to hamper all voting bc the more people that vote the more they lose.

Maybe that was the way we could have got through to him. Did anyone ever try “Imagine if Ivanka was in a cage? She would be available for campaign appearances or for you to date!” Kids would have been returned by morning tea.

Excellent point

It was almost unbearable during the writers strike and they lost so much material...but trump just keeps on giving...

His writers have been making a lot of mistakes lately though. The bit about a president being able to pardon themselves is just fictitious. The one limitation in the constitution placed on pardon power pertains to a president under impeachment… Even *another* president can’t pardon them if they’re being criminally investigated in that scenario. It’s just batshit to think that a president could pardon *themselves* even though their former VP and incoming replacement can’t pardon *them.*

Their absence left an information void exploited by monied interests to keep Americans dumb.

To be precise, Trump has been found liable for one instance of ongoing fraud, but several other instances remain to be determined.

Liable, not guilty.

Could also be used by men lying about their testes 🙃

no coincidence there, @richardbaldwin1097..... (neither a coincidence are those poll results if you're surveying the usual spots like the panhandle, rural Wisconsin, Arizona, Mitch's Kentucky or the majority of exiled Cubans in Miami...... spot a pattern here?)

the polls were off this time last election as well. polls are useless. only old people ( most who lean R ) are about the only ones who have a landline and still answer unknown numbers. young folks and 50 ish year olds like me, don't answer unknown numbers and don't have landlines. most of us vote D. get out and vote next year and don't worry about polls. votes count, poll answers don't. peace.

@@hollyhackman3701 There's a fundamental disconnect. Our particular society is so much of an oligarchy that the poorest people trust Trump to destroy it that they forgive his personal faults, if it means the end of corporate tyranny.

100% 👍🏻

There are still 6 fraud allegations being tried, they require intent to be proved (so that’s why they weren’t part of the summary judgment). The findings on these claims will also help determine the penalties.

People don't get found guilty in civil trials fyi...it's a different standard of proof which is why defendants can be found "liable".

Even El dopo 🥴doesn't get it.

@karlwithak. Oh, please enlighten us with your vast wisdom concerning the SDNY and the legal system! My source is Glenn Kirschner, former prosecutor for the SDNY, who informed Bryan Tyler Cohen on his show, that he didn't need to use ALLEGED to describe Trump's fraud, as he has already been found guilty (or liable, if you're looking to make it sound better somehow) of fraud in summary judgement. Now, the only thing left is to determine the monetary damages he will have to pay. What part of that statement is wrong, Professor?

Some prosecutor said that Trump might be being as objectionable as possible on the stand in order to provoke the judge so that he can use his comments later to appeal on account of bias. Obviously Trump is as thick as mince but his lawyers might have strategised and advised him to behave that way. Personally I’m not convinced given Trump’s track record for saying the most STUPID thing possible in any given situation. The man is incapable of keeping his idiotic views to himself, however damaging they might prove to be!

Creating his own grounds for appeal. I was mean to the judge so he was biased against me

He has never been held accountable for anything his whole life.

Trump's only using this trial to campaign. He doesn't care about the results -- he knows he's headed to prison UNLESS he can make himself a MAGA martyr and get enough people to think he's a better option than Biden, or to just not vote in 2024.

A very stable genius.

That about sums it up. I can't wrap my head around it either. Maybe those numbers are inflated. It is about Trump, you know, lol!

How could Biden receive 81 million votes when he could never attract more than 100 people to his rallies?

I think it’s more that Biden’s own base is shrinking with disgust at his response to Gaza. Hard to hold your nose and vote for the lesser evil when the lesser evil is aiding a genocide

It depends on who was polled. Polls will show whatever you want them to if you sample the right people. I remember being polled after the 2018 midterms. Haven't been contacted since.

It would be interesting to see the polling technique. Sometimes I'm sure they still call landlines & that explains the demographic they get... But a good poll requires varied demographics, so it depends on the quality of the poll. Also, depends on the number of people polled. They can ask 1000 people and extrapolate from there which is not very representative. I have no idea about the poll cited though.

He's already been found summarily guilty

Trump knows full well that he stands a 100% chance of winning on appeal - he therefore could care less if the idiot judge doesn't like him. He's love, love loving this ridiculous lawsuit - it proves the conspiracy against him!

This one, in contrast, wasted way too much time on tiresome side jokes.

False martyrdom is the only kind of defense they can put on. The trumps are already found guilty and are just working for an appeal and MAGAt sympathy.

That wont work. Republicans would simply drag every possible candidate against them into bs court cases.

You forgot to mention that he was impeached twice, yet his Gunk Of Puke party joins in endorsing all his criminal acts. The crime syndicate is very well organized.

You’re being generous in putting it down to mere ignorance. The conniving scumbag Trumps are only pleading ignorance because they know they’re screwed otherwise. They’re trying to sacrifice their accountants to save themselves, and they’ve clearly planned this ‘defence’ which is why Don Jr and Eric’s testimonies were so similar.

They're not ignorant, they know the rules but they're not used to having to follow them

None of them are ignorant to the fact they are breaking laws, they just conveniently use that excuse after they are caught and being held accountable.

Nu-uh. Trump-supporters have been made believe there is utter chaos and destruction NOW. GQP managed to raise propaganda on a new level, where facts are faked and beliefs are facts.
