This scheme cooked up by these men...could very well be what got Pres. Trump

[senseandsensibility]

elected. Steinglass just went there. Really breaking it down for the jury so that they can see the election interference component. I am glad he went there, because this is the bottom line and what raises it to a felony.

I also like his line about if you want to know what's going on in the gutter, you have to talk to the rats. Brilliant.

[magicarpet]

1. Oh jeez,..

Shitler must be shitting orange bricks.

[Irish_Dem]

3. Can't wait to see what he posts this evening.

Should be a scorcher.

[magicarpet]

5. Shitler will be fuming, farting, and flame throwing,...

..... incoherently more than usual because the closing arguments trashed him out hard.

His fear of a guilty verdict must be triggering his incontinence really bad. Every step he takes he probably deposits a little surprise in his adult diapers. Unable to hold it back until he locates a restroom. Just imagine the stench being within his proximity.

But 40% of America thinks this man is of presidential timber ? Can you believe it ?

[DENVERPOPS]

19. We must be careful about riding him constantly

Him getting upset continually could cause his blood pressure to climb........

[LiberalFighter]

44. He has blood?

[Attilatheblond]

45. OK, his 'venom' pressure probably more accurate? n/t

[Irish_Dem]

2. Trump cheated to get into the White House. It was not an honest win.

[senseandsensibility]

4. Yup

Cheato cheated!

[magicarpet]

6. You win the daily door prize.

Do you mind the no name brand ?

[senseandsensibility]

8. Don't even like the name brand

so I'll have to respectfully decline!

[multigraincracker]

10. Yum and all natural.

[magicarpet]

14. Mostly air - puffs...

But boy ain't it pricey.

Nutrition(?) does not come cheap.

Just found the Cheeto Make up Influencer.

This must be where trDUMP gets his Orange pan cake make up.

[Celerity]

11. Your pic

[magicarpet]

15. Oh,.. thank you.

Yes,.. my link was a monster link. It went on and on for almost five pages until it finally hit the end of my Cheeto link.

[Marcuse]

41. Truth Social??

[ShazzieB]

24. Of course he cheated! 😁

He always cheats, and he assumes everyone else cheats. To him, it's not even in question; that's just the way things are done.

And since (he believes) everyone else is always cheating, there's no reason for him not to cheat, too!

[The Roux Comes First]

33. What an F'd-up Way to Pretend to Have a Life!

It seems like it would make it almost impossible to have any sort of normal relationships or intimacy.

And what about Christmas??!

[ShazzieB]

34. Pretty much!

It's my understanding that all his relationships are purely transactional, and that his extended family is like that as well. He doesn't believe in doing something for another person unless he can see some benefit for himself. At least that's what I've read, in multiple sources.

It does sound like a very cold and shallow way to live.

[Irish_Dem]

38. Yes this is true for sociopaths and narcissists.

Relationships are entirely transactional.
There are no emotions, no love.

Some sort of attachment perhaps.
But it is not healthy love.

We can see that Trump's happiness comes from getting attention and committing crimes.
His drug use and sexual promiscuity.
His ability to lie, cheat, steal, bilk and fool others.

[Irish_Dem]

37. He is PROUD of his cheating. He thinks he is clever and smart to cheat.

He loves putting one over on others. Like with his sexual assaults.
And all the tax cheating. All of his other crimes.

It gives him a good feeling to bilk others. Hurt them.
Make money off of them.

Trump sees those who follow the laws and rules as suckers and losers.

He is so angry when he gets called out or caught. People just don't
seem to appreciate his criminal genius. What a great "businessman" he is.
This is what he thinks.

7. Eisenhower was the last honest Republican president.

[Irish_Dem]

9. Yes this is very true.

[Traurigkeit]

12. Was Ike actually a Republican ? Or just a right leaning Democrat ?

[markodochartaigh]

23. While Eisenhower would be considered to be on the left

of the Democratic party today, in those days following FDR, he tried to be in the middle between Republicans and Democrats. Certainly movement on social issues has moved both the Democratic party and the 20% of Republicans who are corporate Republicans to the left, but on the economic issues our oiligarchs care about the Democratic and Republican parties have moved to the right of Eisenhower's "middle way".

"In Eisenhower Republicanism: Pursuing the Middle Way, Steven Wagner argued that the key to understanding how Eisenhower distinguished his policies from those of liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans was his philosophy of the 'middle way'."

[soldierant]

31. I believe both parties competed

for wwwho would get to nominate him

Those were very different times from today.

[ananda]

16. And he was pretty much a do-nothing prez.

Played golf a lot.

[ShazzieB]

26. Don't forget the InternetvHighway System!

Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Interstate Highway System

[bobnicewander]

17. Then Elvis and Rock and Roll

caused the Republicans to go bad.

1956 general election was held on November 6.

Presley's first movie was released on November 15 1956.
S.E.X., drugs and rock and roll.

so there!!!

[SupportSanity]

21. "A little less talk and a lot more action" is what Elvis was looking for. If I recall correctly.

[3Hotdogs]

27. "Love Me Tender" was a weak introduction to Elvis. Black & White and low keyed. I was expecting something more

dynamic from my $.50.

What came after, was even worse.

[Permanut]

28. This whole mess was caused by Elvis?

Dang, I used to kinda like the guy.

[usonian]

36. Lincoln. N/T

[summer_in_TX]

35. The hush money was just one of the ways Trump cheated to win.

He got Wikileaks (in collusion with Russia) to release emails stolen from the Clinton campaign, the very afternoon of the day that the Access Hollywood tape of Trump's vulgar "grab them by the pussy" remarks hit the news?

I have no doubt that the pressure on James Comey to release the statement about the 30,000 "additional" emails mere days before the campaign was orchestrated by Rudy Giuliani through his ties with the SDNY too.

[Roc2020]

13. oh my

that's going to leave a mark

[aggiesal]

18. The best definition of Pendejo45's team is Keystone Crooks. n/t

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. What did he say exactly that has everyone jumping for joy? N/T

[senseandsensibility]

22. The title of my post is a rough quote of his comment.

He said this to the jury directly.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

30. Thanks.

I've been picking up coverage here and there, but nothing verbatim.

Hammering the cheating on the American voter is the real crime. And if he gets away with it, the adage "Cheaters never prosper" needs some serious redefining.

[Warpy]

25. Considering the period the hush money covered, it is going to look bad to the jury

but I still say he could have skipped the whole thing, let her blab and let Pecker publish the article. The few who read it and believed it would have shrugged it off as news 10 years earlier, but little point now.

Republicans rationalize ordinary faithlessness as "Oh, that was 10 years ago/last month/an hour ago! Jesus has shown him'/her the error of his/her ways now," as they continue to vote GOP because they're SUCH good Christians.

I doubt the story would have cost him a single vote.

However, his actions, in concert with Daniels, Pecker, and Cohen, were all aimed at making sure he didn't lose a single vote. And that's what should put him under house arrest for a long time,

[intrepidity]

32. After the Access Hollywood tape, though, the RNC was apparently discussing replacing him as candidate

It's easy to forget that things then were not as batshit crazy as they are now.

[Pluvious]

46. That's true - and even Pence was expressing reservations (nt)

[brush]

29. And Comey's last minute investigation of Hillary again.

A lot of sorry republicans helped orange turn.

[czarjak]

40. Losing the popular vote isn't winning elections.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

42. Rest assured the Biden-Harris campaign will be saying "He CHEATED in 2016"

and will do so again.

Every Democrat running for office will be tying every Republican/MAGAt running to that as well.

Makes me wonder when a conviction comes down, how exciting will the RNC be knowing that they are nominating a CRIMINAL? "GIVE US BARABAS!" the Convention delegates will say. Things did not work out so well for Barabas in the end.

[moreland01]

43. My favorite line from Steinglass . . . .

“The defendant didn’t actually pay a lawyer. He paid a pornstar. By funneling money through a lawyer.”

[senseandsensibility]

47. That is a good line!

God, I wish this trial had been televised.

[SomedayKindaLove]

48. For those keeping score at home

2016 - successfully stole the election
2020 - unsuccessfully tried to steal the election

Trump 1-1 stealing elections heading into 2024.
