It's not about hating Trump.

What's not to hate?

[Svartalf]

Everything frump is hateful, but that natural attitude is not the subject of the thread

It's not about hating Trump.

What's not to hate?

Now that you mention it ...

Personal feelings are beside the point in regard to his fitness for the office though.

[Svartalf]

Basically, I don't know what is deemed unfit for office, given the number of self serving corrupt sleazeballs, sheer psychos, and senile garbage that have been in the oval office and never got ousted.

I think Trump's the only president I've had that's likely never entertained being president for the right reasons. He's physically incapable of leadership.

[Strontium Dog]

Trump is 100 times worse than his nearest contender for worst president ever.

[Svartalf]

That much? Andrew chackson and reagan were pretty bad though

[Strontium Dog]

I may be exaggerating slightly.

Reagan was 100 times the man Trump is though.

[Svartalf]

that's true, even if he was a toady of J Edgar Hoover and totally senile

Dubya?
He should've been stretched with Saddam and Tony, if there were any justice in this world.

Trump preaching:
“I’m being indicted for you and I believe that ‘you’ is more than 200 million people who love our country,” the former president said to applause. “This is a continuation of the greatest witch hunt of all time.”

“They want to interfere with the upcoming election, they want to demean, insult … whatever’s necessary to win,” he added.

He's grabbing America by the pussy. G'won America - you know you want to, you filthy little slut.

Another 'perfect phone call.'

'Trump pressured Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to overturn 2020 election'

In a phone call in late 2020, President Donald Trump tried to pressure Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) to overturn the state’s presidential election results, saying that if enough fraudulent votes could be found it would overcome Trump’s narrow loss in Arizona, according to three people familiar with the call.

Trump also repeatedly asked Vice President Mike Pence to call Ducey and prod him to find the evidence to substantiate Trump’s claims of fraud, according to two of these people. Pence called Ducey several times to discuss the election, they said, though he did not follow Trump’s directions to pressure the governor.

The extent of Trump’s efforts to cajole Ducey into helping him stay in power has not before been reported, even as other efforts by Trump’s lawyer and allies to pressure Arizona officials have been made public. Ducey told reporters in December 2020 that he and Trump had spoken, but he declined to disclose the contents of the call then or in the more than two years since. Although he disagreed with Trump about the outcome of the election, Ducey has sought to avoid a public battle with Trump.

Ducey described the “pressure” he was under after Trump’s loss to a prominent Republican donor over a meal in Arizona earlier this year, according to the donor, who like others interviewed for this story spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. The account was confirmed by others aware of the call. Ducey told the donor he was surprised that special counsel Jack Smith’s team had not inquired about his phone calls with Trump and Pence as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into the former president’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, the donor said.

Ducey did not record the call, people familiar with the matter said.

Trump too busy! Call us later! I'll be pardoning myself!

The defense filing says bluntly that this December is too soon to start a trial and urges Cannon not to set a trial date now, but makes clear that Trump’s lawyers oppose any trial that would start during the presidential election season, which will get underway in earnest late this year. Assuming Trump wins the Republican nomination, the defense position appears to urge nearly a year of delay beyond what prosecutors are proposing.
