Thu Sep 22, 2022, 10:05 AM
Sep 2022

He pulled us out of a global response pandemic task force in 2017, he fired the CDC's epidemiologist
who was on the ground in Wuhan in 2018, pulled us out UNESCO's disease control program in 2019,
and sent 18 tons of PPE to China in Feb. of 2020 (because he and Jared owed China money) .... they
were all the "black guy's idea.

And in Oct. and November of 2019 he and Jared bought hydrochloxoquine and his own C-19 test kits
neither of which worked. And he repeatedly told everybody that C-19 isn't that bad and masks don't
work.

* includes those that died of C-19 and others who died from other medical issues but couldn't get
help because hospitals, Drs, & nurses were tied up treating C-19 cases.

He is that delusional. Would like to think that when it finally hits him, it will be in public and his cult will have the opportunity to understand. Not that I think they will. They are as delusional as he is.

malfeasance in the meantime. It also discredits the GQP cult. This allows us to firm up our international standing, again.

Only problem is the OP is two years old, though.

We’ve been hoping for the end of this miserable chapter in the history of this country ever since. I do hope it finally comes - and SOON! I don’t know how long America can stand the strain.

He’ll go down in history as the most deceitful and destructive individual who ever stepped onto center stage.

Thu Sep 22, 2022, 10:56 AM
Sep 2022

They only require 5 of 6 jurors to find for the plaintiff (in this case, the State). This is probably why Trish James didn't go for criminal fraud which would have needed a unanimous 12 juror decision.

Justice matters.

They will not want to endure the spectacle of being put on trial or to take the chance of being convicted and sent to prison in a state where a pardon will not be in their future. I’m sure they all have money stashed away in offshore accounts, and Trump would take the multimillion dollar fund amassed from his cult. Several countries would most likely take them in, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel, and Russia, though Israel does have an extradition treaty with the US.

He thinks he’ll get away with this and everything else that’s coming his way by doing what he’s done throughout his whole life,
successfully I might add. Conning lying and cheating.

Only this time he may wind up on the receiving end and we will all get the last laugh. If so, that will wipe the smile off that arrogant national disgrace.

The moment he does that he will claim he is shielded by the shroud of boundless protection, and media pundits will totally buy in.

He knows he's about to lose everything so he'll retreat to the sanctuary provided to him from the moment he announced in 2015 til the day he got his butt kicked out of office. It was very effective. Laws are his kryptonite. Politics are his refuge.

Indict him tomorrow. Time is not on our side.

and he's not going to have it. I think the only question is when he will flee the country, by air or by sea. He could always float around in the Caribbean for awhile, until he needs a major yacht repair. He could buy an island, and exile himself there. At least until the icecaps finish melting, and it's under water.

40. Reasons for hope .... TFG and those documents @ Merde a Logo.
Thu Sep 22, 2022, 11:46 AM
Sep 2022

America has had 3 people who were found guilty of espionage @ the level that TFG "might have"
been @ and we executed 2 of them (the Rosenbergs) and the other person is the former FBI agent
Robert Hanssen who is doing 15 life terms back to back @ the super max prison in Colorado.

I have a family member who worked with military spy satellites and to this day he/she can not
say one thing about his/her work and TFG had documents about our satellite programs in his closet?
BTW even though Russia invaded Ukraine for a 2nd time after TFG was no longer in office you can
have no doubt that TFG passed on information about our satellites in geocentric over Ukraine to
Putin.

Why he is still walking free right now is so wrong.

and one hopes there were only 3 of them. It seems like there might be some forgery in there somewhere, but he most likely applied 3 different times in 3 different states and nobody caught it.

I just want him out of the public eye. I want him gone.

Let’s say we can’t lock trump up because the bull shit fear of its consequences. If he is convicted can we at least END his benefits? If any of us screwed our employer a fraction of what he has done we would lose every penny of retirement and health care. He and Melania get OUR cash for the remainder of their lives and the greatest health care.
Besides he does not need it, he gave up his salary for 4 years right, donated it all to charity (his pocket) so why should we pay such a traitorous criminal?
I would bet my retirement he cashed every damn check of nearly $500,000 a year, except the one month check he gave to USFS right after he butchered their budget.
Not another penny to him or his Ho.
