The writers are already working on the storylines and scripts. |

Election years tend to be bizarre at best. Then the crazies really come out a during election season, like campaign ads of twerking headstands????

It used to be that they investigated a crime, trying to find out who did it.
Now they investigate a person, trying to find a crime.
Nobody is safe when the investigation is the crime.

Why is trespassing considered an insurrection but a recession is ... you know like whatever you want to decide what it is and happening under the consensus definition since beginning of modern economics, but just not this time because politics say it isn't.
Is economic identity dysphoria considered part of the 3BLGBTQBTWL+ community now?

Two forum members that are singing off key.
Go back to "Bla Bla Bla What About the Democrats?" That, at least, has a kernel of truth, even though it doesn't free the air of the overpowering criminal stench that is Donald John Trump.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 07-26-2022).]

I am going to ask two questions which you will not be able to answer.
1) What crime has Trump committed? Please cite the statute.
2) How did Trump make your life worse? Please provide tangible evidence.

I don't need to have a specific statute to feel good about calling Trump a "criminal."
He is not subject to any criminal penalties until and unless he is indicted and convicted (or pleads guilty) in a court of law, and that requires due process to determine that he has violated one or more criminal statutes. I'm "down" with that. Of course.
Of all the ill deeds that I believe Trump is responsible for, the first one that comes to my mind at this point is the one that was recounted during the J6 committee hearings. About the election worker or workers in Georgia ((I think it was Georgia) where there was a video recording that was played up by Trump and Giuliani as evidence of election shenanigans to give Biden an unfair advantage as ballots were being processed and counted. Allegations of a suitcase stuffed with fake or fraudulent ballots or something of that kind.
Giuliani continued to hype these allegations, even after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation reported that they had investigated and debunked the allegations.
Giuliani and Trump used Twitter to put a target on these election worker(s) backs (so to speak), calling out the election workers by name, and callously endangering their lives.
This is an example of "stochastic terrorism", which anyone can look up online.
That, of course, is only the particular episode of Trump's criminality that comes first to my mind. It's one of the most egregious. Tied, perhaps, with other episodes, for most egregious.
As far as my describing how Trump made my life worse—-he didn't. That's just circumstance. It has more to do with the minutiae that define my own life than with anything about Trump. But that doesn't determine my hugely negative estimation of him as a President (now former President) of the United States and a continuing Republican Party eminence and highly public figure.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 07-26-2022).]

Yes, there are two forum members 'singing off key'.
You have misidentified the members however.
That must be embarrassing.

So, you "feel good" about calling Trump a criminal because he has produced evidence of the criminal activity of others.
I have to say, that is absolutely absurd.
