No way did trump say that!
… Donald Trump posted on his social media platform in all caps that “I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE CHARGES ARE IN THIS RIGGED CASE.”
“I AM ENTITLED TO SPECIFICITY JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE,” he wrote.
Maybe you should have stayed awake instead of farting yourself to sleep every day.
The post comes after Trump watched Judge Merchan spend over an hour instructing the jury on the law and specific charges in the case…
😙🤌
They should ask him what he thinks he’s on trial for—he might confess to something that hasn’t even been uncovered yet.
That only works if the person being questioned has a consience. Drumpf would most likely answer “because I’m supposed to be the president, the election was rigged and they kicked me out, now I’m on trial to keep me from going back”
“Ask your lawyer”
I don’t even have a lawyer that can beat these charges. I am entitled to a lawyer who can beat these charges.
Honest question. How did we get here? How are we discussing the very real world situation where an elderly sex offender who probably won’t see a jail, (but absolutely would if he had been just some nobody) is running for president, again…
Against another elderly man, whom everybody seems to dislike but everybody is going to vote for again because the other guy is even worse.
Both candidates very well could die in the next 4 years, and the stress of the job dramatically increases those odds.
Biden is older at 81, while trump is 77 (according to google), but Biden is much more physically healthy, whereas if Weeble-Wobbles wanted to make a trump liscensed Weeble-Wobble they wouldn’t need to make a new body shape for them. Just use the existing shape.
How did we get here? How did we get to the point where everything sucks, everybody knows it sucks, but we’re just supposed to along with it…and we do!
So now we get to watch as a clearly mentally incomplete elderly man falls asleep, and farts in the court room. I’m unclear if its illegal to do that, but you have to imagine whomever the judge was had to be offended at the very least. With anyone else, I’d say it’s a bad idea to piss off the judge of your case. In this case though, I’m not sure it matters. He doesn’t face responsibility for anything. He doesn’t care. This is all a mockery to him.
HOW DID WE GET HERE???
Heavy oppression of the poor through underfunded education and social systems, coupled with propagandist media preying on their fear of the unfamiliar while blaming their oppression on the Democrats’ desire to help everyone but them. Like it or not, many of them are the victims, not the problem.
If it makes you feel better the UKs only been in election season for a week and we’ve already seen 2 different attempts at election interferance by the current ruling party.
Doesn’t so much make me feel “better” as makes my sadness cover more ground. Like “Oh shit! This bullshit isn’t an Americzn thing? It’s just a human thing???”
I was joking to myself earlier that if Earth were a Lemmy instance, I’d register on a different instsnce.
It’s not a 10s soindbite, nor a 144 character tweet.
Of course he has no idea what is going on
Mother Teresa was a super fucked up individual, though. I’m not sure she’s really suitable for use as a benchmark.
She rose to fame on the suffering of others. Trump and her have more in common than most would think.
She also took in who-knows-how-much in donations to charity claiming they would be used to help the stick and the poor, but instead just gave that money directly to the Vatican who proceeded to do fuck all to the benefit of anybody with it except themselves.
Oh but that sweet donation gave her a nice shiny sainthood post mortem.
Too bad I don’t believe in hell so I could wish she would roast there. Instead the Church’s PR made her name synonymous with selflessly caring for the poor.
Cruel, but fair.
It’s actually a pretty good analogy.
She was a huge hypocrite for telling suffering patients that pain brought them closer to god, while withholding pain medication and anesthetics that she then eagerly accepted when she took ill.
Trump is going to drain the swamp of criminals in the White House that are oppressing the American people.
Nuns in her order were forbidden from forming friendships with each other, and were transfered and punished if they showed warmth or spent time with each other.
This was for the obvious reason - having friends is the first step on the slippery slope to being gay.
Isolation and alienation are hallmarks of a controlling cult.
I am also here for the Teresa truth.
Then Mother Theresa shouldn’t have falsified business records
Would she still be allowed to run for Mother?
She’d be forced to.
Ahhhhh, I see what you did there!
Not with the anti-trans legislation the regressives are pushing through
No. She’s disqualified for hurting people to bring them closer to god. She’s a religious terrorist cunt.
Only at Motherboy 2025. And that’s only if they don’t get enough funding, since that’s a reputable organization.
I sure hope she couldn’t. Mother Theresa was a fucking monster that literally kept her patients willfully in pain because she believed the pain kept them closer to her deity.
Giving her a pass for fucking a porn star and using campaign funds to pay her off would be even more insane than giving a racist rapist a pass.
Mother Teresa was a horrible, self-serving person not entirely unlike Trump.
“We’ll see how we do,” Trump said as the jury began its deliberations. “It’s a very disgraceful situation.”
You are correct, but not for the reason you think.
Turns out when your main business is crime and you commit dozens of obvious crimes in public and you leave plenty of evidence of your crimes and you piss off the people you asked to cover up your crimes, you may eventually have a hard time proving you didn’t commit crimes.
My favorite part was when he hired a criminal to commit crimes to cover up his own crimes, and then accused said criminal of being a criminal and claimed you therefore can’t trust said criminal as a witness to his own crimes.
Huh. This makes sense…
He’s appealing to the kind of people that think that someone who is a good person shouldn’t be found guilty of a crime.
Only bad people need to be punished for their crimes.
If I have to hear one more thought Donald Trump has about this case.
I have blue balls for justice starting from 4 years ago. And nothing but Trump commentary (arguable the least horny thing on this planet) to keep me occupied.
And I am about to pay a porn star hush money to beat me in a Trump outfit if I don’t start seeing some justice.
I have blue balls for justice starting from 4 years ago.
It could be worse; you could’ve had them from 7 years ago when he was inaugurated and started violating the Emoluments Clause. Trump’s done so many crimes we don’t even pay attention to half of 'em!
Mother Theresa wouldn’t be facing these charges… and if she was, there wouldn’t be mountains of evidence clearly pointing at her guilt.
I mean, she might… She was a very immoral person who lived under an immense amount of false morality.
Please replace ‘Mother Theresa’ with whomever you think is the most morally unimpeachable - the actual person doesn’t matter here because it’s an idiom…
I’m well aware that she, personally, wasn’t all sunshine and roses.
If you could please stop pretending that she was all sunshine and roses, that’d be super. There’s some in the back that don’t quite get it yet.
That never occurred.
Mother Theresa would not be facing charges of paying a porn star with campaign money, as we have no evidence or even hint that that ever occurred.
As I clarified - it’s an idiom. I was not trying to imply she’s was an awesome person, just mirroring Trump’s phrasing.
He’s trying to set expectations for his followers.
Like how he’s insisting that Biden is some insane genius at debating, so when Trump is scored as losing debates by pundits it won’t sting as much.
The enemy is both weak and strong
Does Trump think that Pence’s wife’s name is Teresa?
Not sure where the surprise is coming from. He’s been saying stupid shit for a long time
