    I've challenged his supporters before for them to give me one example of a business he ran that was successful, didn't fail, and wasn't fraudulent. I never received an answer.

    it began before he took office. Like him or hate him, what was done to Trump should never be done to anyone

    You don't think that anyone should ever be held to the rule of law? Odd.

    huh? fake russia investigation

    investigations looking for a crime vs investigating a crime

    No, that should never be done to an citizen. The fact that you applaud what was done is very disturbing

    Trump’s economy proved you wrong. If Biden hadn’t been hijacked by the prog’s and left things alone he would have been a hero.

    You guys lost the right to whine and bitch pathetically about the Russia investigation the moment the Trump Tower meeting came to light. We KNOW and the campaign ADMITTED that they attempted to collude with Russia, dude. I'm sorry you think we should have just buried that and let it go, but I disagree.

    Lol, you are going to have to try this line on someone with no background in economics, because it has no basis in reality. The only people who credit Trump for the economy are those who either 1) can't read a graph or 2) won't read a graph. That's it.

    Nope. Never defended it. You are going to have to work your spin on someone else.

    I didn't make a comment here about the deficit, and Trump was pushing for more spending even before the pandemic. Hell, he criticized Biden for not spending MORE money. Catch up.

    Like what ?

    The Conservatives tried to impeach Clinton because he got his d*** sucked by a trainee.

    The GOP launched a House investigation against Biden because they believe - without a shred of evidence - that he has shady business links with his ex-drug addict son.

    Trump isn't a victim, he's a criminal manipulating his base.

    Before he was elected, he was a career fraudster who went bankrupt six times and paid $25 million to compensate the 1,600 students at his fake university.

    During his tenure, his charitable foundation was dissolved by the courts because it was being used to defraud the IRS.

    Did you know that ?

    At what point will the MAGA realize they're worshipping a criminal?

    I can already spot a few in your list that fit in the "fraudulent" category. The only one I can immediately spot that might have some credibility is The Apprentice . . . which wasn't even his idea. But, sure, I'll admit that his reality show was successful and have done so in the past.

    The fake investigation that ended with real people going to real prisons after real convictions in real courts?

    Uh huh. Sure. See, doesn't matter what is put before you, you'll deny deny deny no matter what. Trump hatred is a strong force that is for sure. The ability to deny reality is ever present.

    Dude, you didn't even post businesses, which is what I asked. You posted assets. Most of those assets were run by The Trump Organization . . . which is a fraudulent organization. Massive fail. Do you really need someone to hold your hand and go through these assets one by one?

    Now do his bankrupties. One of the worst things according to the right is a poor person who refuses to pay their debts.

    Trump is rich and has done the thing they detest 7 times. Yet instead of criticizing him for it, they lectured us about how it was smart to not pay off creditors.

    I honestly don't thing they fall for the "con". I think they champion the "privilige" he shows by getting away with "it". That feeds them....

    You do know that two things can be true at the same time right? Yes, all of those things I listed are assets. But each and every one is a business also. That you tried to side step this fact shows that you're not interested in the truth. Not surprising really.

    I thought if the glass slipper fit, then so be it. The difference there(up until the Tarmac incident) is that since it was the Obama DOJ investigating the DNC candidate, it gave the appearance of impartiality(the key, if the DOJ is going to muddy itself with politics.)

    Trump may very well deserve all that's coming to him(I feel this way about some cases, than others. For example, I agree with Wolfe, he's cooked on documents-gate. I would've plead to that **** so fast if I was him.), but the fact that this *just* so happens to benefit the incumbent administration, is what pandora's box is about.

    And no one can complain that it's pandora's box, since everyone is upset about Trump exercising the DOJ against his 'political opponents'(I wonder though, that would also be an admission that he did NOT do this during 2016-20. One of the many times his detactors yelled about something that didn't happen. Now, it seems there's a credible chance of it happening)

    So yeah, it is clear that the justice system is being wielded against Donald Trump. Whether fairly or not is irrelevant. The fact is, it won't bring about justice even with a conviction. It'll just be another dark stain on the US as a whole. Like it or not, we can't shake off the stain and put it just on Trump.

    We will be EU-like, for the foreseeable future. The position as head of the DOJ, will be seen as a politically lucrative and sought position, taking the place of Secretary of State.

    Not yet but it's inevitable. Should I say European bloc to make everyone feel better?
