Very disturbing to see the Biden administration representative stand in condolence for Irans president’ the butcher of Iran’ . Who died in a helicopter crash.. I wonder if the same attitude would be displayed if it were Trump in that crash… doubtful.. disturbing and reprehensible…

No matter how bad the guy was, there's no harm in showing some respect for a dead Iranian president. The US Navy even gave Osama Bin Laden a respectful burial at sea.

And when Trump dies, he'll undoubtedly get the customary honors of an ex-president. They won't bury him on a golf course--unless he makes that arrangement with his family.

Like him or not , but Trump is going to districts that politicians have ignored for years. He’s talking with folks of all races and these people are listening, but all we hear from the democrat politicians and their media is how dare Trump go see these people to hear their concerns. and let them know things will get better for all.. CNN and msnbc mouthpieces called the people there “ clowns” .. while Biden speaks at Morehouse telling them they have to work 10 times harder to get ahead in the country that hates them. What kind of message is that for these graduates?..

Biden wasn't telling those graduates that they had to work ten times harder. His actual line was "What is democracy if you have to be 10 times better than anyone else to get a fair shot?"

[...]

"Instead of forcing you to prove you’re 10 times better, we’re breaking down doors so you have 100 times more opportunities: good-paying jobs you can raise a family on in your neighborhood — (applause); capital to start small business and loans to buy homes; health insurance, prescriptions drugs, housing that’s more affordable and accessible."

My point being Trump speech inspires while Biden’s is “ Dark Brandon… and divisive… if he had done something of real value for the black communities or positive black futures he wouldn’t be giving that message. What has he done for them in his three years. It’s only now he wants to show his interests and compassion.

No. Trump speeches are rambling and nonsensical. Of course he'll promise that everything will turn around when he's in office, just like he promised a better health care plan or a "incredible" infrastructure bill "in two weeks." He gripes that we're a nation in decline (ignoring the soaring stock market and super-low unemployment) and can't offer any hints on what he'd do to solve problems. The guy's just a big fat liar.

But sure, Biden's the divisive one, only helping his voters, because Republicans never get the price caps on insulin or reduced junk fees from banks and airlines. Maybe Republicans don't bank or fly to travel. Do they exclusively drive big pickup trucks with Trump flags, needing extra low gas prices to afford all that AND the truck nutz?

Lol , that last part was a little rambling. truck nuts? And yes truckers would like lower gas prices. Doesn’t everyone?. Not everyone is invested in the stock market. We appreciate the cap on insulin, those that need it. But you guys seem to hate what Trump did, biggest tax cuts, lowest unemployment for minorities . makings of a peace deal in Middle East. NO new WARS.. low inflation and we could afford to eat and pay our bills on time w/o putting everything on credit cards..just my view of the U.S. these days..all before the pandemic. You can’t blame Trump for the damage that had on the U.S. without also blaming Biden for his part of the shutdown of economy.

I hope it’s this November Slim, we need conservatives in office , the party of the working people . Democrats seem more for the elite ( Hollywood) class and the special interest groups. And I hope Canada follows suit with conservatives being elected..

It's important to have conservatives participating in our government, but it's against all our interests to elect criminals like Trump to office. With his nearly 100 felony charges and history of financial difficulties, he's not even fit for a security clearance, and yet half the country wants to put him in office where he can give or sell more nuclear secrets to Russia, and then pardon himself out of any accountability. That's nuts!

yes , it's important to have the right people in office at this time in history ...Conservative parties are in the for front right now ... and are in tune with what the regular folk want, but can they deliver on their promises ???
But the unsettling thought here is that there is a fair chance the Dems or Liberals( in Canada ) can still rrig or steal this election !!!

Past history from 2016 till 2020 did Trump do any of the far fetched fantasy’s that democrats accuse him of wanting to do. Hell No and he’s not going to be the Dictator or the executioner or the Putin co-hort . you unrealistic people conjure up. What’s nuts is re-electing Biden and his america last policies. And while the only defense for democrats to win is call Trump every name in the book and hope some of it sticks. Nothing Trump has said is as decisive or racist as Joe Describing Obama as being the first black running for president that is articulate decent and clean .. or if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black..can anybody watch him speak or walk or mingle with voters and feel confident with another 4 years.. not many…

I agree that Trump was an ineffective president and his worst threats never came true, but he still managed to commit tons of crimes, especially around the time he was supposed to turn over power peacefully. While he never managed to change the laws that would allow him to jail political opponents without evidence or silence the media coverage he disliked, he also had people in his cabinet who put the country and our Constitution over Trump. Trump's made it clear he won't do that again. He's spent the last few years finding people who will be loyal to Trump above all else, and he'll make sure to jail his perceived foes during his term as dictator, and "day one" will not be limited to just one day.

Throughout all Trump's legal issues, he's been posting on social media that "If this can happen to me, it can happen to you." What he means is "If this happens to me, it'll happen to everyone who's responsible for this happening to me." He's never admitted to breaking laws that we can all see he's broken. He says he's allowed by law to commit the crimes he's committed. And despite literal piles of evidence, he demands that he cannot be criminally liable for anything he's done since becoming president, like he's a king or a pope. The guy's a nutcase, and should be nowhere near public office.

OK, so the actual line is: "In the end, they're not coming after me. They're coming after you — and I'm just standing in their way"

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-deliver-fiery-post-indictment-speech-georgia-rcna88561

Same implication that, for unstated reasons, the government is coming for us, like they are for Trump--who's obviously committed dozens of crimes. But the government will charge us for crimes we didn't do. Eric Trump even said the other day that they'll win because they're white.

Yea, how could anyone conclude this current administration with his DOJ in tow and most democrat politicians will be coming after half of the citizens in this country. After comments like a basket full of deplorable, or ‘ their gonna put you back in chains. Look how the treat the trespassers of ,the so called insurrection, or the parents in Va. for want a little say so in THEIR child’s education. Or Christian’s praying in front of abortion clinics while letting pregnancy centers be attacked with no punishment for those offenders. If we don’t agree with millions of illegals waltzing across the border than those folks are labeled racists. Jailing political openers. . They are trying to restrict our freedoms by implicating policies that make no sense but definitely hurting our economy and the ability for the middle class and the poor to keep afloat…when I hear Trump say they are coming after you. Yes I believe it because I see how life has shifted for the average worker . And in my book if your policies make my life harder , you are coming after me…

Trump is officially a convicted felon.
Guilty on all 34 counts.


https://news.yahoo.com/live/trump-trial-live-updates-jury-reaches-verdict-in-historic-hush-money-case-124053321.html

Sentencing on July 11--just days before the Republican Convention. And then Trump's appeals to run their course. If Trump loses in November, we could see the other cases run their course, too.
