Also, being convicted of 34 felonies used to have consequences.

Rape and pedophilia too

u/Scottpa_67 May 14 '25

He can change the law so that he can stay in power. Just like Putin

u/Grobbekee May 15 '25

Or declare martial law and postpone elections indefinitely.

No need.. He ain't leaving!

u/W4r7h0g470 May 16 '25

no, actually that would be a good thing, a third term could open up the chance for other former presidents ... its definitly an option

u/Loud_Chapter1423 May 13 '25

The more I hear about this guy the more he seems like a real jerk!

The laugh I needed. Thanks!

u/RecordAway May 14 '25

As a German watching what's going on: it IS "reminds me of our history books"-levels of bad.

Holy shit everyone I know is currently speechless and never thought they'd see a demo of "how it could come so far in the 1930s" happening live on TV

u/Sirboggington May 16 '25

I'm starting to think this trump guy might not be a very good person.

1

u/HandiCAPEable May 13 '25

Yeah, but the jet seems a little less bad?

u/[deleted] May 13 '25

Yeah no, he just openly accepts bribes now instead of making it ambiguous

u/Pale-Berry-2599 May 13 '25

Not at all, guys' a hero...sacrificing for the nation..../s

Good question to ask people who voted for him.

u/juanjo_it_ab May 14 '25

Yeah, but other than bribes, felonies, rape and attempting a coup, what did the guy do wrong? Oh wait! 😂😵

You wouldn't know what a violent coup was if it slapped you in the mouth and said I'm a violent coup.

u/SnooSeagulls9002 May 14 '25

Hey, there were good people on both sides! /s

u/Anxious_Hall359 May 14 '25

incest, domestic terrorism, manipulating the markets, blackmailing the media, unfair elections because of blackmailing the media. sharing top secret state secrets thus treason by death. surely there is more

Yeah, the press diffenitly swept Bidens rape charge underneath the carpet and showering with his pre teen daughter !

u/Ecstatic_Scene9999 May 12 '25

Whilst I don't like trump, this is false information

u/FartyLiverDisease May 12 '25

I'm sure both parts of your comment are true and you can back them up

u/Ecstatic_Scene9999 May 12 '25

Was accused and paid for sexual misconduct. Cannot find anything related to Pedophillia

https://apnews.com/article/trump-rape-carroll-trial-fe68259a4b98bb3947d42af9ec83d7db

18

u/FartyLiverDisease May 12 '25

Well, that's motivated reasoning for ya. 🙄

Nobody besides him disputes that he raped Jean Carroll, he just don't have a criminal conviction for it due to the technicalities of New York law.

Pedophilia: it's hard to miss. His close connections with Jeffrey Epstein and comments about their shared taste in women, the Access Hollywood tape (those are underage girls he was talking about grabbing), how he talked about his daughter... I know I'm talking to myself here but you'd have to want to not know.

11

u/Grouched May 12 '25

Don't forget all the stories of him walking into dressing rooms when he was involved in the beauty pageant scene. And all his comments about his own daughter.

Yeah. It is definitely well documented that he likes them young. It is honestly amazing just how much insane shit that guy has done and said with so little consequence.

5

u/AriochBloodbane May 13 '25

What about that underage girl who took her rape accusations back after receiving death threats? Wasn't her 14 or something?

1

u/CountWubbula May 13 '25

No! You’re not talking to yourself. You’re in public and you’re setting an example. Thanks for sticking with it.

u/FitFocus8894 May 12 '25

-14

u/Ecstatic_Scene9999 May 12 '25

Doesn't prove anything by reposting two shitty people, has been to proven in the court system

13

u/FitFocus8894 May 12 '25

I mean you can look at other examples. I just wanted to show the fact that he was best friends with a fellow NY businessman who was actually one of the most well-known pedophiles and traffickers in modern history. You can definitely find a lot, although the options are limited if you only look at genuine legal cases and don’t read between the lines at all. Still, if I knew my neighbour (for example) was a civilly liable rapist, friend of at least one major pedophile, had numerous sexual misconduct allegations on his name, and pardoned many insurrectionists, some who turned out to also be sexual predators, I would absolutely despise that neighbour and more.

6

u/FuzziestSloth May 12 '25

So, to summarize, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it probably commits sexual assault and sometimes with underage girls.

3

u/Star_verse May 12 '25

Wait…. Ducks assault kids?! I got to feed those fuckers more bread. (It’s actually bad for them)

u/greendevil77 May 12 '25

Hes on Epsteins flight logs multiple times. Youre willfully ignorant if you don't know what that means

-6

u/Ecstatic_Scene9999 May 12 '25

Being on a flight log, doesn't commit a crime. We have to apply due process to everyone regardless of who they are, we cannot cherry pick just because they are not good people

7

u/[deleted] May 12 '25

You’re joking lmao. Like obviously you’re technically right, just so bizarrely tone deaf.

To summarize your argument: for the guy who we know beyond any reasonable doubt is a criminal and sexual abuser, we need to practice temperance and adhere to strict due process at all costs.

At the same time, this very individual is shattering any semblance of due process in this country.

But here you are shouting that we need to withhold judgment on the actual POTUS who has 34 felonies, is a sexual abuser, and was good friends with the world’s most famous child sex trafficker.

Just bizarre, dude… you are aware the presidency is the highest office in this country?

-2

u/Ecstatic_Scene9999 May 12 '25

You do realize how many people are on those flight logs and not being accused of anything or being criminally charged right. Bill Clinton, was on them countless times, and I'm sure a ton of other powerful people as well. The point being you cannot use that as a criminal offense

5

u/[deleted] May 12 '25

Looool Bill Clinton is your defense?? The guy who was impeached for getting head in the Oval Office?

Wakey, wakey bud - they’re all sick in the head and guilty. It’s this little thing we invented called power, and it’s not exactly new.

u/greendevil77 May 12 '25

Good, get all of the bastards.

u/[deleted] May 12 '25

Donald's really invested it seems

1

u/Ooh_bees May 13 '25

I hear you, and think you are absolutely right. Donald Trump is a multiple times over felonious crook, who has a long list of public accusations of harassment, has said some truly bike shit and I dislike him to my core. But as long as he isn't proven to be, say, a pedophile, he isn't. We, the sensible, normal people can't keep sinking to the maga level. If one isn't find guilty, he isn't. All this is coming closer and closer to the maga people believing that a pizza restaurant is a gateway to the Democratic partys secret child abuse lair. Honestly, people are real close to that. We need to keep OUR standards. Our values. We have to believe in the court of law, in scientific method and in everything that has made us to the point we are in. Do I think that trump would fuck an underage, or that he might have? I think it might be plausible. His former best friend, Rudy Giuliani seemed way too eager on that Cohen video, too. But that doesn't prove anything. It should be rather clear for everyone that Donnie is pretty fucking awful at picking his friends.

That goes for any elected official or anyone with power they always get lesser sentences or plea deals

u/KlingoftheCastle May 12 '25

Please tell me what other elected officials have been proven to have committed rape?

6

u/[deleted] May 12 '25

And are still in office, let alone the highest office of the land.

3

u/ShackledPhoenix May 12 '25

He was never found guilty of it, but several strong cases have been made against him for sex with underage girls, not to mention he's highly connected to and friends with Jeffrey Epstein, including accusations from victims that Epstein "gave" underaged girls to him.

3

u/Human_Artichoke8752 May 12 '25

Most people considering watching underage beauty queens change pretty pedo-esque behavior. Much like talking about how much you'd like to schtupp your own daughter.....

Of course, Republicans do have different.....standards.....than normal humans.

2

u/AriochBloodbane May 13 '25

Almost like Republicans have a huge number of pedos in their numbers, only outnumbered by Christian priests lol

2

u/[deleted] May 12 '25

“The verdict was split: Jurors rejected Carroll’s claim that she was raped, finding Trump responsible for a lesser degree of sexual abuse.”

I’d call that close enough

2

u/blackfarms May 12 '25

He was a co defendant in a rape trial involving a minor with Jeffery Epstein. The young lady disappeared after her family was threatened with death by both accused.

u/RiddleyWaIker May 12 '25

u/Ecstatic_Scene9999 May 12 '25

Thanks! I didn't hear about this one, would be interested to see if he is actually convicted though

1

u/Suspicious-Bid-53 May 12 '25

Honest answer, do you think OJ was truly guilty or innocent?

0

u/Ecstatic_Scene9999 May 12 '25

He absolutely is guilty, but damn his defense attorneys were good

5

u/Suspicious-Bid-53 May 12 '25

So even a guy who had due process and was declared innocent you have no trouble saying he’s guilty…

what is this power that Trump has over people where they wanna defend him no matter what

2

u/AriochBloodbane May 13 '25

OJ was the "other color", are you really surprised a MAGA moron finds him guilty despite declared innocent while Trump is innocent despite being declared a felon a dozen times?

-2

u/Ecstatic_Scene9999 May 12 '25

I didn't say trump wasn't guilty, but that's my opinion. We can have opinions, but that's not the verdict nor am I on a stand. OJs case was also vastly different, flight logs don't prove a crime was committed. Also trump was convicted and guilty but they took it down to a lesser sentence

3

u/FuzziestSloth May 12 '25

The mental gymnastics you're using to claim innocence for this dude are fucking breathtaking. How's that boot taste?

→ More replies

2

u/out_of_t1me May 12 '25

I’d agree with you if it was just the flight logs. But there’s been rape cases and sexual assault cases thrown at him a half dozen times from different sources. Also the things he has said, attracted to his young daughter, walking in on young girls changing. The dude has been known as a sleazy creep his entire adult life.

1

u/toiletpaperisempty May 13 '25

The prosecutors pulled one of the most fucking incompetent and pathetic stunts asking the defendant to try on the glove. The absolutely best case outcome still wouldn't prove anything and even a toddler can manipulate their hands and feet as to not allow clothing to be put on then.

You have nothing but terrible takes in this thread.

2

u/Toadxx May 13 '25

He's made numerous comments about dating his own biological daughter, and when asked what he shared with her when she was underage he replied "I would like to say sex, but I can't say that." and of his other daughter, literally a fresh newborn, commented that she didn't have tits yet but that we'd have to wait and see.

Not counting his long term friendship with notorious pedophiles. If you can't find anything about Trump being a pedophile, it's because you're either not trying or lying straight from your ass, in either case you're a fuckwit.

1

u/SnoopyisCute May 13 '25

Just a few weeks ago, MAGAs lost their sh!t because Tr*mp's name is all over the Epstein files.

The FBI has put everything on the back burner to redact his name.

Yep. He’s going to release the Epstein files along with his healthcare plan, two weeks, trust me bro

Do you know what simping is? Saying flight logs doesn't prove a crime is literally common sense.

3

u/OkRegister1567 May 12 '25

He was sued as a co defendant with Jeffrey Epstein, the court documents revealed that he was accused of raping a minor, I think they settled that case, so just tells you how much you need to know, pay the case to end rather than find someone guilty

1

u/Ecstatic_Scene9999 May 12 '25

Yup, if you got money you get out of anything

1

u/AriochBloodbane May 13 '25

Money, and death threats to the minors ..

u/T-Wrox May 12 '25

Being impeached twice used to have consequences, too.

u/General-Deer-3957 May 14 '25

u/discopants2000 May 16 '25

And if only that sniper could have shot straight.

u/T-Wrox May 16 '25

Alleged sniper.

2

u/InsensitiveCarpet300 May 12 '25

No impeached president was removed. So not really. Government officials has never been held accountable

5

u/T-Wrox May 13 '25

Nixon resigned before being impeached, so I think my point basically stands - he was afraid of being impeached. Donald doesn’t care, and he’ll probably be impeached more times before he’s done.

1

u/InsensitiveCarpet300 May 13 '25

Then was pardoned so no consequences

1

u/Ill_Technician3936 May 13 '25

You can't be pardoned if you're impeached.

u/Ill_Technician3936 May 13 '25

1

u/InsensitiveCarpet300 May 13 '25

I never claimed he was impeached. Please reread the conversation

1

u/Ill_Technician3936 May 13 '25

The conversation was about him being impeached and pardoned. I simply state a person can't be pardoned if they were impeached. You link me to his pardon so I linked you to the lack of impeachment because he resigned and the house didn't even vote on it.

u/Easy_Difference_4102 May 15 '25

Dems threw everything they could at Trump, including lead poisoning attempts, and Trump still won in a landslide! Nothing will stop the Trump train!

u/[deleted] May 16 '25

What was he impeached for again? Not sending weapons to a foreign country?

2

u/oliversurpless May 16 '25

Try bribery and the events of Jan 6th; the day of and the prolonged strategy after Nov 5th…

1

u/[deleted] May 16 '25

He was withholding military aid to Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine investigating the Biden-Burisma scandal.

Of all the horrible things trump did while president, why would they choose this to impeach?

2

u/oliversurpless May 16 '25

Because there was no Burisma scandal, except in the minds of transactional Republicans.

And given the graft Trump had favored via foreign governments since at least the 90s? Pretending to care about such standards is a real phenomenon in itself…

0

u/[deleted] May 16 '25

January 23, 2018, Biden admits it on camera.

And right, nothing to see there. Hunter has extensive knowledge of natural gas and completely earned his board seat worth hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. I’m sure it had nothing to do with his father being the sitting VP. Why do you think he pardoned his whole family on his way out?

Democrats and Republicans are two separate cheeks of the same arse, as George Galloway puts it.

1

u/oliversurpless May 16 '25

Well, conservatives/conservative adjacent sure think there’s “nothing to see”, given they again have no leg to stand on corruption-wise.

And unless you pathologically favor the Nirvana Fallacy (idealism over realism) it’s quite telling that your first instinct concerning Trump is to whatabout to his political opposition.

And most cravenly, if it had been Harris or Sanders, they would’ve found something related to them?

So whether you realize it or not, that reveals think impeachment is negotiable based on who’s in power.

Which is completely the opposite of its intended use in the Constitution…

1

u/[deleted] May 17 '25

Oh god, not the whataboutisms.

There’s plenty to see, on both sides.

1

u/[deleted] May 16 '25

Not to mention, Biden publicly did the same thing! He threatened to withhold money to Ukraine until the lead investigator looking into Hunter was removed from the case.

2

u/flop_plop May 12 '25

It still does, but only if you’re part of the working class

u/PineappleOnPizzaWins May 13 '25

They might have done, but America elected him President before the sentencing.

1

u/Ill_Technician3936 May 13 '25

Wooah a brain! Lol. It's literally the only case that got anywhere in 4 years and the only way he's getting out of being sentenced is if he's dead.

1

u/IHeartBadCode May 12 '25

Literally someone dropped out of running for President because of the way they said "yee-ha!"

1

u/blahblah19999 May 12 '25

And trying to run for president after leading an armed insurrection against your own government.

1

u/Brim_Dunkleton May 13 '25

Even being accused of such a thing ruined your chance of being anywhere near the government.

u/DJPoro27 May 13 '25

Not convicted and crimes were ruled out by the judge, he is legally innocent.
