What convictions?
He himself has one conviction (civil, not criminal) so far, for sexual assault on E. Jean Carroll.
The people around him (Bannon, Manafort, Flynn, Weisselberg, etc.) have many convictions, including guilty pleas. If you include the January 6th insurrection, hundreds of them.
And his charity org being found fraudulent, etc.
Important note, it did not meet the legal definition of rape for NY because they define it specifically with sexual intercourse. In common terms however we'd of course call it rape.
And to think only a few decades ago, Bill Clinton was nearly impeached for receiving extramarital oral sex and lying about it, all the while the general public not knowing he palled around with Jeffrey Epstein...ah, simpler, dumber, but still monstrous times.
The same way Trump palled around with Epstein?
One of Trumps major talking points in the 2016 election was Bill Clinton was a disgraced president because he was impeached. He even hauled around Juanita Broaddrick to stick it to, checks notes, Hillary?
Such a fucking scum bag. Of course those accusations are credible but his are completely different.
Absolutely none. These people are rabid in their wrongness, and are incapable of any rational thought. Just a constant drone of “orangemanbad” playing over and over in their heads.
Right? People just hate on things that are harmful for no reason. "Orangemanbad" "Carbonemmissionsbad" "Snakevenombad" "Christofascistwannabedictatorbad"
Fukkin snowflakes.
I get that you’re being sarcastic, but you know what? You’ve changed my mind. Trump was as bad as carbon emissions and snake venom. Did you see his followers walking aimlessly in the capital on January 6th? Thank god that rebellion was quelled and we installed the, “better choice” that tangibly made American lives worse to fund a quagmire war in Ukraine. Then, after a complete lack of pushback, because, “at least he’s not literally Hitler,” he went on to hurt our lives even more to commit ACTUAL genocide in Gaza, using American livelihood to fund it,
But you know, nobody on his “team” dressed up in a bear skin and larped around a defunct government building. So, you know, he’s the good guy.
No, but I did see them vandalizing a building I pay for, smearing shit on my walls and damaging priceless historically important artifacts. I saw them stealing government laptops and trying to sell them on eBay, and they did all of this at the behest of a rejected president who was trying to whip the mob into more overt and brazen acts.
I actually don't have a problem with supporting Ukraine. I think it's a damn shame that we are cutting blank checks to Israel, who is currently in the act of committing genocide, instead of supporting a sovereign nation trying to defend itself from the literal war crimes being committed on its people by a very large and very corrupt neighbor.
Biden is commiting genocide in Gaza? That's a big jump. Don't act like Republicans are doing the right thing here and resisting Biden's support for Israel. They were practically tripping over themselves to send money to Israel to kill Muslims. MEANWHILE they are stonewalling attempts to help Ukraine in order to get more racist, anti-humanitarian border policies passed.
I'm not happy about Biden, but I won't entertain for a nanosecond the notion that he is any worse than trump would be right now.
Republicans would be helping out bombing Gaza before they’d oppose it.
