What is this insane rambling? Trump being indicted is very bad for him. Period.

The media suffocating the airwaves with nothing but Trump did lead him to win the Presidency once already.
Let us not underestimate the damage they can enable through MAGA 24/7.

They did not blanket us with coverage that he was a criminal.

2016 broke a lot of people’s brains.

You underestimate how fickle these "independents" are, and how willing some of them will be to buy into the "Trump is a martyr or victim of political persecution" narrative.

2016 broke people's minds for good reason.

I think in recent years my understanding of the electorate has performed much better than yours.

Or sorry, is President Trumpkins presiding over a 67 seat Republican supermajority? Lol.

How much traffic chaos have these road closures caused? The route he needs to take into Manhattan and then to the courthouse is closed off for basically 2 days.

Only the sitting president/ president elect visiting leads to road closures.

Ex presidents are not afford anything like that unless they're in a coffin!

THIS IS BAD....
It is VERY BAD that the news media is covering this as if Trump were Tom Cruze or Tom Hanks. LIVE ON TV this very moment is the Trump motorcade driving in NYC. So here we go again, this F-ing 24/7 news coverage of Donald Trump and we know what THIS gets us.... a president Donald Trump.

I am soooo sick of the news media and especially the liberal news media giving Donald Trump so much attention. Its perverted. It's TikTok-ish. It's the #1 problem in America and the #1 cause for harm to America. This enables Donald Trump to be Donald Trump.
And Donald Trump LOVES THE ATTENTION.
As they say, even bad news coverage is good news coverage for the celebrity.
This makes me absolutely sick.....

Maybe the Q's are right after all. Maybe Donald Trump is the president and Joe Biden only a puppet. CGI. Fake Joe. I wonder.....
Change the fucking channel?

I haven't seen one second of the coverage, because I'm not seeking it out like you are.

They better not orifice search Trump. There's no telling what's up in there. The Republicans could end up with twelve more votes in Congress.
Anyone seen Rudy lately? Donald might've given him discounted rent. :laughing:

Check again. Street where orange monkey tower is, is shut down. Also the route to the court until he leaves.

I'm just wondering what I should get to toast with tomorrow - a nice bourbon or perhaps just a nice Chimay.

Well, if you really weren't paying attention, you'd think he had been assassinated, and they were flying his coffin home to bury him. Motorcade from Mar-A-Log to Plam Beach Airport, plane taxiing on the runway, take off from Palm Beach, plane on approach to either LaGuardia, or Kennedy Airport, deplaning motorcade..... Seriously. I guess it's time to buy pop corn.

This should fire up some people shouldnt it? Finally accountability and proof that noone is above the law? Should reinstall some faith in the system…

I dont watch TV. In fact thanks to the switch from Xfinity, I cannot watch TV.
But I bet if I go to the usual outlets I will hear and see all kinds of horse shit. Thats why I just took care of chores around the house when I got home from work today.

This aside if Manhattan were smart they would get rid of all cars that aren’t taxis or delivery vehicles.
My cousin has a rent controlled apartment in Manhattan and a parking place in the building's basement garage. Drives to his house in Poughkeepsie in his car. But to get around NYC I guess he takes the subway.

One reason demonstrations in Manhattan are controllable is there's no parking for the Maggots.
