Talk about the possibility that Trump will leave the country to avoid prison. He's got his passport and plane. Hmmm, can you check to see what he spends to maintain and fly that plane? Who pays for airport fees, fuel, insurance and maintenance?
Sadly that lunatic will probably win the election. How the F are the courts not taking this serious. They are just sitting back and eating popcorn waiting to see what happens. He gets in office again, its going to be hard getting him out. His cult has already proved they will do whatever he wants and militias have already been gearing up for a rerun.
So because traitor trump is insurrectionist and is not President anymore, President Bidon can Whack trump š
Fdt
I hope Trump gets complete immunity. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems that Biden would then have the right to have Seal Team 6 take care of the Trump problem.
What ever happened if he lose he will turn it as it is a political case against him , it is a witch hunt from Democrats to win next election, and keep lying day in and out as usual and his followers will only listen to his lies not ever checking the facts! America is becoming a BANANA republic sadly
All these "fall" predictions are deserved, but it's not happening. His organization is well trained in the brain twisting, and not unlike the days preceding WWII, where I think it's modeled from. Soviets of course know the methods also….
Machiavelli said in either The Prince or the Art of War "You will make as many enemies doing the wrong thing as you will make doing the right thing, so why not do the right thing?" Most likely he said it in The Prince. Faulkner writes in "The Fable" "He was too young to be trusted with the knowledge that the truth is not necessarily the facts."
Trump knows that the only way he can avoid spending the rest of his life in jail is if he has absolute immunity from prosecution. But the only way he's going to get that is if he becomes a dictator; and the only way he's going to be dictator of the US is if he wins the next election, so he keeps arguing that he has immunity from prosecution in an attempt to buy time until the next election, when he hopes and preys that his gullible followers will vote for him. They will, of course, so we can only hope there won't be enough of them for him to win. But it really shouldn't even get as far as the election; he should be disqualified from running, and jailed, NOW.
He's gone worse than mad. He's Manic
Ce tic de langage des Ć©tats-uniens de dĆ©crĆ©ter su un interlocuteur est le plus brillant, le plus intelligent du monde alors que les Ć©tats Unis, c est bien connu, 'e pratiquent aucune autre langue que la leur et comment connaissent ils tous dĆØs la naissance si bien le monde?
Trumps empire of cards has been revealed, and none of his card empire is stable. Nebulous structures, Financial documents that can be described as questionable or shonky have been revealed.
Trump is not President, He is Citizen Trump, who just happens to be an Ex-President.
The more that his deals, his nebulous paper empire and his actions are examine the more he is shown to be more and more of unsound morals, procedures, and business practices. The Republicans should remember that having this person as their chosen leader, this will tarnish your reputation for decades, and may actually destroy the party completely.
Those that break multiple crimes and various sorts of crimes cannot vote in elections so that should also include those that run in elections.
BYE BYE SO LONG GOOD RIDDANCE TRš¦ MP
Karen Agnifiloā¦ you have a wry little smile on your face. I would love to see you as a stripteaser. In the meantime, thanks for the āTrump slice and diceā!!!
What a wasted hour of self serving patting each other on the back. More content about how great you are than anything meaningful.
Trump mobilizes the simple minded. What do the intelligent people do to mobilize the simple minded people.
Love your episode !! I hope things get better for America I love this country with all my heart . Biden is a politician he knows what he is doing, He has a life time records of services for the USA . the opponents have giving him a very hard time .Trump should not be running as a president is wrong so wrong . He is a criminal and a lier avoiding to get charged for his immunity he had as a president he has shocked the world and made looked America insane . He need to removed him self from running for a President of the USA he canāt not get away with this . America is a country of rights and opportunities weāre rule by a law of respect and the constitution .
Not fast enough for me.
Dear brave young Midas peopleā¦ā¦ā¦listening to this podcast, what is to my ears now a lot of rather legal ramblingā¦ā¦. I canāt help to feel that what I miss in most of all these talks about the phenomenon Trump, is some serious introspection into analyzing where did the American dream begin to corrupt the norms and values of a decent society so much, that a large number of people in this vast country choose to support an immoral, lying, cheating (be it on the golf course, in the board or the court room and in front of armies of tv cameraās) power-abusing narcissistic manā¦ā¦.? For your info: I am writing this from the other side of the globe, an old woman born just after WW2 in one of the West-European countries, now spending her last years in South Africa. My country was liberated from the Nazis by thousands of your brave American young soldiersā¦.. since a couple of months Iām following the Trump nightmare saga that reminds me of one of the tales of the Brothers Grimmā¦. The New Clothes of the Emperorā¦ā¦. Rings a bel??? Letās hope that very soon the poor misguided Trump followers will recognize him for what he is: so dangerous for society in his mock-grandeurā¦ā¦.
By the wayā¦ passion is goodā¤ā¦..but it is nothing without com-passionā¦..š and Iām going to listen to old Nat King Cole singing āBut most of allā¦.I wish you loveā (For the old-fashioned educated ones: Charles Trenetās āQue reste-t-ilā)
Brilliant conversation Karen.
Many thanks š
ā if she keeps it up.āššššthere is nobody slamming the judge immediately! The lack of standing up to ALL HIS CRIMINAL ACTS will win him the election. Heāll pardon himself!
So, nothing g new. Still 0 consequences. Whether itās r@pe or ts documents. His yapping is intending without restraint and a garbage dump for feeding his hoards hate and lies. NO GAG ORDER THATS ACTUALLY ACTED ON. INTERFERENCE IS EXPECTED AND TOLERATED.
I Think "Sleepy Joe Biden" should call up a seal team to abduct the Donald at 04:30 and keep him in Guantanamo for about ten months.. "Immunity, Donald! Immunity!"
What does AF stand for?
I believe the Government is only letting Donald Trump get away with all he does. They will soon put an end to him and will make the right decision to save our democracy. They will never allow Donald Trump to be president again. I believe God will protect our great nation against this Tyrant.
not to be a Debbie Downer in this whole immunity argument but
The US government has conveyed substantial immunity from prosecution to its very members on the simple argument that as the government they would be sued for any and all imagined infractions on the Constitution (and personal religious and ethics) just to prevent them from taking official actions that would have a negative impact on the people, in the eyes of the people. For example we have income taxes today because Congress passed a law to establish federal tax. Without such immunity it would be a crime for the government to place a levy onto the income of the people even by an act of Congress. There would be a clear conflict between powers bestowed on Congress by the Constitution and criminal acts that violate state and federal law. So the concept of immunity for government officials is already widely established, and when the public files a civil case against such an action, the defendant is initially listed as "U.S. Government". Trump is in this case talking about absolute immunity which I guess would mean that he would never personally become a defendant (civil or criminal) if for example the US government were found to be acting in accordance with its Constitutional power but specific individuals in the government were acting in unconstitutional ways. Don't ask me the details about this but I'm fairly sure that this is common practice. Texas Governor currently springs to mind in terms of the "battle" that he's having currently with the Biden administration over the laying and cutting of barbed-wire along the Texas border with Mexico. So, official practice vs personal & private practice. This is the whole point of the "absolute immunity" argument, that there is NO authoity to charge the President himself for the actions of the President.
We can therefore imagine that Trump feels that the office is omnipotent if not the occupier of the office itself, and that the PResidency itself bears full responsibility for the actions of the PResident…and presumably their subordinates as well. I don't know. But with Trump, clearly the legal buck runneth nowhere near the executive branch. All credit, no blame? I'm not sure how exactly this would work out. Does this mean that impeachment and conviction are also off the table? I don't know. But yes the question is then raised, would President Trump ever be criminally or civilly liable for anything that he does once elected, even if it is done after he leaves office? (not getting into the "I didn't swear to support the Constitution" discussion. But the basic problem is that once "immunity" of any type, level or otherwise is granted to an official, they can then make the arguent that it is absolute. And to say that this does not make sense because of consequences is not a good argument against that.
As has been said many times, this is where the Constitution should be rewritten to make the answer clear. It shouldn't be up to a judge, even the Supreme Court, to fill-in the blanks of this issue. And what can of worms would that open. I think the problem here is that Trump can even make an argument for absolute immunity to be considered by a court. The court should simply rule on the question put before it, i.e. the constitutionality of his removal from the ballot by the relevant state official (who of course now the GOP wants to have impeached for doing it). The pure answer to the question is to have the justices evaluate that question on their own. If they are led to an answer by a political candidate or party, how ca they ever say that they have done so independently, with an open yet unbiased mind, and much as with everything Trump it just becomes another issue on which they can say that the Deep State has shafted the People's choice of candidate. The spinning of such a decision will be immense. This man can never be told that he is wrong because he refuses to accept the opinion of anyone who disagrees with him. Let's now make that national policy? Personally I think that this is exactly why that amendment was put into the Constitution, and for people to argue that it doesn't apply to Presidents is just insane. It was written FOR ELECTIONS, for the election of public officials. OK Putin would not need something like this, he would just have his people declare Trump to be an illegal candidate, and have him arrested and incarcerated indefinitely just as he has done with Nalvany.
The argument that Trump is making is the exact opposite. No member of the government would ever be subject to legal scrutiny. Forget about "executive privilege". But again I don't think the solution is to look at likely consequences. It should be clear in the relevant law.
If that is what we are dealing with…then make it clear. Otherwise invalidate the law for lack of clarity. Leaving the state to determine on its own who can run on its state ballot.
Trump would then have to deal with the fact that no one has a right to run for public office, no right to be on a state ballot. Separate the issue from the consequences. Or admit that the consequences are driving the issue…and that therefore we are not so much a nation of laws, but a nation of consequences, with the relation between consequences and the laws chosen by the Supreme Court. Or at least by District courts at the state and federal levels.
Anyway I would not say that his position is ludicrous. I'd say that it depends on what you think his position should be. One man's craziness is another mans' sanity, especially when it comes to the law…as our system of laws and rights is just a hash of presumed actions and implied consequences. If you take a consequence-driven approach to solving this, he would never qualify to be President again…but you'd have to grant immunity to whoever makes that decision…and even then I'd assume that they could still be impeached and convicted by Congress…I think that clearly you are dealing with a client and a bunch of lawyers who think they can game the American system of justice, which is what has them in this predicament in the first place. Maybe they're being coached by the Russians. Undoubtedly part of Trumps' core support and undoubtedly the justification used by the GOP to support him. "He doesn't do what he does because it is legally or politically correct, he does what he does because it's the right thing to do in response". Honor among thieves. "Actions have consequences". He's 77 years old. He doesn't need to wait until he turns 18 and moves out of the house to get back at his parents for punishing him for doing what he thinks is the right thing.
The question is "Mr. Trump if President Biden has you assassinated by Seal Team six, does he have absolute immunity?"
If only some of these titles were indicative of reality. Trump could become president again. And as long as he's allowed to run, you can take all of his supposed problems and toss them in the trash.
If I may, as a non-legal voice from the cheap seats, and regarding Pres. Obama: I completely agree that he was a marvelous person and an excellent President. I would also observe, however, that politics – especially here in the U.S. – is a hard-ball sport, and President Obama just didn't play enough hard-ball, or perhaps he had too much faith in the American electorate and therefore didn't use his bully pulpit as effectively as he could have or perhaps should have. Then again, back in 2015 no one saw the possibility of a Trump win, and the electorate just wasn't warned as it should have been about just how duplicitous and manipulative the Republicans can be (and are). Hence not enough voters saw through the choreographed disguise of Trump, plus too many Blue voters stayed home because they couldn't be bothered either way. Based on all that I've been reading about that time, and from my own recollections (I'm a retired Naval officer), I just don't think that Obama did all that he could have or should have to prepare the electorate for the 2016 election. Yet, having said all that, I miss him greatly.
WE Americans are in danger with SATAN helping his demon ADolf Trump and other demons like Cruz USA is in DANGER !!!!GOD help us!!!
The only thing I didn't like about Obama was he should have stopped the Russians in Crimea/ Donbas! Now we have a bigger problem!
And people vote for Trump! What is wrong with these people???š®
Trump has a really big brain.. caused by syphilis unchecked.. smells like MAGA SHITSHOW again š© šš VOTE BLUE ššŗšø
So if Trump is right, Biden can order Trump killed with no consequences. Look out Don if you win your case, you die.
Imagine how slow the wheels of justice would turn if every defendant was given every possible appeal objection and delay tactic that Trump has been able to utilize to try to get a get out of jail free card
But he has a million indictments
Lock him upš
How can a person in trouble for all of these things, even treason, be allowed to run for president, but a felon from selling drugs cant even vote, What? …please let us know.
Thank you Karen for saying it outloud. There IS a white male prerogative in the law . Add to that the Georgia AG happens to be black. You amaze me . And give me hope.
BULLSHIT
