@HumptyDrumpf@em_Lazzy Covid was an egregious exercise in power and control. It got far too much attention for disease with a 99% recovery rate.
Trump was snookered by the trusted institutions, along with 80% of the American public.
At 73, I caught it. Got over it without taking the jab.
@SenSanders How about a hearing on the fact that the biggest health problem of USA poor people is obesity?
How about a hearing on why citizens in the USA are considered children until they are 25?
From a Christian point of view, maybe I can explain.
Iβm a Christian, living in a democratic republic.
My faith drives my personal beliefs however my beliefs are mine and shouldnβt be projected onto others
Iβm also a constitutionalist, this is the most important identity when it comes to my choices politically.
I pick my candidates who will protect the Constitution, not necessarily whatβs going to benefit me next year. Too many politicians buy votes.
America, with all its warts, has lifted more individuals from poverty than any other system in history. I want to preserve that legacy for my children and grandchildren. Adopting communist policies, for my personal gain, directly contradicts everything good this country has done.
Is Trump my perfect candidate? nope however heβs by far the closest to it.
This is why this Christian, and sure many others, voted for him twice, I didnβt vote for Trump in 2016..
I hope this helps clarify
Because when he won the first time, then was effective while being buffeted by severe political headwinds, was betrayed by his "allies", then trying and succeeding in keeping most his promises, we knew that God had blessed us .... and the world. That's how!
Quote: "Do the math. In a Senate where Republicans hold 53 seats, Mr. Trump has alienated more senators than he can afford to lose. And as Mr. Trumpβs influence over the national GOP grows, his control of the Senate weakens." https://t.co/iCcnFG3rOP
@brithume To get unfit Senators out of office, voters must pay close attention to the primaries. Texans soured on Cornyn soon after his first term, but no credible candidate challenged him. We had to wait 24 yrs. But that was not certain until DJTs endorsement.
@brithume A paywall prevents reading the article, but the quote infers that Trump's influence is weaker than the Senate gang. This may not be true depending on midterm outcome. 100+ Fed&State pols lost their primaries due to DJT's influence. We will see.
The E. Jean Carroll case against President Trump is one of the strangest civil cases in American history. The foundational problem is this: Carroll could not identify when the alleged incident occurred β not even the year with any precision.
That should have killed the case as dead as a skunk on the road right there.
Without a temporal anchor, no defendant β regardless of guilt or innocence β can mount an alibi defense. Trump, who has maintained detailed calendars and staff records for decades, was denied the most basic tool of self-defense: the ability to establish where he was. That is not a technicality. It is a due process violation at the constitutional level.
Then Carroll produced the one piece of physical evidence she claimed corroborated her account β the dress she wore during the alleged incident. It was subsequently established that the dress was designed after the incident could have occurred. The sole corroborating evidence falsified her timeline.
The case proceeded anyway.
The resulting verdict was then weaponized in a defamation suit β where Trump was held liable for denying the allegation, while being procedurally barred from defending against it, because it was already "proven" in another court, regardless how flawed the procedure was. He was punished, in effect, for asserting his own innocence.
Compounding everything: coordinated professional and physical threats so thoroughly intimidated the legal community that attorneys refused these cases regardless of available fees. When you systematically destroy a defendant's ability to retain counsel of choice, you forfeit the right to a legitimate verdict.
An allegation is not evidence. Process without substance is not law. And a verdict produced under these conditions carries no legitimate authority β whatever its formal status.
Not only is it the right move to investigate Carroll, but every other person involved as well. Trump is owed serious damages here, and there may be a few people who belong in prison for their roles in the case.
