Followed the trial and absolutely agreed with Glen. It has become a banana republic! The law is not supposed to be political! What a shame!
Why does John find Trump so detestable? Because he has not done his homework. Like so many of our friends and family, he has suspended his critical faculty and believes all the half truths the media has dished out. Poorly done, John.
A touch of Times fever, the Morningside Heights Woke variant.
John McWhorter is basically a snob. He seems to find Trump distasteful socially, rather than real substantive objections to his policies.
The best he can do is name call.
Or maybe he sees the obvious, that Trump is a criminal dirtbag?
Basically 🤷🏽♀️
That’s the part I can’t understand. He must feel financially secure enough to be immune from the consequences of all Biden’s terrible policies. This isn’t sustainable. It’s impossible for me to understand how any serious person could be voting for POTUS based on his personality. You don’t know either of these people. You won’t spend time with them. You just need them to fly the plane. By any objective measure Trump did an exponentially better job than Biden or Obama. It’s so predictable. Obama’s first term you had collapse of Libya, Syria, Iraq. By his second, an Islamic caliphate chopping heads off and slaughtering people in Europe and war in Ukraine. Then Trump came in, defeated said Islamic caliphate, no war in Ukraine, didn’t start any wars, and then he brokered more MidEast peace deals than all previous presidents combined. Then Biden comes in, goes back to Obama policies and we have the collapse of Afghanistan, back to war in Ukraine, another war in Gaza, Iran firing missiles at Israel and a war in Lebanon imminent. Meanwhile; Russia nuclear subs are off the coast of Florida, and because of the open border we’ll almost certainly be hit worse than 9/11 between now and January 2025. So we’re at a crossroads where the options are to either fall into massive wars on two continents while jihadists are pouring into our country through the front door or don’t do any of that, secure the border, finalize the Israel/Saudi peace deal and another between Russia/Ukraine, and stop paying for $4 gas. I mean, if this is a tough call for anyone then they’re either blinded by their irrational hatred of Trump or completely insane.
Yeah, I bet you don’t think he’s a snob when he’s denigrating and talking about the lack of morality of black people.
“If his name was not Donald Trump and if he wasn't running for president … I'm the former AG of in New York, [and] I'm telling you that case would've never been brought.” - Andrew Cuomo
He's not criticizing Trump's policies: he's criticizing Trump's personality.
Glenn's paid to much to tell the truth. Not a chance he's stupid enough to believe his own bullshit.
You can say whatever you about Trumps personality... For me, I'm still voting for the convicted felon.
@bromack3 I wouldn't expect anything else. He loves the poorly educated as they love him back☝️
Nothing makes me laugh harder than people who vote against their own interest 🫡
@@edgeman6554nou
@@edgeman6554 You really need to get out of your political "bubble" and talk to more every day people. Its ironic to hear you suggest Trump supporters are dumb. If I was using that trobe as a reason not to vote for somebody, I would say it belongs more on the left. Its insane to vote for higher gas prices which is what you get in voting for democrats... totally insane and dumb. I'm curious, why would you say people are voting against their interest? 🤦♂🤦♂
Dr. Loury’s face around 6:20 as he’s listening to McWhorter’s melodrama is hysterical. He’s dumbfounded by the tds. As we all are. 😂
It was priceless and very much mirrored most people who don’t ONLY read the Times and Washington post.
According to Jonathan Turley a constitutional scholar there is plenty of grounds for appeal
The case was a total abomination.
What happens if Trump loses election and afterwards the case is overturned on appeal.
McWhorter's TDS is hysterical.
This is Sam Harris all over again. Respectfully, John thinks Donald Trump is so morally detestable that to commit an immoral against him is justified because “We can’t have him”. Not the best look for John
No, not the best look for you. John is spot on.
In fairness. I can see why some people might think Trump is a dangerous crypto-fascist. He likes to taunt his opponents with that sort of rhetoric, and then play dumb. But I don't think he's actually a major threat to democracy.
@@andybrice2711 Actually, Trump is a counter-puncher. He doesn't start things but, when someone goes after him, he is a savage back to them. The whole Rosie O'Donell beef was started by her calling him names before he ever entered politics.
@@ritasicari7518 I'm not really talking about his beefs with individual people. I'm more talking about his general enthusiasm for wading into culture-wars and stirring them up.
I'm sure I could think of some similar people on the left too.
@@RJMac1982
Probably not.🤦
John reminds me of Sam Harris. TDS is quite the thing. Proof that being highly educated is not the answer
I think John Mchworter has 2 personalities. I think he is totally correct on some positions, but when he starts talking about republicans... not hardly.
Real educational and a thirt for true knowledge is the only possible way.
John is quiet because he doesn't want to insult the crap out of the dumbass shit flowing out of Glenn's mouth. He's noncommittal. And many things coming out of Glenn's mouth are offensively stupid.
Ditto
I can understand why people find Trump deranging though. He revels in deliberately enraging his opponents, and then playing dumb. He's a master of waging Culture Wars. Now I don't don't think he is a crypto-fascist. I think he's more akin to Silvio Berlusconi. But I can see why some people might be horrified by him. He actively encourages it.
Should the political partisans who incited and encouraged riots in 2020 be allowed to govern, John?
What about russia russia russia, steel dossier, and repeatedly saying that Trump stole the election.
Apparently people only blame people of things that they do.
Or the ones who invaded Iraq and Afghanistan?
Should Glenn be allowed to have a show on YT?
The thumbnail is perfect on this one. The fact that McWhorter genuinely believes that Trump is some evil person is a testament to two things:
1. The honed and shaped tactics of the Madison Ave greats would have them blushing with posthumous pride at how well their tactics worked on the intelligent and well educated McWhorter, who has access to all the same facts and truths as us normal folks lol but still reports Trump as some fiend that he knows personally to be able to tell us who Trump really is and why he hates him.
2. McWhorter has been so taken by these tactics that even he would argue that he has seen all he needs to see to have made his decision about how he feels about Trump and nothing else would make a difference
Where does that ball land… that’s all. John hates him and even as smart as he might be, he can’t and won’t allow himself to be objective. That’s sad.
Anyone objective sees Trump for the disaster that he is
This means that he's not that smart whatsoever.
It means that for all his thoughtful pauses and his careful use of language at the end of the day he doesn't listen yo people who know the subject at hand because he thinks he is smarter than they are.
He's a pseudo intellectual like Sam Harris or Dyson.
He's right and your wrong, no matter what the subject at hand is.
Trump Derangement Syndrome isn't a flaw it's a sign of egotism that will override any facts standing between his conclusions and the truth if they differ in any way.
He's someone who should never be anywhere near a position of power because he would be dangerous.
McWhorter is a fool if he thinks that case won't be overturned on appeal.
John McWhorter has officially been wrong before.
John, it's unbelievable how you could be so smart and so dumb at the same time. My goodness!
Glenn nailed it. John's "why Trump is monstrous" was really weak and failed to name one monstrous characteristic.
He basically doesn't like his personality traits. That's all he has and has justified in his mind that it's ok , this time, to engage in political witch hunts.
This coming the man who thinks he's the personification of elegance, cocktail party charm and gentlemanly behavior
Here’s one- he disrupted the peaceful transition of power, endangering our entire democracy.
Not one‼️😂😂
They never can. I’ve asked several time to give me examples. I just get the usual responses. Trump is a Democrat in disguise. He never has been a “Republican”.
a brother has TDS. I have to tell him over and over "don't phone me to laugh at trump or laugh at republicans".
John has a severe case of TDS. With other topics John is usually very reasoned, thoughtful, careful with word choice, etc. With Trump he reverts to the classic TDS symptoms. Speaks in sweeping generalities such as he is evil, hideous, etc. with no concrete examples of that behavior. The thing I find the most intriguing about this is it seems to be a particular affectation of the left much more than the right. Specifically, as it relates to Trump.
TDS is never specific, just generalities, since Trump's policies make sense. They should have Dershowitz on the show to dissect John. He deserves it. Normally, he is completel rational.
Sigh 🤷🏽♀️🎯🎯🎯
Free men don't need the President of the United States to think about them. The President should be thinking about the country and the Constitution. We elect presidents to manage the federal government, not to manage our lives.
Someday, someone will write a book entitled "Who Destroyed the Rule of Law in America?" The Democrats will be prominently featured in that book.
Since 1860.
There's no way that former President ""Terminate the Constitution " wouldn't have full chapters dedicated to him in such a book.
Glenn is the realist here.
I 100% agree with Glenn on this one. I was a lifelong Dem until all of this woke crap took over. I am now a proud Independent. I do not agree with John at all. Trump did BETTER than Biden in so many ways. I would much rather have Trump running the country than Biden.
The woke crap and the media just repeating these monstrous ideas without a shred of criticism flushed all my remaining trust in them down the toilet. It wasn't very high before either, because I had discovered that most clips of Trump they broadcast are manicured to make him and his supporters look bad, while covering for the Democrats when they do bad things.
For example, Joe Biden's "ain't black" comment was quickly swept under the rug, but we all know that if Trump had said anything similar, the media would play it on a loop from now until the end of time.
Funnily enough, Politico inadvertently debunked the racism narrative about Trump already in late 2016 by showing his significant support among Hispanic and Asian voters.
To make it short and sweet - the lawfare is BS but I'm ok with it because it's Trump. Loss of respect for McWhorter.
how can John be so clueless about this? he's so on-point with everything but this huge neo sign banner flashing 'POLITICALLY MOTIVATED PROSECUTION'
Dear John,
Please reacquaint yourself with the Constitution and pay close attention to the 1st and 6th Amendments. Also, the fact that you openly admit, let alone agree with this political prosecution being carried out speaks volumes about your inability to separate objective facts from your feelings.
Wrong is wrong regardless of who is at the receiving end and most especially, your feelings about them for that is what makes being principled so difficult and yet so rewarding and is the very lifeblood of what makes our country so unique. If we lose that (as it seems you’re perfectly fine with doing) then governmentally, we are no different than any of the 3rd world countries for which we wag our fingers at disapprovingly for their backward and corrupt banana republics.
What John? Nothing to appeal? There was no crime, there was no jurisdiction. John is not a lawyer but his hypocrisy is enormous.
I don't know about hypocrisy, but yeah, he's no lawyer.
On the other hand Alan Dershowitz, for example, _is_ a lawyer, and one can easily scare up an hour's worth of videos of him talking about how Trump can and should appeal.
Yeah, I agree with Glenn. This presents horrible precedent and don’t think it won’t come to dominate any nationally important election for the foreseeable future on either side. It’s just stupid and democratic.
The best point Glen made - if he is so bad then it shouldn’t be hard to persuade the country to vote against him. #simpletruth
Not when people don't care. You can use the same argument for Biden. People will still vote for either of them.
McWhorter you have just proved you have neither morality nor ethics.
So true. Here is Glenn, an admittedly immoral philanderer, and yet J. McWhorter sits down with him all the time.
That John doesn’t see that it is a complete political prosecution and perversion of the justice system astounds me.
Oh John, you really want to be in the club where you will talk Trump’s crassness but war criminals can roam the room in those cocktail parties and circles with mofos genuflecting the entire time.
John’s ilk,that club are deeply unserious.
As always, these two wonderful men illustrate calm, decent, patient debate. Imagine - no shouting the other one down! They let the other speak. And listen. And as much as John loathes Trump, you've got to give it to him for at least admitting that the trial was politically motivated.
Is Trump comparable to any other President we’ve ever had? No, but to brutalise him in this way is not correct.
President Trump’s challenge of the election on, before, and after January 6th is actually A PART OF THE WRITTEN rules, Mr. Loury. It’s actually in the US Constitution. 😂 The procedure was performed in 2016 when Hillary and her supporters in Congress declined to certify the vote! 😂😂
It strikes me that Glenn revels in bantering with his friend, John😊
"There's nothing to appeal." Translation: NYC courts will rule against Trump no matter what, and regardless of the merit of any appeals.
making America feel good again thanks Glenn.
I find it troubling that John is willing to overlook similar behavior by Biden while discussing his distaste of Trump. The question shouldn't be " who is a good person?" but "who will be a more effective leader for the next 4 years?" Regarding the trial, since optics are so important in politics, it almost doesn't matter if the convictions were right or not. What matters is that they were politically motivated. Democracies are fragile, we desperately need the elections to be clearly free, fair, and have a cordial exchange of power when the time comes. At this point in time, we have had 2 elections in a row where the elections were claimed to have been rigged or stolen. We can't allow political use of the justice system or questionable elections to become a pattern. It's existential.
Written rules/unwritten rules: Put them in writing so we can publicly debate their merits and their limits
FREE CHAUVIN
Glenn "Ok John give us a healthy does of Trump Derangement Syndrome"
A race between a convicted felon and an unconvicted felon …
I love both these guys, even with different opinions.
Agreed.
Glenn absolutely nailed it!
The other gentleman has TDS
can you really manage saying this every single time a person dislikes the former president of the united states? is there room to dislike him or think poorly of his character without being labelled this way?
John's stance on Trump is very immature, ironically he call Trump immature for his behavior.
"He's a monster"???? Back it up with why he's a monster.
What makes (insert any politician) any better???
McWhorter writes for The NY Times. What else do you need to know?
Glenn, the one person I would most like to see on your show is one of the greatest thinkers alive today: Thomas Sowell. Among other things I would enjoy seeing/hearing him educate that idiot McWhorter.
He's too old and frail now, but he is a gem.
@@FUToob He may be old and frail, but he can still easily handle a moron like McWhorter.
John is such a good and smart guy but he’s got a plank in his eye. There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Let's be honest. Glenn is voting for Trump. Lol.
If I listened mainly to mainstream news and had a long time acceptance of at least some liberal ideas his point of view would not be totally unexpected. The fact that John doesn't seem beholden to leftist ideology is what makes his opinion so perplexing. As any number of people have recognized, no one . has given a solid reason to justifie this hostility. Even Sam Harris admits that many of Trump's policies were good and that he benefited from them.
I was a huge Hillary supporter since I first heard of her. She was the first candidate that I have ever supported. I hated Trump and was a severely disappointed when she lost. However, I agree wirh Trump on many things. The UN needs to be shut down. No wars. Got us out if Afghanistan. John sounds like he has been indoctrinated too. All they can do is repeat the usual labels.
Nothing To Appeal? How about they never sad what the actual crime was.
Book recommendation: "Democracy Under Siege: Don't Let Them Lock It Down!" by Frank Furedi
There is no criticism that was made about DJT's time in office that doesn't also apply at least as much to JB. There is no rational basis for the anti DJT stance - it is all emotional along with a fair dose of virtue signaling.
Isn't it kinda funny that out of all the candidates in the 2020 Democrat primary election, the Democrats chose the one guy for whom every accusation they had made against Trump is even more true against him?
Lost respect for McWhorter 🤮
When the history books are written Trump will be about a paragraph. Everything else is just entertainment.
Hell be known for no wars, and Covid and immigration.
He’ll be know for being the only president to be impeached twice and become a convicted felon. Historians will wonder how half the country could have been taken with someone so obviously unfit to for the position.
Nothing to appeal? 😂
I expected more from you Dr. McWhorter.
I've watched your show for years Glenn, and there have been a few times I felt like vomiting. This was one of them. J. McWhorter is silly on this - plain silly.
Glen is right about persuading voters, Biden is a weak candidate. I thought the stormy Daniels case was the weakest he was however found guilty by a jury of his peers which his lawyers picked half of them.
on the flip side a Trump appointed Judge has shown him favor time and time again in the strongest case against him so I hope Glen will acknowledge the seeming political motivation in Trumps favor in the Mar a Lago case.
Ringling Bros.Barnum and Bailey 🎉..Cirkus 🎉...
Glenn is an original thinker, funny sometime too.
Poor John, completely and utterly lost on this. His visceral, irrational hatred of Trump blinds him to the projection in which he and his favored side engage. Pretty sad from an otherwise rational guy.
“(Trump is) A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. A person who cavalierly suggests that a selfless warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peacetime and war should lose his life for treason - in expectation that someone will take action. A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.
“There is nothing more that can be said, God help us.”

I guess he suffers from TDS?
No he doesn’t. He’s just apart of the deep state and he’s on message. 🤷🏽♀️

Biden and Trump are not the answer. The problem with Americans is that we look at the president for all the answers. We as the American people need to have moral values and live our lives. We need to work hard and achieve the goals that we set for ourselves. Don't look to Biden and Trump to do that for you.final piint: Biden and Trump won't live forever.
TRUMP 2024
John, John, John..... So disappointed in your naivete of the legal system, willingness to tolerate so much destruction in the name of partisanship, inability to separate your emotions from the facts and dystopian, reductionist vision.
John says absolutely nothing of substance here. I am happy to hear varying opinions, but his vapid, haughty rhetoric has tired me and perhaps been the primarry reason I slowed down watching the Glenn Show.
I don't like any candidates, there are no good leaders in the US since Reagan ;-(
Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?
yes, by a lot!
I CAN'T BELIEVE JOHN IS SO IGNORANT ABOUT TRUMP. YOU NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED JUST RECENTLY IN GA
Waoh
Exactly‼️🤷🏽♀️
Tds is endless hyperbole
🤔 might does not equal to right; majority does not equal to right because we don’t know how sounded those majorities are at.
🤔 what happens when the other side is holding the might and the majority? Does that mean the other side is now on the right and you the minority is wrong?
When will Glenn explain economics to John? Ultimately that’s all that really matters
In general I love Glenn, but his comments about Trump are always way off...Too bad such a great intellect is willing to massage the facts for his own end.
As dennisdose5697 stated, things were much better than "OK" under Trump. As he said, weak response, Glenn.
Funny thing. Any aware person marvels at the rationalism of the ancient Greeks. We are not so impressed by the irrationalism and 'cause I say so' of the Hellenistic age of Alexander (the not-so-great).
Socrates was the wisest of Greeks for he knew his knowledge and understanding were not only grossly limited. But also imperfect. Which is not the logically necessary self-humbling of a Hellenistic like John McW. He as the man, is the measure of all things. A condition so enabled by viewing 'right and wrong' as malleable sensory inputs and therefore relative ethics. Which no surprise, entertains the base, primitive materialists who still bother with the nyZtimes. Foppisness demands to stay current with the fashion trends of the mostly failed academy.
Situational ethics is not enough to sustain our Constitutional Republic. Nor is it enough to sustain what is left of our failed academy. Therefore it is neither civic nor social serving.
Well, to remember proud-to-be simple Roman farmers easily kicked the crap out of the Hellenistic of the John McW fashion. They just wore out Pyrrhus. Who could not have raised a new mercenary army. Mercenaries do not fight and die for ideals. The simple Roman citizens would sacrifice themself to make sure that was all they could get.
I am not so sure our American military holds those qualities anymore. Due to the irrational and thoughtless tyranny of John McW eager reader.
I fear John is simply so revolted by Trump's Queens working class presentation, that he will say anything. As in his foppish-driven hubris, he believes America still commands strength we do not.
If John was a more serious and less self-absorbed academic? This conversation would be redone after reading VDH's new warning book. Then realize the 50k soldiers who refuse to serve under Biden are largely those religious rural boys. Always our best defenders. As they will sacrifice themselves to protect us from the Hellenistic. Like Pyrrhus and John McW.
So sad. Glenn intellectually understands the danger. While John assumed we are strong enough to indulge his fashion-based ethos. We are not.
Madison took a failed crack at Washinton's Farewell Address. As he attempted to base his thesis on virtue for virtue's sake as a matter of not transcendent logic. After the Constitutional Convention even Madison came to understand checks, balances, and defussions of power were insufficient to secure individual liberty. Yet, the foppish Hellenistic JOhn will dismantle even process. It happened before and we survived. When a mature man does not tempt fate like that. Not even the Hellenistic.
So Madison fully supported Hamilton's religion and morality necessity. Those pesky religious enthusiasts were in fact the necessary guardians of everyone's Liberty. Those proud to be simple virtuous American men. Content of character Americans. Biden began his disgrace of power, by abusing the best of us Americans in the military. Setting our reality of two hot wars and the progressive Chinese dictatorship bullying every country in Asia.
The Chinese are sophisticated. They may choose to act before Trump can restore this situation. As well as our real energy independence by drill baby drill.
Likely something Ping and his non-academic underlyings discuss every day. Should we go for it while we have the receipts on Biden?
Trump can stop the progressive Chinese with trade sanctions. Even just high tariffs. Further, a Queens New Yorker is just the sort of Jacksonian leader who will not back down.
We can not have the remains of Biden for another 4 years. Stalin's bayonette is already through and out of Biden's backside.
John, you are a wordsmith but you are merely declaring certain adjectives that amount to a description of how you feel. You offer no instances save the reporters' view that have been fed to the general public. As an adult you must know that choices are made based on what is offered. And based on what is offered, choose between Biden and Trump. All else is commentary and that is opinion. Your opinion is only that so don't assert it as though fact. Thanks for being able to use the language so well.
TDS
John is not very smart!🤪
Both candidates (actually, every candidate pursuing the office) are monsters. Trump may have removed some low hanging regulatory fruit, but he still greatly increased the budget and deficit. The trade war he began back in 2018 has had global negative consequences. Many like to point to cv19 as the cause of the high price inflation we've seen over the last couple of years, but the ongoing breaking down of global trade is the primary factor. And Biden, who railed against all Trump did in office, has doubled down on most of those policies. Regardless of who wins in November, we're in for more of the same downward spiral that's killing the economy and pushing the world ever closer to the brink of global war.
How was Trump a monster? Be specific.
Every country in the world, actively engages in tariffs and protection-ism so all Trump did was say when everyone else is cheating and you’re playing by the rules you will always lose so Trump used to their tactics, and there was evidence that it worked and evidence that it does work. You have to be selective with it. But of course, I’m sure you vote blue no matter who so you are clueless when it comes to economics.
Only rapidly increasing the supply of currency can rapidly decrease the value of currency.
@@davidwhite8220 Monetary inflation is certainly part of it to be sure. "Inflation" is a bit of a mixed bag. The Fed reserve deserves it's share of blame for where we're at. However, doing things to drive up the cost of doing business also causes prices to rise, which is what the break down in global trade has contributed a lot to over the last 6 years. I recall Trump claiming that putting high tariffs on Mexican goods would be paid by the Mexicans and would fund the wall on the border. Not at all how those things work (and Trump knows it, but lied about it anyway). Tariffs are paid by consumers of the country that imposes the tariff. Look at PPI over the last 10 years to get a picture of how much the price of doing business has gone up, thereby driving prices up.
John, you need to ditch Glenn. He's off his rocker. You can be anti-woke (I definitely am) while also acknowledging that a thrice impeached, illiterate, un-patriotic, convicted felon and bully that is Trump has no place in higher office, or any sort of important job. If we're going to discuss policies, Biden has been exceptional on the economy, foreign policy, education, manufacturing, transportation and the environment. Not so great on immigration, I'll admit. But, was Trump? Where is that wall? Illegal immigration flourished under him as well. I wonder if we can we be adults again and inject some seriousness back into our politics? Or are we now a nation of celebrity worshipping infants who don't read or think critically? We're lucky to have someone level-headed like John still.
Once again glenn nails it
If it was criminal enough for Mike Cohen to go to prison…why should Trump get off?
I really enjoy Mr. Loury but he lacks basic street smarts when it comes to trump. It always amazes me how many people get enamored by him and can't see that he is a snake oil salesman.
I'd prefer him to the racist fascist dictator currently in the White House.
lol. John is such a tds head
John’s right. We can’t have Trump
It’s hilarious when reading these comments!! When John critiques blacks majority of the comments are claiming how brilliant he is and all the praise and agreeing. But criticizing Trump it’s the complete opposite. 😂 😂
Mr. Loury, I've come to admire you, unexpectedly, and I'm halfway through your book, which is inspiring. But your sort-of defense of Trump is baffling. I'll finish your book, then reluctantly stop paying attention to you.
Thank you for this intriguing conversation. I agree with John. I will NOT be casting my vote for Trump.
Glenn shows that he is a team player for the right. By dismissing the changes that occurred under Trump, for example, the abandonment of norms, so Republican officials ignore subpoenas - note that Dems do obey subpoenas and when they refuse there is legal precedent. We also had a clear dismissal of our alliances in favor of dictators. And we had a complete mishandling of COVID. So for Glenn to show care over Ttump's conviction but to be blase about Trump's overall behavrior is unworthy. My question to Glenn - please stop acting coy about Trump. If in fact you are in earnest then you are not worth following. Your anger over the issue of affirmative action is clouding your jidgement.
John’s summation of Trump is more than fair
No, he admitted his perspective is peurile.
All he, or any honest person, has to do is actually meet Trump in person.
Many good people know, like and genuinely support DJT.
It's completely ridiculous and utterly absurd in the extreme.
It’s total nonsense and lacks a shred of evidence or foundation and actual fact.
No, actually it’s not.
Only if you get all your information spoon-fed from Democrat loyalist propaganda outlets.
John is a disgrace
Prior to the 34 convictions, only 17% of Republicans polled said they would be willing to elect a convicted felon. After the convictions, this changed to 58%. The issue is unimportant, only the leader matters to the cult.
What exactly was his felony?
And despite what brainwashed, John McWorter said even progressive legal scholars said he is going to win this on appeal because the trial was absolutely nonsense and BS!
Whereas, with Demos, only the cult matters to the leaders ...
What felony was Trump convicted of?
Why did the judge block testimony that no campaign finance violation occurred?
Why did the judge ignore the recusal rules?
Why did the judge refuse to grant a change of venue?
Why did the judge not require the prosecution to specify, in the indictment, what 2ndary crime Trump was guilty of?
Why did the judge not require that the jurors be unanimous as to what 2ndary crime Trump was guilty of?
Why did the judge not require any proof "beyond reasonable doubt"?
And here's the killer: what would be wrong with Merchan doing his part in "saving democracy" by using "any means necessary" to get Trump?
Prior to the convictions, there was no crime worth prosecuting according to the previous DA and the FEC and the statute of limitations ran out on the misdemeanors.
I'm order to resurrect the case, Bragg "came up with crimes" that weren't even clearly stated until after the defense had given their closing arguments and BEFORE the prosecution.
@@johnobrien5037 Oh, but Demos are sooo against "violating our norms"! Except in order to "save democracy". By ending democracy ... Details, details.

Well, first of all there’s no way you can prove that he gave her the money because of the election. There were witnesses that said it had nothing to do with the election. Second, Bill Clinton sitting in the White House paid $850,000 to a woman for the exact same thing.
Second, even if you could prove he paid her the money because of the election, he’s not the one that would’ve listed it in his taxes. Very expensive tax lawyers would’ve done that. And just like any other American when someone professional does your taxes they’re the one responsible for any errors and mistakes.
Three, Hillary Clinton was in fact, convicted of FEC violations for Russia gate and the money they used they listed ass legal fees and she was fined $8000. She should absolutely be in jail. Because they did that to subvert democracy and attempt to coup by overthrowing an election and interfering with the administration of the Trump White House.
Four, even if you can prove all of that, it’s a misdemeanor and the statue of limitations has expired. They actually passed a law in New York to create a one year window to allow victims to accuse people which is how they manipulated it into a felony. So they literally changed state law so they could go after Trump. But one of the congressman, a black man, a democrat that was a sponsor of that bill is now wanting it reversed saying it’s unconstitutional. Why? Because some women have come forward and use this one year window to accuse him of rape. You just can’t make this shit up!
This is how corrupt and desperate the Democrats are to find Trump guilty of anything. Despite the fact he is the most investigated man in history. They have to make shit up and change laws to make him a criminal retroactively. If that’s not unconstitutional and election interference and committing a coup and a threat to democracy, I don’t know what it is! And the only reason a Democrats get away with it is because over 95% of the media are democrats and considered themselves activists and are blatantly lying to the American public every day.
