  1. I continue to be astonished by how many Americans continue to be conned by bollocks like this.
    172
  2. Well done America! Your crackpot foreign policy has thrown two heavily-armed opponents into each others' arms.
    102
  3. It would be if it was true.
    46
  4. No. It's how frightened children behave.
    34
  5. I think I hear the sound of the bottom of a barrel being scraped.
    25
  6. What for?
    23
  7. A fair trial is impossible. But who cares? This is just a circus anyway.
    20
  8. Ukraine does not come to an end. It just continues in a different form - something which it is very much used to.
    17
  9. There are people in prison for doing nothing at all. It's nothing to be proud of.
    15
  10. That vital aid can be replaced - without it being used as a cover for aggression and undermining the stability of foreign nations.
    14
  11. Name one lie.
    12
  12. It deserves her.
    12
  13. Who are the Soviets? The term ceased to exist more than thirty years ago.
    11
  14. You've already got one.
    9
  15. Getting Biden out would be a good start in itself.
    9
  16. There's nothing a good embalmer and pharmaceuticals can't fix. Don't worry, Joe will be OK.
    9
  17. He knows how to behave when faced with bullying slimebags though.
    8
  18. He's actually the only hope you've got for survival.
    7
  19.  @OmANnIe  No it hasn't. You confuse allegation with proof.
    7
  20. Adultery being less egregious than treason, corruption and warmongering - then yes.
    7
  21. And both more than Biden.
    6
  22. At least Russia got the leader most people wanted. The same can't be said for America.
    6
  23.  @Stephanie-bl8je  He said Biden was incompetent. Will that do?
    5
  24. If they're still alive and functioning.
    5
  25. Why should she? It would imply this was serious, rather than the shameful farce that it is
    5
  26. Good for him!
    5
  27. The "security" of Ukraine isn't uppermost in Trump's mind. Peace and prosperity for America is - and that means doing deals with Russia.
    5
  28. The Dems have brought this upon themselves by trying to weaponize the judicial system.
    4
  29. Name one lie.
    4
  30. Joe is a wonderful advertisement for the US pharmaceutical industry. He should let us know what he's on so we can all have some.
    4
  31. Time to reverse that, I think.
    4
  32.  @TeasLouise  If the US hadn't sparked off the war in the first place no support would be necessary.
    4
  33. Fauci??And you accuse Trump's followers of belonging to a cult?
    4
  34.  @busterofcoviddeniers  No war for a start. Near full employment. Business stability.... Meanwhile the deficit increases, reaching braking point and America is helping finance a disastrous war which is going to fail, as the retreat from Kabul failed, further diminishing America's credibility in the eyes of the world. This wouldn't have happened under Trump. As for the pandemic, America would have done better if Trump had followed his instincts instead of being forced to listen to so-called "experts" whose advice vastly increased the death toll and whose strategies are even now being felt as excess deaths, especially among the young and middle-aged, continue to mount.

  35.  @mile_high_topher  I get so tired of these foolish analogies between Hitler and Putin. They may make simpletons feel clever, but they add nothing to the debate.
    4
  36. We're going to know before long who's right and who's wrong It's going to be Trump and Musk - but MSNBC will be saved the embarrassment of reporting this because it won't exist any more.
    4
  37. You are deluded.
    4
  38. You don't seem to get it. These tariffs are not supposed to be anything other than kicks in the pants - to have an immediate effect before being rescinded.
    4
  39.  @OmANnIe  As far as one can make out all that has happened is that these people have been exposed as being highly prejudiced against Trump, and therefore in no proper position to judge him fairly. This scarcely counts as being "attacked" and if they are taking part, as they are, in the manipulation of the judicial system for political gain, then this hardly qualifies as "civic duty."
    3
  40.  @alcrow1458  I'm 75 and the only Michael Marshall Smith I know of is a British writer of rather poor fantasy novels. I just wonder why we should give any credence to his views on the current political situation in the US. Or is there perhaps another one?
    3
  41. I'm sure Trump would love to go to jail for a couple of nights. The publicity would be fantastic!
    3
  42. How can anyone trust information when it is peddled by drug pushers?
    3
  43. Without him we probably wouldn't have had covid in the first place.
    3
  44.  @iltsd123  Very much so.
    3
  45.  @dancingisraeli911  What's the cunning plan then?
    3
  46.  @justinj8492  Russia has not failed and Ukraine is not a sovereign nation.
    3
  47.  @KatherineJames-y6o  How do you define a sovereign nation? A nation isn't sovereign just because it claims to be, or America says it is. And even then it's just a word. Follow your own advice and research the history of the area which has now been labelled "Ukraine".
    3
  48. Apart from the four years when he was just that you mean?
    3
  49.  @Sadbuttrue-ThatSwedishGirl  These are foolish analogies. Ukraine was created a mere thirty years ago and by means of a flawed treaty which ignored the geographical and economic realities of the position. The places you mention were Spanish colonies. Donbass and Crimea were never colonies. They were, and are, parts of Russia.
    3
  50. ​ @DavidJ222  Western Ukraine can become America's poodle if it wishes. But Donbass and Crimea stay Russian.
    3
  51.  @WinterGK  Except for the fact that a considerable portion of the population of Donbass and Crimea are of Russian heritage and prefer to be ruled from Moscow, rather than Kiev. Furthermore the very substantial mining and steelmaking industries in these regions were created by and financed by Russia and staffed by Russians. The inclusion of these areas in the newly-created country of Ukraine was a mistake which could have been corrected peacefully, but foreign interest in the mineral wealth has prevented this and led to a bloody and needless war.
    3
  52. It's one last vestige of proper legal procedure left in this travesty of justice.
    3
  53.  @eaman11  This isn't a trial. It's showbiz.
    3
  54. I wish someone would tell me one specific lie Trump told. As far as I can make out a "lie" is merely saying something the Dems disagree with.
    3
  55. Don't use the word "justice" please. You don't know what it means.
    3
  56. Name one lie.
    3
  57. Traumatised toddlers who were in no danger whatsoever from the disease?
    3
  58. If only Obama and Biden had done this instead of starting a war to get them.
    3
  59. It scarcely matters since the country seems to be run by faceless figures in the background anyway. But at least Trump has the balls to defy them.
    3
  60. I would imagine the FBI will be very relieved that their highly suspect case will now not face the embarrassment of public scrutiny.
    3
  61. What will he do with your husbands? And why have you got more than one?
    2
  62. "Promoting American values" is just a euphemism for economic warfare. USAID has been instrumental in deliberately creating instability in countries all over the world. Indeed, if it wasn't for the activities of USAID and other CIA-backed organisations the war in Ukraine would never have happened, and nor indeed would many other wars.
    2
  63. In fact being tried by a jury which cannot be impartial will provide still further grounds for appeal.
    2
  64. More Liberal tears!
    2
  65.  @Stephanie-bl8je  You really don't understand this game, do you?
    2
  66.  @lisal9829  Utter bollocks. He has accomplished nothing.
    2
  67. No. It just means you have to prove it first.
    2
  68. Abusing the judicial system in order to try to defeat a political opponent has demeaned the Democrat party, and the US generally, in the eyes of the world. And still you persist.
    2
  69. Would you?
    2
  70. Thank God there are some legal representative left in America who are capable of halting the rot in the judicial system. SCOTUS is standing up for liberty, freedom and justice in the face of political corruption.
    2
  71.  @Doomskay83  Have you heard of gain of function research?
    2
  72.  @anniejuan1817  Because it would be impossible to find a jury whose members are not prejudiced either for or against him.
    2
  73.  @porecemusnox8805  I really don't know. Perhaps not bringing the case at all would be the best answer.
    2
  74.  @porecemusnox8805  I think every case should be treated separately. A famous film star, for instance, although people may admire him or not, can be expected to have his criminal behaviour separated from his activities as a film star in the minds of a jury. Politicians come into a different category, and politicians aiming for the highest position in the land come into an even further category. To stick to the case at hand it is clear to me that this case has been bought for political reasons, in order to reduce Trump's chances of becoming President. It has nothing to do with seeing that the law is respected. This immediately undermines the proceedings. If you maintain this is not so, and that Trump is just an ordinary businessman caught out in a bit of minor creative accountancy, then the case could proceed. But he is not. He is in a special category and if his activities are considered to be heinous, then the only charge that could justifiably be brought against him would be one of treason. Which is clearly ridiculous. Whoever wins this case, one thing is certain - the law has lost.
    2
  75.  @porecemusnox8805  This scarcely applies if, for instance, the judge was shown to have political affiliations contrary to those of the defendant. The judge in this case faces the same difficulties as the jurors.
    2
  76.  @porecemusnox8805  The Declaration of Human Rights is an interesting document, but one which suffers from close examination. All very worthy - but is it all practical? But, once again sticking to this particular case, Trump is not nor ever can be Mr or Mrs Smith. He is in a category of one. It really doesn't matter all that much if he is guilty or not. What matters are the reasons for the state bringing the prosecution in the first place. They could very well be more reprehensible than the crime itself - so where does that put us?
    2
  77. NATO is defunct.
    2
  78.  @CarreraTrack  Ukraine and South Korea might be slightly worried. But they're only foreigners, so it doesn't matter.
    2
  79.  @michaelrowsell1160  And nor for venal greed and hypocrisy either.
    2
  80.  @busterofcoviddeniers  Haven't I already answered you?
    2
  81. It's odd, isn't it, how every cheap trick used to bring Trump down just backfires?
    2
  82. ...to distort their words, as this channel would undoubtedly have done if it had access.
    2
  83.  @petermartell568  Which no longer exists as a feature of government in Russia.
    2
  84.  @emsleywyatt3400  Absolute rubbish.
    2
  85. Joe Biden is little more than a Deep State puppet who uses the word "democracy" to justify a career of personal advancement. How anyone can fall for this blatant hypocrisy defeats me.
    2
  86. Democracy isn't a competition, though it might sometimes seem so.
    2
  87. This is faked evidence, planted by the FBI. Is there no limit to their wickedness and your gullibility?
    2
  88. People are at last starting to think for themselves instead of believing the crap churned out by channels like this one.
    2
  89. Name one lie.
    2
  90. Ukraine addiction withdrawal symptoms can be quite severe at first. Truth is both a substitute and a cure.
    2
  91. The man's a disgrace to the bench.
    2
  92. This makes so much sense. No point dragging the war on with more and more people getting killed. The US already bears a huge responsibility in this tragedy.
    2
  93. Ha it ever crossed your mind that having much closer relations with Russia could be a very good thing for America?
    2
  94. No. He just hasn't been conned rotten in the way you have.
    2
  95. Hi there!
    2
  96.  @vercoda9997  It tells me that the British, on the surface at least, still have some respect for the judicial process. It is not proper to comment upon court cases that are still in progress. If the case was happening in the UK it would actually be illegal- or at least extremely dangerous - to do so.
    2
  97. I admire his spirit in standing up to this biased judge and his kangaroo court. This case is bringing Donald more votes every day.
    2
  98. Yes. Several million times yes.
    2
  99.  @ltho5616  Where's the treachery? We are not at war with Russia.
    2
  100. So America has a judge who isn't suffering from TDS? Who's have thought it?
    2
  101. It has never really mattered what the jury decides. It matters even less now.
    2
  102. The complete reverse is true.
    2
  103. The only ethics Biden and most US politicians have is trying not to get caught.
    2
  104. He only got busted BECAUSE he was running for Present, so it only seems fair.
    1
  105.  @Justintime486  Not enough - but it's a start.
    1
  106.  @o1badmofo763  Yup. You're right. That's why America is doomed.
    1
  107. Surely he's stopped being orange and has gone gracefully grey? I know they touch up his picture on some mad Derangement Syndrome channels like Meidas Touch, so perhaps it is these you have been watching?
    1
  108. Yup. Biden's got a lot to answer for.
    1
  109. Zelensky is not an American ally. He is the puppet of a former American administration - and one who hasn't kept to the terms of his contract.
    1
  110. Trump can never have a fair trial. There is no-one in America who has not been subjected to daily barrages of hatred against him by this channel and others like it. Therefore there can be no-one in America qualified to sit on a jury and be expected to be impartial.
    1
  111.  @Mathew-8896  I would not find Trump guilty under any circumstances, since to do so would be a political act, and not one concerned with justice.
    1
  112. I don't see how it is possible for the jury NOT to be either prejudiced against Trump or prejudiced in favour of him. This trial is pointless other than as a political gesture.
    1
  113. Biden will win. The Deep State needs its puppet.
    1
  114.  @leed206  None whatever. I guess you might be having problems with selective memory, however.
    1
  115.  @OmANnIe  I was referring to the people you were referring to not to the jurors as selected, although there is every chance that they too will be prejudiced against Trump. In fact, given the never-ending demonization of the man on this and other similar channels, there seems to be little chance of finding anyone in the entire country who can bring an unprejudiced view to the case. Doubtless this will be one of the many reasons for appeal when this present stage of the farce is over.
    1
  116. Who he?
    1
  117. He's planning on what he's going to do with the judge and the prosecutors when he gets back to the White House.
    1
  118. He has every right. As a Brit I have to say that I find the US justice system utterly corrupt and contemptible. It's like something out of the18th century.
    1
  119.  @Mathew-8896 A clearly politically biased judge sitting in a trial which clearly has a political rather than a judicial motive. Putting witnesses on the stand for the purpose of attempting to denigrate the defendant instead of providing evidence relevant to the charges - charges which in themselves have clearly been dredged up from a series of technicalities in order to denigrate the defendant, rather than to punish a wrongdoing.
    1
  120.  @Mathew-8896  Thank you also. Trump may well be guilty, but those who have engineered this charade are guilty of a far greater crime.

  121. Kansas is suing Pfizer alleging serious health damage as a result of covid vaccines. There is little doubt that these procedures have resulted in adverse side-effects- including the most extreme side-effect of all. A full investigation is needed as soon as possible.

  122. I find it mysterious how brainless people can be brainwashed. It really is an anomaly.

  123. He is America's only hope of staving off the inevitable collapse of its empire. And even then it will only be temporary.

  124.  @spir5102  God, you're pathetic.

  128.  @lisal9829  History will show that America was ruled by crooks, charlatans and warmongers, hiding behind puppets - until a shady property developer from New York came along and blew the whole scam wide open. PS I already have four grandchildren.
    1
  129.  @lisal9829  The history of the collapse of the American Empire, you mean? My grandchildren (already born) will probably be reading it before they reach my age.
    1
  130. The only thing Donald Trump is guilty of is being Donald Trump.
    1
  131. This could well be true. Navalny's death did not suit Putin in any way. And there is considerable evidence that the man was a CIA asset.

  132. Funnily enough people are still dying to this very day on account of the things that actually WERE done..

  133. It's doing a fine job all on its own.

  135. Is rejection of untruths really ignorance?

  136. People have just got to get used to the fact that Zelensky is no super-hero, despite having this illusion rammed down their throats for years.

  137. An opponent defeated on the word of a prostitute? What glory.

  138. Bannon is a hero for defying state fascism.

  139.  @laurentdeteix3009  He too knows how to stand up to bullying slimebags.
    1
  140. Trump is creating a new and better America. And that means tearing down the old, rotten one.
    1
  141. So good to see a judge who has respect for the truth. These "new evidence" photographs are fakes. The FBI turned off the security cameras and planted the documents. The FBI is a disgrace to America and should be disbanded.
    1
  142. So what if they do? Trump has won in the eyes of the electorate.
    1
  143. So the plan is to to impoverish Trump my manipulating the very wonderful and corrupt judicial system, and then accuse him of being corrupt because he is poor? How very cunning, I don't think.
    1
  144.  @Doomskay83  Well, if is true (and it probably is) that Fauci approved gain of function research on viruses and farmed it out to China to get around US regulations, then covid was created in the Wuhan lab as a direct result of policies he sanctioned. As far as dealing with the pandemic is concerned, Fauci just made up stuff as he went along and we are suffering still from the result of over-reaction. Masks have led to children being traumatised, and lockdowns and social distancing have damaged the economy and the education process. As for the mRNA vaccines, while it is easy to see how they have meant immense profits for the companies which produce them, their health benefits are far less obvious.
    1
  145. Anyone who has suffered from the callous indignity of the US judicial system will sympathise with Defendant Trump's rage, and approve strongly of his defiance. Another vote winner.
    1
  146. It's so wonderful to watch the long, long campaign of anti-Trump propaganda crumbling into dust.
    1
  147. It really is true that those on the Left have absolutely no sense of humour.
    1
  148. Despite her manner she is probably quite right to question much of Fauci's behaviour.
    1
  149.  @porecemusnox8805  Because Trump has been subjected to so much vilification and so much praise that it is near-impossible to find anyone sufficiently unbiased to judge him fairly. But judging him is not the issue He is before the court to be pilloried, not to be judged. This trial is a theatrical proceeding, unfitting to be staged in a proper court of law.
    1
  150.  @Robert-gb7ex  And either answer should have disqualified them.
    1
  151.  @porecemusnox8805  I see my original reply has been deleted by YouTube's new woke/fascist algorithm. May I refer you to a simpler version supplied to @anniejuan1817 elsewhere in this thread.
    1
  152.  @porecemusnox8805  Among other things, yes. I might also qualify my statement to say that anyone who has been living under a stone for the last six or seven years might just qualify.
    1
  153.  @porecemusnox8805  I have not read the indictment, nor do I need to. I have glanced at it, and it is clearly a farrago of nit-picking lawyerspeak, designed to obfuscate rather than to inform. I repeat: this case is not being brought because wrongdoing has come to light. It is being brought because alleged wrongdoing has finally been uncovered via a sustained campaign of vilification directed against one man by a corrupt state, fearful of losing an ill-gained power and authority. This undoubted fact undermines any procedures which may be in place to ensure fairness in judicial proceedings. When a game is being played with loaded dice, the rules of that game become fairly irrelevant.
    1
  154.  @porecemusnox8805  It's not a question of either liking it or disliking it. It's a question of whether or not such an idealistic attitude is either practical or indeed desirable. In this instance I would suggest that it is not.
    1
  155.  @porecemusnox8805  You're right about one thing - democracy is very much on trial here. It is not the be all and end all way of running a society that people think. It is very susceptible to being manipulated for purposes other than equable governance, and that is what is happening here.
    1
  156.  @anniejuan1817  I don't know that it is.
    1
  157.  @anniejuan1817  It's pretty much a waste of time wherever it takes place. If found guilty, Trump will have many reasons for appeal, and that procedure could take literally years. The only question is how much effect this farrago will have on the results of the election. Not much, in my view. The people who instigated this mockery of justice have the clout to ensure that their guy wins, by whatever means necessary

  164.  @CarreraTrack  Yup
    1
  165. You can. It is.
    1
  166. But the "rule of law" in America has been irredeemably corrupted by its use as a political weapon against Trump. Whatever sins Trump may have committed as a private individual they pale into insignificance beside the crime committed by many public officials - from the top downwards.

  170. @ Of course it does. Isn't this war crippling it?
    1
  171. Naaah.
    1
  172.  @imperfectionist2575  Both cults though. Which is the point. And in fact the "admiration" for Fauci is far more cult-like than the support for Donald Trump. What is more I doubt very much that he deserves your admiration - unless you happen to have shares in pharmaceutical companies, that is.
    1
  173.  @imperfectionist2575  Trump ran the country for four years without starting any new wars and made at least some attempt to rid the administration of the warmongering charlatans who have held the reins of power for so many decades. Fauci, unlike Trump, is a creature of the establishment and I think history will show that rather than being a saint, he is something of a whitened sepulchre.
    1
  174.  @imperfectionist2575  Four years without starting any new wars counts for a lot. Draining the swap - or making a start on it counts for a lot. As for Dr Fauci I have a sneaking suspicion that he is something of a crocodile himself. America has a lousy reputation for its healthcare and for the gross profits made by its pharmaceutical industry. The sainted doctor has been at the helm throughout this period and his behaviour during the pandemic has ben questionable, to say the least. In the light of this I find the way he is worshipped pretty difficult to understand.
    1
  175.  @imperfectionist2575  Dr Fauci is indeed without fault.- at least according to YouTube. Every slightest criticism I make of this sainted man is immediately deleted by them. Which makes me very suspicious. I dare not even attempt to list Donald Trump's several virtues, but four years without starting any new wars makes him an exceptional President, as well as the fact - most important of all - that he is not a career politician but just an ordinary Joe who is doing what many ordinary Joes would do had they been born to great wealth. And that's why Mr and Mrs Joe like him - and wear his nice red hats.
    1
  176.  @imperfectionist2575  Alas the YouTube cult will not allow me to reply. I've had five goes so far. Sorry.
    1
  177.  @imperfectionist2575  Criminals who don't do cover-ups well are not very good criminals. And there are some very, very good criminals in American politics. From my point of view I see war as the keynote of US foreign and economic policy. Trump's main virtue is that he does not see war as good business. Over and above that he is a very ordinary Joe who just happens to have been born into great wealth and has done with his life what a great many other ordinary Joes would have done in his position - right down to getting elected President. Now America has to choose between the Uniparty and MAGA. History demands it. Having said that, Biden is almost certain to win this election. The Uniparty and the criminals will see to it.

  185. Maybe he should have taken bribes from the Chinese and the Ukrainians while he was in office. It all adds up, don't it Joe?

  186.  @mile_high_topher  No. Because they are Russian and the government in Kiev has let them down pretty badly.

  187.  @mile_high_topher  This difference of opinion is what the war is all about, On the one hand you have 300 years of history, on the other a couple of signatures on a bit of paper.

  188.  @mile_high_topher  It's not your fault you've been so brainwashed. Putin has no desire to re- establish the Russian Empire. He's in his 70s, he's got a crap army and he knows from personal experience how trying to rule foreign countries helps cause the collapse of a nation. This myth is necessary to the US and NATO because the US is a war-based economy which needs a permanent enemy, and has to give its more dim-witted citizens a hate figure and a fear-filled scenario in order to justify its constant warmongering.

  189.  @mile_high_topher  This is a myth. Putin is in his seventies, has a crap army and know from personal experience that trying to rule foreign countries leads to the collapse of your own. Sadly though the US needs a permanent enemy and hate figure to sustain its war-based economy and needs people like your good self to believe such nonsense in order to justify its continued aggression and interference in the affairs of other nations.

  190.  @mile_high_topher  The population of Crimea and the industrialised areas of Eastern Ukraine is substantially Russian. They were imported to work the mines and factories to replace the original Tatar inhabitants.

  191.  @mile_high_topher  I think the people involved care quite a lot.

  192.  @mile_high_topher  No. They are reasons. And it worth remembering that if Russia's proposals to end the difficulties had been accepted there would have been no war and thousands who are now dead would still be alive.

  193.  @mile_high_topher  Greed is to blame. Russia could have stood by and allowed a vast fortune to to be taken away from it, and there would have been no war. Ukraine could have agreed to allow Donbass to become independent and there would have been no war. America could have given up hope of getting hold of the vast fortune and there would have been no war. All in all, of the three greeds I think America's is the most blameworthy.

  194.  @mile_high_topher  He might want to in a dream world, or in the world of fantasy our leaders sell us in order to encourage war fever, but not in reality. He may be a tyrant and a dictator but he is far too sensible to embark on anything doomed to failure. You should read an essay he wrote just before the invasion. It is available on the Internet and makes his position very clear. It was written purely for internal consumption and is therefore not propaganda in any form. He says that the Ukrainian people and the Russian people are the same people, from the same stock, but if the Ukrainians want to turn to the West and split the family then, as sad as this is, it must be allowed. But they cannot take the family silver with them - or in this case the $14 trillion of mineral wealth lying beneath the soil of Eastern Ukraine.

  195.  @mile_high_topher  Putin has no such desire. He is far too sensible to embark on a course which would be doomed to failure, and he said as much in many essays, articles and interviews. What you have to realise is that constantly representing this as a threat the West's war machine stoke war fever and justifies its existence.

  201.  @josephrunnion1473  I know that it is a principle of law that jurors should not be prejudiced either for or against a defendant. Given Trump's position and the constant barrage of hatred directed against him in the media I would contend that it is unlikely that a jury of twelve impartial people can even be found. What's "Legally Blonde", by the way?

  213. Yes USAID was interfering in the free market economy of the energy industry in Ukraine, with a view to forcing Musk's Starlink to take an active role in the war. That's just the sort of dangerous behaviour which makes USAID such a threat.

  243.  @MariaMartinez-researcher  The point I am making is that none of you seems to be able to name one of these lies which seem so important to you. You have made a brave effort, but you have named only one "lie" which is not, in fact, a lie but simply a different interpretation. The distinction between killing a baby and allowing a baby to die is pretty vague, wouldn't you say?

  262. If Trump does manage to regain office I hope he devotes some time and energy to prosecuting all those who have lied, cheated and manipulated the law in a vain bid to do him down. Orange jump suits all round.
