  1. This is the kind of tantrum-throwing adult you get when you never tell a child "no." His disgusting father has a lot to answer for.
    891
  2. Trump is hilariously petulant and vindictive. A lifetime of getting his own way has made him feel untouchable.
    710
  3. There should NEVER be such a thing as a "Republican judge" or a "Democrat judge". Justice and the law should be the onoly concern. America is despicable.
    668
  4. How the man who wanted the Central Park 5 imprisoned even AFTER they were found innocent, has the BALLS to whine about a two-tier justice system with a straight face, I just do not know.
    615
  5. Least surprising development ever. The irony is that Trump was NEVER a Republican.
    601
  6. Seeing him whine and play the victim, then get exposed as a despicable liar and STILL get the support of the GOP is sickening.
    563
  7. He ruined their lives; why the hell should he live a half million a year lifestyle?
    552
  8. Of COURSE he's thoroughly corrupt. he wouldn't be a Republican otherwise. It's hilarious that the party has become ungovernable. They need to evict 25% of the party to have a chance.
    528
  9. Never forget that Bill Barr did this when he is out now trying to rehabillitate his reputation.
    477
  10. The trouble is, his staff are not experienced liars and scammers, so putting their freedom on the line by constantly lying is stressful for them. So many people sacrificed for Trump's pitiful greed and ego.
    460
  11. Being around Trump must be like being around a guy whose wife just kicked him out and he's constantly whining about it. Sooooo boring.
    357
  12. His own taxes have so much criminality to reveal, that he assumes everyone else's are just as damning. That's why he's fighting so hard to protect them from oversight.
    321
  13. I really despise Habba and Fox. They literally harm America every single day with their repugnant, blatant lies.
    299
  14. Dems playing it smart by staying out of it. "When an enemy is screwing up, leave him to it."
    287
  15. Americans who support Trump should feel deeply ashamed, but I doubt they have the self awareness.
    255
  16. How do they sleep at night ALWAYS being the evil guys? I get that they may disagree on issues, but simply opposing ANY legislation that helps the American public is repugnant.
    242
  17. The legal system was never designed for someone as utterly evil or rich as Trump. Much as I dislike Cohen, the idea that Trump can keep grinding him down with demands like this, is repugnant.
    239
  18. So one aged Latino speaks for the whole of South America? Pathetic.
    235
  19. Family values campaigner; sexual deviant? Of COURSE!
    232
  20. Clearly, Trump and his corporation need auditing every year for as long as he lives.
    225
  21. How many goddamned motions is one man allowed to file?! The courts need to fine him more for frivolous motions.
    217
  22. If he is never held accountable for all these threats, any remaining shreds of faith in US justice will be dead. I'm not hopeful.
    216
  23. Yet Trump gets to behave like this with zero consequences. It's a despicable example of the two tier justice system. I have absolute sympathy for anyone who declines to answer to the US justice system. None of us agreed to be lorded over by other people, nor to be bound by their arbitrary rules, and when those rules are so flagrantly applied in favour of the rich, any social contract is utterly meaningless.
    203
  24. How much goddamned time are they being given to hide the bodies? I can't believe any regular citizen would behandled with such kid gloves.
    203
  25. It's almost like rallying behind a single POS is a bad idea. Where else have we seen that story before?
    202
  26. If he's truly a billionaire, this is inconsequential. The hilarious thing is the way that he has drained the GOP like a vampire, of all their money and that of their supporters.
    186
  27. DeSantis arresting him would be hilarious! Talk about creating your own enemies.
    182
  28. McDougal managed to cope with her guilt for 10 months as she wrecked another woman's marriage, and lived the life on Trump's ticket. Her apology is worthless. that said, Melanoma did the same so, zero sympathy.
    175
  29. Marj, you should refuse to come to work until the money is refunded. If you were really serious, you'd quit in protest.
    169
  30. I just hope that Dems could promote themselves during elections. Too often, they do things in silence and get trampled in the ballot box.
    168
  31. I passionately despise GOP politicians and their enablers.
    167
  32. As if Trump would have bothered. He didn't even attend a memorial ceremony he was AT because it was raining.
    164
  33. Career ending? Given Trump's despicable score card, NOTHING is career ending in America.
    162
  34. She has criminals Alito and Thomas as backstops for her. Why would she care?
    160
  35. His repeated posts calling Stormi Daniel "horse face" are GUARANTEED to convince the jury that he's respectful of women. 🤣
    153
  36. The "I'm too old to hold accountable" trick is straight out of Futurama and Mom's Friendly Robot Company. If you're tool old to be accountable, you're to old to run a company.
    142
  37. Sadly, McConnell is a smart, effective strategist who knows how to keep his mouth shut. It's a pity Trump's rancid family and him did not learn that lesson.
    125
  38. Why would they give him secret service agents - aren't prisons supposed to be safe? And why should he receive special privilege for the former job he criminally performed?
    124
  39. "Nice wife ya got there - be a shame if something was to happen to her." Could it be more blatant? There need to be a change in the law - this is outrageous.
    122
  40. It's a bout time the Dems replied with some fear porn of their own - especially when they can back theirs up with facts.
    117
  41. Yeah, why would ANYONE use his services after this?
    117
  42. The entire premise of their objection is preposterous. What are they suggesting; that two people working on the same side might share information? Well duh.
    116
  43. "Dear Merrick Garland - I'm scaaaared!"
    115
  44. If Walker is willing to do that with his own life, what's he prepared to do to the fates of everyone else?
    110
  45. I hope her lawyer plays that video in court
    100
  46. Priceless! 🤣
    99
  47. He didn't just help Trump defraud his taxes, he helped him scam innocent contractors to such a level that they commit suicide. Weisselberg is a monster not a bumbling old man. They should all go to prison for the rest of their lives. The worst prison imaginable.
    88
  48. Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father died in suspicious circumstances falling overboard on a yacht, then his daughter's associate "killed himself" in prison but the cameras conveniently stopped working during that time. Perhaps Trump had better watch his back. Here's hoping.
    82
  49. Stripping him of all his fake fund raising money would be fantastic. Imagine him having to spend HIS OWN money for all these battles! If you thought he was throwing tantrums before...
    82
  50. Despicable how long these people can avoid justice.
    80
  51. This is the most support the GOP has ever shown for a black man.
    79
  52. Strip search and detailed mental health evaluation. Publish THAT result.
    79
  53. Presidential pardon power HAS to be revoked for ALL presidents. There's an entire legals system involved in sentencing, and the idea that emperor-like, a single man can revoke that sentence is barbaric.
    78
  54. "Trump "Biden should drop all charges and help the country heal" Also Trump "I'll be a dictator from day one and will get revenge on my enemies."
    77
  55. "One of the most ridiculous witch hunts our country has ever seen" Accountability always seems unfair when you've never been accountable before.
    74
  56. The entire planet
    70
  57. Pathetic, not sad.
    68
  58. There comes a point when you have to blame the "justice" department that refuses to hold the ring leader accountable. Yes, there are maniacs out there, but the criminal in chief is STILL out there hyping them up.
    66
  59. How can she look at herself in the mirror? I'd be disgusted by what stared back at me if I was her.
    63
  60. Harry has eaten candy before the show the past few weeks. Lovely to see him so happy and playful. I really respect him.
    62
  61. The contempt he has for his followers is staggering.
    61
  62. It sickens me that rich people can go judge (or attorney) shopping, and it sickens me that there is such a difference between judges that it would MATTER which judge you were in front of.
    61
  63. So he sued Engoron, tried to get Willis fired, and Gaetz DID get rid of McCarthy. Anyone see a pattern here?
    60
  64. It's NEVER "period" if you're rich enough. There's always another argument, another delay, another excuse. It's sickening.
    59
  65. Why SHOULD he control himself when he never faces real consequences for his worst impulses? this is why the legal system needs to start treating him exactly like everyone else. It's a pathetic reminder of just what liberties the wealthy get to take.
    59
  66. Hannity is still alive? How disappointing.
    58
  67. Seeing him and Mike Lindell destroyed financially is uttterly heartwarming, but it will only be truly Christmas when Trump lies in ruins. I guess I'll have to wait till Christmas 2024.
    57
  68. "ethics?" Gonna stop you right there. He aided an insurrection; I'm sure he's devastated by the ethics committee giving him the equivalent of a stern look.
    57
  69. A year is a pitiful sentence for undermining democracy.
    57
  70. Given that he sued his largest lender Deutsche bank, and the woman who approved his loans was fired over it, I find it highly unlikely that they will appear as witnesses for the defence.
    55
  71. Facing responsibility has NEVER been Trump's thing. He gets doctor's notes or sues his way from responsibility. It's ALWAYS someone else's fault.
    51
  72. No wonder the average person cannot get justice when it's all so expensive. Sounds like a massive grift by the legal profession and judiciary.
    47
  73. The whole Fani Willis case was outrageous. In what possible way would it have affected her case if true? If they wanted to keep their private life private, rather than allowing a consensual relationship private rather than being used as a tool to embarrass her, it's their goddamned business. Yeah, the way Fani spoke in court was unconventional. Normal people have to kowtow and suck up to these awful judges, but she had the benefit of an international spotlight to keep him vaguely honest.
    47
  74. It disgusts me that the law is EVER a matter of which judge you get, or which party they support. Our robot overlords cannot arrive soon enough!
    46
  75. All this shows that justice is pitifully slow.
    44
  76. Awesome - I love it! What a clown Lindell is. 🤣
    43
  77. Of COURSE. Look up "corruption" in the dictionary, and it says "Republican politician." At this point, I'd be more surprised to learn of one that WASN'T corrupt.
    43
  78. Drumpf criticising the changed name pronunciation? Hilarious.
    42
  79. As are the people who still support him.
    40
  80. And from Britain.
    40
  81. Sickening to see the courts acting like they have all the time in the world.
    38
  82. He has used lawfare his entire life to grind down contractors and partners, but now he's finally against someone he can't outspend, and HE'S the one getting ground down.
    37
  83. Why would he EVER stop when there are zero consequences? It's pathetic. Not a single testicle in the entire US judiciary.
    35
  84. As much as I despise who they are and what they did, I still have much empathy with the fact that they believed they were trying to SAVE democracy and following the commands of the commander in chief. As long as Trump and Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity walk free, true justice will not have been served.
    34
  85. Trump wouldn't do this to convert the plane into money that can simply be grabbed. This is about retaining usage of the plane in a way that the courts can't get to it.
    34
  86. Now he knows what it's like to deal with the judiciary as an ordinary person.
    34
  87. Terminally.
    32
  88. I’d love to believe this would lead anywhere but I have zero faith in the system to deliver actual justice.
    31
  89. That could be taken two ways. Maybe she feels empowered to be a lunatic bigot without him.
    30
  90. Beau of the 5th column just made a superb argument about why you are playing Trump's game to argue about the PRA. To summarise, you are arguing a trivial crime, when the real crime is what he planned to do with them. This is all misdirection.
    30
  91. Smith made a critical mistake in not objecting to her from the very start. Her behaviour has been outrageous.
    30
  92. That's because "corruption" is not part of the training course.
    29
  93. It's utterly corrupt. Why should anyone obey the law, when it is so blatantly dishonest from the top.
    28
  94. That's higher praise than he deserves.
    28
  95. Smith has screwed this case up royally. He's trying so hard to appear impartial that he let her walk all over him. Sick of seeing the good guys acting like goddamned wimps whilst the corrupt criminals walk all over them.
    27
  96. They're all totally self-serving.
    26
  97. This is the family that sends Christmas cards with all 5 of them holding rifles. Of COURSE they're dysfunctional.
    26
  98. Shocked - I'm shocked I tell you!
    26
  99.  @bingusbingus776  I just wish the Dems would advertise their successes more prominently. The Medicaire thing is massive and it affects EVERYONE.
    26
  100. She never married for love. The second he's bled dry, she's out of there.
    25
  101. Trump is like a bad tempered Chihuahua, yapping and biting at everything that scares him.
    24
  102. The entire system seems designed to enable corrupt actors to introduce unlimited delays. There must surely me a way to preemptively submit counters to all executive privilege in one go? This is pathetic.
    23
  103. Trump saluting and pretending to be a soldier is especially fucking hilarious.
    22
  104.  @christopher4207  And if they don't, it should be easy to hold them accountable and overturn their their judgements.
    22
  105. Yeah, but when he has a demonstrated tactical and practice of using delays and extensions, surely that must be a consideration in court?
    21
  106. When the judges judge themselves, they can do anything.
    21
  107. I never tire of seeing that family miserable.
    21
  108. 😂😂😂 His endless losing just cracks me up. Soooo much money pissed away. So much flaccid anger! Even if he eventually wins, at least he's spent these years in a constant toothless rage, and now the loss of his influence after the election.
    20
  109. I'd like to think he lives in daily terror, but I think he's too much of a sociopath to care.
    20
  110. Why the hell is it the supreme court's obligation to think about the national temperature at all?! They should be ruling strictly on matters of law, without consideration of how it will be received.
    20
  111. 6:26 Hold up, so Masterworks hangs onto paintings for up to ten years, and recently sold one for a 13% profit, out of which you have to pay them a fee as well?! Always thought it sounded like a scam - now I'm sure of it. That's below the rate of inflation FFS!
    18
  112. No, it's goddamned sickening.
    18
  113. 100%
    18
  114. Not to mention gerry mandering, removing drop boxes, and reducing the number of polling stations to make in person voting as arduous as possible.
    18
  115. The more the merrier. What doess it take to fire the presenters?
    18
  116. Another take, is that he's so disinterested and unthreatened that he fell asleep by the trial.
    18
  117. I'm sick of judges bending over backwards to give him leeway. What other defendant is afforded such enormous latitude? It's absolutely sickening.
    17
  118. Imagine spending the twilight years of your life like that - constantly dodging legal action, constantly furious, terrified of betrayal. All that money and power and it's getting him what? Of COURSE he'll announce. He can't afford NOT to run.
    17
  119. Soooo far beyond fed up. Appalled, disgusted. F***ing furious. Contemptuous.
    17
  120. Until there are consequences, you can get as outraged as much as you like, and it achieves nothing.
    16
  121. As long as the GOP runs interference, they'll largely go unpunished. The question is, when does the larger party act upon their knowledge that he's bad for the party? Only then, will things change.
    16
  122. They already made concessions to Trump , allowing him not to appear in person in front of a parole officers; allowing him to skip the drug test. I'm sick of the concessions to rich people.
    15
  123. Oh my God - wearing HATS in CHURCH? Quick, put them in prison!
    14
  124. For an innocent man he sure does end up whining to the supreme court a lot.
    13
  125. They could help the Dems make one hell of an ad.
    13
  126. I like to imagine that Trump's mood vacillates between icy cold dread dread, and plate-hurling rage as he feels the hands of justice closing around him like the swarm of zombies at the end of Day of the Living Dead.
    13
  127.  @texasca9753  " Hopefully this lawsuit will wipe out those I'll gotten gains and then some." My thoughts exactly.
    13
  128. What a typically American, typically Christian argument "I don't get as much as you so I don't want you to get help."
    12
  129. Harry is such a valuable addition to the channel.
    12
  130. Still peanuts, but I imagine it cost his ego more. Also, a preview of his future hopefully.
    12
  131. I hate that the debate format makes each candidate have to talk fast like a used car salesman. It's no wonder that it becomes a personality contest.
    12
  132.  @osricjohnson3235  Depressingly selfish, stupid people.
    12
  133. Trying to thread the needle between supporting treason, and not repelling everyone else is as craven as trying to pretend slavery was not the cause of the civil war. America needs leaders with character, not driven by self interest.
    12
  134. "You may heard of this MAGA extremist" Well that cuts it down to about 50 million people 😕
    12
  135. "justice" in America? It's for sale to whomever has the most money.
    11
  136. It feels like he's fishing in the hope of a payday to restock the bank account.
    10
  137. Surely this should also affect legacy and admissions and even sport scholarships? Any non-academic criteria could be up for grabs. This could have unintended and hilarious consequences!
    10
  138. Because rich people don't store their money in cash. It's invested in property and investments.
    10
  139. You underestimate the power of bigotry and greed.
    10
  140. Given the failure of prayer, you might as well do a rain dance for justice.
    10
  141. Yeah, that is a concerning trend. It's almost as though stirring nationalist sentiments for recruiting has unintended side effects...
    9
  142. Trump will never get punished because everyone treats him as though he can nuke their families. It's pathetic.
    9
  143. But ultimately, he could appeal any findings all the way up to the... Oh. Houston, we have a problem.
    9
  144. And in Britain.
    9
  145. In any fair world, he'd be ashamed to ever show his face in public again...
    9
  146. Yes, 100%.
    9
  147. When you start with a nation of people who believe in invisible omnipotent sky friends, (but don't practice any of "his" commands,) is it any wonder they throw up so many lunatics?
    9
  148. The inability of a 77 year old, obese man to stay awake during a stressful time, or to control his bowels is of almost no consequence. If he wasn't such a bully regarding other people, it would be deeply uncool to even mention it.
    9
  149. Why would she care? By pretending to be outraged and on Trump's side, she just made more in 6 months losing than she would have made in 10 years running her own firm. She's set for life.
    9
  150.  @amt61 😁
    9
  151. He's turned nothing - he's just a bitter lover. Every single video he turns into a self pitying whine. If Trump hadn't abandoned him, he's still be doing exactly the same heinous stuff. It sickens me to see Meidas platforming him as though he was anything but a self serving grifter. But then I'm still far from convinced that Meidas is not just a grift...
    9
  152. It's time the Dems starting giving a middle finger to the rules.
    8
  153. I'm glad that she placed justice first.
    8
  154. Let's hope not. But does someone a DUTY to be reachable by the courts?
    8
  155. The entirety of this term is simply pursuing the criminality of the previous one. I'm sure that's their plan.
    8
  156. And the utter division of US society, enabling the worst of bigotry.
    8
  157. If he's smart, Dearies is doing this to avoid any taint of corruption upon his own reputation.
    8
  158. "Kevin McCarthy's being a Jackass again." Written on his business cards isn't it?
    8
  159. Noem is starting to get tetchy. I think this is rubbing a raw nerve. Great. I hope she wakes up sweating over her destroyed career, seeing that poor puppy's face every day.
    8
  160. The evidence for his incarceration gets more and more compelling.
    7
  161.  @NeptunesHorses5909  I can imagine nothing more fitting than to spend the rest of his days in solitary with no way of talking to the world.
    7
  162. It doesn't matter. No officias are ever held accountable.
    7
  163. Yep, with a passion.
    7
  164. Meanwhile, as you're accusing her and Trump of incompetence, they are getting away with exactly what they intended.
    7
  165. Absolutely. So pathetic.
    7
  166.  @lastfirst78  How much Koolaid have you been drinking? Truly disturbing.
    7
  167. This is why I passionately despise politiicians, and especially Republicans - despicably self serving above all. Above loyalty to country; above decency; above the constition; above human lives.
    7
  168. None of it will matter if the case never gets to court.
    7
  169. I don't want diverse; I want honest, competent and uncorrupted. I don't care what colour, gender or shoe size the judges have.
    7
  170.  @cd4683  100%
    7
  171. For the rest of his life
    7
  172. I love that they screamed. They were doubtless all mighty smug about his behaviour up to that point. He's been arrogantly avoiding accountability, and now he's not feeling so clever.
    7
  173. Sick to death of seeing him blatantly getting away threats like this. Zero justice here.
    7
  174. Sentences count for nothing if a future president can simply pardon them on a whim or to pander to other extremists. This power needs to be surrendered. Same for governors.
    7
  175. How is this any worse than constantly ridiculing trump, Gaetz, Cruz and McConnell's looks? Either it's all off limits or none of it is.
    7
  176. He'll be obscenely wealthy till the day he dies. Yes, he regrets it, but only in the same way you regret not getting a free cheeseburger when they were on offer.
    6
  177. How has he screwed his defense if he doesn't plan to take the stand?
    6
  178. "Embrace the human race" Unless you're Palestinian.
    6
  179. I saw no threat. Just the petulant tantrum of a child. Surely, you must know that this channel's titles are as dishostly hyperbolic as Trump's statements?
    6
  180. Hear hear!
    6
  181.  @sloopy5191  Lying during your campaign or in office should be instantly disqualifying.
    6
  182. $$$ greed. Every bad stereotype.
    6
  183. No, he's a genius who thinks he's untouchable.
    6
  184. For a man who spends so much time losing, he's sure not facing any damned consequences. 😠
    6
  185. She's wrong. She speaks for a small but vocal minotrity of maybe a dozen people. Trouble is, like Palpatine, the majority prefer to pull the strings quietly in the background, and they are not interested in conflict.
    6
  186. What low-rent company enters a branding deal with Trump since 2020?
    6
  187.  @AdamBladeTaylor  I agree. Their love of democracy, like their Christianity is just performative, in the interests of their pursuit of plutocracy.
    6
  188. Surely huge cuts of the military would be a good thing? It can certainly afford it.
    6
  189. Mara lago and Trump tower first...
    6
  190. The fact that Trump can afford to, and considers it worth spending all of these hundreds of millions of dollars defending himself across all these cases proves how much money and what else is at stake.
    6
  191. 2 billion dollars to his son in law alone from the saudis. I don't think so.
    6
  192.  @rholyoak  As it should do. I just hope he didn't get so wealthy from this that he was able to retire.
    6
  193.  @yonghominale8884  I was commenting on this single specific incident, not the entirety of political discourse extending back 30 years. Classic whataboutism though. Have a cookie.
    6
  194. So Matt Gaetz is a problem, but this is acceptable?
    5
  195.  @katmartin62  It would be if the American public had memories longer than a goldfish, and the Dems were fighters.
    5
  196. They're going all-in on a gamble for their future careers.
    5
  197. Absolute nonsense. If a person falsely accuses you of rape - a crime that could ruin your life, get you imprisoned, and even killed, attacking them back verbally is restraint in the extreme.
    5
  198. They're beyond shame. But I like the gesture.
    5
  199. In Britain, past behaviour is not admissable. I've always thought that was a despicable law. Past behaviour is absolutely indicative of current behaviour.
    5
  200.  @ArcanumAscent  Carlson's numbers dropped by half from the first show to the second, then Musk disabled the ability to discern viewing metrics, so you cannot possibly know how they compare to other networks.
    5
  201. Yeah, but what was his walking like on the WAY to his bike?! A Fox shill wants to know. 🤣
    5
  202. "DOJ working hard for our country." except the ones working hard to undermine it...
    5
  203. The mainstream GOP would not be able to dump him fast enough. They're all like evil, spineless hostages.
    5
  204.  @drdoloresmize5386  If I wanted to go down the rabbit hole, I could sugggest that NONE of us is ever truly responsible for the person we are. We don't consciously choose our unconscious reactions, nor to become the good or bad person each of us is. I believe that with all my intellect, but I still would see Trump in the electric chair without hesitation.
    5
  205.  @bkm2797  The man worked for Trump for decades. He was hardly an opportunist like all the recent lawyers.
    5
  206.  @snapon666  Which is why I eagerly welcom our robot overlords.
    5
  207. The supreme court needs a Lee Harvey encounter.
    5
  208. I'd be SO ashamed if they were my sons.
    5
  209. The mere request is an admission of guilt. The only problem is connecting it to specific crimes.
    4
  210.  @thesoundsmith  There's no doubt that keeping silent enables the Trump fascists to campaign with immunity, when they should instead be answering for their support. I think the entire system is geared towards protecting the establishment and the office at all costs.
    4
  211.  @cynthiaswingle5134  If the supreme court was not populated by partisan, fake Christian fogies, 30-50 years behind the times, I'd say that the president should have the power to force a case back to SCOTUS, and assign excellent lawyers to the convict at the states' expense. That should absolutely be the limits of his powers. As it is, the whole system is a total dumpster fire.
    4
  212. This is why the world despises lawyers.
    4
  213. The sheer bald faced nerve of Christie, a man who cost an elderly woman her life when he shut a bridge down to get revenge on a woman who didn't support him, is breathtaking. To say nothing of him lying like a beached whale in the sun while he banned all his constituents from going out during covid. You guys have short memories.
    4
  214.  @d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f.594  😆
    4
  215.  @erichnoll874  Trump was president because a lot of people loved his straight talking honesty, but being an honest POC still makes you a POC.
    4
  216.  @konradheumann8342  I agree completely Konrad. Just the way that he ties peeople up for years is despicable. I despise him.
    4
  217. Until she's received a nickel for the first two, what's the point?
    4
  218. Completely self inflicted.
    4
  219. I see you're continuing to run a rehabillitaion centre for criminals at Meidas touch. I'd love to see Cohen get his second Avanati moment.
    4
  220.  @possumj7307  Agreed - divorced in all but legally.
    4
  221. Because society at large has no say in the murder of babies right? That's solely a woman's domain.
    4
  222. You can't seriously think that was complimentary?!
    4
  223.  @randystegemann9990  Precisely. So if this was hurting him personally, it would please me immensely.
    4
  224.  @micheleconner5083  I very much hope so.
    4
  225. When your "justices" are utterly corrupt, what hope have you got?
    4
  226.  @willybones3890  I would have agreed had he not daily stepped outside the court DURING the trial, defaming them still further. What price do you place on the wilful destruction of two people's lives and reputations? They lost their friends, their homes, their communities, and they live in fear of being recognised.
    4
  227. So prosecutors are not allowed to have relationships with staff, and defendants get to choose prosecutors now? This is BS.
    4
  228. I really like Harry Litman - - nice presenter, and without the Meidas hyperbole.
    4
  229. Are you insane?!
    4
  230.  @davidray4793  Nah, no community shares the guilt of its bad members. I don'y know how many gay people voted for him, but if they did, they were not to know he was lying. It's only now that his secret is out that I hold continued supporters responsible.
    3
  231.  @TheForgedReality  Sadly no. It's become the GOP, right wing, Christian go-to move.
    3
  232. Why do you describe her as a "scorned ex" if she ended the relationship?
    3
  233. Naw, that game is only available to the wealthy.
    3
  234. 5 years for a jog around the capitol? Wow, shoulda booked a tour. Much cheaper.
    3
  235. I despise her but positions evolve. Would you prefer politicians who never changed?
    3
  236.  @brianmcnevin1419  No he's not. He's in a world 100% of his own making. If ANYONE deserves to spend their remaining days in abject misery, it's Trump.
    3
  237. Don't you get tired of being wrong Ben? Trump is just months from getting back in power. Canon has managed to do exactly what she was supposed to, and Jack is just another naive prosecutor fight Marquis of Queensbury rules, while his opponent is wearing knuckle dusters and groin kicking. I'm sooo sick of the left being such utter milquetoast clowns.
    3
  238. Desantis is a dangerous man
    3
  239.  @notme2day  I agree, but that's easier to dismiss as lockerroom talk. His comments about Stormi were YESTERDAY!

  240. She can move as far as she likes - the people will NEVER forgive her treachery on Roe v Wade.

  241.  @teresathayn5170  "She and Jared can't stand the scrutiny!" They should have thought about that before putting a dollar sign on their office and America.

  242. Jill is happy and secure because she knows her toad husband (Trump), is not constantly looking for the next upgrade.
    3
  243. Funny? No. Despicably hypocritical? Yes.
    3
  244. That seems pretty ageist. Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves are over 60.
    3
  245.  @anniegoulaheee8025  Being cornered by a guy of ANY age is surely unpleasant. Young guys 1are far more physically threatening.
    3
  246. Maybe, but wouldn't we ALL help our children to succeed in life?
    3
  247. Don't know how I feel about this. I'm glad the system can show mercy. Taking the man's children from him seems cruel and unusual. Unless something he did suggested danger to them, that's a totally separate issue. I have empathy for anyone who was fooled by Trump in the heat of the moment. After the civil wars, the only moral distinction between many of the fighters, was which side won, not what they stood for.
    3
  248.  @2FeCarbon Sadly, I agree. The entire US judiciary appears to be on a naked power grab and integrity or service be damned.
    3
  249. 😂

  250. American Christians CAN'T still be that damned gullible can they?

  251.  @keithferris9574  "He's a damaged human being" And he'll never get better unless he's held fully accountable.
    3
  252. And we do.
    3
  253. If there was a real hell, Trump would be a very deserving candidate to visit.
    3
  254. "Following the data?!" I'm following the data that shows a corrupt or incompetent judiciary at every stage and a brazenly corrupt supreme court standing as backstops. Meanwhile, Merchan has been overly generous to Trump at every possible opportunity.
    3
  255.  @christopherweise438  "a non-fully formed human being " Spot on Christopher!
    3
  256.  @christopherweise438  "The sense of entitlement in him is off the charts." 100%. I think he genuinely feels like the victim when he's held accountable. I'd love to see him in prison for the rest of his life just to give him that belated reality check.
    3
  257. I give Melania a 100% pass on this. She was given ZERO role throughout his presidency, and frankly after that fucking coat and phone call, the less we saw of her the better. She was ALWAYS painfully disconnected from empathy or reality, and SHE was never elected to the job. The idea that she would somehow leap up and make statements that made ANY difference is ridiculous. Her whole marriage is a showcase in compartmentalisation - purely mercenary.
    3
  258. I fear that these peopel are all very good at burying their assets such that bankruptcy holds no fear.
    3
  259. America's legal system is absolutely broken. The judges on the right are so utterly corrupt and partisan that the idea of "justice" is just a fantasy. It feels like the whole system has suddenly realised it doesn't need to bother about the law or the constitution - they all just do what serves their personal interests.
    3
  260. "People who believe in a God without sufficient evidence, can be convinced of anything without sufficient evidence." This is the end games of the magical thinkifying of the American public by cynical politicians.
    3
  261. Righting the wrongs of the past at the expense of people in the present is not acceptable. Everybody deserves equal opportunities. That does not mean affirmative action or quotas.
    3
  262. It's about goddamned time.
    3
  263.  @margaretstaats6703  I agree 100% that Trump NEVER wants to pay a bill from his own pocket. I can only imagine what he has on this guy to get him to front such a risky bond.
    3
  264. The man whose father stood and watched a million Americans die of covid wants to talk about abdication of responsibility?!
    3
  265. Given that the GOP have been praising Putin and Hitler, I hardly think this will even cause a ripple. They are totally lost.
    3
  266. The slimiest of slimy "Christians" and politicians.
    3
  267. Milo accusing Kanye of being gay has to be the funniest thing ever. Milo, you're fooling NO-ONE. You don't just turn that off; you just suppress it.

  268. And he attacked Biden's mental state?! SMH.
    2
  269.  @christophertiredofbs8514  Thank you.

  270. "Of course he's presumed innocent till proven innocent" but let me just slur you with a guilt by association accusation. Hmmm.
    2
  271.  @meghancass3187  100% Meghan - my only concern is that the Dems will quickly become just as bad without a check on their behaviour. Politicians are the problem.
    2
  272.  @roscoemuttley  Absolutely Roscoe. That's the real child abuse.
    2
  273. Hilarious that he tried to grift the "My Pillow" suffix every time he spoke, but now it's become a comical epithet.
    2
  274. I thank Trump for proving incontrovertibly that America does not deserve its position as world leader; for proving that 40-50% of the country are massively ignorant at at best, and vile bigots at worst. America is not a light on the hill - it's a cautionary warning to the rest of the Western world never to let people like him, or Nigel Farage here in the UK, anywhere near power again.
    2
  275. Well said.
    2
  276. Must be great to have the entire US justice system bending over backwards to accommodate your dishonesty. Trump must have SO much dirt on all these judges.
    2
  277. Ben, is it likely that they will seek to impeach Canon when this is over?
    2
  278. Stupidity and overconfidence are signature traits of demagogues.
    2
  279. @tradde11 I fully comprehend the concept of stochastic terrorism, and this wasn't it.
    2
  280.  @jimc5096  I agree 100%. I simply don't think this rose to that level, nor that the judge is a high enough profile figure to be in danger. Also, it reaches the point where Trump rants so often that even his empty-headed followers abandon his rallies early.
    2
  281.  @hanymessiha1416  It amazes me that that hasn't happened under some kind of incitement legislation but he always managed to stay just the right side of the law...
    2
  282.  @markeunruh2642  🤣🤣🤣
    2
  283. The man needs to stop huffing his own farts. He's like Trump - he seems like he's convinced himself his lies are true. His sense of indignation is nauseating and hilarious.
    2
  284. Biden should make it clear that not only is he watching their decision, but he plans to conduct himself in the future according to their decision. That should scare them honest.
    2
  285. I cringed so hard, I think I sprained my neck.
    2
  286.  @ARMY63WVETAD  Absolutely. But if he'd been wealthy, he would likely have never made that plea.
    2
  287.  @gadaffi1000  Yeah, sickening isn't it? I'm sure even their money has worn thin. Certainly won't cover the New York judgement.
    2
  288. It's a pity that this is not enough to detroy her utterly.
    2
  289. Planning his getaway...
    2
  290. This whole business was an appalling distraction. The judge should be ashamed of himself. "The appearance of impropriety" Total BS. The idea that a woman earning 200,000k a year would bring her boyfriend onboard so that she can get free dinners is as insulting as it is preposterous. You do her a disservice by even entertaining the conversation. You should be fulsomely defending her. There's only one person who's that cheap, and he's running for president.
    2
  291. It's hilarious to see the way he screwed his Truth Social partners coming back to bite him at the worst possible time. If ever there are cosmic karma, that is it. I hope that they delay at least long enough for him to have to sell something major.
    2
  292. None of it matters if Cannon is able to delay it long enough.
    2
  293. To win the favour of the formerly most powerful man in the world is say you like him. How paper thin is his ego?
    2
  294.  @michaeltherrien6006  I hope so. I hope it haunts every waking second.
    2
  295.  @reginaldgarner4321  Indeed.
    2
  296. An appalling indictment on justice that the person who appointed them makes any difference. So much for justice being blind.
    2
  297. I used to greatly like Spacey, and he's not been convicted of any crime, but the sheer number of accusers is making Bill Cosby look like a light weight, and this weird behaviour is really unsettling - certainly not making him MORE sympathetic. When you cosy up to treasonous people like Carlson, you lose all credibility.
    2
  298. It's funny how Christians spread rumours about Obama being the anti Christ when a fly landed on him. I wonder how they will interpret their man literally wallowing in his own shit?
    2
  299. Point of order coach: it's perfectly legitimate to compare the US military's battle readiness against Russia and China's on one hand, while criticising them for being say, totalitarian on the other. It's simplistic to suggest that our view of them must be a binary all-or-nothing.
    2
  300. Given that this was a planned operation, I feel no sympathy no matter how long he gets.
    2
  301. Damn this woman is naive.

  302. If it wasn't for those pesky kids!
    2
  303. They're not good guys. they are still supporting the attack on Ukraine.
    2
  304. Hear hear.
    2
  305. @Charan kanoa carson Insults are Trump's go-to move. It's time the world called him out on it, but of course, the Republicans are spineless.
    2
  306.  @thomcarr7021  That's what everyone said about Muller...
    2
  307.  @nellieknifton  The trouble is, there IS a time limit - the statute of limitations kicks in at 5 years, but if Trump becomes president in '24, he'll pardon himself.
    2
  308.  @nellieknifton  Yes, absolutely. Then STILL goes to jail for the rest of his life immediately after!
    2
  309. I have serious issues with people being fireds for non-work-related matters unless it affects their ability to do the job, or the safety of staff or customers.
    2
  310. Being a veteran is not a thing of honour. Only in America, do you have a childish warrior worship culture that most of the world left behind hundreds of years ago. But given that you purport to value veterans so highly, why do you treat them so appallingly?
    2
  311.  @corvusroberts5078  100% agree. Same with the Florida hurricane relief. Except that's no way to flip those states.
    2
  312.  @martinnorman8177  Can you blame them for being cynical?
    2
  313.  @dennisyoung4631  I was not engaged with US politics during that era Dennis, but it would be nice to see again. Sadly, Biden is in a race against senility, so he's hardly the best spokesperson.
    2
  314. Rarely has one of the two parties in a western democracy worked so hard to prevent people from voting.
    2
  315.  @tammybrothers4593 We know Trump is a habitual liar. That's a separate issue. I don't doubt that he is poorer than he claims, but I am also certain that despite that, he owns billions in assets.
    2
  316.  @Ketowski Yeah, we know he's a habitual liar. Regrettably, even for a politician, that's not a crime, but it should be.
    2
  317.  @Ketowski Absolutely agree!
    2
  318. I can only hope he he crapped his diapers over the verdict.
    2
  319. He was the man who openly conspired to undermine democracy. He needs to be financially destroyed then imprisoned.
    2
  320. This story is interchangeable with Mike Lindell's story. I wonder if HE knows there's no house?
    2
  321. My greatest concern, is that he thinks famous people have been using their fame for "the last million years." That Ug was a real sex pest!
    2
  322. Give him a backhanded slap.
    2
  323. Fucking pathetic. Didn't know it was possible for that many people to give fellatio to a single old man at once.
    2
  324. 17 is old enough to pay tax, get married, have a baby, and drive a car. Not a child.
    2
  325. With parents like his, kid never stood a chance.
    2
  326. That MAGA tears cup advert is SO cringe. If it wasn't delivered with such sincere enthusiasm, it would be unbearable.
    2
  327. Stop pussyfooting around tip-toeing around these people! Treat them the same as everyone else. The guy is not running for office FFS!
    2
  328. Never forget, the shareholders and Murdoch were fine with Fox's treason until it blew up in their faces. None of them deserve one iota of sympathy.
    2
  329.  @gammaron 😆 I guess so long as he still gets his 2 million, Weiselberg doesn't care.
    2
  330. Even by the broadest definition, America is not the oldest democracy. Any country that does not give equal weight to EVERY citizen is not a democracy. Gerrymandering, citizens united, the prevention of prisoners from voting, and more all mean that America is not a democracy at all, but given that the word comes from Ancient Greece in 450BC, it's laughable for Americans to tout the train wreck that they have as the oldest.
    2
  331. A draft dodger accusing other people of cowardice - that's rich.
    2
  332. The way he eats pudding? FFS.
    2
  333. A tamborine player? Oh the horror!
    2
  334. She really is utterly classless.
    2
  335. I never liked Assange, but these tax returns were EXACTLY what Wikileaks was good for. The world NEEDS to see billionaire tax returns.
    2
  336.  @MargauxStewart  Hear hear. Kids who have smoked a few joints get treated like scum. Why should these insurrectionist who tried to subvert democracy itself get better treatment? They should be dressed in rags, locked in manacles and dragged through the streets.
    2
  337. Given the corruption of SCOTUS and the pandering of the judiciary to Trump, and the obstructionism of and dishonesty of the GOP, I have a lot of sympathy with his anti-government sentiments.
    2
  338. What really blows my mind, is that any of his followers still have faith in him, much less think he's sent by God. The power of self delusion is breathtaking.
    2
  339. Surely accepting shares in lieu of payment is accepting something of unknown value?
    2
  340. The total destruction of Fox would be the greatest thing that could ever happen to help America. But I'll settle for their talking heads being terrified to spread bullshit any more.
    2
  341.  @sallydaniel1023  No, I doubt it soon, but wouldn't it be a glorious power move!
    2
  342. Moscowitz is brilliant! He's just right side of insulting, but he's constantly ridiculing the people in front of him, and using humour to highlight their dishonesty.
    2
  343. So Trump bonds a fraction of what he was supposed to pay, delays it by two further months, and we're supposed to see this as a victory?! Justice in America is utterly dead and SCOTUS is the executioner.
    2
  344. Just another low-rent "Christian" hustler.
    2
  345. Should have done this video on the night of his first court appearance to throw him off his game. Hopefully, Lawrence has worse to come.
    2
  346. Yeah but why would I listen to you - you're just a woman! Know your place - back in the kitchen.
    2
  347.  @williamstroud5449  trump could live in obscene luxury for the rest of his life if he never drew in another nickel. Would that we were all broke so well.
    2
  348. The fact that the court EVER rules left or right is a travesty, and proves that justice is not blind. I'm hoping they all have very short, unpleasant lives.
    2
  349. "how weak and petulant Trump's posts are" have you forgotten the endless death threats?
    2
  350. Damn she's a nauseating little trollop.
    2
  351. The really sickening thing, is the sheer number of moronic or bigoted Americans who still support Trump, despite how blatantly corrupt he is. Democracy is not going to die because it was stolen, but because Americans gave it away.
    2
  352. Trump is a reflection of the wilful ignorance that pervades America. 4 centuries of Christianity and two of independence has lead to this. It's like watch gene degradation in action. So humiliating.
    2
  353.  @valerieneal2747  😁
    2
  354. It's a calculated risk by the Saudis, China, Russia, or other enemy actors.
    2
  355. Seeing Trump taken apart, piece by rancid piece, makes me incredibly happy, but the Senate is still infested with acolytes who will never suffer for their betrayal of America.
    2
  356. Bitterman still flapping his lips? Meidas' association with Cohen is a huge stain on their credibility.
    2
  357.  @Flies2FLL  I can only hope that some cosmic karma catches up to him.
    2
  358. Rogan is SUCH a cretin.
    2
  359. Trump would know all about long endurance contests, having used that exact tactic to destroy companies he owed money to. Never forget the contractor he drove to suicide.
    2
  360. Getting ridiculed was what lead to Trump to run in the first place. I'd wait until the money is in your hands.
    2
  361. We ALL thought Pomerantz did the right thing at the time - don't back away from that now. Bragg only revived the prosecution when he was shamed into it by the public outcry against him originally dropping the case.
    2
  362. Fox News is the greatest "radicalisation centre" in America.
    2
  363. "Just kiss. I don’t even wait. When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.” There is a clear progression in his mind.
    2
  364. Your advert scripts are total bullshit. All repeating the exact same advertiser lines as though they pertain to you. So dishonest.
    2
  365.  @hodaka1000  😆
    2
  366. America's legal system is fucked to the core. It needs to be torn apart and rebuilt from the ground up.
    2
  367. So "media bad" unless Trump attacks them, then you forget all this, and leap to their defence.
    2
  368. In a fair world, there would be terminal consequences. What is the sentence for betraying the most important office in America, as well as your sacred oath?
    2
  369. Of COURSE they're corrupt as all f***. This is why none of them was willing to answer to the committee. It's time to burn the whole thing down.
    2
  370.  @eh1702 Exactly.
    2
  371. Seeing black people supporting Trump really sickens me.
    2
  372. On the Truth social web site "No Political Discrimination" and "Truth Social is America's "Big Tent" social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating on the basis of political ideology." This from the man who wants to lock up critical journalists and talk show hosts! 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  373.  @konradheumann8342  Hear hear Konrad!
    2
  374. It was always a ponzi scheme designed to extract money from the poor.
    2
  375. Jeez, Biden DOES look utterly decrepit though. The fact that he is the best of two dreadful choices is appalling.
    2
  376. Given that the man is a habitual and proven liar, why do you keep replaying his screeds? You wouldn't signal boost adverts from known cheats. What is served by giving airplay to this crap? Keeping your audience upset?
    2

  378. It's fantastic - they're so overtly, callously evil, it has rotted their brains and tactical instincts. How much did the left pay to get them to do this?

  379.  @jeannelee4821  I have massive concerns about simply shipping your kids off so you don't have to deal with them, and it's clear that in both your brother and Trump's case, it didn't work. I'm sure that in both cases, a decent psychologist could go back to a point of earlier neglect or abandonment and determine a root cause. From a child point of view, it's heartbreaking, but once they become malformed adults, it's hard to retain much sympathy.

  402. The fact that Britons now pay an additional 20% of their income, in the midst of an ongoing recession, following ther disastrous Brexit, in climate change taxes is not the laudible thing you imply it is. It's an outrageous regressive tax imposed on millions of people, with no reasonable ease-in period, and no transition aid. Suddenly the very poorest people living around London have to find an extra couple of hundred dollars a week just because of their postcode.

  405. Wasting time on the very smallest of small fry. Until they take Trump down, all of this serves only to emphasise what a horrific two tier justice system America has. Trump invited Russia to hack his opponent on public TV and saw zero consequences, and now he's living with impunity after inciting an insurrection and stealing state secrets.

  407. There is almost NO justice in America - don't gaslight us Dave. A black woman got 2 years for accidentally taking documents home. Trump consciously stole top secret s documents and is walking free. Bannon betrayed the country and is still free. Republicans are daily working to cheat and subvert democracy. Women do not have the right to abortions. Half the supreme court are out right criminals. Trump cost a million covid lives. Kushner got billions from the Saudis. Where's the justice?

  417. Miller was one of the most evil people in Trump's orbit, along with Pompeio. They all deserve to rot in hell for what they did.

  418. DeSantis is very wisely avoiding a head-on confrontation with Trump that would alienate his base, while he waits to see if Trump will be taken out of the race by the justice department. If you don't see that, then you're not the tactician you pretend to be Ben.
    2
  419. Garland has been a real disappointment. Same as Mueller. Dems are at a structural disadvantage - their people are tactically weak, and excessively honest. The GOP don't mind what lies they tell or what dirty deeds they do. The fact that Garland chose a Republican SC is a clear example. Does anyone think for a nanosecond that the GOP would have cared about the appearance of impartiality?

He had ample justification and the chance to get her thrown off the case before any of this goddamned fiasco even began and he fumbled the ball. EVERYTHING he does from now on is simply chasing a car that already ran him down. The entire judiciary is terrified of holding Trump accountable, and instead would sooner surrender America democracy to a damned dictator. It's despicable and pathetic in equal measures.

  438. Oh come on Paul, Buttigieg no more gets credit for fixing the problem, than for causing it. The greater issue is "Why is America's entire air system dependent upon a single hard drive worth less than $1000, and why does that drive not have MULTIPLE redundancies?" These are issues that any transportation secretary needs to ask of American infrastructure going forwards. How many other single points of failure are waiting in the wings to bring the nation to a halt or cause worse disasters?

  442.  @rochellestarr9538  So every single protestorrioter was a white supremacist? Every single one assaulted police officers?

I have sympathy for the victims not merely empathy, but I can also appreciate how people in an information dead zone could be mislead.

  445.  @rochellestarr9538  When you voted in the last election, did you agree with EVERY one of your candidate's policies? Lots of people voted Trump because they thought he would restore Christianity in America. Lots of people voted Trump because they were against wokeism. Lots of people voted Trump because, despite not being racist, they objected to seeing American jobs being lost to, or crime committed by illegal immigrants. I don't agree with any of those, but I can understand that the motivations could be well-meaning. That said Rochelle, I would certainly concede that there is a large contigent of white supremacists among Trump's base, and he deliberately courted them, being a hateful bigot himself.

  449. It was NEVER a smart idea for him to testify. Even a world class intellect would be too exposed in a situation where he does not know the questions in advance. Can't stand Trump, but this is sense, not cowardice. It does remove the opportunity for him to explain himself, but given his guilt, there was nowhere for that to go.

I'm not saying she's wrong, but they couldn't have chosen a worse spokes person! Just go away Hillary. You blew your chance and your participation now is negative for many people.

  461. It's not "refusing to accept" the problem. Dealing with climate costs money, and his donors don't want the cost to cut into their profits. This is why politicians should NEVER be allowed to have corporate donors or even private donors over $5000. Add to that, the fact that DeSantis is so anti-woke that he will literally kill the planet to score over them. He, like Trump, is the literal embodiment of evil.

  491. You can draw a line at any point of a person's life and define one side "minor." It's a legal definition, not a moral one. You can take issue with an adult having sex with a 17 year old, but understand, you just drew an arbitrary line in the sand - it has no biological or ethical substance. Once you realise that, everything else against Gaetz evaporates. America infantilises its young people. That's why you are the most selfish, immature, superstitious population on Earth. THAT is the real crime.

  494. Exactly like the slimy political opportunist he is. This is PRECISELY why Trump was elected the first time. People are sick of this kind of crap. McConnell sees a weakness and he dives in ready to stab in the back. He's a vile political operative. I just hope that he and Trump torpedo the party between them.
    1
  495. The "you're not my type" comment is EXACTLY why Trump became popular. Anyone who says that they don't have a type or know precisely what he means, is a liar. Maybe the judge was a morbidlky obese 70 year old. That's not most men's type. Trump was honest, and not even all that brutally. Flapping your hanky and acting disgusted because he was clear about having a type, only makes YOU look stupid. As for the "grab 'em by the pussy" comment, yeah, it was damned crude, and perhaps he was talking about abuse of power, but equally, perhaps he was talking about the casting couch, where women are willing to trade sex for favours. I have no problem with that from the man or woman's perspective. Life is transactional. So long as she gets what she expected and it's not coercive, it's no worse than killing your soul in an underpaid job for your whole life to achieve a fraction as much.

  497. A lifetime of lies and scams, confirmed in public. Why would ANY sane institution lend him money? Popok you say that a bond could be secured against property, but how could any lender assure that the deeds were on the level, and did not already have liens against it? I LOVE this karma. The court should not concede an inch, especially as he already got caught trying to hide assets.

  500. I definitely think he did it, but let's just remind ourselves, truth is not determined by a jury, but by what actually happened. On the minute chance that he actually is innocent, it would be outrageous that he cannot publicly give his side of events because it's considered defaming. She has zero evidence that he was there, much less that he did what he accused, and trying to disprove the fact that he was NOT there, is a near impossible task. I really don't like this law.

  523.  @robhill4352  "Either you are wholly on the side of good or you choose to support evil by letting it proceed." You have a fantastically simplistic view of geopolitics. When evil is armed with nuclear weapons, led by a think-skinned, brutal madman near the end of his life with a proven history of killing his opponents, the question is "Do you risk hundreds of thousands, or even millions of your OWN citizens, for a nation that wanted nothing to do with you until it was invaded?" Seeing this as black and white only betrays your own lack of imagination.

  529. ​ @dinasequeira198  I used the word precisely accurately. Hyperbole "In rhetoric, an obvious exaggeration; an extravagant statement." Hperbolic - "Using hyperbole." The word makes no assessment of whether or not the hyperbole is being used in a good way. I would argue that the channel's hyperbole is NEVER in a good way. Click bait is the tool of the dishonest promising more than it can deliver. Ben used to hyperbolically say "We're nearly at a million subs" when he was not at 600k. When I heard him say that, it undermined my faith in him, and made me write him off as just another political operative who did not care about the truth. Even now, I have my doubts.

  546.  @rhondaingranm858  They should BOTH be punished as harshly as that black woman down in Florida (or she she be immediately released and compensated), but there's a massive difference between thousands of documents STOLEN, then wilfully withheld so that they can be used for leverage, and documents taken home during the course of your job then simply forgotten about. Trump saw them as a means to more power. He is an influence trader who sees knowledge as power. There should clearly be protocols regarding the withdrawing, handling, and return of classified documents. It would be great if this had not happened, but if you can't see a clear distinction between the two cases, you are too partisan to see clearly.
    1
  547.  @rhondaingranm858  No he didn't. There's a process for declassifying and he never went through it. According to your "logic" (and I use the term loosely), Trump could take a flight to America's worst enemy holding a case with all of the nation's most important secrets, give them away, and then claim he declassified them afterwards. Biden, appears to have simply been careless about returning them after reading them in the course of his duties, Trump took them because he hoped to leverage the information within, either against his enemies, or by trading it with foreign actors. And EVEN if you believe that Trump can declassify simply by thinking about it, he STILL refused to explain that, or return them when repeatedly asked by the national archives. It was only AFTER being raided that he made up this ridiculous justification. If you think that Trump can declassify documents simply by thinking about it, then hell, maybe Biden declassified these ones in his sleep? "Yall are so brainwashed that you can't see." 😂You have absolutely ZERO self awareness do you? Rhonda - it dismays me that you are allowed to vote. There should be an IQ test - say at least 50, to keep you out.
    1
  548. ​ @rhondaingranm858  Declassifying SOME documents is not the same as declassifying THESE documents. He couldn't even name whch documents were in his possesssion so how could they be declassified? You can't just say "I declassify everything" - that's not how it works. I absolutely think Biden would break the law - he's a politician - they're all lying cheating sc*m, but the way THESE specific classified documents were handled was TOTALLY different to Trump who tried to hide them, hold onto them, then lied about his declassifification. To be clear, the issue is not just that Trump still HAD classified documents - it depends what they were and what he planned to do with them. It's that he refused to hand them back. Even when it was just Trump, I could easily imagine a situation where a man handling thousands of documents might simply forget where some were, and forget to return them. "They have all trumps business records where is the 64 million he's getting as payoffs." Are you serious?! His inept son in law just landed a business deal with the saudis worth 4 billion dollars. The same saudis that trump sacrifice the lives of hundreds of dissidents to. The same saudis Trump just signed a huge deal with. To use the word Trump loved to use regarding Hunter, it was a quid pro quo. Difference is, Joe was not president at the time. Perhaps he should have paid more attention to his own Ukranian aid quid pro quo scandal? The money doesn't have to go through his own bank account. However, given that criminal Trump runs over 500 shell businesses to HIDE his international dealings, there could easily be bribery money still hidden in there somewhere. "Follow the money." Thank you. Yes, I'm taking that advice. I'm following the money Trump keeps grifting. I'm following the tax money the Trump organisation got found guilty of cheating. I'm following the billions he's about to get fined. I'm following the money he paid in Chinese taxes. I'm following the Russian business deals. Sooo much corruption.

  549.  @rhondaingranm858  "you have a business in another country you pay the taxes." But not in the USA apparently. There you just pay the chief tax inspector never to audit you, lie about it for 5 years straight, and then... Oh wait, he just got successfully sued for tax evasion didn't he? And gonna go down for 250 million in fines this year. And of course, his daughter won all those license in China AFTER he became POTUS. Still, nothing to see here right?
    1
  550.  @rhondaingranm858  Biden didn't get 64 million. It was 54, and it went to a college that had a wing named after him. That's a totally different thing. For starters Biden didn't benefit, and secondly, Biden had zero to do with the deal. And again, I repeat, I have NO problem with Trump doing business in China. I DO have a problem with him hiding the fact, and pretending to be tough on China, destroying US businesses in the process. That's a clear conflict of interests.

  551.  @rhondaingranm858  " People want me not to like them and of course I like them we get along great." Saudi Arabia are the ones who raised US gas prices during the recent crisis. Saudia Arabia is the nation that recently performed recvord executions. Saudi Arabia are the ones exterminating the people of Yemen. Saudi Arabia are the ones the Trump provided intelligence details on all their enemies so taht they could hunt them down. Saudi Arabia are the ones that recent had record executions. But you get on great, so I guess if you care about nobody except you, that's fine.

  552.  @rhondaingranm858  I cannot find any details on this claim, except for the disproven claim that he owns 10% of a Chinese gas company. If he owned 10% of a US gas firm, yes, it would represent a conflict of interests, which is why presidents are expected to give up ownership of businesses in which they can benefit, which is what makes Trump's profiteering from the presidency all the more egregious. To answer your other point about Trump giving gifts in lieu of wages, he is a typical mob boss; very careful not to leave his fingerprints directly on anything. He's extremely cunning, but his greatest mistake was becoming president. His ego outstripped his self-interest. As long as he remained below the radar, he could have lived out his entire bigotted, nasty little life with nothing but a few inconsequential ripples. Now, a third of the planet despises him and is justifiably out to get him.

Michael Cohen is not a reformed person; he was, and still is a despicable human being just like his former boss. He's simply a vengeful, spurned lover, which only confirms his evil nature.

  662. You guys have to stop misrepresenting former inmate Cohen. The judge did not say that he was trustworthy - you are selectively editing his comments. Engoron also said of Cohen "His testimony was significantly compromised by his having pleaded guilty to perjury and by some seeming contradictions in what he said at trial. Although the animosity between the witness and the defendant is palpable, providing Cohen with an incentive to lie, the Court found his testimony credible, based on the relaxed manner in which he testified, the general plausibility of his statements, and, most importantly, the way his testimony was corroborated by other trial evidence." If Weisselberg going to prison affects his credibility, so it does for criminal Cohen. Your constant cosying up to Cohen, who only "found Jesus" when Trump abandoned him, affects YOUR credibility at this stage. Cohen is not a reformed criminal, he's just a vengeful actor.

  666. It really is dismaying, watching from outside America, how completely one criminal with massive fascist aspirations, has co-opted one of the two parties in the former land of the free. The stupidity and bigotry of the electorate is bad enough, but to me, it highlights how craven, and how self serving US politicians are. This is the landscape that Mitch McConnell created with Citizens United, where willingness to serve donors was more important than a desire to serve the electorate. I hope he lives long enough to see everything he cares about turn to dust.

  672. Kinsinger and Cheney did NOT step up for democracy when it was needed. They were both happy to sit there while the southern strategy used racism to divide the nation. They were happy to sit there while McConnell gamed the system to rob Scotus of a democrat member. They have been quite satisfied to participate in ALL the horrific anti-democratic shit done by their party. The fcat that they had a VERY belated line in the sand earns them 1% of credit.

  674. There are PLENTY of countries eager to step into China's place - India, Singapore, and more. China has been waging economic war against the west for decades. This is one of Trump's rare good ideas. Many people would be willing to pay more, especially without built in obsolesence, and didn't congress just unilaterally approve the chips act to reduce America's dependence on China?

  675. I have concerns about entertainers being overtly political. Of course, it's their right, but I've lost so many movie stars who turned out to support the worst of the GOP positions. I doubt anyone would stand close scrutiny across their entire history and range of opinions, but when they make a show of expressing it, it becomes unavoidable, and now I have to make ethical decisions. Rosanne, Eastwood, Stallone, Norris - all gone to me now. So sad.

  677.  @oliver_twistor  Yeah, this was an extreme example, but when you hear of people being fired simply for being Karens or making tasteless jokes, I really feel it's unreasonable. In the UK, we have strict employment laws and the employer would be straight in court.
    1
  678.  @oliver_twistor  Your employer pays for you 7 or 8 hours a day on the premises. They do NOT own your private life. So long as you conduct yourself according to their REASONABLE code of conduct during the time you are on the clock, what yo do in your private time, is entirely up to you. So some employees are uncomfortable with the mere knowledge that someone is a neo nazi - so what? I am uncomfortable with the knowledge someone is a muslim, christian, feminist, Trump voter, Jordan Peterson follower, or any number of things. That's a ME issue. Was it Stephen Fry who said "People tell me they're offended, and I respond "So what?" You don't have the right not to be offended." People's low threshhold for offence or discomfort is one of the great problems of modern society. Remember when we were taught "It takes all types [to make a society]?" Now we're taught "Only those I approve of."

  679. He's thankfully in an impossible position. The Republicans are not one party but three; the MAGA lunatics; the far right lunatics; and the ultra far right greedy lunatics.

How much does your son's medication cost? Wanna know how much that would cost without Democrat corruption and complicity with big pharma? Wanna know what his survival chances would rise to if the Dems had the courage of their convictions and reined in the cops hard, or resticted the industrial military complex, or added sensible gun legislation? I dunno what Democrat koolaid you're drinking, but they are BOTH part of the same corrupt system, and while the Dems may not be as corrupt as the GOP, like your boy, they are BOTH on the spectrum. And now I'm done educating you. I've wasted enough time on you. You're dismissed.

  692.  @corvusroberts5078  But don't you think RECOGNISING those facts requires a certain level of expertise Corvus? On one hand, Trump does it, which definitely lends credence to your position.

He knew his career working for Trump was over, so he started grifting off the left. You only have to look at the downwards curves of his mouth to know that he's an evil person. The kind of man who who would steal $10,000 from his employer is not someone who anyone should trust.

  742. Killing babies should NEVER be "a woman's choice issue," any more than murder should be "a man's issue." Ultimately, what matters is the best outcome for a moral society, and the point at which cells become a baby. Not sure what no-fault divorce has to do with this issue. Women have had a massive free ride with America's ridiculous alimony laws, and you harm the abortion issue by mentioning them in the same video.

  743. "Michael Cohen is somebody who has completely recognised his involvement. He regrets it, and he has turned the ship around." You've got to be kidding! Cohen was a POC when he worked for Trump, and now he's a POC pretending to be a reformed character so he can grift off it. He's every bit an evil character now as he was when he was threatening people with implicit violence as a Trump enforcer. He's a bitter, vicious, vengeful, boxer pretending fraud. It's hilarious that Trump created his own adversary by abandoning him, but even Trump has the sense to recognise what a sleaze bag Cohen was and cut him loose.
    1
  744. Cohen pretends to be reformed almost convincingly, but I never forget the person he was working for Trump, and the person he was as he quit working for him. A repeat liar, a thug, and a thief. This is all just another grift by a jilted employee.

  751. Never forget, Cohen would still be the same thuggish criminal he was before if Trump had only stepped up for him. Cohen is a bitter spurned lover, not a good guy, and seeing you guys fawning over him is sickening. That's why I don't trust this channel.

  757. If Smith was any good at strategising, he'd have gotten her kicked off the case right from the start when there was already every justification, rather than having to tip toe around now.

  761. I'm sick to death seeing the most corrupt man in America receiving endless special treatment and handled with kid gloves. Al Capone was not treated so gingerly and he was a murderer. Sam Bankman-Fried was not either, and he was incredibly wealthy. Even OJ was treated worse and he was a black national celebrity. Even George Santos, who was in office, so why the hell are they all so terrified of Trump?
    1
  762. The fact that Giuliani will continue to contest and delay this right up till the day he dies is a complete travesty. American justice is on it knees since Trump, from SCOTUS and every level below. Why should ANY American respect a system that is so blatantly exploitable if you are wealthy or savvy? A system whose highest experts are utterly corrupt.
    1
  763. You've NEVER lived in a democracy. The scales have always been tilted to various degrees. If you were black, someone who had been in prison, or someone living in a gerrymandered district, there was no democracy. The McConnell did Citizens United, your voice counted for even less. And of course, that's ignoring the fundamentally anti-democratic concept of the electoral college.

  795. Making a comparison between the age of a fantasy figure who supposedly had the strength to walk from Egypt to Israel (and apparently took 40 years to do so) is not the reassurance Jared thinks it is. Frankly, it's appallingly selfish of Biden (who promised to be a one term president), to stand knowing his age and health are such enormous factors. To be honest, one of my concerns is that he won't even LIVE through the debate. Like Bader Ginsburg, he clearly thinks he is the only one with solutions. His ego may condemn America to fascism and the outright fall of democracy.

  802. I wish you guys would stop ascribing unknown emotions to people. It makes you look like schoolyard mean girls instead of professional reporters. You really do appeal to exactly the same bullying instincts that Trump appeals to. You have no way of knowing whether or not Eric's emotional state was the reason he wasn't called again. Maybe they simply felt he was a bad liar, or his truthful testimony added nothing to their case.

Ben keeps talking about "normalcy" like that was working for anyone but the wealthy. a million peoiple in prison, 20,000 a year dead from gun deaths, 100,000k+ dead due to medical expenses, a nation that works to protect climate destroyers. America NEEDS a radical shake up. Just not from the right.

  808. Literally every business action Trump takes is fraudulent. Every person he deals with is suspect. Every word he says is a lie. He's the most dishonest human being I have EVER known about. Whatever he does should be scrutinised by the relevant authorities.

  817. I actually agree with this decision. If the business was hard core porn, and they hired her to make a web site for them, nobody would be saying "It's her client's perspective she should have to look at extreme depravity all day long." I see little problem threading the needle. A person shall not be compelled to work on a creative project that expresses views they disagree with. A person cannot decline to work on a project simply because of the views of the person commissioning the project. That said, if Trump walked into my business, I'd tell him to f**k off because of his political behaviour. It swings both ways.

  827. America - the greatest country in the world?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love you Jared but America has NEVER been the greatest country in the world, and since Trump it rapidly devolved into a banana Republic. It's been held hostage by its constitution. Now it's held hostage by corporate interests, corrupt politicians and a SCOTUS who should be in prison themselves. If you are a black, poor, or live in the wrong state, America has never been the dream. You have to stop repeating this lie.

  828. I can TOTALLY see where this woman was coming from. This was read to a 6 year old - a book that talks about BLM and political activism and child murder. My only question to her, is are you okay with Christianity in school? In which case, sit the fuck down and shut up.

Way down the list on happiness, education, prosperity, environmental action, fair pay, and opportunities to succed. High on gun crime, police brutality, drug addiction, political corruption, presidential crime, court corruption, gender inequality, racism, and incarceration of its population. America is not even in the top HUNDRED great nations on Earth. Stop lying.

  833.  @lindalovatt5799  Michael Cohen has NOT turned his life around. He got abandoned and is now bitter. He didn't see the light and reform. He was thrown to the wolves and paid the price, and now takes every opportunity to get verbal revenge on Trump. He is Trump's greatest mistake. Cohen was a horrible man for Trump, and now he's an horrible man against him. He lost one source of income, and now realises that he can grift off the left instead. I'm not fooled. Everything about the way he talks makes it clear that he's the same vengeful, spiteful man he was before. It baffles me why Meidas elevates him, but frankly, the jury is still out on THEIR motivations so...

  836. Oh stop it with the "cowardly" nonsense Ben! I despise Trump with a burning hatred, but stop doing this silly playground taunt. I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that you're a one-trick pony. It's tactically sound not to answer questions from your enemy. You're a lawyer - you of ALL people should know the first piece of advice to give to a client "Never talk to the police (or interrogators)." Grow up and find a better approach - your rhetoric is as bland and repetitive as theirs is.
    1
  837. Is anyone surprised? I don't believe there is a single conservative politician, preacher, activist or donor who is not corrupt to the core. It's all "Means justifies the ends" with them, and that's even if their ends are any more than simple self enrichment, which I doubt.

  840. He's not "standing up to him" - he's cut from exactly the same cloth. He's a bitter man who was betrayed and will now go to any lengths to get even, EXACTLY like Trump. Cohen is playing the role of "reformed man" exactly like he plays the role of "tough guy" when he holds his fists up for the beatdown despite clearly not being a physical fighter.

  855. None of this counts for anything until these people start going to prison, losing their jobs, and all of their wealth. Trump successfully added many months of delay at this initial stage, and continues to do so at EVERY stage. He wants to delay until he becomes president or dies of old age.

Also the many who spent $85k on newspaper adverts calling for their execution.

  867. It seems to me that the massive mistake all these lawyers made, after accepting a job with Trump, is thinking that they are all TV stars. It takes an extremely disciplined and intelligent person to speak dozens of times, lying freely on each occasion, and never trip themselves up. That's why lawyers always advise clients not to say anything to the police.

  874.  @LouiseMitchelle  That's absolutely not true. Fox's average audience age is 60-70, and their average IQ is less than 100. They are not the demographic that will go search on Twitter. As soon as it becomes harder to find someone, they start to lose relevance. Even Trump himself could not draw crowds to Truth Social.

  875.  @sandyunderpants4376  So two rapists, one of whom is also an insurrectionist? What a fine reputation he's continuing to build. And never forget what Carlson said about Trump off camera.
    1
  876.  @thsboyisnoone8847  The fact that a treasonous mob boss values loyalty above competence or integrity tells you nothing about someone's value or importance. Trump sees Tucker's former popularity as something he can exploit. Meanwhile Tucker is exploiting him to maintain his own relevance because Trump is such a liability he can't get onto mainstream media any more.

If the bar exam i not neceary for being a good lawyer, why are you using its absence to slur someone?

  888. If anyone ever needed irrefutable proof that the US justice system is wildly skewed in favour of the wealthy, Trump has demonstrated it. And the thought that even after all his lower court manoeuvrings, he has a backstop of SCOTUS judges HE appointed is absolutely outrageous!
    1
  889. It's almost as if Trump screws EVERY SINGLE person he ever does business with. How does ANY person or business still want to interact with him? I can only assume that they are as criminal as he is. The FBI should investigate every one of them.

  890. There is absolutely NOTHING Trump touches that is not dishonest. How the hell was he never imprisoned before he ever rose to prominence? $$$

  891. "He'll dismiss the case against him..." It sickens me how casually pundits now accept that the most powerful man on the planet will have the power and the option to simply dismiss cases against him. What happened to "No man can stand in judgement over himself?" America's legal system is broken and rotten right to its core. Every level; police, prosecutors and defenders, politicians and SCOTUS is corrupt. It all needs rebuilding from the ground up.
    1
  892. Yet Trump's popularity is greater than ever, and the entire party is aligned behind him. How many people will be like Bill Barr and swallow their distaste, placing party above country in 24?

  895. A tiny tiny tiny part of me still says "Yeah, but what if he really didn't do it?" There's literally no physical or video evidence. It's all hearsay. How should an innocent man behave when he is treated unfairly, then ordered to pay tens of millions of dollars? Yeah, he's got a temper. Who wouldn't if they were innocent. I hate the way that people are supposed to be emotionless. I wish we could see the evidence that convicted him.

  896. I hope the FBI doesn't give drug dealers this long to erase the evidence FFS.

  897. Habba (almost certainly at the direction of Trump) was trying to tap into the growing distaste of victim culture that exists. However, she gravely miscalculated how that would play out in court. Trump can exploit that on the campaign trail because his audience is as repugnant as he is, but in a court, where people get to answer back, and an intelligent advocate gets to contextualise, it plays disastrously.
    1
  898. So many leading figures in the US acting as unspoken Russian agents. Why would it be a surprise when an actual Russian businessman does so?

  899. It's disingenuous to reduce this to "He doesn't want the army to provide healthcare." You know damned well that's it's just a tiny part of the healthcare provision that he opposes - abortion care. There is a principled, moral stance in that position - which is completely undermined by the fact that it's applied to a group of professional killers. The fact that he supports neo Nazis is the greater issue.

  902. All of this stupid nonsense over a piece of rag is pathetic.

But then this feeble symbolism in favour ACTUAL values is absolutely what America is about nowadays.

  909. Truth is not determined by a jury. NOBODY was present at the alleged incident except Carroll and Trump. Just imagine for a moment, that he genuinely IS innocent, not only does he have to give her $5 million for an incident that never happened, but every time he publicly protests the incident for which there is zero actual evidence - just hearsay by the friends - he gets taken back to court. It seems fantastically unfair. That said, the way that he has behaved in this trial; trying to bully her, the judge, the jury, and everyone else remotely connected to it, makes me despise him and think he definitely IS the type of man who would do it.
    1
  910. It has just occurred to me that if Trump somehow gets reelected and can "prove" in court that 2020 was stolen, he'll have a perfect excuse to suspend the constitution and make himself president for 2 terms if not life.
    1
  911. Not if Trump gets back in. He wants protesting illegal, and people who dislike him imprisoned.

  913. I've always said live debates were moronic, and with the fate of the world at stake, the risks are just too high. A fast talker who presents well can gish gallop a million lies a second and get away with them, while a quieter more honest man can be railroaded.

  918. Ben, you keep speaking as if these people are impotent and powerless, yet the supreme court is stacked, the McCarthy holds a LOT of power, MTG is positioned for senior roles in the GOP, Roe vs Wade is overturned, Trump laws have harmed the nation for a generation, the GOP looks set to hold the economy hostage again, gerrymandering is subvverting democracy, Trump criminals were freed, and Trump has not been held accountable. You're cos-playing success, feeding the left what they want to hear; a steady diet of "Look how clever we are and look how bad they are." Meanwhile Trump gets to play golf every day, and live lke an emperor in the sun down in his luxury mansion while his moronic followers send him money because they think HE'S the victim.

  929. "Congress has never in our history conditioned raising the debt ceiling on negotiating concessions" WTF Ben? The Dems demanded concessions in 2017, 2018 1nd 2019 - to name but the latest 3 occasions. The problem is, as with gerrymandering, BOTH sides abuse it when it is to their advantage. It's a classic example of the whole process being dysfunctional, just like the supreme court and America's police.

  937. "the fraud that he is rich and successful" Jeez Tony, he made $15 million on the subsidised sale of ONE apartment. Say what you like, but Trump IS rich and successful. And if you do business in China, it's reasonable to have a Chinese bank account. You keep focussing on the side issues. The main issue is that Trump is compromised, making billions in the place of America's rivals, and that he is hiding his money overseas. Personally, if he's making money in another country, I actually don't see why he SHOULD pay US taxes on the profits.

  938. Michael Cohen is a criminal. In my opinion, Michael Cohen will always be a grifter. He's simply a spurned, bitter lover who is now making a great and lucrative career for himself as "the reformed criminal." I wouldn't trust him any more than I would trust Trump or Michael Avenatti. The way he talks is vindictive, hostile and resentful. The way he goes after youtube commenters who say as much proves it. He still has EXACTLY the same personality traits he had when Trump was picking up his salary.

  939. There's so much about this case and Gaetz to dislike, especially that he would still have a chance at senior political office afterwards, but the age of the girl is NOT something that concerns me. 17 is not a child. In most countries, she's old enough to make her own decisions. In America, even grown adults don't get to make choices about their own bodies.

  941. Trump certainly has an affinity for some incredibly dubious people.

  942. Amusing that every sleazy grift Trump ever did is expensively coming back to bite him. If he hadn't try to squeeze these people out, he'd be a lot better off. Couldn't be happier.

  943. He really is pathetic.

  944. When is this entitled scumbag going to be held accountable? I imagine that he genuinely feels like HE'S the one who is hard done by. I very much hope a prison cell or a billion dollar fine will disabuse him of that as it has with Alex Jones.

  945. Waters clearly has massive male panic. Gonna bet he's put his manly lips around a sausage or two in his younger days.

  946. I'm sick of hearing it being described as "ageism" to want a younger man as president. Biden has done more as President than I expected, but he's undeniably showing his age. I don't want a man who struggles to speak, falls over simply walking, and constantly forgets things, to to be the one having to make split second decisions in an emergency. He promised he would only be a one-term president, and he KNOWS his age is turning moderates away in their tens of millions, but now he has that power fever and he won't give it up. A selfish old out of touch rich guy.
    1
  947. Michael Cohen, credible? He was an unpleasant, vindictive, untrustworthy man working for Trump, and he's exactly the same person opposing him. He was willing to break the law as Trump's lawyer, while at the same time recording Trump ready to betray him. And that's credible? 🤣🤣🤣
    1
  948.  @Brisingr-b5f  Lesser of two evils. Biden's support of Israel is utterly repugnant, as was Trump selling out Saudi dissidents, but the million Americans dead from covid under Trump's watch, the thousands of lies, the endless grifting, the reduction of rights, the corruption of SCOTUS, the cosying to and admiration of dictators, the endless scams, helping billionaires, the racism, and SO MANY LIES - how are you even putting them in the same league?
    1
  949. I can't imagine how massively Ben's heart must swelled with pride getting to interview the president. I must admit, I've been dubious about the sincerity of this network, especially given its cosying to Michael Cohen, and some of the sketchy, sketchy advertisers it accepts, but if the president trusts you enough to grant an interview, I guess it's time to lower my defensive shields a little. Well done Ben.

  950. I don't find this egregious n the way you are implying. This is stranger than the millions of mothers who say "My son is so handsome." What IS egregious, is that the orange blob thinks he'd have a chance with her unless he opened his wallet.

  956. "In prison for 10 years for running a marjuana ring." Nothing you say past this point matters. If you can talk about personal choice with abortion, you can extend the same courtesy to marijuana. A man in prison for something that should not be a crime should morally be freed. The only issue is Trump's hypocrisy, given his talk about drugs coming over the border.

  959.  @TracyAnnBlackburn  Hunter's criminality has nothing to do with it. Biden is frail and doddery. Please show me the correlation between that and stress. Hunter DESERVED to be found guilty, even though this was political. But then EVERY illegal gun registration should be found guilty. Except with the others, they don't have a president to pardon them afterwards...

  961. I'm actually opposed to affirmative action admissions. How can you ever be certain that a student got lower grades due to lesser opportunity, compared to simply being inadequate? I'm in favour of better and fairer pre-university education not linked to the wealth of an area. Ultimately, I don't understand why SCOTUS should have any say in the selection criteria of private educational institutions. It's ridiculous that the black member of SCOTUS should recuse herself. Surely, the very that they ARE black gives them a different perspective? Why should white people be the only ones with a voice?
    1
  962. Yeah, I often wonder why Meidas allows half a dozen hosts to cover the same subject in the same way. It's all about upload frequency over quality clearly.
    1
  963.  @thaisstone5192  Okay, but what does that have to do with Meidas repeatedly uploading exactly the same story in the same way? None of their reporters are bringing anything new. "Look at this terrible thing that happened. Shock. Outrage. Ridicule. Hope." It's wearing really thin. Ben is the worst of all. He'll describe an event. Play a video of that even. Repeat the exact words in the video. Then talk about the event. He apparently thinks we're all cretins with zero object permanence.
    1
  964.  @thaisstone5192  when I know it's a repeat, I don't watch. My watch rate for Meidas is about 20% of what it was when it was begging for a million views. They have some good videos, but a lot of total dross. Anything with Harry Litman is worth watching - Ben not so much.

  965.  @thaisstone5192  And I don't most of the time. My Meidas view time has plummeted. If Trump dies or gets imprisoned, it will cease altogether as it did with TYT.

  972.  @dellaelliott8918  I absolutely agree, but unfortunately, there is a problem in that if you have the money, why SHOULDN'T you hire the best lawyers, and utilise every tiny part of the system to your advantage?

  973.  @dellaelliott8918  True enough Della.

  974.  @bjdefilippo447  I definitely see where you're coming from, but I want the judiciary to be blind to race, gender and experience when making judgements, but diverse when creating laws. Perhaps that's naive and unreasonable of me. Certainly, judges routinely sentence blacks more harshly for the same crime, so maybe diversity would restore fairness. TBH, the entire US justice system is so desperately broken, it feels like sarcasm to include "justice" in its name.
    1
  975. More wish-casting from Meidas. America KNEW who Trump was in 16, and he still won. 70 million voted for him in 20. The negative PR machine for Biden is global. Here in Britain EVERYONE I talk to says Biden is incompetent despite his many achievements. The planet is living in a fantasy world.

  976.  @sterlinglewis5700  No, we're not. Only one of those was elected, and as soon as we realised that Johnson was a lying fool who had no intention of carrying out his promises, we made it clear his party would never get reelected, and he was ousted, as was Truss.
    1
  977. "The black community is about results" 🤣🤣🤣 Do me a favour. The black community, which is largely Evangelicals, has proven that they would vote for Jeffrey Dahmer if he claimed to be anti-abortion and Christian. Religion was used to subdue blacks during the age of slavery, and it's still being used now. Blacks have demonstrated a consistent inability to do what what was in their own best interests that goes back decades if not centuries.

Biden KNOWS that what he's doing with Israel is wildly unpopular with the precise demographic he needs to court. Why doesn't HE care enough about American democracy to change course? Why is he putting the interests of a vicious authoritarian nation run by a criminal, over the interests of America? Why is Biden willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING over this stance? Maybe Biden needs to put America first. America can't help the rest of the world if it becomes a banana republic.

  1045. There's absolutely NO reason why Trump should NOT receive foreign bail, but if he does, that should absolutely exclude him from ever holding public office again.

It's exactly the same cultish, monotonal, self-congratulatory, cultish behaviour we see on the other side. For contrast, watch Brian Taylor Cohen - he makes a point, then ends. When he interviews people, he performs the interview, lets the interviewee do most of the talking, then leaves. He does NOT constantly blow his own trumpet about how clever he is, and how great his interviewing style is, and how amazing his channel is. Which is possibly why he has twice the numbert of subs. At this point, I'm not even 100% convinced that this is not all a grift by the Meiselas family.

  1076. Trouble is, America's debt obligations are constantly growing. Why should the whole planet according to you, be held to ransom by a few hundred people, and exposed every year by presidents who want to give money to billionaires? Sooner or later this needs to stop. The sooner the planet decouples itself from the dumpster fire of American finance, the better. Even if the debt ceiling was raised, there would have to be an eventual ceiling to it.

  1077. In The art of the deal, Trump talked about getting even with people and punishing them 10x for any injuries done to him. Just remember this is the man whose government gave a list of enemies to the Saudi leader so that they could be murdered. Of COURSE Trump wants a list of names so that he can get even with them. The man needs to be on trial for crimes against humanity then facing a rope, not this endless goddamed slow walk to the end of his life.

  1080. The right of pardon is fundamentally anti-judicial. It should be removed from EVERY person from president down. It's designed for presidents and governors to feel like emperors.

  1081. "Make America Florida?!" What kind of dumb ass slogan is that? He just cost Florida billions in business from Disney, and thousands of jobs. If the Dems don't tear him a new one on that record, they should stop campaigning altogether.

  1083. Biden IS doddering and senile. I prefer him over Trump any day, but NO Fortune 500 company; no high street store; not even a cafe would hire a man aged 81. In fact, in Britain, he'd have HAD to retire 16 years ago. I completely forgive Biden for not knowing dates. I have NEVER had a head for dates, but you only have to watch Biden move and talk to know he should not be in charge of a golf buggy, much less the most powerful nation on earth, and it's his ego that keeps him in the job, handing the GOP easy talking points.

  1087. Frankly, I'd have to question the sanity of ANY foreign national who wants to join the US military. Either he's desperately stupid, painfully ignorant, or standing in front of bullets for a living is the only way he sees of getting away from his own country.

  1092. I'm still suspicious of Bragg's motivations. I'm hopeful that he intends to prosecute Trump effectively and fairly, but I'm suspicious about why he dropped the other case, and I feel that he's bringing these charges to try to complete a redemption arc and reputation restoration for himself.

You realise how irrational that argument is right? And let's not pretend that any of us has a meaningful influence over the policies of our government in the first place. I am morally strongly anti-abortion. However, this is a lesser of two evils argument. Much as I despise abortion, the alternate outcomes, as you point out, are so much worse.

We're all still more than a little resentful, so yeah, if we strongly assserted our sovereignty when we were in the EU, can you blame us? Especially seeing the way that the EU handled Greece, to say nothing of the weight of Germany within the organisation. But I agree, we absolutely belong in Europe. bureaucratic as it is, we're stronger together.

  1148. The Branch Davidians were NOT terrorists, they were isolationist cultists, outrageously assaulted by the government. Even the government wanted to call off the assault, describing it as "using unnecessary force." David Koresh et al, were mistrustful of government and didn't believe that the government had the people's interests at heart. Both beliefs were proven to be 100% true, when government agents murdered not just the adults who were defending their own autonomy - something every human on this planet has a universal "right" to, but they also murdered 26 children. It is EXACTLY the kind of massive government overreach that JUSTIFIES the beliefs of the Davidians and others. What acts of terror did they perpetrate? They defended themselves against a needlessly hostile government assault.

  1149. The Dems don't get to play like they're the virtuous ones here - THEY also refused to raise the liimit under Obama, just like THEY are quite happy gerrymandering when it suits them. This is why they don't get the high ground when they need it.

Until Trump, Carlson, Hannity, Pirot, and all those other propagandists are in prison, there will be no justice.

  1172.  @isthatyoursomnomnom  What part of what I just said was factually incorrect or not logical?
    1
  1173.  @Rickinsf Nah, it was because Trump has such a paper thin skin, he'd rather go through all that pain, than allow Obama to mock him at the Press association dinner without consequence. The first things he did was try to undo Obama's legacy. Then once he took the role, he loved the adoration, and hated the liberals that continue to ridicule him, so he got caught in a cycle of approval seeking and vengeance.
    1
  1174.  @isthatyoursomnomnom  America should be god damned APPALLED over the breaches of the emoluments clause since trump took office, but he knows that the law is so toothless, the GOP are so cowardly and partisan, and the Dems so feeble, he can get away with anything. Even now, I think there's a 99% chance there will be zero accountability for ANY of his crimes.

Couldn't be happier, but honestly, the idea that congress can simply order people to appear before it to answer their possibly hostile questions, like some kind of imperious emperors is horrific.

  1204.  @413smr  Trump is 76 years old, and has substantially evaded accountability for every year of his worthless existence. Karma is the fabrication of minds that cannot cope with the fact that the universe doesn't care about fairness. He has an unimaginable amount of wealth to delay, divert and cheat justice, and he's used it all his life to do just that. He only needs to do so a few more years before age gets the better of him. Add to that the fact that the judiciary is corrupt to the core, and at the highest level.

Having drug problem or recording yourself having consensual sex are nobody's business but his and his partner's. Trump on the other broke emoluments clause, enriching himself by 2.5 billion during his presidency. He also employed utterly unqualified Ivanka and Jared, and the former receive valuable trademarks in China within months of his presidency. There really is no comparison. Trump is a demonstrable, repeat criminal. Hunter is not.

  1230. So long as she's already been paid, she's a genius. Trump is an unmanageable client, yet she has extracted millions of dollars from him in one year. She has made herself the darling of the right, and a regular media figure. If she doesn't immediately retire to the countryside, she has a career as a media figure playing the victim/heroine card, or even as a politicians. And all with the legal skills of a sea slug.

He only said the quiet part out loud, but this this is the sort of calculation that Republicans have been making for decades by supporting the healthcare industry's predatory practices. Knowing that 100,000 people a year die because they can't afford healthcare because fair competition is not permitted is WORSE than this. Of course, from a strictly prosaic dollars perspective, the death of any social dependent increases the pool of cash available to the remainder.

  1233. Trump said he would be a dictator on day one, then unveiled his plan to deport US CITIZENS down the line for the crime of protesting. Just like he employed the secret police to quell BLM protests. Sounds like he had plans to be a dictator for longer than the first day. Go figure.

  1234. Any company or individual working for Trump must automatically come under suspicion of criminal activity.

  1235. Wow, Uncle Tom is alive and well in the GOP. I hope he's saying it for power and money, because if he's that delusional, he shouldn't be in charge of a paper route, much less a state.

  1239. I'm sure those 5 corrupt members of SCOTUS are devastated to hear about Luttig. They'll be crying all the way back to their mansions, free cruises and air flights, and their fat, corrupt bank accounts. The left HAS to stop assuming that the right has ANY ethics or sense of decency. We have to start treating them as literal enemies of freedom, and acting accordingly.

  1240. Exceedinglly fine? Who of any import is currently in prison?

  1241.  @hegyak  Exactly right. We've seen that exmplified for the past 6 years on live TV. It's despicable the amount of stalling that a rich man can introduce.The only hope is an even richer opponent.

  1244. America has a pathetic love affair with the constitution. It has NOT served the country well in the past, and it serves it less well now. It needs an urgent re-examination, but with the current SCOTUS and brain dead, manipulated electorate, I wouldn't trust them to fix it.

  1250. "History is written by the winners" I actually have tremendous sympathy for these people. When the Commander in Chief commands you to "Fight like hell" who are you to second guess? In wartime, doing so would get you executed for treason. Who are you to think YOU have better information than the president?! Trump and the extremist news channels all need to be charged with sedition and treason.

  1251. I think that removing the adverse inference clause unfairly penalises people who are not quick on their feet or great performers. The whole thing is often a personality contest.

  1257.  @pjpredhomme7699  I don't think he'd give the slightest damn. I'd love to see him broken and desolate in a cell, knowing he's there for the rest of his life, then let all those people come and stare at, and ridicule him through a glass wall like the animal he is.

  1258. Why does Meidas keep bringiung this convicted criminal on? Bitterman Cohen is pathetic.

  1264. So much copium gaslighting going on at Meidas. I'd vote for a turd sandwich and a punch in the face over Trump, but let's not pretend Biden's performance didn't matter. Yeah, that might be only 90 minutes, but suppose that was the 90 minutes when Putin fired nukes? Suppose that was the 90 minutes negotiating America's policy against China? Every second of Biden's presidency matters.

  1268. When your sole appeal to your billionaire sugar daddy is your decaying looks, I guess spending half a million on haircuts and makeup to retain access to a billionaire lifestyle is a sensible investment. Especially when it's other people's money.

  1269. The only way to stop this rampantly corrupt supreme court, and get back a woman's right to choose, is to vote in such large numbers that they can be impeached.

  1270. His opinion on gay might change while he spends a decade or more in prison. Although, you'd have to be a desperate inmate to want anything to do with THAT Frankenstein's monster.

  1271. It sounds to me like a fair point. "What specific action are you charging us with taking, and what law does it break?"
    1
  1272. Absolutely do NOT think you must accept the verdict of the jury. A jury let OJ Simpson walk free. A jury let Jeffrey Epstein walk free. The judicial system is hopelessly partisan, utterly corrupt, and juries act on emotion not logic. The whole system is pitifully flawed.

  1273. Must be great to be so rich that the law just never applies to you.

  1274. You're completely wrong Brando. This is an excellent thing. We can argue about whether or not they should be ALLOWED to run, but THIS is how democracy is supposed to work - you have a different vision for your community, so you stand in the hopes that you can persuade others to follow that vision. THIS is the process.

  1275. I HATE the way that abortion is always positioned as a "woman's issue that men have no business in." That's like saying "war is a gendered issue because men are mostly affected." If you consider abortion to be the murder of an unborn child, then why the hell should only the gender doing the murdering get to have a say?

  1276. The Waco massacre continues to be one of the greatest atrocieties perpetrated by the US goernment on its own citizens in the past 50 years. The cult needed to be taken down, but the way it was done, with the slaughter of 54 adults and 28 children will ALWAYS be a depicable cautionary warning about the dangers of government. The irony is, it was TRUMP that sent in anonymised militia to drag citizens off the streets during the BLM riots. HE is exactly the fascist authoritarian "leader" that the Waco people were concerned about!

  1277. The criminal former lawyer who lost his own legal license and spent a year in prison, calling OTHER lawyers "morons." Priceless.

  1278. Never been a fan of consequentialism in sentencing. If a man drives recklessly, the charge should be reckless driving if it's on an empty road, or he has the misfortune of plowing into a school line. His transgression was identical.

  1280. If they don't lock him up soon, there's a chance Trump will pardon him. Sick of this pathetic kid gloves treatment. That black woman in Florida was never treated so gingerly. 2 years in prison no messing, and she returned the stuff immediately.

  1281. I have mixed feelings. Illegally obtained evidence has scuppered some very important cases, and the rule is there to protect us all from the police. On the other hand, this is a very minor technicality and a stupid law designed to protect criminals in the first place.

  1288. The fact that justice depends upon who appointed the judge is a goddamned anathema to the entire concept of justice. America needs tearing apart and rebuilding. Start by getting money out of politics.

  1289. Habba could retire today and go live somewhere pleasant without ever working another day just off the money from Trump. The only solution is to make her pay so heavily she loses all her ill gotten gains.

  1293. Not a matter of being naysayers - he's still not paid a nickel of his own money in any case since his presidency. The entire right are working to protect him. It's goddamned sickening. Witnessing what has happened thus far, it's only possible to be highly sceptical that he will EVER be held truly accountable. That's not being a naysayer - that's being someone who sees the trajectory of justice in America, and before you get too self satisfied, 200 million America females have permanently lost abortion rights in the USA, and the supreme court is as corrupt as it has ever been.

  1294. Why is criminal Cohen being used as an opinion? He was part of the problem. He's a one to talk about someone being a Trump lapdog and trying to promote his book FFS!

  1295. I've never before seen an entire nation's legal system bend over backwards to the benefit of an entire related group of people. Why should ANY American respect the law after the past 4 years? The social contract is dead. The consent of the people to be governed is over. People of good conscience no longer have any reason to respect the law when it so blatantly protects the powerful.

  1296. The most shameless Republicans desperate for a seat at the table is everyone at Fox.
