  1. Can we please stop giving this TRAITOR air time? The only time he deserves is time behind bars.

  2. This sounds like a "every man for himself" situation. Senators oppose Trump to increase their chance of being re-elected, even if it may torpedo Trump's re-election bid. But they still allow the mad tyrant to tread the constitution under foot. Too little, too late, boys. #justiceiscoming

  3. Wow. Depending on how "convincing" Barr was, this is a violation of the 1st amendment. Just the fact that Barr discussed the content with Fox is probably a violation of the 1st. This should be enough to put both Barr and Trump behind bars, and certainly enough to get both out of office. In any democracy, I would expect both Barr and Trump to hand in their resignations in the next 24 hours, now that this news has broken. If not, I would expect an emergency meeting of the House where Barr would be called on to explain himself, and hand in his resignations a few hours after that. Barr would be out of office on Monday afternoon, regardless of whether he handed in his resignation or not. This is something that can not be accepted in a democracy.

  4. ​ @oculusnomadslosttribe5672  You are sadly right. The "Lost Cause" deception has been allowed to take root, and this is the result. These fools want to re-do the civil war and think they will come out on top this time. But this time, instead of a regular army, they will probably try terrorist attacks. There is still a chance it will stop. But if not, these fools are going to be disarmed very quickly, and the only thing they will achieve is that the 2nd amendment will be forever removed from the Constitution.

  5. I hope that this continued scandal, and the incredible way in which the Trumps abuse the legal system will cause it to be cleaned up. The current system is outright corrupt.
    13
  6. It is. But because Dump is the boss of the FBI and the Attorney General, they will be silent about this. BTW, this is in itself the crime of Obstruction of Justice. Any court case brought by a third party about this will linger in appeals and counter-suits for years if not a decade. The only ones who have the ability and the responsibility to stop this is the senate. But the Republican majority in the senate has stopped, halted, frustrated and ignored all investigation into Dumps crimes. Dump like a child who is just testing how far he can go. The biggest blame for the current situation is on the Republican senators, as they are responsible to reprimand him, just like the responsibility for a spoiled child is with the parents, not the child. If Moscow Mitch were to confer with Pelosi about an expedited impeachment, Dump would be history in a day or two. That he doesn't, shows how completely corrupt and hypocritical the GOP has become. VOTE BLUE!
    12
  7.  @terryfuldsgaming7995  Does that matter? At least the guilt for the ongoing sham will be squarely on the GOP senators. If the House does not impeach, they are implicitly agreeing with this corruption. For evil to triumph ...

  8. Trump's team is discovering that No, Crime Doesn't Pay!

  9. But for the clang of a prison door...

  10.  @dabouras  Well, the democrats need to do something more substantial than complaining, otherwise that will be used against them.
    8
  11. At the time, Trump was still the head of the government. No way he was going to be arrested while president. Right now, the delay is probably because the DoJ needs to get rid of a lot of Trump plants who are throwing spanners in the works. Also, the case against him will need to be absolutely water tight. The investigators probably first want to learn all they can from the little fishes before they have a clear picture, with lots of testimony, of the roles of the big fish.

  13. If you don't discipline your child while he is young, a judge will discipline him when he is older. I hope daddy is happy with what he did to his son.

  14. ​ @mikenewman4078  Believe you me, as a European, I would consider it much worse for Trump not to be indicted. That would prove to me that there is no Rule of Law in the USA. We all know what happened, and we all know who is guilty. He committed Sedition, he needs to be jailed. Considering the gravity of what happened, I would expect the maximum punishment: 10 years.

  15. While absurdly stupid, her defense does show the attitude these people have: "The Constitution says what we want it to say, not what it actually says". They somehow have a mindset that because they are "Constitution-loving True Americans", whatever they think must be constitutional. But what those who opposes them say and do, must not be Constitutional. This is a psychological disorder or at best a serious delusion. It does not bode well for the Rule of Law when these people have power: they do not accept the authority of the Law over them, but instead make themselves authorities over the Law.
    7
  16. In this case, it is more stupidity than lack of empathy. Failing to learn from others is pretty stupid.
    6
  17. No-one is above the Law. ESPECIALLY not those who make the Law.

  18. This is way bigger than any of those (Enron, Leman, Madoff). This case will be the beginning of the end of corruption in US politics (I hope).

  19.  @Steph-sb9tc  Taxation is NOT theft. It is a construct where with we enable a government to do the things for us that we can not do for ourselves. Like build roads and bridges, have an army fight for us, organize a legal system, investigate crimes, organize education and healthcare. Society can not function without taxes. There has never been a society that even tried it. You can argue about how much the government should do, and how much taxes should be levied, but there can be no civilization without government, and no government without taxes. Looking at the state of the roads and bridges in the US, I'd say you are not paying enough taxes. Perhaps government is misusing the taxes, but that is something to discuss with them.

  20. The USA has no right to call itself a democracy until this voter suppression STOPS.

  21. Sidney Powell needs to be sanctioned, and sanctioned very hard. Her lies led directly to the jan 6th insurrection.
    4
  22. She also ticks the boxes "Blonde" and "White".

  23. Trump is just testing the waters here, how far he can go without consequences. Up to now, he hasn't had any consequences, so he will just continue to change the USA into a fascist dictatorship.
    4
  24. For a company that is known for spreading lies and encouraging misconduct, this is par for the course.

  25. The Trumps never do anything for its stated purpose. They only want to grift more money. So as far as Ivanka is concerned, this whole scam will count as another big victory.

  26. ​ @Eyeris625  This already is a violation of the 1st amendment. Your freedom of speech has already gone, if this is allowed without consequences for both Barr and Trump.

  29. The bozos should have done that when they had the legal opportunity to kick him out of the White House. But they let it pass. They appeased the bully, and now he knows he has them by the balls.

  30. The call it "the pit of snakes". Courtiers think nothing of murder if it would give them an advantage.

  31. Likely Cohen has his bases covered, with records of all the instructions he received from the kingpin. Cohen is Trump's worst nightmare: I hope he lives to testify.

  32. She is an extremely sick person to do something like that to your daughter.

  33. Well put! Trump is currently bullying the GOP. But a bully's power lasts only until he is confronted.

  34. I think he got born inside wedlock, so he got that right. After that? Nada.

  35. He still has assets, and the government is usually first in queue when liquidating, before the banks.

  36. FYI, Lady Justice wears a blindfold so as not so be influenced by the how the persons coming before her look (i.e. rich or poor, their race or religion, their sex) but only by the facts in their statements and arguments. The US version has had her blindfold removed long ago. In fact, she needs it back!

  37. "God can not be mocked: a man reaps what he sows". He may well be partially responsible for the unnecessary deaths of many people; now he died himself. He spread ignorance, stupidity and hubris in contradicting the experts. But it turned out the experts were right, and he was wrong. I am sorry for his next of kin, I do hope that their eyes will be opened. The GQP has become a death-cult.

  38. But, if they were of equal quality, they would have been hired already. So your point does not hold up. An exodus of staffers would definitely hurt Fox.

  40. She is sorely missed...

  41. Great idea! However, PLEASE first introduce direct representation, otherwise you will only split the non-Republican vote and cause the Republicans to win in a landslide. The current system can only have two parties.

  42. Another insane Texas law, this one directly in direct violation of the First Amendment. Let the trials begin! Very good to point out the hypocrisy of the Conservatives.

  43. This is what you get for appeasing a bully and sacrificing what principles you have.
    2
  44. I am sure repuglians will shout "Censorship!" and "First Amendment Rights", and clamor for judges or government to interfere They are too dumb to understand that that interference would be an actual breach of the 1st amendment. "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom ... of the press." You have to wonder if the dummies can actually read.

  45. The only house Trump and his offspring belong in, is the house of correction.

  52. That's what you get for surrounding yourself with YES-men.

  53. This is what you get when you don't pay your lawyers: not very good lawyers who use your case for publicity. Again, that rock and hard place are of Trump's own doing.

  54. Considering that Gaetz actually committed federal crimes, GOP silence here compared to their outcry over Cuomo is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.

  56. We may need to award Darwin Awards to people voting for these clowns.

  57. Reminds me of the aftermath of the French revolution, where some people took it upon themselves to determine who was true to the republic and who was not. Needless to say, it did not end well for those people.

  58. A golden cage is still a cage.

  59.  @jonmcguire2195  This did not happen. If it did, the Republicans would have loudly cried out about it, the FBI would have investigated it, and the Obama campaign would have been indicted. That is the advantage of Dump having been president for 4 years. You can't claim this type of BS anymore, because if it did happen, DUMP is to BLAME for not having this crime prosecuted!

  60. GOP voters should really consider what their politicians have actually done for them. Most of what they do actually hurts their interests. And don't think they will ever get rid of Roe vs Wade. They are using that as a carrot to dangle in front of them, to get them to vote GOP. But they will never actually do something about it.

  61. It goes to show how sick prominent Trumpians are. Imagine, a mother exposing her teenage daughter like that. Some teens have killed themselves when such a thing happened.

  62. I love the Lincoln Project. Sure, they are hard-core Republicans responsible for a lot of the mess the US is in right now, but all their adds are the plain and simple truth.

  63. The 2nd amendment allows an organized militia to secure a free state! It is not allowed to oppress the citizens of said state, or oppose the outcome of a free election.

  64. The Nuremberg defense sometimes works in military situations, but these protesters were NOT under the direct command of Führer Trump. And they did not face the death penalty for insubordination. They have no excuse.

  65. Yet another candidate for the 2022 Darwin Award. With Covidiots, you at least have natural selection working. I am more worried about the fools that are prepared to destroy democracy because of conspiracy lies.

  66. Good move by Fox. It seems they don't want any liability for the violence that may result when the trumpists are further triggered by cries of election fraud.

  67. Let's hope that the rage about the grifting of Trump inc will lead to greater scrutiny of all grifting politicians. 'Cause corruption did not start with Trump, he is just the most disgusting one.

  68. Trump is not the cause of the demise of the GOP. It is that the GOP continues to support and even enable Trump. Even now, they can impeach and condemn Trump for him being compromised through his debts, or any other crime committed by Trump that has come to light the past 4 years. If the GOP senate leaders were to confer with Pelosi, Trump could be gone in days, and the GOP would have done right for America.
    1
  69. Why does a judge take this into consideration? If you or me filed such claims, we would be laughed out of court. Congress has the authority, end of story. But I do think it is worth it, for jurisprudence-sake. No President should ever be able to pull these stunts in the future. Congress needs to assert its authority, after Trump has trampled on it for 4 years.

  71. I am very sorry for the scientists involved, but they need to be prosecuted for falsifying data. They are personally responsible for that data, and the "Befehl ist Befehl" defense is no excuse for endangering human lives and corrupting your personal integrity. They should have walked away when ordered to change their conclusions.

  72. This case is the clearest example of Sedition since the Civil War. However, as even the Civil War did not lead to convictions for Sedition, I do not have much hope this case will.

  77. These republicans have been so emboldened by Dump that they have committed crimes left and right. Now it is time to reap the results. The USA as we know it will not survive, if they are allowed to get away with this.

  78. These sycophant excuses are so lame. The fool must both be racist and stupid. Stupid for re-tweeting a clip without reviewing it. Stupid for not letting his staff handle his twitter account. Racist and stupid both for not condemning the comment in the clip, that he put his signature under.
    1
  79. The US needs to be ashamed of itself for this bozo that thinks he can become president. He is worse than Trump. Trump took the party into his own hand and determined its course (possibly with some help from Putin) while Cruz is just riding the wave of populism created by Trump.
    1
  80. Trump will get a lot of people to invest into this, take all the money, and let the venture fail. All for the grift.

  81. Have no doubts about that. The current madness besetting the GOP is a ploy of Satan. He is called the "father of lies", so any movement based on lies has his signature.

  82. Trump also rode roughshod over several senior military leaders...

  83. You don't need more laws to keep the Republicans in check. The biggest problem in the USA are the donations from businesses and rich people with which they buy influence. That has corrupted the country.

  93.  @conniejenni5504  Instead of banging it, they'd better read the Bible. That would teach them some things about compassion, serving, humility and giving instead of taking. Supporting Trump goes a long way into proving you are not a Christian, in spite of what you may think you are.

  94. ​ @lynnpabontheelitehero6579  Interesting thought, but such behavior is taught and caught instead of genetically predetermined. Lots of families are torn apart by one side choosing the path of the loons, including my wife's and Farron's. <EDIT>: It also seems to affect middle-aged and older people more than young people. Somehow, people regress into puberty under the influence of fox and friends?

  95. And THIS is why Trump really should have been impeached. I do not understand why the Democrats did nothing about this, the House has authority to deal with anyone obstructing these investigations.

  98. Politics ans business don't mix well.

  99. Exactly. There are some things that you need to take care of as a community. Not trying to fleece the people, not competing with anyone, but maximizing the common good. Things like education, healthcare, infrastructure (roads, rail, waterways, communication / internet), law enforcement and defense can not be left to the free market. The free market will always maximize profit, not the overall good. Just look at healthcare. The US pays several times as much for health care as any other developed nation, but gets far inferior service in return. That's the market for you. Same with internet. Your internet sucks, yet it costs several times as much as mine.

  100. In most democracies, this behavior would be called "corruption". Both Manchin and the executives of the Chamber of Commerce would be thrown in prison.

  103. Great news. Now every time Trump tries to raise this point, the prosecutor can point to the ruling by the appeals court as jurisprudence, and have it dismissed.

  106. The USA is in deep shit. A large part of its people have no more respect for truth or for the Law. Best way to fix this: deal with the sources of misinformation. It has become a matter of national security, witness the jan 6th attacks.

  107. This is going faster than I imagined. The lid is off the sewer! Thank God workers still have some rights in the USA.

  108. It never ceases to amaze me how rich people in the USA can abuse the Legal system. Arguing with a judge or DA about whether or not you can be heard in a court case? NUTS! When the judge calls upon you to testify, you testify. When the DA marks you as a suspect or includes you in a court case, you are part of it until all evidence has been considered and it turns out you were indeed not involved. Refusing to hear the evidence but rather decide off-hand that a party is not involved in spite of strong indications to the opposite sounds a like outright corruption.

  111. I completely agree with Stevens. If the Republican party was somehow uncomfortable with Dump, they would have taken the first opportunity to get rid of him with both hands. Instead, they almost to a person stood behind Dump last winter. That was the moment the Republicans showed their true colors, and spat in the face of the constitution at the same time. The Republican party has lost all moral integrity, and is indeed beyond salvation.
    1
  112. I don't know if the Democrats are "caving". The way the Senate operates, especially the fillibuster, force them to do things they don't want. Why on earth some "democrats" are still supporting the fillibuster is, however, beyond me. It is an evil and undemocratic institution that is ONLY used to frustrate the will of The People, and must be kicked out at your earliest convenience.

  113. Mr Braggs needs to remember that the future of the USA depends heavily on his and his colleague's decisions. Perhaps the bravery of the Ukrainians can inspire this man to do what needs to be done to Putin's lapdog.

  114. This case is very simple. The Law & the Constitution recognizes The President. It does not recognize an Ex President: they are just regular citizens with all the same rights & duties all Americans have. I fully expect the National Archives to ignore the commands Trump tries to give it.

  119. The news of Trump not paying his lawyers may have something to do with them being unwilling to defend Trump. Perhaps if he pays up-front, someone might... If you don't want to be ripped off, pay your accountants. If you want to stay out of jail, pay the frigging lawyers! We may see the day that Trump needs pro-deo lawyers to defend him in real trials, with real jail sentences at stake.

God did not loose the election: His candidate won. It is sad that so many of America's Christians supported the other guy. They are now humbled, let's hope they learn from the experience.

  124. This is all very amusing. However, Trump will appeal these cases until the Supreme Court. The McConnell-packed Supreme Court. I am not convinced they will dare to uphold a Trump conviction, no matter how many laws the man violated.

  125. ​ @jodipattison3661  As long as it is justice, I'm fine with that. Those that break the law, e.g. by not stepping in and preventing Dump mess up the Covid response, need to feel its wrath. The purpose of Law is to protect the People, and their rights.

  126. Trump will pay his lawyers before he pays his family...

  129. The only reason republicans support Trump is because they don't want to be seen as the guy who took him down. This is all posturing and grandstanding, waiting for some external event to take care of Trump (i.e. the Justice system). Then they can claim to be the bestest Trumpian, and take over his mantle.

  135. Next thing, Dump will be asking Adelson for "protection money". "You know, I like this Adelson. Met him a few times, don't really know him. I want him no harm. But his business looks a bit shaky, I heard Barr talk about him, that he might start an investigation". He'll probably do it live on television.

  139. The only way to "expand the system" is to get rid of the district voting system. Get rid of the electoral college. Just tabulate all votes regardless of where they were cast, and divide seats accordingly. As a result, many more parties will pass the bar to be represented in the house, and voila: a much fairer and democratic system where all voices are represented. It will also make a repeat of the last 3 years less likely. For electing the president, this means a two-stage election process is required: the first round selects two candidates out of all willing to run, the second round chooses the actual president out of these two. No need e.g. for primaries, which tend to select radical candidates that are a bad representative for almost half the nation. Most republics select their president in this way, for example France.

  141. Very true, a president should divest all his business interests to avoid him being sensitive to outside pressures or having incentives for fraud. However, Trump did not do that. But Deutsche Bank can only start to seize properties after the loans become due.

  142. Good point about the systemic racism. This alone is why these criminals must be prosecuted. The person of color in your example is being harassed by the officer, and being slow to obey a random order. The criminals in the Dump administration are knowingly breaking federal laws and abusing their power. In my book, abusing power is a far greater crime than resisting being harassed.

  144. The power of the senate to block and stop the house is very undemocratic. The current republican majority represents 15,000,000 less people than the democrat majority.

  147. It is not certain this will happen. Perhaps Trump can find another bank or person that would re-finance him so he can pay off Deutsche Bank. Time to call in some favors from his buddies Putin and Xi? Or perhaps his Saudi friends?

  159. Let me tell you, as a citizen of the EU, that the international optics of playing nice to Trump sr, will be MUCH WORSE than letting Lady Justice keep her blindfold. Trump being a fraud ain't news to most of us. Justice is not Justice if it is not the same for everybody. Soft healers make stinking wounds.

  160. ​ Michigan fan  That would be a very brave if stupid action, knowing these trumpists will shoot you if they feel attacked, and then claim self-defense. Much better to film their actions and report them to the police. Physically blocking people from entering will probably count as assault. And putting it out on youtube will force the officials to protect people's right to vote.

  162. "What Putin did was smart" No, it wasn't. Putin is going down, very soon. His future is a cell in The Hague, IF he survives the change of regime.

  163. About Double Jeopardy: Impeachment is NOT the same as a legal trial, as it has no authority to punish people. I.e. there is no "jeopardy" for Trump during the impeachment trial. Also, even that slimeball McConnel made it very clear that being acquitted during the impeachment did not take away the possibility of legal prosecution. The Senate voted to acquit because some did not feel (falsely) they had the authority to convict a person no longer in office. That is equivalent to a court ruling that it has no jurisdiction over a case. That in no way diminishes the right for another court that has jurisdiction, to prosecute. If Double Jeopardy were applicable, it would not be possible to prosecute a person who defrauded his company if he was reviewed for dismissal after that fraud had been found out.

  164. By calling Biden stupid, Trump is insulting the whole USA. Honor the office, not the man. Or did he really think that democrats stayed civil & respectful to him during his regime because he deserved that on his own merit?

  168. The case against Fox is both the hardest to argue, and the most important. Fox has been the main channel for spreading Trump's lies, and they need to bear the responsibility for the effects.
    1
  169. I wonder what would be worse for Trump: being convicted in a criminal case or being plucked in a civil case. I think the latter. He stands a good chance of escaping prison due to his age and willingness to appeal ad infinitum, but his money and lifestyle are what he cares about. A civil case can be just as effective in ending both. But I just want the satisfaction of seeing this crook behind bars. Call me childish.

  174. In our country (Netherlands), we found that kids under 12 very rarely transmit Covid.19, even when they were in contact with infected people. Kids over 12 definitely do. That is why we opened elementary schools but not high school (we don't have middle school, elementary school runs till age 12). Still, we have strict rules e.g. that kids with even a running nose need to stay at home (except in cases where the running nose is chronic). Why is that distinction not being made in the USA discussion???

  175. The prosecutor might have better luck charging Trump as a co-conspirator. Then his pardon will be null and void.

  176. These people do something very subversive. They think they have the right to define a). what a Republican is, but even worse, b). what a "true" American is. In my book, the only "true" Americans are the children of those that were here before Columbus, but somehow I don't think these maniacs are talking about them.
    1
  177. The reason these lawyers are coming up with these dumb arguments, is because Trump can not afford good lawyers any more. In fact, it seems he can not afford any lawyers if we hear how he still needs to pay Guilliani for services rendered. My father always taught me there are two people I need to pay best of all: my accountant, and my lawyer. Seems Dump did not have a good father.

  180. When is SCOTUS finally going to conclude that rigging the vote like the Republicans have, is unconstitutional? The USA has no right to call itself a democracy until it does.

  181. It seems Fox leaders are waking up. Not that they have suddenly grown a conscience, but I bet that they are getting scared for being accomplices or even co-conspirators to the crimes of the Trump administration. I know I would be, especially when the news of Trump underplaying Covid came out. At some point, spreading mis-information becomes co-conspiracy, when that mis-information leads to deaths. I think Fox can expect some serious legal trouble as it is--as soon as Justice starts to matter again to the DoJ. Fox hosts spreading mis-information on Covid has led to many deaths, and after the Woodworth reveals Fox can no longer taut the "we are quoting the president" line.

  182. And THIS is why a prospective presidential candidate needs to release his tax records, BEFORE people vote for him in primaries. You wanna be president? Show us how financially stable you are and we will consider it.

  183. The democrats are to blame for letting the earlier subpoenas come to nothing. They failed to enforce those subpoenas. It is like drawing a gun but being unwilling to use it. Their bluff was called and shown to be just that: a bluff.

  184. The republican party is rotten to its core. It hasn't been working for its voters for decades, and the truth is now becoming obvious. Politicians hiding from their support group? Wow, that is embarrassing. Time to finish it off, and start something new.

  193. Potential donors are quite right to being afraid of becoming complicit in manslaughter. According to Glenn Kirschner, the way Trump handles the Corona crisis is involuntary manslaughter. He is not a judge, but he has been involved in many such cases as prosecutor. With the same reasoning, helping Trump organize these rallies may also be involuntary manslaughter.

  197. ​ @allhumansarejusthuman.5776  "they either gave everyone a UBI" The only example of UBI that I can think of was the "Bread and Games" that were provided in ancient Rome. But that system was funded by slavery and aggressively conquering other nations (which were then taxed heavily), not something to emulate in this age. If you know of other examples that were not funded by slavery, please specify. The problem with UBI is that the people still need to do specific types of jobs. There needs to be a mechanism that makes people want to grow corn when there are too few farmers. Capitalism has been shown to be the best mechanism for this, because it gives positive incentives to invest and work and improve. The ancients used slavery, where the slaves were simply told to do what was required to keep civilization going.

  198. Farron has an excellent point: the fact that judges time their retirement with an eye on who replaces them is BAD. The executive branch has no business interfering with the judicial branch. Judges are more than capable to elect replacements themselves. That is what happens in real democracies: a panel of judges select new judges.

  199. Not just Trump... Voter suppression has been going on for decades now. Trump is not the first president who did not get the popular vote. The USA is not a democracy as long as this goes on.
