Trump is going to jail on my birthday.

DeSantis response is interesting. Trumps main danger at this point is from traitors. How Fox News portrays this to the boomers is what is relevant at this point. Everybody else this hardens their position.

For those saying Biden is dumb to have a confence. Its a display of power. You arent the audience he is trying to reach. Just like Trumps rallies dont exist to reach Democrats. This is him saying he delivered to the base. His biggest problem from the Dems perspective is his basd turning on him. Not external enemies.

Which won’t happen when you give idiot Biden supporters their blind validity to suport him.

Hilary Clinton is so happy, right now.

Funny enough:

Here is another bombshell for everyone here, this time the news is more literal then judicial.

Biden secretly gave Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia with US weapons​

The Biden administration has quietly given Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia — solely near the area of Kharkiv — using U.S.-provided weapons, three U.S. officials and two other people familiar with the move said Thursday, a major reversal that will help Ukraine to better defend its second-largest city.

“The president recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine is able to use U.S. weapons for counter-fire purposes in Kharkiv so Ukraine can hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them,” one of the U.S. officials said, adding that the policy of not allowing long-range strikes inside Russia “has not changed.”

Ukraine asked the U.S. to make this policy change only after Russia’s offensive on Kharkiv began this month, the official added. All the people were granted anonymity to discuss internal decisions that haven’t been announced.

In the last few days, the U.S. made the decision to allow Ukraine “flexibility” to defend itself from attacks on the border near Kharkiv, the second U.S. official said.

In effect, Ukraine can now use American-provided weapons, such as rockets and rocket launchers, to shoot down launched Russian missiles heading toward Kharkiv, at troops massing just over the Russian border near the city, or Russian bombers launching bombs toward Ukrainian territory. But the official said Ukraine cannot use those weapons to hit civilian infrastructure or launch long-range missiles, such as the Army Tactical Missile System, to hit military targets deep inside Russia.

It’s a stunning shift the administration initially said would escalate the war by more directly involving the U.S. in the fight. But worsening conditions for Ukraine on the battlefield –– namely Russia’s advances and improved position in Kharkiv –– led the president to change his mind.

The National Security Council did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Biden administration hinted that a decision had either been secretly made or forthcoming in recent days. On Wednesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who supports a restriction lift, became the first U.S. official to publicly hint that Biden may shift course and allow such strikes, telling reporters that U.S. policy toward Ukraine would evolve as needed. White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby later did not rule out a potential change.

Those messages came after top U.S. allies, such as the United Kingdom and France, said Ukraine should have the right to attack inside Russia using Western weapons. Lawmakers from both parties also supported the move publicly and privately, while top U.S. military officials briefed Congress behind closed doors that relaxing the restriction had “military value,” POLITICO first reported.

The Russian embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.

Some officials are concerned that Ukraine, when it attacks inside Russia using its own drones, has hit military targets unrelated to Russia’s invasion. The U.S. has strongly delivered the message that Kyiv must use American weapons only to directly hit Russian military sites used for its invasion of Ukraine, but not civilian infrastructure.

Ukrainian officials, from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on down, have pushed for the Biden administration to change its policy ever since Russia launched a large assault on Kharkiv. For weeks they’ve said an inability to attack Russian troop positions over the border complicated Ukraine’s defense of Kharkiv and the country writ large.

In a discussion with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Wednesday, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov made a “hard push” to use U.S. weapons in Russia, according to a person with knowledge of the call.

A long time ago I read "Johnny Tremain", a book about a young man just prior to the Revolutionary War.

In it, Johnny goes to court. During court, the wealthy guy and the judge do snuff together. It's there he realizes that he won't get any justice.

All that remains is for someone to get liquid silver poured on their hand.

"Nothing ever happens" is a psyop to make you think that clown world is normal.

No, it's just a basic fact of life. History is filled with mass death events or political upheavals that amounted to nothing in the long term or even short term. You'd be doing yourself a favor by not going full retard and deluding yourself into believing this case will mean anything other than Trump possibly getting prison time.

I'm not sure what you mean by this (blind validity?) but if I understand you right, his base has spent the past six months in a constant civil war between the activist proggy wing/imported voters of a certain persuasion vs. the AIPAC-backed donor class (and he's managed to piss off both sides of that conflict via one action or another), and the economy alone has been enough of a shitshow for many of his supporters who did so out of a #NeverTrump persuasion to edge closer and closer to just not bothering to vote this fall. He absolutely has been dealing with his base not necessarily totally turning on him, but getting disgusted with him enough to not bother.
So yes, this conviction is the red meat (or plant-based alternative) he's needed to throw at them for a while now.

 

[The Last Stand]

If true, @The Last Stand is happier, knowing that Hilldawg is filled with joy

I don't like Hillary Clinton anymore.

mass death events

political upheavals

amounted to nothing

my dude are you even listening to yourself. Unless you have some lofty standard of what "something happening" is, mass death and political upheaval is far from 'nothing'

you're clearly a guy who has way too much invested in the System working out, despite you clearly admitting upheaval is possible

As if there were doubt, this has sealed that the Democrats are willing to destroy the concept of law in order to maintain power. This has got to be rattling some normal people. It was a show trial, it was obvious bullshit...and the judge just basically handwaved in a conviction using Calvinball rules. Anyone hoping for this to be overturned on appeal is huffing copium. Maybe if it goes to the SCOTUS, but they'll probably decline to hear it. There is no institution more dangerous to this country right now than the Democratic Party. They've gone completely rogue, tearing up our laws and Constitution, attempting to dissolve the population via criminal migration, turning kids into sex objects, and more.

Shit, we really have crossed into bizarro-world. Never should have killed that gorilla.

And the perfect response would be the electoral votes from 2016.

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS NOTHING EVER HAPPENS NOTHING EVER HAPPENS​

 

[Breadbassket]

Nothing ever happens until it does. The world works in unpredictable ways at times. For example, the incident that kicked off World War 1 occurred because an Austrian royal returned to see the wounded after a failed assassination attempt on his life, it was during this time when his car unexpectedly stopped in front of a deli and a Serbian nationalist took out a pistol and shot him in the neck point-blank.

Can't wait to tell my grandkids how I voted a felon into power.

 

[The Ugly One]

It's over. He's not winning in November and he never was going to win in November. Nothing will happen. There will be no violence or uprising or any sort of meaningful change stemming from this. Everyone will shit their pants and do nothing.

"The Democrats will put our laws through a paper shredder, play Calvinball in court, and jail a President for the crime of winning, but they totally wouldn't dare cheat in another election!"
