This is gonna get interesting
“A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald J. Trump on Thursday for his role in paying hush money to a porn star, according to four people with knowledge of the matter, a historic development that will shake up the 2024 presidential race and forever mark him as the nation’s first former president to face criminal charges.“

I’m not sure how they think they will make it stick, but “Let the Games Begin”.
We have been told that Grand Jury matters are secret. How could 4 people share knowledge of the vote?

Whatever the truth and final judicial outcome may be, I suspect that less people will be moved to vote for someone that they wouldn’t have already, just because he’s pending a felony trial, than in the other direction. I’m hoping to find a non-corrupt fiscal conservative that supports the Bill of Rights. Yes, I’m prepared for disappointment, just like in years past.
Isn’t this what he was impeached for? The shady hush money?
All candidates running against Trump as Repulicans need to withdrawl immediatley and support Trump.
Im sending $$$ to Trumps re election fund. Join me give until it hurts!
No he was impeached for the fake russian story
Yeah and i thought a guy who had a stroke and couldnt put a sentence together would have no support. Thats what we get for thinking.
This is political theater. They are terrified of Trump because they are worried the fraud won’t work again. Honestly, the fraud will more than likely work so not sure why they are jumping out of their skin.
Secondly this is an attempt to set up another J6. They are hoping for an over reaction. As much as I would love to see the party start, at this time we need to keep our powder dry. Plus, no one has the balls to do anything so I’m not sure what they are expecting.
What do you expect from the same state that elected a dead guy to office.
Ron DeSantis responds…
[i]The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head.
It is un-American.
The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent.
Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda.

Hoping this is sarcasm…
Why would better candidates withdraw just because an obvious contender is under a bogus prosecution? Isn’t that just handing things over to hostile dems to pull the strings, by a predictable and counter-productive reaction?
Are you talking about Biden, Fetterman, or who? Dems are pretty good at getting incoherent turnips into office.
The prosecution is 100% BS, but that doesn’t magically turn Trump into a great candidate. I voted for him twice now, but won’t be voting for him in the primary. In the general I’ll vote for whoever the “R” candidate is, I guess, but would rather it not be Trump.
The US will get the president the permanent bureaucracy allows them to have.
Isn’t he being charged with a law that has never been applied to anyone since it’s an existence? A law that is basically an add-on charge to be used if there were federal charges as I understand it.
I don’t believe republicans should change their plans to run for the nomination, but I’ll be sending a few dollars to Trump one way or another. I would expect Trump to turn this around into a fundraising opportunity. I’d buy a cap or coffee ‘mugshot’ mug from Trump.
Another example of what a total sham the legal system is, what absolute bullshit and lies that the US is a just and freedom loving democracy, no different .gov than any third world chithole banana republic. Real criminal pigs like the xidens, clintons, obamas, pelosi, soros, et al are laughing at the impotence and incompetence of the citizenry while they are ones who should be jailed.
This country is a rapidly turning into the farce that is red china.
Me too! I will gladly and preferentially vote for DeSantis to get the nomination, but will choke back the vomit and reluctantly hit the lever for Trump if he wins it (which would make the THIRD time I might add).
EDIT: this is a bullshit indictment and is in keeping with the Left’s control over the organs of the state, especially those with “authority”…prosecute (or not), raid their home at 3AM (or not), determine what gets released to us serfs in the public, etc.
I know it is a technical distinction, but is he indicted, or has the GJ just voted to do it? As in the files actually have to be charged by the DA and filed? Does the DA have to actually follow up with charges and a prosecute the case? The case, as we know, is BS and will be lost in any rational court case, but the left gets all that they want out of the vote in the GJ. And not filing the charges is a better public relations win than losing in court.
And yes, this is all because the Biden family’s corruption case was getting interesting.
They VOTED to indict. Actual charges haven’t been filed and there’s no time limit I’m aware of for Bragg to file the charges in court.
Every bit of this charade goes back to 2016. The left never in a million years thought Trump would have a snowball”s chance in hell to beat their gal. They took that loss HARD and they’ve held a grudge ever since. This is just another chapter in their version of War and Peace. It will not end until Trump is dead. It likely won’t even end then. :mad:
Just saw that they have 30 counts, for one ‘crime’. If that doesn’t scream over-charging and desperation…
