    And he addressed that today in the proceedings did you miss it?

    Sure can't blame him with the way Dem/Leftist prosecutors had persecuted him for going on SEVEN YEARS now.

    I wouldn't call it evidence of wrongdoing... the phrase used is "adverse inference", which is a nice and tidy legal way of saying you look guilty as hell to your jury.... and they can consider it when deliberating....

    I didn't hear him say he was worried today, got a quote? You DO KNOW how long this has been investigated and the criminal investigation with the grand jury fizzled out with NOTHING?

    Well, seeing as the evidence is only JUST NOW being actually gathered, no, the true investigation hasn't been going on for very long.

    And taking the 5th is a right and is not to be interpreted as an admission of guilt is it. In fact juries are specifically instructed that invoking a right cannot be used as inference of guilt in a trial. In fact the Jan 6 committe has been accused of violating the rights of citizens by inferring their taking the 5th is proof of guilt as I have noted previously.

    Also, you seem to forget that the criminal investigation did result in criminal indictments. How did you miss that?

    He's a master of self-projection. Everything he accuses others of, he winds up doing or having already done.

    He's also invented an amazing semi-transparent material. (More than) Half the country can see right through him while the rest are completely blinded no matter how brazenly he drops his proverbial drawers in public.

    I'm not trying to convince you.

    If Trump killed someone in front of you, you'd find a way to justify him.

    I said nothing about anyone being charged with crimes, although that does necessitate the process of gathering evidence that some are determined to conceal.

    Exposing the truth is far more important.

    The Cry Baby Loser knows his weird worshipers well, and exploits them.

    Pleading the fifth is not supposed to make you think that someone's automatically guilty you're doing that because you want him to be.

    That's only true because people like you made it true. People like you act like everything the man does or everything he's accused of is capital offense. And nine times out of 10 whatever you accused him of wasn't true.

    Well sweet dreams so then Joshua's mom comes in and it turns out Grandpa sent is dead yeah don't blame Trump just because you hate the fifth amendment.

    It's to protect people from people like you. You know people with a vendetta.

    You are raving irrationally.

    Where did I ever accuse the Cry Baby Loser of a crime?

    If his weird worshipers actually believe, e.g., that he won the 2020 election in a "Landslide!" despite all credible evidence to the contrary, or that there was nothing untoward about his gleefully watching his goons attack outnumber police for three hours as his family, minions, media cheerleaders and others begged him to call them off, those are dogmatic articles of faith that are not amenable to reason.

    Yep and I am sure he followed the advice of his lawyers in doing so with all the Dem prosecutors at the DOJ and around the country who are trying to fine SOMETHING.............ANYTHING to charge him with a crime to prevent him from running again.

    And the moment your speculation is relevant, I'll let you know.

    There's a reason why you have to rely on memes and can't actually defend your accusation.

    I'm just puzzled as to why the democrats don't trust the voters to make the right decision in 2024. If Trump is that bad then be ready to campaign against him and make the case to the voters as to why they should vote for a Democrat over Trump. Seems like they lack confidence in the American citizen.

    I expected him to at least match the integrity that Hillary had during her dozens of investigations.

    Imagine being a bigger piece of scum than that. An excellent representative for what the right has become.

    Lets run it through the popular vote then, since this should be left up to the “voters”.

    Deal?

    When was the last election y’all actually won?
