    i never watch TV, we have a TV host who is a very charismatic, forceful speaker who has bedazzled many Americans with fanciful rhetoric, and then we have another group who reads and has watched from a distance the escapades of the DON and his "business dealings" and have figured him for the huckster he appears to be, a lifetime of insulating layers of lawyers...just remember Al CAPONE went down for income tax evasion. NOT for the many other crimes commited

    He would be a hypocrite if he had not announced that he had changed his position.

    Anyone who finally discovers how corrupt our criminal justice system has become will discover how important the BOA is for the protection of the innocent.

    And also a figment of your imagination.

    You have to come up with this concept of worshipers because you can't argue with the supporters and that frustrates you. So the people you disagree with must be wrong hence just really healthy dose of narcissism.

    Did leftists say that people who plead the 5th are guilty? That was Trump I believe. So Trump plead the 5th so we can assume based on his beliefs towards the 5th amendment, he is guilty of some crime.

    The amount of gas lighting never ceases to amaze me. People love and adore Trump because he was going to drain the swamp and isn't a politician. Yet, when he does the same thing they accuse liberals of doing, they say "well liberals do it to why focus on Trump???"

    Excuse after excuse.

    Starting to get scary? To quote a favorite movie line, "Welcome to the party, pal!" He scared me back in the nineties when he first started muttering about running for president. The effect I feared that he would have on our country almost came to pass, and still could.

    The effect he's had on those who seem to worship him and see him as a hero has been scary to me since 2015, when what had started as the Tea Party became radicalized and started hanging on his every word.

    Lois Lerner of the FBI testified before the entire nation that taking the 5th was NOT an admission of guilt and the Left cheered her "strength". Funny how the shoe is suddenly on the other foot.

    Pathetic Dems have revealed both their lawlessness and their sheer desperation, with the lawless heavily armed raid on the President and Leading Contender as the Democrats opponent in the upcoming presidential election. Good for Trump. Every time he took the 5th he was telling them to stuff it right up their asses, and he was speaking for all of us.

    I wanted Trump to pass the torch to DeSantis, but the heavily armed Deep State, by making it undeniable how deluded and dangerous they are, have moved the needle toward Trump's re-election further and faster than I even thought was possible.

    MAKING OTHER NUMBERS UP:

    Vicious vindictive "NY Attorney General Letitia James ran on a campaign of “getting Trump”. Two days ago, Joe Biden attacked his political rival with the full force and power of the Federal Government dispatching 30" heavily armed "FBI agents to raid his home in Florida."

    "The goal is to keep Trump off the ballot."

    "Trump is accused of committing fraud by Letitia James in the way he ran his business. He is accussed of inflating the assets on the business balance sheet to get loans and conduct business with other entities. I saw Trump’s statement, and predictably it was an attacking statement. People forget that the thing a lot of us like is he actually fights and fights aggressively."

    "Trump is right. She is a pure political hack no different than an apparatchik in the Stalin Administration."

    "Reasonable people will see the light. People with Trump Derangement Syndrome will never see the light."

    "Private markets are just that, private. Trump’s hotel business isn’t public. It’s not listed on a stock exchange. There is no private marketplace where you can buy and sell Trump shares in his hotels. It’s 100% his."

    "He can value his buildings at whatever the heck he wants to value them at. He can say each one is worth $1B, $10B or a hundred million bajillion trillion. If he doesn’t have any outside equity investors, it doesn’t matter at all what he values them at."

    Banks have their own appraisers as do taxing authorities. This idiot thinks you all are dumb enough to think that the government and banks don't do appraisals on loans or to collect property taxes. Have they never refinanced a home? Bought a home? Got and equity loan, paid property taxes? The way Trump derangement rots the mind is amazing.

    I don't hate the 5th.

    But I know that only the guilty use it.

    And before today, Trump agreed with me.

    The vendetta took place on November 3, 2020.

    Of you think it's just the to protect the guilty than yes you do.
    No it's people you desperately want to be guilty and you're frustrated because you don't get to persecute them.

    It's precisely people like you that caused the creation of the fifth amendment. It's too protect people from your bigotry.
    Yeah people tend to not understand something until they need it.


    No it didn't. You're bloodlust will never be satisfied. That's how it works.

    “You see the mob takes the Fifth,” he said. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”

    Donald Trump

    LoL

    Like Trump and DeSantis haven't been on a collision course since January 2021.

    The 30% hardcore MAGA will probably win Trump the nomination.

    But the 80+ million voters who voted against him in 2020 will keep him from becoming a 2nd Putin.

    I believe that if not for the covid crisis Trump would have won.
    Polls? I haven't seen any (at not that I recall), but the #2 reason cited for his loss was the handling of covid.

    Presidential? 2016. Will you now change the goalposts to that of the popular vote?

    LOL... Why don't you tell us, in nauseating detail, the #1 reason cited for his loss....

    Unlike the COVID excuse, it's as true today as it was in 2016 and 2020.....

    Wish I could take credit, but it was Republican Senator Ben Sass who described the Cry Baby Loser's fawning lickspittles thusly, and religious belief is impervious to rational discourse. Dead-end Trumpers eagerly swallow what Attorney General Barr dismissed as "Bullshit!"

    Why are folks surprised that the Loser refused to self-incriminate, as is his right.

    John Eastman, a Republican lawyer, took the 5th more than 100 times.

    Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department official, took the 5th more than 100 times

    Michael Flynn, former security adviser to Trump, also took the 5th more than 100 times.

    To quote their leader; “You see the mob takes the Fifth. If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”

    I will say this: if YOU are the target of ANY investigation, you are an IDIOT if you say ANYTHING to ANY investigator or officer.

    Why in the world would you voluntarily say anything to someone who will use anything you say against you?

    It doesn't matter if it's jaywalking or homicide, you take the 5th.
